Answers:

1. Son of Man

This appears 82 times in the New Testament alone: 81 times in the Gospels and once in Acts. The name Son of Man first appears in the Old Testament in Daniel 7:13, as a messianic prophecy: "I saw the night visions, and behold, one like the Son of Man came with the clouds of heaven."

Son of Man is taken to signify the humanity of Jesus, as opposed to Son of God, which refers to His divinity.

2. c. waited

I Peter 3:20 "...God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water..."

3. The devil to Jesus. Matthew 4:8-9 -
"Again the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, 'All these things I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.'"

Satan went to Jesus to tempt him after 40 days in the wilderness. Satan's plan was to try to make Christ sin and so thwart God's plan of man's redemption by disqualifying the Savior. Satan, as "prince of the world" was within his rights to make this offer.

But God proved His Son to be sinless, and a worthy Savior. Notice how Jesus used the words, "It is written.. " and quoted scripture when He answered Satan's temptations. (We can do the same thing!)

4. Exodus 30:12-16
A half shekel each

Exodus 30:12-16
"Then the Lord said to Moses, 'When you take a census of the Israelites to count them, each one must pay the Lord a ransom for his life at the time he is counted… each one ... is to five a half shekel, which weighs twenty gerahs. " Every male twenty years and older was required to pay a ransom on being formally enrolled among God's people. A shekel weighed about 224 grains, or one half ounce.

5. Mary, Jesus' mother; Mary Magdalene; and Mary, wife of Cleophas.

John 19:25 "Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene."
