"So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him (I Kings 19:19).

Where did Jesus walk in the temple?

[Ukulelemike]

Where did Jesus walk in the temple?

​Wherever He wanted!

 

Okay, Solomon's Porch, but He also was in the temple other times, without any reference to where exactly, AND he taught in the treasury of the temple, as well.

  Your edit brought out the correct and specific answer I was seeking, Mike!  You are so right that indeed Jesus walked in the treasury, and wherever He so chose to walk!  Praise Him for His omnipotence, huh?  Your answer was also correct, 2ndTimothy, and sorry about that...but Ukulelemike answered just before you.

What is the next question?

[Ukulelemike]

Guess its my turn.  Hmmm....

I am going to ask two questions. One, because its a Bible-based trivia question, though the answer is not IN the Bible, so it doesn't really count, and the other is in the Bible, so it does.

1 (answer in the Bible): What is an 'Ebenezer'?

2 (not in the Bible): When John the Baptist came a-baptizin', many of Israel came to him to be baptized. If baptism is a 'Christian' ordinance, and this was before the church had begun, why is it that that no one seemed confused by the 'new thing' and came to be baptized? Even the Pharisees and Saducees who came only questioned John's authority and identity, but not what he was doing. Why?

The Jews had already been baptizing for ritual purity so they could worship at the temple.

An Ebenezer is an item kept or placed as a memorial of a significant event.  A pile of stones at the site such as the 12 stones from the middle of the Jordan river as a memorial of God providing a miraculous crossing on dry ground in the midst of the river would be an example of an Ebenezer.

​That's half right, but it is more closely associated with something else in Jewish tradition. 1/2 point.

​  It has a more specific of a memorial meaning. Also, need the specific meaning-scripture does indicate it, though you need to see it in context. I think it's mentioned three times in scripture, but only once is it specified. 1/2 point.
