There's<00:00:39.159><c> ample</c><00:00:39.479><c> language</c><00:00:40.140><c> and</c><00:00:41.240><c> sufficient</c><00:00:41.659><c> connections</c><00:00:42.280><c> across</c><00:00:42.780><c> the</c>

We<00:00:51.840><c> will</c><00:00:52.140><c> see</c><00:00:52.700><c> that</c><00:00:53.240><c> it</c><00:00:53.399><c> can</c><00:00:53.479><c> be</c><00:00:53.719><c> applied</c><00:00:54.200><c> obviously</c><00:00:54.780><c> in</c><00:00:55.079><c> an</c>

00:01:20.780 --> 00:01:26.159
we<00:01:22.040><c> can't</c><00:01:22.739><c> help</c><00:01:23.079><c> but</c><00:01:23.400><c> make</c><00:01:23.739><c> a</c><00:01:24.079><c> bridge</c><00:01:24.400><c> between</c><00:01:25.319><c> the</c><00:01:25.739><c> stormy</c>

00:01:30.060 --> 00:01:33.280
We<00:01:30.079><c> also</c><00:01:30.459><c> looked</c><00:01:30.680><c> yesterday</c><00:01:31.159><c> at</c><00:01:31.459><c> a</c><00:01:31.680><c> key</c><00:01:31.920><c> psalm.</c>

00:01:33.939 --> 00:01:39.299
Psalm<00:01:34.120><c> 65</c><00:01:34.980><c> brings</c><00:01:35.560><c> together</c><00:01:36.159><c> in</c><00:01:36.500><c> juxtaposition</c><00:01:37.659><c> the</c><00:01:38.879><c> tumult</c>

00:01:43.099 --> 00:01:48.840
Brought<00:01:44.060><c> both</c><00:01:44.400><c> together</c><00:01:45.060><c> in</c><00:01:45.739><c> a</c><00:01:46.040><c> psalm</c><00:01:47.019><c> that</c><00:01:47.260><c> begins</c><00:01:47.939><c> with</c><00:01:48.519><c> an</c>

00:01:54.540 --> 00:01:58.180
Why<00:01:54.540><c> would</c><00:01:54.780><c> Psalm</c><00:01:55.060><c> 65</c><00:01:55.859><c> bring</c><00:01:56.159><c> together</c><00:01:56.540><c> those</c><00:01:56.859><c> two</c><00:01:57.079><c> aspects?</c>

00:01:58.780 --> 00:02:02.120
The<00:01:59.120><c> tumult</c><00:01:59.500><c> of</c><00:01:59.700><c> the</c><00:01:59.900><c> people</c><00:02:00.239><c> and</c><00:02:00.560><c> the</c><00:02:00.780><c> raging</c><00:02:01.099><c> sea.</c>

00:02:02.260 --> 00:02:04.700
Well<00:02:02.420><c> then</c><00:02:02.519><c> we</c><00:02:02.700><c> went</c><00:02:02.799><c> to</c><00:02:03.079><c> Jeremiah</c><00:02:03.480><c> 50</c><00:02:03.939><c> and</c><00:02:04.159><c> 51.</c>

00:02:04.700 --> 00:02:10.620
We<00:02:05.079><c> saw</c><00:02:05.420><c> another</c><00:02:05.939><c> for</c><00:02:06.219><c> instance</c><00:02:07.060><c> where</c><00:02:08.479><c> in</c><00:02:08.740><c> Jeremiah</c><00:02:09.139><c> 50</c><00:02:09.879><c> the</c>

00:02:14.900 --> 00:02:16.419

00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:21.699
And<00:02:17.139><c> then</c><00:02:17.520><c> the</c><00:02:17.919><c> same</c><00:02:18.139><c> powers</c><00:02:18.639><c> in</c><00:02:18.979><c> Jeremiah</c><00:02:19.379><c> 51</c><00:02:20.000><c> are</c><00:02:20.979><c> described</c>

00:02:21.699 --> 00:02:23.800

00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:27.960
So<00:02:24.719><c> the</c><00:02:25.020><c> madness</c><00:02:25.319><c> of</c><00:02:25.599><c> the</c><00:02:25.900><c> nations</c><00:02:26.280><c> and</c><00:02:26.939><c> the</c><00:02:27.240><c> roaring</c><00:02:27.500><c> of</c><00:02:27.719><c> the</c>

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:42.300
Why<00:02:34.759><c> would</c><00:02:35.159><c> it</c><00:02:35.379><c> be</c><00:02:35.939><c> in</c><00:02:36.919><c> the</c><00:02:37.099><c> ministry</c><00:02:37.460><c> of</c><00:02:37.680><c> the</c><00:02:37.879><c> Lord</c><00:02:38.300><c> that</c><00:02:39.780><c> those</c><00:02:40.300><c> possessed</c><00:02:40.900><c> with</c><00:02:41.240><c> demons,</c>

00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.979

00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:42.920

we've<00:21:04.599><c> boxed</c><00:21:04.960><c> it</c><00:21:05.119><c> because</c><00:21:05.420><c> these</c><00:21:05.740><c> are</c><00:21:05.920><c> the</c><00:21:06.140><c> details</c>

00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:10.059
that<00:21:07.339><c> deal</c><00:21:07.619><c> specifically</c><00:21:08.299><c> with</c><00:21:08.619><c> the</c><00:21:08.880><c> storm</c><00:21:09.099><c> account.</c>

00:21:11.700 --> 00:21:13.859
Now,<00:21:12.140><c> as</c><00:21:12.259><c> we</c><00:21:12.400><c> go</c><00:21:12.579><c> through</c><00:21:12.740><c> this</c><00:21:13.019><c> boxed</c><00:21:13.619><c> section,</c>

00:21:14.059 --> 00:21:14.880
brothers<00:21:14.180><c> and</c><00:21:14.420><c> sisters,</c>

00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:17.380
I<00:21:15.579><c> want</c><00:21:15.759><c> you</c><00:21:15.920><c> to</c><00:21:16.160><c> note</c><00:21:16.339><c> this</c><00:21:16.640><c> detail</c>

00:21:17.380 --> 00:21:19.200
because<00:21:17.920><c> we</c><00:21:18.119><c> haven't</c><00:21:18.279><c> got</c><00:21:18.440><c> it</c><00:21:18.559><c> in</c><00:21:18.660><c> the</c><00:21:18.839><c> box.</c>

00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:22.000
So<00:21:19.519><c> I'm</c><00:21:19.700><c> going</c><00:21:19.799><c> to</c><00:21:19.920><c> take</c><00:21:20.119><c> off</c><00:21:20.279><c> this</c><00:21:20.539><c> overhead</c><00:21:20.799><c> for</c><00:21:21.119><c> a</c><00:21:21.180><c> second.</c>

00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:24.220
You<00:21:23.039><c> don't</c><00:21:23.220><c> need</c><00:21:23.339><c> to</c><00:21:23.579><c> turn</c><00:21:23.759><c> here,</c>

00:21:24.220 --> 00:21:26.160
but<00:21:24.480><c> maybe</c><00:21:24.720><c> you</c><00:21:24.880><c> want</c><00:21:24.980><c> to</c><00:21:25.140><c> note,</c>

00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:33.299
at<00:21:31.200><c> the</c><00:21:31.380><c> end</c><00:21:31.619><c> of</c><00:21:31.839><c> the</c><00:21:32.000><c> second</c><00:21:32.279><c> storm,</c>

00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:36.619
there's<00:21:33.619><c> a</c><00:21:33.839><c> detail</c><00:21:34.279><c> worth</c><00:21:34.599><c> remembering</c><00:21:35.180><c> at</c><00:21:35.559><c> the</c><00:21:35.759><c> beginning.</c>

00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.140
For<00:21:37.819><c> in</c><00:21:38.460><c> the</c><00:21:38.700><c> end</c><00:21:38.980><c> of</c><00:21:39.180><c> the</c><00:21:39.380><c> second</c><00:21:39.700><c> storm</c><00:21:40.180><c> experience,</c>

00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:43.220
Mark<00:21:41.859><c> 6</c><00:21:42.279><c> says,</c>

00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:47.960
For<00:21:43.859><c> they</c><00:21:44.259><c> considered</c><00:21:44.940><c> not</c><00:21:45.700><c> the</c><00:21:46.240><c> miracle</c><00:21:46.799><c> of</c><00:21:47.160><c> the</c><00:21:47.420><c> loaves</c>

00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:51.160
for<00:21:48.740><c> their</c><00:21:49.140><c> heart</c><00:21:49.579><c> was</c><00:21:50.160><c> hardened.</c>

00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:52.839
And<00:21:51.839><c> when</c><00:21:52.000><c> they</c><00:21:52.099><c> had</c><00:21:52.339><c> passed</c><00:21:52.619><c> over,</c>

00:21:52.980 --> 00:21:54.559
they<00:21:52.980><c> came</c><00:21:53.259><c> into</c><00:21:53.460><c> the</c><00:21:53.579><c> land</c><00:21:53.799><c> of</c><00:21:53.980><c> Geneseret</c>

00:21:54.559 --> 00:21:56.859
and<00:21:55.359><c> drew</c><00:21:55.579><c> to</c><00:21:55.779><c> the</c><00:21:55.980><c> shore.</c>

00:21:57.099 --> 00:21:58.640
And<00:21:57.440><c> when</c><00:21:57.599><c> they</c><00:21:57.740><c> would</c><00:21:57.859><c> come</c><00:21:58.039><c> out</c><00:21:58.200><c> of</c><00:21:58.319><c> the</c><00:21:58.480><c> ship,</c>

00:21:58.819 --> 00:21:59.819
straightway<00:21:59.160><c> they</c><00:21:59.299><c> knew</c><00:21:59.480><c> him.</c>

00:22:00.200 --> 00:22:03.019
So<00:22:00.440><c> there</c><00:22:00.599><c> we</c><00:22:00.799><c> are.</c><00:22:01.480><c> That's</c><00:22:01.819><c> a</c><00:22:01.960><c> key</c><00:22:02.079><c> point.</c>

00:22:03.539 --> 00:22:08.480
Why<00:22:04.019><c> were</c><00:22:04.500><c> the</c><00:22:04.839><c> disciples</c><00:22:05.400><c> difficult</c><00:22:06.359><c> in</c><00:22:07.559><c> dealing</c><00:22:07.880><c> with</c><00:22:08.160><c> these,</c>

00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:09.960
or<00:22:08.759><c> why</c><00:22:08.960><c> did</c><00:22:09.059><c> they</c><00:22:09.240><c> have</c><00:22:09.440><c> difficulty</c>

00:22:09.960 --> 00:22:12.619
in<00:22:10.539><c> dealing</c><00:22:10.799><c> with</c><00:22:11.000><c> these</c><00:22:11.220><c> principles</c><00:22:11.619><c> in</c><00:22:11.799><c> the</c><00:22:11.940><c> boat?</c>

00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:16.980
Why<00:22:13.839><c> did</c><00:22:14.019><c> they</c><00:22:14.299><c> despair</c><00:22:14.940><c> unnecessarily</c><00:22:15.880><c> in</c><00:22:16.019><c> the</c><00:22:16.180><c> boat?</c>

00:22:17.640 --> 00:22:19.720
Mark<00:22:18.359><c> tells</c><00:22:18.740><c> us</c><00:22:19.019><c> why.</c>

00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:22.940
Think<00:22:20.400><c> of</c><00:22:20.579><c> this</c><00:22:20.859><c> as</c><00:22:21.059><c> we</c><00:22:21.200><c> go</c><00:22:21.440><c> through</c><00:22:21.680><c> this</c><00:22:22.140><c> second</c><00:22:22.500><c> storm.</c>

00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:25.160
Their<00:22:23.519><c> main</c><00:22:23.859><c> problem</c><00:22:24.299><c> was,</c>

00:22:25.339 --> 00:22:26.359
according<00:22:25.640><c> to</c><00:22:26.000><c> Mark,</c>

00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:29.559
they<00:22:26.920><c> considered</c><00:22:27.440><c> not</c><00:22:27.799><c> the</c><00:22:28.000><c> miracle</c><00:22:28.420><c> of</c><00:22:28.660><c> the</c><00:22:28.819><c> loaves</c>

00:22:29.559 --> 00:22:32.440
because<00:22:30.059><c> their</c><00:22:30.480><c> heart</c><00:22:30.920><c> was</c><00:22:31.460><c> hardened.</c>

00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:36.000
So<00:22:34.000><c> this</c><00:22:34.420><c> miracle</c><00:22:34.960><c> of</c><00:22:35.160><c> the</c><00:22:35.380><c> second</c><00:22:35.680><c> storm,</c>

00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:37.519
brothers<00:22:36.299><c> and</c><00:22:36.579><c> sisters,</c>

00:22:37.680 --> 00:22:39.359
is<00:22:37.819><c> being</c><00:22:38.160><c> given</c><00:22:38.420><c> to</c><00:22:38.660><c> the</c><00:22:38.920><c> disciples</c>

00:22:39.359 --> 00:22:41.680
for<00:22:39.680><c> a</c><00:22:39.900><c> very</c><00:22:40.200><c> specific</c><00:22:40.680><c> reason.</c>

00:22:42.039 --> 00:22:45.119
Their<00:22:42.440><c> hearts</c><00:22:43.019><c> are</c><00:22:44.079><c> still</c><00:22:44.480><c> hardened.</c>

00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:48.319
They've<00:22:46.000><c> already</c><00:22:46.279><c> gone</c><00:22:46.619><c> through</c><00:22:46.960><c> one</c><00:22:47.339><c> storm</c>

00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:49.859
and<00:22:48.940><c> said</c><00:22:49.200><c> at</c><00:22:49.380><c> the</c><00:22:49.519><c> end</c><00:22:49.660><c> of</c><00:22:49.720><c> it,</c>

00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:52.019
what<00:22:50.140><c> manner</c><00:22:50.460><c> of</c><00:22:50.700><c> man</c><00:22:50.859><c> is</c><00:22:51.079><c> this?</c>

00:22:52.140 --> 00:22:53.960
But<00:22:52.400><c> why</c><00:22:52.660><c> a</c><00:22:52.900><c> second</c><00:22:53.160><c> storm?</c>

00:22:54.099 --> 00:22:56.000
Here's<00:22:54.480><c> part</c><00:22:54.700><c> of</c><00:22:54.839><c> the</c><00:22:54.980><c> answer.</c>

00:22:56.099 --> 00:22:58.160
Because<00:22:56.640><c> after</c><00:22:57.160><c> the</c><00:22:57.400><c> first</c><00:22:57.680><c> storm</c>

00:22:58.160 --> 00:23:01.700
and<00:22:58.779><c> after</c><00:22:59.200><c> the</c><00:22:59.400><c> feeding</c><00:22:59.559><c> of</c><00:22:59.740><c> the</c><00:22:59.980><c> 5</c><00:23:00.319><c>,000,</c>

00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:05.200
their<00:23:02.259><c> hearts</c><00:23:02.759><c> are</c><00:23:03.980><c> still</c><00:23:04.240><c> hard.</c>

00:23:05.940 --> 00:23:06.819
Doesn't<00:23:06.140><c> that</c><00:23:06.339><c> say</c><00:23:06.539><c> something,</c>

00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:08.839
brothers<00:23:07.079><c> and</c><00:23:07.319><c> sisters,</c><00:23:07.599><c> to</c><00:23:07.819><c> all</c><00:23:08.000><c> of</c><00:23:08.099><c> us?</c>

00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:11.380
It<00:23:09.200><c> seems</c><00:23:09.579><c> unbelievable,</c><00:23:10.539><c> does</c><00:23:10.740><c> it</c><00:23:11.019><c> not?</c>

00:23:11.380 --> 00:23:14.779
But<00:23:12.319><c> think</c><00:23:12.619><c> of</c><00:23:12.779><c> Israel</c><00:23:13.200><c> coming</c><00:23:13.500><c> out</c><00:23:13.700><c> of</c><00:23:13.819><c> Egypt.</c>

00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:18.200
They<00:23:15.299><c> had</c><00:23:15.619><c> seen</c><00:23:16.000><c> the</c><00:23:16.279><c> crossing</c><00:23:16.640><c> of</c><00:23:16.819><c> the</c><00:23:16.900><c> Red</c><00:23:17.240><c> Sea.</c>

00:23:18.500 --> 00:23:22.059
They<00:23:18.759><c> had</c><00:23:19.099><c> been</c><00:23:19.480><c> fed</c><00:23:20.200><c> bread</c><00:23:20.660><c> in</c><00:23:20.839><c> the</c><00:23:21.019><c> wilderness,</c>

00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.880
like<00:23:23.259><c> those</c><00:23:23.799><c> who</c><00:23:24.079><c> have</c><00:23:24.200><c> just</c><00:23:24.440><c> been</c><00:23:24.700><c> fed</c><00:23:24.880><c> among</c><00:23:25.119><c> the</c><00:23:25.420><c> 5</c><00:23:25.680><c>,000.</c>

00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:28.819
They<00:23:27.440><c> had</c><00:23:27.740><c> seen</c><00:23:27.920><c> the</c><00:23:28.160><c> bread</c><00:23:28.259><c> of</c><00:23:28.460><c> life</c>

00:23:28.819 --> 00:23:30.640
being<00:23:29.099><c> given</c><00:23:29.339><c> to</c><00:23:29.539><c> them</c><00:23:29.700><c> in</c><00:23:29.980><c> the</c><00:23:30.160><c> wilderness,</c>

00:23:31.079 --> 00:23:34.380
but<00:23:31.380><c> still</c><00:23:31.799><c> they</c><00:23:32.099><c> murmured</c><00:23:32.380><c> against</c><00:23:32.700><c> Moses</c><00:23:33.160><c> and</c><00:23:33.500><c> Aaron.</c>

00:23:35.039 --> 00:23:38.359
Still<00:23:35.640><c> they</c><00:23:36.019><c> murmured</c><00:23:36.440><c> and</c><00:23:36.599><c> their</c><00:23:36.880><c> heart</c><00:23:37.119><c> was</c><00:23:37.440><c> hardened.</c>

00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:39.859
Now,<00:23:39.279><c> brothers</c><00:23:39.359><c> and</c><00:23:39.640><c> sisters,</c>

00:23:39.859 --> 00:23:41.559
if<00:23:39.980><c> that</c><00:23:40.180><c> happened</c><00:23:40.559><c> to</c><00:23:40.740><c> a</c><00:23:40.819><c> whole</c><00:23:41.059><c> nation</c>

00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:44.980
and<00:23:42.299><c> if</c><00:23:42.420><c> it</c><00:23:42.619><c> happened</c><00:23:42.859><c> to</c><00:23:43.039><c> the</c><00:23:43.180><c> Lord's</c><00:23:43.559><c> 12</c><00:23:43.880><c> men,</c>

00:23:45.140 --> 00:23:47.000
is<00:23:45.240><c> that</c><00:23:45.359><c> any</c><00:23:45.539><c> different</c><00:23:45.819><c> with</c><00:23:46.039><c> you?</c>

00:23:47.940 --> 00:23:49.539
Do<00:23:48.140><c> you</c><00:23:48.319><c> need</c><00:23:48.460><c> more</c><00:23:48.720><c> than</c><00:23:48.859><c> one</c><00:23:49.160><c> storm?</c>

00:23:49.700 --> 00:23:52.440
Do<00:23:49.859><c> I</c><00:23:50.140><c> need</c><00:23:50.579><c> more</c><00:23:51.000><c> than</c><00:23:51.180><c> one</c><00:23:51.559><c> storm?</c>

00:23:53.140 --> 00:23:54.839
Is<00:23:53.359><c> it</c><00:23:53.539><c> that,</c><00:23:54.180><c> brothers</c><00:23:54.319><c> and</c><00:23:54.579><c> sisters,</c>

00:23:54.900 --> 00:23:57.940
the<00:23:55.140><c> Lord</c><00:23:55.440><c> can</c><00:23:55.740><c> make</c><00:23:55.920><c> us</c><00:23:56.319><c> into</c><00:23:56.559><c> the</c><00:23:56.700><c> men</c><00:23:56.819><c> and</c><00:23:56.940><c> women</c><00:23:57.119><c> we</c><00:23:57.299><c> should</c><00:23:57.480><c> be</c>

00:23:57.940 --> 00:24:00.240
just<00:23:58.519><c> through</c><00:23:58.799><c> one</c><00:23:59.180><c> trial?</c>

00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:05.779
When<00:24:01.299><c> you</c><00:24:01.759><c> ask</c><00:24:02.380><c> why</c><00:24:03.039><c> now,</c><00:24:04.259><c> why</c><00:24:04.559><c> me,</c>

00:24:06.180 --> 00:24:08.460
you're<00:24:06.619><c> asking</c><00:24:07.059><c> the</c><00:24:07.319><c> impossible.</c>

00:24:08.859 --> 00:24:10.700
I'm<00:24:09.559><c> asking</c><00:24:09.880><c> the</c><00:24:10.119><c> impossible</c>

00:24:10.700 --> 00:24:13.920
because<00:24:11.519><c> the</c><00:24:11.799><c> Lord's</c><00:24:12.180><c> not</c><00:24:12.420><c> finished</c><00:24:12.779><c> with</c><00:24:13.059><c> you.</c>

00:24:14.380 --> 00:24:16.980
The<00:24:14.519><c> Lord</c><00:24:14.759><c> wasn't</c><00:24:15.119><c> finished</c><00:24:15.500><c> with</c><00:24:15.680><c> His</c><00:24:15.880><c> 12</c><00:24:16.240><c> men,</c>

00:24:17.059 --> 00:24:21.259
and<00:24:17.559><c> yet</c><00:24:17.759><c> they</c><00:24:18.400><c> had</c><00:24:18.619><c> been</c><00:24:18.839><c> already</c><00:24:19.240><c> through</c><00:24:19.500><c> one</c><00:24:19.799><c> major</c><00:24:20.220><c> storm.</c>

00:24:21.420 --> 00:24:25.420
They<00:24:21.859><c> had</c><00:24:22.200><c> seen</c><00:24:22.539><c> the</c><00:24:22.799><c> bread</c><00:24:22.900><c> of</c><00:24:23.119><c> life</c><00:24:23.660><c> in</c><00:24:24.259><c> the</c><00:24:24.440><c> wilderness.</c>

00:24:25.500 --> 00:24:27.839
Still<00:24:26.099><c> they</c><00:24:26.519><c> weren't</c><00:24:26.759><c> finished.</c>

00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:31.500
Still<00:24:28.500><c> their</c><00:24:28.779><c> hearts</c><00:24:29.119><c> were</c><00:24:29.460><c> hardened,</c><00:24:30.299><c> were</c><00:24:30.380><c> no</c><00:24:30.599><c> different.</c>

00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:33.799
That<00:24:32.099><c> must</c><00:24:32.299><c> be</c><00:24:32.500><c> kept</c><00:24:32.619><c> in</c><00:24:32.900><c> mind.</c>

00:24:34.420 --> 00:24:35.920
So<00:24:34.720><c> the</c><00:24:34.980><c> sequence</c><00:24:35.339><c> follows,</c>

00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:38.160
and<00:24:36.920><c> I've</c><00:24:37.180><c> given</c><00:24:37.259><c> you</c><00:24:37.440><c> the</c><00:24:37.720><c> passages</c>

00:24:38.160 --> 00:24:40.180
that<00:24:39.019><c> at</c><00:24:39.200><c> the</c><00:24:39.359><c> end</c><00:24:39.519><c> of</c><00:24:39.700><c> the</c><00:24:39.859><c> day</c>

00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:43.400
Jesus<00:24:41.180><c> leaves</c><00:24:41.519><c> them</c><00:24:41.839><c> and</c><00:24:42.200><c> ascends</c><00:24:42.579><c> the</c><00:24:42.920><c> heights.</c>

00:24:43.839 --> 00:24:45.180
Now,<00:24:44.019><c> you</c><00:24:44.180><c> know</c><00:24:44.400><c> that</c><00:24:44.519><c> He</c><00:24:44.640><c> goes</c><00:24:44.900><c> up,</c>

00:24:45.660 --> 00:24:47.420
as<00:24:46.079><c> Michael</c><00:24:46.400><c> showed</c><00:24:46.660><c> us</c><00:24:46.819><c> this</c><00:24:47.019><c> morning,</c>

00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:49.960
into<00:24:48.039><c> the</c><00:24:48.319><c> heights</c><00:24:48.700><c> overlooking</c><00:24:49.299><c> the</c><00:24:49.660><c> scene.</c>

00:24:50.440 --> 00:24:51.380
Now,<00:24:50.660><c> picture</c><00:24:50.920><c> this.</c>

00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:52.960
Here's<00:24:51.940><c> Galilee.</c>

00:24:53.299 --> 00:24:56.960
They've<00:24:53.759><c> crossed</c><00:24:54.259><c> along</c><00:24:55.140><c> the</c><00:24:55.480><c> top</c><00:24:55.799><c> shore</c><00:24:56.200><c> of</c><00:24:56.460><c> Galilee</c>

00:24:56.960 --> 00:24:59.339
from<00:24:57.539><c> one</c><00:24:58.000><c> side,</c><00:24:58.380><c> that</c><00:24:58.539><c> would</c><00:24:58.660><c> be</c><00:24:58.799><c> the</c><00:24:59.019><c> west,</c>

00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:01.940
over<00:24:59.940><c> to</c><00:25:00.119><c> the</c><00:25:00.299><c> east</c><00:25:00.579><c> near</c><00:25:00.839><c> Bethsaida.</c>

00:25:02.140 --> 00:25:03.460
They've<00:25:02.519><c> crossed.</c>

00:25:03.740 --> 00:25:06.359
The<00:25:04.299><c> 5</c><00:25:04.759><c>,000</c><00:25:05.059><c> have</c><00:25:05.240><c> been</c><00:25:05.500><c> fed.</c>

00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:09.539
The<00:25:06.819><c> day</c><00:25:07.059><c> advances</c><00:25:07.599><c> towards</c><00:25:08.140><c> late</c><00:25:08.440><c> noon.</c>

00:25:11.180 --> 00:25:13.539
Jesus<00:25:11.319><c> takes</c><00:25:11.619><c> His</c><00:25:11.880><c> disciples</c><00:25:12.339><c> and</c><00:25:12.680><c> constrains</c><00:25:13.259><c> them</c>

00:25:13.539 --> 00:25:14.480
and<00:25:13.660><c> puts</c><00:25:13.839><c> them</c><00:25:14.019><c> in</c><00:25:14.119><c> the</c><00:25:14.279><c> boat</c>

00:25:14.480 --> 00:25:16.059
because<00:25:14.759><c> they</c><00:25:14.900><c> want</c><00:25:15.039><c> to</c><00:25:15.160><c> make</c><00:25:15.279><c> Him</c><00:25:15.480><c> king.</c>

00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:17.519
And<00:25:16.400><c> He</c><00:25:16.480><c> pushes</c><00:25:16.759><c> them</c><00:25:16.960><c> out.</c>

00:25:17.920 --> 00:25:19.759
Off<00:25:18.119><c> they</c><00:25:18.359><c> go,</c><00:25:18.839><c> alone,</c>

00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:23.059
expecting<00:25:20.259><c> no</c><00:25:20.579><c> doubt</c><00:25:20.759><c> that</c><00:25:20.980><c> Jesus</c><00:25:21.319><c> would</c><00:25:21.599><c> soon</c><00:25:21.779><c> come</c><00:25:22.059><c> back.</c>

00:25:23.460 --> 00:25:28.059
Jesus,<00:25:24.220><c> however,</c><00:25:25.720><c> alone</c><00:25:26.059><c> goes</c><00:25:26.440><c> up</c><00:25:26.660><c> into</c><00:25:26.839><c> the</c><00:25:27.059><c> hills</c>

00:25:28.339 --> 00:25:30.380
surrounding<00:25:28.900><c> the</c><00:25:29.200><c> Sea</c><00:25:29.359><c> of</c><00:25:29.559><c> Galilee</c>

00:25:30.380 --> 00:25:33.819
on<00:25:30.900><c> the</c><00:25:31.200><c> east</c><00:25:31.799><c> shore,</c><00:25:32.539><c> most</c><00:25:32.819><c> likely.</c>

00:25:34.180 --> 00:25:36.240
Now,<00:25:34.400><c> Matthew's</c><00:25:34.920><c> account</c><00:25:35.200><c> here</c><00:25:35.539><c> is</c><00:25:35.839><c> helpful.</c>

00:25:36.740 --> 00:25:38.779
Let's<00:25:36.980><c> get</c><00:25:37.160><c> the</c><00:25:37.480><c> timing</c><00:25:37.759><c> straight.</c>

00:25:40.119 --> 00:25:41.839
I'm<00:25:40.319><c> going</c><00:25:40.400><c> to</c><00:25:40.480><c> put</c><00:25:40.579><c> these</c><00:25:40.779><c> on</c><00:25:41.000><c> the</c><00:25:41.519><c> overhead.</c>

00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:43.819
You<00:25:42.039><c> might</c><00:25:42.240><c> want</c><00:25:42.420><c> to</c><00:25:42.519><c> look</c><00:25:42.640><c> them</c><00:25:42.799><c> up.</c>

00:25:44.460 --> 00:25:47.180
Matthew<00:25:44.599><c> 14,</c><00:25:45.380><c> I've</c><00:25:45.880><c> underlined</c><00:25:46.259><c> the</c><00:25:46.559><c> key</c><00:25:46.779><c> words</c>

00:25:47.180 --> 00:25:49.000
that<00:25:47.460><c> relate</c><00:25:47.740><c> to</c><00:25:48.099><c> time.</c>

00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:51.720
So<00:25:49.359><c> just</c><00:25:49.599><c> watch</c><00:25:49.960><c> the</c><00:25:50.319><c> underlining</c><00:25:50.759><c> blue.</c>

00:25:52.420 --> 00:25:55.599
In<00:25:52.500><c> Matthew</c><00:25:52.859><c> 14,</c><00:25:53.539><c> we</c><00:25:53.720><c> read</c><00:25:54.460><c> verse</c><00:25:54.940><c> 23,</c>

00:25:55.859 --> 00:25:57.799
where<00:25:56.039><c> I</c><00:25:56.200><c> have</c><00:25:56.319><c> my</c><00:25:56.619><c> check</c><00:25:56.859><c> mark.</c>

00:25:58.160 --> 00:26:00.200
And<00:25:58.359><c> when</c><00:25:58.519><c> He</c><00:25:58.680><c> had</c><00:25:58.880><c> sent</c><00:25:59.059><c> the</c><00:25:59.240><c> multitudes</c><00:25:59.720><c> away,</c>

00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:03.759
He<00:26:00.500><c> went</c><00:26:00.740><c> up</c><00:26:01.059><c> into</c><00:26:01.339><c> a</c><00:26:01.519><c> mountain</c><00:26:01.759><c> apart</c><00:26:02.279><c> to</c><00:26:03.400><c> pray.</c>

00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:05.180
So<00:26:04.079><c> He's</c><00:26:04.279><c> alone.</c>

00:26:05.799 --> 00:26:07.259
And<00:26:05.920><c> when</c><00:26:06.059><c> the</c><00:26:06.359><c> evening</c><00:26:06.640><c> was</c><00:26:06.980><c> come,</c>

00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:09.299
He<00:26:07.500><c> was</c><00:26:07.700><c> there</c><00:26:08.220><c> alone.</c>

00:26:09.460 --> 00:26:12.440
And<00:26:09.980><c> when</c><00:26:10.140><c> He</c><00:26:10.339><c> finally</c><00:26:10.539><c> comes</c><00:26:10.839><c> across</c><00:26:11.299><c> the</c><00:26:11.619><c> sea,</c>

00:26:12.539 --> 00:26:14.279
there's<00:26:12.700><c> an</c><00:26:12.920><c> advance</c><00:26:13.160><c> in</c><00:26:13.539><c> time.</c>

00:26:14.740 --> 00:26:18.299
Verse<00:26:14.960><c> 25,</c><00:26:16.759><c> Matthew</c><00:26:17.079><c> 14,</c>

00:26:18.619 --> 00:26:20.599
in<00:26:18.720><c> the</c><00:26:19.039><c> fourth</c><00:26:19.380><c> watch</c><00:26:19.799><c> of</c><00:26:20.019><c> the</c><00:26:20.220><c> night,</c>

00:26:20.859 --> 00:26:23.559
Jesus<00:26:21.279><c> went</c><00:26:21.539><c> unto</c><00:26:21.819><c> them,</c><00:26:22.579><c> walking</c><00:26:22.859><c> on</c><00:26:23.099><c> the</c><00:26:23.319><c> sea.</c>

00:26:23.940 --> 00:26:25.559
So<00:26:24.140><c> you</c><00:26:24.319><c> see</c><00:26:24.440><c> the</c><00:26:24.680><c> advance.</c>

00:26:26.200 --> 00:26:27.680
When<00:26:26.440><c> the</c><00:26:26.799><c> evening</c><00:26:27.000><c> was</c><00:26:27.380><c> come,</c>

00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:29.460
He's<00:26:27.680><c> somewhere</c><00:26:27.960><c> near</c><00:26:28.299><c> six.</c>

00:26:30.380 --> 00:26:33.339
He's<00:26:30.720><c> in</c><00:26:30.859><c> the</c><00:26:31.019><c> hills,</c><00:26:31.880><c> there</c><00:26:32.039><c> on</c><00:26:32.259><c> the</c><00:26:32.480><c> sea.</c>

00:26:33.940 --> 00:26:36.720
It's<00:26:34.240><c> the</c><00:26:34.500><c> fourth</c><00:26:34.779><c> watch</c><00:26:35.220><c> when</c><00:26:35.400><c> He</c><00:26:35.559><c> finally</c><00:26:35.880><c> comes</c><00:26:36.200><c> to</c><00:26:36.359><c> them,</c>

00:26:36.940 --> 00:26:40.339
which<00:26:37.160><c> means</c><00:26:37.559><c> they've</c><00:26:38.180><c> toiled</c><00:26:38.480><c> all</c><00:26:39.019><c> through</c><00:26:39.339><c> the</c><00:26:39.500><c> night.</c>

00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:43.019
When<00:26:41.420><c> was</c><00:26:41.579><c> the</c><00:26:41.799><c> fourth</c><00:26:42.039><c> watch?</c>

00:26:43.779 --> 00:26:46.660
Well,<00:26:44.180><c> the</c><00:26:44.380><c> Jews</c><00:26:44.680><c> divided</c><00:26:45.180><c> up</c><00:26:45.460><c> the</c><00:26:45.700><c> evening</c>

00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:49.880
in<00:26:48.079><c> a</c><00:26:48.259><c> different</c><00:26:48.420><c> way</c><00:26:48.640><c> than</c><00:26:48.759><c> the</c><00:26:49.000><c> Romans.</c>

00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:52.559
If<00:26:50.400><c> you</c><00:26:50.579><c> look</c><00:26:50.740><c> at</c><00:26:51.240><c> the</c><00:26:51.700><c> fourth</c><00:26:52.059><c> watch,</c>

00:26:52.819 --> 00:26:54.940
it's<00:26:53.119><c> the</c><00:26:53.279><c> last</c><00:26:53.779><c> watch</c><00:26:54.160><c> of</c><00:26:54.420><c> the</c><00:26:54.599><c> night.</c>

00:26:54.940 --> 00:26:58.839
Each<00:26:56.220><c> watch</c><00:26:56.619><c> was</c><00:26:56.839><c> about</c><00:26:57.140><c> three</c><00:26:57.380><c> hours</c><00:26:57.740><c> long.</c>

00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:03.259
The<00:26:59.180><c> fourth</c><00:26:59.460><c> watch</c><00:27:00.000><c> takes</c><00:27:00.380><c> us</c><00:27:00.579><c> between</c><00:27:00.980><c> three</c><00:27:01.539><c> and</c><00:27:01.740><c> six</c><00:27:02.099><c> a</c><00:27:02.319><c>.m.</c>

00:27:03.980 --> 00:27:06.559
So<00:27:04.259><c> somewhere</c><00:27:04.599><c> between</c><00:27:05.000><c> three</c><00:27:05.339><c> and</c><00:27:05.599><c> six,</c>

00:27:07.339 --> 00:27:09.259
Jesus<00:27:07.700><c> comes</c><00:27:08.019><c> to</c><00:27:08.160><c> them,</c><00:27:08.380><c> walking</c><00:27:08.660><c> on</c><00:27:08.859><c> the</c><00:27:09.059><c> water.</c>

00:27:09.440 --> 00:27:11.880
Most<00:27:09.740><c> of</c><00:27:09.900><c> the</c><00:27:10.039><c> night</c><00:27:10.200><c> by</c><00:27:10.440><c> then</c><00:27:10.619><c> has</c><00:27:10.900><c> passed.</c>

00:27:12.099 --> 00:27:14.599
You<00:27:12.279><c> see</c><00:27:12.380><c> why</c><00:27:12.579><c> they</c><00:27:12.759><c> were</c><00:27:13.000><c> toiling</c><00:27:13.339><c> or</c><00:27:13.640><c> tormented?</c>

00:27:15.019 --> 00:27:18.759
They<00:27:15.279><c> had</c><00:27:15.460><c> been</c><00:27:15.720><c> rowing</c><00:27:16.339><c> all</c><00:27:16.740><c> night</c><00:27:17.019><c> against</c><00:27:17.440><c> a</c><00:27:17.940><c> contrary</c><00:27:18.279><c> wind</c>

00:27:18.759 --> 00:27:23.039
from<00:27:19.519><c> about</c><00:27:19.900><c> six</c><00:27:20.500><c> in</c><00:27:20.839><c> the</c><00:27:21.160><c> afternoon,</c><00:27:21.819><c> the</c><00:27:22.039><c> evening,</c>

00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:26.480
right<00:27:23.720><c> through</c><00:27:24.000><c> the</c><00:27:24.180><c> night,</c><00:27:24.640><c> somewhere</c><00:27:25.000><c> between</c><00:27:25.480><c> three</c><00:27:25.799><c> and</c><00:27:26.000><c> six,</c>

00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:29.039
as<00:27:27.099><c> the</c><00:27:27.299><c> morning</c><00:27:27.500><c> is</c><00:27:27.740><c> about</c><00:27:27.980><c> to</c><00:27:28.220><c> dawn.</c>

00:27:29.380 --> 00:27:33.039
Now,<00:27:29.680><c> we've</c><00:27:29.920><c> got</c><00:27:30.019><c> a</c><00:27:30.119><c> little</c><00:27:30.359><c> arrow</c><00:27:30.599><c> here,</c><00:27:31.279><c> John</c><00:27:31.700><c> 6.</c>

00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:36.299
In<00:27:33.660><c> John</c><00:27:34.019><c> 6,</c><00:27:34.539><c> we</c><00:27:34.640><c> read</c><00:27:34.819><c> this.</c>

00:27:37.039 --> 00:27:38.920
Again,<00:27:37.539><c> a</c><00:27:37.779><c> time</c><00:27:38.099><c> clue.</c>

00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:42.440
At<00:27:39.960><c> the</c><00:27:40.180><c> end</c><00:27:40.299><c> of</c><00:27:40.440><c> the</c><00:27:40.579><c> miracle,</c><00:27:41.460><c> verse</c><00:27:41.619><c> 16,</c>

00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:45.500
when<00:27:43.119><c> even</c><00:27:43.339><c> was</c><00:27:43.579><c> now</c><00:27:43.880><c> come,</c><00:27:44.119><c> His</c><00:27:44.339><c> disciples</c><00:27:44.779><c> went</c><00:27:45.000><c> down</c><00:27:45.339><c> unto</c>

00:27:45.500 --> 00:27:46.579
the<00:27:45.779><c> sea.</c>

00:27:46.960 --> 00:27:48.960
John's<00:27:47.440><c> account</c><00:27:47.680><c> is</c><00:27:47.859><c> much</c><00:27:48.079><c> more</c><00:27:48.380><c> condensed.</c>

00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:51.240
Then<00:27:49.900><c> we</c><00:27:50.079><c> read</c><00:27:50.259><c> verse</c><00:27:50.460><c> 17,</c>

00:27:51.240 --> 00:27:55.720
and<00:27:51.799><c> entered</c><00:27:52.019><c> into</c><00:27:52.279><c> a</c><00:27:52.500><c> ship</c><00:27:52.700><c> and</c><00:27:53.019><c> went</c><00:27:53.099><c> over</c><00:27:53.400><c> the</c><00:27:53.660><c> sea</c><00:27:53.880><c> towards</c><00:27:54.319><c> Capernaum.</c>

00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:58.579
So<00:27:56.140><c> that's</c><00:27:56.400><c> where</c><00:27:56.500><c> they</c><00:27:56.640><c> were</c><00:27:56.839><c> headed,</c><00:27:57.220><c> back</c><00:27:57.460><c> towards</c><00:27:57.819><c> Capernaum.</c>

00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:01.920
They<00:27:59.039><c> went</c><00:27:59.259><c> from</c><00:27:59.579><c> west</c><00:28:00.259><c> to</c><00:28:00.740><c> east.</c>

00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:03.240
Five<00:28:02.240><c> thousand</c><00:28:02.579><c> are</c><00:28:02.920><c> fed.</c>

00:28:03.619 --> 00:28:04.740
They're<00:28:03.900><c> put</c><00:28:04.099><c> into</c><00:28:04.319><c> a</c><00:28:04.559><c> boat,</c>

00:28:04.819 --> 00:28:08.160
and<00:28:04.960><c> now</c><00:28:05.140><c> they're</c><00:28:05.299><c> heading</c><00:28:05.579><c> back</c><00:28:06.019><c> over</c><00:28:06.440><c> to</c><00:28:06.599><c> the</c><00:28:06.759><c> western</c><00:28:07.079><c> shore.</c>

00:28:08.619 --> 00:28:12.240
And<00:28:08.900><c> all</c><00:28:09.099><c> night</c><00:28:09.339><c> long,</c><00:28:10.279><c> from</c><00:28:10.519><c> six</c><00:28:10.799><c> o</c><00:28:11.099><c>'clock</c><00:28:11.660><c> on,</c>

00:28:12.460 --> 00:28:14.400
they're<00:28:12.720><c> facing</c><00:28:13.119><c> this</c><00:28:13.480><c> storm.</c>

00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:18.000
In<00:28:15.480><c> the</c><00:28:15.599><c> wee</c><00:28:15.759><c> hours</c><00:28:16.039><c> of</c><00:28:16.200><c> the</c><00:28:16.339><c> morning,</c><00:28:16.619><c> Jesus</c><00:28:16.960><c> walks</c><00:28:17.319><c> on</c><00:28:17.519><c> the</c><00:28:17.740><c> sea.</c>

00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:22.299
So,<00:28:19.299><c> in</c><00:28:19.319><c> verse</c><00:28:19.539><c> 17,</c><00:28:20.299><c> John</c><00:28:20.539><c> reinforces.</c>

00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:26.680
It<00:28:22.400><c> was</c><00:28:22.660><c> now</c><00:28:23.220><c> dark,</c><00:28:24.119><c> and</c><00:28:24.220><c> Jesus</c><00:28:24.619><c> was</c><00:28:24.960><c> not</c><00:28:25.259><c> come</c><00:28:25.519><c> to</c><00:28:25.680><c> them.</c>

00:28:27.259 --> 00:28:30.259
So<00:28:27.440><c> there's</c><00:28:27.720><c> the</c><00:28:27.940><c> scene,</c><00:28:28.299><c> and</c><00:28:28.400><c> we</c><00:28:28.539><c> have</c><00:28:28.680><c> all</c><00:28:28.900><c> the</c><00:28:29.119><c> time</c><00:28:29.420><c> clues.</c>

00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:32.599
We<00:28:30.480><c> know</c><00:28:30.660><c> exactly</c><00:28:31.140><c> what's</c><00:28:31.579><c> happening</c><00:28:31.880><c> and</c><00:28:32.259><c> when.</c>

00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:34.319
We<00:28:33.180><c> know</c><00:28:33.319><c> where</c><00:28:33.519><c> Jesus</c><00:28:33.920><c> is.</c>

00:28:34.619 --> 00:28:36.700
We<00:28:34.819><c> know</c><00:28:34.960><c> where</c><00:28:35.140><c> the</c><00:28:35.319><c> disciples</c><00:28:35.700><c> are.</c>

00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:39.079
Now,<00:28:37.440><c> if</c><00:28:37.539><c> you</c><00:28:37.680><c> have</c><00:28:37.799><c> your</c><00:28:37.980><c> notes,</c><00:28:38.259><c> we're</c><00:28:38.440><c> back</c><00:28:38.660><c> into</c><00:28:38.819><c> that</c>

00:28:39.079 --> 00:28:40.359
square<00:28:39.319><c> box.</c>

00:28:40.619 --> 00:28:42.700
So<00:28:40.900><c> we</c><00:28:41.000><c> go</c><00:28:41.160><c> back</c><00:28:41.380><c> there.</c>

00:28:43.779 --> 00:28:45.980
Number<00:28:44.039><c> six,</c><00:28:44.779><c> at</c><00:28:44.980><c> the</c><00:28:45.160><c> end</c><00:28:45.279><c> of</c><00:28:45.440><c> the</c><00:28:45.579><c> day,</c>

00:28:45.980 --> 00:28:49.740
Jesus<00:28:46.519><c> leaves</c><00:28:46.799><c> them</c><00:28:47.039><c> and</c><00:28:47.220><c> ascends</c><00:28:47.500><c> the</c><00:28:47.779><c> heights.</c>

00:28:50.259 --> 00:28:52.940
Number<00:28:50.640><c> seven,</c><00:28:51.579><c> night</c><00:28:51.799><c> comes.</c>

00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:57.839
Number<00:28:53.900><c> eight,</c><00:28:55.140><c> the</c><00:28:55.339><c> disciples</c><00:28:55.779><c> are</c><00:28:56.279><c> left</c><00:28:56.640><c> alone,</c>

00:28:57.900 --> 00:29:01.319

00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:04.359
Their<00:29:02.079><c> final</c><00:29:02.460><c> destination</c><00:29:03.119><c> is</c><00:29:03.440><c> Capernaum.</c>

00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:08.599
Young's<00:29:05.319><c> concordance,</c><00:29:06.259><c> strong's</c><00:29:06.839><c> concordance</c><00:29:07.440><c> confirm.</c>

00:29:13.839 --> 00:29:16.400
Now,<00:29:14.940><c> isn't</c><00:29:15.140><c> that</c><00:29:15.339><c> interesting?</c>

00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:19.440

00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:21.960
It's<00:29:20.019><c> Passover,</c><00:29:20.539><c> brothers</c><00:29:20.759><c> and</c><00:29:21.019><c> sisters.</c>

00:29:22.420 --> 00:29:24.980
Jesus<00:29:22.779><c> has</c><00:29:23.019><c> had</c><00:29:23.180><c> a</c><00:29:23.380><c> multitude</c><00:29:23.799><c> in</c><00:29:23.960><c> the</c><00:29:24.140><c> wilderness.</c>

00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:27.519
He's<00:29:25.500><c> fed</c><00:29:25.680><c> the</c><00:29:25.960><c> multitude</c><00:29:26.539><c> bread.</c>

00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:32.980
It's<00:29:28.880><c> Passover,</c><00:29:29.859><c> identifying</c><00:29:30.400><c> himself</c><00:29:31.039><c> as</c><00:29:31.240><c> the</c><00:29:31.460><c> Passover</c><00:29:31.880><c> lamb,</c>

00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:40.819
Jesus<00:29:39.480><c> is</c><00:29:39.740><c> up</c><00:29:39.839><c> on</c><00:29:40.000><c> the</c><00:29:40.160><c> heights</c><00:29:40.400><c> praying.</c>

00:29:40.819 --> 00:29:43.839
The<00:29:41.380><c> disciples</c><00:29:41.859><c> are</c><00:29:42.259><c> rowing</c><00:29:42.539><c> and</c><00:29:42.819><c> trying</c><00:29:43.000><c> to</c><00:29:43.140><c> get</c><00:29:43.339><c> back</c><00:29:43.680><c> to</c>

00:29:48.779 --> 00:29:50.119
Now<00:29:48.880><c> we</c><00:29:48.940><c> know</c><00:29:49.079><c> where</c><00:29:49.200><c> they're</c><00:29:49.420><c> headed.</c>

00:29:50.140 --> 00:29:52.200
We're<00:29:50.400><c> going</c><00:29:50.700><c> to</c><00:29:50.880><c> the</c><00:29:50.960><c> city</c><00:29:51.180><c> of</c><00:29:51.460><c> consolation.</c>

00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:55.380
We're<00:29:52.640><c> heading</c><00:29:52.880><c> for</c><00:29:53.180><c> Capernaum.</c>

00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:59.299
Could<00:29:55.680><c> Jesus</c><00:29:56.039><c> have</c><00:29:56.240><c> seen</c><00:29:56.460><c> them</c><00:29:57.279><c> from</c><00:29:58.220><c> those</c><00:29:58.480><c> heights?</c>

00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:02.880
Yes,<00:30:01.740><c> he</c><00:30:01.920><c> did</c><00:30:02.160><c> see</c><00:30:02.380><c> them.</c>

00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:09.640
Now<00:30:03.460><c> we</c><00:30:03.619><c> use</c><00:30:03.799><c> Mark</c><00:30:04.160><c> 6,</c><00:30:06.880><c> verse</c><00:30:07.119><c> 46</c><00:30:07.799><c> of</c><00:30:08.019><c> Mark</c><00:30:08.359><c> 6.</c>

00:30:09.740 --> 00:30:12.920
And<00:30:10.279><c> when</c><00:30:10.519><c> he</c><00:30:10.700><c> had</c><00:30:11.000><c> sent</c><00:30:11.119><c> them</c><00:30:11.380><c> away,</c><00:30:12.279><c> Mark</c><00:30:12.480><c> says,</c>

00:30:15.980 --> 00:30:17.660
Now<00:30:16.180><c> we</c><00:30:16.299><c> know</c><00:30:16.460><c> what</c><00:30:16.559><c> he</c><00:30:16.660><c> was</c><00:30:16.819><c> doing.</c>

00:30:17.900 --> 00:30:19.400
He<00:30:18.000><c> wasn't</c><00:30:18.200><c> just</c><00:30:18.460><c> resting.</c>

00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:24.460
In<00:30:19.980><c> verse</c><00:30:20.220><c> 47,</c><00:30:21.559><c> and</c><00:30:22.579><c> when</c><00:30:22.900><c> even</c><00:30:23.180><c> was</c><00:30:23.500><c> come,</c>

00:30:25.180 --> 00:30:28.160
the<00:30:25.380><c> ship</c><00:30:25.799><c> was</c><00:30:27.000><c> in</c><00:30:27.220><c> the</c><00:30:27.299><c> midst</c><00:30:27.519><c> of</c><00:30:27.720><c> the</c><00:30:27.920><c> sea.</c>

00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:30.940
So<00:30:28.380><c> they're</c><00:30:28.619><c> halfway</c><00:30:29.140><c> over</c><00:30:29.839><c> Galilee.</c>

00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:33.559
They're<00:30:31.579><c> heading</c><00:30:31.859><c> back</c><00:30:32.259><c> to</c><00:30:32.400><c> the</c><00:30:32.559><c> city</c><00:30:32.720><c> of</c><00:30:33.000><c> consolation.</c>

00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:35.299
They're<00:30:33.720><c> in</c><00:30:33.819><c> the</c><00:30:33.920><c> middle</c><00:30:34.039><c> of</c><00:30:34.220><c> the</c><00:30:34.339><c> lake.</c>

00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:38.779
And<00:30:36.640><c> he</c><00:30:37.220><c> alone</c><00:30:37.839><c> on</c><00:30:38.200><c> the</c><00:30:38.460><c> land.</c>

00:30:38.779 --> 00:30:41.460
Now<00:30:39.079><c> look</c><00:30:39.240><c> at</c><00:30:39.380><c> the</c><00:30:39.619><c> stress</c><00:30:39.839><c> in</c><00:30:40.000><c> Matthew's</c><00:30:40.559><c> Gospel.</c>

00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:43.460
He<00:30:41.740><c> is</c><00:30:42.279><c> alone.</c>

00:30:43.579 --> 00:30:45.420
He<00:30:43.799><c> has</c><00:30:44.200><c> departed.</c>

00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:47.180

00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:49.140
And<00:30:47.680><c> he's</c><00:30:47.839><c> there</c><00:30:48.200><c> praying.</c>

00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:51.700
In<00:30:49.359><c> other</c><00:30:49.519><c> words,</c><00:30:49.720><c> he's</c><00:30:49.960><c> in</c><00:30:50.140><c> fellowship</c><00:30:50.460><c> with</c><00:30:50.660><c> God.</c>

00:30:52.200 --> 00:30:57.119
And<00:30:52.480><c> verse</c><00:30:52.779><c> 48,</c><00:30:54.079><c> we</c><00:30:54.259><c> thank</c><00:30:54.539><c> Matthew's</c><00:30:55.220><c> Gospel</c><00:30:55.579><c> for</c><00:30:55.779><c> this</c><00:30:56.000><c> information.</c>

00:30:57.900 --> 00:31:02.119
And<00:30:58.119><c> he</c><00:30:58.759><c> saw</c><00:30:59.200><c> them</c><00:30:59.619><c> toiling</c><00:31:00.299><c> and</c><00:31:00.740><c> rowing.</c>

00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:04.539
For<00:31:02.559><c> the</c><00:31:02.759><c> wind</c><00:31:02.859><c> was</c><00:31:03.160><c> contrary</c><00:31:03.759><c> unto</c><00:31:04.059><c> them,</c>

00:31:12.700 --> 00:31:16.500

He's<00:31:41.099><c> not</c><00:31:41.299><c> with</c><00:31:41.500><c> them.</c>

00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:43.440
What's<00:31:42.559><c> he</c><00:31:42.660><c> doing?</c>

Did<00:32:00.420><c> they</c><00:32:00.740><c> know</c><00:32:01.119><c> that</c><00:32:01.299><c> he</c><00:32:01.440><c> could</c><00:32:01.640><c> see</c><00:32:01.880><c> them?</c>

00:32:02.660 --> 00:32:04.180
Of<00:32:03.000><c> course</c><00:32:03.259><c> not.</c>

00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:07.740
Their<00:32:05.019><c> despair</c><00:32:05.559><c> in</c><00:32:05.900><c> the</c><00:32:06.119><c> boat</c><00:32:06.319><c> is</c><00:32:06.599><c> generated</c><00:32:07.079><c> by</c><00:32:07.339><c> the</c><00:32:07.539><c> fact</c>

00:32:07.740 --> 00:32:10.319
that<00:32:07.940><c> Jesus</c><00:32:08.259><c> is</c><00:32:08.500><c> not</c><00:32:08.700><c> physically</c><00:32:09.180><c> present,</c>

00:32:10.420 --> 00:32:12.380
as<00:32:10.579><c> he</c><00:32:10.759><c> was</c><00:32:10.940><c> in</c><00:32:11.099><c> the</c><00:32:11.240><c> first</c><00:32:11.480><c> storm.</c>

00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:14.279

00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:16.420
Does<00:32:14.920><c> he</c><00:32:15.039><c> know</c><00:32:15.240><c> their</c><00:32:15.480><c> despair?</c>

00:32:17.119 --> 00:32:20.160
Can<00:32:17.319><c> he</c><00:32:17.579><c> empathize,</c><00:32:18.640><c> sympathize</c><00:32:19.319><c> with</c><00:32:19.480><c> their</c><00:32:19.759><c> toiling?</c>

00:32:20.500 --> 00:32:23.039
Yes,<00:32:21.480><c> he</c><00:32:21.759><c> sees</c><00:32:22.079><c> them.</c>

00:32:23.059 --> 00:32:25.779
He<00:32:23.220><c> not</c><00:32:23.380><c> only</c><00:32:23.680><c> sees</c><00:32:23.920><c> them</c><00:32:24.099><c> as</c><00:32:24.240><c> little</c><00:32:24.460><c> black</c><00:32:24.779><c> figures,</c>

00:32:28.519 --> 00:32:32.119
The<00:32:28.700><c> word</c><00:32:28.859><c> means</c><00:32:29.180><c> tormented,</c><00:32:30.420><c> as</c><00:32:30.599><c> applied</c><00:32:30.920><c> to</c><00:32:31.099><c> the</c><00:32:31.279><c> demons</c><00:32:31.519><c> as</c><00:32:31.819><c> well.</c>

00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:34.680
He<00:32:33.019><c> sees</c><00:32:33.299><c> them</c><00:32:33.539><c> in</c><00:32:33.640><c> torment.</c>

00:32:35.119 --> 00:32:36.700
That's<00:32:35.319><c> what</c><00:32:35.480><c> the</c><00:32:35.619><c> word</c><00:32:35.720><c> means.</c>

00:32:36.839 --> 00:32:42.359
He<00:32:37.240><c> sees</c><00:32:37.799><c> them</c><00:32:38.440><c> from</c><00:32:38.880><c> the</c><00:32:39.200><c> heights</c><00:32:39.599><c> in</c><00:32:40.420><c> the</c><00:32:40.680><c> darkness</c><00:32:41.039><c> of</c><00:32:41.279><c> the</c><00:32:41.460><c> night,</c>

00:32:42.940 --> 00:32:46.539
and<00:32:43.000><c> he</c><00:32:43.240><c> sees</c><00:32:43.460><c> them</c><00:32:44.420><c> toiling,</c><00:32:45.460><c> tormented.</c>

00:32:47.339 --> 00:32:50.680
They<00:32:47.640><c> are</c><00:32:47.880><c> saying,</c><00:32:48.859><c> where</c><00:32:49.299><c> is</c><00:32:49.819><c> he?</c>

00:32:50.859 --> 00:32:52.319
We've<00:32:51.299><c> been</c><00:32:51.480><c> rowing</c><00:32:51.859><c> all</c><00:32:52.119><c> night,</c>

00:32:52.339 --> 00:32:53.920
and<00:32:52.460><c> we're</c><00:32:52.599><c> still</c><00:32:52.859><c> in</c><00:32:53.059><c> the</c><00:32:53.099><c> midst</c><00:32:53.279><c> of</c><00:32:53.680><c> Galilee.</c>

00:32:53.980 --> 00:32:56.319
We<00:32:54.099><c> should</c><00:32:54.259><c> have</c><00:32:54.380><c> been</c><00:32:54.619><c> crossed</c><00:32:54.980><c> long</c><00:32:55.400><c> ago.</c>

00:32:56.839 --> 00:32:59.180
We're<00:32:57.039><c> heading</c><00:32:57.619><c> for</c><00:32:57.940><c> the</c><00:32:58.119><c> city</c><00:32:58.279><c> of</c><00:32:58.619><c> consolation,</c>

00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:01.099
but<00:32:59.519><c> where's</c><00:33:00.019><c> Jesus?</c>

00:33:01.259 --> 00:33:05.140
We<00:33:01.740><c> thought</c><00:33:01.980><c> he</c><00:33:02.099><c> would</c><00:33:02.319><c> join</c><00:33:02.599><c> us,</c><00:33:02.980><c> take</c><00:33:03.079><c> another</c><00:33:03.380><c> boat,</c><00:33:03.900><c> probably</c><00:33:04.099><c> they</c><00:33:04.380><c> thought.</c>

00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:07.299
For<00:33:05.720><c> sure</c><00:33:05.940><c> they</c><00:33:06.079><c> must</c><00:33:06.299><c> have</c><00:33:06.440><c> thought</c><00:33:06.599><c> he</c><00:33:06.680><c> would</c><00:33:06.839><c> take</c><00:33:07.039><c> another</c>

00:33:07.299 --> 00:33:08.920
boat<00:33:07.559><c> and</c><00:33:07.779><c> join</c><00:33:07.960><c> them.</c>

00:33:09.539 --> 00:33:11.180
The<00:33:09.740><c> hour's</c><00:33:10.200><c> late.</c>

00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:14.559
It's<00:33:11.799><c> now</c><00:33:12.259><c> from</c><00:33:12.640><c> evening</c><00:33:13.319><c> through</c><00:33:13.980><c> the</c><00:33:14.180><c> night.</c>

00:33:14.859 --> 00:33:17.559
It's<00:33:15.180><c> not</c><00:33:15.420><c> far</c><00:33:15.720><c> before</c><00:33:15.980><c> the</c><00:33:16.200><c> sun</c><00:33:16.339><c> will</c><00:33:16.559><c> rise.</c>

00:33:18.099 --> 00:33:20.980
Where's<00:33:18.579><c> Jesus,</c><00:33:19.480><c> they</c><00:33:19.740><c> must</c><00:33:19.960><c> have</c><00:33:20.140><c> asked.</c>

00:33:21.240 --> 00:33:23.680
The<00:33:21.460><c> first</c><00:33:21.720><c> time</c><00:33:21.940><c> we</c><00:33:22.059><c> got</c><00:33:22.240><c> into</c><00:33:22.440><c> this</c><00:33:22.619><c> situation,</c><00:33:23.240><c> they</c><00:33:23.460><c> might</c>

00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:24.140
have<00:33:23.859><c> said,</c>

00:33:24.420 --> 00:33:26.880
he<00:33:24.640><c> was</c><00:33:24.880><c> asleep</c><00:33:25.279><c> when</c><00:33:25.420><c> the</c><00:33:25.579><c> boat</c><00:33:25.720><c> was</c><00:33:25.920><c> almost</c><00:33:26.200><c> full</c><00:33:26.420><c> of</c><00:33:26.619><c> water</c>

00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:29.940
until<00:33:27.119><c> finally</c><00:33:27.420><c> we</c><00:33:27.740><c> appealed</c><00:33:28.200><c> to</c><00:33:28.359><c> him,</c><00:33:28.680><c> and</c><00:33:28.900><c> then</c><00:33:29.019><c> he</c><00:33:29.160><c> woke</c><00:33:29.339><c> up.</c>

00:33:29.940 --> 00:33:32.339
But<00:33:31.039><c> now</c><00:33:31.339><c> he's</c><00:33:31.519><c> not</c><00:33:31.700><c> even</c><00:33:31.920><c> here.</c>

00:33:32.579 --> 00:33:34.160
He's<00:33:32.940><c> not</c><00:33:33.099><c> even</c><00:33:33.420><c> sleeping</c><00:33:33.759><c> in</c><00:33:33.900><c> the</c><00:33:34.039><c> boat.</c>

00:33:34.339 --> 00:33:35.859
We<00:33:34.339><c> can't</c><00:33:34.740><c> arouse</c><00:33:35.079><c> him.</c>

00:33:36.660 --> 00:33:38.180
Does<00:33:36.779><c> he</c><00:33:36.920><c> know</c><00:33:37.079><c> our</c><00:33:37.299><c> despair?</c>

00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:40.799
Does<00:33:39.240><c> he</c><00:33:39.380><c> understand</c><00:33:39.900><c> what</c><00:33:40.039><c> we're</c><00:33:40.220><c> going</c><00:33:40.500><c> through?</c>

00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:42.619
Where<00:33:41.240><c> is</c><00:33:41.640><c> he?</c>

00:33:43.140 --> 00:33:44.880
He's<00:33:43.700><c> up</c><00:33:43.819><c> in</c><00:33:43.940><c> the</c><00:33:44.039><c> heights,</c>

00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:46.700
and<00:33:45.400><c> he's</c><00:33:45.619><c> in</c><00:33:45.759><c> fellowship</c><00:33:46.079><c> with</c><00:33:46.299><c> God,</c>

00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:48.900
and<00:33:47.000><c> he's</c><00:33:47.339><c> praying</c><00:33:47.660><c> to</c><00:33:47.819><c> the</c><00:33:47.960><c> Father.</c>

00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:52.259
And<00:33:49.539><c> he</c><00:33:49.700><c> looks</c><00:33:49.920><c> down</c><00:33:50.240><c> over</c><00:33:50.420><c> the</c><00:33:50.599><c> heights</c><00:33:50.980><c> through</c><00:33:51.599><c> the</c><00:33:51.819><c> darkness</c>

00:33:52.259 --> 00:33:54.200
with<00:33:52.500><c> his</c><00:33:52.700><c> penetrating</c><00:33:53.339><c> gaze,</c>

00:33:54.660 --> 00:33:58.000
and<00:33:55.240><c> he</c><00:33:55.599><c> sees</c><00:33:55.900><c> them,</c><00:33:56.460><c> although</c><00:33:56.660><c> they</c><00:33:56.900><c> can't</c><00:33:57.220><c> see</c><00:33:57.440><c> him,</c>

00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:00.500
and<00:33:58.599><c> he</c><00:33:58.720><c> knows</c><00:33:59.160><c> not</c><00:33:59.579><c> only</c><00:33:59.740><c> that</c><00:33:59.859><c> they're</c><00:34:00.119><c> there,</c>

00:34:00.779 --> 00:34:03.579
he<00:34:00.819><c> knows</c><00:34:01.220><c> that</c><00:34:01.400><c> they</c><00:34:01.559><c> are</c><00:34:01.859><c> tormented.</c>

00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:06.779
Isn't<00:34:04.420><c> that</c><00:34:04.720><c> incredible,</c><00:34:05.539><c> brothers</c><00:34:05.599><c> and</c><00:34:05.839><c> sisters?</c>

00:34:07.420 --> 00:34:10.500
In<00:34:08.000><c> the</c><00:34:08.280><c> first</c><00:34:08.559><c> instance,</c><00:34:09.159><c> he</c><00:34:09.239><c> was</c><00:34:09.619><c> physically</c><00:34:10.059><c> with</c><00:34:10.360><c> them,</c>

00:34:10.539 --> 00:34:12.219
as<00:34:10.679><c> he</c><00:34:10.840><c> was</c><00:34:10.980><c> in</c><00:34:11.139><c> the</c><00:34:11.320><c> ministry.</c>

00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:16.719
But<00:34:13.380><c> now,</c><00:34:13.840><c> unlike</c><00:34:14.320><c> the</c><00:34:14.639><c> ministry</c><00:34:15.039><c> experience,</c><00:34:15.699><c> he's</c><00:34:15.940><c> left</c><00:34:16.179><c> them.</c>

00:34:17.099 --> 00:34:19.659
But<00:34:17.280><c> he</c><00:34:17.480><c> hasn't</c><00:34:17.800><c> really</c><00:34:18.519><c> left</c><00:34:18.840><c> them.</c>

00:34:20.019 --> 00:34:21.539
Let's<00:34:20.219><c> go</c><00:34:20.420><c> on</c><00:34:20.639><c> further.</c>

00:34:22.659 --> 00:34:25.539
Towards<00:34:23.000><c> the</c><00:34:23.260><c> fourth</c><00:34:23.500><c> watch,</c><00:34:24.019><c> Jesus</c><00:34:24.480><c> comes</c><00:34:24.960><c> to</c><00:34:25.139><c> the</c><00:34:25.280><c> aid</c><00:34:25.400><c> of</c>

00:34:25.539 --> 00:34:26.199
the<00:34:25.739><c> disciples.</c>

00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:31.780

00:37:37.699 --> 00:37:40.519
We've<00:37:38.000><c> been</c><00:37:38.159><c> rowing</c><00:37:38.699><c> all</c><00:37:39.059><c> through</c><00:37:39.420><c> the</c><00:37:39.739><c> darkness</c><00:37:40.119><c> of</c><00:37:40.360><c> the</c>

00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:53.739
We<00:37:51.260><c> wonder,</c><00:37:51.980><c> when</c><00:37:52.079><c> is</c><00:37:52.219><c> he</c><00:37:52.380><c> coming</c><00:37:52.599><c> back?</c>

00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:56.840
And<00:37:54.480><c> yet</c><00:37:54.639><c> the</c><00:37:54.980><c> reassurance</c><00:37:55.800><c> to</c><00:37:56.099><c> all</c><00:37:56.340><c> of</c><00:37:56.460><c> us</c><00:37:56.639><c> is,</c>

00:38:04.679 --> 00:38:07.519
is<00:38:04.780><c> the</c><00:38:05.119><c> reassurance,</c><00:38:06.059><c> brothers</c><00:38:06.159><c> and</c><00:38:06.519><c> sisters,</c>

00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:10.239
that<00:38:07.780><c> he</c><00:38:08.079><c> sees</c><00:38:08.460><c> us</c><00:38:08.760><c> in</c><00:38:09.000><c> our</c><00:38:09.360><c> toil,</c>

00:38:16.139 --> 00:38:17.699
Now,<00:38:16.760><c> brothers</c><00:38:16.800><c> and</c><00:38:17.059><c> sisters,</c>

00:38:18.199 --> 00:38:21.480
perhaps<00:38:18.659><c> we</c><00:38:18.900><c> might</c><00:38:19.119><c> be</c><00:38:19.420><c> asking,</c><00:38:20.059><c> hold</c><00:38:20.239><c> on.</c>

00:38:22.340 --> 00:38:24.760
If<00:38:22.800><c> Jesus</c><00:38:23.219><c> is</c><00:38:23.460><c> in</c><00:38:23.599><c> the</c><00:38:23.820><c> heights,</c>

00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:26.760

and<00:38:27.000><c> the</c><00:38:27.039><c> sun</c><00:38:27.360><c> yet</c><00:38:27.780><c> hasn't</c><00:38:28.199><c> risen,</c>

00:38:30.699 --> 00:38:33.480
and<00:38:30.739><c> the</c><00:38:31.000><c> disciples</c><00:38:31.400><c> are</c><00:38:31.719><c> out</c><00:38:31.900><c> on</c><00:38:32.179><c> Galilee</c><00:38:32.539><c> bobbing</c><00:38:33.000><c> around</c>

00:38:33.480 --> 00:38:35.139
in<00:38:33.920><c> this</c><00:38:34.179><c> storm,</c>

00:38:35.340 --> 00:38:37.739
how<00:38:35.780><c> could</c><00:38:35.980><c> Jesus</c><00:38:36.280><c> have</c><00:38:36.500><c> seen</c><00:38:36.699><c> them?</c>

00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:40.579
Is<00:38:39.519><c> it</c><00:38:39.659><c> a</c><00:38:39.780><c> miracle?</c>

00:38:40.659 --> 00:38:42.539
Very<00:38:40.960><c> well</c><00:38:41.159><c> could</c><00:38:41.340><c> be</c><00:38:41.539><c> a</c><00:38:41.679><c> miracle.</c>

00:38:42.820 --> 00:38:45.380
You<00:38:42.840><c> know,</c><00:38:43.039><c> Jesus</c><00:38:43.420><c> could</c><00:38:43.699><c> see</c><00:38:43.900><c> through</c><00:38:44.199><c> every</c><00:38:44.800><c> person</c><00:38:45.159><c> that</c>

00:38:45.380 --> 00:38:46.280
ever<00:38:45.559><c> came</c><00:38:45.820><c> to</c><00:38:46.019><c> him.</c>

00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:50.360
He<00:38:46.800><c> needed</c><00:38:47.119><c> not</c><00:38:47.679><c> that</c><00:38:48.059><c> any</c><00:38:48.280><c> should</c><00:38:48.539><c> testify</c><00:38:49.179><c> of</c><00:38:49.380><c> him,</c>

00:38:50.579 --> 00:38:53.300
for<00:38:50.860><c> he</c><00:38:51.099><c> knew</c><00:38:51.239><c> what</c><00:38:51.460><c> was</c><00:38:51.739><c> in</c><00:38:52.000><c> them,</c><00:38:52.739><c> says</c><00:38:52.860><c> John.</c>

00:38:53.300 --> 00:38:56.980
So<00:38:53.760><c> in</c><00:38:53.920><c> other</c><00:38:54.119><c> words,</c><00:38:55.159><c> Jesus</c><00:38:55.260><c> could</c><00:38:55.539><c> see</c><00:38:55.780><c> through</c><00:38:55.960><c> people.</c>

00:38:57.300 --> 00:38:58.380
No<00:38:57.460><c> problem.</c>

00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:00.519
Miraculously,<00:38:59.079><c> Jesus</c><00:38:59.500><c> knew</c><00:38:59.719><c> what</c><00:38:59.940><c> our</c><00:39:00.199><c> thoughts,</c>

00:39:00.719 --> 00:39:03.320
or<00:39:00.880><c> what</c><00:39:01.039><c> their</c><00:39:01.380><c> thoughts</c><00:39:01.699><c> were</c><00:39:02.139><c> during</c><00:39:02.719><c> the</c><00:39:02.940><c> ministry.</c>

00:39:03.820 --> 00:39:06.440
No<00:39:03.980><c> one</c><00:39:04.099><c> had</c><00:39:04.280><c> to</c><00:39:04.440><c> tell</c><00:39:04.619><c> Jesus</c><00:39:04.940><c> what</c><00:39:05.159><c> somebody</c><00:39:05.420><c> was</c><00:39:05.659><c> thinking.</c>

00:39:06.480 --> 00:39:08.699
He<00:39:06.639><c> had</c><00:39:06.860><c> a</c><00:39:07.099><c> penetrating</c><00:39:07.679><c> gaze.</c>

00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:12.280
He<00:39:09.300><c> needed</c><00:39:09.559><c> not</c><00:39:09.920><c> that</c><00:39:10.139><c> any</c><00:39:10.260><c> should</c><00:39:10.519><c> testify</c><00:39:11.079><c> of</c><00:39:11.280><c> what</c><00:39:11.460><c> somebody</c><00:39:11.679><c> was</c><00:39:11.940><c> thinking,</c>

00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:16.320
for<00:39:12.739><c> he</c><00:39:12.840><c> could</c><00:39:13.099><c> see</c><00:39:13.460><c> through</c><00:39:13.699><c> you,</c><00:39:14.360><c> as</c><00:39:14.599><c> he</c><00:39:14.760><c> will</c><00:39:14.900><c> when</c><00:39:15.039><c> he</c><00:39:15.119><c> meets</c><00:39:15.320><c> us.</c>

00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:18.619
So<00:39:16.679><c> we</c><00:39:16.820><c> know</c><00:39:17.139><c> that</c><00:39:17.500><c> was</c><00:39:17.699><c> a</c><00:39:17.840><c> miracle.</c>

00:39:18.739 --> 00:39:22.739
That<00:39:19.000><c> could</c><00:39:19.260><c> explain</c><00:39:19.800><c> how</c><00:39:20.059><c> he</c><00:39:20.219><c> could</c><00:39:20.480><c> have</c><00:39:21.059><c> such</c><00:39:21.460><c> a</c><00:39:21.679><c> penetrating</c><00:39:22.219><c> gaze</c>

00:39:22.739 --> 00:39:24.539
through<00:39:23.360><c> the</c><00:39:23.519><c> darkness.</c>

00:39:25.300 --> 00:39:27.199
But<00:39:25.480><c> there</c><00:39:25.639><c> might</c><00:39:25.880><c> just</c><00:39:26.159><c> be</c><00:39:26.300><c> an</c><00:39:26.480><c> additional</c><00:39:26.800><c> point,</c>

00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:30.320
like<00:39:27.840><c> a</c><00:39:28.079><c> blunt,</c><00:39:28.679><c> undesigned</c><00:39:29.159><c> coincidence.</c>

00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:33.960
There's<00:39:31.619><c> no</c><00:39:31.900><c> indication,</c><00:39:32.659><c> as</c><00:39:32.920><c> in</c><00:39:33.119><c> the</c><00:39:33.239><c> first</c><00:39:33.519><c> storm,</c>

00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:39.179
that<00:39:34.139><c> we've</c><00:39:34.480><c> got</c><00:39:35.559><c> a</c><00:39:35.980><c> breaking</c><00:39:36.280><c> of</c><00:39:36.639><c> clouds,</c><00:39:37.659><c> lightning</c><00:39:38.000><c> and</c><00:39:38.320><c> rain.</c>

00:39:39.300 --> 00:39:42.019
There's<00:39:39.579><c> no</c><00:39:39.780><c> suggestion</c><00:39:40.219><c> of</c><00:39:40.420><c> that</c><00:39:40.579><c> in</c><00:39:40.719><c> the</c><00:39:40.880><c> second</c><00:39:41.099><c> storm.</c>

00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:46.059
The<00:39:42.800><c> details</c><00:39:43.280><c> indicate</c><00:39:43.940><c> that</c><00:39:44.079><c> what</c><00:39:44.239><c> they</c><00:39:44.420><c> were</c><00:39:44.659><c> fighting</c><00:39:45.059><c> was</c>

00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:49.500
Let's<00:39:48.579><c> get</c><00:39:48.739><c> that</c><00:39:49.039><c> straight.</c>

00:39:54.599 --> 00:39:57.960
Now<00:39:54.719><c> the</c><00:39:54.840><c> ship</c><00:39:55.059><c> was</c><00:39:55.280><c> in</c><00:39:55.500><c> the</c><00:39:55.579><c> midst</c><00:39:55.820><c> of</c><00:39:56.019><c> the</c><00:39:56.199><c> sea,</c><00:39:57.000><c> tossed</c><00:39:57.219><c> with</c><00:39:57.440><c> waves,</c>

00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:08.079
So<00:40:06.039><c> picture</c><00:40:06.340><c> it,</c><00:40:06.539><c> perhaps</c><00:40:06.860><c> a</c><00:40:07.000><c> little</c><00:40:07.159><c> differently.</c>

00:40:08.900 --> 00:40:12.159
It's<00:40:09.500><c> at</c><00:40:09.739><c> night.</c><00:40:10.719><c> It's</c><00:40:11.179><c> dark.</c>

00:40:12.599 --> 00:40:15.880
They've<00:40:12.840><c> been</c><00:40:13.019><c> resisting</c><00:40:13.800><c> a</c><00:40:14.639><c> contrary</c><00:40:15.340><c> wind.</c>

00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:20.019
And<00:40:16.480><c> even</c><00:40:16.760><c> though</c><00:40:16.940><c> it's</c><00:40:17.179><c> now</c><00:40:17.440><c> almost</c><00:40:17.940><c> five</c><00:40:18.300><c> or</c><00:40:18.480><c> six</c><00:40:18.760><c> in</c><00:40:18.900><c> the</c><00:40:19.039><c> morning,</c>

00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:22.260
they<00:40:20.519><c> should</c><00:40:20.719><c> have</c><00:40:20.820><c> been</c><00:40:20.960><c> already</c><00:40:21.159><c> across</c><00:40:21.599><c> Galilee</c><00:40:22.059><c> within</c>

about<00:40:22.420><c> an</c><00:40:22.659><c> hour.</c>

00:40:23.559 --> 00:40:25.900
But<00:40:23.739><c> they're</c><00:40:23.900><c> still</c><00:40:24.099><c> in</c><00:40:24.280><c> the</c><00:40:24.320><c> midst</c><00:40:24.480><c> of</c><00:40:24.840><c> the</c><00:40:25.119><c> sea.</c>

00:40:26.519 --> 00:40:29.920
It<00:40:26.699><c> may</c><00:40:26.980><c> not</c><00:40:27.340><c> have</c><00:40:27.539><c> been</c><00:40:27.699><c> a</c><00:40:27.840><c> dark</c><00:40:28.059><c> night</c><00:40:28.360><c> in</c><00:40:28.519><c> terms</c><00:40:28.719><c> of</c><00:40:28.940><c> clouds.</c>

Something<00:40:32.739><c> else.</c>

00:40:34.019 --> 00:40:36.000
What<00:40:34.280><c> time</c><00:40:34.559><c> of</c><00:40:34.739><c> year</c><00:40:34.840><c> is</c><00:40:35.000><c> it?</c>

00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:38.679
It's<00:40:37.800><c> Passover.</c>

00:40:39.500 --> 00:40:42.920
So<00:40:39.820><c> what,</c><00:40:40.019><c> you</c><00:40:40.139><c> might</c><00:40:40.380><c> say,</c><00:40:41.820><c> could</c><00:40:42.059><c> it</c><00:40:42.320><c> be,</c>

00:40:42.920 --> 00:40:46.460
being<00:40:43.559><c> Passover</c><00:40:44.139><c> that</c><00:40:44.400><c> the</c><00:40:44.619><c> moon,</c><00:40:45.199><c> therefore,</c><00:40:45.340><c> was</c><00:40:45.579><c> full</c>

00:40:51.579 --> 00:40:55.820
Could<00:40:51.800><c> it</c><00:40:51.960><c> be</c><00:40:52.239><c> that,</c><00:40:52.699><c> along</c><00:40:53.260><c> with</c><00:40:53.860><c> or</c><00:40:54.260><c> as</c><00:40:54.519><c> well</c><00:40:54.800><c> as</c>

00:40:55.820 --> 00:40:58.460
the<00:40:56.260><c> fact</c><00:40:56.480><c> that</c><00:40:56.659><c> the</c><00:40:56.820><c> Master</c><00:40:57.099><c> has</c><00:40:57.360><c> a</c><00:40:57.559><c> penetrating</c><00:40:58.019><c> gaze?</c>

00:40:58.860 --> 00:41:02.960
If<00:40:59.280><c> that's</c><00:40:59.940><c> a</c><00:41:00.159><c> link,</c><00:41:01.019><c> there</c><00:41:01.500><c> might</c><00:41:01.760><c> be</c><00:41:02.019><c> another</c><00:41:02.179><c> one</c><00:41:02.400><c> here</c><00:41:02.760><c> in</c>

its<00:41:03.159><c> supposition.</c>

00:41:04.539 --> 00:41:06.960
When<00:41:04.940><c> Jesus</c><00:41:05.500><c> comes</c><00:41:05.960><c> across</c><00:41:06.500><c> the</c><00:41:06.780><c> lake,</c>

00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:12.139
what<00:41:07.340><c> do</c><00:41:07.559><c> they</c><00:41:07.820><c> suppose</c><00:41:08.579><c> that</c><00:41:09.280><c> Jesus</c><00:41:09.699><c> is</c><00:41:10.199><c> as</c><00:41:10.440><c> they</c><00:41:10.739><c> see</c><00:41:10.980><c> him</c><00:41:11.300><c> walking</c><00:41:11.739><c> on</c>

00:41:12.139 --> 00:41:13.159
the<00:41:12.380><c> sea?</c>

00:41:14.119 --> 00:41:15.639
They<00:41:14.260><c> think</c><00:41:14.420><c> he's</c><00:41:14.639><c> a</c><00:41:14.760><c> ghost.</c>

00:41:16.380 --> 00:41:19.179
They<00:41:16.500><c> think</c><00:41:16.679><c> he's</c><00:41:16.980><c> an</c><00:41:17.199><c> apparition,</c><00:41:18.139><c> it</c><00:41:18.340><c> says.</c>

00:41:19.579 --> 00:41:23.079
Now,<00:41:19.920><c> if</c><00:41:20.099><c> it's</c><00:41:20.559><c> Passover</c><00:41:20.980><c> and</c><00:41:21.920><c> it's</c><00:41:22.179><c> a</c><00:41:22.340><c> full</c><00:41:22.579><c> moon</c>

00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:27.320

00:41:29.559 --> 00:41:32.860
Jesus<00:41:30.039><c> advances</c><00:41:30.760><c> over</c><00:41:31.659><c> this</c><00:41:32.380><c> sea,</c>

00:41:32.860 --> 00:41:37.840
the<00:41:33.699><c> waves</c><00:41:34.219><c> perhaps,</c><00:41:35.179><c> the</c><00:41:35.400><c> wind,</c><00:41:35.980><c> but</c><00:41:36.119><c> not</c><00:41:36.320><c> necessarily</c><00:41:36.840><c> cloudy.</c>

00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:40.840
And<00:41:38.400><c> with</c><00:41:38.559><c> a</c><00:41:38.760><c> full</c><00:41:38.980><c> moon</c><00:41:39.320><c> being</c><00:41:39.719><c> Passover,</c>

00:41:41.420 --> 00:41:45.840
if<00:41:41.500><c> it</c><00:41:41.659><c> was</c><00:41:41.820><c> showing,</c><00:41:43.380><c> Jesus's</c><00:41:44.059><c> garments</c><00:41:44.440><c> would</c><00:41:44.679><c> have</c><00:41:44.760><c> been</c><00:41:44.900><c> illuminated.</c>

00:41:46.400 --> 00:41:48.420
He<00:41:46.619><c> would</c><00:41:46.780><c> have</c><00:41:46.920><c> looked</c><00:41:47.059><c> rather</c><00:41:47.460><c> spooky.</c>

00:41:48.940 --> 00:41:51.880
Anybody<00:41:49.239><c> walking</c><00:41:49.699><c> over</c><00:41:50.039><c> the</c><00:41:50.280><c> waves</c><00:41:50.539><c> on</c><00:41:51.360><c> Passover</c>

00:41:58.300 --> 00:42:01.179
It<00:41:58.579><c> may</c><00:41:58.840><c> just</c><00:41:59.179><c> explain</c><00:41:59.579><c> a</c><00:41:59.760><c> few</c><00:41:59.920><c> of</c><00:42:00.039><c> the</c><00:42:00.219><c> Gospel</c><00:42:00.599><c> details,</c>

00:42:18.340 --> 00:42:19.800
That's<00:42:18.719><c> only</c><00:42:18.940><c> a</c><00:42:19.199><c> possibility,</c>

00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:24.860
