No offense, but I don't think these questions are truly New Testament questions (e.g., the term "annunciation" isn't in the NT). These sound more like "church" questions.

Dysert yes those last five questions were probably more church questions.

The Magnificat

The Magnificat (Latin for: [My soul] magnifies) —also known as the Song of Mary, the Canticle of Mary and in Byzantine tradition the Ode of the Theotokos; is a canticle frequently sung (or spoken) liturgically in Christian church services. It is one of the eight most ancient Christian hymns and perhaps the earliest Marian hymn. Its name comes from the first word of the Latin version of the canticle's text.

The text of the canticle is taken directly from the Gospel of Luke Chapter 1 verse 46 where it is spoken by the Virgin Mary upon the occasion of her Visitation to her cousin Elizabeth. In the narrative, after Mary greets Elizabeth, who is pregnant with the future John the Baptist, the child moves within Elizabeth's womb. When Elizabeth praises Mary for her faith, Mary sings what is now known as the Magnificat in response.

Question 36

36/ From which Psalm are these wonderful words taken ?

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
From whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the Lord,
Which made heaven and earth.

 

[dysert]

Dysert thank you for your comment. And you may well be correct.

I am using a very old Bible that was given to me when I left school 50 years ago. It was published by:-

The British and Foreign Bible Society
146 Queen Victoria Street
Printed at the University Press Oxford

This verson of Bible is full of interesting pictures. It also divides the Bible up using headings.

Those last five questions we all about headings in my Bible.

I'm sure you know this, but for anyone who doesn't, it's the words of the Bible that are inspired, not the headings or the notes. Many study Bibles have notes or commentary in them. We must be careful not to ascribe infallibility to these notes as we do the biblical text.
