There are names of 16 books of the Bible mentioned in the paragraph below. See how many you can find?

(A preacher found 15 books in 20 minutes, but it took him three weeks to find the 16th one.)

"I once made a remark about the hidden books of the Bible. It was a lulu; kept people looking so hard for facts, and for others, it was a revelation. Some were in a jam, especially since the name of the books Were not capitalized. But the truth finally struck home to numbers of our readers. To others it was a real job. We want it to be a most fascinating few moments for you. Yes, there will be some really easy ones to spot. Others may require judges to help find them. I will quickly admit it usually takes a minister to find one of them, and there will be loud lamentations when it is found. A little lady says she brews a cup of tea so she can concentrate better. See how well you can compete. Relax now, for there really are sixteen names of books of the Bible."

Now copy and paste the paragraph and SHOW each book in LARGE CAPS in the CORRECT sequence, and then list them in order.

Whoever gets the correct answer first, wins.

Update:

Congratulations to "Innocent V" for being the first to post the correct answer AND listing them in order.

Thanks to everyone for participating and I hope everyone had fun.

    kookoo

    jam

    load

    spaz

    wetard

    chicken

    spam

    grass

    honk

    But seriously - you tricked us. On first pass:

    revelation

    numbers

    job

    judges

    lamentations

    But you have things like "she brews a cup" - which has the book "Hebrews" in it, separated by a space. And "remark" has "Mark" in it, and "lulu; kept..." has Luke in it.

    Many more, for sure.

    My wine glass is empty.

    ...back now. This quiz was fun, thanks. I have important things to do, so I can't find the rest of them right now. Pretty cool puzzle though.

    Be honest. How many of you copied and pasted one of the other users answers above and MAYBE even changed a few letters to make your effort look genuine?

    Honestly, I wouldve! But I would rather post this semi-witty response instead!

    BTW, what a great little puzzle!
