If you’re isolating yourself, and time is already beginning to hang heavy, or if you simply fancy testing your Bible-knowledge skills, here’s just the thing for you. Taken from my book Who Knows?, it’s a little quiz called ‘Who said that?’ All you have to do is decide which of the three people in each case said the words in question. Easy, or what.
