00:00:38.799 --> 00:00:40.600

00:00:42.299 --> 00:00:45.539
Now,<00:00:42.479><c> from</c><00:00:42.679><c> the</c><00:00:42.899><c> time</c><00:00:43.100><c> of</c><00:00:43.359><c> Pentecost</c><00:00:43.920><c> up</c><00:00:44.140><c> to</c><00:00:44.359><c> about</c><00:00:44.600><c> this</c><00:00:44.920><c> time,</c><00:00:45.320><c> the</c>

00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:47.859
well.

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.079
Oh,<00:00:48.179><c> there</c><00:00:48.299><c> was</c><00:00:48.539><c> persecution,</c><00:00:49.179><c> of</c><00:00:49.399><c> course,</c><00:00:49.640><c> but</c><00:00:49.820><c> everything</c>

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:52.380
was<00:00:50.380><c> bright</c><00:00:50.579><c> and</c><00:00:50.820><c> beautiful</c><00:00:51.340><c> insofar</c>

00:00:52.380 --> 00:00:54.899

00:00:56.420 --> 00:01:00.100
Ananias<00:00:56.939><c> and</c><00:00:57.460><c> Sapphire</c><00:00:57.939><c> had</c><00:00:58.240><c> sold</c><00:00:58.439><c> a</c><00:00:58.719><c> parcel</c><00:00:58.960><c> of</c><00:00:59.240><c> ground.</c>

00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.000
This<00:01:00.439><c> is</c><00:01:00.659><c> going</c><00:01:00.780><c> to</c><00:01:01.020><c> result</c><00:01:01.420><c> in</c><00:01:01.700><c> an</c><00:01:01.939><c> incident</c><00:01:02.320><c> that</c><00:01:02.500><c> is</c><00:01:02.719><c> both</c>

00:01:05.260 --> 00:01:07.379
Now<00:01:05.439><c> they</c><00:01:05.579><c> sold</c><00:01:05.859><c> the</c><00:01:06.120><c> parcel</c><00:01:06.400><c> of</c><00:01:06.640><c> ground,</c><00:01:06.900><c> and</c><00:01:07.019><c> they</c><00:01:07.219><c> brought</c>

of<00:01:08.840><c> the</c><00:01:08.980><c> apostles,</c><00:01:09.519><c> saying,</c><00:01:09.859><c> this</c><00:01:10.099><c> is</c><00:01:10.280><c> what</c><00:01:10.439><c> we</c><00:01:10.760><c> received</c><00:01:11.140><c> for</c>

00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:13.040
the<00:01:12.159><c> parcel.</c>

00:01:13.659 --> 00:01:18.480
Now<00:01:13.959><c> though</c><00:01:14.219><c> brotherly</c><00:01:14.719><c> kindness</c><00:01:15.299><c> and</c><00:01:16.859><c> an</c><00:01:17.140><c> unmovable</c><00:01:17.579><c> profession</c><00:01:18.159><c> in</c><00:01:18.359><c> the</c>

00:01:19.980 --> 00:01:23.799
of<00:01:20.120><c> the</c><00:01:20.299><c> consequences,</c><00:01:21.060><c> was</c><00:01:21.379><c> characteristic</c><00:01:22.140><c> of</c><00:01:22.359><c> the</c><00:01:22.560><c> Ecclesia,</c><00:01:23.459><c> they</c>

00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:25.120
still<00:01:24.060><c> possess</c><00:01:24.540><c> human</c><00:01:24.840><c> nature</c>

00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:26.799
just<00:01:25.379><c> like</c><00:01:25.620><c> we</c><00:01:25.879><c> do.</c>

00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:30.900
And<00:01:27.299><c> human</c><00:01:27.459><c> nature</c><00:01:27.859><c> is</c><00:01:28.280><c> characteristic</c><00:01:28.939><c> of</c><00:01:29.299><c> double</c><00:01:29.560><c>-mindedness.</c>

00:01:31.060 --> 00:01:35.519
It<00:01:31.359><c> seeks</c><00:01:31.599><c> to</c><00:01:31.920><c> obtain</c><00:01:32.280><c> the</c><00:01:32.659><c> good</c><00:01:33.299><c> without</c><00:01:34.159><c> the</c><00:01:34.640><c> commitment,</c>

00:01:35.579 --> 00:01:37.260
without<00:01:35.939><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:41.620
It<00:01:38.060><c> wants</c><00:01:38.819><c> to</c><00:01:39.040><c> be</c><00:01:39.280><c> thought</c><00:01:39.500><c> as</c><00:01:39.859><c> righteous</c><00:01:40.340><c> and</c><00:01:40.640><c> just</c><00:01:40.980><c> and</c><00:01:41.280><c> good</c>

00:01:41.620 --> 00:01:43.099
without<00:01:42.120><c> any</c><00:01:42.420><c> kind</c><00:01:42.579><c> of</c><00:01:42.799><c> commitment.</c>

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.439
And<00:01:43.680><c> this</c><00:01:43.859><c> is</c><00:01:44.099><c> the</c><00:01:44.239><c> aim</c><00:01:44.420><c> and</c><00:01:44.659><c> action</c><00:01:44.920><c> of</c><00:01:45.159><c> human</c><00:01:45.359><c> nature,</c><00:01:46.019><c> and</c><00:01:46.299><c> I</c>

00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.280
think<00:01:46.579><c> we</c><00:01:46.739><c> can</c><00:01:46.939><c> all</c><00:01:47.159><c> agree</c><00:01:47.519><c> with</c><00:01:47.719><c> it</c><00:01:47.900><c> as</c><00:01:48.099><c> it</c>

00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:49.739
works<00:01:48.480><c> within</c><00:01:48.760><c> us.</c>

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:54.739
Now<00:01:50.280><c> it</c><00:01:50.500><c> is</c><00:01:50.640><c> certainly</c><00:01:50.840><c> exemplified</c><00:01:51.599><c> here</c><00:01:51.900><c> in</c><00:01:52.060><c> the</c><00:01:52.280><c> experience</c><00:01:52.819><c> of</c><00:01:53.079><c> Ananias</c><00:01:53.599><c> and</c><00:01:53.819><c> Sapphire.</c>

00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.260
It<00:01:55.500><c> was</c><00:01:55.819><c> actually</c><00:01:56.620><c> a</c><00:01:56.959><c> lie.</c>

00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.939
The<00:01:57.879><c> sin</c><00:01:58.060><c> of</c><00:01:58.319><c> Ananias</c><00:01:58.840><c> and</c><00:01:59.060><c> Sapphire</c><00:01:59.459><c> was</c><00:01:59.739><c> a</c><00:01:59.920><c> lie,</c><00:02:00.299><c> acting</c><00:02:00.640><c> out</c>

00:02:00.939 --> 00:02:01.219
of<00:02:01.099><c> lie.</c>

00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:05.540
Remember<00:02:01.879><c> that</c><00:02:02.560><c> they</c><00:02:02.799><c> weren't</c><00:02:03.000><c> compelled</c><00:02:03.599><c> to</c><00:02:03.900><c> sell</c><00:02:04.060><c> the</c><00:02:04.299><c> parcel,</c><00:02:05.400><c> for</c>

00:02:05.540 --> 00:02:07.159
Peter<00:02:05.819><c> says,</c><00:02:06.719><c> well,</c><00:02:06.900><c> while</c><00:02:07.019><c> as</c>

00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.419
it<00:02:07.280><c> remained,</c><00:02:07.859><c> was</c><00:02:07.959><c> it</c><00:02:08.099><c> not</c><00:02:08.300><c> thine</c><00:02:08.580><c> own?</c>

00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:11.800
And<00:02:09.759><c> once</c><00:02:09.939><c> they</c><00:02:10.159><c> did</c><00:02:10.479><c> sell</c><00:02:10.780><c> it,</c><00:02:10.879><c> they</c><00:02:11.060><c> didn't</c><00:02:11.319><c> have</c><00:02:11.539><c> to</c><00:02:11.680><c> give</c>

00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.520

further<00:02:14.860><c> said</c><00:02:15.159><c> that</c><00:02:15.419><c> after</c><00:02:15.719><c> it</c><00:02:15.879><c> was</c><00:02:16.099><c> sold,</c><00:02:16.500><c> was</c><00:02:17.060><c> it</c><00:02:17.219><c> not</c><00:02:17.379><c> in</c>

00:02:19.099 --> 00:02:22.740
But<00:02:19.360><c> the</c><00:02:19.620><c> free</c><00:02:19.840><c> spirit</c><00:02:20.240><c> of</c><00:02:20.500><c> love</c><00:02:20.780><c> and</c><00:02:20.979><c> generosity</c><00:02:21.740><c> alone</c><00:02:22.300><c> should</c><00:02:22.560><c> have</c>

00:02:24.659 --> 00:02:27.960
But<00:02:24.900><c> these</c><00:02:25.300><c> two</c><00:02:25.500><c> were</c><00:02:25.780><c> pretending</c><00:02:26.280><c> something</c><00:02:26.860><c> else.</c>

00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.659
They<00:02:28.360><c> thought</c><00:02:28.580><c> that</c><00:02:28.840><c> the</c><00:02:29.159><c> appearance</c><00:02:29.580><c> was</c><00:02:29.879><c> far</c><00:02:30.199><c> more</c><00:02:30.539><c> important</c><00:02:31.240><c> than</c>

the<00:02:31.960><c> reality.</c>

00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:36.500

The<00:05:04.120><c> story</c><00:05:04.420><c> is</c><00:05:04.660><c> quite</c><00:05:04.879><c> familiar</c><00:05:05.259><c> to</c><00:05:05.500><c> all</c><00:05:05.699><c> of</c><00:05:05.839><c> us.</c>

00:05:07.420 --> 00:05:09.819
There<00:05:07.519><c> was</c><00:05:07.740><c> a</c><00:05:07.920><c> man,</c><00:05:08.300><c> the</c><00:05:08.459><c> captain</c><00:05:08.740><c> of</c><00:05:08.939><c> the</c><00:05:09.060><c> Assyrian</c><00:05:09.500><c> host,</c>

The<00:05:12.279><c> man</c><00:05:12.519><c> was</c><00:05:12.779><c> held</c><00:05:13.040><c> in</c><00:05:13.300><c> honor</c><00:05:13.480><c> and</c><00:05:13.720><c> respect.</c>

00:05:14.939 --> 00:05:18.220
He<00:05:15.139><c> was</c><00:05:15.319><c> loved</c><00:05:15.540><c> by</c><00:05:15.800><c> his</c><00:05:16.019><c> people,</c><00:05:17.019><c> but</c><00:05:17.279><c> he</c><00:05:17.420><c> was</c><00:05:17.639><c> afflicted</c><00:05:18.040><c> with</c>

00:05:28.100 --> 00:05:31.040

00:05:38.860 --> 00:05:41.879
And<00:05:39.019><c> he</c><00:05:39.220><c> said,</c><00:05:39.740><c> As</c><00:05:39.740><c> the</c><00:05:40.000><c> Lord</c><00:05:40.279><c> liveth</c><00:05:40.579><c> before</c><00:05:41.000><c> whom</c><00:05:41.300><c> I</c><00:05:41.560><c> stand,</c>

00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:43.139
I<00:05:42.120><c> will</c><00:05:42.300><c> receive</c><00:05:42.699><c> none.</c>

00:05:43.500 --> 00:05:46.519
And<00:05:43.759><c> he</c><00:05:43.980><c> urged</c><00:05:44.240><c> him</c><00:05:44.439><c> to</c><00:05:44.660><c> take</c><00:05:44.800><c> it,</c><00:05:45.300><c> but</c><00:05:45.600><c> he</c><00:05:45.959><c> refused.</c>

00:05:46.779 --> 00:05:48.139
He<00:05:47.000><c> refused.</c>

00:05:48.300 --> 00:05:52.620
Now<00:05:48.779><c> Elisha</c><00:05:49.259><c> said,</c><00:05:50.100><c> or</c><00:05:50.100><c> the</c><00:05:50.399><c> Assyrian</c><00:05:50.660><c> finally</c><00:05:51.120><c> departs,</c><00:05:52.560><c> and</c>

00:05:52.620 --> 00:05:54.120

00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.800
he's<00:05:54.360><c> overtaken</c><00:05:54.819><c> by</c><00:05:55.100><c> Gehazi,</c><00:05:55.680><c> and</c><00:05:55.800><c> Gehazi,</c><00:05:56.500><c> of</c><00:05:56.500><c> course,</c><00:05:56.680><c> is</c>

00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:59.540
Elisha's<00:05:58.740><c> servant.</c>

00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.360
Now<00:06:00.019><c> this</c><00:06:00.220><c> servant</c><00:06:00.560><c> reasoned,</c><00:06:01.199><c> notice</c><00:06:01.459><c> in</c><00:06:01.600><c> verse</c><00:06:01.839><c> 20.</c>

00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:07.800
But<00:06:04.360><c> Gehazi,</c><00:06:05.100><c> the</c><00:06:05.259><c> servant</c><00:06:05.500><c> of</c><00:06:05.699><c> Elisha,</c><00:06:06.120><c> the</c><00:06:06.300><c> man</c><00:06:06.480><c> of</c><00:06:06.660><c> God,</c><00:06:07.000><c> said,</c><00:06:07.220><c> Behold,</c><00:06:07.579><c> my</c>

master<00:06:08.180><c> has</c><00:06:08.600><c> spared</c>

00:06:08.860 --> 00:06:13.639
Naaman<00:06:09.300><c> this</c><00:06:09.980><c> Assyrian</c><00:06:10.399><c> in</c><00:06:10.740><c> not</c><00:06:11.019><c> receiving</c><00:06:11.399><c> at</c><00:06:11.639><c> his</c><00:06:11.879><c> hands</c><00:06:12.279><c> that</c><00:06:13.060><c> which</c><00:06:13.240><c> he</c><00:06:13.480><c> brought.</c>

00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.639
But<00:06:13.819><c> as</c><00:06:14.100><c> the</c><00:06:14.259><c> Lord</c><00:06:14.500><c> liveth,</c><00:06:14.879><c> I</c><00:06:15.160><c> will</c><00:06:15.360><c> run</c><00:06:15.579><c> after</c><00:06:15.920><c> him</c><00:06:16.180><c> and</c><00:06:16.319><c> take</c>

somewhat<00:06:16.899><c> of</c><00:06:17.100><c> him.</c>

00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:23.360
Now<00:06:19.360><c> it's</c><00:06:19.779><c> rather</c><00:06:20.160><c> strange</c><00:06:20.779><c> that</c><00:06:21.920><c> he</c><00:06:22.259><c> would</c><00:06:22.439><c> go</c><00:06:22.680><c> ahead</c><00:06:23.000><c> and</c><00:06:23.199><c> do</c>

00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.220
this,<00:06:24.579><c> and</c><00:06:24.779><c> using</c><00:06:25.040><c> that</c><00:06:25.300><c> very</c><00:06:25.620><c> same</c><00:06:25.939><c> phrase</c>

00:06:26.220 --> 00:06:27.259
that<00:06:26.480><c> Elisha</c><00:06:26.899><c> did.</c>

00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:29.660
As<00:06:27.819><c> the</c><00:06:28.000><c> Lord</c><00:06:28.240><c> liveth,</c><00:06:28.519><c> I</c><00:06:28.620><c> will</c><00:06:28.860><c> not</c><00:06:29.079><c> take</c><00:06:29.300><c> anything.</c>

00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.879
And<00:06:29.959><c> he</c><00:06:30.199><c> says,</c><00:06:30.480><c> As</c><00:06:30.660><c> the</c><00:06:30.839><c> Lord</c><00:06:31.379><c> liveth,</c><00:06:31.779><c> he</c><00:06:31.959><c> won't.</c>

00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:39.180
So<00:06:35.439><c> it's</c><00:06:35.959><c> a</c><00:06:36.160><c> strange</c><00:06:36.459><c> phrase</c><00:06:37.139><c> to</c><00:06:37.579><c> be</c><00:06:37.680><c> used</c><00:06:37.779><c> by</c><00:06:38.040><c> one</c><00:06:38.279><c> who</c><00:06:38.459><c> is</c><00:06:38.620><c> bent</c><00:06:38.860><c> on</c>

00:06:39.180 --> 00:06:41.519
lying<00:06:39.500><c> and</c><00:06:39.819><c> hypocrisy</c><00:06:40.500><c> and</c><00:06:40.579><c> stealing.</c>

00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:45.339
And<00:06:41.959><c> it</c><00:06:42.139><c> teaches</c><00:06:42.420><c> us</c><00:06:42.779><c> that</c><00:06:43.199><c> phrases</c><00:06:43.680><c> and</c><00:06:44.360><c> formulas</c><00:06:44.819><c> can</c><00:06:45.139><c> drop</c>

00:06:45.339 --> 00:06:47.319
from<00:06:45.600><c> our</c><00:06:45.819><c> lips</c><00:06:46.120><c> quite</c><00:06:46.519><c> naturally</c><00:06:47.019><c> while</c>

00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:49.759
we're<00:06:47.540><c> in</c><00:06:47.639><c> the</c><00:06:47.779><c> act</c><00:06:47.959><c> of</c><00:06:48.139><c> doing</c><00:06:48.300><c> something</c><00:06:48.660><c> wrong.</c>

00:06:50.220 --> 00:06:53.220
And<00:06:50.379><c> it's</c><00:06:50.560><c> partly</c><00:06:50.740><c> so</c><00:06:51.040><c> because</c><00:06:51.360><c> the</c><00:06:51.620><c> phrases</c><00:06:51.959><c> are</c><00:06:52.259><c> so</c><00:06:52.480><c> frequently</c><00:06:52.920><c> used,</c>

00:06:53.220 --> 00:06:55.060
they<00:06:53.480><c> become</c><00:06:53.740><c> mere</c><00:06:54.060><c> forms.</c>

00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:58.839
And<00:06:55.259><c> I</c><00:06:55.420><c> think</c><00:06:55.500><c> in</c><00:06:55.699><c> this</c><00:06:55.920><c> case,</c><00:06:56.240><c> we</c><00:06:56.279><c> have</c><00:06:56.939><c> an</c><00:06:57.360><c> example</c><00:06:57.800><c> of</c><00:06:58.600><c> the</c>

00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:00.980
Lord's<00:06:59.180><c> name</c><00:06:59.379><c> being</c><00:06:59.620><c> taken</c><00:06:59.920><c> in</c><00:07:00.240><c> vain.</c>

00:07:01.139 --> 00:07:04.620
So<00:07:01.399><c> Gehazi</c><00:07:02.060><c> comes</c><00:07:02.720><c> to</c><00:07:02.980><c> Naaman</c><00:07:03.279><c> and</c><00:07:03.540><c> he</c><00:07:03.779><c> bakes</c><00:07:03.920><c> the</c><00:07:04.199><c> first</c><00:07:04.420><c> lie</c>

00:07:04.620 --> 00:07:05.199
to<00:07:04.779><c> him.</c>

00:07:05.660 --> 00:07:07.279
My<00:07:05.899><c> master</c><00:07:06.279><c> has</c><00:07:06.579><c> sent</c><00:07:06.779><c> me.</c>

00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:09.240
And<00:07:07.939><c> then</c><00:07:08.040><c> he</c><00:07:08.300><c> continued</c><00:07:08.620><c> to</c><00:07:08.939><c> lie.</c>

00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:12.759
He<00:07:09.680><c> speaks</c><00:07:09.980><c> about</c><00:07:10.300><c> two</c><00:07:10.600><c> young</c><00:07:10.860><c> men,</c><00:07:11.180><c> sons</c><00:07:11.420><c> of</c><00:07:11.600><c> the</c><00:07:11.800><c> prophet</c><00:07:12.040><c> that</c><00:07:12.259><c> come</c><00:07:12.519><c> to</c>

00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:15.040
Elisha,<00:07:13.579><c> and</c><00:07:13.740><c> they're</c><00:07:14.000><c> in</c><00:07:14.220><c> need.</c>

00:07:15.220 --> 00:07:18.279
And<00:07:15.459><c> so</c><00:07:15.899><c> these</c><00:07:16.360><c> details,</c><00:07:16.860><c> of</c><00:07:17.079><c> course,</c><00:07:17.480><c> serve</c><00:07:17.579><c> to</c><00:07:17.839><c> embellish</c>

the<00:07:18.579><c> story</c><00:07:18.779><c> he's</c><00:07:19.420><c> presenting.</c>

00:07:20.660 --> 00:07:23.899
And<00:07:20.759><c> then</c><00:07:20.879><c> he</c><00:07:20.980><c> says</c><00:07:21.279><c> to</c><00:07:21.600><c> Naaman,</c><00:07:22.439><c> Give</c><00:07:22.540><c> them,</c><00:07:22.779><c> I</c><00:07:22.980><c> pray</c><00:07:23.259><c> thee,</c><00:07:23.699><c> a</c>

00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:38.100
But<00:10:35.320><c> when</c><00:10:35.559><c> they</c><00:10:35.779><c> were</c><00:10:36.000><c> come,</c><00:10:36.279><c> he</c><00:10:36.500><c> withdrew</c><00:10:37.159><c> and</c><00:10:37.600><c> separated</c>

00:10:38.100 --> 00:10:41.980

00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:47.860
So<00:10:45.000><c> must</c><00:10:45.240><c> have</c><00:10:45.440><c> Barnabas</c><00:10:45.919><c> also</c><00:10:46.340><c> was</c><00:10:46.580><c> carried</c><00:10:46.840><c> away</c><00:10:47.340><c> with</c>

from<00:10:59.720><c> James.</c>

00:11:01.179 --> 00:11:06.519
And<00:11:01.299><c> you</c><00:11:01.340><c> know</c><00:11:01.500><c> Peter</c><00:11:01.799><c> had</c><00:11:02.059><c> come</c><00:11:02.240><c> to</c><00:11:02.460><c> see</c><00:11:02.600><c> the</c><00:11:02.799><c> work</c><00:11:03.100><c> of</c><00:11:03.320><c> God</c><00:11:03.500><c> among</c><00:11:03.720><c> the</c><00:11:03.980><c> Gentiles</c><00:11:04.539><c> and</c><00:11:04.860><c> he</c><00:11:05.059><c> rejoiced.</c>

00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:11.559
He<00:11:06.799><c> laid</c><00:11:06.960><c> aside</c><00:11:07.360><c> all</c><00:11:07.779><c> Jewish</c><00:11:08.139><c> prejudices</c><00:11:09.019><c> and</c><00:11:09.340><c> taken</c><00:11:09.539><c> his</c><00:11:09.840><c> seat</c><00:11:10.120><c> beside</c><00:11:10.519><c> the</c><00:11:10.799><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:14.340
He<00:11:11.860><c> ate</c><00:11:12.100><c> whatever</c><00:11:12.480><c> was</c><00:11:12.759><c> placed</c><00:11:13.000><c> before</c><00:11:13.419><c> him.</c>

00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:25.519
And<00:11:22.740><c> it</c><00:11:22.840><c> was</c><00:11:23.019><c> Peter</c><00:11:23.279><c> who</c><00:11:23.480><c> later</c><00:11:23.740><c> on</c><00:11:24.100><c> said</c><00:11:24.259><c> that</c><00:11:24.460><c> the</c><00:11:24.620><c> law</c><00:11:25.059><c> was</c><00:11:25.360><c> a</c>

00:11:32.580 --> 00:11:35.200
You<00:11:32.679><c> see,</c><00:11:33.039><c> brethren</c><00:11:33.220><c> and</c><00:11:33.419><c> sisters,</c><00:11:33.799><c> God</c><00:11:34.120><c> will</c><00:11:34.379><c> not</c><00:11:34.659><c> tolerate</c>

00:11:38.059 --> 00:11:41.419
And<00:11:38.539><c> we're</c><00:11:38.700><c> all</c><00:11:38.919><c> hypocrites</c><00:11:39.320><c> sometime,</c><00:11:40.340><c> but</c><00:11:40.480><c> we</c><00:11:40.659><c> have</c><00:11:40.879><c> to</c><00:11:41.059><c> keep</c><00:11:41.179><c> it</c>

00:11:42.759 --> 00:11:46.559
The<00:11:43.059><c> most</c><00:11:43.519><c> scathing</c><00:11:44.039><c> rebukes</c><00:11:44.620><c> ever</c><00:11:44.980><c> made</c><00:11:45.179><c> in</c><00:11:45.340><c> the</c><00:11:45.519><c> Bible</c><00:11:45.919><c> are</c>

00:11:50.220 --> 00:11:53.720

00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:01.639
The<00:11:57.879><c> Lord</c><00:11:58.120><c> had</c><00:11:58.320><c> been</c><00:11:58.600><c> invited</c><00:11:59.080><c> by</c><00:11:59.620><c> a</c><00:11:59.899><c> Pharisee</c><00:12:00.480><c> to</c><00:12:00.639><c> a</c><00:12:00.799><c> dinner.</c>

Actually<00:12:02.399><c> it</c><00:12:02.480><c> was</c><00:12:02.720><c> a</c><00:12:02.860><c> light</c><00:12:03.019><c> lunch.</c>

00:12:04.379 --> 00:12:08.519
It<00:12:04.940><c> was</c><00:12:05.200><c> not</c><00:12:05.399><c> hospitality</c><00:12:06.179><c> that</c><00:12:06.559><c> prompted</c><00:12:06.820><c> this</c><00:12:07.200><c> Pharisee</c><00:12:07.779><c> to</c>

The<00:16:27.080><c> word</c><00:16:27.320><c> reproaches</c><00:16:28.100><c> is</c><00:16:28.379><c> a</c><00:16:28.559><c> very</c><00:16:28.919><c> strong</c><00:16:29.259><c> word.</c>

The<00:18:21.839><c> Talmud</c><00:18:22.259><c> is</c><00:18:22.599><c> an</c><00:18:22.759><c> illustration</c><00:18:23.359><c> of</c><00:18:23.660><c> the</c><00:18:23.859><c> great</c><00:18:24.140><c> complexity</c>

00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:30.400
Now,<00:18:27.059><c> the</c><00:18:27.259><c> same</c><00:18:27.660><c> bitter</c><00:18:28.440><c> redoubts</c><00:18:28.980><c> were</c><00:18:29.279><c> made</c><00:18:29.759><c> in</c><00:18:29.960><c> the</c><00:18:30.180><c> seven</c>

00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:02.400
And<00:19:00.119><c> as</c><00:19:00.319><c> he</c><00:19:00.539><c> said</c><00:19:00.700><c> these</c><00:19:00.960><c> things</c><00:19:01.259><c> unto</c><00:19:01.500><c> them,</c><00:19:02.000><c> the</c><00:19:02.019><c> scribes</c>

accuse<00:19:14.019><c> him.</c>

00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.460
Now,<00:19:15.619><c> by</c><00:19:15.799><c> this</c><00:19:16.059><c> time,</c><00:19:16.299><c> a</c><00:19:16.480><c> great</c><00:19:16.700><c> multitude</c><00:19:17.299><c> had</c><00:19:17.599><c> gathered</c><00:19:17.920><c> around</c><00:19:18.240><c> the</c>

00:19:20.519 --> 00:19:23.400
They<00:19:20.700><c> were</c><00:19:20.900><c> waiting</c><00:19:21.160><c> to</c><00:19:21.380><c> hear</c><00:19:21.559><c> a</c><00:19:21.720><c> word</c><00:19:21.880><c> from</c><00:19:22.079><c> the</c><00:19:22.220><c> Lord</c><00:19:22.380><c> Jesus</c><00:19:22.779><c> Christ,</c>

and<00:19:23.960><c> it</c><00:19:24.059><c> was</c><00:19:24.299><c> probably</c><00:19:24.740><c> their</c><00:19:25.079><c> presence</c><00:19:25.519><c> that</c><00:19:25.960><c> prevented</c><00:19:26.400><c> the</c>

00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:33.920
So<00:19:30.039><c> Jesus</c><00:19:30.440><c> turns</c><00:19:30.880><c> to</c><00:19:31.079><c> them</c><00:19:31.299><c> in</c><00:19:31.480><c> chapter</c><00:19:31.799><c> 12</c><00:19:32.119><c> and</c><00:19:32.299><c> verse</c><00:19:32.579><c> 1,</c><00:19:33.920><c> and</c>

00:19:40.940 --> 00:19:45.380

00:19:50.140 --> 00:19:52.839
Hypocrisy<00:19:50.700><c> is</c><00:19:50.900><c> a</c><00:19:51.119><c> characteristic</c><00:19:51.660><c> of</c><00:19:51.880><c> the</c><00:19:52.079><c> last</c><00:19:52.359><c> days,</c><00:19:52.759><c> and</c>

00:19:55.180 --> 00:19:58.480
There<00:19:55.559><c> are</c><00:19:56.079><c> some</c><00:19:56.299><c> who</c><00:19:56.500><c> have</c><00:19:56.700><c> a</c><00:19:56.920><c> form</c><00:19:57.160><c> of</c><00:19:57.539><c> godliness</c><00:19:57.940><c> but</c><00:19:58.200><c> deny</c>
