Viewers express shock that 'Jeopardy!' contestants couldn't solve elementary Bible-knowledge clue about the Lord's Prayer

People reacted with shock after all three contestants on an episode of the long-running "Jeopardy!" quiz show were apparently stumped by an elementary Bible knowledge-related question.

None of the three players rang in to respond when host Mayim Bialik presented a clue that read, "MATTHEW 6:9 SAYS, 'OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN', THIS 'BE THY NAME.'"

After the apparently clueless contestants failed to offer a response, Bialik supplied the answer: "Hallowed be thy name."

People took to social media to express their surprise that none of the contestants knew the correct response.

"Can I admit to being genuinely shocked that not one Jeopardy! contestant recognized The Lord’s Prayer?" someone tweeted.

"How do you not know The Lord's Prayer? #Jeopardy," someone else wrote.

"A clue that's essentially a fill-in-the-blank in the Our Father/Lord's Prayer, and it's a triple stumper," someone tweeted along with an exploding-head emoji.

"Did anyone else notice that ALL THREE Jeopardy contestants tonight, couldn't even fill in the blank, one word, on the opening line of The Lord's Prayer? Kind of fits in today's Biden America. So sad," someone else wrote.

Another person tweeted, "Very weak selection of Jeopardy contestants tonight... none of them knew the Lord's Prayer clue? I'm an agnostic and knew that."

"Did anyone notice that no one knew the words to "The Lord's Prayer"? What a reflection of our society that was. You'd think at least one of them would recognize it," another person wrote.

"Y'all really ain't know the first two lines of the Lord’s Prayer?!? #Jeopardy," someone tweeted.
