The Captain Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) A triumphant three for Thursday. A pitiful week. A large slice of humble pie washed down with a glass of hemlock tea.

The question being: Q1 (from George L. Gillespie) According to the King James Bible, what type of fruit grows on the tree of knowledge of good and evil; how many wise men worship the infant Jesus in Matthew's Gospel; what type of fish swallows Jonah; and what is Mary Magdalene's profession? Is the connection that there is no answer to any of them? ie. name of fruit not mentioned, Kings rather than wise men, whale rather than fish, and her profession wasn't mentioned? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welshy, it's what the text of the bible says rather than what we know through legend, thus 'unknown/unspecified' rather than 'no answer': 'Fruit of the tree' though legend has it as an apple 'Wise men'/'Magi' rather than x of the aforementioned though legend has it as 3 given there were 3 gifts. A great fish" though legend has it as a whale Mary of Magdala had 7 demons cast out of her but her job isn't specified though legend has her as a prostitute.
