00:00:39.899 --> 00:00:42.140
It<00:00:40.039><c> is</c><00:00:40.159><c> not</c><00:00:40.380><c> saying</c><00:00:40.539><c> that</c><00:00:40.700><c> Jesus</c><00:00:41.000><c> is</c><00:00:41.200><c> the</c><00:00:41.340><c> same</c><00:00:41.560><c> substance</c><00:00:41.939><c> as</c>

Instead,<00:00:44.439><c> as</c><00:00:44.600><c> we</c><00:00:44.759><c> examine</c><00:00:45.079><c> these</c><00:00:45.280><c> verses,</c><00:00:46.259><c> we</c><00:00:46.399><c> will</c><00:00:46.600><c> see</c><00:00:46.740><c> that</c>

00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:20.279
this<00:12:18.179><c> point,</c><00:12:18.740><c> that</c><00:12:18.899><c> he</c><00:12:19.019><c> was</c><00:12:19.200><c> God's</c><00:12:19.580><c> Son.</c>

00:12:20.659 --> 00:12:22.500
He<00:12:20.899><c> states</c><00:12:21.080><c> that</c><00:12:21.240><c> he</c><00:12:21.340><c> came</c><00:12:21.600><c> forth</c><00:12:21.899><c> from</c><00:12:22.120><c> God.</c>

00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:26.000
This<00:12:23.360><c> is</c><00:12:23.519><c> another</c><00:12:23.759><c> way</c><00:12:23.960><c> of</c><00:12:24.059><c> saying</c><00:12:24.279><c> that</c><00:12:24.480><c> God</c><00:12:24.639><c> was</c><00:12:24.840><c> his</c><00:12:24.980><c> Father.</c>

00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:43.480
Later,<00:12:41.080><c> after</c><00:12:41.399><c> being</c><00:12:41.659><c> chased</c><00:12:41.919><c> out</c><00:12:42.059><c> of</c><00:12:42.159><c> the</c><00:12:42.299><c> temple</c><00:12:42.500><c> by</c><00:12:42.720><c> the</c><00:12:42.879><c> Jews,</c><00:12:43.320><c> he</c>

00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:44.419

00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:47.940
This<00:12:46.539><c> happened</c><00:12:46.820><c> on</c><00:12:46.980><c> the</c><00:12:47.159><c> Sabbath.</c>

00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:51.460
The<00:12:48.480><c> man</c><00:12:48.659><c> was</c><00:12:48.879><c> taken</c><00:12:49.120><c> in</c><00:12:49.299><c> front</c><00:12:49.379><c> of</c><00:12:49.500><c> the</c><00:12:49.639><c> Jews,</c><00:12:50.120><c> having</c><00:12:50.340><c> to</c><00:12:50.580><c> testify</c><00:12:50.960><c> about</c><00:12:51.220><c> his</c>

00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:53.639
of<00:12:52.200><c> the</c><00:12:52.360><c> healer.</c>

00:12:53.720 --> 00:12:56.940
He<00:12:53.740><c> made</c><00:12:53.960><c> a</c><00:12:54.179><c> valiant</c><00:12:54.500><c> defense</c><00:12:54.840><c> for</c><00:12:55.039><c> his</c><00:12:55.279><c> faith,</c><00:12:56.019><c> being</c><00:12:56.340><c> expelled</c><00:12:56.720><c> from</c>

00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:05.159
Just<00:13:00.120><c> after</c><00:13:00.399><c> this,</c><00:13:01.720><c> Jesus</c><00:13:01.919><c> met</c><00:13:02.159><c> him</c><00:13:02.659><c> and</c><00:13:03.039><c> told</c><00:13:03.299><c> him</c><00:13:03.539><c> of</c><00:13:03.720><c> his</c><00:13:03.919><c> sonship.</c>

00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:24.700
And<00:13:23.159><c> Jesus</c><00:13:23.500><c> said</c><00:13:23.720><c> unto</c><00:13:23.940><c> him,</c>

00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:40.679
Another<00:13:36.720><c> time,</c><00:13:37.399><c> as</c><00:13:37.539><c> we</c><00:13:37.679><c> saw</c><00:13:37.840><c> in</c><00:13:37.940><c> the</c><00:13:38.019><c> chapter</c><00:13:38.299><c> about</c><00:13:38.519><c> Jesus</c><00:13:38.919><c> and</c><00:13:39.019><c> God</c><00:13:39.279><c> manifestation,</c><00:13:40.559><c> he</c>

00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:45.559
This<00:13:44.200><c> was</c><00:13:44.419><c> misunderstood</c><00:13:44.960><c> by</c><00:13:45.200><c> them.</c>

00:13:45.980 --> 00:13:48.379
They<00:13:46.139><c> took</c><00:13:46.340><c> it</c><00:13:46.480><c> just</c><00:13:46.679><c> as</c><00:13:46.860><c> many</c><00:13:47.080><c> Trinitarians</c><00:13:47.659><c> take</c><00:13:47.899><c> it</c><00:13:48.059><c> today,</c>
