00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:06.040
He<00:01:03.020><c> trusted</c><00:01:03.439><c> on</c><00:01:03.700><c> the</c><00:01:03.840><c> Lord</c><00:01:04.019><c> that</c><00:01:04.219><c> he</c><00:01:04.400><c> would</c><00:01:04.640><c> deliver</c><00:01:04.939><c> him.</c>

00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:15.159

00:01:17.620 --> 00:01:22.599
where<00:01:18.420><c> the</c><00:01:18.680><c> Psalm</c><00:01:18.900><c> says</c><00:01:19.219><c> he</c><00:01:19.560><c> that</c><00:01:19.799><c> is</c><00:01:20.099><c> Christ</c><00:01:20.340><c> trusted</c><00:01:20.799><c> on</c><00:01:21.120><c> the</c><00:01:21.299><c> Lord.</c>

00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:29.560
And<00:01:25.500><c> I</c><00:01:25.819><c> believe</c><00:01:27.000><c> somewhere</c><00:01:28.140><c> in</c><00:01:28.359><c> the</c><00:01:28.420><c> New</c><00:01:28.620><c> Testament,</c><00:01:29.099><c> I</c><00:01:29.260><c> can't</c>

00:01:31.099 --> 00:01:34.519

00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.719
Anyway<00:01:39.239><c> the</c><00:01:39.840><c> thing</c><00:01:40.099><c> is</c><00:01:40.560><c> that</c><00:01:40.859><c> the</c><00:01:41.079><c> original</c><00:01:41.480><c> for</c><00:01:41.959><c> the</c><00:01:42.239><c> committing</c><00:01:42.500><c> which</c>

00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:04.200

Now<00:02:14.719><c> today</c><00:02:15.219><c> we</c><00:02:15.840><c> want</c><00:02:16.280><c> to</c><00:02:17.560><c> deal</c><00:02:18.120><c> with</c><00:02:18.979><c> temptation</c><00:02:19.819><c> and</c><00:02:20.759><c> sin</c><00:02:21.039><c> and</c>

the<00:03:30.039><c> minimum.</c>

00:03:31.860 --> 00:03:35.219

my<00:20:55.250><c> brother.</c>

00:21:10.390 --> 00:21:15.029
It<00:21:10.970><c> can</c><00:21:11.549><c> for</c><00:21:12.170><c> example</c><00:21:12.750><c> be</c><00:21:13.029><c> a</c><00:21:13.170><c> matter</c><00:21:13.450><c> of</c><00:21:13.789><c> geography.</c>

00:21:16.049 --> 00:21:20.609
For<00:21:16.269><c> example</c><00:21:16.849><c> it's</c><00:21:17.289><c> right</c><00:21:17.849><c> in</c><00:21:18.369><c> England</c><00:21:18.849><c> to</c><00:21:19.130><c> drive</c><00:21:19.329><c> on</c><00:21:19.529><c> the</c><00:21:19.690><c> left</c><00:21:19.910><c> hand</c><00:21:20.190><c> side</c><00:21:20.430><c> of</c>

00:21:24.109 --> 00:21:29.190

00:22:00.309 --> 00:22:02.349
We<00:22:00.710><c> would</c><00:22:00.930><c> not</c><00:22:01.170><c> agree.</c>

00:22:03.609 --> 00:22:08.869
You<00:22:04.430><c> see</c><00:22:04.890><c> the</c><00:22:05.170><c> question</c><00:22:05.549><c> of</c><00:22:05.829><c> conscience</c><00:22:06.730><c> is</c><00:22:08.069><c> something</c><00:22:08.569><c> which</c>

00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:23.119
which<00:40:20.179><c> will</c><00:40:20.460><c> appeal</c><00:40:20.880><c> to</c><00:40:21.099><c> God,</c><00:40:21.940><c> to</c><00:40:21.940><c> Christ.</c>

00:40:25.460 --> 00:40:32.360

00:40:44.219 --> 00:40:50.940
and<00:40:44.880><c> apparently</c><00:40:45.760><c> trying</c><00:40:48.900><c> to</c><00:40:49.300><c> express</c><00:40:49.699><c> deep</c><00:40:50.039><c> gratitude?</c>

00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:55.780
And<00:40:52.239><c> who</c><00:40:52.440><c> would</c><00:40:52.780><c> shed</c><00:40:53.079><c> tears</c><00:40:53.519><c> so</c><00:40:53.920><c> copiously</c><00:40:54.699><c> in</c><00:40:55.119><c> his</c><00:40:55.440><c> presence,</c>

00:41:08.960 --> 00:41:12.880
And<00:41:09.539><c> had</c><00:41:10.219><c> Simon</c><00:41:10.679><c> seen</c><00:41:10.960><c> her</c><00:41:11.199><c> somewhere</c><00:41:11.559><c> before,</c>

00:41:14.420 --> 00:41:16.889

00:41:20.579 --> 00:41:25.679
Now,<00:41:21.699><c> go</c><00:41:22.039><c> back</c><00:41:22.420><c> to</c><00:41:22.780><c> the</c><00:41:22.940><c> 8th</c><00:41:23.320><c> of</c><00:41:23.619><c> John,</c><00:41:24.619><c> where</c><00:41:25.019><c> this</c><00:41:25.320><c> incident</c>

is<00:41:26.019><c> recorded.</c>

00:41:28.179 --> 00:41:33.199
Do<00:41:29.000><c> you</c><00:41:29.280><c> think</c><00:41:29.880><c> that</c><00:41:30.500><c> the</c><00:41:31.280><c> Pharisees</c><00:41:31.880><c> just</c><00:41:32.360><c> stumbled</c><00:41:32.679><c> across</c>

this<00:41:33.699><c> case</c>

00:41:34.059 --> 00:41:37.460
and<00:41:34.300><c> said,</c><00:41:34.539><c> ah,</c><00:41:34.820><c> here's</c><00:41:35.039><c> an</c><00:41:35.199><c> opportunity</c><00:41:35.800><c> to</c><00:41:36.059><c> catch</c><00:41:36.360><c> Christ?</c>

00:41:38.139 --> 00:41:40.480
I<00:41:38.800><c> doubt</c><00:41:39.039><c> it</c><00:41:39.280><c> very</c><00:41:39.519><c> much.</c>

00:41:41.519 --> 00:41:47.659
I<00:41:41.739><c> think</c><00:41:42.179><c> that</c><00:41:42.860><c> they,</c><00:41:43.639><c> shall</c><00:41:44.019><c> I</c><00:41:44.239><c> say,</c><00:41:44.860><c> framed</c><00:41:45.320><c> this</c><00:41:47.000><c> woman</c>

00:41:47.659 --> 00:41:49.900

00:41:49.900 --> 00:41:56.460
to<00:41:50.940><c> produce</c><00:41:52.739><c> a</c><00:41:53.280><c> situation</c><00:41:53.940><c> which</c><00:41:54.199><c> they</c><00:41:54.519><c> could</c><00:41:55.039><c> present</c><00:41:55.820><c> to</c><00:41:56.099><c> Christ,</c>

00:41:56.460 --> 00:41:59.380
or<00:41:56.699><c> it</c><00:41:56.820><c> may</c><00:41:57.039><c> have</c><00:41:57.219><c> been</c><00:41:57.380><c> a</c><00:41:57.679><c> complete</c><00:41:57.920><c> lie</c><00:41:58.280><c> for</c><00:41:58.519><c> all</c><00:41:58.760><c> we</c><00:41:59.000><c> know,</c>

00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:04.099
but<00:41:59.920><c> anyway,</c><00:42:01.000><c> they</c><00:42:01.239><c> came</c><00:42:01.539><c> to</c><00:42:01.719><c> Christ</c><00:42:02.639><c> and</c><00:42:03.099><c> said,</c>

00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:10.679
now,<00:42:05.719><c> Moses</c><00:42:06.139><c> said</c><00:42:06.519><c> that</c><00:42:07.199><c> a</c><00:42:07.659><c> case</c><00:42:07.960><c> like</c><00:42:08.340><c> this</c><00:42:08.679><c> ought</c><00:42:08.980><c> to</c><00:42:09.139><c> be</c><00:42:09.440><c> stoned,</c>

00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:15.039
but<00:42:12.500><c> what</c><00:42:12.880><c> do</c><00:42:13.059><c> you</c><00:42:13.300><c> say</c><00:42:13.559><c> about</c><00:42:14.000><c> it?</c>

00:42:16.179 --> 00:42:18.360
In<00:42:16.400><c> other</c><00:42:16.619><c> words,</c><00:42:16.860><c> do</c><00:42:17.039><c> you</c><00:42:17.059><c> say</c><00:42:17.219><c> they</c><00:42:17.340><c> shouldn't</c><00:42:17.699><c> be</c><00:42:18.019><c> stoned,</c>

00:42:18.360 --> 00:42:22.380
or<00:42:18.840><c> can</c><00:42:18.920><c> we</c><00:42:19.119><c> then</c><00:42:19.400><c> accuse</c><00:42:19.760><c> you</c><00:42:20.019><c> of</c><00:42:20.119><c> not</c><00:42:20.340><c> upholding</c><00:42:20.920><c> the</c><00:42:21.039><c> law</c><00:42:21.300><c> of</c><00:42:21.400><c> Moses?</c>

00:42:22.579 --> 00:42:24.599
And<00:42:22.840><c> if</c><00:42:23.000><c> he</c><00:42:23.199><c> said,</c><00:42:23.420><c> yes,</c><00:42:23.519><c> they</c><00:42:23.739><c> should</c><00:42:23.980><c> be</c><00:42:24.320><c> stoned,</c>

00:42:24.659 --> 00:42:27.380
then<00:42:25.000><c> what</c><00:42:25.320><c> position</c><00:42:25.739><c> would</c><00:42:25.980><c> he</c><00:42:26.260><c> be</c><00:42:26.519><c> in?</c>

00:42:28.559 --> 00:42:32.760
So,<00:42:30.320><c> we</c><00:42:30.539><c> are</c><00:42:30.659><c> told</c><00:42:30.820><c> he</c><00:42:31.019><c> wrote</c><00:42:31.199><c> on</c><00:42:31.440><c> the</c><00:42:31.679><c> ground.</c>

00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:37.539
Now,<00:42:34.920><c> we</c><00:42:35.039><c> don't</c><00:42:35.340><c> know</c><00:42:35.679><c> what</c><00:42:36.139><c> he</c><00:42:36.440><c> wrote</c><00:42:36.719><c> on</c><00:42:37.019><c> the</c><00:42:37.260><c> ground,</c>

00:42:37.559 --> 00:42:41.420
but<00:42:37.739><c> I'm</c><00:42:37.960><c> going</c><00:42:38.159><c> to</c><00:42:38.460><c> suggest</c><00:42:39.260><c> that</c><00:42:40.300><c> he</c><00:42:40.559><c> wrote</c><00:42:40.820><c> something</c>

00:42:41.420 --> 00:42:46.460
which<00:42:41.880><c> gave</c><00:42:42.219><c> them</c><00:42:42.579><c> the</c><00:42:42.940><c> clue</c><00:42:43.239><c> that</c><00:42:43.599><c> he</c><00:42:43.920><c> was</c><00:42:44.260><c> aware</c><00:42:44.719><c> of</c><00:42:45.159><c> their</c><00:42:45.539><c> complicity</c>

00:42:46.460 --> 00:42:49.360
and<00:42:47.059><c> of</c><00:42:47.440><c> their</c><00:42:47.900><c> scheming.</c>

00:42:49.659 --> 00:42:52.980
And<00:42:49.820><c> then</c><00:42:50.059><c> he</c><00:42:50.360><c> said,</c><00:42:51.000><c> he</c><00:42:51.019><c> that</c><00:42:51.320><c> is</c><00:42:51.559><c> without</c><00:42:51.980><c> sin.</c>

00:42:53.440 --> 00:42:57.519
Now,<00:42:53.900><c> the</c><00:42:54.039><c> law</c><00:42:54.300><c> did</c><00:42:54.579><c> not</c><00:42:54.840><c> demand</c><00:42:55.679><c> that</c><00:42:56.559><c> the</c><00:42:56.739><c> witnesses</c><00:42:57.119><c> should</c>

00:42:57.519 --> 00:42:59.219
be<00:42:57.800><c> without</c><00:42:58.239><c> sin.</c>

00:43:00.539 --> 00:43:03.960
It<00:43:01.000><c> said</c><00:43:01.320><c> the</c><00:43:01.619><c> witnesses</c><00:43:02.079><c> should</c><00:43:02.400><c> be</c><00:43:02.679><c> the</c><00:43:02.860><c> ones</c><00:43:03.099><c> to</c><00:43:03.400><c> cast</c><00:43:03.639><c> the</c>

first<00:43:04.320><c> stone.</c>

00:43:07.300 --> 00:43:12.019
So,<00:43:08.199><c> I</c><00:43:08.480><c> suggest</c><00:43:09.059><c> that</c><00:43:09.539><c> what</c><00:43:09.940><c> Christ</c><00:43:10.340><c> really</c><00:43:10.780><c> meant</c><00:43:11.159><c> was</c>

00:43:12.260 --> 00:43:16.059
he<00:43:12.940><c> that</c><00:43:13.139><c> is</c><00:43:13.380><c> without</c><00:43:13.880><c> sin</c><00:43:14.179><c> in</c><00:43:14.420><c> the</c><00:43:14.579><c> sense</c><00:43:14.800><c> of</c><00:43:15.079><c> being</c><00:43:15.340><c> involved</c>

00:43:16.059 --> 00:43:17.760
in<00:43:16.360><c> this</c><00:43:16.820><c> plot.</c>

00:43:20.559 --> 00:43:26.159
And<00:43:20.800><c> that</c><00:43:21.119><c> being</c><00:43:21.400><c> the</c><00:43:21.659><c> case,</c><00:43:23.260><c> obviously</c><00:43:24.059><c> their</c><00:43:24.380><c> consciences</c>

00:43:26.159 --> 00:43:28.920
smoke<00:43:27.719><c> them.</c>

00:43:33.699 --> 00:43:38.019
But<00:43:34.380><c> Jesus,</c><00:43:35.599><c> left</c><00:43:35.760><c> alone</c><00:43:36.099><c> with</c><00:43:36.320><c> the</c><00:43:36.480><c> woman,</c><00:43:37.139><c> said,</c>

00:43:39.019 --> 00:43:41.639
I<00:43:39.599><c> do</c><00:43:39.840><c> not</c><00:43:40.099><c> condemn</c><00:43:40.539><c> thee.</c>

00:43:42.900 --> 00:43:46.090
Now,<00:43:43.179><c> when</c><00:43:43.440><c> Jesus</c><00:43:43.800><c> gave</c><00:43:44.079><c> the</c><00:43:44.360><c> question</c><00:43:44.639><c> of</c><00:43:44.900><c> the</c><00:43:45.099><c> two</c><00:43:45.300><c> creditors,</c>

00:43:46.619 --> 00:43:49.940
Simon<00:43:46.780><c> gave</c><00:43:47.059><c> the</c><00:43:47.320><c> right</c><00:43:47.579><c> answer,</c><00:43:48.139><c> and</c><00:43:48.260><c> we</c><00:43:48.480><c> are</c><00:43:48.659><c> told</c>

00:43:51.039 --> 00:43:54.800
that<00:43:51.619><c> it</c><00:43:52.199><c> was</c><00:43:52.420><c> those</c><00:43:52.760><c> who</c><00:43:53.119><c> sat</c><00:43:53.340><c> at</c><00:43:53.539><c> meet</c><00:43:53.820><c> with</c><00:43:54.179><c> him</c>

00:43:54.800 --> 00:43:57.860
who<00:43:55.179><c> objected</c><00:43:55.760><c> to</c><00:43:55.960><c> the</c><00:43:56.199><c> attitude</c><00:43:56.619><c> of</c><00:43:56.920><c> Christ.</c>

00:43:58.820 --> 00:44:02.019
Now,<00:43:59.159><c> we're</c><00:43:59.380><c> next</c><00:43:59.780><c> introduced</c><00:44:00.300><c> to</c><00:44:00.679><c> Simon.</c>

00:44:02.519 --> 00:44:05.300
Now,<00:44:02.980><c> it's</c><00:44:03.300><c> not</c><00:44:03.679><c> certain</c><00:44:03.940><c> that</c><00:44:04.099><c> it</c><00:44:04.179><c> was</c><00:44:04.400><c> the</c><00:44:04.539><c> same</c><00:44:04.800><c> man,</c>

00:44:05.300 --> 00:44:07.400
although<00:44:05.599><c> of</c><00:44:05.800><c> course</c><00:44:05.960><c> it</c><00:44:06.079><c> could</c><00:44:06.280><c> have</c><00:44:06.539><c> been,</c>

00:44:07.860 --> 00:44:11.460
who<00:44:08.059><c> had</c><00:44:08.219><c> been</c><00:44:08.440><c> a</c><00:44:08.619><c> leper</c><00:44:09.019><c> and</c><00:44:09.440><c> presumably</c><00:44:09.980><c> was</c><00:44:10.300><c> cured</c><00:44:10.579><c> by</c><00:44:10.940><c> Jesus,</c>

00:44:11.460 --> 00:44:14.340
and<00:44:11.719><c> that's</c><00:44:12.059><c> in</c><00:44:12.139><c> Matthew</c><00:44:12.460><c> 26,</c><00:44:13.519><c> verse</c><00:44:13.760><c> 6.</c>

00:44:14.780 --> 00:44:18.480
And<00:44:14.960><c> again,</c><00:44:16.000><c> while</c><00:44:16.280><c> Jesus</c><00:44:16.739><c> was</c><00:44:17.039><c> there,</c><00:44:17.460><c> a</c><00:44:17.639><c> woman</c><00:44:17.920><c> came</c><00:44:18.239><c> in,</c>

00:44:18.480 --> 00:44:21.539
and<00:44:18.619><c> this</c><00:44:18.960><c> time</c><00:44:19.159><c> she's</c><00:44:19.420><c> not</c><00:44:19.659><c> described</c><00:44:20.079><c> as</c><00:44:20.300><c> being</c><00:44:20.559><c> a</c><00:44:20.780><c> sinner.</c>

00:44:21.900 --> 00:44:24.420
She's<00:44:22.239><c> just</c><00:44:22.559><c> mentioned</c><00:44:22.860><c> as</c><00:44:23.280><c> a</c><00:44:23.559><c> woman.</c>

00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:28.159
And<00:44:25.300><c> she</c><00:44:25.760><c> poured</c><00:44:26.159><c> a</c><00:44:26.480><c> box</c><00:44:26.719><c> of</c><00:44:26.940><c> very</c><00:44:27.340><c> precious</c><00:44:27.639><c> ointment</c>

00:44:28.159 --> 00:44:30.800
on<00:44:28.380><c> the</c><00:44:28.460><c> head</c><00:44:28.579><c> of</c><00:44:28.760><c> Jesus</c><00:44:29.159><c> while</c><00:44:29.559><c> he</c><00:44:29.940><c> ate.</c>

00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:35.039
And<00:44:31.920><c> this</c><00:44:32.559><c> time,</c><00:44:33.699><c> objection</c><00:44:33.800><c> was</c><00:44:34.099><c> raised</c><00:44:34.440><c> again,</c>

00:44:35.139 --> 00:44:38.519
but<00:44:35.599><c> it</c><00:44:35.880><c> was</c><00:44:36.119><c> by</c><00:44:36.380><c> the</c><00:44:36.579><c> disciples</c><00:44:37.159><c> of</c><00:44:37.420><c> Christ.</c>

00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:45.239
Now,<00:44:41.139><c> it's</c><00:44:41.420><c> thought</c><00:44:41.619><c> that,</c><00:44:42.639><c> I</c><00:44:43.739><c> believe</c><00:44:43.960><c> it</c><00:44:44.199><c> says</c><00:44:44.360><c> in</c><00:44:44.619><c> one</c><00:44:44.900><c> part,</c>

00:44:45.420 --> 00:44:49.280
it<00:44:45.539><c> was</c><00:44:45.739><c> oil</c><00:44:46.000><c> of</c><00:44:46.260><c> spikenard</c><00:44:47.079><c> which</c><00:44:47.840><c> was</c><00:44:48.199><c> used,</c>

00:44:49.739 --> 00:44:51.480
and<00:44:50.079><c> according</c><00:44:50.420><c> to</c><00:44:50.579><c> what</c><00:44:50.800><c> I</c><00:44:51.019><c> have</c><00:44:51.219><c> read,</c>

00:44:51.539 --> 00:44:56.579
that<00:44:51.860><c> was</c><00:44:52.699><c> a</c><00:44:53.059><c> perfume</c><00:44:53.500><c> which</c><00:44:53.940><c> was</c><00:44:54.460><c> purchased</c><00:44:54.980><c> by</c><00:44:55.360><c> the</c><00:44:55.559><c> rich,</c>

00:44:56.820 --> 00:44:59.519
because<00:44:57.219><c> as</c><00:44:57.519><c> far</c><00:44:57.719><c> as</c><00:44:57.960><c> poorer</c><00:44:58.179><c> people</c><00:44:58.619><c> were</c><00:44:58.880><c> concerned,</c>

00:44:59.519 --> 00:45:03.699
and<00:44:59.980><c> this</c><00:45:00.539><c> woman</c><00:45:00.880><c> evidently</c><00:45:01.519><c> would</c><00:45:01.699><c> be</c><00:45:02.019><c> one</c><00:45:02.480><c> of</c><00:45:02.679><c> the</c><00:45:02.860><c> poorer</c><00:45:03.119><c> kind,</c>

00:45:04.139 --> 00:45:07.780
it<00:45:04.380><c> would</c><00:45:04.639><c> take</c><00:45:04.900><c> a</c><00:45:05.039><c> year's</c><00:45:05.519><c> wages</c><00:45:06.099><c> to</c><00:45:06.400><c> get</c><00:45:06.559><c> enough</c><00:45:06.820><c> money</c><00:45:07.139><c> to</c><00:45:07.320><c> buy</c><00:45:07.599><c> a</c>

00:45:07.780 --> 00:45:09.260
box<00:45:07.980><c> of</c><00:45:08.280><c> that.</c>

00:45:10.320 --> 00:45:14.400
And<00:45:10.619><c> that's</c><00:45:10.940><c> why</c><00:45:11.300><c> the</c><00:45:11.579><c> disciples,</c><00:45:12.719><c> at</c><00:45:12.719><c> least</c><00:45:13.280><c> Judas,</c>

00:45:14.739 --> 00:45:18.179
would<00:45:14.980><c> say</c><00:45:15.460><c> was</c><00:45:16.320><c> a</c><00:45:16.559><c> terrible</c><00:45:17.000><c> waste.</c>

00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:26.639
Anyway,<00:45:25.340><c> in</c><00:45:25.460><c> the</c><00:45:25.679><c> first</c><00:45:25.980><c> instance,</c>

00:45:26.639 --> 00:45:28.980
the<00:45:27.219><c> woman</c><00:45:27.500><c> anointed</c><00:45:27.900><c> the</c><00:45:28.139><c> feet</c><00:45:28.320><c> of</c><00:45:28.539><c> Jesus,</c>

00:45:29.019 --> 00:45:32.000
and<00:45:29.260><c> in</c><00:45:29.400><c> the</c><00:45:29.599><c> second</c><00:45:30.059><c> she</c><00:45:30.360><c> anointed</c><00:45:30.739><c> his</c><00:45:31.099><c> head.</c>

00:45:32.619 --> 00:45:37.179
In<00:45:32.820><c> John</c><00:45:33.099><c> 11,</c><00:45:33.659><c> we</c><00:45:33.980><c> are</c><00:45:34.280><c> introduced</c><00:45:34.719><c> to</c><00:45:34.960><c> three</c><00:45:35.199><c> friends</c><00:45:35.559><c> of</c><00:45:35.780><c> Jesus,</c>

00:45:37.300 --> 00:45:39.079
Lazarus,<00:45:37.980><c> Mary,</c><00:45:38.320><c> and</c><00:45:38.559><c> Martha.</c>

00:45:39.260 --> 00:45:42.079
And<00:45:39.539><c> John,</c><00:45:40.699><c> as</c><00:45:40.860><c> a</c><00:45:40.980><c> sort</c><00:45:41.179><c> of</c><00:45:41.400><c> an</c><00:45:41.659><c> afterthought,</c>

00:45:42.179 --> 00:45:43.559
adds<00:45:42.400><c> in</c><00:45:42.659><c> a</c><00:45:42.860><c> parenthesis,</c>

00:45:44.039 --> 00:45:49.440
it<00:45:44.519><c> was</c><00:45:45.380><c> that</c><00:45:46.219><c> Mary</c><00:45:46.820><c> which</c><00:45:47.480><c> anointed</c><00:45:48.099><c> the</c><00:45:48.420><c> Lord</c><00:45:48.639><c> with</c><00:45:48.920><c> ointment</c>

00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:52.539
and<00:45:49.780><c> wiped</c><00:45:50.079><c> his</c><00:45:50.460><c> feet</c><00:45:50.659><c> with</c><00:45:50.940><c> her</c><00:45:51.280><c> hair,</c>

00:45:53.440 --> 00:45:55.699
whose<00:45:53.619><c> brother</c><00:45:53.940><c> Lazarus</c><00:45:54.440><c> was</c><00:45:54.820><c> sick.</c>

00:45:57.579 --> 00:46:01.559
Now,<00:45:58.579><c> John</c><00:45:58.860><c> must</c><00:45:59.199><c> have</c><00:45:59.400><c> put</c><00:45:59.500><c> that</c><00:45:59.760><c> in</c><00:45:59.900><c> there</c><00:46:00.099><c> for</c><00:46:00.300><c> a</c><00:46:00.480><c> purpose.</c>

00:46:03.320 --> 00:46:07.429
And<00:46:03.639><c> I'm</c><00:46:04.380><c> suggesting,</c><00:46:04.980><c> and</c><00:46:05.219><c> I</c><00:46:05.400><c> can't</c><00:46:05.679><c> say</c><00:46:05.820><c> it</c><00:46:06.079><c> is</c><00:46:06.619><c> certain,</c>

00:46:07.539 --> 00:46:09.539
but<00:46:07.739><c> I</c><00:46:07.920><c> think</c><00:46:08.059><c> it</c><00:46:08.219><c> is</c><00:46:08.500><c> probable,</c>

00:46:09.559 --> 00:46:13.300
that<00:46:09.719><c> she</c><00:46:10.059><c> was</c><00:46:10.380><c> the</c><00:46:10.500><c> woman</c><00:46:10.840><c> who</c><00:46:11.280><c> was</c><00:46:12.440><c> a</c><00:46:13.019><c> sinner,</c>

00:46:13.480 --> 00:46:15.719
in<00:46:13.739><c> inverted</c><00:46:14.079><c> commas,</c><00:46:14.619><c> in</c><00:46:14.760><c> the</c><00:46:14.920><c> first</c><00:46:15.239><c> instance,</c>

00:46:15.780 --> 00:46:19.230
and<00:46:16.159><c> the</c><00:46:16.320><c> woman</c><00:46:16.739><c> in</c><00:46:17.380><c> the</c><00:46:17.820><c> second</c><00:46:18.420><c> instance.</c>

00:46:21.650 --> 00:46:29.650
Now,<00:46:25.349><c> you'll</c><00:46:25.789><c> find</c><00:46:26.230><c> that</c><00:46:27.489><c> we</c><00:46:27.909><c> are</c><00:46:28.650><c> told</c><00:46:28.909><c> further</c><00:46:29.309><c> on</c>

00:46:29.650 --> 00:46:36.809
that<00:46:29.909><c> Jesus</c><00:46:30.710><c> loved</c><00:46:31.570><c> Martha</c><00:46:32.269><c> and</c><00:46:33.090><c> her</c><00:46:33.389><c> sister</c><00:46:34.250><c> and</c><00:46:35.409><c> Lazarus.</c>

00:46:36.889 --> 00:46:42.449
Now,<00:46:37.570><c> why</c><00:46:37.949><c> didn't</c><00:46:38.309><c> John</c><00:46:38.670><c> say</c><00:46:39.869><c> Martha</c><00:46:40.530><c> and</c><00:46:40.750><c> Mary</c><00:46:41.030><c> and</c><00:46:41.269><c> Lazarus?</c>

00:46:44.369 --> 00:46:48.710

00:46:54.309 --> 00:46:56.630
someone<00:46:54.650><c> who</c><00:46:54.889><c> should</c><00:46:55.050><c> be</c><00:46:55.230><c> a</c><00:46:55.349><c> little</c><00:46:55.550><c> bit</c><00:46:55.730><c> in</c><00:46:55.889><c> the</c><00:46:56.010><c> background</c>

00:47:00.210 --> 00:47:04.469
Now,<00:47:00.710><c> whether</c><00:47:01.010><c> she</c><00:47:01.289><c> was</c><00:47:02.050><c> the</c><00:47:02.389><c> woman</c><00:47:02.670><c> taken</c><00:47:03.050><c> in</c><00:47:03.309><c> adultery</c><00:47:03.829><c> or</c><00:47:04.150><c> not,</c>

00:47:04.650 --> 00:47:06.090
we<00:47:04.750><c> don't</c><00:47:05.090><c> know.</c>

00:47:06.590 --> 00:47:10.269
But<00:47:07.190><c> to</c><00:47:07.570><c> me,</c><00:47:07.969><c> it</c><00:47:08.170><c> seems</c><00:47:08.750><c> very</c><00:47:09.449><c> possible.</c>

00:47:12.750 --> 00:47:15.230
But<00:47:13.389><c> whether</c><00:47:14.030><c> she</c><00:47:14.329><c> was</c><00:47:14.530><c> or</c><00:47:14.809><c> not,</c>

00:47:15.230 --> 00:47:22.809
we<00:47:15.550><c> are</c><00:47:15.829><c> told</c><00:47:16.329><c> that</c><00:47:17.269><c> Jesus</c><00:47:18.050><c> loved</c><00:47:18.690><c> her</c><00:47:19.630><c> and</c><00:47:20.349><c> her</c><00:47:20.570><c> sister</c><00:47:21.190><c> and</c><00:47:21.809><c> Lazarus.</c>

00:47:23.329 --> 00:47:27.789
But<00:47:23.909><c> when</c><00:47:24.170><c> we</c><00:47:24.389><c> consider</c><00:47:24.889><c> that</c><00:47:25.469><c> Jesus</c><00:47:25.949><c> is</c><00:47:26.389><c> the</c><00:47:26.909><c> appointed</c><00:47:27.429><c> judge</c>

00:47:27.789 --> 00:47:29.730
of<00:47:28.070><c> all</c><00:47:28.389><c> the</c><00:47:28.670><c> earth,</c>

00:47:29.789 --> 00:47:34.909
can't<00:47:30.150><c> you</c><00:47:30.429><c> see</c><00:47:31.250><c> that</c><00:47:31.809><c> his</c><00:47:32.030><c> attitude</c><00:47:32.829><c> to</c><00:47:33.710><c> this</c><00:47:33.929><c> woman</c>

00:47:35.230 --> 00:47:41.150
is<00:47:36.030><c> a</c><00:47:36.869><c> perfect</c><00:47:37.289><c> example</c><00:47:37.989><c> of</c><00:47:38.289><c> what</c><00:47:38.630><c> he</c><00:47:39.429><c> wants</c><00:47:39.869><c> to</c><00:47:40.150><c> do</c>

00:47:40.829 --> 00:47:44.730
for<00:47:41.329><c> those</c><00:47:41.809><c> who</c><00:47:42.570><c> try</c><00:47:42.949><c> to</c><00:47:43.329><c> please</c><00:47:43.610><c> him?</c>

00:47:45.230 --> 00:47:50.050
There<00:47:45.730><c> is,</c><00:47:46.230><c> in</c><00:47:47.530><c> Paul's</c><00:47:48.949><c> writings,</c>

00:47:50.230 --> 00:47:55.170
his<00:47:50.369><c> details</c><00:47:50.829><c> of</c><00:47:51.130><c> his</c><00:47:51.369><c> former</c><00:47:51.710><c> sins</c><00:47:52.190><c> and</c><00:47:52.889><c> of</c><00:47:53.590><c> God's</c><00:47:54.050><c> mercy</c><00:47:54.369><c> on</c><00:47:54.650><c> him.</c>

00:47:55.670 --> 00:47:59.409
And<00:47:55.869><c> then</c><00:47:56.130><c> he</c><00:47:56.269><c> says</c><00:47:56.849><c> he</c><00:47:57.309><c> was</c><00:47:57.630><c> the</c><00:47:57.869><c> chief</c><00:47:58.110><c> of</c><00:47:58.409><c> sinners.</c>

00:48:01.630 --> 00:48:04.230
And<00:48:02.269><c> again,</c><00:48:03.030><c> we</c><00:48:03.110><c> can't</c><00:48:03.449><c> say</c><00:48:03.650><c> for</c><00:48:03.909><c> sure,</c>

00:48:04.269 --> 00:48:08.369
but<00:48:04.429><c> it</c><00:48:04.570><c> could</c><00:48:04.769><c> be</c><00:48:05.110><c> he</c><00:48:05.329><c> was</c><00:48:05.590><c> amongst</c><00:48:05.949><c> those</c><00:48:07.429><c> Pharisees</c>

00:48:08.369 --> 00:48:12.590
who<00:48:08.670><c> were</c><00:48:08.929><c> urging</c><00:48:09.289><c> the</c><00:48:09.550><c> people</c><00:48:09.849><c> on</c><00:48:10.250><c> to</c><00:48:10.530><c> demand</c><00:48:10.849><c> the</c><00:48:11.090><c> crucifixion</c><00:48:11.849><c> of</c><00:48:12.050><c> Christ.</c>

00:48:12.590 --> 00:48:16.210
We<00:48:13.690><c> can't</c><00:48:14.070><c> say</c><00:48:14.230><c> for</c><00:48:14.489><c> sure,</c><00:48:14.849><c> but</c><00:48:15.110><c> it</c><00:48:15.269><c> could</c><00:48:15.489><c> have</c><00:48:15.869><c> been.</c>

00:48:16.289 --> 00:48:19.250
He<00:48:16.489><c> certainly</c><00:48:16.889><c> was</c><00:48:17.190><c> a</c><00:48:17.269><c> very</c><00:48:17.670><c> strong</c><00:48:17.889><c> opponent</c><00:48:18.409><c> afterwards.</c>

00:48:20.309 --> 00:48:21.710
But<00:48:20.469><c> he</c><00:48:20.730><c> says,</c>

00:48:21.949 --> 00:48:25.250
This<00:48:22.090><c> is</c><00:48:22.230><c> a</c><00:48:22.429><c> faithful</c><00:48:22.829><c> saying</c><00:48:23.289><c> and</c><00:48:23.650><c> worthy</c><00:48:23.929><c> of</c><00:48:24.150><c> all</c><00:48:24.409><c> acceptation</c>

00:48:25.309 --> 00:48:28.630
that<00:48:25.530><c> Christ</c><00:48:25.889><c> Jesus</c><00:48:26.269><c> came</c><00:48:26.570><c> into</c><00:48:26.849><c> the</c><00:48:27.110><c> world</c><00:48:27.530><c> to</c><00:48:27.789><c> save</c><00:48:28.090><c> sinners</c>

00:48:28.630 --> 00:48:30.909
of<00:48:29.250><c> whom</c><00:48:29.570><c> I</c><00:48:30.090><c> am</c><00:48:30.449><c> chief.</c>

00:48:31.389 --> 00:48:34.809
Howbeit,<00:48:32.070><c> for</c><00:48:32.309><c> this</c><00:48:32.690><c> cause</c><00:48:33.030><c> I</c><00:48:33.349><c> obtained</c><00:48:33.769><c> mercy,</c>

00:48:34.889 --> 00:48:39.710
that<00:48:35.030><c> in</c><00:48:35.309><c> me</c><00:48:35.630><c> first</c><00:48:36.289><c> Jesus</c><00:48:36.889><c> Christ</c><00:48:37.329><c> might</c><00:48:37.650><c> show</c><00:48:37.929><c> forth</c><00:48:38.269><c> all</c><00:48:38.670><c> longsuffering</c>

00:48:39.710 --> 00:48:44.670
for<00:48:40.489><c> a</c><00:48:41.409><c> pattern</c><00:48:41.989><c> to</c><00:48:42.730><c> them</c><00:48:43.070><c> which</c><00:48:43.449><c> should</c><00:48:43.710><c> hereafter</c><00:48:44.289><c> believe</c>

00:48:44.670 --> 00:48:45.610
on<00:48:45.010><c> him</c>

00:48:45.610 --> 00:48:48.269
to<00:48:46.510><c> life</c><00:48:46.929><c> everlasting.</c>

00:48:50.750 --> 00:48:53.250
Look<00:48:51.369><c> at</c><00:48:51.590><c> me,</c><00:48:51.869><c> says</c><00:48:52.150><c> Paul,</c>

00:48:53.329 --> 00:48:56.010
the<00:48:53.690><c> chiefest</c><00:48:54.469><c> of</c><00:48:54.869><c> sinners,</c>

00:48:56.369 --> 00:48:59.590
the<00:48:56.809><c> worst</c><00:48:57.269><c> of</c><00:48:57.769><c> the</c><00:48:58.570><c> worst,</c>

00:49:00.489 --> 00:49:03.469
the<00:49:00.909><c> lowest</c><00:49:01.590><c> of</c><00:49:02.329><c> the</c><00:49:02.610><c> low.</c>

00:49:05.829 --> 00:49:09.309
But<00:49:06.250><c> God</c><00:49:06.630><c> had</c><00:49:06.869><c> mercy</c><00:49:07.389><c> on</c><00:49:07.730><c> me</c>

00:49:10.050 --> 00:49:14.150
and<00:49:10.809><c> it</c><00:49:11.070><c> was</c><00:49:11.449><c> done</c><00:49:11.909><c> so</c><00:49:12.349><c> that</c><00:49:12.730><c> if</c><00:49:12.989><c> you</c><00:49:13.250><c> take</c><00:49:13.630><c> me,</c>

00:49:14.289 --> 00:49:17.010
one<00:49:14.489><c> of</c><00:49:14.650><c> the</c><00:49:14.730><c> most</c><00:49:15.090><c> terrible</c><00:49:15.650><c> cases</c>

00:49:17.409 --> 00:49:21.510
that<00:49:18.170><c> Christ</c><00:49:18.929><c> showed</c><00:49:19.510><c> mercy</c><00:49:20.190><c> to,</c>

00:49:22.329 --> 00:49:26.429
take<00:49:22.650><c> it</c><00:49:22.869><c> as</c><00:49:23.170><c> a</c><00:49:23.409><c> pattern</c><00:49:23.929><c> of</c><00:49:24.650><c> what</c><00:49:24.869><c> he'll</c><00:49:25.070><c> do</c><00:49:25.269><c> for</c><00:49:25.550><c> you.</c>

00:49:45.090 --> 00:49:48.409
Thanks<00:49:46.489><c> for</c><00:49:47.889><c> watching!</c>
