‘If you wear your clerical collar to be a Jeopardy contestant, you best show up in the ‘Quoting the King James Bible’ category’
By Joe Kovacs
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?”
