An Episcopal priest who is now a three-day champion on “Jeopardy!” is raising eyebrows after being unable to answer two famous clues from the Holy Bible on Wednesday night’s broadcast.
Kevin Laskowski, of Falls Church, Virginia, who is priest-in-charge at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Centreville, Virginia, was among the contestants dealing with the category “Quoting the King James Bible.”
To his credit, Laskowski was able to answer “And the light shineth in” this, which “comprehended it not.”
“What is the darkness?” he correctly responded.
Another clue stated: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green” these.
“What is green pastures?” he answered rightly.
But then came a pair of clues to which the reverend was completely silent.
“Why beholdest thou” this 4-letter thing “that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?”
The correct response to the triple-stumper was “the mote.”
And the final, $1,000 clue also left all three contestants unable to voice anything.
“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils” this phrase.
The correct response is “the breath of life.”
The initial biblical clue stated: “Exodus 20:8 commands, ‘Remember’ this day ‘to keep it holy.’”
It was answered correctly with “the Sabbath;” not by the priest, but by challenger Julia Schan, a stay-at-home mom from Pleasanton, California.
Laskowski was able to answer the alcohol-related Final Jeopardy clue: “Its 15 official state songs include 2 that mention moonshine & 3 played in 3/4 time.”
He correctly responded to win the game: “What is Tennessee?”
Some comments posted online about the priest’s performance include:
“Imagine being an Episcopalian priest and not be able to answer these clues about the Bible. Neither did the other 2 contestants. Fun times.”
“I always chuckle a little when there’s a clergyman on Jeopardy! who doesn’t know bible clues.”
“The Episcopalian priest on Jeopardy only getting two answers correct in the Bible category [bleeping] rules.”
“The priest knew hip hop lyrics yesterday and missed Bible quotes today?? Is he cosplaying us?”
“So the Episcopal priest could barely handle the Bible category? That tracks about right. Catholics and Episcopalians don’t read nor teach the Bible.
“If you wear your clerical collar to be a Jeopardy contestant, you best show up in the ‘Quoting the King James Bible’ category.”
This Episcopalian priest dominated the “it’s also a drink” category, but he grew up Catholic so it checks out. #jeopardy pic.twitter.com/q6rtm7iXPG

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
At Prepper All-Naturals, we believe Americans should be eating real food today and into the future regardless of what the powers-that-be demand of us. We will never use lab-grown beef. We will never allow our cattle to be injected with mRNA vaccines. We will never bow to the draconian diktats of the climate change cult.
Visit Prepper All-Naturals and use promo code “veterans25” to get 25% off plus free shipping on Ribeye, NY Strip, Tenderloin, and other high-quality cuts of beef. It’s cooked sous vide, then freeze dried and packaged with no other ingredients, just beef. Stock up for the long haul today.
