the<00:00:34.659><c> King.</c>

00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:40.640
The<00:00:36.119><c> new</c><00:00:36.479><c> King</c><00:00:36.920><c> is</c><00:00:37.340><c> laying</c><00:00:37.619><c> down</c><00:00:37.960><c> his</c><00:00:38.240><c> law</c><00:00:38.719><c> so</c><00:00:39.320><c> that</c><00:00:39.820><c> those</c><00:00:40.359><c> who</c>

00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:42.299

00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:49.979
So<00:00:46.259><c> we're</c><00:00:46.799><c> continuing</c><00:00:47.320><c> through</c><00:00:47.899><c> Matthew</c><00:00:48.340><c> 5</c><00:00:48.859><c> then</c><00:00:49.420><c> with</c><00:00:49.700><c> that</c>

00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:53.659
And<00:00:51.799><c> particularly</c><00:00:52.119><c> we</c><00:00:52.320><c> want</c><00:00:52.460><c> to</c><00:00:52.659><c> discuss</c><00:00:52.920><c> those</c><00:00:53.200><c> verses</c><00:00:53.460><c> that</c>
