00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:34.900

00:19:40.900 --> 00:19:45.500
So<00:19:41.099><c> this</c><00:19:41.539><c> is</c><00:19:42.059><c> a</c><00:19:42.279><c> fundamental</c><00:19:42.740><c> picture</c><00:19:43.200><c> which</c><00:19:43.559><c> we</c><00:19:43.839><c> see</c><00:19:44.039><c> throughout</c><00:19:44.519><c> Matthew's</c><00:19:45.400><c> gospel.</c>

00:19:45.779 --> 00:19:47.519
This<00:19:46.059><c> is</c><00:19:46.339><c> the</c><00:19:46.460><c> work</c><00:19:46.880><c> of</c><00:19:47.180><c> Jesus.</c>

00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:52.079

00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:03.460
Now<00:19:59.319><c> you</c><00:19:59.380><c> might</c><00:19:59.640><c> ask,</c><00:20:01.539><c> where</c><00:20:01.720><c> does</c><00:20:01.900><c> the</c><00:20:02.039><c> Old</c><00:20:02.240><c> Testament</c><00:20:02.599><c> support</c><00:20:03.119><c> that</c>

00:21:52.019 --> 00:21:57.039

00:21:58.740 --> 00:22:05.259
And<00:21:59.039><c> that</c><00:21:59.259><c> is,</c><00:22:00.460><c> let's</c><00:22:00.740><c> look</c><00:22:00.960><c> at</c><00:22:01.059><c> how</c><00:22:01.240><c> Matthew</c><00:22:01.660><c> uses</c><00:22:02.099><c> the</c><00:22:02.519><c> topical</c><00:22:03.019><c> contextual</c><00:22:03.920><c> method</c><00:22:04.680><c> of</c><00:22:04.940><c> writing,</c>

00:22:05.259 --> 00:22:08.720
Which<00:22:05.740><c> may</c><00:22:06.019><c> be</c><00:22:06.180><c> a</c><00:22:06.259><c> little</c><00:22:06.559><c> foreign</c><00:22:06.799><c> to</c><00:22:07.099><c> our</c><00:22:07.799><c> Western</c><00:22:08.180><c> minds</c>

00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:11.079

00:22:11.539 --> 00:22:12.819
And<00:22:11.960><c> see</c><00:22:12.180><c> how</c><00:22:12.380><c> he</c><00:22:12.480><c> does</c><00:22:12.700><c> it.</c>

00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:19.140
There's<00:22:13.079><c> two</c><00:22:13.740><c> primary</c><00:22:14.539><c> methods</c><00:22:15.019><c> in</c><00:22:15.359><c> which</c><00:22:16.779><c> Matthew</c><00:22:17.359><c> works</c><00:22:18.759><c> on</c><00:22:18.980><c> this.</c>

00:22:19.220 --> 00:22:23.579
One<00:22:19.440><c> is</c><00:22:20.380><c> through</c><00:22:21.559><c> grouping</c><00:22:22.099><c> things</c><00:22:22.519><c> together.</c>

00:22:23.619 --> 00:22:25.539
We<00:22:23.619><c> can</c><00:22:24.299><c> step</c><00:22:24.579><c> aside.</c>

00:22:27.180 --> 00:22:32.839
Let's<00:22:27.559><c> look</c><00:22:27.819><c> at</c><00:22:28.000><c> this</c><00:22:28.240><c> chart</c><00:22:28.420><c> here</c><00:22:30.140><c> called</c><00:22:30.920><c> Context</c><00:22:31.579><c> in</c><00:22:31.839><c> Matthew.</c>

00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:45.980

Now<00:23:40.680><c> I</c><00:23:40.720><c> don't</c><00:23:41.000><c> doubt</c><00:23:41.240><c> that</c><00:23:41.480><c> Jesus</c><00:23:41.819><c> gave</c><00:23:42.740><c> this</c><00:23:43.259><c> whole</c><00:23:43.339><c> discourse</c><00:23:43.720><c> at</c><00:23:43.940><c> one</c><00:23:44.180><c> time.</c>

00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:47.400
And<00:23:45.079><c> certainly</c><00:23:45.359><c> even</c><00:23:45.700><c> that</c><00:23:45.980><c> is</c><00:23:46.220><c> just</c><00:23:46.420><c> a</c><00:23:46.640><c> small</c><00:23:46.839><c> part</c><00:23:47.119><c> of</c><00:23:47.259><c> what</c>

00:23:47.400 --> 00:23:48.980
he<00:23:47.640><c> actually</c><00:23:47.960><c> said</c><00:23:48.160><c> on</c><00:23:48.420><c> that</c><00:23:48.619><c> day.</c>

00:23:49.259 --> 00:23:52.920
But<00:23:49.799><c> it</c><00:23:50.160><c> is</c><00:23:50.359><c> not</c><00:23:50.519><c> recorded</c><00:23:51.099><c> as</c><00:23:51.579><c> such</c><00:23:51.859><c> in</c><00:23:52.119><c> any</c><00:23:52.339><c> other</c><00:23:52.619><c> gospel.</c>

00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:56.900
So<00:23:53.079><c> we</c><00:23:53.240><c> have</c><00:23:53.960><c> all</c><00:23:54.440><c> this</c><00:23:54.759><c> together</c><00:23:55.240><c> in</c><00:23:55.480><c> one</c><00:23:55.779><c> place,</c><00:23:56.440><c> puts</c><00:23:56.619><c> our</c>

00:23:58.940 --> 00:24:02.240
It's<00:23:59.079><c> a</c><00:23:59.220><c> great</c><00:23:59.500><c> context</c><00:24:00.140><c> of</c><00:24:00.779><c> ethical</c><00:24:01.140><c> teaching.</c>

00:24:02.359 --> 00:24:06.220

00:24:06.660 --> 00:24:09.019
I<00:24:06.660><c> think</c><00:24:07.099><c> our</c><00:24:07.420><c> time</c><00:24:07.640><c> has</c><00:24:07.819><c> gone</c><00:24:07.960><c> well.</c>

00:24:09.619 --> 00:24:11.519
A<00:24:09.640><c> lot</c><00:24:09.920><c> of</c><00:24:10.180><c> miracles</c><00:24:10.460><c> of</c><00:24:10.720><c> healing.</c>

00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:15.240
Most<00:24:11.920><c> of</c><00:24:12.079><c> these</c><00:24:12.259><c> miracles</c><00:24:12.599><c> are</c><00:24:12.859><c> recorded</c><00:24:13.319><c> in</c><00:24:13.539><c> Mark</c><00:24:13.819><c> and</c><00:24:14.079><c> in</c><00:24:14.279><c> Luke,</c><00:24:14.559><c> but</c><00:24:14.720><c> not</c><00:24:14.960><c> all</c><00:24:15.160><c> in</c>

00:24:15.240 --> 00:24:15.720
one<00:24:15.519><c> place.</c>

00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:18.579
They're<00:24:16.039><c> scattered</c><00:24:16.380><c> throughout</c><00:24:16.819><c> the</c><00:24:17.559><c> first</c><00:24:17.559><c> roughly</c><00:24:18.220><c> half</c>

00:24:22.779 --> 00:24:26.319
Whether<00:24:22.819><c> they</c><00:24:23.059><c> happen</c><00:24:23.319><c> right</c><00:24:23.640><c> after</c><00:24:23.920><c> each</c><00:24:24.160><c> other</c><00:24:24.480><c> is</c><00:24:25.039><c> not</c><00:24:25.859><c> certain.</c>

00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:28.859
They're<00:24:26.599><c> probably</c><00:24:26.880><c> not.</c><00:24:27.220><c> They</c><00:24:27.440><c> probably</c><00:24:27.720><c> happen</c><00:24:28.000><c> at</c><00:24:28.180><c> different</c><00:24:28.359><c> times.</c>

00:24:29.180 --> 00:24:33.299

00:24:41.740 --> 00:24:43.900
Chapters<00:24:42.119><c> 10</c><00:24:42.400><c> and</c><00:24:42.480><c> 11,</c><00:24:42.839><c> another</c><00:24:43.099><c> great</c><00:24:43.500><c> context.</c>

00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:51.980

the<00:26:26.299><c> judgment.</c>

00:26:26.819 --> 00:26:30.500
The<00:26:26.920><c> ten</c><00:26:27.140><c> virgins,</c><00:26:28.759><c> the</c><00:26:28.960><c> parable</c><00:26:29.240><c> of</c><00:26:29.440><c> the</c><00:26:29.559><c> talents,</c><00:26:30.000><c> the</c><00:26:30.140><c> parable</c><00:26:30.319><c> of</c>

00:26:34.980 --> 00:26:39.660
Things<00:26:35.259><c> unique</c><00:26:35.700><c> to</c><00:26:35.920><c> Matthew</c><00:26:36.200><c> and</c><00:26:36.420><c> he</c><00:26:36.599><c> has</c><00:26:36.779><c> them</c><00:26:37.019><c> all</c><00:26:37.220><c> in</c><00:26:37.380><c> one</c><00:26:37.660><c> place</c><00:26:37.900><c> so</c><00:26:38.099><c> we</c><00:26:38.279><c> can</c><00:26:38.839><c> get</c><00:26:39.440><c> a</c>

00:26:42.180 --> 00:26:46.359
That's<00:26:42.480><c> how</c><00:26:42.740><c> this</c><00:26:43.000><c> gospel</c><00:26:43.359><c> is</c><00:26:43.579><c> put</c><00:26:43.779><c> together</c><00:26:44.180><c> and</c><00:26:44.339><c> that</c><00:26:44.619><c> comprises,</c><00:26:45.099><c> as</c><00:26:45.299><c> you</c><00:26:45.519><c> see,</c><00:26:46.160><c> a</c>

00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:47.519
good<00:26:46.519><c> department.</c>

00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:58.839
Before<00:26:50.079><c> I</c><00:26:50.720><c> turn</c><00:26:51.039><c> this</c><00:26:51.319><c> off,</c><00:26:52.259><c> I</c><00:26:52.440><c> have</c><00:26:52.680><c> indicated</c><00:26:53.200><c> that</c><00:26:53.420><c> our</c><00:26:53.640><c> class</c><00:26:53.940><c> will</c><00:26:55.700><c> today</c><00:26:56.779><c> hopefully</c><00:26:57.220><c> cover</c><00:26:57.519><c> chapters</c><00:26:57.900><c> 89.</c>

00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:02.900
We'll<00:26:59.740><c> skip</c><00:26:59.980><c> over</c><00:27:00.299><c> 10,</c><00:27:00.579><c> 11,</c><00:27:00.960><c> 13</c><00:27:01.380><c> and</c><00:27:01.539><c> go</c><00:27:01.759><c> next</c><00:27:02.059><c> to</c><00:27:02.160><c> chapter</c><00:27:02.420><c> 15.</c>

00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:05.400
That's<00:27:03.880><c> on</c><00:27:04.019><c> schedule</c><00:27:04.259><c> for</c><00:27:04.500><c> tomorrow.</c>

00:27:05.619 --> 00:27:11.079
Then<00:27:05.819><c> a</c><00:27:06.000><c> section</c><00:27:06.240><c> not</c><00:27:06.519><c> on</c><00:27:06.720><c> here</c><00:27:07.220><c> in</c><00:27:07.500><c> 19</c><00:27:07.920><c> and</c><00:27:08.059><c> 20</c><00:27:08.720><c> and</c><00:27:09.599><c> then</c><00:27:09.960><c> close</c><00:27:10.180><c> with</c>

00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:14.359
the<00:27:11.259><c> parables</c><00:27:11.579><c> of</c><00:27:11.839><c> judgment</c><00:27:12.259><c> on</c><00:27:13.420><c> chapter</c><00:27:13.740><c> 25</c>

00:27:14.359 --> 00:27:17.880
and<00:27:14.559><c> some</c><00:27:15.420><c> other</c><00:27:16.039><c> things</c><00:27:16.480><c> here</c><00:27:16.759><c> and</c><00:27:16.940><c> there.</c>

00:27:20.299 --> 00:27:23.599
So<00:27:20.579><c> that's</c><00:27:21.000><c> the</c><00:27:21.619><c> way</c><00:27:21.880><c> Matthew</c><00:27:22.380><c> uses</c><00:27:22.859><c> the</c><00:27:23.160><c> context.</c>

00:27:23.660 --> 00:27:28.059
You<00:27:23.759><c> will</c><00:27:24.099><c> not</c><00:27:24.420><c> find</c><00:27:25.200><c> such</c><00:27:25.700><c> groupings</c><00:27:26.200><c> in</c><00:27:26.559><c> any</c><00:27:26.900><c> of</c><00:27:27.119><c> the</c><00:27:27.240><c> other</c><00:27:27.480><c> gospels.</c>

00:27:28.460 --> 00:27:32.099
Another<00:27:28.880><c> device</c><00:27:29.380><c> that</c><00:27:29.640><c> Matthew</c><00:27:30.019><c> uses</c><00:27:30.519><c> when</c><00:27:30.900><c> things</c><00:27:31.299><c> are</c><00:27:31.700><c> not</c>

00:27:32.099 --> 00:27:37.400
together<00:27:33.460><c> literally,</c><00:27:34.720><c> that</c><00:27:35.059><c> is</c><00:27:35.339><c> following</c><00:27:35.660><c> one</c><00:27:35.960><c> right</c><00:27:36.160><c> after</c><00:27:36.460><c> another,</c>

00:27:37.779 --> 00:27:44.380
we<00:27:38.339><c> have</c><00:27:38.900><c> phrases</c><00:27:39.680><c> that</c><00:27:39.960><c> Matthew</c><00:27:40.339><c> uses</c><00:27:41.019><c> to</c><00:27:43.140><c> tie</c><00:27:43.500><c> things</c><00:27:43.859><c> together.</c>

00:27:44.619 --> 00:27:46.119
Let's<00:27:44.759><c> look</c><00:27:44.960><c> at</c><00:27:45.140><c> some</c><00:27:45.279><c> of</c><00:27:45.440><c> those.</c>

00:27:46.539 --> 00:27:55.900
I<00:27:46.559><c> have</c><00:27:47.059><c> just,</c><00:27:49.059><c> for</c><00:27:50.180><c> no</c><00:27:50.720><c> real</c><00:27:51.839><c> reason,</c><00:27:55.119><c> I</c><00:27:55.180><c> just</c><00:27:55.400><c> used</c><00:27:55.619><c> the</c>

00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:02.720
That's<00:28:00.759><c> not</c><00:28:00.940><c> any</c><00:28:01.180><c> official</c><00:28:01.539><c> title,</c><00:28:01.960><c> it's</c><00:28:02.140><c> just</c><00:28:02.240><c> something</c><00:28:02.480><c> I</c>

00:28:04.180 --> 00:28:08.059
Matthew<00:28:04.839><c> uses</c><00:28:05.319><c> certain</c><00:28:05.759><c> phrases</c><00:28:06.160><c> to</c><00:28:06.519><c> link</c><00:28:06.799><c> together</c><00:28:07.640><c> certain</c>

00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:12.960
which<00:28:10.099><c> I</c><00:28:10.400><c> believe</c><00:28:10.720><c> he</c><00:28:10.859><c> would</c><00:28:11.059><c> have</c><00:28:11.220><c> us</c><00:28:11.420><c> consider</c><00:28:12.039><c> altogether</c>

00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:16.160
and<00:28:13.440><c> draw</c><00:28:13.819><c> all</c><00:28:14.200><c> the</c><00:28:14.380><c> lessons</c><00:28:14.640><c> therefore</c><00:28:15.099><c> together.</c>

00:28:16.220 --> 00:28:20.519
For<00:28:16.440><c> instance,</c><00:28:19.200><c> the,</c><00:28:19.200><c> what</c><00:28:19.380><c> do</c><00:28:19.539><c> I</c><00:28:19.599><c> have</c><00:28:19.759><c> here?</c>

00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:25.859
Okay,<00:28:22.140><c> this</c><00:28:22.299><c> phrase,</c><00:28:23.519><c> people</c><00:28:24.099><c> being</c><00:28:24.359><c> cast</c><00:28:24.660><c> into</c><00:28:24.900><c> outer</c><00:28:25.180><c> darkness</c><00:28:25.619><c> where</c>

00:28:25.859 --> 00:28:27.819
there<00:28:25.960><c> will</c><00:28:26.160><c> be</c><00:28:26.339><c> weeping</c><00:28:26.680><c> and</c><00:28:26.900><c> gnashing</c><00:28:27.200><c> of</c><00:28:27.480><c> teeth.</c>

00:28:28.099 --> 00:28:32.539
That<00:28:28.460><c> occurs</c><00:28:29.779><c> six</c><00:28:30.440><c> times</c><00:28:31.079><c> in</c><00:28:31.579><c> Matthew's</c><00:28:32.220><c> gospel.</c>

00:28:32.539 --> 00:28:36.460
I<00:28:32.880><c> think</c><00:28:33.220><c> it's</c><00:28:33.819><c> one</c><00:28:34.019><c> other,</c><00:28:34.319><c> it's</c><00:28:34.500><c> only</c><00:28:34.680><c> in</c><00:28:34.880><c> Luke</c><00:28:35.119><c> 13,</c><00:28:35.680><c> 28</c><00:28:36.180><c> is</c>

so<00:31:42.779><c> if</c><00:31:43.000><c> anybody</c><00:31:43.359><c> is</c><00:31:43.680><c> just</c><00:31:43.880><c> listening</c><00:31:44.119><c> to</c><00:31:44.359><c> the</c><00:31:44.539><c> tape</c><00:31:44.700><c> and</c><00:31:44.920><c> not</c>

00:31:50.680 --> 00:32:00.700
Okay,<00:31:55.619><c> those</c><00:31:55.900><c> three</c><00:31:56.279><c> things</c><00:31:56.660><c> then</c><00:31:57.339><c> are</c><00:31:59.619><c> the</c><00:31:59.980><c> things</c><00:32:00.200><c> to</c><00:32:00.440><c> remember</c>

00:32:00.700 --> 00:32:03.059
and<00:32:00.859><c> the</c><00:32:01.000><c> things</c><00:32:01.119><c> we'll</c><00:32:01.380><c> try</c><00:32:01.500><c> to</c><00:32:01.700><c> emphasize</c><00:32:02.140><c> throughout</c><00:32:02.519><c> this</c><00:32:02.799><c> study.</c>

00:32:03.059 --> 00:32:06.359
The<00:32:03.480><c> Old</c><00:32:03.759><c> Testament</c><00:32:04.119><c> dependence,</c><00:32:05.140><c> the</c><00:32:05.279><c> picture</c><00:32:05.519><c> of</c><00:32:05.660><c> Jesus</c><00:32:06.099><c> as</c>

00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:08.079

00:32:08.440 --> 00:32:12.220
and<00:32:08.740><c> this</c><00:32:09.160><c> idea</c><00:32:09.539><c> of</c><00:32:09.740><c> the</c><00:32:09.940><c> topical</c><00:32:10.619><c> contextual</c><00:32:11.220><c> approach</c><00:32:11.619><c> to</c><00:32:11.859><c> Matthew.</c>

00:32:12.539 --> 00:32:15.079
Now,<00:32:12.799><c> that's</c><00:32:13.039><c> enough,</c><00:32:13.319><c> I</c><00:32:13.519><c> believe,</c><00:32:13.880><c> of</c><00:32:14.079><c> introductory</c><00:32:14.579><c> talk,</c>

00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:19.920

00:32:20.099 --> 00:32:22.859
It<00:32:20.619><c> will</c><00:32:20.779><c> become</c><00:32:21.039><c> clear</c><00:32:21.279><c> if</c><00:32:21.480><c> I</c><00:32:21.680><c> find</c><00:32:21.799><c> my</c><00:32:22.019><c> next</c><00:32:22.259><c> page</c><00:32:22.480><c> of</c><00:32:22.660><c> notes</c>

Okay,<00:32:26.660><c> let's</c><00:32:26.859><c> turn</c><00:32:27.059><c> to</c><00:32:27.160><c> Matthew</c><00:32:27.500><c> chapter</c><00:32:27.779><c> 8</c><00:32:28.000><c> and</c><00:32:28.119><c> chapter</c><00:32:28.440><c> 9.</c>

00:32:30.500 --> 00:32:35.240

00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:17.259
And<00:33:13.980><c> Jesus</c><00:33:14.299><c> said,</c><00:33:14.740><c> no,</c><00:33:15.019><c> not</c><00:33:15.200><c> even</c><00:33:15.440><c> in</c><00:33:15.619><c> Israel</c><00:33:15.839><c> have</c><00:33:16.059><c> I</c><00:33:16.160><c> seen</c><00:33:16.440><c> such</c><00:33:16.740><c> faith</c><00:33:17.019><c> as</c>

Excuse<00:33:22.180><c> me,</c><00:33:24.059><c> that's</c><00:33:24.079><c> not</c><00:33:24.299><c> when</c><00:33:24.400><c> he</c><00:33:24.599><c> said</c><00:33:24.720><c> that</c><00:33:24.859><c> phrase.</c>

00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:27.220
This<00:33:25.339><c> was</c><00:33:25.599><c> the</c><00:33:25.779><c> rule</c><00:33:26.000><c> of</c><00:33:26.240><c> the</c><00:33:26.380><c> synagogue.</c>

00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:29.420
No,<00:33:28.140><c> I'm</c><00:33:28.700><c> getting</c><00:33:29.000><c> confused.</c>

00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:37.240
We'll<00:33:35.440><c> talk</c><00:33:35.660><c> about</c><00:33:35.859><c> him</c><00:33:36.059><c> later.</c>

00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:43.079
Okay,<00:33:38.440><c> number</c><00:33:38.759><c> three,</c><00:33:39.720><c> Peter's</c><00:33:40.140><c> mother,</c><00:33:40.920><c> healed</c><00:33:41.359><c> of</c><00:33:41.559><c> a</c><00:33:41.759><c> high</c><00:33:42.200><c> fever.</c>

00:33:44.259 --> 00:33:50.019
Then,<00:33:45.200><c> after</c><00:33:45.420><c> those</c><00:33:45.720><c> three,</c><00:33:46.299><c> this</c><00:33:46.539><c> is</c><00:33:47.180><c> in</c><00:33:47.380><c> Matthew,</c><00:33:47.819><c> there</c><00:33:48.680><c> are</c><00:33:48.839><c> two</c><00:33:49.119><c> followers</c><00:33:49.559><c> of</c><00:33:49.839><c> mine.</c>

00:33:50.019 --> 00:33:54.000
That's<00:33:50.400><c> when</c><00:33:50.579><c> one</c><00:33:50.819><c> said,</c><00:33:51.980><c> Lord,</c><00:33:53.119><c> I</c><00:33:53.240><c> would</c><00:33:53.500><c> follow</c><00:33:53.779><c> thee.</c>

00:33:54.099 --> 00:33:59.880
And<00:33:54.220><c> Jesus</c><00:33:54.519><c> says,</c><00:33:55.299><c> foxes</c><00:33:57.200><c> have</c><00:33:57.559><c> nets</c><00:33:58.019><c> and</c><00:33:58.880><c> so</c><00:33:59.259><c> forth,</c><00:33:59.599><c> but</c><00:33:59.720><c> the</c>

00:33:59.880 --> 00:34:02.079

The<00:34:02.279><c> other</c><00:34:02.539><c> one</c><00:34:03.259><c> said,</c><00:34:03.480><c> let</c><00:34:03.680><c> me</c><00:34:03.759><c> go</c><00:34:04.079><c> first</c><00:34:04.299><c> and</c><00:34:04.559><c> bury</c><00:34:04.619><c> my</c><00:34:04.960><c> father.</c>

00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:07.240
And<00:34:05.579><c> Jesus</c><00:34:05.779><c> said,</c><00:34:06.180><c> let</c><00:34:06.200><c> the</c><00:34:06.500><c> dead</c><00:34:06.660><c> bury</c><00:34:06.900><c> the</c><00:34:07.140><c> dead.</c>

00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:10.099
So<00:34:07.440><c> a</c><00:34:07.480><c> little</c><00:34:07.660><c> bit</c><00:34:07.880><c> of</c><00:34:08.059><c> break</c><00:34:08.260><c> in</c><00:34:08.460><c> the</c><00:34:08.659><c> miracles</c><00:34:09.119><c> working.</c>

00:34:12.679 --> 00:34:15.079
Okay,<00:34:13.119><c> the</c><00:34:13.260><c> next</c><00:34:13.539><c> thing</c><00:34:13.699><c> that</c><00:34:14.000><c> happens</c><00:34:14.260><c> is</c><00:34:14.460><c> they're</c><00:34:14.679><c> on</c><00:34:14.880><c> the</c>

00:34:16.500 --> 00:34:20.179
And<00:34:16.659><c> Jesus</c><00:34:17.139><c> is</c><00:34:17.679><c> awakened</c><00:34:18.059><c> and</c><00:34:18.519><c> calms</c><00:34:18.880><c> the</c><00:34:19.119><c> storm.</c>

00:34:20.980 --> 00:34:24.219
Right<00:34:21.119><c> after</c><00:34:21.480><c> that,</c><00:34:22.099><c> the</c><00:34:22.280><c> gathering</c><00:34:22.699><c> demoniacs</c><00:34:23.659><c> are</c><00:34:23.760><c> purged</c>

00:34:26.059 --> 00:34:32.900
And<00:34:26.079><c> the</c><00:34:26.420><c> swine</c><00:34:27.199><c> run</c><00:34:27.639><c> en</c><00:34:28.019><c> masse</c><00:34:28.559><c> and</c><00:34:29.579><c> plunge</c><00:34:30.300><c> into</c><00:34:30.800><c> the</c><00:34:31.280><c> Sea</c><00:34:31.639><c> of</c><00:34:31.840><c> Galilee.</c>

00:34:33.539 --> 00:34:36.539
Then<00:34:34.019><c> there's</c><00:34:34.760><c> the</c><00:34:34.980><c> forgiving</c><00:34:35.239><c> and</c><00:34:35.420><c> the</c><00:34:35.599><c> healing</c><00:34:35.760><c> of</c><00:34:35.940><c> the</c><00:34:36.159><c> paralytic,</c>

00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:40.079
the<00:34:36.800><c> man</c><00:34:37.039><c> who</c><00:34:37.239><c> was</c><00:34:37.420><c> let</c><00:34:37.559><c> down</c><00:34:37.960><c> through</c><00:34:38.199><c> the</c><00:34:38.340><c> opening</c><00:34:38.880><c> of</c><00:34:39.400><c> the</c><00:34:39.639><c> house,</c>

00:34:40.340 --> 00:34:44.099
most<00:34:40.559><c> likely</c><00:34:41.079><c> the</c><00:34:41.400><c> synagogue</c><00:34:41.900><c> by</c><00:34:42.699><c> his</c><00:34:43.059><c> four</c><00:34:43.460><c> friends.</c>

00:34:44.099 --> 00:34:48.360
And<00:34:44.500><c> Jesus</c><00:34:44.940><c> forgave</c><00:34:45.400><c> his</c><00:34:45.619><c> sins</c><00:34:45.980><c> and</c><00:34:46.659><c> had</c><00:34:46.900><c> a</c><00:34:47.000><c> bit</c><00:34:47.159><c> of</c><00:34:47.420><c> contention</c><00:34:47.800><c> there</c><00:34:48.059><c> when</c><00:34:48.159><c> he</c>

00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:48.800
was<00:34:48.559><c> asked,</c>

00:34:48.960 --> 00:34:50.059
who<00:34:48.960><c> are</c><00:34:49.119><c> you</c><00:34:49.280><c> to</c><00:34:49.480><c> forgive</c><00:34:49.760><c> sins?</c>

00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:54.000
But<00:34:50.300><c> he</c><00:34:50.500><c> says,</c><00:34:51.179><c> if</c><00:34:51.380><c> I</c><00:34:51.480><c> can</c><00:34:51.659><c> heal</c><00:34:51.900><c> a</c><00:34:52.099><c> man,</c><00:34:52.800><c> I</c><00:34:52.900><c> have</c><00:34:53.039><c> the</c><00:34:53.239><c> power</c><00:34:53.579><c> to</c>

00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:55.360
forgive<00:34:54.320><c> sins.</c>

00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:57.280
Then,<00:34:55.940><c> after</c><00:34:56.400><c> those</c><00:34:56.699><c> three</c><00:34:56.820><c> miracles,</c>

00:34:57.400 --> 00:35:01.079
Matthew<00:34:57.940><c> now</c><00:34:58.400><c> inserts</c><00:34:58.760><c> his</c><00:34:59.119><c> own</c><00:34:59.880><c> record</c><00:35:00.199><c> of</c><00:35:00.400><c> Jesus</c><00:35:00.719><c> calling</c>

00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:03.340
him<00:35:01.400><c> from</c><00:35:01.679><c> the</c><00:35:01.940><c> receipt</c><00:35:02.139><c> of</c><00:35:02.480><c> custom.</c>

00:35:03.820 --> 00:35:06.260
And<00:35:04.059><c> then</c><00:35:04.239><c> the</c><00:35:04.480><c> feast</c><00:35:04.719><c> which</c><00:35:05.000><c> Matthew</c><00:35:05.320><c> has</c><00:35:05.619><c> in</c><00:35:05.800><c> his</c><00:35:05.980><c> house</c>

00:35:06.260 --> 00:35:10.460
and<00:35:06.440><c> the</c><00:35:06.679><c> questions</c><00:35:07.059><c> which</c><00:35:07.960><c> some</c><00:35:08.219><c> asked</c><00:35:08.539><c> him</c><00:35:08.760><c> concerning</c><00:35:09.300><c> fasting.</c>

00:35:11.159 --> 00:35:15.480
After<00:35:11.719><c> that,</c><00:35:12.440><c> it</c><00:35:12.480><c> goes</c><00:35:12.800><c> to</c><00:35:14.179><c> the</c><00:35:14.360><c> raising</c><00:35:14.739><c> of</c><00:35:15.019><c> the</c><00:35:15.239><c> dead,</c>

00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:18.340
the<00:35:15.719><c> first</c><00:35:16.000><c> resurrection</c><00:35:16.659><c> in</c><00:35:16.920><c> the</c><00:35:17.000><c> New</c><00:35:17.179><c> Testament,</c>

00:35:18.460 --> 00:35:19.760
the<00:35:18.639><c> first</c><00:35:18.880><c> raising</c><00:35:19.260><c> from</c><00:35:19.559><c> the</c><00:35:19.639><c> dead.</c>

00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:23.119
We<00:35:19.940><c> would</c><00:35:20.159><c> like</c><00:35:20.420><c> for</c><00:35:20.500><c> us</c><00:35:20.659><c> to</c><00:35:20.800><c> distinguish</c><00:35:21.099><c> that</c><00:35:21.400><c> from</c><00:35:22.059><c> the</c><00:35:22.400><c> resurrection,</c><00:35:22.820><c> of</c>

00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:25.000
course,<00:35:23.300><c> to</c><00:35:23.480><c> eternal</c><00:35:23.820><c> life,</c>

00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:27.579
of<00:35:25.860><c> Jairus'</c><00:35:26.519><c> daughter.</c>

00:35:29.300 --> 00:35:33.219
The<00:35:29.860><c> woman,</c><00:35:30.420><c> a</c><00:35:30.440><c> woman</c><00:35:30.860><c> singular</c><00:35:31.239><c> with</c><00:35:31.679><c> the</c><00:35:31.980><c> 12</c><00:35:32.280><c>-year</c><00:35:32.539><c> issue</c><00:35:32.840><c> of</c><00:35:33.079><c> blood,</c>

00:35:33.380 --> 00:35:35.219
is<00:35:33.500><c> also</c><00:35:33.860><c> healed</c><00:35:34.099><c> at</c><00:35:34.380><c> that</c><00:35:34.900><c> time.</c>

00:35:35.360 --> 00:35:37.780
Those<00:35:35.619><c> are</c><00:35:36.239><c> intertwined</c><00:35:36.820><c> events.</c>

00:35:38.420 --> 00:35:42.480
Number<00:35:39.059><c> nine,</c><00:35:40.059><c> two</c><00:35:40.300><c> blind</c><00:35:40.639><c> men</c><00:35:40.940><c> are</c><00:35:41.159><c> given</c><00:35:41.360><c> sight.</c>

00:35:43.059 --> 00:35:46.619
Number<00:35:43.199><c> ten,</c><00:35:44.480><c> a</c><00:35:44.719><c> dumb</c><00:35:45.159><c> demoniac</c><00:35:45.980><c> is</c><00:35:46.340><c> healed.</c>

00:35:47.000 --> 00:35:50.260
So<00:35:47.139><c> we</c><00:35:47.280><c> have</c><00:35:47.500><c> ten</c><00:35:47.840><c> miracles</c><00:35:48.500><c> broken</c><00:35:49.139><c> up</c><00:35:49.380><c> into</c><00:35:49.659><c> three</c><00:35:49.980><c> groups,</c>

00:35:50.340 --> 00:35:52.900
three,<00:35:50.920><c> three,</c><00:35:51.699><c> and</c><00:35:51.960><c> then</c><00:35:52.519><c> four.</c>

00:35:53.159 --> 00:36:00.340
And<00:35:53.360><c> the</c><00:35:53.599><c> two</c><00:35:55.059><c> items</c><00:35:55.800><c> listed</c><00:35:56.260><c> in</c><00:35:56.539><c> black</c><00:35:56.840><c> are</c><00:35:58.159><c> items</c><00:35:58.559><c> of</c><00:35:59.480><c> discipleship,</c>

00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:02.400
people<00:36:01.000><c> calling</c><00:36:01.280><c> people</c><00:36:01.639><c> to</c><00:36:01.800><c> discipleship.</c>

00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:05.300
So<00:36:02.579><c> we</c><00:36:02.639><c> get</c><00:36:02.699><c> the</c><00:36:02.940><c> overall</c><00:36:03.199><c> picture</c><00:36:03.579><c> is</c><00:36:03.860><c> that</c><00:36:04.320><c> while</c><00:36:04.639><c> Jesus</c><00:36:05.059><c> is</c>

00:36:05.300 --> 00:36:06.039
doing<00:36:05.480><c> the</c><00:36:05.719><c> miracles</c>

00:36:06.039 --> 00:36:08.739
and<00:36:06.420><c> working</c><00:36:06.579><c> and</c><00:36:07.239><c> testifying</c><00:36:07.820><c> to</c><00:36:08.000><c> who</c><00:36:08.159><c> he</c><00:36:08.340><c> is,</c>

00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:12.980
that<00:36:09.340><c> people</c><00:36:09.679><c> are</c><00:36:09.900><c> starting</c><00:36:10.179><c> to</c><00:36:10.460><c> come</c><00:36:10.780><c> and</c><00:36:11.260><c> to</c><00:36:11.739><c> follow</c><00:36:12.039><c> him.</c>

00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:16.880
Now<00:36:13.380><c> I'd</c><00:36:13.619><c> like</c><00:36:13.699><c> to</c><00:36:14.059><c> concentrate</c><00:36:14.440><c> for</c><00:36:14.679><c> the</c><00:36:14.800><c> rest</c><00:36:15.000><c> of</c><00:36:15.199><c> this</c><00:36:15.780><c> 20</c>

minutes<00:36:17.199><c> or</c><00:36:17.480><c> so</c><00:36:17.920><c> on</c><00:36:18.480><c> three</c><00:36:18.800><c> of</c><00:36:19.000><c> these.</c>

00:36:23.400 --> 00:36:25.500
So<00:36:23.639><c> I</c><00:36:23.679><c> will</c><00:36:24.559><c> mark.</c>

00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:31.519

Now<00:36:42.099><c> all</c><00:36:42.500><c> three</c><00:36:42.739><c> of</c><00:36:42.900><c> these</c><00:36:43.099><c> and</c><00:36:43.239><c> many</c><00:36:43.559><c> of</c><00:36:43.699><c> these</c><00:36:43.840><c> others</c><00:36:44.039><c> are</c>

The<00:36:47.219><c> others</c><00:36:47.400><c> are</c><00:36:47.599><c> not</c><00:36:47.800><c> for</c><00:36:47.960><c> Gospel</c><00:36:48.400><c> writers,</c>

They're<00:36:56.579><c> dispersed</c><00:36:56.980><c> in</c><00:36:57.219><c> various</c><00:36:57.440><c> places.</c>

00:36:57.739 --> 00:37:00.019
Because<00:36:57.840><c> only</c><00:36:58.079><c> Matthew</c><00:36:58.360><c> gives</c><00:36:58.599><c> us</c><00:36:58.880><c> this</c><00:36:59.059><c> whole</c><00:36:59.340><c> thing</c><00:36:59.519><c> in</c><00:36:59.699><c> one</c>

Just<00:43:25.739><c> as</c><00:43:25.920><c> an</c><00:43:26.059><c> aside,</c><00:43:26.719><c> leprosy</c><00:43:28.079><c> is</c><00:43:28.480><c> regarded</c><00:43:29.480><c> and</c><00:43:29.719><c> has</c><00:43:30.000><c> been</c>

00:43:30.619 --> 00:43:35.159
for<00:43:31.639><c> probably</c><00:43:33.079><c> ever</c><00:43:33.380><c> since</c><00:43:33.679><c> the</c><00:43:33.960><c> disease</c><00:43:34.320><c> was</c><00:43:34.679><c> known</c>

00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:39.579
to<00:43:35.860><c> be</c><00:43:36.179><c> a</c><00:43:36.619><c> symbol</c><00:43:36.900><c> of</c><00:43:37.119><c> man's</c><00:43:37.800><c> sinful</c><00:43:38.179><c> nature</c><00:43:38.659><c> and</c><00:43:38.940><c> sinful</c><00:43:39.300><c> acts.</c>

00:43:39.579 --> 00:43:42.179
And<00:43:39.780><c> it's</c><00:43:40.360><c> quite</c><00:43:40.579><c> appropriately</c><00:43:41.119><c> so.</c>

00:43:42.619 --> 00:43:45.039
I've<00:43:42.739><c> read</c><00:43:42.860><c> a</c><00:43:42.940><c> little</c><00:43:43.139><c> bit</c><00:43:43.280><c> on</c><00:43:43.440><c> leprosy</c><00:43:43.860><c> recently</c><00:43:44.420><c> and</c><00:43:44.840><c> there</c>

00:43:45.039 --> 00:43:47.460
seem<00:43:45.199><c> to</c><00:43:45.320><c> be</c><00:43:45.400><c> two</c><00:43:45.659><c> features</c><00:43:46.019><c> of</c><00:43:46.280><c> the</c><00:43:46.500><c> disease.</c>

00:43:47.820 --> 00:43:49.000
It<00:43:48.019><c> works</c><00:43:48.260><c> in</c><00:43:48.460><c> two</c><00:43:48.639><c> ways.</c>

00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:52.760
One<00:43:49.320><c> is</c><00:43:50.019><c> the</c><00:43:50.380><c> more</c><00:43:50.679><c> familiar</c><00:43:51.039><c> aspect</c><00:43:51.480><c> of</c><00:43:51.659><c> the</c><00:43:51.880><c> rotting</c><00:43:52.239><c> of</c><00:43:52.420><c> the</c>

00:43:52.760 --> 00:44:00.300

00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:02.840
Well,<00:44:00.480><c> that</c><00:44:00.920><c> right</c><00:44:01.179><c> there</c><00:44:01.400><c> tells</c><00:44:01.599><c> you</c><00:44:01.800><c> that's</c><00:44:02.139><c> what</c><00:44:02.360><c> sin</c><00:44:02.599><c> is,</c>

00:44:02.900 --> 00:44:03.960
isn't<00:44:03.019><c> it?</c>

00:44:03.960 --> 00:44:08.940
The<00:44:04.420><c> slow</c><00:44:04.840><c> but</c><00:44:05.119><c> certain</c><00:44:05.460><c> rotting</c><00:44:05.900><c> of</c><00:44:06.019><c> the</c><00:44:06.260><c> flesh</c><00:44:06.639><c> ending</c><00:44:07.480><c> in</c>

00:44:08.940 --> 00:44:12.500
the<00:44:09.579><c> death</c><00:44:09.840><c> of</c><00:44:10.019><c> those</c><00:44:10.320><c> who</c><00:44:10.579><c> practice</c><00:44:10.940><c> it</c><00:44:11.519><c> forever.</c>

00:44:12.960 --> 00:44:16.440
But<00:44:13.000><c> another</c><00:44:13.260><c> aspect</c><00:44:13.820><c> of</c><00:44:14.019><c> leprosy,</c><00:44:15.719><c> perhaps</c><00:44:15.800><c> or</c><00:44:16.039><c> maybe</c><00:44:16.260><c> even</c>

00:44:16.440 --> 00:44:19.239
the<00:44:16.539><c> more</c><00:44:16.719><c> important</c><00:44:17.000><c> one,</c><00:44:17.699><c> is</c><00:44:17.820><c> the</c><00:44:18.019><c> insensitivity.</c>

00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:23.880
It's<00:44:19.980><c> really</c><00:44:20.340><c> a</c><00:44:21.179><c> disease</c><00:44:21.579><c> that</c><00:44:21.880><c> attacks</c><00:44:22.219><c> the</c><00:44:22.599><c> nerves</c><00:44:23.119><c> and</c><00:44:23.719><c> the</c>

00:44:23.880 --> 00:44:25.179
people<00:44:24.099><c> can't</c><00:44:24.500><c> feel</c><00:44:24.820><c> anymore.</c>

00:44:25.239 --> 00:44:27.579
They<00:44:25.360><c> have</c><00:44:25.500><c> no</c><00:44:25.820><c> sensitivity</c><00:44:26.440><c> in</c><00:44:26.639><c> their</c><00:44:26.820><c> hands</c><00:44:27.119><c> and</c><00:44:27.300><c> in</c><00:44:27.400><c> their</c>

00:44:31.079 --> 00:44:34.800
And<00:44:31.780><c> as</c><00:44:31.980><c> such,</c><00:44:32.980><c> they</c><00:44:33.019><c> do</c><00:44:33.199><c> great</c><00:44:33.440><c> damage</c><00:44:33.840><c> to</c><00:44:34.059><c> themselves</c><00:44:34.599><c> when</c>

00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:35.880
people<00:44:35.039><c> have</c><00:44:35.280><c> leprosy.</c>

00:44:36.179 --> 00:44:41.659
One<00:44:36.420><c> man,</c><00:44:37.599><c> a</c><00:44:37.820><c> leper,</c><00:44:38.780><c> this</c><00:44:38.980><c> is</c><00:44:39.280><c> recent,</c><00:44:40.599><c> blinded</c><00:44:41.159><c> himself.</c>

00:44:42.059 --> 00:44:44.260
He<00:44:42.179><c> washed</c><00:44:42.440><c> his</c><00:44:42.679><c> face</c><00:44:42.920><c> continually</c><00:44:43.460><c> with</c><00:44:43.719><c> scalding</c><00:44:44.019><c> water.</c>

00:44:44.300 --> 00:44:45.800
He<00:44:44.380><c> didn't</c><00:44:44.599><c> know</c><00:44:44.760><c> it</c><00:44:44.880><c> was</c><00:44:44.960><c> boiling</c><00:44:45.260><c> water.</c>

00:44:46.280 --> 00:44:51.980
There's<00:44:46.440><c> no</c><00:44:46.659><c> feeling</c><00:44:46.960><c> in</c><00:44:47.159><c> the</c><00:44:47.340><c> face</c><00:44:47.739><c> and</c><00:44:48.260><c> he</c><00:44:49.019><c> literally</c><00:44:49.960><c> destroyed</c><00:44:50.699><c> his</c><00:44:51.019><c> eyes.</c>

00:44:52.179 --> 00:44:53.579
And<00:44:52.480><c> other</c><00:44:52.659><c> things</c><00:44:52.860><c> happen</c><00:44:53.199><c> to</c><00:44:53.420><c> lepers.</c>

00:44:53.619 --> 00:44:57.659
They<00:44:53.739><c> have</c><00:44:53.900><c> no</c><00:44:54.460><c> feeling</c><00:44:54.780><c> in</c><00:44:54.960><c> their</c><00:44:55.159><c> hands</c><00:44:55.739><c> and</c><00:44:56.099><c> they</c><00:44:56.340><c> can</c><00:44:57.420><c> mop</c>

00:44:57.659 --> 00:45:00.599
a<00:44:57.940><c> floor</c><00:44:58.320><c> and</c><00:44:58.960><c> hold</c><00:44:59.420><c> the</c><00:44:59.639><c> mop</c><00:44:59.820><c> too</c><00:45:00.139><c> tight,</c>

00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:04.000

00:45:04.300 --> 00:45:08.019
And<00:45:04.519><c> that's</c><00:45:04.860><c> why</c><00:45:05.159><c> so</c><00:45:05.420><c> many</c><00:45:05.619><c> of</c><00:45:05.679><c> them</c><00:45:05.880><c> lost</c><00:45:06.219><c> their,</c><00:45:07.400><c> starting</c>

00:45:10.079 --> 00:45:11.139
toes<00:45:10.280><c> would</c><00:45:10.500><c> fall</c><00:45:10.800><c> off.</c>

00:45:11.400 --> 00:45:14.539
No<00:45:11.679><c> feeling.</c><00:45:12.119><c> They</c><00:45:12.260><c> had</c><00:45:12.519><c> no</c><00:45:13.159><c> knowledge</c><00:45:13.820><c> that</c><00:45:14.079><c> their</c><00:45:14.360><c> flesh</c>

was<00:45:14.820><c> rotting.</c>

00:45:15.619 --> 00:45:18.820
And<00:45:15.760><c> we</c><00:45:15.880><c> can</c><00:45:16.059><c> see</c><00:45:16.179><c> how</c><00:45:16.500><c> appropriate</c><00:45:16.860><c> this</c><00:45:17.079><c> is</c><00:45:17.340><c> of</c><00:45:17.619><c> sin</c><00:45:17.940><c> and</c><00:45:18.639><c> of</c>

00:45:18.820 --> 00:45:19.699
those<00:45:19.000><c> who</c><00:45:19.239><c> practice</c><00:45:19.559><c> it.</c>

00:45:19.760 --> 00:45:26.679
In<00:45:19.860><c> total</c><00:45:20.139><c> ignorance,</c><00:45:21.699><c> their</c><00:45:21.880><c> life</c><00:45:22.159><c> is</c><00:45:22.340><c> being</c><00:45:22.599><c> destroyed</c><00:45:23.079><c> slowly</c><00:45:23.599><c> before</c><00:45:24.019><c> them</c><00:45:24.559><c> because</c><00:45:24.940><c> they</c><00:45:25.159><c> don't</c><00:45:25.400><c> know</c><00:45:25.559><c> what's</c><00:45:25.900><c> happening</c><00:45:26.239><c> and</c>

00:45:27.880 --> 00:45:33.159
So<00:45:28.340><c> leprosy</c><00:45:28.719><c> is</c><00:45:28.900><c> an</c><00:45:29.079><c> interesting</c><00:45:29.500><c> disease</c><00:45:30.139><c> and</c><00:45:31.780><c> it's</c><00:45:32.340><c> a</c><00:45:32.639><c> fitting</c><00:45:32.860><c> and</c>

00:45:33.159 --> 00:45:35.340

00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:43.960
which<00:45:41.280><c> greater</c><00:45:41.800><c> insensitivity</c><00:45:42.719><c> to</c><00:45:42.900><c> its</c><00:45:43.139><c> presence</c><00:45:43.539><c> leading</c>

00:45:43.960 --> 00:45:45.579

00:45:45.900 --> 00:45:46.760
But<00:45:45.920><c> so</c><00:45:46.139><c> much</c><00:45:46.300><c> for</c><00:45:46.500><c> that.</c>

00:45:47.179 --> 00:45:49.539

00:45:50.800 --> 00:45:54.199
In<00:45:51.059><c> an</c><00:45:51.079><c> advanced</c><00:45:51.380><c> case,</c><00:45:52.400><c> doubtless,</c><00:45:53.019><c> not</c><00:45:53.480><c> a</c><00:45:53.699><c> pleasant</c><00:45:53.980><c> sight</c>

00:45:56.340 --> 00:45:57.539

00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:07.420
Now<00:46:05.119><c> that's</c><00:46:05.340><c> a</c><00:46:05.519><c> bombshell</c><00:46:05.980><c> right</c><00:46:06.300><c> there</c><00:46:06.539><c> if</c><00:46:06.699><c> you're</c><00:46:06.940><c> familiar</c>

00:52:48.500 --> 00:52:49.780
They<00:52:48.800><c> laughed</c><00:52:49.159><c> in</c><00:52:49.380><c> the</c><00:52:49.579><c> scorn.</c>

00:52:49.840 --> 00:52:52.000

But<00:52:55.539><c> Jesus</c><00:52:55.820><c> said,</c><00:52:56.599><c> She's</c><00:52:56.760><c> not</c><00:52:57.000><c> dead.</c>

00:52:57.800 --> 00:52:58.920
She<00:52:57.980><c> only</c><00:52:58.260><c> sleepeth.</c>

00:52:58.980 --> 00:52:59.460
Why?

00:52:59.699 --> 00:53:04.960
Because<00:53:00.119><c> the</c><00:53:00.340><c> faith</c><00:53:00.619><c> of</c><00:53:00.820><c> her</c><00:53:00.980><c> father,</c><00:53:01.500><c> Jairus,</c><00:53:02.199><c> who</c><00:53:02.360><c> said,</c><00:53:02.639><c> Come,</c><00:53:03.239><c> lay</c><00:53:03.360><c> your</c><00:53:03.559><c> hand</c><00:53:03.780><c> on</c><00:53:04.000><c> her,</c>

00:53:05.480 --> 00:53:06.960

00:53:07.460 --> 00:53:10.840
This<00:53:07.679><c> was</c><00:53:07.900><c> not</c><00:53:08.039><c> a</c><00:53:08.119><c> case</c><00:53:08.340><c> of</c><00:53:08.559><c> death,</c><00:53:09.559><c> but</c><00:53:09.699><c> a</c><00:53:09.860><c> case.</c>

00:53:10.900 --> 00:53:12.440
Oh,<00:53:11.139><c> yes,</c><00:53:11.260><c> she</c><00:53:11.440><c> was</c><00:53:11.780><c> dead</c><00:53:12.000><c> physically.</c>

00:53:12.539 --> 00:53:14.039
There's<00:53:12.599><c> no</c><00:53:12.820><c> question</c><00:53:13.139><c> about</c><00:53:13.440><c> that.</c>

00:53:14.260 --> 00:53:19.019
But<00:53:14.599><c> this</c><00:53:15.099><c> would</c><00:53:15.280><c> be</c><00:53:15.480><c> one</c><00:53:16.099><c> whom</c><00:53:16.820><c> would</c><00:53:17.639><c> come</c><00:53:18.119><c> to</c><00:53:18.320><c> life</c><00:53:18.519><c> again</c>

But<00:53:22.599><c> look</c><00:53:22.860><c> carefully</c><00:53:23.260><c> at</c><00:53:23.440><c> verse</c><00:53:23.639><c> 25.</c>

00:53:25.980 --> 00:53:28.960
