Acknowledgments

One person introduced me to the World English Bible. He, William Paolini, was in charge of a small group Bible study I attended at my church. It is from this awareness of this version of the Bible in the public domain that I chose to develop personal devotional aids for those Christians seeking to increase their familiarity with the Bible.

Another person was involved in making this workbook possible. I reached out to Michael P. Johnson, the author and editor in chief of the World English Bible, for guidance prior to contacting potential publishers to publish my workbook. He showed kindness and gave me encouragement to continue my effort to make this workbook.

Introduction

Please read the corresponding book and chapter of the Bible that is covered in this workbook per set of questions. It will help you learn the message in each chapter as you read it along with this workbook’s many sets of questions.

All the answers to the questions will provide the question with an answer that corresponds to a quoted verse or set of verses from the World English Bible. This version of the Bible is very similar to the American Standard Version Bible of 1901. The World English Bible is in the public domain. The World English Bible is a trademark of eBible.org.

Locations for the Answer Key chapters can easily be found in the Contents section of this workbook. There will be a page number for the start of each chapter’s solutions in the Contents section of this workbook. Each solution in the Answer Key section will contain the question, the correct choice that relates to the verse or verses from the World English Bible, and the actual quotation of the World English Bible.

Each chapter of the book of Matthew covered in this workbook will have a varying number of questions. You can see this by looking at the Quick Size Reference of Chapters by Question Count section at the beginning of this workbook. I wrote these questions to the best of my ability through the grace given to me and not by keeping a minimum number of required questions per chapter.

This workbook will help the reader reflect on the chapters that have been studied. The purpose of this workbook is to help the reader keep their attention on God’s Word steadily to grow in faith by reading the Bible on a frequent basis.

For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn’t return there, but waters the earth, and makes it grow and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater; so is my word that goes out of my mouth: it will not return to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will prosper in the thing I sent it to do.

Isaiah 55:10–11
