There were three people sitting in Bible study, Peter, Paul, and John. They had been talking about Zaccheus. All were discusssing how short he must of been because he had to crawl up in a tree to see Jesus.
Peter exclaimed, "He must be the shortest man in the bible." However, Paul said, "Oh no there is no where in scripture that says this." After some debate over the matter, the Bible teacher got up and said, "Why don't we solve this debate." "Each of you are to search your Bibles and come back next week on who is the shortest man in the Bible." All three agreed this was the best way to solve the debate.

The following Bible Sunday all three came back to class with smiles on their faces. So the teacher got up and said, "Did you do your assignment". All three said, "Yes!" So the teacher smiled and asked, "What did you find please get up and tell us." So Paul gets up first and clears his throat and says, " I thought Zaccheus was mighty short but Nehemiah was shorter--- for he only stood knee high!" "Therefore, Nehemiah has ot be the shortest man in the bible!" Then John got up and said, "Oh no, there is one that was even shorter, it was Bildad the Shuhite---for he was only as tall as my shoes!" "He has to be the shortest man in the Bible, no one can be any shorter than that!" Everyone in the room nodded and agreed.... until Peter got up.

"Oh, no you are both wrong....I don't know this guys name but he was mighty short! Do you remember Paul and Silas when they were in prision? The guard was so small he fell asleep on his watch!"
