00:00:32.619 --> 00:00:35.460
So,<00:00:33.079><c> having</c><00:00:33.340><c> spent</c><00:00:33.659><c> then</c><00:00:34.039><c> the</c><00:00:34.219><c> first</c><00:00:34.460><c> two</c><00:00:34.740><c> classes</c><00:00:35.119><c> looking</c>

00:00:37.579 --> 00:00:42.579
we're<00:00:37.719><c> going</c><00:00:37.859><c> to</c><00:00:38.100><c> turn</c><00:00:38.520><c> to</c><00:00:39.539><c> the</c><00:00:39.820><c> Jews</c><00:00:40.159><c> today,</c><00:00:40.780><c> to</c><00:00:41.200><c> the</c><00:00:41.380><c> man</c><00:00:41.679><c> Zacchaeus.</c>

00:00:59.539 --> 00:01:02.979
So<00:00:59.679><c> we</c><00:00:59.780><c> want</c><00:00:59.920><c> to</c><00:01:00.520><c> keep</c><00:01:00.679><c> this</c><00:01:00.899><c> in</c><00:01:01.000><c> mind</c><00:01:01.200><c> as</c><00:01:01.359><c> we</c><00:01:01.579><c> progress</c><00:01:01.960><c> through</c><00:01:02.640><c> the</c>

00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:09.140
Now<00:01:04.959><c> our</c><00:01:05.659><c> class</c><00:01:06.260><c> title</c><00:01:06.900><c> is</c><00:01:07.200><c> Zacchaeus,</c><00:01:07.780><c> He</c><00:01:08.000><c> Sought</c><00:01:08.659><c> to</c><00:01:08.980><c> See</c>

00:01:15.540 --> 00:01:19.980
Because<00:01:15.959><c> while</c><00:01:16.540><c> Zacchaeus</c><00:01:17.480><c> goes</c><00:01:17.760><c> out</c><00:01:18.159><c> to</c><00:01:18.480><c> seek</c><00:01:18.879><c> the</c><00:01:19.299><c> Saviour,</c>

00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.120
So<00:01:38.579><c> there's</c><00:01:38.900><c> seeking</c><00:01:39.359><c> occurring</c><00:01:39.879><c> on</c><00:01:40.140><c> both</c><00:01:40.359><c> the</c><00:01:40.480><c> part</c><00:01:40.599><c> of</c><00:01:40.780><c> Zacchaeus</c><00:01:41.579><c> and</c>
