It was time for Elizabeth to give birth to her baby and a son was born to her. [1]
Her neighbours and relatives heard how wonderfully good the Lord had been to her /
they all rejoiced with her. [1]
When the baby was a week old / eight days old they came to circumcise him. [1]
They wanted to name him Zechariah after his father. [1]
But his mother said his name was to be John. [1]
They objected and said she did not have any relative with that name [1]
and made signs to the father to ask what name he would like the boy to have. [1]
Zechariah asked for a writing pad / tablet and wrote, “His name is John.” [1]
They were all very surprised. [1]
Immediately Zechariah was able to speak again, and he began to praise God. [1]
The neighbours were all filled with fear, [1]
and the news about these things spread through all the country of Judea. [1]
Everyone who heard of it, thought about it, and asked,
“What is this child going to be?” [1]
 It was evident that the Lord’s power was upon him. [1]
Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and he spoke God’s message. [1]

Herod was ruler of Galilee,
and his brother Philip was ruler of the territory of Iturea and Trachonitis,
Lysanias was ruler of Abilene,
and Annas and Caiaphas were high priests. (2 marks for any four items)

The word of God came to John, the son of Zechariah in the desert.
went throughout the whole region of the Jordan River, (1)
preaching, “Turn away from your sins and be baptized, and God will forgive your sins.” (1)
This was prophesied by Isaiah:
“Someone is shouting in the desert:
‘Get the road ready for the Lord;
make a straight path for him to travel!
Every valley must be filled up,
every hill and mountain levelled off.
The winding roads must be made straight,
and the rough paths made smooth.
All mankind will see God’s salvation!’ ” (2 marks for the main points)

Crowds of people came to be baptized by John. (1)

He called them ‘snakes’ and asked them who told them to escape from the punishment
God was about to send. (1)
He asked them to do things to show their repentance. /They must not depend on
Abraham being their ancestor. / God was able to raise up descendants for Abraham from the rocks.
(1)
He announced that the axe was ready to cut down the trees at the roots;
and every tree that does not bear good fruit would be cut down and thrown into the fire. (1)
The people asked him, “What are we to do, then?” (1)
He told them whoever had two shirts must give one to the man who had none,
and whoever had food must share it. (1)
To the tax collectors, he said that they must not collect more than is legal. (1)
To the soldiers, he said that they must not take money from anyone by force
or accuse anyone falsely. (1)
They were to be content with their pay. (1) Max 12

(b) What John told the people who thought he might be the Messiah (Luke 3:15-17)
He told them that he baptized with water,
but someone was coming who is much greater than he was. (1)
He himself was not good enough even to untie his sandals. (1)
 That greater One would baptize them with the Holy Spirit and with fire. (1)
He would have his winnowing shovel with him, to thresh out all the grain
and gather the wheat into his barn; but he would burn the chaff in a fire that never goes out. (1)
Max 3

5 (a) Give an account of the Temptation of Jesus in the desert. [10]

The Temptation of Jesus in the Desert (Lk 4:1-10)
Jesus returned from the Jordan full of the Holy Spirit and was led by the Spirit into the desert, 
where he was tempted by the Devil for forty days. (1)
In all that time he ate nothing, so that he was hungry when it was over. (1)
Max 2

The Devil said to him, “If you are God's Son, order this stone to turn into bread.” (1)
But Jesus answered, “The scripture says, ‘Human beings cannot live on bread alone.’” (1)
Max 2

Then the Devil took him up and showed him in a second all the kingdoms of the world. (1)
“I will give you all this power and all this wealth,” the Devil told him. “It has all been handed
over to me, and I can give it to anyone I choose. (1)
All this will be yours, then, if you worship me.” (1)
Jesus answered, “The scripture says, ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve only him!’” (1)

Max 3

Then the Devil took him to Jerusalem and set him on the highest point of the Temple, and said to
him, “If you are God's Son, throw yourself down from here.  (1)
For the scripture says, ‘God will order his angels to take good care of you.’  (1)
It also says, ‘They will hold you up with their hands so that not even your feet will be hurt on the
stones.’” (1)
But Jesus answered, “The scripture says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’” (1)
Max 3
When the Devil finished tempting Jesus in every way, he left him for a while.

(b) Comment on the significance of each temptation. [5]

Jesus quoted Scripture in overcoming each temptation. (1)

In the first temptation, the devil tempted him to use his supernatural power for his own bodily
needs. He refused to do that and chose to depend on God to sustain him. (1)

In the second temptation, he was tempted to choose the easy way to rule over the whole world
and not go through the way of the Cross. His moral strength prevailed as he recalled Scripture
which says that we are to worship God and serve only Him. (2)

In the third temptation, he was asked to test God’s faithfulness to His Word that He would
preserve him should he fall down. This was a test in the spiritual realm and Jesus overcame the
temptation by quoting from Scripture that we should not put God to the test. (2)

If Jesus had yielded to any one of the temptations, he would have been false to some aspect of
his being the Messiah. (1)
Max 5

(ii) the defence of Peter and the apostles, [4]

(a) Describe the trial of the twelve apostles before the Sanhedrin
(i) the charge of the high priest (Acts 5:27-28)
The apostles were brought before the Sanhedrin Council by the captain and officers of the temple.
The high priest questioned them and said,
“We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, (1)
yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching (1)
and you intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.” (1) Max 2

(ii) the defence of Peter and the apostles (Acts 5:29-32)

Peter and the apostles answered,
“We must obey God rather than men. (1)
The God of our fathers raised Jesus whom you killed (by hanging on a tree). (1)
God exalted him at his right hand, as Leader and Saviour, (1)
to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. (1)
And we are witnesses to these things, (1)
And so is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.” (1) Max 4

(iii)the argument of Gamaliel (Acts 5:33-39)

When the council heard that they were enraged and they wanted to kill the apostles.
Gamaliel,
a Pharisee (of the Council), and a teacher of the law, held in honour by the people (1 mark for any two
points)
stood up and ordered the men to be put outside,
He cautioned the Council to take care what they did with these men. (1)
He cited the example of Theudas who had come before and claimed to be somebody (1)
and a number of men joined him, about four hundred. (1)
When he was slain, all who had followed him were dispersed and came to nothing. (1)
He also reminded them of Judas the Galilean, who arose in the days of the census, (1)
and drew away some of the people after him. (give 1 mark if not given earlier)
When he perished, all who followed him were scattered. (give 1 mark if not given before)
He advised the Council to keep away from the apostles and leave them alone. (1)
If their plan or undertaking was of men, it would fail; /
but if it was of God, they would not be able to overthrow them. (1)
They might be found opposing God. (1)
Max 7

(b) What was the verdict of the council and how did the apostles react to it? (Acts 5:40-41)
The Council heeded Gamaliel’s advice; (they called in the apostles,) (1)
beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus and let them go. (1)
The apostles left the Council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy
to suffer dishonour for the name of Jesus. (1) Max 2

7 (a) Give an account of the ministry of Philip the deacon, showing clearly how he
helped to extend the borders of the church beyond Judea. [13]
(b) Comment on how his Hellenistic background was an advantage in his work. [2]

(a) Give an account of the ministry of Philip the deacon

Elected Deacon (Acts 7:1-6)
When the number of disciples in the early church increased greatly,
and the Hellenistic widows were neglected in the daily distribution, (1)
the apostles asked for seven deacons to be elected to look after this problem. (1)
They stated that the men must be of good repute, full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom. (1)
Philip was among those elected to this ministry.
Max 2
Philip In Samaria (Acts 8:4 -13)
During the persecution against the church after the martyrdom of Stephen, (1)
the disciples were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria except the apostles.
Philip went to a city of Samaria and proclaimed the Christ. (1)
Multitudes believed the message when they heard him (1)
and saw the miracles he performed. /
Unclean spirits came out of many who were possessed; /
the paralyzed and the lame were healed. (1)
There was much joy in the city.
Even Simon the magician who had previously held sway in that city believed (1)
and was baptized together with the multitudes.
These waited for the apostles Peter and John to come and lay hands on them before they
could receive the Holy Spirit. (1) Max 4

Philip and the Eunuch (Acts 8:25-40)

In the midst of all this an angel of the Lord asked Philip to go south to the desert road
that led from Jerusalem to Gaza. (1)
There Philip met with the Ethiopian eunuch, the finance minister of Candace, Queen of the Ethiopians.
(1)
He had gone to worship in Jerusalem and was returning home, in his chariot, reading the prophet Isaiah.
(1)
Philip was able to explain the good news of Jesus to him (1)
based on the passage of the suffering lamb that he was reading.
When they came to some water the eunuch asked to be baptized. (1)
After his baptism Philip was caught up by the Spirit and the eunuch saw him no more.
The eunuch returned home to Ethiopia, rejoicing. (1)
Philip was found at Azotus and preaching the gospel in all the villages he arrived at Caesarea. (1)
Max 4

Philip In Caesarea (Acts 21:8-9)

Philip evidently settled in Caesarea and became known as the evangelist. (1)
He had four unmarried daughters whom he trained to prophesy. (1) Max 1

Philip Extended The Church Beyond The Borders Of Judea

Clearly, in Samaria and with the Ethiopian eunuch and in Caesarea, Philip extended the church
beyond the borders of Judea.
(i) The Samaritans had been at enmity with the Jews and with the laying on of hands by the apostles’
before they received the Holy Spirit, that wall of enmity had broken down and the Samaritans
acknowledged the oneness of the church with the Jews. (1)
(ii) The eunuch had had the advantage of knowing the Jewish scriptures and worshipping God.
And being in a position of great responsibility in Ethiopia he would have influenced many
to believe the gospel in his country. (1)
(iii) In Caesarea was the seat of the Roman government and the palace of King Herod Agrippa.
There would have been a fairly cosmopolitan population there.
Philip’s work as an evangelist would have crossed cultural barriers and extended the church
by means of the gospel being taken to the homelands of the converts. (1) Max 2

(b) Comment on how his Hellenistic background was an advantage in his work.
Philip is a Greek name. His Grecian background meant that Philip was born and bred in foreign parts (1)
and probably spoke Greek. (1)
He was accustomed to cultures and traditions of non-Jews and was comfortable in mixing with Gentiles.
(1)
God chose such a man to reach out to those beyond the borders of Judean society.
Max 2
8 (a) Name Paul’s companions in travel on his voyage to Rome. [2]

Dr. Luke (1)
Aristarchus (the Macedonian) (1)

(b) Relate their experiences on the island of Malta (Acts 28:1-10)

After the shipwreck they landed on Malta.
The natives were unusually kind; (1)
They kindled a fire to welcome them because it had begun to rain and was cold. (1)
As Paul gathered a bundle of sticks to put into the fire, a viper came out and fastened on his hand. (1)
When the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, (1)
they said to one another, “No doubt this man is a murderer. (1)
Though he has escaped from the sea justice has not allowed him to live.” (1)
Paul, however shook off the viper from his hand and was not harmed. (1)
The natives waited to see him swell up and fall down dead. (1)
After a long time, they saw no misfortune come to him; (1)
they changed their minds and said that he is a god. (1) Max 8

The lands in that region belonged to the chief man of the island, named Publius. (1)
He had received Paul and his friends and entertained them hospitably for three days (1)
Publius’ father was sick with fever and dysentery. (1)
Paul visited him and prayed, and putting his hands on him, healed him. (1)
News of this spread and all the people on the island
who had diseases came and were cured. (1)
They presented Paul and his friends with many gifts. (1)
After three months when they found a suitable ship to sail on,
the natives put on board whatever they needed. (1) Max 5
