‘Danger!’ fans were outraged after contestants failed to answer a “simple” question about the Lord’s Prayer during the competition on Tuesday’s episode.
Players Joe, Laura and Suresh were unable to correctly answer Mayim Bialik’s question about the oft-recited prayer.
Matthew 6:9 says, “Our Father which art in heaven, [THIS] be your name,” Bialik said, asking the group to fill in the blank with the correct word.
Shockingly, the group made a mistake of biblical proportions by not even trying to guess the correct answer, as the stage remained silent until Bialik gave the answer.
So, do you know the word that is missing? Scroll to see if you are smarter than three Jeopardy contestants.
If you guessed “sacred,” you would have been right and would have made $200.
Immediately after Biyalik gave the group the answer, fans on Twitter began to heap their anger and shock at the contestants’ inability to answer the question.
“Today, 3 Jeopardy participants knew the first line of the ‘Lord’s Prayer!’ Sad. Our Father, which art in heaven, ________ be thy name; They didn’t know the answer: “Hallowed.” Pathetic,” one wrote.
‘That is ‘sanctified’, you Gentiles! #Jeopardy,” added another.

“Hey, Jeopardy geniuses… It’s HALLOWED. Sheesh, what a sad world we live in,” shared one Twitter user.
‘OOF. Watching @Jeopardy tonight, and none of the contestants knew the words ‘hallowed be thy name’ in the Lord’s Prayer,’ one user complained.
“You kidding, no one knew that ‘sanctified’ on #Jeopardy lol,” another shared.
‘Screaming Blessed! They did not know the “Lord’s Prayer”. #Jeopardy,” one wrote.
However, another user suggested that perhaps the group didn’t know whether it was “sanctified” or “hollowed out” and so didn’t want to call.
“No one understood this, but I’m sure they all knew, but were concerned about the PRONOUNCEMENT,” one wise Twitter user suggested.
Although versions of the Lord’s Prayer have been adapted by certain denominations, the “sacred” portion has remained the same.

Even worse, after that, the Final Jeopardy Clue was dragged for being “too easy.”
The question ‘He acted in the 2 films whose soundtracks were the 2 best-selling soundtracks of 1978’ was answered correctly by only two of the three players.
The answer was John Travolta and the referenced soundtracks were ‘Grease’ and ‘Saturday Night Fever’.
“The last hazard was a softball and one of them was still wrong. Dear baby Jesus,” wrote one angry Twitter user.
