00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:40.659
And<00:01:36.480><c> Isaiah</c><00:01:36.840><c> had</c><00:01:37.219><c> said,</c><00:01:37.980><c> My</c><00:01:38.200><c> well</c><00:01:38.879><c>-beloved</c><00:01:39.340><c> hath</c><00:01:39.859><c> a</c><00:01:40.140><c> vineyard.</c>

00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:49.900

00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:15.560
And<00:03:11.199><c> yet</c><00:03:11.360><c> we</c><00:03:11.520><c> find</c><00:03:11.780><c> it</c><00:03:12.099><c> difficult</c><00:03:12.560><c> to</c><00:03:13.340><c> really</c><00:03:13.979><c> absorb</c><00:03:14.460><c> that</c><00:03:14.759><c> and</c><00:03:15.080><c> so</c>

00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.139
believe<00:03:15.879><c> it</c><00:03:16.120><c> that</c><00:03:16.240><c> it</c><00:03:16.479><c> motivates</c><00:03:16.840><c> our</c>

00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:18.879
We<00:03:18.219><c> forget</c><00:03:18.580><c> it.</c>

00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.259
And<00:03:19.319><c> sometimes</c><00:03:19.599><c> if</c><00:03:19.759><c> we</c><00:03:19.900><c> don't</c><00:03:20.159><c> forget</c><00:03:20.400><c> it,</c><00:03:20.979><c> we</c><00:03:21.080><c> find</c><00:03:21.259><c> it</c><00:03:21.439><c> almost</c><00:03:21.860><c> too</c>

00:03:22.259 --> 00:03:23.319
much<00:03:22.520><c> to</c><00:03:22.879><c> believe.</c>

00:03:23.620 --> 00:03:27.659
But<00:03:23.759><c> let</c><00:03:23.960><c> someone</c><00:03:24.280><c> criticise</c><00:03:24.900><c> us</c><00:03:25.319><c> and</c><00:03:25.680><c> say</c><00:03:25.860><c> something</c><00:03:26.180><c> adverse,</c><00:03:27.319><c> and</c><00:03:27.520><c> we</c>

00:03:27.659 --> 00:03:29.819
are<00:03:28.240><c> keenly</c><00:03:28.960><c> aware</c><00:03:29.300><c> what</c><00:03:29.520><c> that</c>

00:03:29.819 --> 00:03:30.120

00:03:30.500 --> 00:03:32.860
It's<00:03:30.860><c> an</c><00:03:31.099><c> incredible</c><00:03:31.580><c> quirk</c><00:03:31.979><c> of</c><00:03:32.240><c> human</c><00:03:32.460><c> nature.</c>

00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:35.740
And<00:03:33.539><c> here</c><00:03:33.620><c> was</c><00:03:33.800><c> a</c><00:03:34.060><c> parable</c><00:03:34.280><c> that</c><00:03:34.419><c> was</c><00:03:34.840><c> clearly</c><00:03:35.240><c> directed</c>

00:03:35.740 --> 00:03:37.060

00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:38.759
And<00:03:37.580><c> they</c><00:03:38.000><c> saw</c><00:03:38.340><c> it.</c>

00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:42.460
And<00:03:39.219><c> they</c><00:03:39.539><c> sought</c><00:03:39.879><c> to</c><00:03:40.500><c> lay</c><00:03:40.759><c> hands</c><00:03:41.139><c> on</c><00:03:41.360><c> him,</c><00:03:41.840><c> said</c><00:03:41.919><c> the</c><00:03:42.180><c> record.</c>

00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:44.520
Now<00:03:43.080><c> this</c><00:03:43.139><c> is</c><00:03:43.379><c> interesting,</c><00:03:43.819><c> brothers</c><00:03:44.099><c> and</c><00:03:44.319><c> sisters.</c>

00:03:44.620 --> 00:03:48.199
You<00:03:44.620><c> know,</c><00:03:45.500><c> quite</c><00:03:45.719><c> often</c><00:03:45.979><c> we've</c><00:03:46.219><c> seen</c><00:03:46.419><c> in</c><00:03:46.719><c> our</c><00:03:46.939><c> studies</c><00:03:47.219><c> together,</c><00:03:48.080><c> you</c>

00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:49.819

00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:52.400
That's<00:03:50.460><c> why</c><00:03:50.639><c> I</c><00:03:50.740><c> keep</c><00:03:50.939><c> telling</c><00:03:51.139><c> you</c><00:03:51.340><c> that</c><00:03:51.719><c> little</c><00:03:52.000><c> thing</c><00:03:52.180><c> the</c>

00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:58.219
incredibly<00:03:57.639><c> profitable.</c>

00:03:58.300 --> 00:04:00.759
It's<00:03:58.599><c> wonderful</c><00:03:59.020><c> to</c><00:03:59.180><c> have</c><00:03:59.259><c> that</c><00:03:59.580><c> set</c><00:03:59.759><c> up</c><00:03:59.979><c> before</c><00:04:00.240><c> you</c><00:04:00.460><c> so</c><00:04:00.659><c> you</c>

It<00:18:36.220><c> says,</c><00:18:36.539><c> they</c><00:18:36.539><c> watched</c><00:18:36.900><c> him.</c>

00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:39.759
That's<00:18:38.140><c> what</c><00:18:38.279><c> Isaiah</c><00:18:38.700><c> said,</c><00:18:39.000><c> didn't</c><00:18:39.160><c> he?</c>

00:18:39.859 --> 00:18:40.740
He<00:18:40.119><c> said</c><00:18:40.319><c> that.</c>

and<00:21:12.700><c> the</c><00:21:12.940><c> other</c><00:21:13.119><c> one</c><00:21:13.319><c> would</c><00:21:13.500><c> be</c><00:21:13.700><c> aware</c><00:21:13.859><c> of</c><00:21:14.079><c> the</c><00:21:14.359><c> other</c><00:21:14.680><c> issue.</c>

00:21:15.660 --> 00:21:17.200
Because<00:21:16.140><c> he's</c><00:21:16.420><c> going</c><00:21:16.500><c> to</c><00:21:16.599><c> give</c><00:21:16.720><c> an</c><00:21:16.960><c> answer.</c>

00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:21.720
They<00:21:17.539><c> think</c><00:21:17.960><c> he's</c><00:21:18.559><c> going</c><00:21:18.660><c> to</c><00:21:18.759><c> give</c><00:21:18.880><c> a</c><00:21:19.119><c> yes</c><00:21:19.559><c> or</c><00:21:20.079><c> no</c><00:21:20.619><c> answer.</c>

00:21:21.759 --> 00:21:23.119
That's<00:21:21.960><c> what</c><00:21:22.059><c> they</c><00:21:22.359><c> think.</c>

00:21:23.299 --> 00:21:25.680
So,<00:21:23.539><c> they</c><00:21:23.640><c> got</c><00:21:23.839><c> the</c><00:21:24.119><c> two</c><00:21:24.319><c> groups</c><00:21:24.640><c> of</c><00:21:24.880><c> men.</c>

00:21:25.819 --> 00:21:28.059
Now,<00:21:26.019><c> the</c><00:21:26.240><c> Pharisees</c><00:21:26.640><c> would</c><00:21:26.839><c> have</c><00:21:27.000><c> their</c><00:21:27.279><c> narrow</c><00:21:27.680><c> vision</c>

00:21:28.059 --> 00:21:31.000
waiting<00:21:28.519><c> for</c><00:21:28.920><c> him</c><00:21:29.059><c> to</c><00:21:29.279><c> say</c><00:21:29.660><c> no.</c>

00:21:31.500 --> 00:21:32.880
Rather,<00:21:31.859><c> the</c><00:21:31.960><c> Herodians</c><00:21:32.319><c> would,</c><00:21:32.440><c> I'm</c><00:21:32.660><c> sorry.</c>

00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:36.000
The<00:21:33.299><c> Herodians</c><00:21:33.720><c> would</c><00:21:33.940><c> wait</c><00:21:34.140><c> for</c><00:21:34.279><c> him</c><00:21:34.420><c> to</c><00:21:34.640><c> say</c><00:21:35.299><c> no.</c>

00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:39.799
And<00:21:36.920><c> they'd</c><00:21:37.220><c> be</c><00:21:37.539><c> off</c><00:21:37.920><c> to</c><00:21:38.160><c> Herod</c><00:21:38.359><c> like</c><00:21:38.619><c> a</c><00:21:39.000><c> shot.</c>

00:21:39.980 --> 00:21:41.779
You<00:21:40.160><c> know,</c><00:21:40.279><c> he</c><00:21:40.400><c> won't</c><00:21:40.599><c> pay</c><00:21:40.900><c> tax.</c>

00:21:41.940 --> 00:21:45.640
And<00:21:42.180><c> the</c><00:21:42.440><c> Pharisees</c><00:21:43.039><c> were</c><00:21:43.200><c> waiting</c><00:21:43.480><c> for</c><00:21:43.559><c> him</c><00:21:43.720><c> to</c><00:21:43.940><c> say</c><00:21:44.339><c> yes.</c>

00:21:45.779 --> 00:21:48.799
And<00:21:46.259><c> they'd</c><00:21:46.619><c> be</c><00:21:46.779><c> into</c><00:21:47.079><c> that</c><00:21:47.339><c> temple</c><00:21:47.700><c> all</c><00:21:48.200><c> right</c><00:21:48.440><c> near</c><00:21:48.579><c> the</c>

00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:49.740
holy<00:21:48.980><c> place</c>

00:21:49.740 --> 00:21:53.000
and<00:21:50.140><c> say,</c><00:21:51.160><c> oh,</c><00:21:51.380><c> a</c><00:21:51.660><c> man</c><00:21:51.900><c> is</c><00:21:52.099><c> going</c><00:21:52.240><c> to</c><00:21:52.400><c> sell</c><00:21:52.500><c> us</c><00:21:52.680><c> out</c><00:21:52.779><c> in</c><00:21:52.880><c> the</c><00:21:52.940><c> room.</c>

00:21:53.140 --> 00:21:55.660
He'd<00:21:53.380><c> actually</c><00:21:53.700><c> pay</c><00:21:53.920><c> tax</c><00:21:54.220><c> to</c><00:21:54.480><c> Romans</c><00:21:54.700><c> and</c><00:21:54.900><c> not</c><00:21:55.119><c> to</c><00:21:55.359><c> God.</c>

00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:57.000
What<00:21:56.059><c> a</c><00:21:56.279><c> dreadful</c><00:21:56.640><c> character.</c>

00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:00.799
See,<00:21:58.119><c> the</c><00:21:58.299><c> two</c><00:21:58.500><c> groups</c><00:21:59.200><c> watching</c><00:21:59.920><c> him</c><00:22:00.220><c> narrowly,</c>

00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:04.039
both<00:22:01.559><c> vitally</c><00:22:02.079><c> interested</c><00:22:02.480><c> in</c><00:22:02.660><c> a</c><00:22:02.819><c> yes</c><00:22:03.119><c> or</c><00:22:03.319><c> no</c><00:22:03.680><c> answer.</c>

00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:07.740
And<00:22:04.680><c> they</c><00:22:04.940><c> thought</c><00:22:05.140><c> he</c><00:22:05.359><c> couldn't</c><00:22:05.559><c> go</c><00:22:05.900><c> any</c><00:22:06.400><c> other</c><00:22:06.819><c> way.</c>

00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:10.220
Now,<00:22:08.319><c> they</c><00:22:08.579><c> thought</c><00:22:08.740><c> he'd</c><00:22:09.000><c> say</c><00:22:09.099><c> no.</c>

00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:12.579
Because<00:22:10.539><c> at</c><00:22:10.759><c> the</c><00:22:10.799><c> end</c><00:22:10.960><c> of</c><00:22:11.079><c> verse</c><00:22:11.240><c> 20,</c><00:22:11.559><c> it</c><00:22:11.660><c> says</c>

00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:14.759
that<00:22:13.019><c> they</c><00:22:13.220><c> might</c><00:22:13.420><c> take</c><00:22:13.900><c> hold</c><00:22:14.059><c> of</c><00:22:14.200><c> his</c><00:22:14.420><c> words</c>

00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:16.839
so<00:22:15.059><c> that</c><00:22:15.200><c> might</c><00:22:15.460><c> deliver</c><00:22:15.819><c> him</c><00:22:16.059><c> under</c><00:22:16.259><c> the</c><00:22:16.539><c> power</c>

00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:18.539
and<00:22:17.059><c> the</c><00:22:17.359><c> authority</c><00:22:17.759><c> of</c><00:22:18.099><c> the</c><00:22:18.259><c> governor.</c>

00:22:18.779 --> 00:22:21.140
Now,<00:22:19.059><c> the</c><00:22:19.380><c> opinion</c><00:22:19.779><c> was</c><00:22:20.039><c> he'd</c><00:22:20.240><c> say</c><00:22:20.380><c> no.</c>

00:22:21.339 --> 00:22:24.140
I<00:22:21.579><c> don't</c><00:22:21.900><c> pay</c><00:22:22.539><c> the</c><00:22:23.279><c> tax.</c>

00:22:24.180 --> 00:22:26.599
Now,<00:22:24.420><c> the</c><00:22:24.660><c> tax</c><00:22:24.940><c> in</c><00:22:25.279><c> question,</c><00:22:26.079><c> brethren</c><00:22:26.220><c> and</c><00:22:26.480><c> sisters,</c>

00:22:26.740 --> 00:22:28.839
was<00:22:26.859><c> not</c><00:22:27.259><c> a</c><00:22:27.440><c> normal</c><00:22:27.799><c> tax.</c>

00:22:29.259 --> 00:22:30.619
It<00:22:29.380><c> was</c><00:22:29.660><c> tribute.</c>

00:22:30.779 --> 00:22:32.039
Now,<00:22:30.920><c> that's</c><00:22:31.259><c> different.</c>

00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:35.279
It<00:22:32.460><c> wasn't</c><00:22:33.240><c> revenue</c><00:22:33.740><c> gaining</c><00:22:34.119><c> as</c><00:22:34.420><c> such.</c>

00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:38.640
As<00:22:35.819><c> a</c><00:22:35.920><c> matter</c><00:22:36.079><c> of</c><00:22:36.259><c> fact,</c><00:22:36.740><c> it</c><00:22:36.940><c> was</c><00:22:37.200><c> a</c><00:22:37.200><c> very</c><00:22:37.759><c> small</c><00:22:38.259><c> amount.</c>

00:22:38.900 --> 00:22:40.940
It<00:22:39.099><c> didn't</c><00:22:39.440><c> cause</c><00:22:39.839><c> a</c><00:22:40.119><c> great</c><00:22:40.299><c> deal</c><00:22:40.500><c> of</c><00:22:40.740><c> hardship.</c>

00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:42.660
It<00:22:41.160><c> wasn't</c><00:22:41.400><c> the</c><00:22:41.539><c> only</c><00:22:41.740><c> tax,</c><00:22:42.079><c> by</c><00:22:42.240><c> the</c><00:22:42.400><c> way.</c>

00:22:42.660 --> 00:22:45.859
There<00:22:43.259><c> were</c><00:22:43.380><c> only</c><00:22:43.539><c> a</c><00:22:43.660><c> tax</c><00:22:43.819><c> gatherers</c><00:22:44.579><c> taxing</c><00:22:45.019><c> people</c><00:22:45.240><c> on</c><00:22:45.460><c> incomes.</c>

00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:47.599
But<00:22:46.339><c> this</c><00:22:46.539><c> was</c><00:22:46.799><c> not</c><00:22:47.039><c> like</c><00:22:47.359><c> that.</c>

00:22:47.740 --> 00:22:50.140
It<00:22:47.839><c> was</c><00:22:48.299><c> a</c><00:22:48.680><c> poll</c><00:22:48.980><c> tax,</c><00:22:49.440><c> a</c><00:22:49.539><c> tribute</c><00:22:49.839><c> tax.</c>

00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:54.079
It<00:22:50.440><c> was</c><00:22:50.700><c> just</c><00:22:51.099><c> simply</c><00:22:51.680><c> a</c><00:22:52.599><c> tax</c><00:22:52.839><c> calling</c><00:22:53.180><c> upon</c><00:22:53.559><c> people</c>

00:22:54.079 --> 00:22:56.460
to<00:22:54.559><c> recognize</c><00:22:55.180><c> the</c><00:22:55.480><c> authority</c><00:22:55.940><c> of</c><00:22:56.200><c> Rome.</c>

00:22:56.579 --> 00:22:57.940
That's<00:22:56.859><c> what</c><00:22:56.940><c> it</c><00:22:57.119><c> was.</c>

00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:02.000
You<00:22:58.579><c> see</c><00:22:58.920><c> how</c><00:22:59.720><c> keen</c><00:23:00.059><c> the</c><00:23:00.319><c> Jews</c><00:23:00.539><c> were</c><00:23:00.819><c> about</c><00:23:01.059><c> that.</c>

00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:05.160
It<00:23:02.680><c> wasn't</c><00:23:03.019><c> this</c><00:23:03.299><c> time</c><00:23:03.559><c> for</c><00:23:03.819><c> once</c><00:23:04.000><c> in</c><00:23:04.119><c> their</c><00:23:04.279><c> lifetime</c><00:23:04.680><c> to</c><00:23:04.880><c> a</c><00:23:05.039><c> Jew,</c>

00:23:05.220 --> 00:23:06.180
the<00:23:05.299><c> money</c><00:23:05.500><c> didn't</c><00:23:05.759><c> matter.</c>

00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:08.380
It's<00:23:06.680><c> what</c><00:23:06.859><c> it</c><00:23:07.160><c> stood</c><00:23:07.319><c> for.</c>

00:23:08.559 --> 00:23:10.740
And<00:23:08.720><c> to</c><00:23:08.859><c> them,</c><00:23:09.519><c> it</c><00:23:09.900><c> was</c><00:23:10.099><c> the</c><00:23:10.259><c> denarius</c>

00:23:10.740 --> 00:23:13.319

00:23:14.079 --> 00:23:15.819
It<00:23:14.200><c> was</c><00:23:14.380><c> God's</c><00:23:14.759><c> money.</c>

00:23:16.099 --> 00:23:17.740
Things<00:23:16.319><c> belong</c><00:23:16.619><c> to</c><00:23:16.759><c> God.</c>

00:23:17.900 --> 00:23:19.799
Or<00:23:18.000><c> it</c><00:23:18.039><c> was</c><00:23:18.279><c> Caesar's</c><00:23:18.599><c> money</c><00:23:18.880><c> and</c><00:23:19.059><c> you</c><00:23:19.200><c> belong</c><00:23:19.420><c> to</c><00:23:19.579><c> Caesar</c>

00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:21.380
and<00:23:19.960><c> you</c><00:23:20.039><c> didn't</c><00:23:20.200><c> belong</c><00:23:20.440><c> to</c><00:23:20.619><c> God.</c>

00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:23.220

00:23:23.579 --> 00:23:25.920
But<00:23:23.720><c> the</c><00:23:23.920><c> true</c><00:23:24.220><c> answer</c><00:23:24.480><c> that</c><00:23:24.680><c> came</c><00:23:24.940><c> forth,</c><00:23:25.480><c> brothers</c><00:23:25.519><c> and</c><00:23:25.740><c> sisters,</c>

00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:27.799
and<00:23:26.119><c> they</c><00:23:26.400><c> thought</c><00:23:26.680><c> that</c><00:23:26.940><c> there</c><00:23:27.079><c> was</c><00:23:27.259><c> no</c><00:23:27.539><c> way</c>

00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:28.700
that<00:23:27.940><c> he</c><00:23:28.000><c> could</c><00:23:28.099><c> get</c><00:23:28.220><c> around</c><00:23:28.500><c> this.</c>

00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:31.259
Because<00:23:28.940><c> if</c><00:23:29.099><c> he</c><00:23:29.259><c> said</c><00:23:29.460><c> yes,</c><00:23:30.339><c> well,</c><00:23:30.980><c> okay,</c>

00:23:31.359 --> 00:23:32.460
the<00:23:31.539><c> Romans</c><00:23:31.779><c> would</c><00:23:31.980><c> let</c><00:23:32.079><c> him</c><00:23:32.279><c> off,</c>

00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:34.339
but<00:23:32.859><c> the</c><00:23:33.079><c> Pharisees</c><00:23:33.559><c> would</c><00:23:33.700><c> have</c><00:23:33.859><c> the</c><00:23:34.099><c> people</c>

00:23:34.339 --> 00:23:36.720

00:23:36.940 --> 00:23:37.960
No<00:23:37.099><c> doubt</c><00:23:37.220><c> about</c><00:23:37.460><c> that,</c><00:23:37.759><c> whatever,</c>

00:23:38.140 --> 00:23:39.660
because<00:23:38.400><c> he's</c><00:23:38.599><c> going</c><00:23:38.680><c> to</c><00:23:38.799><c> pay</c><00:23:38.900><c> the</c><00:23:39.119><c> poll</c><00:23:39.339><c> tax.</c>

00:24:01.059 --> 00:24:03.220
A<00:24:01.119><c> man</c><00:24:01.380><c> called</c><00:24:01.700><c> Judas</c><00:24:02.019><c> had</c><00:24:02.599><c> risen</c><00:24:02.799><c> up</c><00:24:03.019><c> and</c><00:24:03.119><c> said,</c>

00:24:03.259 --> 00:24:05.059

00:24:10.180 --> 00:24:11.079
I'm<00:24:10.579><c> a</c><00:24:10.740><c> patriot.</c>

00:24:11.259 --> 00:24:12.099
He<00:24:11.400><c> died</c><00:24:11.680><c> for</c><00:24:11.880><c> that.</c>

00:24:12.200 --> 00:24:15.359
And<00:24:12.339><c> they</c><00:24:12.500><c> thought</c><00:24:12.720><c> he'll</c><00:24:13.160><c> go</c><00:24:13.339><c> the</c><00:24:13.500><c> way</c><00:24:13.839><c> of</c><00:24:14.420><c> Judas</c><00:24:14.680><c> of</c><00:24:14.900><c> Galilee.</c>

00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:16.200
We<00:24:15.660><c> got</c><00:24:15.839><c> him.</c>

00:24:16.599 --> 00:24:18.079
So<00:24:16.740><c> they</c><00:24:16.900><c> come</c><00:24:17.079><c> to</c><00:24:17.200><c> him,</c><00:24:17.339><c> brothers</c><00:24:17.559><c> and</c><00:24:17.819><c> sisters.</c>

00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:21.019
Now,<00:24:18.660><c> how</c><00:24:18.920><c> do</c><00:24:19.059><c> you</c><00:24:19.180><c> entangle</c><00:24:19.559><c> people</c><00:24:19.819><c> in</c><00:24:19.980><c> their</c><00:24:20.220><c> talk?</c>

00:24:21.180 --> 00:24:22.500
You<00:24:21.519><c> flatter</c><00:24:21.759><c> them.</c>

00:24:23.140 --> 00:24:25.079
Now,<00:24:23.440><c> we're</c><00:24:23.640><c> all</c><00:24:23.799><c> subject</c><00:24:24.099><c> to</c><00:24:24.339><c> flattery.</c>

00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:26.299
Some<00:24:25.740><c> people</c><00:24:25.940><c> are</c><00:24:26.119><c> not.</c>

00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:29.460
I<00:24:26.700><c> admire</c><00:24:27.000><c> them</c><00:24:27.180><c> really</c><00:24:27.440><c> because</c><00:24:27.720><c> I</c><00:24:28.140><c> don't</c><00:24:28.339><c> find</c><00:24:28.519><c> that</c><00:24:28.680><c> easy.</c>

00:24:29.819 --> 00:24:32.319
I<00:24:30.039><c> find</c><00:24:30.299><c> that</c><00:24:30.900><c> if</c><00:24:31.400><c> people</c><00:24:31.579><c> are</c><00:24:31.779><c> nice</c><00:24:31.980><c> to</c><00:24:32.160><c> me,</c>

00:24:32.539 --> 00:24:34.839
I<00:24:33.180><c> instinctively</c><00:24:33.920><c> want</c><00:24:34.099><c> to</c><00:24:34.200><c> be</c><00:24:34.319><c> nice</c><00:24:34.559><c> to</c><00:24:34.720><c> them.</c>

00:24:34.859 --> 00:24:38.319
And<00:24:35.019><c> I</c><00:24:35.299><c> feel</c><00:24:36.339><c> sort</c><00:24:36.819><c> of</c><00:24:37.279><c> free</c><00:24:37.500><c> and</c><00:24:37.660><c> easy</c><00:24:37.839><c> with</c><00:24:38.039><c> people.</c>

00:24:38.319 --> 00:24:39.940
I<00:24:38.500><c> think,</c><00:24:38.700><c> oh,</c><00:24:39.019><c> you</c><00:24:39.099><c> know,</c><00:24:39.299><c> they're</c><00:24:39.619><c> lovely.</c>

00:24:39.980 --> 00:24:40.880
They<00:24:40.160><c> think</c><00:24:40.319><c> I'm</c><00:24:40.640><c> lovely.</c>

00:24:40.940 --> 00:24:42.019
They're<00:24:41.180><c> lovely.</c>

00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:43.279
You're<00:24:42.839><c> fickle</c><00:24:42.980><c> like</c><00:24:43.180><c> that.</c>

00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:44.980
We're<00:24:43.500><c> all</c><00:24:43.680><c> fickle</c><00:24:43.940><c> like</c><00:24:44.220><c> that.</c>

00:24:45.460 --> 00:24:49.019
Beware<00:24:45.880><c> of</c><00:24:46.079><c> flatterers</c><00:24:46.960><c> because</c><00:24:47.680><c> sometimes</c><00:24:48.099><c> there's</c><00:24:48.440><c> a</c><00:24:48.660><c> barb</c>

00:24:49.019 --> 00:24:50.019
behind<00:24:49.259><c> that.</c>

00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:53.380
Master,<00:24:50.839><c> we</c><00:24:51.240><c> know,</c><00:24:52.700><c> they</c><00:24:53.099><c> said,</c>

00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:56.279
that<00:24:53.779><c> they'll</c><00:24:54.099><c> say</c><00:24:54.259><c> us</c><00:24:54.420><c> and</c><00:24:54.680><c> teach</c><00:24:54.940><c> us</c><00:24:55.259><c> rightly.</c>

00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:58.160
And<00:24:56.599><c> you</c><00:24:56.759><c> don't</c><00:24:57.000><c> care</c><00:24:57.299><c> for</c><00:24:57.519><c> people.</c>

00:24:58.619 --> 00:25:00.880
Lord,<00:24:59.059><c> you're</c><00:24:59.420><c> a</c><00:24:59.720><c> straight</c><00:24:59.920><c> man.</c>

00:25:01.119 --> 00:25:03.559
You're<00:25:01.400><c> for</c><00:25:01.579><c> God</c><00:25:01.859><c> and</c><00:25:02.019><c> never</c><00:25:02.220><c> mind</c><00:25:02.359><c> about</c><00:25:02.619><c> flesh.</c>

00:25:03.779 --> 00:25:06.339
You<00:25:04.019><c> teach</c><00:25:04.299><c> the</c><00:25:04.440><c> way</c><00:25:04.599><c> of</c><00:25:04.720><c> God</c><00:25:04.900><c> truly</c><00:25:05.220><c> without</c><00:25:05.519><c> fear</c><00:25:05.880><c> or</c><00:25:06.119><c> favor.</c>

00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:07.880
Lord,<00:25:06.680><c> we</c><00:25:06.960><c> know</c><00:25:07.240><c> you</c><00:25:07.559><c> will.</c>

00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:09.619
The<00:25:08.680><c> Lord</c><00:25:08.880><c> was</c><00:25:09.019><c> supposed</c><00:25:09.359><c> to</c><00:25:09.440><c> say,</c>

00:25:09.680 --> 00:25:10.700
oh,<00:25:10.019><c> yes,</c><00:25:10.259><c> isn't</c><00:25:10.400><c> that</c><00:25:10.579><c> lovely?</c>

00:25:10.740 --> 00:25:11.279
I<00:25:10.920><c> am</c><00:25:11.079><c> like</c><00:25:11.160><c> that.</c>

00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:12.380
You<00:25:11.420><c> know,</c><00:25:11.539><c> I</c><00:25:11.579><c> really</c><00:25:11.839><c> am</c><00:25:12.000><c> like</c><00:25:12.180><c> that.</c>

00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:12.859
Yes.

00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:13.700
Glad<00:25:13.240><c> you</c><00:25:13.420><c> recognize.</c>

00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:15.019
But<00:25:14.099><c> he</c><00:25:14.200><c> didn't.</c>

00:25:15.420 --> 00:25:17.799
He<00:25:15.660><c> would</c><00:25:15.859><c> be</c><00:25:16.079><c> as</c><00:25:16.400><c> sharp</c><00:25:16.640><c> as</c><00:25:16.859><c> a</c><00:25:17.039><c> razor.</c>

00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:21.640
He'd<00:25:18.500><c> know</c><00:25:18.579><c> what</c><00:25:18.740><c> the</c><00:25:19.039><c> Proverbs</c><00:25:19.279><c> said</c><00:25:19.500><c> about</c><00:25:19.720><c> that</c><00:25:19.960><c> sort</c><00:25:20.099><c> of</c><00:25:20.559><c> a</c><00:25:20.799><c> flatterer.</c>

00:25:21.859 --> 00:25:23.000
That<00:25:22.059><c> butter</c><00:25:22.200><c> would</c><00:25:22.420><c> melt</c><00:25:22.619><c> their</c><00:25:22.839><c> mouth.</c>

00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:24.160

And<00:27:44.259><c> then</c><00:27:44.400><c> he</c><00:27:44.420><c> would</c><00:27:44.579><c> have</c><00:27:44.759><c> thought,</c><00:27:45.220><c> brothers</c><00:27:45.259><c> and</c><00:27:45.559><c> sisters,</c>

00:27:45.940 --> 00:27:49.339
of<00:27:46.119><c> the</c><00:27:46.400><c> motivation</c><00:27:46.960><c> that</c><00:27:47.420><c> brought</c><00:27:47.559><c> that</c><00:27:47.900><c> question</c><00:27:48.240><c> forth.</c>

00:27:49.539 --> 00:27:52.380
And<00:27:49.759><c> he</c><00:27:49.859><c> would</c><00:27:50.039><c> have</c><00:27:50.039><c> thought</c><00:27:50.279><c> of</c><00:27:50.519><c> how</c><00:27:50.859><c> depraved</c><00:27:51.700><c> and</c><00:27:52.119><c> wicked</c>

00:27:52.380 --> 00:27:53.599
they<00:27:52.740><c> were.</c>

00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:56.119
And<00:27:54.119><c> then</c><00:27:54.259><c> his</c><00:27:54.440><c> eyes</c><00:27:54.720><c> would</c><00:27:54.940><c> rove</c><00:27:55.200><c> over</c><00:27:55.440><c> the</c><00:27:55.680><c> Herodians</c>

00:27:56.119 --> 00:27:58.180
and<00:27:56.259><c> he'd</c><00:27:56.480><c> drink</c><00:27:56.640><c> in</c><00:27:56.779><c> the</c><00:27:56.920><c> Herodians.</c>

00:27:58.359 --> 00:28:00.380
And<00:27:58.579><c> he'd</c><00:27:58.680><c> look</c><00:27:58.819><c> at</c><00:27:58.940><c> the</c><00:27:59.000><c> little</c><00:27:59.279><c> Pharisee</c><00:27:59.819><c> group</c>

00:28:00.380 --> 00:28:02.819
and<00:28:00.579><c> he'd</c><00:28:00.960><c> know</c><00:28:01.240><c> that</c><00:28:01.359><c> they</c><00:28:01.579><c> couldn't</c><00:28:01.859><c> agree</c><00:28:02.200><c> on</c><00:28:02.400><c> anything.</c>

00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:06.940
And<00:28:03.279><c> he'd</c><00:28:03.579><c> know</c><00:28:03.779><c> that</c><00:28:03.900><c> there</c><00:28:04.039><c> was</c><00:28:04.440><c> sheer</c><00:28:05.039><c> and</c><00:28:05.559><c> utter</c><00:28:06.000><c> hypocrisy.</c>

00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:10.039
Now<00:28:07.579><c> isn't</c><00:28:07.859><c> that</c><00:28:08.200><c> fantastic,</c><00:28:08.960><c> the</c><00:28:09.059><c> way</c><00:28:09.259><c> those</c><00:28:09.539><c> records</c><00:28:09.819><c> put</c>

00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:11.299
that<00:28:10.299><c> together?</c>

00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:13.680
So<00:28:11.880><c> that</c><00:28:12.039><c> Jesus</c><00:28:12.339><c> took</c><00:28:12.539><c> it</c><00:28:12.779><c> all</c><00:28:13.039><c> in.</c>

00:28:13.859 --> 00:28:16.559
He<00:28:14.339><c> saw</c><00:28:14.720><c> there</c><00:28:14.900><c> was</c><00:28:15.079><c> an</c><00:28:15.220><c> attempt</c><00:28:15.460><c> at</c><00:28:15.759><c> cleverness,</c>

00:28:17.240 --> 00:28:19.220
the<00:28:17.420><c> motivation</c><00:28:17.960><c> was</c><00:28:18.299><c> wicked,</c>

00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:22.339
and<00:28:19.839><c> it</c><00:28:19.980><c> was</c><00:28:20.319><c> shot</c><00:28:20.579><c> through</c><00:28:20.960><c> with</c><00:28:21.220><c> hypocrisy.</c>

00:28:22.619 --> 00:28:24.259
Now<00:28:22.799><c> what</c><00:28:22.900><c> would</c><00:28:23.019><c> you</c><00:28:23.279><c> think?</c>

00:28:24.500 --> 00:28:27.619
What<00:28:24.660><c> would</c><00:28:24.859><c> you</c><00:28:25.099><c> think</c><00:28:25.480><c> if</c><00:28:26.460><c> there</c><00:28:26.700><c> was</c><00:28:26.900><c> trouble</c><00:28:27.160><c> in</c><00:28:27.319><c> the</c><00:28:27.460><c> meeting?</c>

00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:29.059
And<00:28:27.819><c> we</c><00:28:27.900><c> don't</c><00:28:28.039><c> want</c><00:28:28.160><c> to</c><00:28:28.279><c> see</c><00:28:28.400><c> this</c><00:28:28.599><c> in</c><00:28:28.740><c> the</c><00:28:28.880><c> collegiate.</c>

00:28:29.059 --> 00:28:29.759
It<00:28:29.220><c> does</c><00:28:29.400><c> happen.</c>

00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:30.680
It<00:28:30.039><c> has</c><00:28:30.259><c> happened.</c>

00:28:31.140 --> 00:28:33.980
But<00:28:31.299><c> what</c><00:28:31.420><c> would</c><00:28:31.460><c> you</c><00:28:31.700><c> think</c><00:28:32.220><c> if</c><00:28:32.619><c> there</c><00:28:32.779><c> was</c><00:28:32.980><c> trouble</c><00:28:33.279><c> in</c><00:28:33.460><c> the</c><00:28:33.640><c> Ecclesia</c>

00:28:33.980 --> 00:28:37.799
and<00:28:34.200><c> you</c><00:28:34.640><c> were</c><00:28:35.140><c> being</c><00:28:35.400><c> picked</c><00:28:35.700><c> on</c><00:28:36.000><c> and</c><00:28:36.359><c> being</c><00:28:36.539><c> made</c><00:28:36.740><c> an</c><00:28:36.960><c> offender</c><00:28:37.200><c> for</c><00:28:37.420><c> a</c><00:28:37.579><c> word</c>

00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:40.680

00:28:40.680 --> 00:28:43.420
that<00:28:41.000><c> you</c><00:28:41.279><c> knew</c><00:28:41.680><c> couldn't</c><00:28:42.059><c> stand</c><00:28:42.359><c> the</c><00:28:42.660><c> side</c><00:28:42.819><c> of</c><00:28:42.960><c> each</c><00:28:43.180><c> other</c>

00:28:43.420 --> 00:28:45.059
and<00:28:43.839><c> they're</c><00:28:43.960><c> suddenly</c><00:28:44.339><c> shaking</c><00:28:44.700><c> hands,</c>

00:28:45.180 --> 00:28:46.480

00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:49.180
What<00:28:48.500><c> would</c><00:28:48.720><c> you</c><00:28:48.980><c> think?</c>

00:28:49.299 --> 00:28:52.940
You'd<00:28:49.579><c> think,</c><00:28:49.900><c> hey,</c><00:28:51.359><c> what's</c><00:28:51.700><c> going</c><00:28:51.880><c> on</c><00:28:52.079><c> here?</c>

00:28:53.119 --> 00:28:54.019
And<00:28:53.279><c> that's</c><00:28:53.400><c> what</c><00:28:53.519><c> he</c><00:28:53.740><c> thought.</c>

00:28:54.359 --> 00:28:55.980

00:28:56.059 --> 00:28:58.240
It<00:28:56.319><c> was</c><00:28:56.480><c> just</c><00:28:56.720><c> incredible</c><00:28:57.160><c> the</c><00:28:57.299><c> way</c><00:28:57.460><c> those</c><00:28:57.759><c> three</c><00:28:57.960><c> records</c>

00:29:00.339 --> 00:29:04.900
Their<00:29:00.859><c> wickedness,</c><00:29:01.819><c> their</c><00:29:02.019><c> craftiness,</c><00:29:03.400><c> and</c><00:29:03.579><c> their</c><00:29:03.799><c> hypocrisy.</c>

00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:06.920
And<00:29:05.500><c> so</c><00:29:05.640><c> Jesus</c><00:29:05.960><c> doesn't</c><00:29:06.220><c> beat</c><00:29:06.420><c> around</c><00:29:06.640><c> the</c><00:29:06.799><c> bush.</c>

You<00:29:48.220><c> don't</c><00:29:48.400><c> think</c><00:29:48.579><c> that</c><00:29:48.680><c> at</c><00:29:48.759><c> all.</c>

00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:50.779
You've<00:29:49.160><c> come</c><00:29:49.339><c> here</c><00:29:49.480><c> to</c><00:29:49.599><c> tempt</c><00:29:49.779><c> me.</c>

00:29:50.900 --> 00:29:56.400
So<00:29:51.099><c> he</c><00:29:51.539><c> just</c><00:29:51.619><c> absolutely</c><00:29:52.859><c> tears</c><00:29:53.720><c> down</c><00:29:54.180><c> the</c><00:29:54.359><c> veneer</c><00:29:54.759><c> of</c><00:29:54.960><c> their</c><00:29:55.299><c> respectability.</c>

00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:01.519
And<00:29:56.819><c> then</c><00:29:57.000><c> he</c><00:29:57.079><c> says,</c><00:30:00.319><c> have</c><00:30:00.339><c> you</c><00:30:00.460><c> got</c><00:30:00.619><c> a</c><00:30:00.779><c> penny?</c>

00:30:01.940 --> 00:30:03.299
You<00:30:02.059><c> know</c><00:30:02.160><c> what</c><00:30:02.220><c> that</c><00:30:02.420><c> means?</c>

00:30:03.500 --> 00:30:04.980
He<00:30:03.640><c> didn't</c><00:30:03.880><c> have</c><00:30:04.119><c> one.</c>

00:30:05.180 --> 00:30:06.539
You<00:30:05.319><c> know</c><00:30:05.460><c> what</c><00:30:05.480><c> that</c><00:30:05.700><c> means?</c>

00:30:07.460 --> 00:30:09.420
He<00:30:07.579><c> didn't</c><00:30:07.819><c> have</c><00:30:08.019><c> to</c><00:30:08.180><c> pay</c><00:30:08.279><c> the</c><00:30:08.500><c> tax</c><00:30:08.700><c> because</c><00:30:08.859><c> he</c><00:30:08.980><c> didn't</c><00:30:09.220><c> have</c>

00:30:09.420 --> 00:30:10.559
any<00:30:09.599><c> money.</c>

00:30:10.660 --> 00:30:12.000
You<00:30:10.779><c> know</c><00:30:10.900><c> what</c><00:30:10.920><c> that</c><00:30:11.099><c> means?</c>

00:30:12.460 --> 00:30:15.559
He<00:30:12.640><c> could</c><00:30:12.880><c> have</c><00:30:13.079><c> evaded</c><00:30:13.460><c> the</c><00:30:13.700><c> question</c><00:30:14.000><c> by</c><00:30:14.299><c> saying</c><00:30:14.599><c> that.</c>

00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:16.279
I<00:30:15.900><c> don't</c><00:30:16.079><c> know.</c>

00:30:16.359 --> 00:30:17.420
It's<00:30:16.500><c> got</c><00:30:16.619><c> nothing</c><00:30:16.740><c> to</c><00:30:16.920><c> do</c><00:30:16.940><c> with</c><00:30:17.140><c> me.</c>

00:30:17.619 --> 00:30:19.299
I<00:30:17.819><c> haven't</c><00:30:18.019><c> got</c><00:30:18.200><c> any</c><00:30:18.359><c> money.</c>

00:30:19.460 --> 00:30:20.559
But<00:30:19.700><c> he</c><00:30:19.859><c> didn't.</c>

00:30:21.039 --> 00:30:23.119
You<00:30:21.119><c> know,</c><00:30:21.460><c> brothers</c><00:30:21.640><c> and</c><00:30:21.799><c> sisters,</c><00:30:22.059><c> the</c><00:30:22.220><c> remarkable</c><00:30:22.599><c> thing</c><00:30:22.900><c> about,</c>

00:30:23.339 --> 00:30:25.079

00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:27.099
Positively<00:30:25.660><c> and</c><00:30:25.819><c> negatively,</c><00:30:26.140><c> don't</c><00:30:26.359><c> you?</c>

00:30:27.380 --> 00:30:29.039
Difficult<00:30:27.859><c> situation</c><00:30:28.339><c> comes</c><00:30:28.819><c> up.</c>

00:30:29.059 --> 00:30:30.559
You've<00:30:29.259><c> got</c><00:30:29.259><c> to</c><00:30:29.400><c> confront</c><00:30:29.759><c> it.</c>

00:30:30.900 --> 00:30:32.740
It's<00:30:31.099><c> an</c><00:30:31.259><c> awkward</c><00:30:31.480><c> situation.</c>

00:30:33.180 --> 00:30:35.380
But<00:30:33.299><c> if</c><00:30:33.420><c> you</c><00:30:33.500><c> can</c><00:30:33.680><c> find</c><00:30:33.880><c> some</c><00:30:34.160><c> way</c><00:30:34.380><c> where</c><00:30:34.559><c> you</c><00:30:34.700><c> say,</c><00:30:35.099><c> well,</c>

00:30:35.380 --> 00:30:39.099
oh,<00:30:35.539><c> hang</c><00:30:35.680><c> on,</c><00:30:36.740><c> I</c><00:30:37.039><c> really</c><00:30:37.279><c> wasn't</c><00:30:37.539><c> there</c><00:30:37.900><c> or</c><00:30:38.240><c> I</c><00:30:38.680><c> didn't</c><00:30:38.880><c> hear</c>

00:30:39.099 --> 00:30:39.519
about<00:30:39.400><c> that</c>

00:30:39.519 --> 00:30:42.759
or<00:30:39.660><c> I</c><00:30:39.799><c> don't</c><00:30:40.059><c> know</c><00:30:40.519><c> or</c><00:30:41.140><c> it's</c><00:30:41.319><c> got</c><00:30:41.539><c> nothing</c><00:30:41.759><c> really</c><00:30:41.940><c> to</c><00:30:42.180><c> do</c><00:30:42.259><c> with</c><00:30:42.519><c> me</c>

00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:44.240
when<00:30:42.900><c> it</c><00:30:43.039><c> really</c><00:30:43.299><c> has.</c>

00:30:44.400 --> 00:30:47.359
And<00:30:44.579><c> you</c><00:30:44.660><c> can</c><00:30:44.839><c> sort</c><00:30:44.920><c> of</c><00:30:45.059><c> just</c><00:30:45.519><c> neatly</c><00:30:45.960><c> sidestep</c><00:30:46.640><c> the</c><00:30:46.880><c> issue,</c>

00:30:47.799 --> 00:30:50.359
let<00:30:47.900><c> others</c><00:30:48.140><c> make</c><00:30:48.380><c> the</c><00:30:48.579><c> decision</c><00:30:49.079><c> and</c><00:30:49.500><c> whatever</c><00:30:49.740><c> it</c><00:30:49.960><c> might</c><00:30:50.079><c> be,</c>

00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:51.400
go<00:30:50.640><c> along</c><00:30:50.900><c> with</c><00:30:51.099><c> it.</c>

00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:54.119
And<00:30:51.740><c> by</c><00:30:51.859><c> that</c><00:30:52.039><c> way,</c><00:30:52.339><c> you've</c><00:30:52.799><c> dodged</c><00:30:53.079><c> the</c><00:30:53.339><c> issue.</c>

00:30:54.180 --> 00:30:58.500
He<00:30:54.460><c> never</c><00:30:54.940><c> had</c><00:30:55.400><c> a</c><00:30:55.619><c> penny,</c><00:30:56.740><c> but</c><00:30:56.880><c> he</c><00:30:56.960><c> didn't</c><00:30:57.220><c> dodge</c><00:30:57.440><c> the</c><00:30:57.700><c> issue.</c>

00:30:58.660 --> 00:31:00.220
He<00:30:58.660><c> says,</c><00:30:59.119><c> show</c><00:30:59.299><c> me</c><00:30:59.500><c> one.</c>

00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:02.000
Now,<00:31:00.799><c> isn't</c><00:31:00.940><c> that</c><00:31:01.119><c> interesting?</c>

00:31:02.180 --> 00:31:04.960
Now,<00:31:02.400><c> the</c><00:31:02.660><c> denarius,</c><00:31:03.119><c> of</c><00:31:03.319><c> course,</c><00:31:03.519><c> was</c><00:31:03.680><c> the</c><00:31:03.819><c> Roman</c><00:31:04.099><c> coin.</c>

00:31:05.420 --> 00:31:07.839

00:31:12.920 --> 00:31:15.119
Bring<00:31:13.099><c> me</c><00:31:13.319><c> a</c><00:31:13.460><c> penny</c><00:31:13.599><c> that</c><00:31:13.779><c> I</c><00:31:13.920><c> may</c><00:31:14.160><c> see</c><00:31:14.400><c> it.</c>

00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:17.119
And<00:31:15.519><c> they</c><00:31:15.920><c> brought</c><00:31:16.220><c> it.</c>

00:31:17.180 --> 00:31:19.200
Didn't<00:31:17.339><c> say</c><00:31:17.440><c> they</c><00:31:17.700><c> gave</c><00:31:17.940><c> it</c><00:31:18.200><c> to</c><00:31:18.299><c> him.</c>

00:31:19.339 --> 00:31:22.200
And<00:31:19.720><c> they</c><00:31:19.940><c> probably</c><00:31:20.240><c> didn't</c><00:31:20.500><c> have</c><00:31:20.740><c> a</c><00:31:20.960><c> Roman</c><00:31:21.200><c> denarius</c><00:31:21.700><c> themselves.</c>

They'd<00:31:30.779><c> have</c><00:31:30.839><c> probably</c><00:31:31.079><c> gone</c><00:31:31.200><c> and</c><00:31:31.279><c> got</c><00:31:31.339><c> that</c><00:31:31.460><c> off</c><00:31:31.579><c> a</c><00:31:31.819><c> soldier</c>

00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:36.119
There<00:31:35.119><c> would</c><00:31:35.259><c> be</c><00:31:35.400><c> plenty</c><00:31:35.619><c> of</c><00:31:35.680><c> them</c><00:31:35.880><c> around,</c>

00:31:36.140 --> 00:31:37.619
but<00:31:36.240><c> they</c><00:31:36.400><c> had</c><00:31:36.480><c> to</c><00:31:36.579><c> go</c><00:31:36.759><c> and</c><00:31:36.859><c> get</c><00:31:37.019><c> it.</c>

00:34:15.579 --> 00:34:17.960
he's<00:34:15.739><c> the</c><00:34:15.900><c> one</c><00:34:16.119><c> that</c><00:34:16.460><c> super</c><00:34:17.039><c> intends</c><00:34:17.320><c> their</c><00:34:17.579><c> affairs,</c>

00:34:20.719 --> 00:34:22.519
for<00:34:20.940><c> our</c><00:34:21.219><c> good</c><00:34:21.340><c> if</c><00:34:21.699><c> we</c><00:34:21.900><c> obey</c><00:34:22.199><c> them,</c>

00:34:22.820 --> 00:34:25.380
and<00:34:23.039><c> therefore</c><00:34:23.360><c> we</c><00:34:23.599><c> do</c><00:34:23.760><c> it</c><00:34:23.940><c> because</c><00:34:24.179><c> we</c><00:34:24.360><c> want</c><00:34:24.579><c> to</c><00:34:24.699><c> render</c><00:34:24.900><c> to</c><00:34:25.159><c> God</c>

00:34:25.380 --> 00:34:27.940
the<00:34:25.679><c> things</c><00:34:25.840><c> that</c><00:34:26.019><c> are</c><00:34:26.239><c> God's,</c><00:34:27.320><c> said</c><00:34:27.380><c> the</c><00:34:27.599><c> apostle.</c>

00:34:28.179 --> 00:34:29.559

00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:31.460
Therefore<00:34:30.000><c> he</c><00:34:30.179><c> says</c><00:34:30.380><c> in</c><00:34:30.539><c> verse</c><00:34:31.000><c> 6,</c>

00:34:31.579 --> 00:34:33.940
For<00:34:31.699><c> this</c><00:34:32.000><c> cause</c><00:34:32.260><c> pay</c><00:34:32.579><c> tribute</c><00:34:32.920><c> also,</c>

00:34:34.179 --> 00:34:36.440
for<00:34:34.380><c> they</c><00:34:34.599><c> are</c><00:34:34.760><c> God's</c><00:34:35.400><c> ministers,</c>

00:34:36.539 --> 00:34:38.960
attending<00:34:36.880><c> continually</c><00:34:37.599><c> upon</c><00:34:37.900><c> this</c><00:34:38.179><c> very</c><00:34:38.519><c> thing.</c>

00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:41.019
Render<00:34:39.599><c> therefore</c><00:34:40.039><c> to</c><00:34:40.239><c> all</c><00:34:40.500><c> their</c><00:34:40.739><c> dues,</c>

00:34:41.300 --> 00:34:42.619
tribute<00:34:41.500><c> to</c><00:34:41.679><c> whom,</c><00:34:42.159><c> tribute</c><00:34:42.159><c> is</c><00:34:42.460><c> due,</c>

00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:43.960
cost<00:34:43.119><c> to</c><00:34:43.320><c> whom</c><00:34:43.440><c> to</c><00:34:43.659><c> custom,</c>

00:34:44.300 --> 00:34:46.659
fear<00:34:44.519><c> to</c><00:34:44.699><c> whom</c><00:34:44.840><c> fear,</c><00:34:45.239><c> honor</c><00:34:45.460><c> to</c><00:34:45.679><c> whom</c><00:34:45.860><c> honor.</c>

00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:50.679
So<00:34:47.059><c> paying</c><00:34:47.480><c> taxes</c><00:34:47.960><c> is</c><00:34:48.340><c> not</c><00:34:48.719><c> incompatible</c><00:34:49.599><c> with</c><00:34:50.099><c> performing</c>

00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:51.599
the<00:34:51.079><c> will</c><00:34:51.199><c> of</c><00:34:51.420><c> God.</c>

00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:53.699
As<00:34:51.920><c> a</c><00:34:52.039><c> matter</c><00:34:52.179><c> of</c><00:34:52.280><c> fact,</c><00:34:52.360><c> it</c><00:34:52.559><c> fulfills</c><00:34:53.099><c> the</c><00:34:53.260><c> will</c><00:34:53.340><c> of</c><00:34:53.539><c> God.</c>

00:34:53.980 --> 00:34:56.079
Now<00:34:54.119><c> take</c><00:34:54.300><c> another</c><00:34:54.579><c> case</c><00:34:54.880><c> in</c><00:34:55.139><c> point,</c><00:34:55.500><c> brothers</c><00:34:55.599><c> and</c><00:34:55.860><c> sisters.</c>

00:34:56.320 --> 00:34:58.199
Let's<00:34:56.559><c> turn</c><00:34:56.780><c> to</c><00:34:56.960><c> Jeremiah</c><00:34:57.380><c> chapter</c><00:34:57.739><c> 29.</c>

00:34:58.260 --> 00:34:59.519
Let's<00:34:58.400><c> go</c><00:34:58.539><c> back</c><00:34:58.639><c> to</c><00:34:58.760><c> the</c><00:34:58.880><c> Old</c><00:34:59.099><c> Testament.</c>

00:35:00.019 --> 00:35:04.360
Jeremiah<00:35:00.480><c> suffered</c><00:35:00.940><c> because</c><00:35:01.739><c> the</c><00:35:02.079><c> Jews</c><00:35:02.239><c> said</c><00:35:02.480><c> he</c><00:35:02.599><c> was</c><00:35:02.960><c> unpatriotic.</c>

00:35:04.619 --> 00:35:07.320

00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:11.699
Well,<00:35:09.019><c> here's</c><00:35:09.280><c> the</c><00:35:09.440><c> message</c><00:35:09.679><c> of</c><00:35:09.880><c> God</c><00:35:10.099><c> to</c><00:35:10.260><c> the</c><00:35:10.460><c> people</c><00:35:10.659><c> in</c><00:35:10.900><c> Jeremiah's</c><00:35:11.579><c> day,</c>

00:35:46.199 --> 00:35:48.780
He's<00:35:46.559><c> saying</c><00:35:46.639><c> among</c><00:35:46.960><c> themselves</c><00:35:47.679><c> in</c><00:35:48.340><c> Babylon,</c>

Go<00:35:52.599><c> ahead,</c><00:35:53.159><c> build</c><00:35:53.320><c> a</c><00:35:53.539><c> house,</c><00:35:54.079><c> plant</c><00:35:54.079><c> a</c><00:35:54.260><c> garden</c><00:35:54.480><c> in</c><00:35:54.820><c> Babylon.</c>

00:35:56.280 --> 00:35:59.519
And<00:35:56.440><c> God</c><00:35:56.619><c> says,</c><00:35:57.059><c> and</c><00:35:57.300><c> seek</c><00:35:57.699><c> the</c><00:35:58.099><c> peace</c><00:35:58.280><c> of</c><00:35:58.480><c> the</c><00:35:58.659><c> city.</c>

00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:02.039
That's<00:36:00.219><c> the</c><00:36:00.380><c> last</c><00:36:00.719><c> thing</c><00:36:00.860><c> in</c><00:36:01.019><c> the</c><00:36:01.260><c> world</c><00:36:01.440><c> that</c><00:36:01.639><c> those</c><00:36:01.860><c> Jews</c>

would<00:36:02.320><c> do.</c>

00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:05.599
And<00:36:03.340><c> Jeremiah</c><00:36:03.800><c> was</c><00:36:04.179><c> suffering</c><00:36:04.460><c> because</c><00:36:04.659><c> he</c><00:36:04.820><c> was</c><00:36:04.920><c> doing</c><00:36:05.139><c> that.</c>

00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:08.420
Because<00:36:06.300><c> God</c><00:36:06.559><c> told</c><00:36:06.900><c> him</c><00:36:07.039><c> to</c><00:36:07.199><c> do</c><00:36:07.360><c> that.</c>

00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:10.539
He<00:36:09.139><c> says,</c><00:36:09.460><c> seek</c><00:36:09.719><c> the</c><00:36:09.960><c> peace</c><00:36:10.099><c> of</c><00:36:10.280><c> the</c><00:36:10.400><c> city,</c>

00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:12.360

Incredible<00:37:22.179><c> answer.</c>

00:37:24.019 --> 00:37:27.360
And<00:37:24.219><c> they</c><00:37:24.500><c> could</c><00:37:24.860><c> not</c><00:37:25.179><c> take</c><00:37:25.539><c> hold</c><00:37:25.840><c> of</c><00:37:26.119><c> his</c><00:37:26.380><c> words.</c>
