00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:48.639
We're<00:10:44.059><c> going</c><00:10:44.179><c> to</c><00:10:44.340><c> show</c><00:10:44.740><c> also</c><00:10:45.519><c> that</c><00:10:45.879><c> the</c><00:10:47.059><c> discourse</c><00:10:47.860><c> which</c><00:10:48.120><c> Jesus</c><00:10:48.440><c> had</c>

the<00:10:55.340><c> term</c><00:10:55.700><c> liar</c>

00:10:56.139 --> 00:10:59.740
that<00:10:56.379><c> he</c><00:10:56.659><c> calls</c><00:10:56.919><c> people</c><00:10:57.460><c> who</c><00:10:57.620><c> are</c><00:10:57.799><c> not</c><00:10:58.000><c> walking</c><00:10:58.360><c> in</c><00:10:59.000><c> the</c><00:10:59.240><c> light,</c><00:10:59.679><c> but</c>

00:10:59.740 --> 00:11:00.799
say<00:11:00.039><c> they're</c><00:11:00.259><c> in</c><00:11:00.460><c> fellowship.</c>

00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.840
He<00:11:01.080><c> says,</c><00:11:01.759><c> if</c><00:11:01.799><c> you're</c><00:11:02.000><c> in</c><00:11:02.080><c> that</c><00:11:02.200><c> position,</c><00:11:02.600><c> you're</c><00:11:02.879><c> a</c><00:11:02.980><c> liar.</c>

00:11:03.899 --> 00:11:06.399
John<00:11:04.059><c> just</c><00:11:04.360><c> doesn't</c><00:11:04.700><c> enjoy</c><00:11:05.139><c> calling</c><00:11:05.519><c> people</c><00:11:05.919><c> liars.</c>

00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:09.860
He<00:11:06.519><c> actually</c><00:11:06.899><c> takes</c><00:11:07.220><c> that</c><00:11:07.559><c> term</c><00:11:07.799><c> up</c><00:11:08.139><c> straight</c><00:11:08.519><c> out</c><00:11:08.820><c> of</c><00:11:09.419><c> Jesus'</c>

00:11:10.100 --> 00:11:11.000
lips<00:11:10.159><c> in</c><00:11:10.279><c> his</c><00:11:10.539><c> discourse</c>

00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:14.000
with<00:11:11.240><c> the</c><00:11:11.419><c> Jews</c><00:11:11.659><c> who</c><00:11:11.860><c> opposed</c><00:11:12.240><c> him</c><00:11:12.519><c> in</c><00:11:12.799><c> an</c><00:11:13.120><c> argument</c><00:11:13.580><c> which</c>

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:16.120
was<00:11:14.240><c> about</c><00:11:14.840><c> fatherhood.</c>

00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:20.899
The<00:11:16.779><c> argument</c><00:11:17.139><c> was</c><00:11:18.399><c> his</c><00:11:19.980><c> origin.</c>

00:11:21.580 --> 00:11:23.759
He<00:11:21.700><c> says,</c><00:11:22.120><c> I'm</c><00:11:22.299><c> of</c><00:11:22.559><c> my</c><00:11:22.899><c> father.</c>

00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:26.039
They<00:11:24.360><c> say,</c><00:11:24.519><c> well,</c><00:11:24.659><c> we</c><00:11:24.879><c> were</c><00:11:24.960><c> of</c><00:11:25.120><c> our</c><00:11:25.340><c> father,</c><00:11:25.580><c> Abraham.</c>

00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.340
And<00:11:26.100><c> this</c><00:11:26.360><c> argument</c><00:11:26.679><c> goes</c><00:11:27.000><c> to</c><00:11:27.240><c> and</c><00:11:27.320><c> fro</c><00:11:27.580><c> about</c><00:11:27.820><c> begettal.</c>

00:11:28.419 --> 00:11:32.200
Who<00:11:28.720><c> is</c><00:11:29.679><c> your</c><00:11:29.940><c> origin?</c><00:11:30.919><c> Who</c><00:11:30.960><c> is</c><00:11:31.159><c> your</c><00:11:31.299><c> father?</c>

00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.240
And<00:11:32.440><c> out</c><00:11:32.679><c> of</c><00:11:32.820><c> that</c><00:11:32.980><c> discourse,</c><00:11:33.759><c> John</c><00:11:33.759><c> lifts</c><00:11:34.100><c> several</c><00:11:34.559><c> expressions</c>

00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:37.480
and<00:11:35.679><c> expands</c><00:11:36.240><c> them</c><00:11:36.419><c> in</c><00:11:36.539><c> the</c><00:11:36.679><c> gospel.</c>

00:11:37.820 --> 00:11:41.240
So,<00:11:37.919><c> it's</c><00:11:38.059><c> going</c><00:11:38.179><c> to</c><00:11:38.279><c> be</c><00:11:38.460><c> critical</c><00:11:38.860><c> to</c><00:11:40.200><c> bear</c><00:11:40.539><c> that</c><00:11:40.740><c> in</c><00:11:40.960><c> mind</c><00:11:41.100><c> as</c>

00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.480
we<00:11:41.419><c> go</c><00:11:41.700><c> through</c><00:11:42.179><c> our</c><00:11:42.620><c> study.</c>

00:11:44.220 --> 00:11:50.100
But<00:11:44.259><c> this</c><00:11:44.539><c> morning,</c><00:11:45.100><c> let's</c><00:11:45.460><c> just</c><00:11:46.000><c> concentrate</c><00:11:46.580><c> on</c><00:11:47.379><c> John,</c><00:11:48.779><c> the</c><00:11:49.059><c> man,</c>

00:11:50.539 --> 00:11:54.440
and<00:11:51.139><c> we'll</c><00:11:51.399><c> see</c><00:11:51.580><c> surprisingly</c><00:11:52.240><c> that,</c><00:11:53.240><c> or</c><00:11:53.360><c> perhaps</c><00:11:53.639><c> not</c><00:11:53.980><c> surprisingly,</c>

00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:59.200
that<00:11:55.700><c> just</c><00:11:56.220><c> like</c><00:11:56.500><c> us,</c><00:11:57.419><c> he</c><00:11:57.700><c> went</c><00:11:57.960><c> through</c><00:11:58.220><c> a</c><00:11:58.360><c> process</c><00:11:58.980><c> of</c>

character<00:12:00.059><c> development</c>

00:12:00.860 --> 00:12:09.139

00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:17.539
Must<00:12:13.960><c> have</c><00:12:14.100><c> been</c><00:12:14.220><c> an</c><00:12:14.519><c> amazing</c><00:12:15.080><c> and</c><00:12:15.419><c> wonderful</c><00:12:15.919><c> thing</c><00:12:16.419><c> to</c><00:12:17.299><c> have</c>

00:12:21.259 --> 00:12:27.860
It's<00:12:22.320><c> scarcely</c><00:12:23.500><c> comprehensible</c><00:12:24.340><c> to</c><00:12:24.539><c> our</c><00:12:24.840><c> mind</c><00:12:25.279><c> that</c><00:12:25.879><c> this</c><00:12:26.220><c> man</c><00:12:26.620><c> had</c><00:12:26.820><c> such</c><00:12:27.080><c> a</c><00:12:27.279><c> close,</c>

00:12:31.980 --> 00:12:37.460
Even<00:12:32.700><c> to</c><00:12:33.419><c> physically</c><00:12:34.279><c> lying</c><00:12:34.940><c> on</c><00:12:35.120><c> his</c><00:12:36.059><c> chest</c><00:12:36.620><c> at</c><00:12:36.940><c> that</c><00:12:37.220><c> supper,</c>

00:12:37.580 --> 00:12:40.940
I<00:12:37.580><c> mean,</c><00:12:38.399><c> just</c><00:12:38.620><c> think</c><00:12:38.940><c> of</c><00:12:39.080><c> the</c><00:12:39.539><c> incomparable</c><00:12:40.220><c> privilege</c><00:12:40.740><c> of</c>

being<00:12:41.340><c> that</c><00:12:41.779><c> close</c><00:12:41.960><c> to</c><00:12:42.120><c> the</c><00:12:42.240><c> Lord</c>

00:12:42.399 --> 00:12:46.179
that<00:12:42.700><c> you</c><00:12:42.919><c> hear</c><00:12:43.120><c> every</c><00:12:43.639><c> intimate</c><00:12:44.080><c> whisper</c><00:12:44.440><c> around</c><00:12:44.860><c> that</c><00:12:45.220><c> table.</c>

And<00:12:46.340><c> you're</c><00:12:46.679><c> confided</c><00:12:47.220><c> in</c><00:12:47.440><c> by</c><00:12:47.679><c> the</c><00:12:47.840><c> Lord.</c>

00:12:50.659 --> 00:12:56.159
When<00:12:51.220><c> Peter</c><00:12:51.659><c> leans</c><00:12:52.200><c> over</c><00:12:52.419><c> and</c><00:12:52.559><c> whispers,</c><00:12:53.320><c> ask</c><00:12:53.320><c> him,</c><00:12:54.559><c> who</c><00:12:54.580><c> is</c><00:12:54.820><c> it?</c>

00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:59.259
And<00:12:56.580><c> John</c><00:12:56.820><c> is</c><00:12:57.120><c> right</c><00:12:57.419><c> against</c><00:12:57.779><c> Jesus'</c><00:12:58.360><c> ear.</c>

00:12:59.419 --> 00:13:04.820
And<00:12:59.940><c> he</c><00:13:00.120><c> hears</c><00:13:00.500><c> that</c><00:13:01.259><c> intimate</c><00:13:02.360><c> disclosure.</c>

00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:09.720
It<00:13:05.559><c> is</c><00:13:05.799><c> he</c><00:13:06.279><c> to</c><00:13:06.580><c> whom,</c><00:13:06.940><c> when</c><00:13:07.039><c> I've</c><00:13:07.440><c> dipped</c><00:13:07.639><c> the</c><00:13:07.919><c> sock,</c><00:13:08.240><c> I</c><00:13:08.440><c> hand</c><00:13:08.639><c> it.</c>

00:13:10.799 --> 00:13:13.019
You<00:13:11.059><c> can't</c><00:13:11.299><c> get</c><00:13:11.580><c> closer</c><00:13:12.000><c> to</c><00:13:12.279><c> the</c><00:13:12.440><c> Lord</c><00:13:12.600><c> than</c><00:13:12.799><c> that.</c>

00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.720
But<00:13:13.320><c> it</c><00:13:13.440><c> was</c><00:13:13.600><c> a</c><00:13:13.779><c> closeness,</c><00:13:14.240><c> not</c><00:13:14.340><c> only</c><00:13:15.059><c> intimate</c><00:13:15.500><c> and</c><00:13:15.759><c> physical</c><00:13:16.059><c> in</c><00:13:16.220><c> that</c><00:13:16.500><c> sense,</c>

00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:21.100
but<00:13:16.899><c> it</c><00:13:17.100><c> was</c><00:13:17.340><c> one</c><00:13:17.740><c> of</c><00:13:18.919><c> congruency</c><00:13:19.720><c> of</c><00:13:19.960><c> mind.</c>

00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:25.820
But<00:13:22.080><c> as</c><00:13:22.299><c> I</c><00:13:22.379><c> came</c><00:13:22.559><c> to</c><00:13:22.759><c> study</c><00:13:23.019><c> this</c><00:13:23.600><c> subject,</c><00:13:24.519><c> it</c><00:13:24.539><c> struck</c><00:13:25.419><c> me</c>

00:13:25.820 --> 00:13:27.679
that<00:13:26.559><c> John</c><00:13:27.000><c> calls</c><00:13:27.340><c> himself</c>

So<00:15:20.080><c> the</c><00:15:20.240><c> question</c><00:15:20.659><c> is,</c><00:15:21.600><c> who's</c><00:15:21.840><c> your</c><00:15:22.000><c> father?</c>

And<00:21:58.299><c> so</c><00:21:58.579><c> she</c><00:21:58.720><c> runs</c><00:21:59.039><c> and</c><00:21:59.160><c> comes</c><00:21:59.500><c> to</c><00:21:59.740><c> Simon</c><00:21:59.980><c> Peter</c>

00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:10.099
Then<00:22:08.359><c> cometh</c><00:22:08.720><c> Simon</c><00:22:09.119><c> Peter</c><00:22:09.420><c> following</c><00:22:09.799><c> him</c>

00:23:07.140 --> 00:23:12.220
Now,<00:23:07.339><c> he</c><00:23:07.559><c> believed</c><00:23:08.380><c> because</c><00:23:09.039><c> of</c><00:23:09.259><c> the</c><00:23:09.519><c> evidence</c><00:23:10.140><c> of</c><00:23:11.740><c> his</c><00:23:11.980><c> eyes,</c>

00:23:12.460 --> 00:23:13.900
because<00:23:12.539><c> it</c><00:23:12.900><c> says</c><00:23:13.059><c> in</c><00:23:13.220><c> verse</c><00:23:13.460><c> 9,</c>

00:23:20.519 --> 00:23:22.579

00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:37.400
That<00:23:35.900><c> came</c><00:23:36.339><c> later.</c>

00:24:53.819 --> 00:24:55.240
Of<00:24:53.880><c> course,</c><00:24:54.140><c> the</c><00:24:54.200><c> Lord</c><00:24:54.400><c> has</c><00:24:54.660><c> changed.</c>

00:24:55.619 --> 00:24:59.059
All<00:24:56.059><c> the</c><00:24:57.599><c> marks</c><00:24:58.079><c> of</c><00:24:58.500><c> suffering</c>

00:25:10.779 --> 00:25:15.259
in<00:25:10.940><c> which</c><00:25:11.119><c> he</c><00:25:11.400><c> had</c><00:25:12.140><c> carried</c><00:25:12.799><c> that</c><00:25:13.619><c> great</c><00:25:14.200><c> burden</c>

of<00:25:18.440><c> his</c><00:25:18.839><c> ministry</c><00:25:19.259><c> would</c><00:25:19.420><c> have</c><00:25:19.640><c> marked</c><00:25:20.039><c> him</c>

00:25:20.660 --> 00:25:23.359
with<00:25:21.160><c> lines</c><00:25:21.859><c> perhaps</c><00:25:22.259><c> beyond</c><00:25:22.700><c> his</c><00:25:22.920><c> age.</c>

00:25:23.779 --> 00:25:26.259
And<00:25:23.779><c> here</c><00:25:24.079><c> is</c><00:25:24.299><c> this</c><00:25:24.480><c> man</c><00:25:24.740><c> standing</c><00:25:25.059><c> on</c><00:25:25.240><c> the</c><00:25:25.440><c> seashore,</c>

00:25:27.099 --> 00:25:28.160
perfectly<00:25:27.160><c> formed,</c>

00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:30.460

00:25:30.940 --> 00:25:33.099
And<00:25:30.940><c> they</c><00:25:31.240><c> look</c><00:25:31.660><c> and</c><00:25:32.119><c> it's</c><00:25:32.380><c> John</c><00:25:32.680><c> first</c><00:25:33.000><c> says,</c>

00:25:33.259 --> 00:25:34.460
it's<00:25:33.440><c> the</c><00:25:33.539><c> Lord.</c>

00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:37.819
And<00:25:36.059><c> Peter</c><00:25:36.259><c> goes</c><00:25:36.519><c> over</c><00:25:36.799><c> the</c><00:25:36.980><c> side</c><00:25:37.119><c> of</c><00:25:37.279><c> the</c><00:25:37.420><c> ship</c>

00:25:37.819 --> 00:25:42.259
and<00:25:39.079><c> obviously</c><00:25:39.500><c> thinks</c><00:25:39.940><c> to</c><00:25:40.380><c> himself</c><00:25:40.779><c> that</c><00:25:41.319><c> he's</c>

00:25:43.380 --> 00:25:45.940
somehow<00:25:43.940><c> rather</c><00:25:44.339><c> escape</c><00:25:44.859><c> the</c><00:25:45.039><c> rebuke</c><00:25:45.460><c> of</c><00:25:45.519><c> the</c><00:25:45.619><c> Lord</c>

00:25:45.940 --> 00:25:48.720
because<00:25:46.299><c> now</c><00:25:46.720><c> the</c><00:25:46.779><c> Lord</c><00:25:47.119><c> has</c><00:25:47.579><c> appeared</c><00:25:47.779><c> a</c><00:25:47.980><c> third</c><00:25:48.180><c> time</c>

00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:51.799
and<00:25:49.119><c> he</c><00:25:49.319><c> has</c><00:25:49.579><c> not</c><00:25:50.000><c> yet</c><00:25:50.460><c> rebuke</c><00:25:50.859><c> Peter.</c>

00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:57.059
And<00:25:53.720><c> Peter</c><00:25:54.000><c> must</c><00:25:54.259><c> have</c><00:25:54.440><c> thought</c><00:25:54.640><c> over</c><00:25:55.000><c> the</c><00:25:55.180><c> first</c><00:25:55.500><c> two</c><00:25:55.759><c> times,</c>

00:25:57.160 --> 00:26:01.559
you<00:25:58.000><c> know,</c><00:25:58.859><c> he</c><00:25:59.660><c> didn't</c><00:26:00.119><c> give</c><00:26:00.400><c> me</c><00:26:00.740><c> a</c><00:26:00.900><c> dressing</c><00:26:01.099><c> down</c>

00:26:01.559 --> 00:26:02.960
over<00:26:02.019><c> that</c><00:26:02.220><c> night</c><00:26:02.380><c> of</c><00:26:02.579><c> betrayal.</c>

00:26:03.420 --> 00:26:04.920
But<00:26:03.420><c> you</c><00:26:03.640><c> see</c><00:26:03.839><c> Jesus,</c>

00:26:05.380 --> 00:26:08.019
the<00:26:05.559><c> way</c><00:26:05.759><c> he</c><00:26:05.940><c> deals</c><00:26:06.160><c> with</c><00:26:06.339><c> these</c><00:26:06.559><c> men</c><00:26:06.680><c> is</c><00:26:06.859><c> quite</c><00:26:07.079><c> beautiful.</c>

00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:11.019
He<00:26:08.160><c> waits</c><00:26:08.400><c> until</c><00:26:08.640><c> he's</c><00:26:08.880><c> got</c><00:26:09.039><c> Peter</c><00:26:09.359><c> around</c><00:26:09.759><c> a</c><00:26:10.059><c> fire</c>

00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:12.299
again.

00:26:13.420 --> 00:26:15.859
He<00:26:13.420><c> makes</c><00:26:13.759><c> a</c><00:26:13.920><c> fire</c><00:26:14.640><c> of</c><00:26:14.880><c> coals</c><00:26:15.099><c> on</c><00:26:15.240><c> the</c><00:26:15.420><c> shore</c>

00:26:15.859 --> 00:26:19.859
and<00:26:16.119><c> Peter</c><00:26:16.440><c> finds</c><00:26:16.740><c> himself</c><00:26:17.119><c> sitting</c><00:26:17.400><c> around</c><00:26:17.779><c> a</c><00:26:18.000><c> fire</c><00:26:18.559><c> again</c>

00:26:20.319 --> 00:26:22.380
like<00:26:20.839><c> on</c><00:26:21.019><c> the</c><00:26:21.160><c> betrayal</c><00:26:21.480><c> night.</c>

00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:23.779
We<00:26:22.880><c> know</c><00:26:23.059><c> who</c><00:26:23.220><c> you</c><00:26:23.500><c> are.</c>

00:26:24.180 --> 00:26:24.980
You're<00:26:24.240><c> one</c><00:26:24.400><c> of</c><00:26:24.400><c> his</c><00:26:24.640><c> disciples.</c>

00:26:25.220 --> 00:26:26.640
I<00:26:25.220><c> know,</c><00:26:25.559><c> I'd</c><00:26:25.720><c> never</c><00:26:26.039><c> heard</c><00:26:26.279><c> of</c><00:26:26.319><c> him.</c>

00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:29.440
And<00:26:27.180><c> eventually</c><00:26:27.799><c> after</c><00:26:28.180><c> three</c><00:26:28.799><c> interrogations</c>

00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:31.259
he<00:26:29.640><c> cursed</c><00:26:29.960><c> and</c><00:26:30.259><c> swore</c><00:26:30.440><c> he</c><00:26:30.519><c> never</c><00:26:30.740><c> knew</c><00:26:30.920><c> the</c><00:26:31.059><c> man.</c>

00:26:31.700 --> 00:26:34.079
Now<00:26:31.880><c> he's</c><00:26:32.319><c> around</c><00:26:32.579><c> a</c><00:26:32.839><c> fire</c><00:26:33.039><c> again.</c>

00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:36.279
But<00:26:34.799><c> this</c><00:26:35.039><c> time</c><00:26:35.200><c> it's</c><00:26:35.400><c> just</c><00:26:35.599><c> a</c><00:26:35.799><c> gentle,</c>

00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:40.619
Peter,<00:26:38.039><c> do</c><00:26:38.240><c> you</c><00:26:38.359><c> love</c><00:26:38.579><c> me</c><00:26:39.240><c> more</c><00:26:39.500><c> than</c><00:26:39.599><c> this?</c>

00:26:41.420 --> 00:26:44.339
You<00:26:41.460><c> see,</c><00:26:42.380><c> it's</c><00:26:43.180><c> a</c><00:26:43.480><c> question</c><00:26:43.839><c> of</c><00:26:43.980><c> love.</c>

00:26:44.779 --> 00:26:47.400
John's<00:26:45.079><c> already</c><00:26:45.380><c> described</c><00:26:45.859><c> himself</c><00:26:46.259><c> as</c><00:26:46.440><c> the</c><00:26:46.880><c> disciple</c>

00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:48.859
whom<00:26:48.000><c> Jesus</c><00:26:48.500><c> loved.</c>

00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:53.960
Peter<00:26:49.400><c> has</c><00:26:49.740><c> also</c><00:26:50.240><c> to</c><00:26:50.380><c> go</c><00:26:50.539><c> through</c><00:26:50.740><c> this</c><00:26:51.440><c> great</c><00:26:52.220><c> change</c><00:26:53.019><c> of</c><00:26:53.460><c> character</c>

00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:55.940
which<00:26:54.559><c> Jesus</c><00:26:55.000><c> was,</c>

00:26:56.700 --> 00:27:01.579
that<00:26:57.319><c> process</c><00:26:58.140><c> which</c><00:26:58.359><c> Jesus</c><00:26:58.720><c> was</c><00:26:58.960><c> applying</c><00:26:59.319><c> to</c><00:26:59.539><c> all</c><00:26:59.880><c> of</c><00:27:00.019><c> them.</c>

00:27:01.779 --> 00:27:04.619
Wonderfully<00:27:02.440><c> gentle</c><00:27:03.259><c> but</c><00:27:03.660><c> firm</c><00:27:04.180><c> way</c>

00:27:04.619 --> 00:27:07.460
the<00:27:04.980><c> Lord</c><00:27:05.440><c> nurtured</c><00:27:06.079><c> those</c><00:27:06.339><c> men.</c>

00:27:09.259 --> 00:27:13.900
Now,<00:27:11.480><c> we</c><00:27:11.700><c> could</c><00:27:11.980><c> spend</c><00:27:12.200><c> time</c><00:27:12.519><c> exploring</c><00:27:12.980><c> a</c><00:27:12.980><c> lot</c><00:27:13.299><c> about</c><00:27:13.559><c> John</c>

00:27:13.900 --> 00:27:15.000
but<00:27:14.079><c> we</c><00:27:14.579><c> can't.</c>

00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:17.059
We'll<00:27:15.200><c> just</c><00:27:15.339><c> have</c><00:27:15.559><c> to</c><00:27:15.759><c> shortcut</c><00:27:16.200><c> it</c><00:27:16.420><c> all.</c>

00:27:17.180 --> 00:27:21.700
But<00:27:17.259><c> curiosity</c><00:27:18.240><c> sort</c><00:27:18.900><c> of</c><00:27:19.180><c> draws</c><00:27:19.460><c> us</c><00:27:20.000><c> on</c><00:27:20.579><c> with</c><00:27:20.859><c> John.</c>

00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:24.819
For<00:27:21.940><c> example,</c><00:27:22.420><c> he</c><00:27:22.420><c> came</c><00:27:22.759><c> from</c><00:27:22.980><c> a</c><00:27:23.079><c> terribly</c><00:27:23.579><c> prosperous</c><00:27:24.160><c> family.</c>

00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:27.319
His<00:27:25.039><c> father</c><00:27:25.359><c> owned</c><00:27:25.579><c> a</c><00:27:25.720><c> whole</c><00:27:25.940><c> fleet</c><00:27:26.140><c> of</c><00:27:26.359><c> boats,</c>

had<00:27:27.839><c> hired</c><00:27:28.160><c> servants.</c>

00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:32.539

00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:35.339
but<00:27:33.779><c> he</c><00:27:34.019><c> himself</c><00:27:34.480><c> doesn't</c><00:27:34.839><c> feature.</c>

00:27:37.420 --> 00:27:38.579
Salome.

00:27:39.420 --> 00:27:41.759
She<00:27:39.460><c> was</c><00:27:39.660><c> a</c><00:27:39.900><c> faithful</c><00:27:40.380><c> woman</c><00:27:40.740><c> who</c><00:27:40.880><c> followed</c><00:27:41.240><c> Jesus.</c>

00:27:42.180 --> 00:27:44.680
She<00:27:42.319><c> was</c><00:27:42.539><c> among</c><00:27:42.819><c> that</c><00:27:43.160><c> elite</c><00:27:43.619><c> little</c><00:27:43.960><c> group</c><00:27:44.259><c> of</c><00:27:44.400><c> women</c>

00:27:44.680 --> 00:27:46.980
who<00:27:44.819><c> followed</c><00:27:45.180><c> him</c><00:27:45.559><c> from</c><00:27:45.880><c> Galilee.</c>

00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:49.720
How<00:27:47.819><c> did</c><00:27:48.000><c> he</c><00:27:48.160><c> know</c><00:27:48.319><c> the</c><00:27:48.440><c> High</c><00:27:48.720><c> Priest?</c>

00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:52.880
On<00:27:50.059><c> the</c><00:27:50.200><c> night</c><00:27:50.339><c> of</c><00:27:50.480><c> the</c><00:27:50.619><c> betrayal,</c><00:27:51.200><c> it's</c><00:27:51.259><c> most</c><00:27:51.640><c> extraordinary.</c>

00:27:53.380 --> 00:27:58.240
But<00:27:53.460><c> here</c><00:27:53.700><c> is</c><00:27:53.960><c> Jesus</c><00:27:54.619><c> being</c><00:27:56.220><c> asked</c><00:27:56.819><c> questions</c><00:27:57.359><c> by</c><00:27:57.559><c> the</c><00:27:57.740><c> High</c><00:27:57.980><c> Priest</c>

00:27:58.240 --> 00:28:01.259

00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:06.240
Peter<00:28:04.619><c> has</c><00:28:04.740><c> been</c><00:28:05.039><c> interrogated.</c>

00:28:06.299 --> 00:28:07.420
You're<00:28:06.519><c> one</c><00:28:06.680><c> of</c><00:28:06.759><c> his</c><00:28:06.960><c> disciples?</c>

Of<00:28:07.859><c> course</c><00:28:07.920><c> you</c><00:28:08.099><c> are.</c>

00:28:08.619 --> 00:28:09.400
Another<00:28:08.740><c> one</c><00:28:08.880><c> comes</c><00:28:09.119><c> along.</c>

00:28:09.740 --> 00:28:11.099
Yes,<00:28:10.259><c> your</c><00:28:10.299><c> speech</c><00:28:10.539><c> betrays</c><00:28:11.019><c> you.</c>

00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:12.819
Another<00:28:11.339><c> one</c><00:28:11.539><c> comes</c><00:28:11.740><c> along</c><00:28:12.000><c> and</c><00:28:12.039><c> says,</c>

00:28:12.859 --> 00:28:15.859
you<00:28:12.920><c> were,</c><00:28:13.519><c> you</c><00:28:13.660><c> were</c><00:28:13.839><c> in</c><00:28:13.980><c> the</c><00:28:14.140><c> garden,</c><00:28:14.460><c> I</c><00:28:14.680><c> saw</c><00:28:14.920><c> you.</c>

00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:18.440
Whereas<00:28:16.740><c> John's</c><00:28:17.099><c> just</c><00:28:17.339><c> standing</c><00:28:17.599><c> there.</c>

00:28:18.579 --> 00:28:19.460
So<00:28:18.759><c> he</c><00:28:18.900><c> owns</c><00:28:19.079><c> the</c><00:28:19.339><c> place.</c>

00:28:19.819 --> 00:28:23.519
When<00:28:19.900><c> Peter</c><00:28:21.380><c> comes</c><00:28:22.099><c> to</c><00:28:22.319><c> the</c><00:28:22.480><c> outer</c><00:28:22.720><c> servant's</c><00:28:23.220><c> gate</c>

and<00:28:24.359><c> they</c><00:28:24.480><c> wouldn't</c><00:28:24.660><c> let</c><00:28:24.839><c> him</c><00:28:25.019><c> in,</c>

00:28:25.859 --> 00:28:27.259
it's<00:28:26.039><c> John</c><00:28:26.319><c> who</c><00:28:26.460><c> goes</c><00:28:26.700><c> down</c><00:28:26.880><c> to</c><00:28:27.000><c> the</c><00:28:27.099><c> gate</c>

00:28:27.259 --> 00:28:29.180
and<00:28:27.400><c> tells</c><00:28:27.640><c> the</c><00:28:27.920><c> servants,</c><00:28:28.319><c> it's</c><00:28:28.380><c> all</c><00:28:28.480><c> right,</c><00:28:28.579><c> let</c><00:28:28.759><c> him</c><00:28:28.920><c> in.</c>

00:28:29.180 --> 00:28:32.420
John<00:28:29.940><c> tells</c><00:28:30.640><c> them</c><00:28:31.200><c> to</c><00:28:31.200><c> let</c><00:28:31.460><c> him</c><00:28:31.640><c> in.</c>

00:28:34.579 --> 00:28:36.640
And<00:28:35.099><c> we</c><00:28:35.619><c> haven't</c><00:28:35.799><c> got</c><00:28:35.940><c> the</c><00:28:36.059><c> answers</c><00:28:36.420><c> to</c><00:28:36.539><c> that.</c>

00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:38.500
We<00:28:36.759><c> don't</c><00:28:37.079><c> know</c><00:28:37.420><c> about</c><00:28:37.619><c> this</c><00:28:37.839><c> relationship</c>

00:28:38.500 --> 00:28:41.200
that<00:28:39.079><c> John</c><00:28:39.819><c> had</c><00:28:40.579><c> with</c><00:28:40.779><c> High</c><00:28:41.000><c> Priest.</c>

00:28:41.339 --> 00:28:43.140
But<00:28:41.359><c> as</c><00:28:41.680><c> we</c><00:28:41.779><c> go</c><00:28:42.019><c> through</c><00:28:42.259><c> the</c><00:28:42.420><c> Acts</c><00:28:42.599><c> of</c><00:28:42.700><c> the</c><00:28:42.839><c> Apostles,</c>

00:28:45.759 --> 00:28:48.779
we<00:28:45.819><c> find</c><00:28:46.259><c> that</c><00:28:46.660><c> association</c><00:28:47.240><c> was</c><00:28:47.880><c> totally</c><00:28:48.359><c> broken</c>

00:28:51.960 --> 00:28:55.000
And<00:28:52.039><c> at</c><00:28:52.240><c> least</c><00:28:52.519><c> twice</c><00:28:52.940><c> in</c><00:28:53.200><c> chapter</c><00:28:53.640><c> five,</c>

00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:06.559
And<00:29:04.920><c> here</c><00:29:05.099><c> was</c><00:29:05.299><c> Peter</c><00:29:05.539><c> and</c><00:29:05.599><c> John</c><00:29:05.960><c> standing</c><00:29:06.299><c> up</c>

00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:08.240

00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:11.740
And<00:29:10.279><c> they</c><00:29:10.460><c> were</c><00:29:10.599><c> brought</c><00:29:10.720><c> before</c><00:29:11.019><c> the</c><00:29:11.180><c> High</c><00:29:11.420><c> Priest</c>

00:29:11.740 --> 00:29:13.619
and<00:29:12.299><c> rebuked</c><00:29:12.779><c> and</c><00:29:12.839><c> told</c><00:29:13.099><c> not</c><00:29:13.240><c> to</c><00:29:13.500><c> speak.</c>

00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:16.279
We<00:29:13.779><c> ought</c><00:29:14.000><c> to</c><00:29:14.140><c> obey</c><00:29:14.259><c> God</c><00:29:14.539><c> rather</c><00:29:14.819><c> than</c><00:29:15.039><c> men,</c><00:29:15.920><c> they</c><00:29:16.180><c> said.</c>

00:29:16.660 --> 00:29:18.779
So<00:29:16.759><c> John,</c><00:29:17.160><c> whatever</c><00:29:17.380><c> association</c><00:29:18.099><c> and</c><00:29:18.420><c> friendship</c>

00:29:18.779 --> 00:29:21.359
John<00:29:19.059><c> had</c><00:29:19.279><c> with</c><00:29:19.460><c> the</c><00:29:19.579><c> High</c><00:29:19.819><c> Priest,</c><00:29:20.599><c> who</c><00:29:20.799><c> knows?</c>

00:29:21.839 --> 00:29:23.839
Relationship?<00:29:22.720><c> Maybe</c><00:29:23.019><c> he</c><00:29:23.279><c> sold</c><00:29:23.400><c> him</c><00:29:23.660><c> fish?</c>

00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:25.099
I<00:29:24.059><c> don't</c><00:29:24.319><c> know.</c><00:29:24.539><c> No</c><00:29:24.700><c> one</c><00:29:24.819><c> knows.</c>

00:29:25.099 --> 00:29:28.900
But<00:29:25.460><c> he</c><00:29:25.619><c> certainly</c><00:29:26.099><c> had</c><00:29:27.039><c> this</c><00:29:27.539><c> relationship.</c>

00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:31.759
But<00:29:29.039><c> it</c><00:29:29.180><c> was</c><00:29:29.859><c> broken</c><00:29:30.259><c> and</c><00:29:30.640><c> totally</c><00:29:31.200><c> polarized</c>

00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:33.740
on<00:29:31.920><c> the</c><00:29:32.019><c> basis</c><00:29:32.460><c> of</c><00:29:33.000><c> the</c><00:29:33.200><c> resurrection</c>

00:29:33.740 --> 00:29:35.359
and<00:29:33.920><c> the</c><00:29:34.099><c> risen</c><00:29:34.299><c> Christ.</c>

00:29:35.440 --> 00:29:38.160
So<00:29:35.440><c> these</c><00:29:35.680><c> are</c><00:29:35.900><c> all</c><00:29:36.059><c> very</c><00:29:36.319><c> interesting</c><00:29:37.039><c> side</c><00:29:37.759><c> issues</c>

00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:39.819
which<00:29:38.339><c> we</c><00:29:38.559><c> can't</c><00:29:38.900><c> explore.</c>

00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:42.660
So<00:29:39.839><c> let's</c><00:29:40.220><c> go</c><00:29:40.960><c> to</c><00:29:41.259><c> have</c><00:29:41.380><c> a</c><00:29:41.440><c> look</c><00:29:41.519><c> at</c><00:29:41.559><c> his</c><00:29:41.779><c> character.</c>

00:29:43.180 --> 00:29:44.700
And<00:29:43.200><c> we</c><00:29:43.359><c> get</c><00:29:43.480><c> a</c><00:29:43.619><c> surprise.</c>

00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:48.960
Because<00:29:46.000><c> in</c><00:29:46.579><c> Mark</c><00:29:46.859><c> chapter</c><00:29:47.119><c> three</c><00:29:47.440><c> we</c><00:29:47.680><c> learn</c>

And<00:31:45.660><c> Jesus</c><00:31:45.980><c> said</c><00:31:46.200><c> unto</c><00:31:46.420><c> him,</c><00:31:47.400><c> forbid</c><00:31:47.660><c> him</c><00:31:47.900><c> not,</c>

00:31:51.220 --> 00:31:53.240
Now,<00:31:51.579><c> brothers</c><00:31:51.660><c> and</c><00:31:51.819><c> sisters,</c><00:31:52.000><c> we've</c><00:31:52.240><c> got</c><00:31:52.359><c> no</c><00:31:52.680><c> idea</c>

But<00:31:58.220><c> it's</c><00:31:58.440><c> a</c><00:31:58.519><c> little</c><00:31:58.680><c> lesson</c><00:31:58.980><c> to</c><00:31:59.240><c> us,</c><00:31:59.480><c> you</c><00:31:59.660><c> see,</c>

00:32:01.420 --> 00:32:03.660
because<00:32:01.940><c> sometimes</c><00:32:02.460><c> in</c><00:32:02.799><c> life</c><00:32:03.200><c> today,</c>

00:32:03.720 --> 00:32:04.980

00:32:04.980 --> 00:32:09.359
we<00:32:05.279><c> go</c><00:32:05.839><c> off</c><00:32:06.619><c> without</c><00:32:08.180><c> enough</c><00:32:08.740><c> information</c>

00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:17.799
And<00:32:13.839><c> it's</c><00:32:14.200><c> quite</c><00:32:14.460><c> obviously</c><00:32:14.880><c> that</c><00:32:15.299><c> James</c><00:32:15.619><c> and</c><00:32:15.980><c> Jesus</c><00:32:16.460><c> knew</c><00:32:16.759><c> something.</c>

00:32:18.180 --> 00:32:21.700
Jesus<00:32:18.539><c> knew</c><00:32:18.799><c> something</c><00:32:19.200><c> that</c><00:32:19.500><c> they</c><00:32:19.799><c> didn't.</c>

00:32:22.000 --> 00:32:25.079
And<00:32:22.200><c> they</c><00:32:22.460><c> ought</c><00:32:22.740><c> not</c><00:32:23.079><c> to</c><00:32:23.279><c> have</c><00:32:23.440><c> been</c><00:32:23.599><c> so</c><00:32:24.299><c> swift.</c>

What<00:32:25.500><c> they</c><00:32:25.720><c> should</c><00:32:25.900><c> have</c><00:32:26.000><c> done</c><00:32:26.200><c> is</c><00:32:26.380><c> come</c><00:32:26.599><c> to</c><00:32:26.720><c> Jesus</c><00:32:27.039><c> and</c><00:32:27.440><c> say,</c>

Jesus,<00:32:28.259><c> we</c><00:32:28.299><c> don't</c><00:32:28.480><c> know</c><00:32:28.539><c> if</c><00:32:28.660><c> there's</c><00:32:28.880><c> a</c><00:32:29.039><c> man</c><00:32:29.440><c> over</c><00:32:29.779><c> there</c>

00:32:30.140 --> 00:32:31.720
who<00:32:30.420><c> says</c><00:32:30.480><c> he's</c><00:32:30.759><c> working</c><00:32:31.079><c> in</c><00:32:31.259><c> your</c><00:32:31.440><c> name.</c>

00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:33.039
Tell<00:32:32.440><c> us</c><00:32:32.660><c> about</c><00:32:32.880><c> it.</c>

00:32:33.039 --> 00:32:34.059
But<00:32:33.200><c> no,</c><00:32:33.380><c> what</c><00:32:33.559><c> do</c><00:32:33.660><c> they</c><00:32:33.779><c> do?</c>

00:32:34.059 --> 00:32:37.220
Oh,<00:32:34.900><c> we</c><00:32:35.099><c> told</c><00:32:35.259><c> him,</c><00:32:35.920><c> hey,</c><00:32:36.059><c> get</c><00:32:36.180><c> out</c><00:32:36.359><c> of</c><00:32:36.440><c> it,</c><00:32:36.599><c> stop</c><00:32:36.839><c> that.</c>

00:32:37.700 --> 00:32:41.559
So<00:32:37.819><c> they</c><00:32:38.019><c> just</c><00:32:38.279><c> took</c><00:32:38.460><c> it</c><00:32:38.720><c> on</c><00:32:38.819><c> their</c><00:32:39.079><c> own</c><00:32:39.759><c> authority</c><00:32:40.940><c> to</c><00:32:41.339><c> act</c>

00:32:41.559 --> 00:32:42.079
for<00:32:41.759><c> Jesus.</c>

00:32:42.279 --> 00:32:44.799
Jesus<00:32:42.519><c> says,</c><00:32:43.460><c> you</c><00:32:43.539><c> leave</c><00:32:43.759><c> him</c><00:32:43.960><c> alone.</c>

00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:48.059
There's<00:32:45.960><c> something</c><00:32:46.220><c> I</c><00:32:46.440><c> know</c><00:32:46.660><c> about</c><00:32:46.859><c> him</c><00:32:47.019><c> that</c><00:32:47.140><c> you</c><00:32:47.400><c> don't.</c>

00:32:48.359 --> 00:32:49.000
For<00:32:48.539><c> all</c><00:32:48.680><c> we</c><00:32:48.839><c> know,</c>

00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:51.740
Jesus<00:32:49.240><c> might</c><00:32:49.460><c> have</c><00:32:49.640><c> given</c><00:32:49.759><c> him</c><00:32:50.019><c> the</c><00:32:50.200><c> authority</c><00:32:50.559><c> to</c><00:32:50.940><c> do</c><00:32:51.059><c> that.</c>

00:32:52.200 --> 00:32:53.539
But<00:32:52.359><c> see,</c><00:32:52.539><c> that's</c><00:32:52.859><c> James</c><00:32:53.140><c> and</c><00:32:53.299><c> John.</c>

00:32:53.660 --> 00:32:55.599
They<00:32:53.819><c> go</c><00:32:54.599><c> swearing</c><00:32:55.259><c> up.</c>

00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:58.259
And<00:32:56.200><c> this</c><00:32:56.380><c> happens</c><00:32:56.779><c> more</c><00:32:57.119><c> than</c><00:32:57.299><c> once.</c>

00:32:58.480 --> 00:33:02.859
It's<00:32:58.900><c> rather</c><00:32:59.180><c> amazing</c><00:32:59.700><c> that</c><00:33:00.740><c> these</c><00:33:01.259><c> fellows</c><00:33:01.660><c> act</c><00:33:02.000><c> like</c><00:33:02.380><c> this</c>

00:33:02.859 --> 00:33:06.180
when<00:33:03.240><c> just</c><00:33:04.140><c> before,</c><00:33:04.579><c> they're</c><00:33:04.819><c> coming</c><00:33:05.019><c> down</c><00:33:05.500><c> from</c><00:33:05.920><c> the</c><00:33:05.980><c> Mount</c>

00:33:06.180 --> 00:33:07.140
of<00:33:06.380><c> Transfiguration</c>

00:33:07.140 --> 00:33:08.900
down<00:33:07.420><c> to</c><00:33:07.619><c> Capernaum</c><00:33:08.079><c> here</c><00:33:08.319><c> in</c><00:33:08.400><c> this</c><00:33:08.619><c> record</c>

00:33:08.900 --> 00:33:10.559
when<00:33:09.079><c> you</c><00:33:09.500><c> follow</c><00:33:09.779><c> the</c><00:33:09.960><c> life</c><00:33:10.099><c> of</c><00:33:10.240><c> Christ.</c>

00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:13.480
And<00:33:10.960><c> they</c><00:33:11.220><c> had</c><00:33:11.299><c> just</c><00:33:12.140><c> failed,</c>

00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:16.500
failed<00:33:14.200><c> to</c><00:33:14.599><c> heal</c><00:33:14.819><c> an</c><00:33:15.039><c> epileptic</c><00:33:15.460><c> boy</c>

00:33:16.539 --> 00:33:18.480
at<00:33:16.940><c> the</c><00:33:17.079><c> foot</c><00:33:17.160><c> of</c><00:33:17.319><c> the</c><00:33:17.380><c> Mount</c><00:33:17.460><c> when</c><00:33:17.619><c> Jesus</c><00:33:17.940><c> comes</c><00:33:18.220><c> down.</c>

00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:20.720
What<00:33:18.680><c> an</c><00:33:19.000><c> incredible,</c><00:33:19.420><c> I</c><00:33:19.579><c> mean,</c><00:33:19.759><c> we</c><00:33:19.819><c> do</c><00:33:19.960><c> this</c><00:33:20.160><c> all</c><00:33:20.339><c> the</c><00:33:20.539><c> time,</c>

00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:21.099
don't<00:33:20.940><c> we?</c>

00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:22.059
In<00:33:21.339><c> life,</c><00:33:21.619><c> brothers</c><00:33:21.720><c> and</c><00:33:21.859><c> sisters.</c>

00:33:22.279 --> 00:33:24.619
I<00:33:22.380><c> mean,</c><00:33:22.599><c> we</c><00:33:23.079><c> just</c><00:33:23.339><c> ignore</c><00:33:23.740><c> our</c><00:33:24.019><c> own</c><00:33:24.299><c> failings.</c>

00:33:24.839 --> 00:33:27.039
And<00:33:25.059><c> off</c><00:33:25.220><c> we</c><00:33:25.440><c> go</c><00:33:25.640><c> and</c><00:33:25.759><c> try</c><00:33:25.940><c> and</c><00:33:26.099><c> fix</c><00:33:26.200><c> somebody</c><00:33:26.579><c> else</c><00:33:26.859><c> up.</c>

00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:29.160
And<00:33:27.799><c> they</c><00:33:27.960><c> were</c><00:33:28.140><c> exactly</c><00:33:28.519><c> the</c><00:33:28.779><c> same.</c>

00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:33.460
They<00:33:30.099><c> had</c><00:33:30.539><c> failed</c><00:33:31.039><c> to</c><00:33:32.440><c> heal</c><00:33:32.700><c> that</c><00:33:32.940><c> epileptic.</c>

00:33:33.700 --> 00:33:36.420
Jesus<00:33:34.000><c> says,</c><00:33:35.319><c> you</c><00:33:35.599><c> of</c><00:33:35.920><c> little</c><00:33:36.200><c> faith,</c>

00:33:36.619 --> 00:33:39.339
how<00:33:36.680><c> long</c><00:33:36.900><c> am</c><00:33:37.119><c> I</c><00:33:37.119><c> going</c><00:33:37.319><c> to</c><00:33:38.220><c> bear</c><00:33:38.380><c> with</c><00:33:38.640><c> you?</c>

00:33:39.400 --> 00:33:40.119
And<00:33:39.519><c> he</c><00:33:39.640><c> healed</c><00:33:39.859><c> that.</c>

00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:43.420
So<00:33:40.480><c> off</c><00:33:40.740><c> they</c><00:33:40.880><c> go</c><00:33:41.079><c> and</c><00:33:41.220><c> they're</c><00:33:41.480><c> on</c><00:33:41.759><c> the</c><00:33:41.920><c> road</c><00:33:42.059><c> down</c><00:33:42.259><c> to</c><00:33:42.420><c> Capernaum.</c>

00:33:43.740 --> 00:33:50.259
And<00:33:43.759><c> you</c><00:33:44.019><c> see,</c><00:33:46.640><c> it</c><00:33:46.779><c> shows</c><00:33:47.259><c> that</c><00:33:48.420><c> these</c><00:33:48.940><c> two</c><00:33:49.180><c> men</c><00:33:49.519><c> have</c><00:33:49.839><c> a</c><00:33:50.000><c> lot</c>

00:33:50.259 --> 00:33:51.359
to<00:33:50.559><c> learn.</c>

00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:53.759
They're<00:33:51.700><c> quite</c><00:33:52.140><c> unaware</c><00:33:52.920><c> of</c><00:33:53.039><c> their</c><00:33:53.259><c> own</c><00:33:53.519><c> failings</c>

00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:55.160
and<00:33:53.900><c> they're</c><00:33:54.079><c> ordering</c><00:33:54.279><c> other</c><00:33:54.579><c> people</c><00:33:54.859><c> around.</c>

00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:59.980
And<00:33:56.039><c> what's</c><00:33:56.519><c> more,</c><00:33:59.220><c> it</c><00:33:59.380><c> gets</c><00:33:59.700><c> worse.</c>

00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:01.299
He<00:34:00.140><c> sent</c><00:34:00.400><c> messages</c><00:34:00.799><c> before</c>

00:34:01.299 --> 00:34:03.160
and<00:34:01.480><c> they</c><00:34:01.619><c> go</c><00:34:01.759><c> into</c><00:34:01.980><c> the</c><00:34:02.059><c> village</c><00:34:02.319><c> of</c><00:34:02.480><c> the</c><00:34:02.640><c> Samaritans</c>

00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:04.819
to<00:34:03.339><c> make</c><00:34:03.480><c> ready</c><00:34:03.759><c> for</c><00:34:03.960><c> him,</c><00:34:04.200><c> verse</c><00:34:04.359><c> 52,</c>

00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:07.319
but<00:34:05.039><c> the</c><00:34:05.200><c> Samaritans</c><00:34:05.680><c> wouldn't</c><00:34:06.240><c> receive</c><00:34:06.759><c> him</c>

00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:10.320
because<00:34:07.859><c> his</c><00:34:08.119><c> face</c><00:34:08.340><c> was</c><00:34:08.559><c> as</c><00:34:08.719><c> though</c><00:34:08.840><c> he</c><00:34:08.880><c> would</c><00:34:09.039><c> go</c><00:34:09.260><c> to</c><00:34:09.480><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:34:10.820 --> 00:34:13.019
And<00:34:10.840><c> when</c><00:34:11.019><c> his</c><00:34:11.239><c> disciples,</c><00:34:11.820><c> James</c><00:34:12.179><c> and</c><00:34:12.320><c> John,</c><00:34:12.679><c> saw</c><00:34:12.860><c> this,</c>

00:34:13.179 --> 00:34:15.539
they<00:34:13.199><c> said,</c><00:34:13.519><c> Lord,</c><00:34:14.059><c> will</c><00:34:14.139><c> thou</c><00:34:14.320><c> that</c><00:34:14.500><c> we</c><00:34:14.739><c> command</c><00:34:15.159><c> fire</c>

00:34:15.539 --> 00:34:17.440
to<00:34:15.739><c> come</c><00:34:15.940><c> down</c><00:34:16.179><c> from</c><00:34:16.340><c> heaven</c><00:34:16.599><c> and</c><00:34:16.820><c> consume</c><00:34:17.219><c> them,</c>

00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:18.639
even<00:34:17.699><c> as</c><00:34:18.000><c> Elijah</c><00:34:18.380><c> did.</c>

00:34:18.679 --> 00:34:21.980
So<00:34:18.840><c> they're</c><00:34:19.079><c> quoting</c><00:34:19.239><c> the</c><00:34:19.460><c> Bible</c><00:34:19.800><c> now</c><00:34:20.059><c> to</c><00:34:20.280><c> justify</c><00:34:20.780><c> their</c><00:34:21.059><c> actions.</c>

00:34:22.219 --> 00:34:23.880
But<00:34:22.460><c> he</c><00:34:22.659><c> turned</c><00:34:22.840><c> and</c><00:34:23.079><c> rebuked</c><00:34:23.360><c> them</c><00:34:23.579><c> and</c><00:34:23.699><c> said,</c>

00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:26.500
You<00:34:24.059><c> don't</c><00:34:24.380><c> know</c><00:34:24.639><c> what</c><00:34:25.039><c> spirit</c><00:34:25.440><c> you're</c><00:34:25.739><c> of.</c>

00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:29.239
You<00:34:26.659><c> don't</c><00:34:27.039><c> know</c><00:34:27.219><c> what</c><00:34:27.360><c> you're</c><00:34:27.539><c> talking</c><00:34:27.800><c> about,</c><00:34:28.340><c> you</c><00:34:28.440><c> two.</c>

00:34:29.500 --> 00:34:31.880
For<00:34:29.539><c> the</c><00:34:29.679><c> Son</c><00:34:29.880><c> of</c><00:34:30.039><c> Man</c><00:34:30.199><c> has</c><00:34:30.380><c> not</c><00:34:30.599><c> come</c><00:34:30.840><c> to</c><00:34:30.980><c> destroy</c><00:34:31.300><c> men's</c><00:34:31.719><c> lives</c>

00:34:31.880 --> 00:34:32.800
but<00:34:32.059><c> to</c><00:34:32.320><c> save</c><00:34:32.559><c> them.</c>

00:34:32.980 --> 00:34:34.659
And<00:34:32.980><c> he</c><00:34:33.099><c> went</c><00:34:33.300><c> to</c><00:34:33.480><c> another</c><00:34:33.739><c> village.</c>

00:34:35.219 --> 00:34:38.280
Well,<00:34:35.519><c> they</c><00:34:35.820><c> certainly</c><00:34:36.179><c> did</c><00:34:36.480><c> not</c><00:34:36.719><c> know</c><00:34:37.059><c> what</c><00:34:37.440><c> spirit</c><00:34:37.719><c> they</c><00:34:37.960><c> were</c><00:34:38.139><c> of</c>

00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:40.639
because<00:34:38.579><c> if</c><00:34:38.780><c> they</c><00:34:38.960><c> knew</c><00:34:39.159><c> their</c><00:34:39.360><c> Bible</c><00:34:39.699><c> as</c><00:34:39.960><c> well</c><00:34:40.159><c> as</c><00:34:40.280><c> Jesus,</c>

00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:41.880
they<00:34:40.820><c> wouldn't</c><00:34:41.039><c> have</c><00:34:41.219><c> made</c><00:34:41.340><c> that</c><00:34:41.519><c> mistake.</c>

00:34:42.059 --> 00:34:44.179

And<00:36:11.380><c> the</c><00:36:11.619><c> angel</c><00:36:12.280><c> of</c><00:36:12.559><c> the</c><00:36:12.880><c> Lord</c><00:36:13.360><c> said</c><00:36:13.800><c> to</c><00:36:14.039><c> Elijah,</c>

00:36:26.780 --> 00:36:29.460
You<00:36:26.900><c> don't</c><00:36:27.219><c> know</c><00:36:27.559><c> what</c><00:36:27.900><c> you're</c><00:36:28.179><c> talking</c><00:36:28.539><c> about,</c><00:36:29.039><c> says</c><00:36:29.139><c> Jesus.</c>

00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:36.400
That<00:36:34.460><c> the</c><00:36:34.639><c> God</c><00:36:34.800><c> of</c><00:36:34.980><c> mercy,</c><00:36:35.440><c> when</c><00:36:35.599><c> that</c><00:36:35.840><c> man</c><00:36:36.099><c> came</c>

00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:39.099

00:36:39.099 --> 00:36:42.440
before<00:36:39.340><c> Elijah,</c><00:36:39.780><c> God</c><00:36:40.059><c> said,</c><00:36:40.599><c> Go</c><00:36:40.619><c> with</c><00:36:40.800><c> him.</c>

00:36:44.099 --> 00:36:45.840
So<00:36:44.119><c> you</c><00:36:44.300><c> see</c><00:36:44.519><c> these</c><00:36:44.739><c> two</c><00:36:44.980><c> men.</c>

00:36:45.940 --> 00:36:47.639
They're<00:36:46.139><c> fiery</c><00:36:46.320><c> all</c><00:36:46.579><c> right.</c>

00:36:47.980 --> 00:36:49.699
They're<00:36:48.320><c> sons</c><00:36:48.619><c> of</c><00:36:48.800><c> thunder.</c>

00:36:49.780 --> 00:36:51.820
And<00:36:49.880><c> they've</c><00:36:50.199><c> got</c><00:36:50.780><c> a</c><00:36:50.980><c> lot</c><00:36:51.260><c> to</c><00:36:51.539><c> learn.</c>

00:36:52.320 --> 00:36:54.519
Not<00:36:52.440><c> only</c><00:36:52.719><c> so,</c><00:36:53.099><c> but</c><00:36:53.239><c> they're</c><00:36:53.500><c> ambitious.</c>

00:36:55.360 --> 00:36:57.820
And<00:36:55.460><c> not</c><00:36:55.599><c> only</c><00:36:55.860><c> so,</c><00:36:56.480><c> but</c><00:36:56.539><c> they're</c><00:36:56.840><c> fairly,</c>

00:36:59.019 --> 00:37:01.000
if<00:36:59.219><c> not</c><00:36:59.500><c> devious,</c><00:36:59.920><c> that's</c><00:37:00.179><c> probably</c><00:37:00.420><c> the</c><00:37:00.599><c> wrong</c><00:37:00.780><c> word,</c>

00:37:01.039 --> 00:37:03.099
but<00:37:01.179><c> they're</c><00:37:01.519><c> certainly</c><00:37:01.800><c> contriving</c><00:37:02.440><c> because</c><00:37:02.780><c> they</c><00:37:02.940><c> get</c>

00:37:03.099 --> 00:37:03.679

00:37:06.300 --> 00:37:09.760
We<00:37:06.659><c> need</c><00:37:07.599><c> to</c><00:37:07.760><c> compare</c><00:37:08.159><c> the</c><00:37:08.400><c> two</c><00:37:08.860><c> records</c><00:37:09.280><c> here</c>

00:37:13.219 --> 00:37:17.639
But<00:37:13.219><c> in</c><00:37:13.559><c> Matthew</c><00:37:13.920><c> 20,</c><00:37:15.519><c> verse</c><00:37:15.860><c> 20,</c>

00:37:24.500 --> 00:37:27.960
but<00:37:24.679><c> we</c><00:37:24.860><c> can't</c><00:37:25.179><c> be</c><00:37:25.380><c> surprised</c><00:37:25.980><c> because</c><00:37:26.380><c> we</c><00:37:26.739><c> act</c><00:37:27.019><c> like</c><00:37:27.400><c> this.</c>

00:37:28.380 --> 00:37:30.900
We<00:37:28.519><c> listen</c><00:37:29.079><c> to</c><00:37:29.239><c> what</c><00:37:29.440><c> we</c><00:37:29.679><c> want</c><00:37:30.079><c> to</c><00:37:30.480><c> hear</c>

00:37:30.900 --> 00:37:33.539
because<00:37:31.679><c> he's</c><00:37:31.980><c> just</c><00:37:32.420><c> been</c><00:37:32.960><c> telling</c><00:37:33.300><c> them.</c>

00:37:33.539 --> 00:37:37.039
He<00:37:33.800><c> took</c><00:37:34.119><c> the</c><00:37:34.400><c> twelve</c><00:37:34.659><c> apart</c><00:37:35.440><c> in</c><00:37:35.639><c> the</c><00:37:35.820><c> way</c><00:37:36.000><c> and</c><00:37:36.139><c> says,</c>

00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:38.619
We're<00:37:37.699><c> going</c><00:37:38.039><c> to</c><00:37:38.280><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:41.380
The<00:37:39.159><c> son</c><00:37:39.420><c> of</c><00:37:39.559><c> man</c><00:37:39.760><c> shall</c><00:37:39.960><c> be</c><00:37:40.139><c> betrayed.</c>

00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:44.019
They<00:37:42.679><c> shall</c><00:37:42.860><c> condemn</c><00:37:43.179><c> him</c><00:37:43.400><c> to</c><00:37:43.559><c> death.</c>

00:37:44.500 --> 00:37:46.280
They'll<00:37:44.679><c> deliver</c><00:37:45.019><c> him</c><00:37:45.219><c> to</c><00:37:45.340><c> the</c><00:37:45.460><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:47.840
They'll<00:37:47.019><c> mock</c><00:37:47.260><c> him.</c>

00:37:48.099 --> 00:37:49.579
They'll<00:37:48.619><c> scourge</c><00:37:49.119><c> him.</c>

00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:51.519
They'll<00:37:50.260><c> crucify</c><00:37:50.980><c> him.</c>

00:37:51.880 --> 00:37:53.460
And<00:37:52.139><c> the</c><00:37:52.179><c> third</c><00:37:52.300><c> day</c><00:37:52.519><c> arrives.</c>

00:37:53.780 --> 00:37:58.440
Oh,<00:37:54.719><c> in</c><00:37:54.980><c> one</c><00:37:55.179><c> ear,</c><00:37:56.780><c> straight</c><00:37:57.119><c> out</c><00:37:57.440><c> the</c><00:37:57.559><c> other.</c>

00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:02.980
Then<00:38:00.480><c> came</c><00:38:00.800><c> to</c><00:38:00.960><c> him</c><00:38:01.380><c> the</c><00:38:01.639><c> mother</c><00:38:01.960><c> of</c><00:38:02.219><c> Zebedee's</c><00:38:02.659><c> children.</c>

00:38:02.980 --> 00:38:04.440
With<00:38:03.679><c> her</c><00:38:04.119><c> sons.</c>

00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:09.079
So<00:38:04.760><c> they</c><00:38:04.880><c> got</c><00:38:05.219><c> mum</c><00:38:05.659><c> to</c><00:38:07.760><c> plead</c><00:38:08.019><c> their</c><00:38:08.300><c> cause</c><00:38:08.539><c> here</c><00:38:08.760><c> now.</c>

00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:10.699
Now<00:38:09.400><c> I'm</c><00:38:09.480><c> going</c><00:38:09.659><c> to</c><00:38:09.760><c> show</c><00:38:09.880><c> you</c><00:38:10.099><c> a</c><00:38:10.199><c> slide</c><00:38:10.360><c> in</c><00:38:10.500><c> a</c><00:38:10.579><c> minute</c>

00:38:10.699 --> 00:38:14.860
which<00:38:10.900><c> suggests</c><00:38:11.440><c> why</c><00:38:11.780><c> they</c><00:38:12.019><c> got</c><00:38:13.380><c> mum</c>

00:38:18.199 --> 00:38:20.320
Because<00:38:18.300><c> there's</c><00:38:18.739><c> a</c><00:38:18.840><c> lot</c><00:38:18.980><c> of</c><00:38:19.139><c> evidence</c><00:38:19.380><c> that</c><00:38:19.559><c> John</c><00:38:19.800><c> and</c><00:38:19.960><c> Jesus</c>

00:38:33.199 --> 00:38:35.599

00:38:35.860 --> 00:38:37.519
So<00:38:35.940><c> they</c><00:38:36.400><c> don't</c><00:38:36.579><c> come</c><00:38:36.840><c> straight</c><00:38:37.119><c> out</c><00:38:37.340><c> of</c><00:38:37.519><c> it.</c>

They<00:38:37.699><c> don't</c><00:38:37.900><c> come</c><00:38:38.079><c> up</c><00:38:38.320><c> and</c><00:38:38.480><c> say,</c>

00:38:39.059 --> 00:38:41.099
Lord,<00:38:39.380><c> we</c><00:38:39.500><c> want</c><00:38:39.699><c> to</c><00:38:39.760><c> talk</c><00:38:40.019><c> to</c><00:38:40.099><c> you</c><00:38:40.219><c> about</c><00:38:40.400><c> the</c><00:38:40.659><c> positions</c><00:38:40.920><c> in</c>

00:38:44.980 --> 00:38:46.280
No,<00:38:45.239><c> no.</c>

00:38:46.539 --> 00:38:46.900
They<00:38:46.579><c> can't.</c>

00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:52.780
Look,<00:38:47.420><c> Master,</c><00:38:49.420><c> we</c><00:38:49.659><c> want</c><00:38:50.199><c> to</c><00:38:50.380><c> ask</c><00:38:50.679><c> you</c><00:38:51.139><c> a</c><00:38:51.340><c> certain</c><00:38:51.800><c> favour.</c>

00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:55.940
It's<00:38:55.039><c> a</c><00:38:55.119><c> favour</c><00:38:55.460><c> I</c><00:38:55.619><c> want</c><00:38:55.739><c> to</c><00:38:55.820><c> ask.</c>

And<00:39:09.139><c> Jesus</c><00:39:09.519><c> virtually</c><00:39:09.800><c> says,</c>

00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:11.340
Well,<00:39:10.219><c> come</c><00:39:10.420><c> on</c><00:39:10.619><c> out</c><00:39:10.800><c> with</c><00:39:10.900><c> it.</c>

Ask<00:39:14.940><c> me.</c>

00:39:16.559 --> 00:39:17.500
She<00:39:16.780><c> says</c><00:39:17.000><c> unto</c><00:39:17.219><c> him,</c>

00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:19.360
So<00:39:17.800><c> mother</c><00:39:18.059><c> does</c><00:39:18.300><c> the</c><00:39:18.559><c> talking,</c>

So<00:39:42.000><c> what</c><00:39:42.199><c> are</c><00:39:42.320><c> we</c><00:39:42.420><c> learning,</c><00:39:42.880><c> brothers</c><00:39:42.980><c> and</c><00:39:43.139><c> sisters?</c>

00:39:43.500 --> 00:39:45.219
That<00:39:43.599><c> here's</c><00:39:43.880><c> these</c><00:39:44.199><c> two</c><00:39:44.480><c> wonderful</c><00:39:44.880><c> men.</c>

00:39:45.659 --> 00:39:47.500
We're<00:39:45.840><c> not</c><00:39:46.239><c> doing</c><00:39:46.519><c> this</c><00:39:46.760><c> to</c><00:39:46.960><c> denigrate</c><00:39:47.340><c> them.</c>

00:39:47.579 --> 00:39:50.099
I<00:39:47.579><c> mean,</c><00:39:48.099><c> goodness</c><00:39:48.280><c> me,</c><00:39:48.480><c> we</c><00:39:48.699><c> would</c><00:39:48.880><c> hardly</c><00:39:49.119><c> stand</c><00:39:49.440><c> in</c><00:39:49.599><c> their</c><00:39:49.800><c> shadow.</c>

00:39:50.380 --> 00:39:53.780
But<00:39:50.539><c> what</c><00:39:50.760><c> we're</c><00:39:51.300><c> trying</c><00:39:51.599><c> to</c><00:39:51.880><c> explain</c><00:39:52.099><c> is</c><00:39:52.260><c> that</c><00:39:52.440><c> we</c><00:39:52.679><c> all</c><00:39:53.019><c> go</c><00:39:53.300><c> through</c>

00:39:53.780 --> 00:39:55.679
our<00:39:54.179><c> chastening</c><00:39:54.460><c> and</c><00:39:54.579><c> changing</c><00:39:55.000><c> of</c><00:39:55.199><c> our</c><00:39:55.320><c> character.</c>

00:39:55.980 --> 00:39:57.699
And<00:39:55.980><c> these</c><00:39:56.260><c> two</c><00:39:56.519><c> boys</c><00:39:56.739><c> were</c><00:39:56.920><c> going</c><00:39:57.119><c> through</c><00:39:57.420><c> it.</c>

00:39:57.780 --> 00:39:58.599
Twice<00:39:58.059><c> Jesus</c><00:39:58.360><c> says,</c>

00:39:58.659 --> 00:39:59.739
You<00:39:58.659><c> don't</c><00:39:58.860><c> know</c><00:39:58.960><c> what</c><00:39:59.059><c> you're</c><00:39:59.260><c> talking</c><00:39:59.460><c> about.</c>

00:39:59.860 --> 00:40:00.699
You<00:39:59.860><c> don't</c><00:40:00.059><c> know</c><00:40:00.179><c> what</c><00:40:00.320><c> you're</c><00:40:00.480><c> asking.</c>

00:40:00.739 --> 00:40:02.340
In<00:40:00.880><c> other</c><00:40:00.960><c> words,</c><00:40:01.079><c> you</c><00:40:01.159><c> don't</c><00:40:01.340><c> know</c><00:40:01.500><c> nothing.</c>

00:40:03.460 --> 00:40:06.699
And<00:40:03.559><c> that</c><00:40:04.000><c> really,</c><00:40:05.039><c> brothers</c><00:40:05.119><c> and</c><00:40:05.280><c> sisters,</c><00:40:05.599><c> is</c><00:40:06.079><c> often</c><00:40:06.440><c> our</c>

position,<00:40:07.559><c> you</c><00:40:07.679><c> know.</c>

00:40:09.260 --> 00:40:11.239
We<00:40:09.659><c> know</c><00:40:10.059><c> something</c><00:40:10.619><c> about</c><00:40:10.940><c> the</c><00:40:11.099><c> truth.</c>

00:40:11.260 --> 00:40:11.980
Of<00:40:11.460><c> course</c><00:40:11.699><c> we</c><00:40:11.860><c> do.</c>

00:40:12.059 --> 00:40:13.639
We<00:40:12.139><c> know,</c><00:40:12.579><c> I</c><00:40:12.860><c> think,</c><00:40:13.039><c> a</c><00:40:13.159><c> great</c><00:40:13.380><c> deal.</c>

00:40:13.699 --> 00:40:15.159
And<00:40:13.800><c> we're</c><00:40:13.900><c> very</c><00:40:14.239><c> thankful</c><00:40:14.480><c> to</c><00:40:14.599><c> God</c><00:40:14.780><c> for</c><00:40:14.940><c> that.</c>

00:40:15.400 --> 00:40:19.219
But,<00:40:15.599><c> you</c><00:40:15.639><c> know,</c><00:40:15.760><c> when</c><00:40:15.940><c> you</c><00:40:16.159><c> come</c><00:40:16.599><c> to</c><00:40:17.159><c> an</c><00:40:17.380><c> intimate</c><00:40:18.059><c> association</c><00:40:18.639><c> with</c><00:40:18.820><c> Jesus,</c>

00:40:19.380 --> 00:40:20.679
I<00:40:19.480><c> mean,</c><00:40:20.079><c> brothers</c><00:40:20.260><c> and</c><00:40:20.460><c> sisters,</c>

00:40:20.679 --> 00:40:25.079
if<00:40:20.840><c> you</c><00:40:20.960><c> were</c><00:40:21.179><c> walking</c><00:40:21.519><c> with</c><00:40:21.739><c> him</c><00:40:21.840><c> for</c><00:40:22.099><c> three</c><00:40:22.239><c> and</c><00:40:22.340><c> a</c><00:40:22.380><c> half</c><00:40:22.440><c> years</c><00:40:22.659><c> like</c><00:40:22.900><c> those</c><00:40:23.460><c> men</c><00:40:23.880><c> did,</c>

00:40:26.039 --> 00:40:28.380
you<00:40:26.139><c> put</c><00:40:26.340><c> yourself</c><00:40:26.860><c> there</c><00:40:27.500><c> alongside</c><00:40:28.179><c> him.</c>

00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:30.340
You<00:40:28.639><c> walked</c><00:40:28.900><c> with</c><00:40:29.019><c> him</c><00:40:29.159><c> for</c><00:40:29.300><c> three</c><00:40:29.579><c> and</c><00:40:29.679><c> a</c><00:40:29.800><c> half</c><00:40:29.840><c> years.</c>

00:40:30.659 --> 00:40:32.099
I<00:40:30.900><c> tell</c><00:40:30.980><c> you</c><00:40:31.159><c> something,</c><00:40:31.559><c> brothers</c><00:40:31.719><c> and</c><00:40:31.840><c> sisters,</c>

00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:34.239
at<00:40:32.519><c> the</c><00:40:32.619><c> end</c><00:40:32.780><c> of</c><00:40:32.920><c> that</c><00:40:33.119><c> you'd</c><00:40:33.480><c> come</c><00:40:33.679><c> to</c><00:40:33.780><c> the</c><00:40:33.900><c> conclusion,</c>

00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:36.579
I<00:40:34.619><c> don't</c><00:40:35.119><c> know</c><00:40:35.679><c> anything.</c>

00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:42.820
He'd<00:40:39.659><c> just</c><00:40:39.960><c> blind</c><00:40:40.340><c> you</c><00:40:40.519><c> with</c><00:40:40.699><c> the</c><00:40:40.880><c> glory</c><00:40:41.179><c> of</c><00:40:41.360><c> his</c><00:40:41.460><c> beautiful</c><00:40:41.860><c> character,</c>

00:40:43.199 --> 00:40:45.260
his<00:40:43.639><c> words,</c><00:40:44.460><c> his</c><00:40:44.760><c> disposition.</c>

00:40:45.340 --> 00:40:46.900
You<00:40:45.500><c> would</c><00:40:45.780><c> know</c><00:40:46.079><c> nothing.</c>

00:40:47.219 --> 00:40:48.900
But<00:40:47.400><c> you</c><00:40:47.559><c> see,</c><00:40:47.719><c> these</c><00:40:47.900><c> men</c><00:40:48.099><c> have</c><00:40:48.360><c> to</c><00:40:48.599><c> learn.</c>

00:40:49.340 --> 00:40:50.880
You<00:40:49.780><c> don't</c><00:40:50.039><c> know</c><00:40:50.219><c> what</c><00:40:50.380><c> you</c><00:40:50.619><c> ask.</c>

00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:53.599
Are<00:40:51.000><c> you</c><00:40:51.199><c> able</c><00:40:51.519><c> to</c><00:40:52.000><c> drink</c><00:40:52.380><c> of</c><00:40:52.579><c> the</c><00:40:52.739><c> cup</c><00:40:52.940><c> that</c><00:40:53.079><c> I'm</c><00:40:53.300><c> going</c><00:40:53.460><c> to</c>

00:40:53.599 --> 00:40:53.900
drink<00:40:53.739><c> of?</c>

00:40:54.000 --> 00:40:55.280
And<00:40:54.000><c> we</c><00:40:54.179><c> know</c><00:40:54.500><c> that.</c>

00:40:55.300 --> 00:40:56.780
They<00:40:55.519><c> said,</c><00:40:55.699><c> yes,</c><00:40:56.099><c> Lord.</c>

00:40:57.079 --> 00:41:01.320
And<00:40:57.260><c> in</c><00:40:57.420><c> his</c><00:40:57.559><c> beautiful,</c><00:40:58.239><c> gracious</c><00:40:58.719><c> kindness</c><00:40:59.300><c> to</c><00:40:59.480><c> them,</c><00:40:59.780><c> Jesus</c><00:40:59.940><c> says,</c><00:41:00.380><c> yes.</c>

00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:03.099
You<00:41:01.920><c> will.</c><00:41:02.599><c> You</c><00:41:02.760><c> will.</c>

00:41:03.559 --> 00:41:05.500
It's<00:41:03.800><c> almost</c><00:41:03.920><c> as</c><00:41:04.139><c> if</c><00:41:04.179><c> Jesus</c><00:41:04.460><c> says,</c>

00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:09.219
I'm<00:41:06.519><c> wasting</c><00:41:06.719><c> my</c><00:41:07.000><c> time</c><00:41:07.239><c> explaining</c><00:41:07.739><c> this</c><00:41:08.139><c> further</c><00:41:08.380><c> to</c><00:41:08.559><c> them.</c>

00:41:09.400 --> 00:41:10.960
Yes,<00:41:09.840><c> you</c><00:41:10.119><c> will.</c><00:41:10.420><c> You</c><00:41:10.599><c> will.</c>

00:41:11.340 --> 00:41:12.519
But<00:41:11.500><c> you'll</c><00:41:11.639><c> know</c><00:41:11.820><c> about</c><00:41:12.039><c> that</c><00:41:12.239><c> later.</c>

00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:14.619
I'll<00:41:13.019><c> tell</c><00:41:13.159><c> you</c><00:41:13.300><c> about</c><00:41:13.480><c> that</c><00:41:13.719><c> later.</c>

00:41:17.400 --> 00:41:20.760
Try<00:41:17.900><c> and</c><00:41:18.400><c> imagine</c><00:41:18.880><c> what</c><00:41:19.019><c> it</c><00:41:19.139><c> must</c><00:41:19.260><c> be</c><00:41:19.440><c> like</c><00:41:19.619><c> for</c><00:41:19.800><c> Jesus</c><00:41:20.139><c> working</c><00:41:20.500><c> with</c>

00:41:20.760 --> 00:41:21.059
these<00:41:20.960><c> men.</c>

00:41:21.159 --> 00:41:22.300
Would<00:41:21.219><c> we</c><00:41:21.380><c> have</c><00:41:21.519><c> had</c><00:41:21.619><c> that</c><00:41:21.940><c> patience?</c>

00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:25.340
Would<00:41:22.760><c> we</c><00:41:22.940><c> have</c><00:41:23.079><c> had</c><00:41:23.159><c> that</c><00:41:23.440><c> kindness</c><00:41:23.840><c> and</c><00:41:24.219><c> consideration?</c>

00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:28.840
I'll<00:41:27.699><c> just</c><00:41:27.820><c> show</c><00:41:27.940><c> you</c><00:41:28.119><c> something,</c><00:41:28.400><c> brothers</c><00:41:28.579><c> and</c><00:41:28.840><c> sisters,</c>

00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:30.219
which<00:41:29.039><c> is</c><00:41:29.239><c> interesting.</c>

00:41:30.619 --> 00:41:34.380
It's<00:41:31.119><c> maybe</c><00:41:31.380><c> not</c><00:41:32.719><c> totally</c><00:41:33.820><c> definitive,</c>

00:41:34.460 --> 00:41:38.380
but<00:41:34.659><c> it's</c><00:41:35.199><c> highly,</c><00:41:35.699><c> highly</c><00:41:36.579><c> suggestive.</c>

00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:10.139
John<00:42:05.619><c> mentions</c><00:42:05.980><c> Mary</c><00:42:06.360><c> because</c><00:42:06.679><c> Jesus</c><00:42:07.079><c> says</c><00:42:08.219><c> to</c><00:42:09.500><c> John,</c><00:42:10.099><c> behold</c>

00:42:10.139 --> 00:42:11.179
your<00:42:10.340><c> mother.</c>

00:42:11.440 --> 00:42:15.059
But<00:42:11.539><c> all</c><00:42:11.780><c> the</c><00:42:11.920><c> other</c><00:42:12.079><c> Gospel</c><00:42:12.400><c> writers</c><00:42:12.960><c> mention</c><00:42:13.679><c> three</c><00:42:13.980><c> other</c><00:42:14.179><c> women.</c>

00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:19.619
Matthew,<00:42:16.579><c> Mark</c><00:42:16.860><c> and</c><00:42:17.079><c> John</c><00:42:17.480><c> all</c><00:42:17.880><c> mention</c><00:42:18.119><c> Mary</c><00:42:18.440><c> Magdalene.</c>

00:42:20.460 --> 00:42:21.820
She<00:42:20.719><c> was</c><00:42:20.940><c> there.</c>

00:42:22.320 --> 00:42:25.300
They<00:42:22.599><c> all</c><00:42:23.380><c> mention</c><00:42:23.900><c> another</c><00:42:24.340><c> Mary.</c>

00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:29.119
But<00:42:26.039><c> they</c><00:42:27.360><c> give</c><00:42:27.559><c> you</c><00:42:27.719><c> a</c><00:42:27.719><c> little</c><00:42:27.980><c> bit</c><00:42:28.199><c> more</c><00:42:28.599><c> information.</c>

00:42:29.239 --> 00:42:32.139
For<00:42:29.420><c> example,</c><00:42:30.099><c> Matthew</c><00:42:30.480><c> and</c><00:42:30.599><c> Mark</c><00:42:30.920><c> say</c><00:42:31.219><c> she</c><00:42:31.420><c> was</c><00:42:31.619><c> Mary,</c><00:42:32.039><c> the</c>

00:42:32.139 --> 00:42:33.440
mother<00:42:32.340><c> of</c><00:42:32.500><c> James</c><00:42:32.840><c> and</c><00:42:33.039><c> Joseph.</c>

00:42:33.440 --> 00:42:37.159
Whereas<00:42:34.239><c> John</c><00:42:34.760><c> says</c><00:42:35.059><c> she</c><00:42:35.139><c> was</c><00:42:35.360><c> Mary,</c><00:42:35.800><c> the</c><00:42:35.800><c> wife</c><00:42:36.139><c> of</c><00:42:36.360><c> Cleopas.</c>

00:42:37.179 --> 00:42:39.179
Now<00:42:37.239><c> that's</c><00:42:37.860><c> awfully</c><00:42:38.119><c> interesting,</c>

00:42:39.539 --> 00:42:41.780
because<00:42:39.639><c> Cleopas</c><00:42:40.239><c> was</c><00:42:40.400><c> one</c><00:42:40.639><c> of</c><00:42:40.780><c> the</c><00:42:40.900><c> disciples</c><00:42:41.320><c> on</c><00:42:41.500><c> the</c><00:42:41.619><c> road</c>

00:42:41.780 --> 00:42:43.679
to<00:42:41.980><c> Emmaus</c><00:42:42.420><c> that</c><00:42:42.780><c> Luke</c><00:42:43.179><c> mentions.</c>

00:42:44.059 --> 00:42:47.219
So<00:42:44.159><c> now</c><00:42:44.480><c> we've</c><00:42:44.780><c> learnt</c><00:42:44.920><c> that</c><00:42:45.099><c> Mary</c><00:42:45.719><c> was</c><00:42:46.119><c> the</c><00:42:46.500><c> wife</c><00:42:46.780><c> of</c><00:42:46.900><c> one</c><00:42:47.079><c> of</c>

00:42:47.219 --> 00:42:47.880
the<00:42:47.340><c> disciples</c>

00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:50.719
that<00:42:48.420><c> Jesus</c><00:42:48.760><c> met</c><00:42:48.980><c> on</c><00:42:49.179><c> the</c><00:42:49.300><c> road</c><00:42:49.420><c> to</c><00:42:49.619><c> Emmaus.</c>

00:42:50.739 --> 00:42:53.920
But<00:42:50.840><c> the</c><00:42:51.079><c> fourth</c><00:42:51.519><c> member,</c><00:42:52.219><c> the</c><00:42:52.400><c> fourth</c><00:42:52.659><c> woman</c><00:42:52.960><c> around</c><00:42:53.300><c> the</c><00:42:53.559><c> cross,</c>

00:42:54.400 --> 00:42:57.320
is<00:42:54.559><c> interesting</c><00:42:55.079><c> because</c><00:42:55.599><c> Matthew</c><00:42:56.219><c> calls</c><00:42:56.579><c> her</c><00:42:56.820><c> the</c><00:42:57.000><c> mother</c>

00:42:57.320 --> 00:42:58.980
of<00:42:57.559><c> Zebedee's</c><00:42:58.079><c> children.</c>

00:42:59.619 --> 00:43:02.280
Mark<00:42:59.900><c> calls</c><00:43:00.219><c> her</c><00:43:00.460><c> by</c><00:43:00.739><c> her</c><00:43:00.960><c> name,</c><00:43:01.840><c> Salome.</c>

00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:06.480
And<00:43:03.340><c> John</c><00:43:03.699><c> calls</c><00:43:04.139><c> her</c><00:43:04.639><c> Mary's</c><00:43:05.500><c> sister.</c>

00:43:08.400 --> 00:43:11.559
Now<00:43:08.460><c> if</c><00:43:08.559><c> you</c><00:43:08.639><c> think</c><00:43:08.840><c> about</c><00:43:09.119><c> it,</c><00:43:10.219><c> isn't</c><00:43:10.380><c> that</c><00:43:10.599><c> obvious?</c>

00:43:11.579 --> 00:43:14.460
Because<00:43:11.780><c> if</c><00:43:12.000><c> they're</c><00:43:12.219><c> related</c><00:43:12.519><c> it's</c><00:43:12.780><c> going</c><00:43:12.880><c> to</c><00:43:12.940><c> be</c><00:43:13.079><c> John</c><00:43:13.559><c> who</c>

00:43:14.460 --> 00:43:15.719
highlights<00:43:14.900><c> the</c><00:43:15.179><c> relationship,</c>

00:43:15.860 --> 00:43:17.760
says<00:43:15.980><c> she's</c><00:43:16.340><c> Mary's</c><00:43:16.840><c> sister.</c>

00:43:18.019 --> 00:43:20.460
She's<00:43:18.300><c> my</c><00:43:18.800><c> auntie.</c>

00:43:21.579 --> 00:43:27.739
And<00:43:21.940><c> so</c><00:43:22.719><c> if</c><00:43:22.900><c> that</c><00:43:23.179><c> is</c><00:43:23.500><c> so,</c><00:43:23.960><c> then</c><00:43:24.460><c> John</c><00:43:24.860><c> and</c><00:43:25.139><c> Jesus</c><00:43:25.559><c> are</c><00:43:26.079><c> in</c><00:43:26.260><c> fact</c><00:43:26.679><c> cousins.</c>

00:43:28.820 --> 00:43:31.000
That<00:43:29.219><c> explains</c><00:43:29.760><c> a</c><00:43:30.019><c> lot.</c>

00:43:32.159 --> 00:43:35.840
Because<00:43:32.719><c> perhaps</c><00:43:33.280><c> these</c><00:43:33.559><c> two</c><00:43:33.880><c> boys</c><00:43:34.340><c> saw</c><00:43:34.719><c> themselves</c><00:43:35.300><c> as</c><00:43:35.599><c> a</c>

00:43:35.840 --> 00:43:37.800
cut<00:43:36.019><c> above</c><00:43:36.599><c> the</c><00:43:36.860><c> others,</c>

00:43:38.960 --> 00:43:42.940
that<00:43:39.039><c> they</c><00:43:39.360><c> had</c><00:43:39.719><c> a</c><00:43:40.159><c> special</c><00:43:40.659><c> relationship.</c>

00:43:43.500 --> 00:43:44.900
He's<00:43:43.900><c> our</c><00:43:44.099><c> cousin.</c>

00:43:44.980 --> 00:43:47.739
Lord,<00:43:45.500><c> grant</c><00:43:45.659><c> us</c><00:43:45.940><c> to</c><00:43:46.079><c> sit</c><00:43:46.179><c> on</c><00:43:46.360><c> your</c><00:43:46.519><c> right</c><00:43:46.699><c> and</c><00:43:46.900><c> left.</c>

00:43:48.420 --> 00:43:50.519
Lord,<00:43:48.699><c> there's</c><00:43:48.940><c> a</c><00:43:49.039><c> man</c><00:43:49.199><c> over</c><00:43:49.480><c> there</c><00:43:49.780><c> casting</c><00:43:50.079><c> out</c><00:43:50.320><c> demons,</c>

00:43:50.719 --> 00:43:53.420
but<00:43:50.980><c> don't</c><00:43:51.480><c> worry,</c><00:43:51.760><c> don't</c><00:43:52.039><c> bother</c><00:43:52.199><c> yourself</c><00:43:52.539><c> because</c><00:43:52.739><c> we</c><00:43:53.000><c> fixed</c><00:43:53.219><c> him</c>

00:43:53.420 --> 00:43:54.539
right<00:43:53.699><c> up.</c>

00:43:55.360 --> 00:43:59.019
So<00:43:55.920><c> they</c><00:43:56.480><c> saw</c><00:43:56.739><c> themselves</c><00:43:57.159><c> as</c><00:43:57.340><c> perhaps</c><00:43:57.559><c> having</c><00:43:57.940><c> a</c><00:43:58.400><c> little</c><00:43:58.780><c> bit</c>

00:43:59.019 --> 00:44:01.500
of<00:44:00.099><c> an</c><00:44:00.260><c> inner</c><00:44:00.539><c> privilege.</c>

00:44:02.699 --> 00:44:07.800
But<00:44:02.900><c> of</c><00:44:03.280><c> course</c><00:44:04.099><c> Jesus</c><00:44:04.920><c> wasn't</c><00:44:05.219><c> interested</c><00:44:05.539><c> in</c><00:44:05.760><c> any</c><00:44:06.260><c> fleshly</c><00:44:06.659><c> relationships.</c>

00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:11.179
Twice<00:44:08.400><c> in</c><00:44:08.559><c> his</c><00:44:08.760><c> ministry,</c><00:44:09.539><c> woman,</c><00:44:09.940><c> what</c><00:44:10.139><c> have</c><00:44:10.280><c> I</c><00:44:10.380><c> to</c><00:44:10.519><c> do</c><00:44:10.699><c> with</c><00:44:10.980><c> thee?</c>

00:44:11.420 --> 00:44:13.739
That<00:44:11.539><c> was</c><00:44:11.739><c> not</c><00:44:12.019><c> disrespectful</c><00:44:12.599><c> to</c><00:44:12.800><c> his</c><00:44:13.000><c> mother.</c>

00:44:14.179 --> 00:44:16.320
He's<00:44:14.380><c> not</c><00:44:14.820><c> being</c><00:44:15.480><c> insulting</c><00:44:15.940><c> to</c><00:44:16.159><c> Mary.</c>

00:44:16.340 --> 00:44:20.960
He's<00:44:16.500><c> just</c><00:44:16.780><c> saying</c><00:44:17.099><c> to</c><00:44:17.340><c> her</c><00:44:17.519><c> gently,</c><00:44:18.179><c> woman,</c><00:44:20.239><c> I'm</c><00:44:20.619><c> doing</c><00:44:20.820><c> the</c>

00:44:20.960 --> 00:44:22.260
work<00:44:21.079><c> of</c><00:44:21.219><c> my</c><00:44:21.400><c> father.</c>

00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:30.420
You've<00:44:23.440><c> got</c><00:44:23.619><c> to</c><00:44:24.400><c> break</c><00:44:25.159><c> the</c><00:44:27.059><c> pool,</c><00:44:28.920><c> which</c><00:44:29.059><c> would</c><00:44:29.219><c> be</c><00:44:29.360><c> natural.</c>

00:44:31.099 --> 00:44:33.119
Sisters,<00:44:31.579><c> how</c><00:44:31.619><c> would</c><00:44:31.739><c> you</c><00:44:31.860><c> like</c><00:44:32.019><c> to</c><00:44:32.139><c> have</c><00:44:32.239><c> a</c><00:44:32.380><c> son</c><00:44:32.460><c> like</c><00:44:32.739><c> that?</c>

00:44:33.539 --> 00:44:35.980
You're<00:44:33.820><c> the</c><00:44:33.960><c> mother</c><00:44:34.159><c> of</c><00:44:34.360><c> the</c><00:44:34.400><c> son</c><00:44:34.599><c> of</c><00:44:34.760><c> God.</c>

00:44:36.420 --> 00:44:42.420
And<00:44:36.480><c> Jesus</c><00:44:36.719><c> let</c><00:44:40.699><c> her</c><00:44:40.920><c> gently</c><00:44:41.219><c> know</c><00:44:41.519><c> that</c><00:44:41.719><c> that</c><00:44:41.940><c> relationship</c>

00:44:42.420 --> 00:44:43.679
can't<00:44:42.739><c> last.</c>

00:44:44.420 --> 00:44:47.360
So<00:44:44.599><c> what</c><00:44:44.820><c> are</c><00:44:44.880><c> these</c><00:44:45.159><c> two</c><00:44:45.380><c> fellows</c><00:44:45.599><c> trying</c><00:44:46.000><c> to</c><00:44:46.679><c> make</c><00:44:46.940><c> mileage</c>

00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:50.179
out<00:44:47.679><c> of</c><00:44:47.880><c> the</c><00:44:48.039><c> fact</c><00:44:48.179><c> that</c><00:44:48.320><c> they're</c><00:44:48.539><c> related</c><00:44:48.840><c> to</c><00:44:49.039><c> it?</c>

00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:55.119
Nevertheless,<00:44:53.639><c> I'll</c><00:44:53.980><c> perhaps</c><00:44:54.119><c> just</c><00:44:54.380><c> leave</c><00:44:54.539><c> that</c><00:44:54.739><c> on</c><00:44:54.880><c> for</c><00:44:55.039><c> a</c>

00:44:55.119 --> 00:44:55.320

us<00:52:46.039><c> to</c><00:52:46.219><c> face</c><00:52:46.559><c> that</c><00:52:47.260><c> we</c><00:52:47.400><c> just</c><00:52:47.679><c> switch</c><00:52:47.880><c> off.</c>

00:52:48.440 --> 00:52:49.280
People<00:52:48.719><c> do</c><00:52:48.980><c> this.</c>

00:52:49.500 --> 00:52:51.500
And<00:52:49.659><c> I</c><00:52:49.719><c> think</c><00:52:49.860><c> this</c><00:52:50.039><c> is</c><00:52:50.159><c> what</c><00:52:50.300><c> happened</c><00:52:50.539><c> to</c><00:52:50.739><c> the</c><00:52:50.900><c> disciples</c><00:52:51.260><c> in</c>

00:52:51.500 --> 00:52:51.880
the<00:52:51.659><c> garden.</c>

00:52:51.940 --> 00:52:54.420
They<00:52:52.119><c> just</c><00:52:52.360><c> could</c><00:52:52.579><c> not</c><00:52:52.880><c> comprehend</c><00:52:53.340><c> what</c><00:52:53.559><c> was</c><00:52:53.780><c> going</c><00:52:54.000><c> on.</c>

00:52:54.900 --> 00:52:57.940
But<00:52:55.019><c> you</c><00:52:55.199><c> think</c><00:52:55.440><c> of</c><00:52:55.599><c> those</c><00:52:55.840><c> three</c><00:52:56.139><c> incidents,</c><00:52:56.539><c> brothers</c><00:52:56.800><c> and</c><00:52:57.000><c> sisters,</c>

00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:04.260
that<00:53:00.739><c> we've</c><00:53:01.119><c> had</c><00:53:01.599><c> a</c><00:53:01.679><c> look</c><00:53:01.900><c> at,</c><00:53:03.300><c> where</c><00:53:03.420><c> James,</c><00:53:03.900><c> Peter,</c><00:53:04.159><c> and</c>

00:53:04.260 --> 00:53:06.230
John<00:53:04.400><c> have</c><00:53:04.539><c> been</c><00:53:04.739><c> taken</c><00:53:04.940><c> apart</c><00:53:05.400><c> separately,</c>

00:53:07.380 --> 00:53:09.639
staggered<00:53:07.679><c> and</c><00:53:07.860><c> astonished</c><00:53:08.239><c> out</c><00:53:08.440><c> of</c><00:53:08.519><c> their</c><00:53:08.699><c> wits</c><00:53:08.880><c> by</c><00:53:09.300><c> viewing</c>

00:53:09.639 --> 00:53:12.599
a<00:53:09.880><c> resurrection</c><00:53:10.239><c> for</c><00:53:10.500><c> the</c><00:53:10.619><c> first</c><00:53:10.920><c> time,</c>

00:53:13.800 --> 00:53:18.380
frightened<00:53:14.119><c> out</c><00:53:14.400><c> of</c><00:53:14.460><c> their</c><00:53:14.679><c> wits</c><00:53:15.380><c> by</c><00:53:16.719><c> the</c><00:53:16.960><c> transfiguration,</c>

00:53:19.900 --> 00:53:24.460
and<00:53:20.300><c> I</c><00:53:20.699><c> suppose</c><00:53:21.099><c> confused</c><00:53:22.139><c> and</c><00:53:22.719><c> saddened</c><00:53:23.380><c> and</c><00:53:23.719><c> whatever</c><00:53:24.159><c> emotion.</c>

00:53:24.460 --> 00:53:27.320
We're<00:53:24.599><c> not</c><00:53:24.960><c> told</c><00:53:25.420><c> of</c><00:53:25.559><c> the</c><00:53:25.679><c> emotions</c><00:53:25.980><c> which</c><00:53:26.179><c> went</c><00:53:26.380><c> through</c><00:53:26.599><c> when</c><00:53:26.739><c> they</c><00:53:27.019><c> saw</c>

00:53:27.320 --> 00:53:28.739
the<00:53:27.500><c> distress</c><00:53:28.000><c> of</c><00:53:28.179><c> our</c><00:53:28.420><c> Lord</c>

00:53:28.739 --> 00:53:30.579

00:53:30.599 --> 00:53:34.639
But<00:53:30.739><c> all</c><00:53:31.420><c> these</c><00:53:32.019><c> things,</c><00:53:33.320><c> brothers</c><00:53:33.500><c> and</c><00:53:33.639><c> sisters,</c><00:53:33.940><c> all</c><00:53:34.239><c> these</c>

00:53:34.639 --> 00:53:38.239
things<00:53:35.239><c> shaped</c><00:53:36.320><c> John.</c>

00:53:39.579 --> 00:53:43.980
And<00:53:39.800><c> as</c><00:53:40.219><c> we</c><00:53:41.679><c> now</c><00:53:42.219><c> commence</c><00:53:42.599><c> the</c><00:53:42.900><c> epistle,</c>

00:53:44.099 --> 00:53:47.000
I<00:53:44.119><c> want</c><00:53:44.380><c> you</c><00:53:44.659><c> to</c><00:53:45.440><c> recall</c><00:53:45.980><c> some</c><00:53:46.219><c> of</c><00:53:46.380><c> the</c><00:53:46.420><c> things</c><00:53:46.519><c> we've</c><00:53:46.739><c> said</c><00:53:46.900><c> in</c>

00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:47.900
this<00:53:47.260><c> opening</c><00:53:47.500><c> session</c>

00:53:47.900 --> 00:53:52.159
because<00:53:48.579><c> you</c><00:53:49.440><c> will</c><00:53:49.760><c> see</c><00:53:49.960><c> quite</c><00:53:50.340><c> clearly</c><00:53:50.719><c> that</c><00:53:50.900><c> they</c><00:53:51.219><c> do</c><00:53:51.679><c> shape</c>

00:53:52.159 --> 00:53:53.739
what<00:53:52.460><c> John</c><00:53:52.800><c> says.</c>

00:53:55.619 --> 00:53:58.900
Sometimes<00:53:56.139><c> we</c><00:53:56.659><c> look</c><00:53:56.840><c> at</c><00:53:57.000><c> John</c><00:53:57.340><c> when</c><00:53:57.579><c> we</c><00:53:57.760><c> do</c><00:53:57.940><c> our</c><00:53:58.139><c> daily</c><00:53:58.380><c> readings.</c>

00:53:59.340 --> 00:54:00.980
I<00:53:59.340><c> don't</c><00:53:59.400><c> know</c><00:53:59.619><c> about</c><00:53:59.880><c> you,</c><00:54:00.159><c> brothers</c><00:54:00.300><c> and</c><00:54:00.440><c> sisters,</c><00:54:00.579><c> but</c><00:54:00.739><c> I</c>

00:54:00.980 --> 00:54:02.559
certainly<00:54:01.320><c> did.</c>

00:54:03.599 --> 00:54:07.539
He's<00:54:04.019><c> a</c><00:54:04.159><c> conundrum</c><00:54:04.539><c> because</c><00:54:04.860><c> the</c><00:54:05.119><c> language</c><00:54:05.519><c> is</c><00:54:06.219><c> awfully</c><00:54:06.579><c> simple.</c>

00:54:07.840 --> 00:54:09.500
A<00:54:07.900><c> child</c><00:54:08.460><c> can</c><00:54:08.699><c> understand</c><00:54:09.119><c> it.</c>

00:54:09.599 --> 00:54:12.360
And<00:54:09.760><c> you</c><00:54:09.880><c> read</c><00:54:10.119><c> it</c><00:54:10.760><c> and</c><00:54:11.039><c> you</c><00:54:11.199><c> think</c><00:54:11.280><c> there's</c><00:54:11.500><c> got</c><00:54:11.559><c> to</c><00:54:11.679><c> be</c><00:54:11.780><c> something</c><00:54:12.079><c> else</c>

00:54:12.360 --> 00:54:15.400
here<00:54:12.800><c> that's</c><00:54:14.500><c> deeper.</c>

00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:16.639
Because<00:54:15.900><c> it's</c><00:54:16.000><c> too</c><00:54:16.260><c> simple.</c>

00:54:16.860 --> 00:54:20.059
I<00:54:16.900><c> mean,</c><00:54:17.260><c> you</c><00:54:17.420><c> fill</c><00:54:17.539><c> five</c><00:54:17.940><c> chapters</c><00:54:18.380><c> with</c><00:54:18.900><c> love</c><00:54:19.380><c> one</c><00:54:19.619><c> another,</c>

00:54:20.059 --> 00:54:23.440
we've<00:54:20.639><c> forgotten</c><00:54:20.860><c> of</c><00:54:21.119><c> him,</c><00:54:21.679><c> whoever's</c><00:54:22.119><c> forgotten</c><00:54:22.340><c> of</c><00:54:22.440><c> him</c><00:54:22.639><c> walks</c><00:54:22.880><c> in</c><00:54:23.079><c> light,</c>

00:54:23.719 --> 00:54:25.719
then<00:54:23.780><c> he</c><00:54:23.960><c> repeats</c><00:54:24.260><c> it,</c><00:54:24.460><c> then</c><00:54:24.619><c> he</c><00:54:24.780><c> repeats</c><00:54:25.059><c> it,</c><00:54:25.300><c> and</c><00:54:25.500><c> repeats</c>

00:54:25.719 --> 00:54:26.380
in<00:54:25.960><c> another</c><00:54:26.139><c> form.</c>

00:54:26.440 --> 00:54:28.320
You<00:54:26.440><c> think</c><00:54:26.679><c> this</c><00:54:26.860><c> is</c><00:54:27.039><c> going</c><00:54:27.239><c> around,</c><00:54:27.599><c> around</c><00:54:27.880><c> circles.</c>

00:54:28.699 --> 00:54:29.559
And<00:54:28.699><c> it's</c><00:54:29.000><c> awfully</c><00:54:29.219><c> simple.</c>

00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:32.159
Well,<00:54:30.380><c> over</c><00:54:30.679><c> the</c><00:54:30.800><c> next</c><00:54:31.059><c> few</c><00:54:31.280><c> sessions,</c><00:54:31.780><c> brothers</c><00:54:31.880><c> and</c><00:54:31.980><c> sisters,</c>

00:54:32.239 --> 00:54:34.659
we're<00:54:32.380><c> going</c><00:54:32.480><c> to</c><00:54:32.480><c> show</c><00:54:32.739><c> you</c><00:54:32.900><c> it's</c><00:54:33.179><c> not</c><00:54:33.460><c> that</c><00:54:33.780><c> simple.</c>

00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:37.760
It<00:54:34.800><c> is</c><00:54:35.059><c> simple,</c><00:54:35.579><c> but</c><00:54:35.760><c> there's</c><00:54:36.219><c> great</c><00:54:36.559><c> truths</c><00:54:36.920><c> underlying</c><00:54:37.380><c> it.</c>

00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:40.840
And<00:54:38.239><c> his</c><00:54:39.420><c> own</c><00:54:40.139><c> experiences.</c>

00:54:41.159 --> 00:54:45.059

00:54:49.340 --> 00:54:51.739
You'll<00:54:49.760><c> hear</c><00:54:49.940><c> words</c><00:54:50.360><c> used</c><00:54:50.719><c> at</c><00:54:50.900><c> the</c><00:54:51.039><c> Last</c><00:54:51.340><c> Supper.</c>

00:56:13.059 --> 00:56:16.619

00:56:20.139 --> 00:56:22.699
Jesus<00:56:20.380><c> said</c><00:56:20.800><c> to</c><00:56:21.159><c> Peter,</c><00:56:21.420><c> you</c><00:56:21.579><c> mind</c><00:56:21.800><c> your</c><00:56:22.000><c> own</c><00:56:22.139><c> business</c><00:56:22.460><c> Peter,</c>

00:56:25.579 --> 00:56:27.699
Now<00:56:25.860><c> we</c><00:56:25.960><c> know</c><00:56:26.119><c> it's</c><00:56:26.340><c> not</c><00:56:26.480><c> his</c><00:56:26.739><c> second</c><00:56:26.920><c> coming.</c>

00:56:28.039 --> 00:56:30.800
But<00:56:28.340><c> in</c><00:56:28.659><c> the</c><00:56:28.840><c> AD</c><00:56:29.119><c> 70</c><00:56:29.659><c> judgments,</c>

00:56:40.860 --> 00:56:43.579

00:56:44.659 --> 00:56:46.760
Not<00:56:44.940><c> the</c><00:56:45.280><c> coming</c><00:56:45.460><c> we're</c><00:56:45.760><c> looking</c><00:56:46.000><c> for.</c>

00:56:47.139 --> 00:56:50.179
So<00:56:47.800><c> John</c><00:56:48.460><c> outlived</c><00:56:49.039><c> that.</c>

00:56:50.719 --> 00:56:55.579

It's<00:56:58.659><c> time,</c><00:56:59.079><c> perhaps</c><00:56:59.340><c> the</c><00:56:59.519><c> generation</c><00:56:59.980><c> is</c><00:57:00.260><c> dying</c><00:57:00.519><c> out.</c>

and<00:58:05.000><c> fellowship.</c>

00:58:05.760 --> 00:58:07.800
This<00:58:05.840><c> is</c><00:58:06.039><c> a</c><00:58:06.119><c> wonderful</c><00:58:06.500><c> theme.</c>

00:58:09.579 --> 00:58:12.300
Fellowship<00:58:10.139><c> is</c><00:58:10.280><c> one</c><00:58:10.460><c> of</c><00:58:10.599><c> the</c><00:58:10.900><c> themes</c><00:58:11.219><c> of</c><00:58:11.480><c> John.</c>

00:58:12.780 --> 00:58:15.739
Fellowship<00:58:13.239><c> is</c><00:58:13.400><c> often</c><00:58:13.659><c> misunderstood</c><00:58:14.340><c> by</c><00:58:14.579><c> the</c><00:58:14.719><c> sisters.</c>

00:58:16.579 --> 00:58:20.480
Fellowship<00:58:16.960><c> is</c><00:58:17.139><c> often</c><00:58:17.460><c> considered</c><00:58:17.900><c> the</c><00:58:18.199><c> nice,</c><00:58:18.760><c> warm,</c><00:58:19.539><c> loving</c><00:58:19.840><c> relationship</c>

00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:25.739
But<00:58:23.199><c> John</c><00:58:23.480><c> is</c><00:58:23.659><c> going</c><00:58:23.820><c> to</c><00:58:24.079><c> clearly</c><00:58:24.360><c> tell</c><00:58:24.539><c> us</c>

00:58:25.800 --> 00:58:33.800
the<00:58:26.159><c> fellowship</c><00:58:26.719><c> that</c><00:58:27.519><c> he</c><00:58:28.340><c> enjoins</c><00:58:28.820><c> is</c><00:58:29.320><c> based</c><00:58:29.659><c> on</c><00:58:30.099><c> enlightenment,</c><00:58:33.039><c> doctrine,</c>

00:58:41.500 --> 00:58:44.679
And<00:58:41.639><c> therefore</c><00:58:42.179><c> fellowship</c><00:58:42.840><c> is</c><00:58:43.179><c> based</c><00:58:43.539><c> upon</c><00:58:43.860><c> a</c><00:58:44.019><c> foundation</c>

00:58:51.199 --> 00:58:53.440
It's<00:58:51.840><c> not</c><00:58:52.059><c> at</c><00:58:52.460><c> a</c><00:58:52.519><c> club.</c>

00:58:54.679 --> 00:58:58.699
We<00:58:54.679><c> are</c><00:58:54.960><c> sons</c><00:58:55.679><c> of</c><00:58:56.199><c> God,</c><00:58:56.820><c> begotten.</c>

00:58:59.800 --> 00:59:02.239
He<00:59:00.000><c> keeps</c><00:59:00.320><c> insisting.</c>

00:59:02.579 --> 00:59:04.960

00:59:05.000 --> 00:59:06.780
We<00:59:05.199><c> should</c><00:59:05.420><c> walk</c><00:59:05.659><c> in</c><00:59:05.820><c> the</c><00:59:05.980><c> light.</c>

00:59:07.460 --> 00:59:10.320
