In<00:02:32.900><c> Mark</c><00:02:33.340><c> 14</c><00:02:34.340><c> and</c><00:02:34.780><c> verse</c><00:02:35.060><c> 29,</c><00:02:37.639><c> Peter</c><00:02:37.879><c> again,</c><00:02:38.460><c> here's</c><00:02:38.680><c> his</c>

00:02:45.819 --> 00:02:52.039
And<00:02:46.099><c> his</c><00:02:46.319><c> third</c><00:02:46.680><c> protest</c><00:02:47.379><c> is</c><00:02:47.759><c> in</c><00:02:47.919><c> verse</c><00:02:48.199><c> 31,</c><00:02:50.259><c> after</c><00:02:51.199><c> Christ</c><00:02:51.599><c> re</c>

-comments<00:02:52.439><c> again</c><00:02:53.000><c> on</c><00:02:53.460><c> what</c><00:02:53.639><c> will</c><00:02:53.819><c> occur,</c>

00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:58.300
Peter<00:02:54.419><c> again,</c><00:02:54.960><c> third</c><00:02:55.280><c> time</c><00:02:55.719><c> says,</c><00:02:56.580><c> he</c><00:02:56.780><c> spake</c><00:02:57.099><c> the</c><00:02:57.280><c> more</c><00:02:57.539><c> vehemently,</c>

00:02:58.340 --> 00:03:01.099
if<00:02:58.479><c> I</c><00:02:58.639><c> should</c><00:02:58.900><c> die</c><00:02:59.259><c> with</c><00:02:59.500><c> thee,</c><00:02:59.659><c> I</c><00:02:59.860><c> will</c><00:03:00.099><c> not</c><00:03:00.300><c> deny</c><00:03:00.620><c> thee</c><00:03:00.860><c> in</c>

any<00:03:01.360><c> wise.</c>

00:03:01.659 --> 00:03:06.460
So<00:03:02.360><c> interestingly,</c><00:03:03.460><c> we</c><00:03:03.620><c> often</c><00:03:03.879><c> talk</c><00:03:04.080><c> about</c><00:03:04.319><c> the</c><00:03:04.539><c> three</c><00:03:05.219><c> denials</c><00:03:05.919><c> that</c>

00:03:06.460 --> 00:03:08.080
occurred<00:03:06.719><c> later</c><00:03:07.099><c> on</c><00:03:07.319><c> in</c><00:03:07.539><c> Peter's</c><00:03:07.919><c> life,</c>

00:03:08.139 --> 00:03:10.659
but<00:03:08.259><c> there</c><00:03:08.400><c> are</c><00:03:08.520><c> already</c><00:03:08.719><c> three</c><00:03:09.419><c> protests</c><00:03:10.080><c> in</c><00:03:10.280><c> the</c><00:03:10.439><c> presence</c>

00:03:10.659 --> 00:03:14.400
of<00:03:10.860><c> the</c><00:03:10.919><c> Lord</c><00:03:11.139><c> Jesus</c><00:03:11.539><c> Christ</c><00:03:12.060><c> about</c><00:03:12.659><c> his</c><00:03:13.099><c> faithfulness.</c>

00:03:14.599 --> 00:03:18.080
And<00:03:14.900><c> we</c><00:03:15.099><c> note</c><00:03:15.300><c> in</c><00:03:15.500><c> verse</c><00:03:15.780><c> 29</c><00:03:16.280><c> that</c><00:03:16.500><c> Peter</c><00:03:16.860><c> contrasts</c><00:03:17.639><c> himself</c>

00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:19.560
with<00:03:18.539><c> the</c><00:03:18.759><c> other</c><00:03:18.939><c> disciples.</c>

00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.620
He<00:03:20.060><c> looks</c><00:03:20.319><c> across</c><00:03:20.680><c> at</c><00:03:20.840><c> them</c><00:03:20.939><c> and</c><00:03:21.080><c> he</c><00:03:21.240><c> says</c><00:03:21.379><c> to</c><00:03:21.539><c> the</c><00:03:21.620><c> Lord</c><00:03:21.780><c> Jesus</c><00:03:22.180><c> Christ,</c>

00:03:23.060 --> 00:03:26.360
although<00:03:23.360><c> all</c><00:03:24.020><c> these</c><00:03:24.360><c> will</c><00:03:24.620><c> offend</c><00:03:25.000><c> you,</c><00:03:25.599><c> I</c><00:03:25.919><c> will</c><00:03:26.180><c> not.</c>

00:03:26.419 --> 00:03:29.400
There's<00:03:26.580><c> very</c><00:03:27.139><c> robust</c><00:03:27.740><c> faith</c><00:03:28.159><c> in</c><00:03:28.520><c> Peter.</c>

00:03:29.819 --> 00:03:33.099
We<00:03:30.280><c> often</c><00:03:30.599><c> look</c><00:03:30.840><c> at</c><00:03:30.919><c> that</c><00:03:31.159><c> in</c><00:03:31.639><c> a</c><00:03:31.759><c> disparaging</c><00:03:32.500><c> context.</c>

00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:34.680
And<00:03:33.240><c> we</c><00:03:33.340><c> say,</c><00:03:33.699><c> well,</c><00:03:33.800><c> we</c><00:03:33.879><c> know</c><00:03:34.080><c> the</c><00:03:34.139><c> end</c><00:03:34.280><c> of</c><00:03:34.479><c> the</c><00:03:34.539><c> story.</c>

00:03:34.780 --> 00:03:37.159
We<00:03:34.780><c> say,</c><00:03:34.979><c> well,</c><00:03:35.240><c> you</c><00:03:35.240><c> know,</c><00:03:35.460><c> Peter</c><00:03:35.659><c> was</c><00:03:36.300><c> a</c><00:03:36.379><c> little</c><00:03:36.500><c> bit</c><00:03:36.879><c> full</c>

00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:37.819

00:03:37.819 --> 00:03:40.199
and<00:03:38.259><c> we</c><00:03:38.419><c> know</c><00:03:38.639><c> that</c><00:03:38.840><c> he's</c><00:03:39.139><c> going</c><00:03:39.340><c> to</c><00:03:39.599><c> fall</c><00:03:39.800><c> apart.</c>

00:03:40.259 --> 00:03:43.419
But<00:03:40.400><c> for</c><00:03:40.659><c> a</c><00:03:40.819><c> moment,</c><00:03:41.659><c> let's</c><00:03:41.819><c> just</c><00:03:42.120><c> think</c><00:03:42.300><c> about</c><00:03:42.580><c> the</c><00:03:42.900><c> statement</c><00:03:43.099><c> that</c>

Peter<00:03:43.580><c> made</c>

00:03:46.780 --> 00:03:47.800
Jesus<00:03:47.240><c> Christ.</c>

00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:51.759
Lord<00:03:48.379><c> Jesus</c><00:03:48.659><c> Christ</c><00:03:48.919><c> is</c><00:03:49.120><c> focusing</c><00:03:49.620><c> on</c><00:03:50.259><c> the</c><00:03:50.439><c> Garden</c><00:03:50.659><c> of</c><00:03:50.860><c> Gethsemane</c><00:03:51.500><c> and</c>

00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:58.259
Just<00:03:56.340><c> think</c><00:03:56.599><c> of</c><00:03:56.719><c> the</c><00:03:56.860><c> strength</c><00:03:57.219><c> of</c><00:03:57.479><c> Peter's</c><00:03:57.919><c> comments</c>

00:04:00.740 --> 00:04:03.460
Where<00:04:00.919><c> Peter</c><00:04:01.039><c> just</c><00:04:01.400><c> lays</c><00:04:01.680><c> his</c><00:04:01.939><c> life</c><00:04:02.139><c> on</c><00:04:02.340><c> the</c><00:04:02.500><c> line</c><00:04:02.699><c> and</c><00:04:02.819><c> says,</c><00:04:03.460><c> Lord,</c>

I'm<00:04:49.180><c> going</c><00:04:49.300><c> to</c><00:04:49.540><c> sustain</c><00:04:50.000><c> and</c><00:04:50.180><c> be</c><00:04:50.519><c> faithful,</c><00:04:50.959><c> whatever</c><00:04:51.279><c> the</c>

00:04:52.139 --> 00:04:56.120
And<00:04:52.540><c> I'm</c><00:04:52.899><c> prepared</c><00:04:53.120><c> to</c><00:04:53.259><c> put</c><00:04:53.339><c> my</c><00:04:53.600><c> life</c><00:04:53.860><c> on</c><00:04:54.060><c> the</c><00:04:54.240><c> line</c><00:04:54.420><c> for</c><00:04:54.600><c> Jesus</c><00:04:55.100><c> Christ,</c>

00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:58.319
despite<00:04:56.399><c> if</c><00:04:56.779><c> other</c><00:04:57.019><c> brothers</c><00:04:57.279><c> and</c><00:04:57.459><c> sisters</c><00:04:57.600><c> fall</c><00:04:57.920><c> apart.</c>

00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:02.939
Would<00:04:58.839><c> we</c><00:04:59.240><c> have</c><00:04:59.639><c> the</c><00:05:00.160><c> level</c><00:05:00.439><c> of</c><00:05:00.819><c> commitment,</c><00:05:01.240><c> personal</c><00:05:01.740><c> commitment,</c>

00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:06.519
commitment<00:05:03.420><c> that</c><00:05:03.720><c> Peter</c><00:05:03.839><c> had</c><00:05:04.220><c> on</c><00:05:04.699><c> this</c><00:05:05.040><c> particular</c><00:05:05.480><c> occasion?</c>

00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:08.740
So<00:05:06.920><c> when</c><00:05:07.040><c> he</c><00:05:07.199><c> said,</c><00:05:07.500><c> I</c><00:05:07.500><c> believe</c><00:05:07.839><c> that</c><00:05:08.000><c> you</c><00:05:08.079><c> are</c><00:05:08.199><c> the</c><00:05:08.420><c> son</c><00:05:08.579><c> of</c>

00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:14.000
Peter<00:05:09.920><c> wanted</c><00:05:10.180><c> to</c><00:05:10.459><c> live</c><00:05:10.660><c> through</c><00:05:11.439><c> that</c><00:05:11.939><c> whole</c><00:05:12.360><c> statement</c><00:05:12.720><c> himself.</c>

00:05:15.180 --> 00:05:18.240
And<00:05:15.339><c> unfortunately,</c><00:05:15.740><c> perhaps</c><00:05:16.079><c> we</c><00:05:16.319><c> have</c><00:05:16.500><c> a</c><00:05:16.680><c> coloured</c><00:05:16.899><c> perception</c><00:05:17.540><c> of</c>

00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:24.519
of<00:05:23.459><c> commitment</c><00:05:23.759><c> that</c><00:05:23.920><c> he</c><00:05:24.120><c> made.</c>

00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:28.540
And<00:05:25.079><c> perhaps</c><00:05:25.420><c> we</c><00:05:25.860><c> ourselves</c><00:05:26.379><c> would</c><00:05:26.620><c> be</c><00:05:26.819><c> reticent</c><00:05:27.399><c> in</c><00:05:27.699><c> making.</c>

00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:33.399
And<00:05:29.439><c> so</c><00:05:29.540><c> in</c><00:05:29.740><c> verse</c><00:05:30.579><c> 30,</c><00:05:31.240><c> the</c><00:05:31.300><c> Lord</c><00:05:31.560><c> Jesus</c><00:05:31.920><c> Christ</c><00:05:32.220><c> says</c><00:05:32.459><c> to</c><00:05:32.600><c> him,</c><00:05:32.959><c> truly</c><00:05:33.139><c> I</c>

It's,<00:06:56.660><c> I</c><00:06:56.860><c> think,</c><00:06:57.519><c> a</c><00:06:57.720><c> point</c><00:06:57.899><c> of</c><00:06:58.220><c> commendation</c><00:06:58.879><c> for</c><00:06:59.160><c> Peter,</c>

00:08:14.060 --> 00:08:18.560
It's<00:08:14.240><c> not</c><00:08:14.399><c> as</c><00:08:14.600><c> though</c><00:08:14.720><c> the</c><00:08:14.899><c> Lord</c><00:08:15.060><c> needs</c><00:08:15.439><c> isolation</c><00:08:16.120><c> and</c><00:08:16.480><c> solitude</c><00:08:16.980><c> and</c><00:08:17.339><c> quietness.</c>

00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:27.800
because<00:08:25.800><c> Peter</c><00:08:26.199><c> was</c><00:08:26.420><c> the</c><00:08:26.720><c> verbal</c><00:08:27.060><c> encourager.</c>

00:08:28.259 --> 00:08:30.680
He<00:08:28.360><c> was</c><00:08:28.519><c> the</c><00:08:28.699><c> man</c><00:08:28.879><c> who</c><00:08:29.180><c> wore</c><00:08:29.339><c> his</c><00:08:29.600><c> heart</c><00:08:29.839><c> on</c><00:08:30.040><c> the</c><00:08:30.339><c> sleeve.</c>

These<00:08:41.879><c> three</c><00:08:42.279><c> men</c><00:08:42.840><c> are</c><00:08:43.480><c> the</c><00:08:43.879><c> closest</c><00:08:44.259><c> people</c><00:08:44.700><c> to</c><00:08:44.899><c> Jesus</c><00:08:45.340><c> in</c>

00:09:38.539 --> 00:09:42.299

00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:51.559
Well,<00:09:48.899><c> this</c><00:09:49.139><c> was</c><00:09:49.379><c> Peter</c><00:09:49.860><c> in</c><00:09:50.279><c> the</c><00:09:50.460><c> garden</c><00:09:50.659><c> of</c><00:09:50.899><c> Gethsemane,</c>

00:09:54.179 --> 00:09:56.639
And<00:09:54.379><c> we</c><00:09:54.500><c> notice</c><00:09:54.799><c> the</c><00:09:55.240><c> feelings</c><00:09:55.480><c> of</c><00:09:55.639><c> the</c><00:09:55.720><c> Lord</c><00:09:55.879><c> Jesus</c><00:09:56.220><c> Christ</c>

00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.919
Diagelot<00:10:00.860><c> says,</c><00:10:01.320><c> My</c><00:10:01.440><c> soul</c><00:10:01.879><c> is</c><00:10:02.279><c> encompassed</c><00:10:02.799><c> with</c><00:10:02.940><c> a</c><00:10:03.139><c> deadly</c><00:10:03.500><c> anguish.</c>

00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:05.980
There's<00:10:04.179><c> nothing</c><00:10:04.440><c> artificial</c><00:10:05.019><c> about</c><00:10:05.299><c> the</c><00:10:05.500><c> feelings</c><00:10:05.759><c> of</c>

Jesus<00:10:06.399><c> Christ.</c>

00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:12.179

00:10:12.179 --> 00:10:13.740
one<00:10:12.480><c> translation.</c>

00:10:13.820 --> 00:10:17.059
My<00:10:14.220><c> soul</c><00:10:14.620><c> is</c><00:10:15.120><c> crushed</c><00:10:15.440><c> with</c><00:10:15.820><c> grief</c><00:10:16.120><c> to</c><00:10:16.299><c> the</c><00:10:16.480><c> point</c><00:10:16.639><c> of</c><00:10:16.840><c> death.</c>

00:10:17.440 --> 00:10:20.740
Stay<00:10:17.960><c> here</c><00:10:18.480><c> and</c><00:10:18.899><c> watch</c><00:10:19.379><c> with</c><00:10:19.860><c> me.</c>

00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:25.340
Again,<00:10:22.919><c> at</c><00:10:23.039><c> the</c><00:10:23.039><c> end</c><00:10:23.159><c> of</c><00:10:23.259><c> verse</c><00:10:23.500><c> 33,</c><00:10:24.299><c> he</c><00:10:24.299><c> says,</c>

00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:29.659
the<00:10:25.399><c> record</c><00:10:25.759><c> says</c><00:10:25.980><c> he</c><00:10:26.159><c> began</c><00:10:26.419><c> to</c><00:10:26.740><c> be</c><00:10:26.860><c> sore</c><00:10:27.120><c> amazed</c><00:10:27.620><c> and</c><00:10:28.080><c> very</c><00:10:28.740><c> heavy.</c>

00:10:29.820 --> 00:10:33.379
And<00:10:30.379><c> our</c><00:10:30.620><c> lexographers</c><00:10:31.220><c> say</c><00:10:31.820><c> this</c><00:10:32.460><c> word</c><00:10:32.720><c> very</c><00:10:33.080><c> heavy</c>

00:10:33.379 --> 00:10:36.759
is<00:10:33.600><c> the</c><00:10:33.899><c> strongest</c><00:10:34.240><c> of</c><00:10:34.539><c> three</c><00:10:34.799><c> Greek</c><00:10:35.059><c> words</c><00:10:35.320><c> in</c><00:10:35.480><c> the</c><00:10:35.580><c> New</c><00:10:35.779><c> Testament</c><00:10:36.139><c> for</c><00:10:36.340><c> depression.</c>

00:10:36.960 --> 00:10:38.059
That's<00:10:37.039><c> what</c><00:10:37.259><c> strong</c><00:10:37.559><c> says.</c>

00:10:38.539 --> 00:10:41.299
And<00:10:38.580><c> let's</c><00:10:38.720><c> remember</c><00:10:39.200><c> that</c><00:10:39.799><c> it</c><00:10:40.080><c> isn't</c><00:10:40.259><c> just</c><00:10:40.659><c> this</c><00:10:41.000><c> moment</c>

00:10:41.299 --> 00:10:44.039
where<00:10:41.519><c> the</c><00:10:41.639><c> Lord</c><00:10:41.840><c> Jesus</c><00:10:42.159><c> Christ</c><00:10:42.460><c> is</c><00:10:42.679><c> in</c><00:10:42.820><c> feeling</c><00:10:43.039><c> this</c><00:10:43.519><c> intensity.</c>

00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:47.539
He's<00:10:44.799><c> been</c><00:10:45.039><c> leading</c><00:10:45.340><c> up</c><00:10:45.559><c> to</c><00:10:45.720><c> this</c><00:10:45.980><c> point</c><00:10:46.200><c> for</c><00:10:46.559><c> months.</c>

00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.159
He<00:10:48.139><c> knows</c><00:10:48.460><c> the</c><00:10:48.759><c> Passover</c><00:10:49.120><c> is</c><00:10:49.379><c> coming</c><00:10:49.659><c> around.</c>

00:10:50.379 --> 00:10:52.539
So<00:10:50.580><c> the</c><00:10:50.840><c> pressure</c><00:10:51.120><c> is</c><00:10:51.580><c> mounting.</c>

00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:57.080
And<00:10:53.820><c> this</c><00:10:53.960><c> particular</c><00:10:54.500><c> word,</c><00:10:55.659><c> adimonio,</c><00:10:56.419><c> is</c><00:10:56.620><c> used</c><00:10:56.799><c> only</c>

00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:57.740
three<00:10:57.480><c> times.</c>

00:10:57.740 --> 00:10:59.620
Used<00:10:57.980><c> to</c><00:10:58.259><c> Christ</c><00:10:58.500><c> in</c><00:10:58.720><c> Gethsemane</c><00:10:59.259><c> twice.</c>

00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:02.980

00:11:03.059 --> 00:11:06.440
When<00:11:03.159><c> the</c><00:11:03.340><c> brothers</c><00:11:03.519><c> and</c><00:11:03.759><c> sisters</c><00:11:04.139><c> received</c><00:11:04.740><c> news</c><00:11:05.100><c> of</c><00:11:05.299><c> his</c><00:11:05.519><c> sickness,</c>

00:11:10.580 --> 00:11:12.659
The<00:11:10.720><c> news</c><00:11:10.879><c> had</c><00:11:11.120><c> come</c><00:11:11.320><c> back</c><00:11:11.539><c> to</c><00:11:11.720><c> the</c><00:11:11.860><c> Philippian</c><00:11:12.179><c> Ecclesia</c>

00:11:12.659 --> 00:11:16.539
that<00:11:13.179><c> Epaphroditus</c><00:11:14.100><c> was</c><00:11:14.940><c> nigh</c><00:11:15.259><c> unto</c><00:11:15.519><c> death.</c>

00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:18.940
And<00:11:16.899><c> Epaphroditus</c><00:11:17.440><c> was</c><00:11:17.679><c> particularly</c><00:11:18.019><c> worried</c><00:11:18.460><c> about</c><00:11:18.740><c> the</c>

00:11:20.940 --> 00:11:24.120
And<00:11:21.100><c> so</c><00:11:21.259><c> here</c><00:11:21.419><c> the</c><00:11:21.519><c> Lord</c><00:11:21.779><c> Jesus</c><00:11:22.200><c> Christ</c><00:11:22.600><c> similarly</c><00:11:23.080><c> is</c><00:11:23.620><c> drawing</c><00:11:23.840><c> on</c>

every<00:11:24.620><c> response.</c>

00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:28.019
He's<00:11:26.039><c> bringing</c><00:11:26.360><c> brethren</c><00:11:26.799><c> close</c><00:11:27.240><c> to</c><00:11:27.440><c> himself.</c>

00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.620
There's<00:11:28.720><c> prayer</c><00:11:29.039><c> that</c><00:11:29.200><c> he's</c><00:11:29.559><c> engaging</c><00:11:29.799><c> to</c><00:11:30.039><c> the</c><00:11:30.259><c> Father.</c>

00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:45.659

00:17:33.660 --> 00:17:36.759
They<00:17:33.799><c> hadn't</c><00:17:34.000><c> even</c><00:17:34.339><c> supplied</c><00:17:34.759><c> him</c><00:17:35.200><c> with</c><00:17:35.519><c> some</c><00:17:35.819><c> valid</c><00:17:36.119><c> companionship.</c>

John<00:21:04.220><c> 18</c><00:21:04.619><c> says</c><00:21:04.859><c> it</c><00:21:04.940><c> was</c><00:21:05.140><c> a</c><00:21:05.339><c> cohort,</c><00:21:05.940><c> which</c><00:21:05.940><c> is</c><00:21:06.180><c> 600</c><00:21:06.579><c> men.</c>

00:21:07.000 --> 00:21:10.880
Doubtful<00:21:07.400><c> it</c><00:21:07.500><c> was</c><00:21:07.619><c> 600</c><00:21:08.019><c> men,</c><00:21:08.920><c> but</c><00:21:09.079><c> that</c><00:21:09.299><c> was</c><00:21:09.640><c> the</c><00:21:10.460><c> amount</c><00:21:10.779><c> that</c>

00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:14.339
was<00:21:11.200><c> designated</c><00:21:11.720><c> to</c><00:21:12.519><c> the</c><00:21:13.019><c> temple</c><00:21:13.319><c> guard.</c>

00:21:14.819 --> 00:21:17.200
Other<00:21:14.980><c> records</c><00:21:15.359><c> say</c><00:21:15.720><c> a</c><00:21:16.119><c> detachment.</c>

00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:20.980
And<00:21:17.680><c> some</c><00:21:18.099><c> historians</c><00:21:18.460><c> and</c><00:21:18.799><c> commentators</c><00:21:19.200><c> say</c><00:21:19.440><c> probably</c><00:21:20.079><c> about</c><00:21:20.660><c> one</c>

00:21:20.980 --> 00:21:22.500
third<00:21:21.220><c> of</c><00:21:21.420><c> the</c><00:21:21.660><c> force.</c>

00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:24.700
The<00:21:22.900><c> Romans</c><00:21:23.140><c> were</c><00:21:23.299><c> very</c><00:21:23.619><c> nervous</c><00:21:23.980><c> at</c><00:21:24.160><c> this</c><00:21:24.339><c> time</c><00:21:24.539><c> of</c><00:21:24.640><c> year.</c>

00:21:24.779 --> 00:21:25.539
It's<00:21:24.880><c> the</c><00:21:25.099><c> Passover.</c>

00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:28.099
There<00:21:26.039><c> were</c><00:21:26.279><c> a</c><00:21:26.380><c> million</c><00:21:26.599><c> people</c><00:21:26.960><c> coming</c><00:21:27.240><c> in</c><00:21:27.480><c> to</c><00:21:27.579><c> introduce</c><00:21:27.839><c> them.</c>

00:21:28.380 --> 00:21:30.940
They<00:21:28.619><c> had</c><00:21:28.880><c> their</c><00:21:29.500><c> forces</c><00:21:29.900><c> on</c><00:21:30.319><c> full</c><00:21:30.579><c> alert.</c>

00:21:30.940 --> 00:21:33.339
So<00:21:31.160><c> possibly</c><00:21:31.740><c> a</c><00:21:32.259><c> detachment</c><00:21:32.740><c> one</c><00:21:33.099><c> third.</c>

00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:34.859
It's<00:21:33.880><c> still</c><00:21:34.099><c> 200</c><00:21:34.500><c> men.</c>

00:21:35.140 --> 00:21:37.680
So<00:21:35.420><c> here's</c><00:21:35.900><c> Peter</c><00:21:36.180><c> in</c><00:21:36.619><c> his</c><00:21:36.839><c> commitment</c><00:21:37.140><c> to</c><00:21:37.420><c> Christ.</c>

00:21:37.700 --> 00:21:39.240
He<00:21:37.839><c> says,</c><00:21:38.079><c> I'm</c><00:21:38.200><c> going</c><00:21:38.339><c> to</c><00:21:38.500><c> die</c><00:21:38.700><c> with</c><00:21:39.000><c> you.</c>

00:21:39.460 --> 00:21:40.460
He<00:21:39.660><c> whips</c><00:21:39.920><c> out</c><00:21:40.160><c> a</c><00:21:40.299><c> sword.</c>

00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:43.599
He's<00:21:40.920><c> facing</c><00:21:41.500><c> 200</c><00:21:42.559><c> men.</c>

00:21:43.940 --> 00:21:49.180
What<00:21:44.200><c> amazing</c><00:21:45.079><c> level</c><00:21:45.619><c> of</c><00:21:46.799><c> confidence</c><00:21:47.480><c> and</c><00:21:48.180><c> defense</c><00:21:48.660><c> for</c><00:21:48.960><c> the</c>

00:21:49.180 --> 00:21:50.680
man<00:21:49.440><c> he</c><00:21:49.839><c> loved.</c>

00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:54.480
And<00:21:52.539><c> for</c><00:21:52.759><c> Peter,</c><00:21:53.000><c> there</c><00:21:53.119><c> was</c><00:21:53.299><c> a</c><00:21:53.500><c> moment</c><00:21:53.759><c> where</c><00:21:54.079><c> he</c><00:21:54.279><c> was</c>

00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:55.319
totally<00:21:54.839><c> shocked</c>

00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:59.000
because<00:21:56.119><c> he's</c><00:21:56.579><c> seeing</c><00:21:56.839><c> his</c><00:21:57.180><c> Lord</c><00:21:57.420><c> Jesus</c><00:21:57.880><c> Christ,</c>

00:21:59.079 --> 00:22:01.740
manhandled<00:21:59.559><c> and</c><00:21:59.759><c> roughly</c><00:22:00.140><c> treated</c><00:22:00.559><c> by</c><00:22:00.940><c> some</c><00:22:01.240><c> soldiers.</c>

00:22:02.140 --> 00:22:04.920
And<00:22:02.240><c> so</c><00:22:02.339><c> you</c><00:22:02.359><c> can</c><00:22:02.539><c> imagine</c><00:22:02.799><c> him</c><00:22:03.019><c> fumbling</c><00:22:03.359><c> inside</c><00:22:03.859><c> his</c><00:22:04.099><c> garment</c><00:22:04.400><c> for</c><00:22:04.619><c> a</c><00:22:04.720><c> moment</c>

00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:06.299
and<00:22:05.240><c> he</c><00:22:05.420><c> pulls</c><00:22:05.619><c> out</c><00:22:05.920><c> a</c><00:22:06.140><c> sword.</c>

00:22:06.400 --> 00:22:08.900
And<00:22:06.519><c> there</c><00:22:06.640><c> is</c><00:22:06.799><c> the</c><00:22:06.980><c> moment</c><00:22:07.180><c> where</c><00:22:07.359><c> he's</c><00:22:07.680><c> going</c><00:22:07.920><c> to</c><00:22:08.519><c> defend</c>

00:22:08.900 --> 00:22:09.559
his<00:22:09.319><c> Lord.</c>

00:22:09.859 --> 00:22:12.700
And<00:22:09.980><c> he</c><00:22:10.299><c> swung</c><00:22:10.500><c> it</c><00:22:10.740><c> hard</c><00:22:10.960><c> at</c><00:22:11.140><c> the</c><00:22:11.299><c> first</c><00:22:11.599><c> man</c><00:22:11.880><c> who</c><00:22:12.180><c> appeared</c><00:22:12.420><c> on</c>

00:22:12.700 --> 00:22:13.700
the<00:22:12.920><c> scene.</c>

00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:16.980
And<00:22:14.799><c> of</c><00:22:14.960><c> course,</c><00:22:15.299><c> the</c><00:22:15.380><c> Lord</c><00:22:15.559><c> Jesus</c><00:22:15.920><c> Christ</c><00:22:16.259><c> says</c><00:22:16.559><c> to</c><00:22:16.819><c> Peter,</c>

00:22:17.180 --> 00:22:18.200
put<00:22:17.240><c> that</c><00:22:17.579><c> sword</c><00:22:17.799><c> away.</c>

00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:20.599
It's<00:22:18.779><c> not</c><00:22:18.980><c> appropriate</c><00:22:19.480><c> behavior.</c>

00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.460
Well,<00:22:22.259><c> both</c><00:22:22.740><c> Matthew,</c><00:22:23.480><c> Mark</c><00:22:23.660><c> and</c><00:22:23.839><c> Luke</c><00:22:24.200><c> don't</c><00:22:24.759><c> name</c><00:22:25.240><c> the</c><00:22:25.819><c> disciple</c><00:22:26.220><c> that</c>

00:22:26.460 --> 00:22:27.059
had<00:22:26.559><c> the</c><00:22:26.839><c> sword.</c>

00:22:27.059 --> 00:22:30.640
Obviously<00:22:27.539><c> here,</c><00:22:28.380><c> John</c><00:22:28.640><c> Mark</c><00:22:28.960><c> writing</c><00:22:29.420><c> under</c><00:22:30.039><c> the</c><00:22:30.220><c> auspices</c>

00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:31.299
of<00:22:30.920><c> Peter</c>

00:22:31.299 --> 00:22:34.019
doesn't<00:22:32.220><c> place</c><00:22:32.519><c> his</c><00:22:32.819><c> name</c><00:22:33.099><c> there</c><00:22:33.460><c> as</c><00:22:33.759><c> well</c>

00:22:34.019 --> 00:22:38.059
because<00:22:34.259><c> he</c><00:22:34.440><c> would</c><00:22:34.559><c> have</c><00:22:34.859><c> obviously</c><00:22:35.279><c> personally</c><00:22:35.660><c> felt</c><00:22:36.079><c> awkward</c><00:22:36.480><c> about</c><00:22:36.920><c> that.</c>

00:22:38.819 --> 00:22:41.680
Matthew<00:22:39.000><c> generously</c><00:22:39.740><c> expands</c><00:22:40.380><c> the</c><00:22:40.619><c> Lord's</c><00:22:41.019><c> rebuke</c><00:22:41.240><c> to</c><00:22:41.460><c> all</c>

00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:43.099
the<00:22:41.940><c> disciples.</c>

00:22:43.220 --> 00:22:46.799
And<00:22:43.279><c> in</c><00:22:43.359><c> Matthew</c><00:22:43.619><c> the</c><00:22:43.759><c> record</c><00:22:43.980><c> says,</c><00:22:44.759><c> and</c><00:22:44.759><c> all</c><00:22:45.160><c> that</c><00:22:45.440><c> take</c><00:22:45.640><c> the</c><00:22:45.960><c> sword.</c>

00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:50.440
Mark,<00:22:47.400><c> as</c><00:22:47.579><c> we've</c><00:22:47.839><c> said,</c><00:22:48.220><c> just</c><00:22:48.380><c> bypasses</c><00:22:49.119><c> it</c><00:22:49.299><c> almost</c><00:22:49.619><c> as</c><00:22:49.819><c> an</c><00:22:50.039><c> embarrassment.</c>

00:22:50.539 --> 00:22:52.619
Just<00:22:50.859><c> with</c><00:22:51.099><c> the</c><00:22:51.319><c> phrase</c><00:22:51.539><c> and</c><00:22:51.880><c> one</c><00:22:52.059><c> of</c><00:22:52.220><c> them</c>

00:22:52.619 --> 00:22:55.500
then<00:22:52.960><c> says</c><00:22:53.160><c> nothing</c><00:22:53.500><c> about</c><00:22:53.779><c> the</c><00:22:53.960><c> Lord</c><00:22:54.119><c> Jesus</c><00:22:54.500><c> Christ's</c><00:22:55.079><c> reprimand.</c>

00:22:55.500 --> 00:22:59.640
Luke,<00:22:56.339><c> of</c><00:22:56.519><c> course,</c><00:22:57.140><c> being</c><00:22:57.140><c> a</c><00:22:57.279><c> physician,</c><00:22:58.180><c> focuses</c><00:22:58.240><c> on</c><00:22:58.539><c> the</c><00:22:58.779><c> healing</c><00:22:59.160><c> of</c>

00:22:59.640 --> 00:23:01.200
the<00:22:59.880><c> injured</c><00:23:00.240><c> man.</c>

00:23:01.259 --> 00:23:04.700
And<00:23:01.400><c> it's</c><00:23:01.539><c> only</c><00:23:01.839><c> the</c><00:23:02.039><c> apostle</c><00:23:02.400><c> John</c><00:23:03.079><c> who</c><00:23:03.599><c> mentions</c><00:23:04.059><c> the</c><00:23:04.359><c> name.</c>

00:23:04.980 --> 00:23:09.140
And<00:23:05.140><c> I</c><00:23:05.299><c> think</c><00:23:05.539><c> because</c><00:23:06.900><c> both</c><00:23:07.420><c> John</c><00:23:07.599><c> and</c><00:23:07.859><c> Peter</c><00:23:08.000><c> were</c><00:23:08.160><c> very</c><00:23:08.460><c> tied</c><00:23:08.640><c> together</c><00:23:09.000><c> in</c>

00:23:09.140 --> 00:23:09.759
the<00:23:09.259><c> book</c><00:23:09.400><c> of</c><00:23:09.619><c> Acts.</c>

00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:14.339
And<00:23:09.880><c> I</c><00:23:09.940><c> think</c><00:23:10.819><c> John</c><00:23:11.279><c> had</c><00:23:11.539><c> a</c><00:23:11.759><c> respect</c><00:23:12.460><c> for</c><00:23:13.000><c> Peter's</c><00:23:13.799><c> courage</c><00:23:14.119><c> on</c>

00:23:14.339 --> 00:23:15.400
this<00:23:14.480><c> particular</c><00:23:14.940><c> occasion.</c>

00:23:15.859 --> 00:23:18.240
There<00:23:16.019><c> was</c><00:23:16.180><c> the</c><00:23:16.500><c> admiration</c><00:23:17.019><c> of</c><00:23:17.200><c> a</c><00:23:17.440><c> brave</c><00:23:17.779><c> man</c>

00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:21.680

00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:46.039
Because<00:23:42.700><c> if</c><00:23:43.079><c> Malchus</c><00:23:43.380><c> was</c><00:23:43.660><c> facing</c><00:23:44.019><c> him,</c><00:23:44.259><c> of</c><00:23:44.480><c> course,</c><00:23:45.000><c> and</c><00:23:45.559><c> Peter</c><00:23:45.779><c> was</c>

00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:33.359
You<00:26:30.480><c> can</c><00:26:30.759><c> see</c><00:26:30.980><c> the</c><00:26:31.240><c> level</c><00:26:31.559><c> of</c><00:26:31.799><c> the</c><00:26:32.140><c> passion</c><00:26:32.500><c> that</c><00:26:32.779><c> Peter</c><00:26:32.980><c> has</c>

00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:34.960
for<00:26:33.619><c> his</c><00:26:33.900><c> master.</c>

00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:39.900
Peter<00:26:36.720><c> was</c><00:26:37.200><c> prepared</c><00:26:37.599><c> to</c><00:26:37.980><c> die</c><00:26:38.359><c> in</c><00:26:38.640><c> a</c><00:26:38.859><c> pool</c><00:26:39.039><c> of</c><00:26:39.380><c> blood</c><00:26:39.579><c> at</c><00:26:39.779><c> the</c>

00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:43.900
When<00:26:41.440><c> he</c><00:26:41.640><c> saw</c><00:26:41.799><c> 200</c><00:26:42.339><c> men,</c><00:26:42.599><c> he</c><00:26:42.680><c> was</c><00:26:42.839><c> just</c><00:26:42.980><c> going</c><00:26:43.099><c> to</c><00:26:43.259><c> take</c><00:26:43.400><c> them</c><00:26:43.640><c> on.</c>

00:26:44.099 --> 00:26:46.299
And<00:26:44.220><c> if</c><00:26:44.299><c> that</c><00:26:44.559><c> meant</c><00:26:44.839><c> death</c><00:26:45.099><c> for</c><00:26:45.319><c> him,</c><00:26:45.460><c> he</c><00:26:45.559><c> was</c><00:26:45.799><c> prepared</c><00:26:46.000><c> to</c>

00:26:48.940 --> 00:26:51.700
He's<00:26:49.279><c> a</c><00:26:49.420><c> fisherman.</c><00:26:49.799><c> He</c><00:26:49.819><c> had</c><00:26:50.000><c> no</c><00:26:50.240><c> military</c><00:26:50.680><c> training.</c>

00:26:52.900 --> 00:26:56.440
And<00:26:53.059><c> fortunately,</c><00:26:53.460><c> Christ</c><00:26:53.920><c> intervened</c><00:26:55.119><c> and</c><00:26:55.460><c> gave</c><00:26:55.799><c> advice</c><00:26:56.240><c> to</c>

00:26:56.440 --> 00:26:57.759
Peter<00:26:56.619><c> to</c><00:26:56.779><c> put</c><00:26:56.980><c> away</c><00:26:57.220><c> the</c><00:26:57.500><c> sword</c>

00:26:57.759 --> 00:26:59.960
and<00:26:58.039><c> immediately</c><00:26:58.579><c> Peter</c><00:26:59.000><c> complied.</c>

00:27:00.099 --> 00:27:02.880
Lord<00:27:00.279><c> Jesus</c><00:27:00.599><c> Christ</c><00:27:00.940><c> says,</c><00:27:01.220><c> I've</c><00:27:01.319><c> got</c><00:27:01.460><c> 12</c><00:27:01.839><c> legions</c><00:27:02.279><c> of</c><00:27:02.579><c> angels</c>

00:27:02.880 --> 00:27:05.400

00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:13.539
When<00:27:11.119><c> there's</c><00:27:11.400><c> a</c><00:27:11.660><c> confrontation,</c><00:27:12.819><c> we're</c><00:27:13.099><c> trying</c><00:27:13.240><c> to</c><00:27:13.380><c> think</c>

Something's<00:27:16.680><c> gone</c><00:27:17.000><c> very</c><00:27:17.460><c> wrong.</c>

00:27:18.299 --> 00:27:20.480
And<00:27:18.480><c> all</c><00:27:18.599><c> of</c><00:27:18.779><c> a</c><00:27:18.839><c> sudden,</c><00:27:19.019><c> we</c><00:27:19.200><c> find</c><00:27:19.480><c> ourselves</c><00:27:19.920><c> with</c><00:27:20.119><c> a</c><00:27:20.319><c> sword</c>

What<00:27:29.579><c> did</c><00:27:29.779><c> Peter</c><00:27:30.039><c> do</c><00:27:30.259><c> with</c><00:27:30.420><c> that</c><00:27:30.640><c> particular</c><00:27:31.079><c> knife?</c>

He<00:28:03.819><c> drew</c><00:28:04.059><c> a</c><00:28:04.299><c> sword</c><00:28:04.460><c> for</c><00:28:04.660><c> the</c><00:28:04.819><c> Lord.</c>

00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:07.640
But<00:28:05.200><c> the</c><00:28:05.339><c> Lord</c><00:28:05.519><c> said,</c><00:28:05.900><c> that's</c><00:28:05.980><c> not</c><00:28:06.200><c> what</c><00:28:06.339><c> I</c><00:28:06.579><c> want,</c><00:28:06.779><c> Peter.</c>

00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:09.559

00:28:10.819 --> 00:28:13.799
Truly<00:28:11.259><c> Christ</c><00:28:11.700><c> was</c><00:28:12.319><c> going</c><00:28:12.500><c> to</c><00:28:12.680><c> proclaim</c><00:28:12.940><c> himself</c><00:28:13.339><c> as</c><00:28:13.640><c> king</c>

00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:15.259

00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:17.380
And<00:28:15.440><c> here</c><00:28:15.599><c> he</c><00:28:15.680><c> is</c><00:28:15.900><c> carried</c><00:28:16.160><c> away</c><00:28:16.480><c> by</c><00:28:16.859><c> soldiers.</c>

00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:25.400
Again,<00:28:22.059><c> the</c><00:28:22.299><c> Sanhedrin</c><00:28:22.960><c> was</c><00:28:23.220><c> out</c><00:28:23.440><c> as</c><00:28:23.579><c> Matthew</c><00:28:23.940><c> 26,</c><00:28:24.599><c> 59</c><00:28:25.119><c> says,</c>

00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:33.859

And<00:28:36.980><c> if</c><00:28:37.119><c> they</c><00:28:37.400><c> could</c><00:28:37.759><c> grab</c><00:28:38.079><c> a</c><00:28:38.420><c> destabilized</c><00:28:39.420><c> disciple</c><00:28:40.000><c> like</c><00:28:40.380><c> Peter,</c>

00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:49.279
He<00:28:47.140><c> was</c><00:28:47.339><c> the</c><00:28:47.480><c> one</c><00:28:47.599><c> who</c><00:28:47.759><c> said,</c><00:28:48.200><c> thou</c><00:28:48.200><c> art</c><00:28:48.359><c> the</c><00:28:48.579><c> Christ,</c><00:28:48.920><c> the</c><00:28:49.079><c> son</c>

But<00:28:53.019><c> Peter</c><00:28:53.220><c> just</c><00:28:53.579><c> didn't</c><00:28:54.799><c> betray</c><00:28:55.319><c> the</c><00:28:55.619><c> Lord</c><00:28:55.940><c> as</c><00:28:56.380><c> Judas</c><00:28:56.720><c> did.</c>

00:28:56.940 --> 00:29:01.160

and<00:30:12.140><c> she</c><00:30:12.400><c> identifies</c><00:30:13.079><c> him</c><00:30:13.940><c> with</c><00:30:14.500><c> John,</c>

00:30:17.019 --> 00:30:21.519
because<00:30:17.500><c> John</c><00:30:17.980><c> was</c><00:30:18.279><c> known</c><00:30:18.539><c> to</c><00:30:18.839><c> be</c><00:30:19.140><c> a</c><00:30:19.380><c> disciple</c><00:30:19.900><c> of</c><00:30:20.339><c> Jesus.</c>

00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:25.279
And<00:30:22.400><c> so,</c><00:30:22.859><c> very</c><00:30:22.980><c> interestingly,</c><00:30:23.920><c> each</c><00:30:24.000><c> record,</c>

00:30:25.539 --> 00:30:28.559
John,<00:30:25.980><c> of</c><00:30:26.119><c> course,</c><00:30:26.519><c> makes</c><00:30:26.759><c> entrance</c><00:30:27.140><c> into</c><00:30:28.079><c> the</c><00:30:28.279><c> palace</c>

00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:32.200
because<00:30:28.920><c> he</c><00:30:29.160><c> was</c><00:30:29.480><c> known</c><00:30:30.160><c> by</c><00:30:30.940><c> the</c><00:30:31.200><c> maid,</c><00:30:31.420><c> and</c><00:30:31.579><c> the</c><00:30:31.720><c> maid</c><00:30:31.880><c> lets</c>

00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:32.779
John<00:30:32.519><c> in.</c>

00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:34.519
Look<00:30:33.140><c> at</c><00:30:33.259><c> the</c><00:30:33.460><c> record.</c>

00:30:35.140 --> 00:30:38.440
A<00:30:35.259><c> damsel</c><00:30:35.640><c> came</c><00:30:35.880><c> unto</c><00:30:36.099><c> him</c><00:30:36.279><c> saying,</c><00:30:37.500><c> Thou</c><00:30:37.819><c> also.</c>

00:30:38.940 --> 00:30:41.160
So<00:30:39.420><c> it's</c><00:30:39.839><c> connected</c><00:30:40.079><c> to</c><00:30:40.299><c> John.</c>

00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:44.359
When<00:30:42.319><c> she</c><00:30:42.500><c> saw</c><00:30:42.700><c> Peter</c><00:30:43.019><c> warming</c><00:30:43.279><c> himself,</c><00:30:43.500><c> she</c><00:30:43.660><c> looked</c><00:30:43.839><c> and</c><00:30:43.980><c> said,</c>

00:30:44.819 --> 00:30:47.779
And<00:30:44.980><c> you</c><00:30:45.140><c> also</c><00:30:45.920><c> were</c><00:30:46.539><c> with</c><00:30:46.740><c> Jesus.</c>

00:30:48.059 --> 00:30:50.339
A<00:30:48.299><c> maid</c><00:30:48.500><c> beheld</c><00:30:48.900><c> him,</c><00:30:49.400><c> and</c><00:30:49.539><c> earnestly</c><00:30:49.819><c> said</c><00:30:50.039><c> unto</c><00:30:50.240><c> him,</c>

00:30:50.339 --> 00:30:54.220
This<00:30:50.519><c> man</c><00:30:50.839><c> was</c><00:30:51.339><c> also</c><00:30:52.259><c> John</c><00:30:53.000><c> and</c><00:30:53.420><c> Peter.</c>

00:30:55.700 --> 00:31:00.119
Art<00:30:55.700><c> thou</c><00:30:56.119><c> also,</c><00:30:57.579><c> art</c><00:30:57.819><c> not</c><00:30:58.039><c> thou</c><00:30:58.299><c> also</c><00:30:58.779><c> one</c><00:30:59.000><c> of</c><00:30:59.119><c> this</c><00:30:59.299><c> man's</c><00:30:59.720><c> disciples?</c>

00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:02.240
So<00:31:00.460><c> John's</c><00:31:00.759><c> gone</c><00:31:01.000><c> into</c><00:31:01.220><c> the</c><00:31:01.400><c> palace.</c>

00:31:02.500 --> 00:31:05.759
He's<00:31:03.099><c> openly</c><00:31:03.480><c> identified</c><00:31:04.039><c> himself</c><00:31:04.400><c> as</c><00:31:04.619><c> a</c><00:31:04.720><c> disciple</c><00:31:05.039><c> of</c><00:31:05.180><c> Jesus</c><00:31:05.539><c> Christ,</c>

00:31:05.900 --> 00:31:07.799
and<00:31:06.140><c> the</c><00:31:06.319><c> maid</c><00:31:06.460><c> is</c><00:31:06.579><c> saying,</c><00:31:06.859><c> Wait</c><00:31:07.059><c> a</c><00:31:07.160><c> minute,</c><00:31:07.380><c> aren't</c><00:31:07.619><c> you</c>

00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:08.259
with<00:31:08.039><c> John?</c>

00:31:08.359 --> 00:31:11.640
Aren't<00:31:08.599><c> you</c><00:31:08.980><c> also</c><00:31:09.619><c> a</c><00:31:10.579><c> disciple?</c>

00:31:13.220 --> 00:31:19.059
So<00:31:13.700><c> John</c><00:31:14.039><c> is</c><00:31:14.440><c> clearly</c><00:31:15.019><c> connected</c><00:31:15.740><c> as</c><00:31:17.119><c> a</c><00:31:17.359><c> disciple</c><00:31:17.819><c> of</c><00:31:18.119><c> Jesus</c><00:31:18.579><c> Christ.</c>

00:31:19.059 --> 00:31:20.759
And<00:31:19.240><c> here</c><00:31:19.480><c> is</c><00:31:19.680><c> the</c><00:31:19.819><c> record</c><00:31:20.180><c> here.</c>

00:31:21.180 --> 00:31:24.319
Art<00:31:21.180><c> not</c><00:31:21.500><c> thou</c><00:31:21.700><c> also</c><00:31:22.279><c> one</c><00:31:22.500><c> of</c><00:31:22.640><c> this</c><00:31:22.799><c> man's</c><00:31:23.319><c> disciples?</c>

00:31:24.440 --> 00:31:25.819
And<00:31:24.680><c> this</c><00:31:24.799><c> is</c><00:31:24.940><c> in</c><00:31:25.099><c> the</c><00:31:25.259><c> context.</c>

00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:26.880
You<00:31:26.180><c> see</c><00:31:26.279><c> this</c><00:31:26.440><c> one</c><00:31:26.619><c> here?</c>

00:31:27.339 --> 00:31:31.500
That<00:31:27.640><c> disciple</c><00:31:28.380><c> was</c><00:31:28.779><c> known</c><00:31:29.180><c> unto</c><00:31:29.420><c> high</c><00:31:29.799><c> priest</c><00:31:30.259><c> and</c><00:31:30.920><c> went</c><00:31:31.220><c> in</c>

00:31:31.500 --> 00:31:32.880
with<00:31:31.779><c> Jesus.</c>

00:31:33.160 --> 00:31:36.980
So<00:31:33.359><c> here,</c><00:31:33.700><c> John</c><00:31:34.000><c> goes</c><00:31:34.420><c> in,</c><00:31:35.059><c> then</c><00:31:35.339><c> went</c><00:31:35.539><c> out</c><00:31:35.799><c> that</c><00:31:36.000><c> other</c><00:31:36.380><c> disciple</c>

00:31:36.980 --> 00:31:38.359
that<00:31:37.140><c> was</c><00:31:37.319><c> known</c><00:31:37.519><c> to</c><00:31:37.700><c> the</c><00:31:37.839><c> high</c><00:31:38.019><c> priest,</c>

00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:42.480
and<00:31:38.759><c> spoke</c><00:31:38.980><c> unto</c><00:31:39.200><c> her</c><00:31:39.319><c> that</c><00:31:39.559><c> kept</c><00:31:40.359><c> the</c><00:31:40.700><c> door</c><00:31:40.900><c> and</c><00:31:41.099><c> brought</c><00:31:41.319><c> in</c><00:31:41.759><c> Peter.</c>

00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:47.240
So<00:31:43.240><c> Peter</c><00:31:43.680><c> is</c><00:31:44.200><c> connecting</c><00:31:44.559><c> himself,</c><00:31:46.059><c> well,</c><00:31:46.460><c> disconnecting</c><00:31:46.880><c> himself,</c>

00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:50.460
not<00:31:47.440><c> only</c><00:31:47.680><c> to</c><00:31:47.819><c> the</c><00:31:47.880><c> Lord</c><00:31:47.980><c> Jesus</c><00:31:48.319><c> Christ,</c><00:31:48.700><c> but</c><00:31:48.859><c> also</c><00:31:49.279><c> to</c><00:31:49.619><c> John.</c>

00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:53.519
So<00:31:51.359><c> for</c><00:31:51.539><c> a</c><00:31:51.660><c> moment</c><00:31:51.900><c> there</c><00:31:52.180><c> when</c><00:31:52.420><c> Peter</c><00:31:52.700><c> says,</c><00:31:53.140><c> No,</c><00:31:53.220><c> I</c><00:31:53.279><c> don't</c>

00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:53.960
know<00:31:53.680><c> the</c><00:31:53.819><c> man,</c>

00:31:53.980 --> 00:31:57.259
he's<00:31:54.359><c> distancing</c><00:31:54.700><c> himself</c><00:31:55.079><c> from</c><00:31:55.400><c> Christ</c><00:31:55.819><c> and</c><00:31:56.259><c> also</c><00:31:56.759><c> from</c><00:31:57.039><c> the</c>

00:31:57.259 --> 00:31:58.099
Apostle<00:31:57.680><c> John.</c>

00:31:58.599 --> 00:32:01.599
Later<00:31:58.839><c> in</c><00:31:59.000><c> a</c><00:31:59.140><c> very</c><00:31:59.420><c> wonderful</c><00:31:59.720><c> way,</c><00:32:00.160><c> it's</c><00:32:00.299><c> these</c><00:32:00.579><c> two</c><00:32:00.880><c> men</c><00:32:01.140><c> together</c>

00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:04.839
that<00:32:01.880><c> run</c><00:32:02.039><c> to</c><00:32:02.279><c> the</c><00:32:02.500><c> tomb</c><00:32:02.839><c> and</c><00:32:03.400><c> that</c><00:32:03.660><c> walk</c><00:32:03.799><c> to</c><00:32:04.019><c> the</c><00:32:04.180><c> temple</c><00:32:04.420><c> together</c>

00:32:04.839 --> 00:32:07.420
to<00:32:05.599><c> promote</c><00:32:06.019><c> the</c><00:32:06.279><c> resurrected</c><00:32:06.720><c> Christ.</c>

00:32:07.859 --> 00:32:11.920
But<00:32:08.140><c> all</c><00:32:08.500><c> four</c><00:32:08.839><c> writers</c><00:32:09.779><c> document</c><00:32:10.720><c> Peter's</c><00:32:11.640><c> denial</c>

00:32:11.920 --> 00:32:14.660
because<00:32:12.200><c> that</c><00:32:12.380><c> was</c><00:32:12.539><c> going</c><00:32:12.660><c> to</c><00:32:12.759><c> be</c><00:32:13.059><c> important</c><00:32:13.440><c> for</c><00:32:13.880><c> the</c><00:32:14.019><c> early</c><00:32:14.279><c> ecclesiast</c>

00:32:14.660 --> 00:32:16.680
that<00:32:14.700><c> would</c><00:32:15.000><c> face</c><00:32:15.240><c> similar</c><00:32:15.700><c> pressure.</c>

00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:22.299
So<00:32:19.079><c> Peter,</c><00:32:19.619><c> of</c><00:32:19.859><c> course,</c><00:32:20.259><c> had</c><00:32:20.480><c> a</c><00:32:20.720><c> zeal</c><00:32:20.900><c> for</c><00:32:21.160><c> the</c><00:32:21.160><c> Lord</c><00:32:21.420><c> Jesus</c><00:32:21.859><c> Christ,</c>

00:32:22.299 --> 00:32:24.779
but<00:32:22.500><c> for</c><00:32:22.700><c> a</c><00:32:22.859><c> moment</c><00:32:23.039><c> there</c><00:32:23.240><c> had</c><00:32:23.460><c> lost</c><00:32:23.740><c> direction.</c>

00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:27.880
And<00:32:25.519><c> we</c><00:32:25.619><c> can</c><00:32:25.779><c> imagine</c><00:32:26.259><c> internally,</c><00:32:27.000><c> Peter</c><00:32:27.240><c> would</c><00:32:27.420><c> be</c><00:32:27.640><c> thinking,</c>

00:32:28.259 --> 00:32:31.220
I'm<00:32:28.359><c> not</c><00:32:28.740><c> worthy</c><00:32:29.220><c> to</c><00:32:29.480><c> be</c><00:32:29.640><c> this</c><00:32:29.859><c> man's</c><00:32:30.220><c> disciple.</c>

00:32:31.339 --> 00:32:34.740
And<00:32:31.460><c> there'll</c><00:32:31.619><c> be</c><00:32:31.799><c> waves</c><00:32:32.140><c> of</c><00:32:32.380><c> insecurity</c><00:32:33.119><c> that</c><00:32:33.359><c> were</c><00:32:33.619><c> sweeping</c><00:32:33.920><c> through</c><00:32:34.359><c> Peter.</c>

00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:38.079
He's<00:32:35.319><c> trying</c><00:32:35.519><c> to</c><00:32:35.720><c> warm</c><00:32:35.900><c> himself</c><00:32:36.359><c> here</c><00:32:36.640><c> by</c><00:32:36.900><c> the</c><00:32:37.160><c> fire.</c>

00:32:38.960 --> 00:32:41.279
It's<00:32:39.460><c> a</c><00:32:39.599><c> reactive</c><00:32:40.079><c> position.</c>

00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:46.000
And<00:32:42.940><c> sometimes</c><00:32:43.279><c> when</c><00:32:43.559><c> we</c><00:32:44.140><c> find</c><00:32:44.500><c> ourselves</c><00:32:44.920><c> a</c><00:32:45.059><c> little</c><00:32:45.220><c> bit</c><00:32:45.480><c> insecure,</c>

00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:47.599
we<00:32:46.200><c> head</c><00:32:46.420><c> for</c><00:32:46.619><c> the</c><00:32:46.839><c> darkness,</c><00:32:47.440><c> don't</c><00:32:47.500><c> we?</c>

00:32:47.619 --> 00:32:49.240
We<00:32:47.779><c> like</c><00:32:48.000><c> the</c><00:32:48.279><c> shadows.</c>

00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:51.240
We<00:32:49.619><c> can't</c><00:32:50.440><c> face</c><00:32:50.779><c> the</c><00:32:51.039><c> light.</c>

00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:53.579
We<00:32:51.420><c> can't</c><00:32:51.819><c> connect</c><00:32:52.079><c> ourselves</c><00:32:52.579><c> to</c><00:32:52.799><c> our</c><00:32:53.000><c> brothers</c><00:32:53.240><c> and</c><00:32:53.440><c> sisters.</c>

00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:57.640
So<00:32:53.779><c> we</c><00:32:53.920><c> sort</c><00:32:54.019><c> of</c><00:32:54.559><c> merge</c><00:32:54.920><c> into</c><00:32:55.779><c> the</c><00:32:55.940><c> distance</c><00:32:56.339><c> a</c><00:32:56.519><c> little</c><00:32:56.720><c> bit.</c>

00:32:58.700 --> 00:33:04.940

00:33:10.299 --> 00:33:11.640
He's<00:33:10.660><c> vacillating</c><00:33:11.180><c> for</c><00:33:11.380><c> the</c><00:33:11.519><c> moment.</c>

00:33:11.660 --> 00:33:13.319

00:33:17.619 --> 00:33:18.759
He<00:33:17.779><c> stood</c><00:33:18.079><c> with</c><00:33:18.359><c> them.</c>

00:33:19.140 --> 00:33:21.640

00:33:21.920 --> 00:33:23.619
Peter<00:33:22.180><c> stood</c><00:33:22.460><c> with</c><00:33:22.819><c> them.</c>

00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:26.160
There<00:33:23.799><c> is</c><00:33:23.980><c> a</c><00:33:24.160><c> moment</c><00:33:24.420><c> there</c><00:33:24.779><c> where</c><00:33:25.039><c> Peter</c><00:33:25.319><c> is</c><00:33:25.500><c> on</c><00:33:25.720><c> the</c><00:33:25.920><c> hinge</c>

00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:32.259

00:33:33.859 --> 00:33:37.420

00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:12.300
Jesus<00:34:10.800><c> is</c><00:34:11.179><c> answering</c><00:34:11.360><c> in</c><00:34:11.579><c> the</c><00:34:11.800><c> affirmative</c>

00:34:26.539 --> 00:34:28.739
And<00:34:26.739><c> again,</c><00:34:26.960><c> he</c><00:34:27.079><c> moves</c><00:34:27.320><c> away</c><00:34:27.739><c> from</c><00:34:27.920><c> the</c><00:34:28.199><c> firelight</c>

00:34:28.739 --> 00:34:32.340

00:34:34.019 --> 00:34:36.900
So<00:34:34.219><c> it</c><00:34:34.239><c> seems</c><00:34:34.519><c> as</c><00:34:34.699><c> though</c><00:34:34.860><c> Peter</c><00:34:35.119><c> now</c><00:34:35.659><c> moves</c><00:34:36.139><c> further</c><00:34:36.599><c> away</c>

00:34:39.099 --> 00:34:40.539
And<00:34:39.519><c> then</c><00:34:39.739><c> he</c><00:34:39.880><c> heard</c><00:34:40.099><c> a</c><00:34:40.320><c> noise</c>

00:34:40.539 --> 00:34:43.059
that<00:34:40.699><c> just</c><00:34:40.920><c> made</c><00:34:41.099><c> him</c><00:34:41.400><c> shiver</c><00:34:41.619><c> momentarily.</c>

00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:46.420
It<00:34:45.079><c> was</c><00:34:45.280><c> the</c><00:34:45.460><c> sound</c><00:34:45.599><c> of</c><00:34:45.780><c> a</c><00:34:46.019><c> trumpet</c>

00:34:50.179 --> 00:34:51.940
The<00:34:50.480><c> Diaglot</c><00:34:50.880><c> makes</c><00:34:51.239><c> a</c><00:34:51.500><c> footnote</c>

00:34:55.860 --> 00:35:00.139

It's<00:35:09.739><c> like</c><00:35:09.860><c> an</c><00:35:10.119><c> alarm</c><00:35:10.460><c> clock</c>

00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:13.199
that<00:35:11.219><c> sort</c><00:35:11.360><c> of</c><00:35:11.579><c> vaguely</c><00:35:12.000><c> pricked</c><00:35:12.260><c> the</c><00:35:12.440><c> conscience</c><00:35:12.739><c> of</c><00:35:13.059><c> Peter.</c>

00:35:13.260 --> 00:35:15.780
He<00:35:13.340><c> knew</c><00:35:13.539><c> something</c><00:35:13.860><c> was</c><00:35:14.059><c> not</c><00:35:14.300><c> quite</c><00:35:14.619><c> right.</c>

00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:19.559
Then<00:35:16.699><c> verse</c><00:35:17.059><c> 69,</c><00:35:19.079><c> it</c><00:35:19.280><c> says,</c>

00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:24.320
another<00:35:20.039><c> maid</c><00:35:20.659><c> identifies</c><00:35:22.139><c> him</c><00:35:22.420><c> as</c><00:35:22.579><c> a</c><00:35:22.780><c> possible</c><00:35:23.260><c> witness.</c>

00:35:24.900 --> 00:35:25.860
And<00:35:25.079><c> isn't</c><00:35:25.239><c> this</c><00:35:25.460><c> amazing?</c>

00:35:25.960 --> 00:35:27.900
Here's<00:35:26.360><c> Peter</c><00:35:26.599><c> who</c><00:35:26.800><c> will</c><00:35:26.960><c> whip</c><00:35:27.119><c> out</c><00:35:27.380><c> a</c><00:35:27.579><c> sword</c>

00:35:27.900 --> 00:35:34.039
and<00:35:28.480><c> face</c><00:35:28.880><c> off</c><00:35:29.480><c> 200</c><00:35:30.159><c> Roman</c><00:35:30.820><c> soldiers</c><00:35:31.639><c> with</c><00:35:32.739><c> a</c><00:35:32.880><c> little</c><00:35:33.139><c> dagger.</c>

00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:35.739
He's<00:35:35.039><c> got</c><00:35:35.139><c> that</c><00:35:35.420><c> courage,</c>

00:35:35.940 --> 00:35:37.360
but<00:35:36.019><c> yet</c><00:35:36.320><c> when</c><00:35:36.500><c> a</c><00:35:36.699><c> damsel</c><00:35:37.019><c> says,</c>

00:35:37.699 --> 00:35:38.900
aren't<00:35:37.699><c> you</c><00:35:37.860><c> a</c><00:35:37.960><c> disciple</c><00:35:38.340><c> of</c><00:35:38.519><c> Jesus?</c>

00:35:38.940 --> 00:35:40.579
He<00:35:39.119><c> just</c><00:35:39.360><c> falls</c><00:35:39.579><c> apart.</c>

00:35:41.280 --> 00:35:42.440
He<00:35:41.460><c> wasn't</c><00:35:41.760><c> prepared</c><00:35:42.139><c> for</c><00:35:42.340><c> that.</c>

00:35:42.539 --> 00:35:43.639
It<00:35:42.639><c> caught</c><00:35:42.760><c> him</c><00:35:42.940><c> offside.</c>

00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:46.219
He<00:35:44.300><c> was</c><00:35:44.500><c> prepared</c><00:35:44.880><c> for</c><00:35:45.099><c> a</c><00:35:45.300><c> face</c><00:35:45.480><c>-on</c><00:35:45.760><c>-face,</c>

00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:48.260
eyeball<00:35:46.760><c>-to</c><00:35:46.940><c>-eyeball</c><00:35:47.500><c> confrontation</c>

00:35:48.260 --> 00:35:50.820
and<00:35:48.679><c> if</c><00:35:48.820><c> he</c><00:35:48.880><c> had</c><00:35:48.980><c> to</c><00:35:49.139><c> give</c><00:35:49.239><c> up</c><00:35:49.400><c> his</c><00:35:49.619><c> life,</c><00:35:49.840><c> he'd</c><00:35:50.000><c> do</c><00:35:50.179><c> it.</c>

00:35:50.940 --> 00:35:53.219
But<00:35:51.019><c> here</c><00:35:51.440><c> comes</c><00:35:51.719><c> a</c><00:35:52.400><c> sidewinder</c>

00:35:53.219 --> 00:35:54.800
which<00:35:53.579><c> he</c><00:35:53.760><c> was</c><00:35:53.940><c> not</c><00:35:54.179><c> prepared</c><00:35:54.519><c> for.</c>

00:35:54.820 --> 00:35:57.840
Comes<00:35:55.079><c> in</c><00:35:55.360><c> from</c><00:35:55.760><c> a</c><00:35:56.119><c> statement</c><00:35:56.360><c> from</c><00:35:56.639><c> a</c><00:35:56.820><c> maid</c><00:35:57.059><c> servant.</c>

00:35:57.960 --> 00:35:59.760
Weren't<00:35:58.340><c> you</c><00:35:58.500><c> with</c><00:35:58.699><c> Jesus?</c>

00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:01.340
It's<00:36:00.679><c> a</c><00:36:00.820><c> menial</c><00:36:01.079><c> maid.</c>

00:36:01.340 --> 00:36:04.519
He<00:36:01.440><c> wasn't</c><00:36:01.780><c> prepared</c><00:36:02.300><c> for</c><00:36:02.639><c> that</c><00:36:02.840><c> particular</c><00:36:03.320><c> challenge.</c>

00:36:05.460 --> 00:36:08.079
And<00:36:05.619><c> sometimes</c><00:36:05.960><c> we're</c><00:36:06.260><c> vulnerable</c><00:36:06.719><c> like</c><00:36:07.000><c> that,</c><00:36:07.239><c> aren't</c><00:36:07.360><c> we?</c>

00:36:08.139 --> 00:36:10.139
We're<00:36:08.539><c> prepared</c><00:36:08.780><c> to</c><00:36:08.980><c> stand</c><00:36:09.179><c> up</c><00:36:09.380><c> on</c><00:36:09.559><c> a</c><00:36:09.719><c> platform</c>

00:36:10.139 --> 00:36:12.260
and<00:36:10.840><c> lecture</c><00:36:11.320><c> as</c><00:36:11.539><c> to</c><00:36:11.739><c> our</c><00:36:11.940><c> beliefs,</c>

00:36:12.380 --> 00:36:13.519
but<00:36:12.539><c> someone</c><00:36:13.039><c> asks</c><00:36:13.360><c> us,</c>

00:36:13.539 --> 00:36:14.619
well,<00:36:13.619><c> what</c><00:36:13.739><c> did</c><00:36:13.860><c> you</c><00:36:14.000><c> do</c><00:36:14.079><c> on</c><00:36:14.219><c> the</c><00:36:14.380><c> weekend?</c>

00:36:14.719 --> 00:36:17.159
And<00:36:14.780><c> we</c><00:36:14.900><c> sort</c><00:36:15.019><c> of</c><00:36:15.059><c> think,</c><00:36:15.820><c> well,</c><00:36:15.960><c> I</c><00:36:16.239><c> was</c><00:36:16.420><c> at</c><00:36:16.599><c> a</c><00:36:16.800><c> Bible</c><00:36:17.000><c> school,</c>

00:36:17.199 --> 00:36:18.000
but<00:36:17.280><c> I</c><00:36:17.380><c> don't</c><00:36:17.460><c> want</c><00:36:17.539><c> to</c><00:36:17.699><c> say</c><00:36:17.860><c> that</c>

00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:19.739
because<00:36:18.099><c> I'm</c><00:36:18.320><c> embarrassed</c><00:36:18.760><c> about</c><00:36:19.039><c> it.</c>

00:36:19.980 --> 00:36:21.739
And<00:36:20.260><c> so</c><00:36:20.400><c> in</c><00:36:20.559><c> a</c><00:36:20.739><c> similar</c><00:36:21.039><c> way,</c><00:36:21.360><c> of</c><00:36:21.539><c> course,</c>

00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:24.360
our<00:36:22.320><c> vulnerabilities</c><00:36:22.940><c> are</c><00:36:23.340><c> exposed.</c>

00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:28.800
So<00:36:27.599><c> he's</c><00:36:27.780><c> here</c><00:36:27.980><c> in</c><00:36:28.099><c> this</c><00:36:28.360><c> courtyard</c>

00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:30.719
and<00:36:29.039><c> he</c><00:36:29.139><c> was</c><00:36:29.360><c> totally</c><00:36:29.900><c> unprepared</c>

00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:32.920
to<00:36:30.860><c> be</c><00:36:31.139><c> questioned</c><00:36:31.559><c> by</c><00:36:31.940><c> a</c><00:36:32.179><c> servant</c><00:36:32.519><c> girl.</c>

00:36:33.139 --> 00:36:34.480
He<00:36:33.320><c> caught</c><00:36:33.579><c> him</c><00:36:33.780><c> off</c><00:36:34.039><c> guard</c>

00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:36.780
and<00:36:34.900><c> he</c><00:36:35.199><c> lied</c><00:36:35.420><c> about</c><00:36:35.800><c> knowing</c><00:36:36.159><c> Jesus.</c>

00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:40.360
And<00:36:37.300><c> of</c><00:36:37.400><c> course,</c><00:36:37.780><c> one</c><00:36:37.880><c> lies</c><00:36:38.179><c> we</c><00:36:38.420><c> know</c><00:36:38.639><c> leads</c><00:36:39.239><c> to</c><00:36:39.539><c> another.</c>

00:36:40.900 --> 00:36:44.119
So<00:36:41.059><c> we</c><00:36:41.179><c> can</c><00:36:41.400><c> imagine</c><00:36:41.719><c> ourselves</c><00:36:42.139><c> to</c><00:36:42.320><c> be</c><00:36:42.519><c> big</c><00:36:42.679><c> on</c><00:36:42.900><c> our</c><00:36:43.219><c> faith,</c>

00:36:44.659 --> 00:36:46.079
but<00:36:44.800><c> that</c><00:36:45.019><c> has</c><00:36:45.219><c> to</c><00:36:45.400><c> be</c><00:36:45.599><c> consistent</c>

00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:48.639

00:36:49.980 --> 00:36:52.420
And<00:36:50.260><c> our</c><00:36:50.480><c> loyalty</c><00:36:50.840><c> to</c><00:36:51.179><c> Christ</c><00:36:51.599><c> has</c><00:36:51.840><c> to</c><00:36:52.059><c> be</c><00:36:52.199><c> proved,</c>

00:36:52.639 --> 00:36:53.079
brothers<00:36:52.699><c> and</c><00:36:52.920><c> sisters,</c>

00:36:53.119 --> 00:36:54.320
in<00:36:53.260><c> the</c><00:36:53.460><c> little</c><00:36:53.619><c> things</c><00:36:53.860><c> that</c><00:36:54.039><c> we</c><00:36:54.219><c> do.</c>

00:36:54.420 --> 00:36:56.239
Not<00:36:54.579><c> many</c><00:36:54.840><c> of</c><00:36:54.940><c> us</c><00:36:55.039><c> have</c><00:36:55.199><c> to</c><00:36:55.320><c> go</c><00:36:55.440><c> onto</c><00:36:55.559><c> a</c><00:36:55.780><c> battlefield</c>

00:36:56.239 --> 00:36:59.800
and<00:36:56.820><c> confront</c><00:36:57.300><c> Roman</c><00:36:57.780><c> soldiers</c><00:36:58.280><c> and</c><00:36:58.599><c> stand</c><00:36:58.880><c> up</c><00:36:59.039><c> for</c><00:36:59.239><c> the</c><00:36:59.500><c> truth.</c>

00:36:59.980 --> 00:37:01.139
We<00:37:00.139><c> don't</c><00:37:00.260><c> have</c><00:37:00.400><c> to</c><00:37:00.519><c> do</c><00:37:00.719><c> that.</c>

00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:05.059
We<00:37:01.719><c> have</c><00:37:02.039><c> to</c><00:37:02.920><c> demonstrate</c><00:37:03.800><c> our</c><00:37:04.420><c> love</c><00:37:04.599><c> of</c><00:37:04.760><c> Christ</c>

00:37:16.260 --> 00:37:17.599
These<00:37:16.539><c> are</c><00:37:16.679><c> the</c><00:37:16.800><c> little</c><00:37:16.940><c> things</c><00:37:17.179><c> in</c><00:37:17.400><c> life</c>

That's<00:37:20.480><c> not</c><00:37:20.619><c> what</c><00:37:20.699><c> we're</c><00:37:21.039><c> called</c><00:37:21.139><c> to</c><00:37:21.420><c> do.</c>

00:37:22.460 --> 00:37:25.639
And<00:37:22.659><c> so</c><00:37:22.840><c> often</c><00:37:23.079><c> we're</c><00:37:23.400><c> caught</c><00:37:23.619><c> off</c><00:37:23.860><c> our</c><00:37:24.139><c> guard</c><00:37:24.400><c> like</c><00:37:24.739><c> Peter.</c>

00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:36.460
Again,<00:37:34.860><c> there's</c><00:37:35.079><c> another</c><00:37:35.380><c> reference.</c>

You're<00:37:41.559><c> a</c><00:37:41.780><c> Galilean.</c>

00:37:42.539 --> 00:37:44.900
Your<00:37:42.820><c> speech</c><00:37:43.139><c> betrays</c><00:37:43.900><c> you.</c>

00:37:45.820 --> 00:37:47.440
Brother<00:37:46.039><c> Harry</c><00:37:46.340><c> Whittaker's</c><00:37:46.719><c> lovely</c><00:37:47.119><c> statement.</c>

00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:52.099
He<00:37:47.679><c> says,</c><00:37:49.199><c> as</c><00:37:49.280><c> should</c><00:37:49.739><c> the</c><00:37:50.119><c> speech</c><00:37:50.360><c> of</c><00:37:50.579><c> every</c><00:37:50.840><c> true</c><00:37:51.039><c> disciple.</c>

00:37:53.619 --> 00:37:55.019
Don't<00:37:53.840><c> people</c><00:37:54.039><c> in</c><00:37:54.199><c> the</c><00:37:54.380><c> world</c><00:37:54.559><c> detect</c>

00:37:55.980 --> 00:37:57.119
because<00:37:56.239><c> of</c><00:37:56.400><c> the</c><00:37:56.480><c> way</c><00:37:56.639><c> we</c><00:37:56.920><c> talk</c>

00:37:57.119 --> 00:37:58.880
and<00:37:57.280><c> the</c><00:37:57.420><c> things</c><00:37:57.559><c> we</c><00:37:57.840><c> talk</c><00:37:58.039><c> about?</c>

00:37:59.320 --> 00:38:02.199
Our<00:37:59.559><c> speech</c><00:37:59.860><c> should</c><00:38:00.260><c> betray</c><00:38:00.739><c> who</c><00:38:01.000><c> we</c><00:38:01.280><c> are.</c>

00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:03.739
And<00:38:02.480><c> for</c><00:38:02.679><c> Peter,</c><00:38:02.820><c> he</c><00:38:02.960><c> was</c><00:38:03.159><c> a</c><00:38:03.320><c> Galilean</c>

00:38:03.739 --> 00:38:05.360
and<00:38:03.900><c> his</c><00:38:04.199><c> speech</c><00:38:04.619><c> was</c><00:38:05.000><c> different</c>

00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:09.300
to<00:38:05.559><c> the</c><00:38:05.820><c> educated</c><00:38:06.739><c> dialect</c><00:38:07.780><c> of</c><00:38:08.139><c> the</c><00:38:08.780><c> rabbis</c>

00:38:09.300 --> 00:38:11.280
and<00:38:09.420><c> the</c><00:38:09.639><c> teachers</c><00:38:09.920><c> here</c><00:38:10.179><c> in</c><00:38:10.380><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:13.019
The<00:38:11.920><c> Luke</c><00:38:12.119><c> record</c><00:38:12.539><c> says,</c>

00:38:13.440 --> 00:38:15.739
some<00:38:13.880><c> confidently</c><00:38:14.619><c> affirmed.</c>

00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:18.420
John<00:38:16.260><c> adds,</c><00:38:17.199><c> it</c><00:38:17.199><c> was</c><00:38:17.460><c> a</c><00:38:17.639><c> near</c><00:38:17.960><c> kinsman</c>

00:38:18.420 --> 00:38:20.139
of<00:38:18.639><c> one</c><00:38:18.920><c> whose</c><00:38:19.179><c> ear</c><00:38:19.460><c> was</c><00:38:19.760><c> cut</c><00:38:19.980><c> off.</c>

00:38:20.159 --> 00:38:21.860
So<00:38:20.340><c> it's</c><00:38:20.599><c> getting</c><00:38:20.880><c> frightening</c><00:38:21.280><c> for</c><00:38:21.539><c> Peter.</c>

00:38:22.340 --> 00:38:24.440
You<00:38:22.340><c> know,</c><00:38:23.239><c> it's</c><00:38:23.800><c> narrowing</c><00:38:24.260><c> down.</c>

00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:26.400
The<00:38:24.539><c> pressure</c><00:38:24.900><c> is</c><00:38:25.300><c> mounting.</c>

00:38:28.119 --> 00:38:30.539
And<00:38:28.179><c> then</c><00:38:28.400><c> Peter</c><00:38:28.599><c> lost</c><00:38:28.860><c> control,</c><00:38:29.460><c> didn't</c><00:38:29.539><c> he,</c><00:38:29.659><c> in</c><00:38:29.840><c> verse</c><00:38:30.059><c> 71?</c>

00:38:30.739 --> 00:38:32.239
It<00:38:30.960><c> all</c><00:38:31.199><c> welled</c><00:38:31.380><c> up</c><00:38:31.599><c> inside</c><00:38:32.039><c> of</c><00:38:32.159><c> him.</c>

00:38:32.320 --> 00:38:34.159
He<00:38:32.360><c> just</c><00:38:32.619><c> lost</c><00:38:32.900><c> control</c><00:38:33.400><c> in</c><00:38:33.599><c> that</c><00:38:33.840><c> moment.</c>

00:38:34.599 --> 00:38:38.420

00:38:39.579 --> 00:38:41.380
He<00:38:39.940><c> panicked,</c><00:38:40.400><c> he</c><00:38:40.559><c> fell</c><00:38:40.820><c> apart.</c>

00:38:41.659 --> 00:38:43.340
He<00:38:41.940><c> reverted</c><00:38:42.280><c> to</c><00:38:42.539><c> his</c><00:38:42.780><c> old</c><00:38:43.059><c> ways.</c>

00:38:45.980 --> 00:38:48.980
He<00:38:46.179><c> indicated</c><00:38:46.500><c> he</c><00:38:46.599><c> is</c><00:38:46.739><c> no</c><00:38:46.980><c> longer</c><00:38:47.239><c> a</c><00:38:47.400><c> disciple</c><00:38:47.780><c> of</c><00:38:48.059><c> Christ.</c>

00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:51.800
He<00:38:49.219><c> was</c><00:38:49.519><c> well</c><00:38:49.860><c> versed</c><00:38:50.280><c> in</c><00:38:50.460><c> profanities</c><00:38:51.159><c> and</c><00:38:51.400><c> oaths</c>

00:38:58.179 --> 00:38:59.699

00:40:00.340 --> 00:40:01.719
just<00:40:00.579><c> as</c><00:40:00.860><c> Peter</c><00:40:01.119><c> fell</c><00:40:01.380><c> apart,</c>

00:40:07.219 --> 00:40:11.559
It<00:40:07.519><c> interrupted</c><00:40:07.980><c> his</c><00:40:08.780><c> expression,</c><00:40:09.820><c> his</c><00:40:10.099><c> oaths,</c><00:40:10.519><c> his</c><00:40:10.760><c> cursing.</c>

00:40:12.139 --> 00:40:15.579
The<00:40:12.699><c> sound</c><00:40:13.219><c> of</c><00:40:13.420><c> that</c><00:40:13.699><c> trumpet</c><00:40:14.179><c> shattered</c><00:40:14.679><c> his</c><00:40:15.099><c> thoughts.</c>

00:40:34.980 --> 00:40:37.179
It's<00:40:35.260><c> the</c><00:40:35.440><c> final</c><00:40:35.679><c> change</c><00:40:36.039><c> of</c><00:40:36.219><c> the</c><00:40:36.360><c> Roman</c><00:40:36.679><c> guard,</c>

00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:47.199
Peter<00:40:45.340><c> was</c><00:40:45.619><c> now</c><00:40:45.860><c> on</c><00:40:46.179><c> his</c><00:40:46.420><c> own.</c>

00:40:57.500 --> 00:40:59.659
He'd<00:40:57.699><c> actually</c><00:40:57.940><c> been</c><00:40:58.179><c> relegated</c><00:40:58.699><c> to</c><00:40:58.920><c> a</c><00:40:59.039><c> lower</c><00:40:59.219><c> position</c>

00:40:59.659 --> 00:41:01.519
because<00:40:59.940><c> it</c><00:40:59.940><c> was</c><00:41:00.539><c> Judas</c><00:41:00.900><c> and</c><00:41:01.199><c> John</c>

00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:03.360

00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:04.840
in<00:41:03.519><c> that</c><00:41:03.679><c> upper</c><00:41:03.960><c> room.</c>

00:41:04.980 --> 00:41:08.820
He'd<00:41:05.320><c> been</c><00:41:05.579><c> told</c><00:41:05.820><c> off</c><00:41:06.059><c> by</c><00:41:06.320><c> Jesus</c><00:41:06.860><c> as</c><00:41:07.239><c> to</c><00:41:07.639><c> the</c><00:41:07.840><c> foot</c><00:41:08.019><c> washing.</c>

00:41:09.079 --> 00:41:11.159
On<00:41:09.199><c> the</c><00:41:09.340><c> way</c><00:41:09.460><c> to</c><00:41:09.619><c> the</c><00:41:09.840><c> guard,</c><00:41:10.219><c> he'd</c><00:41:10.539><c> protested</c>

00:41:11.159 --> 00:41:13.960
his<00:41:11.780><c> strong</c><00:41:12.300><c> individuality</c><00:41:13.159><c> and</c><00:41:13.300><c> his</c><00:41:13.579><c> loyalty,</c>

00:41:14.159 --> 00:41:16.539
and<00:41:14.360><c> he</c><00:41:14.480><c> was</c><00:41:14.659><c> again</c><00:41:15.019><c> rebuked</c><00:41:15.360><c> by</c><00:41:15.599><c> the</c><00:41:15.719><c> Lord</c><00:41:15.880><c> Jesus</c><00:41:16.280><c> Christ</c>

00:41:16.539 --> 00:41:20.760
three<00:41:16.940><c> times</c><00:41:17.340><c> and</c><00:41:17.639><c> told</c><00:41:18.019><c> that</c><00:41:18.780><c> he</c><00:41:19.619><c> would</c><00:41:19.820><c> deny</c><00:41:20.159><c> the</c><00:41:20.440><c> Lord</c>

00:41:20.760 --> 00:41:22.719
in<00:41:21.480><c> front</c><00:41:21.699><c> of</c><00:41:21.880><c> the</c><00:41:22.039><c> other</c><00:41:22.199><c> disciples.</c>

00:41:22.780 --> 00:41:25.159
This<00:41:22.960><c> wasn't</c><00:41:23.239><c> a</c><00:41:23.480><c> thing</c><00:41:23.599><c> that</c><00:41:23.719><c> was</c><00:41:23.820><c> done</c><00:41:24.139><c> privately.</c>

00:41:25.219 --> 00:41:27.860
Peter<00:41:25.500><c> protested,</c><00:41:26.539><c> and</c><00:41:26.820><c> in</c><00:41:27.000><c> his</c><00:41:27.280><c> protesting,</c>

00:41:28.000 --> 00:41:30.219
it<00:41:28.119><c> says</c><00:41:28.219><c> all</c><00:41:28.639><c> the</c><00:41:28.880><c> disciples</c><00:41:29.320><c> said</c><00:41:29.559><c> they</c><00:41:29.760><c> would</c><00:41:29.940><c> support.</c>

00:41:30.219 --> 00:41:34.900
So<00:41:30.500><c> this</c><00:41:30.719><c> is</c><00:41:30.880><c> a</c><00:41:31.079><c> public</c><00:41:32.500><c> repulsion</c><00:41:33.880><c> of</c><00:41:34.119><c> Peter's</c><00:41:34.659><c> comment</c>

00:41:34.900 --> 00:41:37.199
by<00:41:35.239><c> the</c><00:41:35.380><c> Lord</c><00:41:35.579><c> Jesus</c><00:41:35.980><c> Christ.</c>

00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:40.079
Then<00:41:38.099><c> he</c><00:41:38.219><c> fell</c><00:41:38.400><c> asleep</c><00:41:38.760><c> in</c><00:41:38.940><c> the</c><00:41:39.139><c> garden.</c>

00:41:40.179 --> 00:41:43.460
He<00:41:40.400><c> pulled</c><00:41:40.539><c> out</c><00:41:40.840><c> a</c><00:41:40.980><c> sword,</c><00:41:41.300><c> and</c><00:41:41.420><c> Jesus</c><00:41:41.739><c> told</c><00:41:42.019><c> him</c><00:41:42.219><c> off</c><00:41:42.400><c> again.</c>

00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:47.039
Peter's<00:41:44.400><c> not</c><00:41:44.599><c> feeling</c><00:41:44.880><c> particularly</c><00:41:45.360><c> good</c><00:41:45.639><c> about</c><00:41:45.900><c> himself.</c>

00:41:48.059 --> 00:41:49.599
And<00:41:48.219><c> when</c><00:41:48.320><c> he</c><00:41:48.500><c> says,</c><00:41:48.780><c> I</c><00:41:48.780><c> don't</c><00:41:49.059><c> know</c><00:41:49.320><c> the</c><00:41:49.460><c> man,</c>

00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:50.920
I<00:41:49.760><c> think</c><00:41:49.880><c> he</c><00:41:50.000><c> was</c><00:41:50.099><c> very</c><00:41:50.400><c> genuine</c><00:41:50.699><c> in</c><00:41:50.840><c> that.</c>

00:41:51.059 --> 00:41:53.340
I<00:41:51.059><c> think</c><00:41:51.179><c> he's</c><00:41:51.599><c> saying,</c><00:41:52.780><c> I'm</c><00:41:52.980><c> not</c><00:41:53.159><c> worthy</c>

00:41:53.340 --> 00:41:55.300
to<00:41:53.539><c> be</c><00:41:53.659><c> this</c><00:41:53.920><c> man's</c><00:41:54.340><c> disciple.</c>

00:41:56.039 --> 00:41:58.059
He's<00:41:56.280><c> starting</c><00:41:56.460><c> to</c><00:41:56.699><c> convince</c><00:41:56.980><c> himself</c><00:41:57.360><c> that</c><00:41:57.539><c> it's</c><00:41:57.780><c> true,</c>

00:41:58.099 --> 00:42:00.000
that<00:41:58.260><c> he</c><00:41:58.460><c> just</c><00:41:58.760><c> didn't</c><00:41:58.980><c> have</c><00:41:59.239><c> the</c><00:41:59.539><c> qualities,</c>

00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:03.480
the<00:42:00.260><c> sustaining</c><00:42:00.840><c> qualities</c><00:42:01.420><c> that</c><00:42:02.039><c> Jesus</c><00:42:02.500><c> needed.</c>

00:42:04.059 --> 00:42:06.340
He<00:42:04.119><c> wasn't</c><00:42:04.559><c> worthy</c><00:42:05.000><c> to</c><00:42:05.320><c> follow</c><00:42:05.619><c> the</c><00:42:05.840><c> Messiah,</c>

00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:08.559

00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:12.659
And<00:42:09.920><c> the</c><00:42:10.099><c> record</c><00:42:10.400><c> says</c><00:42:10.739><c> he</c><00:42:10.900><c> heard</c><00:42:11.139><c> the</c><00:42:11.380><c> sound</c><00:42:11.559><c> of</c><00:42:11.699><c> the</c><00:42:11.900><c> trumpet.</c>

00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:16.599
The<00:42:12.960><c> door</c><00:42:13.239><c> opened,</c><00:42:13.800><c> the</c><00:42:14.059><c> temple</c><00:42:14.320><c> guards</c><00:42:14.659><c> moved</c><00:42:15.019><c> past</c><00:42:15.440><c> in</c><00:42:15.659><c> a</c><00:42:15.860><c> group,</c>

This<00:44:44.780><c> is</c><00:44:44.960><c> a</c><00:44:45.099><c> blurry</c><00:44:45.340><c> shot</c><00:44:45.659><c> but</c><00:44:45.820><c> it's</c><00:44:46.000><c> the</c><00:44:46.079><c> only</c><00:44:46.219><c> one</c><00:44:46.380><c> I</c><00:44:46.659><c> took</c>

00:44:46.820 --> 00:44:48.000
because<00:44:47.000><c> I</c><00:44:47.099><c> only</c><00:44:47.219><c> had</c><00:44:47.300><c> my</c><00:44:47.559><c> phone</c><00:44:47.800><c> here.</c>

00:44:48.000 --> 00:44:49.739
This<00:44:48.219><c> is</c><00:44:48.420><c> the</c><00:44:48.579><c> courtyard</c><00:44:49.000><c> here.</c>

00:44:50.159 --> 00:44:54.500
So<00:44:50.340><c> you</c><00:44:50.360><c> can</c><00:44:50.539><c> imagine</c><00:44:50.900><c> how</c><00:44:51.380><c> small</c><00:44:51.619><c> it</c><00:44:51.719><c> would</c><00:44:51.980><c> be</c><00:44:52.320><c> and</c><00:44:52.780><c> how</c><00:44:53.179><c> intense.</c>

00:44:55.719 --> 00:44:57.320
And<00:44:55.860><c> for</c><00:44:55.980><c> me,</c><00:44:56.139><c> that</c><00:44:56.219><c> was</c><00:44:56.380><c> an</c><00:44:56.579><c> amazing</c><00:44:57.000><c> moment</c>

00:44:57.320 --> 00:45:00.900
because<00:44:57.719><c> they're</c><00:44:58.059><c> 90</c><00:44:58.260><c>%</c><00:44:58.699><c> sure</c><00:44:58.900><c> that</c><00:44:59.079><c> this</c><00:44:59.300><c> was</c><00:44:59.500><c> the</c><00:44:59.679><c> house</c><00:44:59.980><c> of</c><00:45:00.360><c> Caiaphas.</c>

00:45:01.400 --> 00:45:03.619
It<00:45:01.579><c> has</c><00:45:01.860><c> lots</c><00:45:02.159><c> of</c><00:45:02.500><c> ritual</c><00:45:02.840><c> baths.</c>

00:45:03.820 --> 00:45:08.280
It<00:45:04.039><c> has</c><00:45:04.460><c> a</c><00:45:04.920><c> position</c><00:45:05.320><c> that</c><00:45:05.500><c> would</c><00:45:05.639><c> have</c><00:45:05.880><c> seen</c><00:45:06.119><c> the</c><00:45:06.500><c> temple</c><00:45:06.880><c> unhindered.</c>

00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:11.840
And<00:45:08.719><c> if</c><00:45:08.860><c> that's</c><00:45:09.139><c> the</c><00:45:09.239><c> case,</c><00:45:10.119><c> I've</c><00:45:10.559><c> stood</c><00:45:10.679><c> in</c><00:45:10.900><c> the</c><00:45:11.119><c> very</c><00:45:11.400><c> courtyard</c>

00:45:11.840 --> 00:45:15.139
where<00:45:12.159><c> Peter</c><00:45:12.940><c> looked</c><00:45:13.699><c> at</c><00:45:13.880><c> the</c><00:45:13.960><c> Lord</c><00:45:14.159><c> Jesus</c><00:45:14.619><c> Christ.</c>

00:45:15.139 --> 00:45:18.559
So<00:45:15.719><c> for</c><00:45:15.960><c> me,</c><00:45:16.099><c> I</c><00:45:16.199><c> was</c><00:45:16.360><c> quite</c><00:45:16.760><c> staggered</c><00:45:17.539><c> at</c><00:45:17.719><c> the</c><00:45:18.099><c> closeness</c>

00:45:18.559 --> 00:45:22.019
and<00:45:18.760><c> the</c><00:45:19.059><c> intensity</c><00:45:19.559><c> that</c><00:45:20.300><c> look</c><00:45:20.619><c> of</c><00:45:21.039><c> Christ</c><00:45:21.360><c> to</c><00:45:21.619><c> Peter</c><00:45:21.780><c> would</c>

00:45:22.019 --> 00:45:22.320
have<00:45:22.199><c> been.</c>

00:45:22.340 --> 00:45:23.760
It<00:45:22.480><c> wasn't</c><00:45:22.699><c> a</c><00:45:22.960><c> great</c><00:45:23.179><c> distance.</c>

00:45:23.960 --> 00:45:26.599
It<00:45:24.139><c> was</c><00:45:24.360><c> just</c><00:45:24.699><c> merely</c><00:45:25.219><c> metres.</c>

00:45:29.980 --> 00:45:34.139
So<00:45:30.360><c> Christ</c><00:45:31.019><c> was</c><00:45:31.940><c> always</c><00:45:32.420><c> near</c><00:45:32.659><c> Peter</c><00:45:32.960><c> in</c><00:45:33.219><c> times</c><00:45:33.539><c> of</c><00:45:33.860><c> trouble.</c>

00:45:34.460 --> 00:45:35.780
And<00:45:34.460><c> again,</c><00:45:34.820><c> Christ</c><00:45:35.219><c> is</c><00:45:35.539><c> here,</c>

00:45:35.780 --> 00:45:38.539
but<00:45:36.300><c> there</c><00:45:36.780><c> was</c><00:45:37.039><c> no</c><00:45:37.440><c> verbal</c><00:45:37.880><c> encouragement</c>

00:45:38.539 --> 00:45:40.019
from<00:45:38.800><c> the</c><00:45:38.960><c> Lord</c><00:45:39.099><c> Jesus</c><00:45:39.519><c> Christ.</c>

00:45:40.400 --> 00:45:42.920
But<00:45:40.800><c> I</c><00:45:40.980><c> think</c><00:45:41.099><c> in</c><00:45:41.280><c> the</c><00:45:41.460><c> look</c><00:45:41.619><c> that</c><00:45:41.900><c> Christ</c><00:45:42.159><c> gave</c><00:45:42.480><c> to</c><00:45:42.760><c> Peter,</c>

00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:45.659
there<00:45:43.019><c> was</c><00:45:43.420><c> an</c><00:45:43.800><c> intensity</c><00:45:44.179><c> of</c><00:45:44.559><c> encouragement.</c>

00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:51.300
Notice<00:45:47.360><c> that</c><00:45:47.599><c> in</c><00:45:47.739><c> verse</c><00:45:48.159><c> 72,</c><00:45:48.860><c> the</c><00:45:49.000><c> record</c><00:45:49.300><c> here</c><00:45:49.539><c> by</c><00:45:49.820><c> John</c><00:45:50.159><c> Mark</c><00:45:50.480><c> says,</c>

00:45:57.219 --> 00:46:00.539

00:46:00.940 --> 00:46:05.179
And<00:46:01.300><c> when</c><00:46:01.519><c> he</c><00:46:01.679><c> had</c><00:46:02.019><c> thought</c><00:46:02.300><c> thereon,</c><00:46:03.780><c> he</c><00:46:04.119><c> wept.</c>

00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:10.780
We<00:46:08.400><c> often</c><00:46:08.659><c> focus</c><00:46:09.059><c> on</c><00:46:09.260><c> the</c><00:46:09.440><c> face</c><00:46:09.599><c> of</c><00:46:09.760><c> the</c><00:46:09.860><c> Lord</c><00:46:10.059><c> Jesus</c><00:46:10.400><c> Christ,</c>

00:46:10.820 --> 00:46:12.519
but<00:46:10.960><c> think</c><00:46:11.139><c> for</c><00:46:11.300><c> a</c><00:46:11.420><c> moment</c><00:46:11.559><c> as</c><00:46:11.739><c> to</c><00:46:11.960><c> Peter's</c><00:46:12.340><c> face.</c>

00:46:12.519 --> 00:46:14.960
What<00:46:13.000><c> would</c><00:46:13.619><c> have</c><00:46:13.800><c> been</c><00:46:13.940><c> the</c><00:46:14.239><c> return</c><00:46:14.519><c> look</c><00:46:14.760><c> back</c>

00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:16.199

00:46:16.519 --> 00:46:19.440
We<00:46:17.000><c> see</c><00:46:17.280><c> Christ's</c><00:46:17.920><c> face</c><00:46:17.980><c> and</c><00:46:18.119><c> we</c><00:46:18.199><c> see</c><00:46:18.340><c> that</c><00:46:18.519><c> look</c><00:46:18.639><c> of</c><00:46:18.920><c> compassion</c>

00:46:22.780 --> 00:46:24.860
But<00:46:22.960><c> I</c><00:46:23.099><c> wonder</c><00:46:23.280><c> what</c><00:46:23.519><c> Peter's</c><00:46:24.000><c> face</c><00:46:24.119><c> would</c><00:46:24.300><c> have</c><00:46:24.420><c> looked</c><00:46:24.599><c> like</c>

00:46:24.860 --> 00:46:27.980

00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:31.559
What<00:46:28.679><c> sort</c><00:46:28.820><c> of</c><00:46:28.980><c> emotion</c><00:46:29.320><c> was</c><00:46:29.599><c> displayed</c><00:46:29.940><c> on</c><00:46:30.239><c> Peter's</c><00:46:30.739><c> face?</c>

00:46:31.659 --> 00:46:33.179
And<00:46:31.760><c> you</c><00:46:31.840><c> know,</c><00:46:31.940><c> as</c><00:46:32.039><c> the</c><00:46:32.239><c> Lord</c><00:46:32.480><c> looked</c><00:46:32.719><c> at</c><00:46:33.000><c> Peter</c>

you<00:46:34.739><c> know</c><00:46:34.840><c> the</c><00:46:34.960><c> fantastic</c><00:46:35.539><c> thing?</c>

00:46:37.059 --> 00:46:39.480
Without<00:46:37.539><c> hesitation,</c><00:46:38.159><c> Jesus</c><00:46:38.679><c> went</c><00:46:38.920><c> to</c><00:46:39.079><c> the</c><00:46:39.280><c> cross</c>

00:46:39.480 --> 00:46:41.179

And<00:46:43.159><c> he</c><00:46:43.320><c> sees</c><00:46:43.619><c> us</c><00:46:43.940><c> just</c><00:46:44.179><c> the</c><00:46:44.420><c> same</c><00:46:44.699><c> way</c><00:46:44.940><c> as</c><00:46:45.079><c> he</c><00:46:45.179><c> saw</c><00:46:45.420><c> Peter.</c>

00:46:46.619 --> 00:46:49.599
He<00:46:46.840><c> observes</c><00:46:47.199><c> us</c><00:46:47.460><c> with</c><00:46:47.639><c> that</c><00:46:47.920><c> same</c><00:46:48.239><c> compassionate</c><00:46:48.800><c> understanding.</c>

But<00:47:03.139><c> the</c><00:47:03.340><c> Lord</c><00:47:03.579><c> looks</c><00:47:03.900><c> at</c><00:47:04.079><c> us</c><00:47:04.300><c> with</c><00:47:04.519><c> that</c><00:47:04.900><c> same</c><00:47:05.199><c> level</c>

00:47:05.559 --> 00:47:07.780
of<00:47:05.940><c> compassion</c><00:47:06.360><c> and</c><00:47:06.800><c> encouragement.</c>

00:47:09.320 --> 00:47:11.219
We<00:47:09.659><c> need</c><00:47:09.840><c> to</c><00:47:09.980><c> keep</c><00:47:10.059><c> it</c><00:47:10.260><c> in</c><00:47:10.440><c> balance,</c><00:47:10.699><c> of</c><00:47:10.940><c> course,</c>

00:47:11.219 --> 00:47:13.559
because<00:47:11.639><c> with</c><00:47:11.960><c> the</c><00:47:12.219><c> exception</c><00:47:12.519><c> of</c><00:47:12.780><c> John,</c>

00:47:14.199 --> 00:47:17.900
Peter<00:47:14.340><c> stayed</c><00:47:14.840><c> closer</c><00:47:15.300><c> to</c><00:47:15.559><c> the</c><00:47:15.739><c> Lord</c><00:47:16.099><c> than</c><00:47:16.579><c> all</c><00:47:16.820><c> the</c><00:47:17.039><c> others.</c>

00:47:19.260 --> 00:47:21.380
The<00:47:19.480><c> other</c><00:47:19.719><c> disciples,</c><00:47:20.340><c> it</c><00:47:20.619><c> says,</c>

00:47:22.099 --> 00:47:25.860
forsook<00:47:22.579><c> and</c><00:47:22.880><c> fled</c><00:47:23.619><c> the</c><00:47:24.039><c> Lord</c><00:47:24.260><c> Jesus</c><00:47:24.780><c> Christ.</c>

00:47:26.000 --> 00:47:28.059
As<00:47:26.159><c> we</c><00:47:26.420><c> say,</c><00:47:26.699><c> he</c><00:47:26.840><c> may</c><00:47:27.139><c> have</c><00:47:27.300><c> forsook</c><00:47:27.699><c> and</c><00:47:27.920><c> fled</c>

00:47:28.059 --> 00:47:30.320

00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:32.579
Momentarily,<00:47:31.039><c> but</c><00:47:31.199><c> as</c><00:47:31.420><c> far</c><00:47:31.639><c> as</c><00:47:31.840><c> Peter</c><00:47:32.039><c> is</c><00:47:32.300><c> concerned,</c>

00:47:32.679 --> 00:47:35.679
let's<00:47:32.860><c> remember,</c><00:47:33.639><c> he</c><00:47:33.880><c> returned</c><00:47:34.380><c> close</c><00:47:34.840><c> enough</c><00:47:35.099><c> to</c><00:47:35.300><c> Jesus</c>

00:47:35.679 --> 00:47:37.599

00:47:38.519 --> 00:47:42.619
So<00:47:39.079><c> there</c><00:47:39.219><c> were</c><00:47:39.480><c> nine</c><00:47:39.900><c> other</c><00:47:40.340><c> disciples</c><00:47:40.940><c> that</c><00:47:41.239><c> weren't</c><00:47:41.539><c> there.</c>

00:47:43.340 --> 00:47:45.400
It's<00:47:43.559><c> true</c><00:47:43.719><c> that</c><00:47:43.940><c> Peter</c><00:47:44.119><c> denied</c><00:47:44.480><c> him</c><00:47:44.699><c> three</c><00:47:45.039><c> times,</c>

00:47:45.460 --> 00:47:47.980
but<00:47:45.579><c> he</c><00:47:45.719><c> was</c><00:47:45.920><c> certainly</c><00:47:46.219><c> close</c><00:47:46.579><c> enough</c><00:47:46.800><c> to</c><00:47:46.960><c> be</c><00:47:47.119><c> in</c><00:47:47.239><c> eye</c><00:47:47.500><c> contact</c>

00:47:47.980 --> 00:47:50.519

00:47:51.500 --> 00:47:55.260
And<00:47:51.920><c> the</c><00:47:52.360><c> record</c><00:47:52.679><c> says,</c><00:47:53.940><c> the</c><00:47:54.000><c> Lord</c><00:47:54.260><c> turned,</c><00:47:54.480><c> looked</c><00:47:54.619><c> upon</c><00:47:54.940><c> Peter</c>

00:47:56.380 --> 00:47:59.699
And<00:47:56.820><c> again,</c><00:47:57.539><c> in</c><00:47:57.699><c> a</c><00:47:57.820><c> very</c><00:47:58.019><c> wonderful</c><00:47:58.280><c> way</c><00:47:58.659><c> in</c><00:47:58.900><c> his</c><00:47:59.179><c> epistle,</c>

00:48:00.139 --> 00:48:01.860
when<00:48:00.340><c> Peter</c><00:48:00.639><c> writes,</c><00:48:01.599><c> he</c><00:48:01.719><c> says,</c>

00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:05.019
I<00:48:02.000><c> won't</c><00:48:02.320><c> be</c><00:48:02.659><c> negligent</c><00:48:03.039><c> to</c><00:48:03.300><c> put</c><00:48:03.440><c> you</c><00:48:03.760><c> always</c><00:48:04.000><c> in</c><00:48:04.659><c> remembrance,</c>

00:48:06.139 --> 00:48:09.239
You<00:48:06.519><c> wonder</c><00:48:06.760><c> when</c><00:48:06.920><c> he</c><00:48:07.239><c> penned</c><00:48:07.500><c> that,</c><00:48:07.760><c> he</c><00:48:07.800><c> sort</c><00:48:08.019><c> of</c><00:48:08.519><c> reflected</c><00:48:08.880><c> back</c>

where<00:48:21.000><c> Christ</c><00:48:21.340><c> says,</c><00:48:21.599><c> strengthen</c><00:48:22.199><c> your</c><00:48:22.460><c> brethren.</c>

00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:24.579
And<00:48:23.300><c> here's</c><00:48:23.699><c> Peter</c><00:48:23.900><c> doing</c><00:48:24.219><c> that.</c>

00:48:24.960 --> 00:48:27.619
He<00:48:25.139><c> says,</c><00:48:25.380><c> I</c><00:48:25.679><c> remember</c><00:48:26.420><c> what</c><00:48:27.059><c> I</c><00:48:27.300><c> went</c><00:48:27.500><c> through</c>

00:48:29.219 --> 00:48:31.300
so<00:48:29.760><c> you</c><00:48:30.179><c> too</c><00:48:30.360><c> can</c><00:48:30.559><c> be</c><00:48:30.900><c> strengthened</c>

00:48:34.159 --> 00:48:36.380
And<00:48:34.460><c> as</c><00:48:34.639><c> we've</c><00:48:34.940><c> said,</c><00:48:35.119><c> of</c><00:48:35.340><c> course,</c>

00:48:44.159 --> 00:48:46.519
So<00:48:44.420><c> for</c><00:48:44.579><c> Peter,</c><00:48:44.800><c> he</c><00:48:44.940><c> saw</c><00:48:45.139><c> the</c><00:48:45.380><c> contrast,</c>

and<00:48:52.280><c> he</c><00:48:53.059><c> was</c><00:48:53.320><c> disappointed</c><00:48:53.840><c> in</c><00:48:54.219><c> himself.</c>

00:48:55.340 --> 00:48:57.159

00:48:57.159 --> 00:49:00.019

You<00:49:02.280><c> know,</c><00:49:03.039><c> for</c><00:49:03.280><c> the</c><00:49:03.960><c> disciple</c><00:49:04.440><c> Peter,</c>

00:49:18.340 --> 00:49:19.400

And<00:49:21.559><c> as</c><00:49:21.639><c> he's</c><00:49:21.840><c> watching</c><00:49:22.099><c> the</c><00:49:22.340><c> Lord</c><00:49:22.519><c> led</c><00:49:22.739><c> away</c>

00:49:23.059 --> 00:49:25.320
and<00:49:23.260><c> later</c><00:49:23.480><c> crucified,</c><00:49:24.059><c> he</c><00:49:24.139><c> had</c><00:49:24.420><c> no</c><00:49:24.739><c> opportunity</c>

00:49:25.320 --> 00:49:27.860
to<00:49:25.900><c> remedy</c><00:49:26.239><c> that</c><00:49:26.599><c> situation.</c>

00:49:28.519 --> 00:49:29.500
He<00:49:28.980><c> made</c><00:49:29.239><c> some</c><00:49:29.420><c> mistakes,</c>

00:49:29.500 --> 00:49:31.019
didn't<00:49:30.039><c> he?</c>

00:49:31.219 --> 00:49:32.239
He<00:49:31.440><c> kept</c><00:49:31.639><c> on</c><00:49:32.000><c> talking</c>

00:49:32.239 --> 00:49:34.179
when<00:49:32.420><c> he</c><00:49:32.579><c> should</c><00:49:32.719><c> have</c><00:49:32.840><c> listened</c><00:49:33.079><c> to</c><00:49:33.260><c> the</c><00:49:33.400><c> Lord.</c>

00:49:34.360 --> 00:49:35.940
He<00:49:34.579><c> wouldn't</c><00:49:34.860><c> accept</c><00:49:35.159><c> his</c><00:49:35.440><c> own</c><00:49:35.639><c> weakness.</c>

00:49:36.099 --> 00:49:37.539
He<00:49:36.119><c> lived</c><00:49:36.539><c> in</c><00:49:37.179><c> denial.</c>

00:49:37.699 --> 00:49:39.219
He<00:49:37.900><c> ignored</c><00:49:38.179><c> Jesus'</c><00:49:39.139><c> warning.</c>

00:49:39.639 --> 00:49:41.219
He<00:49:39.820><c> resorted</c><00:49:40.219><c> to</c><00:49:40.420><c> physical</c><00:49:40.760><c> violence.</c>

00:49:41.340 --> 00:49:43.019
He<00:49:41.420><c> was</c><00:49:41.699><c> caught</c><00:49:41.880><c> totally</c><00:49:42.280><c> off</c><00:49:42.599><c> guard</c>

00:49:43.019 --> 00:49:45.800
and<00:49:43.460><c> he</c><00:49:43.800><c> compounded</c><00:49:44.340><c> his</c><00:49:45.039><c> situation</c>

00:49:45.800 --> 00:49:47.699
by<00:49:46.699><c> denying</c><00:49:47.199><c> the</c><00:49:47.500><c> Lord</c>

00:49:47.699 --> 00:49:50.719
and<00:49:47.920><c> then</c><00:49:48.219><c> finally,</c><00:49:48.400><c> of</c><00:49:48.639><c> course,</c><00:49:49.219><c> cursing</c><00:49:49.500><c> and</c><00:49:49.739><c> swearing.</c>

00:49:51.340 --> 00:49:53.820
But<00:49:51.539><c> as</c><00:49:51.679><c> we</c><00:49:51.880><c> say,</c><00:49:52.139><c> failure</c><00:49:52.500><c> is</c><00:49:52.800><c> neither</c><00:49:53.119><c> accidental</c>

00:49:53.820 --> 00:49:56.000
nor<00:49:54.199><c> incidental</c><00:49:54.820><c> to</c><00:49:55.019><c> our</c><00:49:55.199><c> spiritual</c><00:49:55.659><c> growth.</c>

00:49:56.199 --> 00:49:56.659
It's<00:49:56.360><c> essential.</c>

00:49:56.659 --> 00:49:59.860
This<00:49:56.800><c> was</c><00:49:57.079><c> a</c><00:49:58.539><c> growing</c><00:49:58.960><c> process</c>

00:49:59.860 --> 00:50:02.519
as<00:50:00.179><c> far</c><00:50:00.480><c> as</c><00:50:00.800><c> Peter</c><00:50:01.019><c> was</c><00:50:01.320><c> concerned.</c>

00:50:02.739 --> 00:50:06.179
And<00:50:02.860><c> for</c><00:50:03.019><c> us,</c><00:50:04.340><c> we</c><00:50:04.559><c> go</c><00:50:04.760><c> through</c><00:50:05.000><c> those</c><00:50:05.300><c> same</c><00:50:05.639><c> failures</c>

00:50:06.179 --> 00:50:07.679
but<00:50:06.599><c> their</c><00:50:06.840><c> learning</c><00:50:07.099><c> curves</c><00:50:07.480><c> for</c><00:50:07.539><c> us.</c>

00:50:07.739 --> 00:50:11.519
Three<00:50:08.119><c> failures</c><00:50:08.760><c> indicate</c><00:50:09.679><c> an</c><00:50:10.219><c> astonishing</c><00:50:10.940><c> strength.</c>

00:50:11.820 --> 00:50:13.539
A<00:50:11.980><c> weakling</c><00:50:12.360><c> doesn't</c><00:50:12.659><c> have</c><00:50:12.820><c> enough</c><00:50:13.059><c> grit</c>

00:50:13.539 --> 00:50:15.400
to<00:50:14.280><c> fail</c><00:50:14.619><c> three</c><00:50:15.019><c> times.</c>

00:50:15.739 --> 00:50:17.139
Peter<00:50:16.000><c> went</c><00:50:16.219><c> through</c><00:50:16.440><c> that</c><00:50:16.699><c> process</c>

00:50:17.139 --> 00:50:19.179
and<00:50:17.400><c> every</c><00:50:17.699><c> time</c><00:50:17.940><c> he</c><00:50:18.039><c> got</c><00:50:18.260><c> back</c><00:50:18.579><c> up</c><00:50:18.860><c> again.</c>

00:50:19.579 --> 00:50:20.719
So<00:50:19.719><c> for</c><00:50:19.840><c> us</c><00:50:20.119><c> brothers</c><00:50:20.400><c> and</c><00:50:20.559><c> sisters,</c>

00:50:20.739 --> 00:50:21.840
when<00:50:20.880><c> we</c><00:50:21.119><c> fall</c><00:50:21.360><c> down,</c>

00:50:22.179 --> 00:50:24.440
it's<00:50:22.440><c> just</c><00:50:22.719><c> part</c><00:50:22.980><c> of</c><00:50:23.139><c> the</c><00:50:23.280><c> rebuilding</c><00:50:23.780><c> process</c>

00:50:24.440 --> 00:50:25.400
in<00:50:24.760><c> our</c><00:50:25.000><c> lives.</c>

00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:28.519
And<00:50:25.840><c> you</c><00:50:26.019><c> know,</c><00:50:26.139><c> this</c><00:50:26.320><c> isn't</c><00:50:26.599><c> the</c><00:50:26.719><c> end</c><00:50:26.860><c> of</c><00:50:27.139><c> the</c><00:50:27.219><c> story,</c><00:50:27.519><c> is</c><00:50:27.719><c> it?</c>

00:50:28.840 --> 00:50:30.440
The<00:50:29.019><c> very</c><00:50:29.400><c> next</c><00:50:29.980><c> incident,</c>

00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:34.219
the<00:50:30.860><c> very</c><00:50:31.119><c> next</c><00:50:31.460><c> record</c><00:50:32.000><c> is</c><00:50:32.500><c> Luke</c><00:50:32.739><c> 24.</c>

00:50:34.519 --> 00:50:37.059
Then<00:50:34.519><c> arose</c><00:50:35.239><c> Peter,</c><00:50:36.239><c> John</c><00:50:36.539><c> 20.</c>

00:50:37.380 --> 00:50:39.239
Peter<00:50:37.539><c> therefore</c><00:50:38.280><c> went</c><00:50:38.760><c> forth.</c>

00:50:39.460 --> 00:50:42.260
And<00:50:39.659><c> for</c><00:50:39.820><c> me,</c><00:50:39.960><c> that's</c><00:50:40.199><c> a</c><00:50:40.320><c> wonderful</c><00:50:40.760><c> elevation</c><00:50:41.360><c> of</c><00:50:41.559><c> life</c><00:50:41.800><c> of</c><00:50:41.980><c> Peter.</c>

00:50:42.599 --> 00:50:45.059
He<00:50:42.679><c> didn't</c><00:50:42.940><c> fall</c><00:50:43.239><c> down</c><00:50:43.480><c> on</c><00:50:43.659><c> the</c><00:50:43.860><c> ground</c><00:50:44.079><c> and</c><00:50:44.340><c> remain</c><00:50:44.739><c> there.</c>

00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:48.239
He<00:50:45.679><c> got</c><00:50:45.960><c> back</c><00:50:46.300><c> up</c><00:50:46.559><c> again</c><00:50:46.940><c> to</c><00:50:47.440><c> follow</c><00:50:47.639><c> his</c><00:50:47.940><c> Lord.</c>

00:50:48.619 --> 00:50:49.780
Psalm<00:50:48.860><c> 37</c><00:50:49.480><c> says,</c>

00:50:49.940 --> 00:50:52.059
the<00:50:49.940><c> steps</c><00:50:50.239><c> of</c><00:50:50.420><c> the</c><00:50:50.559><c> good</c><00:50:50.719><c> men</c><00:50:50.920><c> are</c><00:50:51.139><c> ordered</c><00:50:51.340><c> by</c><00:50:51.760><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:50:52.280 --> 00:50:53.440
He<00:50:52.559><c> delights</c><00:50:52.920><c> in</c><00:50:53.079><c> his</c><00:50:53.280><c> way.</c>

00:50:53.440 --> 00:50:56.599
Though<00:50:53.619><c> he</c><00:50:53.900><c> fall</c><00:50:54.079><c> down,</c><00:50:54.460><c> he</c><00:50:54.460><c> will</c><00:50:54.659><c> not</c><00:50:54.860><c> be</c><00:50:55.019><c> utterly</c><00:50:55.260><c> cast</c><00:50:55.699><c> down.</c>

00:50:56.619 --> 00:50:58.000
Yahweh<00:50:57.019><c> upholds</c><00:50:57.739><c> him.</c>

00:50:58.420 --> 00:50:59.599
Again,<00:50:58.920><c> Proverbs</c><00:50:59.079><c> 24,</c>

00:50:59.840 --> 00:51:04.579
a<00:50:59.900><c> righteous</c><00:51:00.320><c> man</c><00:51:00.780><c> falls</c><00:51:01.480><c> seven</c><00:51:02.440><c> times</c><00:51:03.119><c> and</c><00:51:03.739><c> gets</c><00:51:04.000><c> up</c><00:51:04.280><c> again</c>

00:51:04.579 --> 00:51:08.519
but<00:51:04.760><c> the</c><00:51:04.940><c> wicked</c><00:51:05.119><c> will</c><00:51:05.440><c> stumble</c><00:51:05.840><c> in</c><00:51:06.320><c> a</c><00:51:06.539><c> time</c><00:51:06.900><c> of</c><00:51:07.380><c> calamity.</c>

00:51:10.099 --> 00:51:12.579
God<00:51:10.360><c> can</c><00:51:10.619><c> take</c><00:51:11.000><c> a</c><00:51:11.199><c> broken</c><00:51:11.460><c> and</c><00:51:11.760><c> a</c><00:51:11.920><c> weak</c><00:51:12.059><c> person</c>

00:51:12.579 --> 00:51:15.199
and<00:51:12.920><c> make</c><00:51:13.079><c> them</c><00:51:13.360><c> stronger</c><00:51:13.800><c> than</c><00:51:14.119><c> before.</c>

00:51:15.500 --> 00:51:18.199
If<00:51:15.659><c> you</c><00:51:15.780><c> ever</c><00:51:15.960><c> break</c><00:51:16.300><c> your</c><00:51:16.579><c> arm</c><00:51:16.860><c> where</c><00:51:17.139><c> that</c><00:51:17.480><c> break</c><00:51:17.739><c> is,</c>

00:51:18.579 --> 00:51:19.619
as<00:51:18.739><c> the</c><00:51:19.000><c> bone</c><00:51:19.239><c> heals,</c>

00:51:19.800 --> 00:51:23.480
it<00:51:19.880><c> actually</c><00:51:20.039><c> becomes</c><00:51:20.480><c> stronger</c><00:51:21.099><c> than</c><00:51:21.639><c> when</c><00:51:21.800><c> it</c><00:51:22.019><c> was</c><00:51:22.260><c> before.</c>

00:51:23.719 --> 00:51:26.000
And<00:51:24.320><c> although</c><00:51:24.679><c> we</c><00:51:25.159><c> fall</c><00:51:25.300><c> brothers</c><00:51:25.659><c> and</c><00:51:25.820><c> sisters,</c>

00:51:26.239 --> 00:51:27.860
we're<00:51:26.340><c> encouraged</c><00:51:26.760><c> by</c><00:51:27.059><c> the</c><00:51:27.239><c> life</c><00:51:27.460><c> of</c><00:51:27.719><c> Peter</c>

00:51:27.860 --> 00:51:29.699
who<00:51:28.099><c> got</c><00:51:28.300><c> back</c><00:51:28.579><c> up</c><00:51:28.820><c> again</c>

00:51:29.840 --> 00:51:34.519
and<00:51:30.219><c> became</c><00:51:30.719><c> a</c><00:51:31.400><c> strong</c><00:51:31.699><c> pillar</c><00:51:32.079><c> in</c><00:51:32.380><c> the</c><00:51:32.659><c> Ecclesia</c><00:51:33.059><c> of</c><00:51:33.619><c> God.</c>

00:51:35.239 --> 00:51:37.880
And<00:51:35.679><c> Peter</c><00:51:35.960><c> did</c><00:51:36.179><c> a</c><00:51:36.340><c> lot</c><00:51:36.480><c> more</c><00:51:36.780><c> for</c><00:51:36.980><c> Jesus</c><00:51:37.420><c> Christ</c>

00:51:37.880 --> 00:51:40.420
after<00:51:38.380><c> his</c><00:51:38.719><c> fall</c><00:51:38.900><c> than</c><00:51:39.079><c> he</c><00:51:39.199><c> did</c><00:51:39.380><c> before.</c>

00:51:40.699 --> 00:51:41.340
Previous<00:51:41.039><c> to</c><00:51:41.239><c> that,</c>

00:51:41.360 --> 00:51:44.519
