00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:10.079
and<00:19:08.140><c> said</c><00:19:08.240><c> to</c><00:19:08.339><c> him,</c><00:19:08.819><c> we</c><00:19:08.900><c> have</c><00:19:09.299><c> found</c><00:19:09.519><c> the</c><00:19:09.759><c> Messiah,</c>

00:19:10.220 --> 00:19:14.440

00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:18.859
Now<00:19:17.059><c> look</c><00:19:17.200><c> at</c><00:19:17.380><c> what</c><00:19:17.619><c> John</c><00:19:17.920><c> wrote.</c>

00:19:19.019 --> 00:19:20.920
He<00:19:19.240><c> brought</c><00:19:19.460><c> him</c><00:19:19.619><c> to</c><00:19:19.779><c> Jesus.</c>

00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:28.599
Why<00:19:24.140><c> didn't</c><00:19:24.400><c> it</c><00:19:24.680><c> say</c><00:19:25.180><c> he</c><00:19:26.000><c> came</c><00:19:26.740><c> to</c><00:19:27.480><c> Jesus?</c>

00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:32.599
These<00:19:29.980><c> aren't</c><00:19:30.240><c> difficult</c><00:19:30.680><c> things</c><00:19:31.099><c> for</c><00:19:31.279><c> us</c><00:19:31.400><c> to</c><00:19:31.660><c> understand.</c>

00:19:32.619 --> 00:19:34.359
They're<00:19:32.920><c> simple</c><00:19:33.259><c> things.</c>

00:19:35.059 --> 00:19:37.519

00:19:38.019 --> 00:19:41.220
Is<00:19:38.619><c> it</c><00:19:38.920><c> possible</c><00:19:39.400><c> that</c><00:19:39.740><c> Peter</c><00:19:39.920><c> didn't</c><00:19:40.160><c> want</c><00:19:40.420><c> to</c><00:19:40.660><c> come?</c>

00:20:09.700 --> 00:20:11.819
As<00:20:10.299><c> our</c><00:20:10.680><c> children</c><00:20:11.079><c> are</c><00:20:11.359><c> sometimes,</c>

00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:56.539
They're<00:24:54.759><c> casting</c><00:24:55.019><c> it</c><00:24:55.259><c> first</c><00:24:55.480><c> on</c><00:24:55.660><c> one</c><00:24:55.940><c> side</c><00:24:56.119><c> of</c><00:24:56.279><c> the</c><00:24:56.400><c> ship.</c>

00:24:56.740 --> 00:24:57.500
Then<00:24:56.900><c> they</c><00:24:57.099><c> haul</c><00:24:57.240><c> it</c><00:24:57.420><c> up</c>

00:25:10.700 --> 00:25:12.019
That's<00:25:10.880><c> what</c><00:25:10.980><c> they're</c><00:25:11.220><c> doing.</c>

00:25:12.420 --> 00:25:14.920
They<00:25:12.480><c> had</c><00:25:12.680><c> been</c><00:25:13.180><c> followers</c><00:25:13.640><c> of</c><00:25:13.839><c> the</c><00:25:13.960><c> Lord</c><00:25:14.119><c> Jesus</c><00:25:14.460><c> Christ,</c>

00:26:00.099 --> 00:26:03.700

And<00:33:07.700><c> it</c><00:33:07.940><c> says,</c><00:33:08.500><c> the</c><00:33:08.519><c> high</c><00:33:08.940><c> priest</c><00:33:09.279><c> knew</c><00:33:09.500><c> the</c><00:33:09.720><c> family</c><00:33:10.039><c> of</c><00:33:10.259><c> John.</c>

00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:14.099
The<00:33:11.119><c> high</c><00:33:11.359><c> priest</c><00:33:11.839><c> would</c><00:33:12.579><c> have</c><00:33:12.720><c> nothing</c><00:33:12.920><c> to</c><00:33:13.160><c> do</c><00:33:13.279><c> with</c><00:33:13.579><c> poverty</c>

00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:19.240
So<00:33:16.640><c> they</c><00:33:16.940><c> must</c><00:33:17.339><c> have</c><00:33:17.559><c> been</c><00:33:17.759><c> people</c><00:33:18.099><c> with</c><00:33:18.380><c> some</c><00:33:18.779><c> kind</c><00:33:19.000><c> of</c>

00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:27.559
It<00:33:23.359><c> says</c><00:33:23.619><c> later</c><00:33:24.000><c> on</c><00:33:24.480><c> that</c><00:33:24.779><c> out</c><00:33:25.160><c> of</c><00:33:25.400><c> the</c><00:33:25.700><c> substance</c><00:33:26.180><c> of</c><00:33:26.480><c> the</c><00:33:26.799><c> mother</c><00:33:27.259><c> of</c>

00:33:36.440 --> 00:33:39.440
So<00:33:36.619><c> these</c><00:33:36.819><c> are</c><00:33:37.019><c> people</c><00:33:37.420><c> who</c><00:33:37.920><c> are</c><00:33:38.180><c> fairly</c><00:33:38.380><c> well</c><00:33:38.640><c> off.</c>

Most<00:33:39.880><c> of</c><00:33:40.019><c> us</c><00:33:40.119><c> can</c><00:33:40.339><c> relate</c><00:33:40.599><c> to</c><00:33:40.740><c> that</c><00:33:40.920><c> a</c><00:33:41.039><c> little</c><00:33:41.220><c> bit</c><00:33:41.440><c> more</c><00:33:41.599><c> now,</c>

can't<00:33:42.160><c> we?</c>

00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:45.920
When<00:33:43.579><c> we</c><00:33:43.779><c> look</c><00:33:43.960><c> at</c><00:33:44.180><c> James</c><00:33:44.599><c> and</c><00:33:44.859><c> John</c><00:33:45.119><c> and</c><00:33:45.279><c> Peter</c><00:33:45.559><c> and</c><00:33:45.759><c> Andrew</c>

00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:55.480
But<00:33:51.140><c> when</c><00:33:51.500><c> we</c><00:33:51.859><c> see</c><00:33:52.119><c> them</c><00:33:52.359><c> as</c><00:33:52.700><c> people</c><00:33:53.400><c> involved</c><00:33:53.960><c> in</c><00:33:54.240><c> business,</c>

00:33:58.980 --> 00:33:59.900
we<00:33:59.200><c> see</c><00:33:59.380><c> ourselves.</c>

00:34:00.019 --> 00:34:00.740
They're<00:34:00.200><c> just</c><00:34:00.339><c> like</c><00:34:00.599><c> us.</c>

00:34:00.740 --> 00:34:02.740
They're<00:34:00.839><c> just</c><00:34:01.059><c> like</c><00:34:01.299><c> Dev</c><00:34:01.519><c> Ram</c><00:34:01.759><c> Charan</c><00:34:02.000><c> and</c><00:34:02.160><c> everybody</c><00:34:02.539><c> else</c>

00:34:04.619 --> 00:34:05.599
Right?

00:34:05.660 --> 00:34:08.679
They're<00:34:05.839><c> more</c><00:34:06.079><c> like</c><00:34:06.359><c> me</c><00:34:06.599><c> and</c><00:34:06.779><c> less</c><00:34:07.680><c> than</c><00:34:07.859><c> people</c><00:34:08.179><c> that</c><00:34:08.460><c> I</c>

00:34:08.679 --> 00:34:10.239
can't<00:34:09.059><c> understand.</c>

00:34:11.500 --> 00:34:13.699
They're<00:34:11.679><c> people</c><00:34:12.039><c> who</c><00:34:12.260><c> are</c><00:34:12.500><c> making</c><00:34:12.739><c> a</c><00:34:12.940><c> living.</c>

00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:15.659
It<00:34:13.960><c> was</c><00:34:14.099><c> how</c><00:34:14.260><c> they</c><00:34:14.440><c> made</c><00:34:14.579><c> their</c><00:34:14.820><c> living.</c>

00:34:16.400 --> 00:34:20.559
But<00:34:16.920><c> they</c><00:34:17.119><c> were</c><00:34:17.380><c> afraid</c><00:34:18.039><c> to</c><00:34:18.260><c> break</c><00:34:18.519><c> away</c><00:34:18.840><c> from</c><00:34:19.099><c> making</c><00:34:19.380><c> a</c><00:34:19.579><c> living.</c>

00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:23.960
They<00:34:22.820><c> enclose</c><00:34:23.159><c> a</c><00:34:23.360><c> great</c><00:34:23.500><c> multitude.</c>

00:34:24.360 --> 00:34:28.880
And<00:34:24.380><c> when</c><00:34:24.820><c> Simon</c><00:34:25.480><c> Peter,</c><00:34:26.820><c> the</c><00:34:27.000><c> first</c><00:34:27.300><c> time</c><00:34:27.480><c> he's</c><00:34:27.719><c> called</c><00:34:27.880><c> Peter,</c>

00:34:36.179 --> 00:34:38.760
And<00:34:36.360><c> after</c><00:34:36.820><c> that,</c><00:34:37.079><c> in</c><00:34:37.239><c> the</c><00:34:37.519><c> same</c><00:34:37.739><c> record,</c><00:34:38.119><c> it</c><00:34:38.219><c> says</c><00:34:38.340><c> Simon,</c>

00:34:41.460 --> 00:34:45.980
Finally,<00:34:42.940><c> that</c><00:34:42.980><c> little</c><00:34:43.539><c> seed</c><00:34:43.780><c> of</c><00:34:44.139><c> faith</c><00:34:44.320><c> has</c><00:34:44.579><c> begun</c><00:34:44.880><c> to</c><00:34:45.219><c> crack</c><00:34:45.360><c> open</c>

00:34:57.280 --> 00:34:58.340
That's<00:34:57.579><c> what</c><00:34:57.739><c> it</c><00:34:57.920><c> is.</c>

00:34:58.579 --> 00:35:04.659

From<00:38:39.260><c> henceforth</c><00:38:39.820><c> thou</c><00:38:40.619><c> shalt</c><00:38:40.880><c> take</c><00:38:41.179><c> alive</c><00:38:41.480><c> men.</c>

00:38:42.630 --> 00:38:46.320
And<00:38:43.000><c> when</c><00:38:43.179><c> they</c><00:38:43.320><c> had</c><00:38:43.659><c> brought</c><00:38:43.860><c> their</c><00:38:44.519><c> ships</c><00:38:44.920><c> to</c><00:38:45.219><c> land,</c>
