There's<00:00:56.479><c> a</c><00:00:56.659><c> few</c><00:00:56.880><c> things</c><00:00:57.200><c> we</c><00:00:57.340><c> can't</c><00:00:57.619><c> be</c><00:00:57.880><c> certain</c><00:00:58.100><c> of</c><00:00:58.280><c> here,</c>

00:03:09.699 --> 00:03:12.599
That<00:03:10.020><c> seems</c><00:03:10.280><c> to</c><00:03:10.500><c> be</c><00:03:10.599><c> the</c><00:03:10.879><c> historical</c><00:03:11.240><c> sequence</c><00:03:11.840><c> of</c><00:03:12.419><c> this</c>

that<00:04:02.000><c> is</c><00:04:02.219><c> after</c><00:04:02.580><c> the</c><00:04:02.819><c> discourse</c><00:04:03.139><c> in</c><00:04:03.340><c> the</c><00:04:03.460><c> synagogue</c><00:04:03.780><c> of</c><00:04:03.939><c> Capernaum,</c>

00:04:04.580 --> 00:04:08.780
it<00:04:04.699><c> says</c><00:04:05.080><c> many</c><00:04:05.800><c> of</c><00:04:06.000><c> these</c><00:04:06.219><c> disciples</c><00:04:06.759><c> walked</c><00:04:07.400><c> no</c><00:04:08.020><c> more</c><00:04:08.240><c> with</c><00:04:08.479><c> him.</c>

00:04:08.780 --> 00:04:11.840
And<00:04:09.699><c> so</c><00:04:10.020><c> there</c><00:04:10.180><c> would</c><00:04:10.360><c> have</c><00:04:10.500><c> been,</c><00:04:10.659><c> of</c><00:04:10.840><c> course,</c><00:04:11.139><c> this</c><00:04:11.319><c> message,</c>

00:04:12.340 --> 00:04:14.879
it<00:04:12.340><c> would</c><00:04:12.479><c> have</c><00:04:12.620><c> went</c><00:04:12.960><c> down</c><00:04:13.280><c> into</c><00:04:13.520><c> Judea</c><00:04:13.900><c> and</c><00:04:14.000><c> that</c><00:04:14.159><c> would</c><00:04:14.280><c> have</c><00:04:14.400><c> been</c><00:04:14.500><c> like</c><00:04:14.659><c> an</c>

00:04:17.899 --> 00:04:20.600
There's<00:04:18.019><c> some</c><00:04:18.519><c> disenchantment</c><00:04:19.240><c> among</c><00:04:19.459><c> his</c><00:04:19.759><c> followers.</c>

00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:24.160
And<00:04:21.220><c> so</c><00:04:21.360><c> the</c><00:04:21.560><c> opportune</c><00:04:22.120><c> time</c><00:04:22.300><c> is</c><00:04:22.560><c> here</c><00:04:22.740><c> now</c><00:04:23.220><c> to</c><00:04:23.660><c> try</c><00:04:23.899><c> and</c><00:04:24.060><c> put</c>

00:04:26.939 --> 00:04:30.399
And<00:04:27.160><c> so</c><00:04:27.399><c> certain</c><00:04:27.639><c> of</c><00:04:27.800><c> the</c><00:04:28.019><c> scribes</c><00:04:28.639><c> came</c><00:04:28.959><c> up</c><00:04:29.319><c> from</c><00:04:29.819><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.759
And<00:04:35.920><c> they're</c><00:04:36.139><c> watching,</c><00:04:37.180><c> verse</c><00:04:37.399><c> two.</c>

00:04:39.139 --> 00:04:42.300
And<00:04:39.180><c> when</c><00:04:39.279><c> they</c><00:04:39.620><c> saw</c><00:04:39.920><c> some</c><00:04:40.420><c> of</c><00:04:40.779><c> his</c><00:04:41.060><c> disciples</c><00:04:41.639><c> eat</c><00:04:42.000><c> bread</c>

00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:53.300
Now,<00:04:50.160><c> the</c><00:04:50.279><c> practice</c><00:04:50.879><c> of</c><00:04:51.360><c> washing</c><00:04:51.740><c> the</c><00:04:52.060><c> hands,</c><00:04:52.699><c> brethren</c><00:04:52.839><c> and</c><00:04:53.100><c> sisters,</c>

00:04:53.379 --> 00:04:55.920

00:04:56.279 --> 00:04:59.899

00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.560
Mark<00:05:00.560><c> does</c><00:05:00.920><c> say</c><00:05:01.240><c> here</c><00:05:01.579><c> that</c><00:05:01.879><c> it</c><00:05:02.019><c> was</c><00:05:02.199><c> a</c><00:05:02.319><c> tradition</c><00:05:02.620><c> of</c><00:05:02.860><c> all</c><00:05:03.120><c> the</c><00:05:03.319><c> Jews,</c>

00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:05.420
but<00:05:03.980><c> that</c><00:05:04.240><c> is</c><00:05:04.420><c> a</c><00:05:04.519><c> qualified</c><00:05:05.019><c> statement.</c>

00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:07.439
Not<00:05:05.660><c> all</c><00:05:05.939><c> the</c><00:05:06.139><c> Jews</c><00:05:06.339><c> practiced</c><00:05:06.879><c> those</c><00:05:07.220><c> things.</c>

00:05:07.720 --> 00:05:10.819
For<00:05:07.860><c> example,</c><00:05:08.819><c> the</c><00:05:08.939><c> Sadducees</c><00:05:09.379><c> didn't.</c>

00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:13.139
And<00:05:11.279><c> neither</c><00:05:11.519><c> did</c><00:05:11.740><c> the</c><00:05:12.019><c> Galileans,</c>

00:05:13.620 --> 00:05:17.259
because<00:05:13.879><c> the</c><00:05:14.139><c> Galileans,</c><00:05:14.560><c> of</c><00:05:14.779><c> course,</c><00:05:15.100><c> were</c><00:05:15.319><c> a</c><00:05:15.759><c> pretty</c><00:05:15.980><c> rough</c><00:05:16.339><c> breed.</c>

00:05:17.540 --> 00:05:19.660
They<00:05:17.660><c> were</c><00:05:17.839><c> noted</c><00:05:18.060><c> for</c><00:05:18.240><c> their</c><00:05:18.579><c> outdoor</c><00:05:19.000><c> way</c><00:05:19.220><c> of</c><00:05:19.439><c> life,</c>

00:05:23.459 --> 00:05:26.540
Not<00:05:23.860><c> rough</c><00:05:24.139><c> in</c><00:05:24.319><c> the</c><00:05:24.500><c> sense</c><00:05:24.639><c> of</c><00:05:24.800><c> being</c><00:05:25.040><c> immoral,</c><00:05:25.480><c> but</c><00:05:26.180><c> country</c>

00:05:26.540 --> 00:05:27.399
rough,<00:05:26.759><c> you</c><00:05:26.879><c> might</c><00:05:27.160><c> say.</c>

00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:29.439
You<00:05:27.519><c> know,</c><00:05:27.779><c> they</c><00:05:28.279><c> were</c><00:05:28.439><c> hicks.</c>

00:05:29.500 --> 00:05:31.379
And<00:05:29.660><c> they</c><00:05:29.800><c> didn't</c><00:05:29.980><c> always</c><00:05:30.439><c> wash</c><00:05:30.759><c> before</c><00:05:31.060><c> the</c><00:05:31.240><c> meals.</c>

00:05:31.379 --> 00:05:34.639
And<00:05:31.720><c> the</c><00:05:31.980><c> Pharisees</c><00:05:32.540><c> generally,</c><00:05:33.100><c> brothers</c><00:05:33.420><c> and</c><00:05:33.660><c> sisters,</c>

00:05:35.019 --> 00:05:38.259
generally<00:05:35.500><c> disregarded</c><00:05:35.980><c> them</c><00:05:36.240><c> with</c><00:05:36.519><c> a</c><00:05:36.779><c> scornful</c><00:05:37.399><c> disdain.</c>

00:05:38.660 --> 00:05:40.480
Oh,<00:05:39.100><c> well,</c><00:05:39.300><c> that's</c><00:05:39.660><c> them.</c>

00:05:40.860 --> 00:05:42.879
So<00:05:41.000><c> you</c><00:05:41.060><c> don't</c><00:05:41.259><c> take</c><00:05:41.339><c> any</c><00:05:41.480><c> notice</c><00:05:41.660><c> of</c><00:05:41.860><c> the</c><00:05:42.019><c> Galileans.</c>

00:05:43.420 --> 00:05:45.079
They're<00:05:43.660><c> the</c><00:05:43.839><c> last</c><00:05:44.079><c> ones</c><00:05:44.259><c> in</c><00:05:44.399><c> the</c><00:05:44.560><c> world</c><00:05:44.720><c> that</c><00:05:44.860><c> are</c><00:05:45.019><c> going</c><00:05:45.019><c> to</c>

00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:46.759
conform<00:05:45.399><c> to</c><00:05:45.560><c> any</c><00:05:45.699><c> sort</c><00:05:45.939><c> of</c><00:05:46.100><c> decent</c><00:05:46.339><c> tradition.</c>

00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:48.100
So<00:05:47.120><c> you</c><00:05:47.199><c> don't</c><00:05:47.420><c> worry</c><00:05:47.699><c> about</c><00:05:47.860><c> them.</c>

00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:50.220
But<00:05:48.339><c> they're</c><00:05:48.620><c> worrying</c><00:05:48.779><c> about</c><00:05:49.000><c> them</c><00:05:49.199><c> now.</c>

00:05:51.579 --> 00:05:54.500
Why?<00:05:52.060><c> Because</c><00:05:52.540><c> they</c><00:05:52.860><c> are</c><00:05:53.279><c> his</c><00:05:53.939><c> disciples.</c>

00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:56.379
That's<00:05:55.399><c> the</c><00:05:55.519><c> difference.</c>

00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:58.639
So<00:05:57.220><c> now</c><00:05:57.379><c> we</c><00:05:57.579><c> take</c><00:05:57.740><c> notice.</c>

00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:01.240
Because<00:05:59.519><c> they</c><00:05:59.759><c> are</c><00:06:00.000><c> his</c><00:06:00.560><c> disciples.</c>

00:06:01.500 --> 00:06:04.660
Now<00:06:01.699><c> they're</c><00:06:01.879><c> going</c><00:06:01.959><c> to</c><00:06:02.139><c> take</c><00:06:02.279><c> notice,</c><00:06:02.639><c> and</c><00:06:02.720><c> they're</c><00:06:02.879><c> watching</c><00:06:03.220><c> very</c><00:06:03.639><c> carefully.</c>

00:06:04.779 --> 00:06:06.220
And<00:06:04.920><c> they're</c><00:06:05.019><c> wondering,</c><00:06:05.579><c> brothers</c><00:06:05.759><c> and</c><00:06:05.899><c> sisters,</c>

00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:09.540
about<00:06:06.519><c> this</c><00:06:06.779><c> man</c><00:06:07.079><c> who</c><00:06:07.639><c> teaches</c><00:06:08.160><c> the</c><00:06:08.439><c> holiness</c><00:06:08.740><c> of</c><00:06:08.959><c> God</c>

00:06:09.540 --> 00:06:12.420
as<00:06:10.160><c> to</c><00:06:10.240><c> whether</c><00:06:10.399><c> he</c><00:06:10.519><c> will</c><00:06:10.680><c> live</c><00:06:10.920><c> up</c><00:06:11.139><c> to</c><00:06:11.300><c> that</c><00:06:11.480><c> teaching.</c>

00:06:12.740 --> 00:06:14.600
And<00:06:12.899><c> if</c><00:06:13.000><c> anyone's</c><00:06:13.319><c> going</c><00:06:13.420><c> to</c><00:06:13.439><c> let</c><00:06:13.560><c> him</c><00:06:13.740><c> down,</c><00:06:14.160><c> it's</c><00:06:14.300><c> going</c><00:06:14.420><c> to</c>

be<00:06:14.939><c> his</c><00:06:15.279><c> disciples.</c>

00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:17.220
And<00:06:16.100><c> they</c><00:06:16.339><c> did.</c>

It's<00:11:14.100><c> when</c><00:11:14.299><c> those</c><00:11:14.659><c> traditions,</c><00:11:15.259><c> brethren</c><00:11:15.460><c> and</c><00:11:15.679><c> sisters,</c>

00:11:16.100 --> 00:11:18.000
are<00:11:16.320><c> carried</c><00:11:16.620><c> to</c><00:11:16.879><c> ridiculous</c><00:11:17.460><c> lengths,</c>

00:11:18.460 --> 00:11:22.000
and<00:11:18.559><c> become</c><00:11:19.279><c> a</c><00:11:19.679><c> principle</c><00:11:20.120><c> in</c><00:11:20.460><c> their</c><00:11:20.720><c> own</c><00:11:21.019><c> right,</c>

00:11:22.419 --> 00:11:24.460
to<00:11:22.580><c> the</c><00:11:22.799><c> exclusion</c><00:11:23.360><c> of</c><00:11:23.500><c> what</c><00:11:23.700><c> God</c><00:11:23.960><c> has</c><00:11:24.259><c> said,</c>

00:11:24.700 --> 00:11:27.039
when<00:11:24.860><c> they</c><00:11:25.019><c> are</c><00:11:25.179><c> taken</c><00:11:25.419><c> to</c><00:11:25.679><c> lengths</c><00:11:25.899><c> where</c><00:11:26.100><c> they</c><00:11:26.360><c> start</c><00:11:26.659><c> to</c>

00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:27.899
nullify<00:11:27.460><c> the</c><00:11:27.679><c> Bible,</c>

00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:29.100
that's<00:11:28.299><c> when</c><00:11:28.399><c> they</c><00:11:28.559><c> go</c><00:11:28.779><c> wrong.</c>

00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:32.059
We<00:11:29.779><c> have</c><00:11:30.039><c> traditions,</c><00:11:30.539><c> and</c><00:11:30.679><c> some</c><00:11:30.879><c> of</c><00:11:30.960><c> those</c><00:11:31.179><c> traditions</c><00:11:31.559><c> are</c>

00:11:32.059 --> 00:11:32.879
fine<00:11:32.360><c> traditions.</c>

00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:35.659
For<00:11:33.580><c> example,</c><00:11:34.399><c> we</c><00:11:34.639><c> would</c><00:11:34.840><c> tell</c><00:11:35.000><c> our</c><00:11:35.240><c> young</c><00:11:35.440><c> people,</c>

00:11:35.659 --> 00:11:37.639
we<00:11:35.779><c> would</c><00:11:35.940><c> exhort</c><00:11:36.179><c> ourselves,</c><00:11:36.840><c> our</c><00:11:36.919><c> brethren</c><00:11:37.139><c> and</c><00:11:37.360><c> sisters,</c>

00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:40.059
we've<00:11:38.179><c> got</c><00:11:38.259><c> to</c><00:11:38.419><c> be</c><00:11:38.779><c> separate</c><00:11:39.240><c> from</c><00:11:39.480><c> the</c><00:11:39.679><c> world.</c>

00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:42.360
Well,<00:11:40.620><c> that's</c><00:11:40.700><c> what</c><00:11:40.879><c> the</c><00:11:41.080><c> Pharisee</c><00:11:41.500><c> was.</c>

00:11:43.019 --> 00:11:44.259
That's<00:11:43.200><c> what</c><00:11:43.299><c> his</c><00:11:43.580><c> name</c><00:11:43.820><c> means.</c>

00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:48.120
The<00:11:44.820><c> title,</c><00:11:45.379><c> Pharisee,</c><00:11:45.679><c> means</c><00:11:46.000><c> a</c><00:11:46.559><c> separate</c><00:11:47.059><c> one.</c>

00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:50.360
And<00:11:49.019><c> he</c><00:11:49.159><c> didn't</c><00:11:49.419><c> have</c><00:11:49.740><c> common</c><00:11:50.039><c> hands.</c>

00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:53.139
All<00:11:50.759><c> the</c><00:11:51.000><c> hands</c><00:11:51.120><c> on</c><00:11:51.299><c> the</c><00:11:51.480><c> table</c><00:11:51.899><c> might</c><00:11:52.299><c> be</c><00:11:52.519><c> not</c><00:11:52.720><c> like</c><00:11:52.960><c> his.</c>

00:11:53.179 --> 00:11:57.080
His<00:11:53.320><c> were</c><00:11:53.539><c> pearly</c><00:11:53.940><c> white,</c><00:11:55.080><c> different</c><00:11:55.379><c> from</c><00:11:55.600><c> everybody</c><00:11:55.879><c> else's.</c>

00:11:57.220 --> 00:11:59.019
Now,<00:11:57.460><c> you</c><00:11:57.580><c> see,</c><00:11:57.779><c> when</c><00:11:57.940><c> we</c><00:11:58.179><c> live</c><00:11:58.299><c> among</c><00:11:58.460><c> the</c><00:11:58.639><c> world,</c><00:11:58.879><c> brothers</c>

00:11:59.019 --> 00:11:59.460
and<00:11:59.279><c> sisters,</c>

00:11:59.480 --> 00:12:01.539
we<00:11:59.639><c> ought</c><00:11:59.820><c> to</c><00:11:59.960><c> be</c><00:12:00.240><c> seen</c><00:12:00.500><c> as</c><00:12:00.720><c> different.</c>

00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:04.419
People<00:12:02.639><c> ought</c><00:12:02.779><c> to</c><00:12:02.899><c> see</c><00:12:03.059><c> the</c><00:12:03.259><c> difference</c><00:12:03.679><c> between</c><00:12:04.039><c> the</c><00:12:04.259><c> world</c>

00:12:04.419 --> 00:12:05.299
and<00:12:04.559><c> the</c><00:12:04.679><c> Christadelphian</c>

00:12:05.299 --> 00:12:07.620
by,<00:12:05.720><c> first</c><00:12:05.879><c> of</c><00:12:06.000><c> all,</c><00:12:06.120><c> the</c><00:12:06.200><c> way</c><00:12:06.360><c> they</c><00:12:06.659><c> dress.</c>

00:12:08.139 --> 00:12:10.840
They<00:12:08.299><c> ought</c><00:12:08.460><c> to</c><00:12:08.559><c> see</c><00:12:08.659><c> the</c><00:12:08.860><c> difference</c><00:12:09.120><c> by</c><00:12:09.340><c> the</c><00:12:09.440><c> way</c><00:12:09.580><c> they</c><00:12:09.919><c> speak.</c>

00:12:11.539 --> 00:12:14.919
And<00:12:11.899><c> finally,</c><00:12:12.220><c> and</c><00:12:12.419><c> more</c><00:12:12.720><c> importantly,</c><00:12:13.220><c> by</c><00:12:13.419><c> the</c><00:12:13.580><c> way</c><00:12:13.700><c> they</c><00:12:13.980><c> act.</c>

00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.340
But<00:12:16.840><c> when</c><00:12:17.360><c> that</c><00:12:17.740><c> difference</c><00:12:18.139><c> is</c><00:12:18.480><c> made,</c><00:12:19.320><c> a</c><00:12:19.419><c> point</c><00:12:19.600><c> of</c><00:12:19.899><c> pride</c>

00:12:20.340 --> 00:12:21.700
and<00:12:20.679><c> arrogance,</c>

00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:24.919
and<00:12:22.639><c> pushed</c><00:12:22.879><c> to</c><00:12:23.059><c> an</c><00:12:23.200><c> extreme</c><00:12:23.759><c> where</c><00:12:24.080><c> we</c><00:12:24.419><c> believe</c>

00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.220
that<00:12:25.399><c> we</c><00:12:25.559><c> are</c><00:12:25.799><c> so</c><00:12:26.039><c> much</c><00:12:26.259><c> better</c><00:12:26.460><c> than</c><00:12:26.700><c> other</c><00:12:26.879><c> men,</c>

00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:29.059
that<00:12:27.379><c> they</c><00:12:27.580><c> are</c><00:12:27.799><c> unworthy</c><00:12:28.299><c> of</c><00:12:28.460><c> our</c><00:12:28.740><c> company,</c>

00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:30.820
that<00:12:29.539><c> is</c><00:12:29.899><c> wrong.</c>

00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:35.019
You<00:12:32.159><c> know,</c><00:12:32.759><c> it's</c><00:12:32.860><c> ever</c><00:12:33.299><c> been</c><00:12:33.679><c> a</c><00:12:33.799><c> problem</c><00:12:34.080><c> of</c><00:12:34.360><c> human</c><00:12:34.519><c> nature</c>

00:12:35.019 --> 00:12:38.059
that<00:12:35.860><c> as</c><00:12:35.980><c> it</c><00:12:36.120><c> turns</c><00:12:36.659><c> from</c><00:12:36.940><c> its</c><00:12:37.320><c> wayward</c><00:12:37.700><c> life</c>

00:12:38.059 --> 00:12:41.279
to<00:12:38.440><c> live</c><00:12:38.679><c> the</c><00:12:38.820><c> life</c><00:12:39.080><c> of</c><00:12:39.440><c> holiness</c><00:12:39.679><c> that</c><00:12:39.919><c> God</c><00:12:40.139><c> requires,</c>

00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:44.279
it<00:12:41.779><c> will</c><00:12:42.019><c> inevitably</c><00:12:42.419><c> go</c><00:12:42.960><c> right</c><00:12:43.360><c> across</c><00:12:43.679><c> the</c><00:12:43.940><c> spectrum</c>

00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:47.600
unless<00:12:44.879><c> an</c><00:12:45.399><c> equilibrium</c><00:12:45.860><c> is</c><00:12:46.200><c> kept</c><00:12:46.500><c> spiritually.</c>

00:12:48.419 --> 00:12:50.639
We<00:12:48.600><c> are</c><00:12:48.960><c> separate,</c><00:12:49.440><c> brothers</c><00:12:49.580><c> and</c><00:12:49.620><c> sisters,</c><00:12:50.080><c> because</c><00:12:50.419><c> we</c>

00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:51.240
love<00:12:50.899><c> God,</c>

00:12:51.299 --> 00:12:53.840
not<00:12:51.500><c> because</c><00:12:51.820><c> we</c><00:12:52.139><c> hate</c><00:12:52.539><c> other</c><00:12:52.840><c> men.</c>

00:12:54.779 --> 00:12:56.320
That's<00:12:55.179><c> the</c><00:12:55.340><c> difference.</c>

00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:00.759
And<00:12:57.759><c> I</c><00:12:58.200><c> personally,</c><00:12:58.860><c> it's</c><00:12:59.200><c> about,</c><00:12:59.340><c> of</c><00:12:59.659><c> course,</c><00:13:00.399><c> I</c><00:13:00.460><c> suppose,</c>

00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:01.320
opinion<00:13:01.080><c> here,</c>

00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:04.259
I<00:13:01.799><c> personally</c><00:13:02.200><c> don't</c><00:13:02.519><c> like</c><00:13:03.159><c> to</c><00:13:03.480><c> hear</c><00:13:03.639><c> Christadelphians</c>

00:13:04.259 --> 00:13:07.240
talking<00:13:04.580><c> about</c><00:13:04.840><c> people</c><00:13:05.039><c> in</c><00:13:05.159><c> the</c><00:13:05.279><c> world</c><00:13:05.519><c> as</c><00:13:05.799><c> the</c><00:13:06.080><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:13:08.120 --> 00:13:10.480
I<00:13:08.600><c> don't</c><00:13:08.799><c> really</c><00:13:08.980><c> think</c><00:13:09.100><c> that's</c><00:13:09.320><c> quite</c><00:13:09.580><c> nice.</c>

00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:12.460
I<00:13:11.460><c> don't</c><00:13:11.639><c> really</c><00:13:11.820><c> think</c><00:13:11.899><c> that's</c><00:13:12.240><c> right.</c>

00:13:12.620 --> 00:13:14.980
We've<00:13:12.919><c> got</c><00:13:12.960><c> to</c><00:13:13.179><c> teach</c><00:13:13.340><c> our</c><00:13:13.580><c> children</c><00:13:13.740><c> there's</c><00:13:13.960><c> a</c><00:13:14.159><c> difference.</c>

00:13:15.259 --> 00:13:18.059
But<00:13:15.399><c> the</c><00:13:15.620><c> difference</c><00:13:15.840><c> is</c><00:13:16.019><c> that</c><00:13:16.159><c> we</c><00:13:16.340><c> love</c><00:13:16.519><c> God,</c><00:13:17.419><c> not</c><00:13:17.620><c> that</c><00:13:17.820><c> we</c>

00:13:18.059 --> 00:13:19.139
hate<00:13:18.379><c> other</c><00:13:18.639><c> men.</c>

00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:22.139
And<00:13:20.039><c> that's</c><00:13:20.419><c> where</c><00:13:20.580><c> the</c><00:13:20.820><c> Pharisee</c><00:13:21.200><c> went</c><00:13:21.360><c> wrong.</c>

00:13:22.460 --> 00:13:25.159
So<00:13:22.720><c> his</c><00:13:22.960><c> principles</c><00:13:23.399><c> carried</c><00:13:23.779><c> him</c><00:13:23.960><c> right</c><00:13:24.159><c> across</c><00:13:24.419><c> the</c><00:13:24.639><c> spectrum</c>

00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:28.500
to<00:13:25.799><c> where</c><00:13:25.899><c> he</c><00:13:26.299><c> lived</c><00:13:26.480><c> the</c><00:13:26.700><c> life</c><00:13:26.919><c> of</c><00:13:27.159><c> hypocrisy</c><00:13:27.879><c> and</c><00:13:28.200><c> contempt</c>

00:13:28.500 --> 00:13:29.059
of<00:13:28.720><c> others</c>

00:13:29.059 --> 00:13:32.659

00:13:33.379 --> 00:13:35.440
It<00:13:33.440><c> was</c><00:13:33.620><c> the</c><00:13:33.799><c> voice</c><00:13:34.139><c> that</c><00:13:34.419><c> said</c><00:13:34.559><c> to</c><00:13:34.779><c> Peter,</c>

00:15:58.539 --> 00:16:02.340
Now<00:15:58.840><c> I</c><00:15:58.879><c> don't</c><00:15:59.000><c> want</c><00:15:59.559><c> to</c><00:15:59.799><c> bore</c><00:15:59.960><c> you</c><00:16:00.200><c> or</c><00:16:00.519><c> humor</c><00:16:00.799><c> you,</c><00:16:01.019><c> I</c><00:16:01.100><c> should</c><00:16:01.279><c> say,</c>

00:16:05.659 --> 00:16:08.080
It's<00:16:06.220><c> almost</c><00:16:06.559><c> like</c><00:16:06.860><c> a</c><00:16:07.179><c> circus.</c>

00:16:08.340 --> 00:16:10.440
You<00:16:08.679><c> couldn't</c><00:16:08.980><c> believe</c><00:16:09.539><c> that</c><00:16:09.759><c> grown</c><00:16:09.980><c>-up</c><00:16:10.220><c> men,</c>

00:16:15.379 --> 00:16:17.299
It's<00:16:15.720><c> unbelievable.</c>

00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:20.019
And<00:16:18.200><c> it</c><00:16:18.379><c> happens</c><00:16:18.620><c> in</c><00:16:18.860><c> a</c><00:16:18.919><c> collegial</c><00:16:19.220><c> life,</c>

00:16:21.460 --> 00:16:24.659
We<00:16:21.600><c> might</c><00:16:21.860><c> not</c><00:16:22.019><c> go</c><00:16:22.159><c> to</c><00:16:22.320><c> the</c><00:16:22.480><c> same</c><00:16:22.820><c> buffoonery</c><00:16:23.340><c> that</c><00:16:23.480><c> they</c><00:16:23.700><c> went</c><00:16:23.919><c> to.</c>

00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:38.740
Now<00:16:37.879><c> I</c><00:16:38.080><c> don't</c><00:16:38.159><c> do</c><00:16:38.279><c> that</c><00:16:38.440><c> at</c><00:16:38.600><c> all.</c>

00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:51.419
in<00:16:49.019><c> actual</c><00:16:49.279><c> print</c><00:16:49.539><c> about</c><00:16:49.759><c> a</c><00:16:49.980><c> certain</c><00:16:50.320><c> circumstance</c><00:16:50.940><c> in</c><00:16:51.139><c> our</c><00:16:51.299><c> life,</c>

00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:54.919

00:16:56.940 --> 00:16:59.600
But<00:16:57.080><c> we</c><00:16:57.299><c> say,</c><00:16:57.580><c> in</c><00:16:57.799><c> accordance</c><00:16:58.100><c> with</c><00:16:58.360><c> the</c><00:16:58.659><c> principles</c><00:16:59.039><c> of</c><00:16:59.220><c> the</c><00:16:59.379><c> word,</c>

00:17:02.059 --> 00:17:03.440
That's<00:17:02.500><c> fine.</c>

00:17:04.279 --> 00:17:07.400
And<00:17:04.700><c> when</c><00:17:04.920><c> that</c><00:17:05.140><c> consensus</c><00:17:05.920><c> of</c><00:17:06.180><c> opinion</c><00:17:06.460><c> gets</c><00:17:06.819><c> to</c><00:17:07.019><c> that</c><00:17:07.200><c> point</c>

00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:12.980
not<00:17:11.539><c> because</c><00:17:11.859><c> someone</c><00:17:12.019><c> wants</c><00:17:12.220><c> to</c><00:17:12.339><c> be</c><00:17:12.640><c> boss</c>

00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:17.299
but<00:17:15.619><c> because</c><00:17:15.900><c> we</c><00:17:16.039><c> know</c><00:17:16.200><c> that's</c><00:17:16.440><c> for</c><00:17:16.500><c> the</c><00:17:16.759><c> common</c><00:17:16.980><c> good,</c>

00:17:51.940 --> 00:17:53.660
And<00:17:52.119><c> we</c><00:17:52.220><c> have</c><00:17:52.420><c> had</c><00:17:52.559><c> in</c><00:17:52.700><c> this</c><00:17:52.920><c> Ecclesia,</c>

00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:56.000

00:17:56.079 --> 00:17:57.180

00:17:57.180 --> 00:18:00.539
a<00:17:57.599><c> classic</c><00:17:58.299><c> demonstration</c><00:17:59.180><c> of</c><00:17:59.660><c> those</c><00:17:59.980><c> things</c>

00:18:01.019 --> 00:18:04.039
that<00:18:01.460><c> has</c><00:18:01.619><c> led</c><00:18:01.839><c> people</c><00:18:02.339><c> into</c><00:18:03.140><c> situations</c>

00:18:04.259 --> 00:18:06.980
where<00:18:04.700><c> they</c><00:18:04.880><c> can't</c><00:18:05.119><c> even</c><00:18:05.539><c> eat</c><00:18:05.940><c> with</c><00:18:06.140><c> it.</c>

00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:09.180
And<00:18:08.079><c> that's</c><00:18:08.200><c> where</c><00:18:08.359><c> this</c><00:18:08.619><c> has</c><00:18:08.920><c> led.</c>

00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:11.240
And<00:18:09.759><c> we've</c><00:18:09.940><c> got</c><00:18:10.000><c> to</c><00:18:10.099><c> be</c><00:18:10.299><c> extremely</c><00:18:10.839><c> careful.</c>

00:18:11.299 --> 00:18:13.740
And<00:18:11.420><c> that's</c><00:18:11.640><c> where</c><00:18:11.799><c> the</c><00:18:12.220><c> Pharisees</c><00:18:12.660><c> had</c><00:18:12.859><c> gone,</c><00:18:13.160><c> brethren</c><00:18:13.339><c> and</c><00:18:13.519><c> sisters.</c>

00:18:13.819 --> 00:18:14.539
That's<00:18:14.039><c> where</c><00:18:14.140><c> they'd</c><00:18:14.440><c> gone.</c>

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.720
We<00:18:15.220><c> don't</c><00:18:15.599><c> want,</c><00:18:16.319><c> in</c><00:18:16.579><c> this</c><00:18:16.859><c> place,</c>

00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:19.819
a<00:18:18.160><c> rejection</c><00:18:18.480><c> of</c><00:18:18.700><c> the</c><00:18:18.859><c> Pharisaical</c><00:18:19.400><c> tradition</c>

God<00:18:21.519><c> forbid</c><00:18:21.960><c> that</c><00:18:22.160><c> should</c><00:18:22.339><c> happen.</c>

00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:24.519
Because<00:18:23.279><c> I'll</c><00:18:23.559><c> tell</c><00:18:23.660><c> you</c><00:18:23.779><c> something,</c>

00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:26.599
there<00:18:24.880><c> were</c><00:18:25.119><c> a</c><00:18:25.259><c> lot</c><00:18:25.359><c> of</c><00:18:25.519><c> those</c><00:18:25.740><c> traditions</c><00:18:26.039><c> of</c><00:18:26.220><c> the</c><00:18:26.380><c> Jews</c>

which<00:18:26.880><c> were</c><00:18:27.099><c> very</c><00:18:27.440><c> good.</c>

00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:30.079
If<00:18:28.740><c> you</c><00:18:28.960><c> follow</c><00:18:29.220><c> through</c><00:18:29.440><c> the</c><00:18:29.539><c> Last</c><00:18:29.859><c> Supper,</c>

00:18:30.140 --> 00:18:32.059

00:18:32.059 --> 00:18:34.359
that<00:18:32.119><c> are</c><00:18:32.319><c> not</c><00:18:32.460><c> written</c><00:18:32.660><c> in</c><00:18:32.819><c> the</c><00:18:32.960><c> Scriptures</c><00:18:33.200><c> of</c><00:18:33.519><c> truth,</c>

00:18:34.900 --> 00:18:36.960
but<00:18:35.059><c> which</c><00:18:35.240><c> were</c><00:18:35.579><c> inculcated</c><00:18:36.140><c> in</c><00:18:36.339><c> Jewish</c><00:18:36.559><c> traditions</c>

00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:40.180
and<00:18:37.140><c> some</c><00:18:37.359><c> of</c><00:18:37.460><c> them</c><00:18:37.599><c> were</c><00:18:38.400><c> really</c><00:18:39.099><c> good</c><00:18:39.519><c> understandings</c>

00:18:40.180 --> 00:18:42.019
of<00:18:40.339><c> the</c><00:18:40.519><c> principles</c><00:18:40.799><c> of</c><00:18:40.980><c> the</c><00:18:41.160><c> truth.</c>

00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:44.019
And<00:18:42.259><c> had</c><00:18:42.359><c> they</c><00:18:42.640><c> all</c><00:18:42.900><c> been</c><00:18:43.079><c> like</c><00:18:43.380><c> that,</c>

00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:46.059
there<00:18:44.519><c> would</c><00:18:44.700><c> have</c><00:18:44.819><c> been</c><00:18:44.920><c> no</c><00:18:45.180><c> trouble.</c>

00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:48.160
But<00:18:46.700><c> of</c><00:18:46.900><c> course,</c><00:18:47.180><c> inevitably,</c>

00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:49.460
it<00:18:48.319><c> does</c><00:18:48.599><c> happen,</c><00:18:48.819><c> as</c><00:18:48.960><c> I</c><00:18:49.180><c> say,</c>

00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:52.160
they<00:18:50.059><c> keep</c><00:18:50.460><c> piling</c><00:18:50.900><c> up</c><00:18:51.220><c> principle</c><00:18:51.500><c> upon</c><00:18:51.799><c> principle.</c>

00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:53.339
And<00:18:52.440><c> so</c><00:18:52.720><c> Mark</c><00:18:53.000><c> says,</c>

00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:56.119
they<00:18:53.819><c> washed</c><00:18:54.240><c> off,</c><00:18:54.819><c> and</c><00:18:54.960><c> look</c><00:18:55.059><c> at</c><00:18:55.140><c> the</c><00:18:55.299><c> margin,</c>

00:18:56.500 --> 00:18:58.740
it<00:18:57.059><c> says,</c><00:18:58.240><c> diligently,</c>

00:18:59.619 --> 00:19:00.279
in<00:18:59.720><c> the</c><00:18:59.940><c> original,</c>

00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:01.900
with<00:19:00.599><c> the</c><00:19:00.839><c> fist.</c>

00:19:02.140 --> 00:19:04.299
Some<00:19:02.339><c> suggest</c><00:19:02.839><c> up</c><00:19:03.160><c> to</c><00:19:03.299><c> the</c><00:19:03.480><c> elbow.</c>

00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:05.980
That's<00:19:04.940><c> what</c><00:19:05.059><c> the</c><00:19:05.279><c> margin</c><00:19:05.599><c> says.</c>

00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:07.380
So<00:19:06.380><c> obviously</c><00:19:07.039><c> there,</c>

00:19:07.460 --> 00:19:09.039
there's<00:19:07.619><c> some</c><00:19:08.000><c> difficulty</c>

00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:12.880
with<00:19:11.000><c> the</c><00:19:11.559><c> original</c><00:19:11.920><c> term.</c>

00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:13.880
Now<00:19:13.299><c> it</c><00:19:13.380><c> literally</c><00:19:13.579><c> means</c>

00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:16.539
with<00:19:14.059><c> the</c><00:19:14.279><c> fist,</c><00:19:14.640><c> unless</c><00:19:14.819><c> they</c><00:19:15.099><c> wash</c><00:19:15.259><c> with</c><00:19:15.460><c> the</c><00:19:15.680><c> fist.</c>

00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:18.440
That's<00:19:17.500><c> why</c><00:19:17.619><c> they</c><00:19:17.880><c> say,</c>

00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:19.700
diligently.

00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:22.000
So<00:19:19.880><c> the</c><00:19:20.119><c> Pharisees</c><00:19:20.680><c> would</c><00:19:20.900><c> go</c><00:19:21.059><c> about</c><00:19:21.279><c> it,</c>

00:19:23.059 --> 00:19:24.579
everyone<00:19:23.619><c> would</c><00:19:23.920><c> see</c><00:19:24.119><c> them</c><00:19:24.299><c> washing.</c>

00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:26.859
You'd<00:19:25.519><c> know</c><00:19:25.740><c> they</c><00:19:25.859><c> were</c><00:19:26.099><c> washing.</c>

00:19:27.420 --> 00:19:29.279
See,<00:19:27.640><c> you</c><00:19:27.740><c> know,</c><00:19:28.039><c> people</c><00:19:28.279><c> make</c><00:19:28.460><c> a</c><00:19:28.579><c> good</c><00:19:28.839><c> fist</c><00:19:29.079><c> of</c><00:19:29.200><c> it.</c>

00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:30.740
That's<00:19:29.660><c> the</c><00:19:29.819><c> idea</c><00:19:30.180><c> of</c><00:19:30.339><c> that</c><00:19:30.519><c> word.</c>

00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:33.619
So<00:19:31.299><c> they</c><00:19:31.380><c> did</c><00:19:31.500><c> it</c><00:19:31.660><c> with</c><00:19:32.039><c> great</c><00:19:32.619><c> gusto.</c>

00:19:34.180 --> 00:19:35.539
Not<00:19:34.339><c> only</c><00:19:34.559><c> that,</c>

00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:36.819
but<00:19:35.799><c> the</c><00:19:35.920><c> word</c><00:19:36.079><c> also</c><00:19:36.460><c> means</c>

00:19:36.819 --> 00:19:38.599
the<00:19:37.140><c> fist,</c><00:19:37.700><c> because</c><00:19:37.880><c> they</c><00:19:38.059><c> used</c><00:19:38.200><c> to</c><00:19:38.420><c> wash</c>

00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:39.759

00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:41.480
And<00:19:40.000><c> depending</c><00:19:40.299><c> upon</c><00:19:40.599><c> where</c><00:19:40.740><c> you</c><00:19:40.960><c> came</c><00:19:41.200><c> from</c>

00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:46.799
Normally,<00:19:45.740><c> for</c><00:19:45.859><c> normal</c><00:19:46.200><c> circumstances,</c>

00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:49.119

00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:50.460
That<00:19:49.579><c> was</c><00:19:49.720><c> what</c><00:19:49.859><c> they</c><00:19:50.119><c> called</c>

00:19:52.660 --> 00:19:54.799
And<00:19:53.059><c> so</c><00:19:53.279><c> they</c><00:19:53.400><c> had</c><00:19:53.599><c> the</c><00:19:53.900><c> various</c>

00:19:57.880 --> 00:19:59.839

00:20:01.579 --> 00:20:02.700
We'll<00:20:01.799><c> comment</c><00:20:01.980><c> upon</c><00:20:02.140><c> that</c><00:20:02.319><c> in</c><00:20:02.400><c> a</c><00:20:02.500><c> minute.</c>

00:20:03.019 --> 00:20:04.440
But<00:20:03.160><c> the</c><00:20:03.380><c> first</c><00:20:03.640><c> washing,</c><00:20:03.940><c> as</c><00:20:04.019><c> they</c><00:20:04.180><c> called</c><00:20:04.339><c> it,</c>

00:20:04.539 --> 00:20:05.900
the<00:20:04.619><c> first</c><00:20:04.940><c> washing</c><00:20:05.259><c> before</c><00:20:05.599><c> the</c><00:20:05.779><c> meal</c>

00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:08.859
And<00:20:07.859><c> when</c><00:20:07.980><c> you</c><00:20:08.180><c> washed</c><00:20:08.359><c> this</c><00:20:08.640><c> time,</c>

00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:10.940
you<00:20:09.000><c> had</c><00:20:09.240><c> to</c><00:20:09.759><c> get</c><00:20:09.940><c> your</c><00:20:10.119><c> hands</c>

00:20:10.980 --> 00:20:12.200
and<00:20:11.380><c> put</c><00:20:11.539><c> them</c><00:20:11.660><c> in</c><00:20:11.740><c> the</c><00:20:11.920><c> water</c>

00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:14.099
and<00:20:12.599><c> then</c><00:20:13.000><c> lift</c><00:20:13.160><c> them</c><00:20:13.299><c> up</c><00:20:13.460><c> like</c><00:20:13.720><c> that</c>

00:20:14.099 --> 00:20:15.200
until<00:20:14.259><c> the</c><00:20:14.480><c> water</c><00:20:14.660><c> ran</c><00:20:14.960><c> down</c>

to<00:20:15.359><c> at</c><00:20:15.500><c> least</c><00:20:15.680><c> to</c><00:20:15.819><c> your</c><00:20:15.980><c> wrist.</c>

00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:18.319
And<00:20:16.299><c> that</c><00:20:16.380><c> got</c><00:20:16.519><c> all</c><00:20:16.720><c> the</c><00:20:16.859><c> pollution</c><00:20:17.099><c> off</c><00:20:17.240><c> your</c><00:20:17.440><c> hands.</c>

00:20:19.180 --> 00:20:20.119
You<00:20:19.259><c> see,</c><00:20:19.579><c> brethren</c><00:20:19.740><c> and</c><00:20:19.940><c> sisters,</c>

00:20:20.180 --> 00:20:21.299
if<00:20:20.279><c> you</c><00:20:20.400><c> want</c><00:20:20.480><c> to</c><00:20:20.579><c> get</c><00:20:20.759><c> clean</c><00:20:21.019><c> hands,</c>

00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:22.759
which<00:20:21.640><c> are</c><00:20:22.019><c> you</c><00:20:22.160><c> doing?</c>

00:20:23.019 --> 00:20:26.559
It<00:20:23.420><c> was</c><00:20:23.700><c> simply</c><00:20:24.119><c> a</c><00:20:24.299><c> matter</c><00:20:24.440><c> of</c><00:20:24.539><c> getting</c><00:20:24.779><c> dirt</c><00:20:25.099><c> off.</c>

00:20:26.819 --> 00:20:28.599
Which<00:20:27.000><c> way</c><00:20:27.299><c> to</c><00:20:27.319><c> do</c><00:20:27.519><c> that?</c>

00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:29.480
I<00:20:29.140><c> know.</c>

00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:31.880
You've<00:20:30.059><c> got</c><00:20:30.099><c> to</c><00:20:30.259><c> hold</c><00:20:30.420><c> your</c><00:20:30.599><c> fingers</c><00:20:30.819><c> up</c><00:20:31.059><c> like</c><00:20:31.319><c> that</c>

00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:34.000
so<00:20:32.299><c> they</c><00:20:32.400><c> actually</c><00:20:32.720><c> see</c><00:20:33.039><c> the</c><00:20:33.240><c> water</c><00:20:33.440><c> run</c><00:20:33.660><c> down</c>

00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:35.559
and<00:20:34.319><c> the</c><00:20:34.599><c> pollution's</c><00:20:35.079><c> down</c><00:20:35.200><c> to</c><00:20:35.319><c> the</c><00:20:35.460><c> wrist.</c>

00:20:35.619 --> 00:20:37.759
Now<00:20:35.900><c> those</c><00:20:36.160><c> hands</c><00:20:36.480><c> are</c><00:20:36.720><c> not</c><00:20:36.960><c> common.</c>

00:20:38.460 --> 00:20:41.180
So<00:20:38.619><c> you</c><00:20:38.740><c> see,</c><00:20:38.940><c> it's</c><00:20:39.079><c> not</c><00:20:39.299><c> so</c><00:20:39.579><c> much</c>

00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:42.460
cleanliness<00:20:41.240><c> that</c><00:20:41.759><c> they're</c><00:20:41.960><c> talking</c><00:20:42.259><c> about.</c>

00:20:42.460 --> 00:20:43.980
It's<00:20:42.619><c> got</c><00:20:42.759><c> a</c><00:20:42.960><c> religious</c><00:20:43.400><c> significance.</c>

00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:45.339
That's<00:20:44.420><c> the</c><00:20:44.559><c> point.</c>

00:20:45.940 --> 00:20:47.960
When<00:20:46.119><c> you</c><00:20:46.460><c> finished</c><00:20:46.920><c> your</c><00:20:47.279><c> meal,</c>

00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:50.380
they<00:20:48.940><c> had</c><00:20:49.039><c> what</c><00:20:49.200><c> they</c><00:20:49.480><c> called</c>

00:20:50.460 --> 00:20:52.000
the<00:20:50.700><c> second</c><00:20:51.099><c> washing.</c>

00:20:52.819 --> 00:20:54.279
So<00:20:53.000><c> that</c><00:20:53.140><c> you'd</c><00:20:53.900><c> wash</c>

00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:55.079
after<00:20:54.779><c> the</c><00:20:55.000><c> meal.</c>

00:20:55.180 --> 00:20:57.480
This<00:20:55.420><c> time</c><00:20:55.819><c> you'd</c><00:20:56.740><c> wash</c><00:20:56.920><c> your</c><00:20:57.200><c> hands</c>

00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:00.059
and<00:20:57.740><c> this</c><00:20:58.000><c> time</c><00:20:58.420><c> you'd</c><00:20:58.839><c> hold</c><00:20:58.920><c> them</c><00:20:59.180><c> down.</c>

00:21:01.019 --> 00:21:01.920
And<00:21:01.220><c> you'd</c><00:21:01.440><c> wash</c><00:21:01.579><c> the</c><00:21:01.799><c> water</c>

00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:03.480
until<00:21:02.079><c> it</c><00:21:02.240><c> dripped</c><00:21:02.400><c> off</c><00:21:02.599><c> the</c><00:21:02.720><c> end</c><00:21:02.859><c> of</c><00:21:02.980><c> your</c><00:21:03.119><c> fingers</c>

00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:06.099
and<00:21:03.960><c> any</c><00:21:04.220><c> pollution</c><00:21:04.619><c> that</c><00:21:04.880><c> may</c><00:21:05.079><c> have</c><00:21:05.299><c> been</c><00:21:05.460><c> in</c><00:21:05.660><c> the</c><00:21:05.859><c> meal</c>

00:21:06.099 --> 00:21:08.099
would<00:21:06.680><c> fall</c><00:21:06.880><c> off</c><00:21:07.059><c> your</c><00:21:07.240><c> fingers.</c>

00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:11.119
And<00:21:09.400><c> all</c><00:21:09.559><c> of</c><00:21:09.660><c> that</c><00:21:09.759><c> was</c><00:21:09.960><c> done,</c><00:21:10.440><c> brethren</c><00:21:10.440><c> and</c><00:21:10.680><c> sisters,</c>

00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:13.519
just<00:21:11.839><c> in</c><00:21:12.079><c> case</c>

00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:16.019
some<00:21:15.000><c> gentile</c><00:21:15.359><c> had</c><00:21:15.640><c> walked</c>

00:21:16.019 --> 00:21:18.740
past<00:21:16.480><c> the</c><00:21:16.680><c> meal</c><00:21:16.740><c> and</c><00:21:16.940><c> breathed</c><00:21:17.299><c> on</c><00:21:17.460><c> it.</c>

00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:20.539
That's<00:21:19.200><c> what</c><00:21:19.259><c> it</c><00:21:19.380><c> was</c><00:21:19.460><c> done</c><00:21:19.700><c> for.</c>

00:21:21.380 --> 00:21:22.339
It<00:21:21.380><c> was</c><00:21:21.480><c> all</c><00:21:21.680><c> about</c><00:21:21.900><c> that.</c>

00:21:22.539 --> 00:21:23.759
It<00:21:22.539><c> was</c><00:21:22.740><c> all</c><00:21:22.940><c> based</c><00:21:23.180><c> upon</c><00:21:23.420><c> a</c><00:21:23.619><c> law.</c>

00:21:23.859 --> 00:21:24.539
I'm<00:21:23.960><c> going</c><00:21:24.039><c> to</c><00:21:24.119><c> show</c><00:21:24.279><c> you</c><00:21:24.359><c> in</c><00:21:24.460><c> a</c><00:21:24.460><c> minute.</c>

00:21:24.619 --> 00:21:26.440
It<00:21:24.619><c> was</c><00:21:24.779><c> based</c><00:21:25.660><c> upon</c><00:21:25.880><c> a</c><00:21:26.079><c> certain</c><00:21:26.279><c> law</c>

00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:27.900
and<00:21:26.500><c> that's</c><00:21:26.680><c> what</c><00:21:26.759><c> it</c><00:21:26.859><c> was</c><00:21:27.039><c> about.</c>

00:21:28.900 --> 00:21:30.819
And<00:21:28.920><c> so</c><00:21:29.099><c> you</c><00:21:29.200><c> ran</c><00:21:30.220><c> them</c><00:21:30.319><c> off</c><00:21:30.500><c> your</c><00:21:30.660><c> hands</c>

00:21:30.819 --> 00:21:32.160
so<00:21:30.960><c> you</c><00:21:30.980><c> could</c><00:21:31.180><c> start</c><00:21:31.380><c> the</c><00:21:31.519><c> meal</c><00:21:31.640><c> when</c><00:21:31.779><c> you</c><00:21:31.960><c> finished</c>

00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:34.339
and<00:21:32.319><c> ran</c><00:21:32.460><c> them</c><00:21:32.619><c> off</c><00:21:32.759><c> the</c><00:21:32.839><c> other</c><00:21:33.000><c> end</c><00:21:33.099><c> like</c><00:21:33.339><c> that.</c>

00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:37.599
And<00:21:34.539><c> that</c><00:21:34.640><c> used</c><00:21:34.799><c> to</c><00:21:34.920><c> be</c><00:21:35.119><c> called</c><00:21:35.640><c> the</c><00:21:36.220><c> second</c><00:21:36.759><c> washing.</c>

00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:39.619
Now<00:21:38.920><c> it's</c><00:21:39.140><c> interesting</c>

00:21:39.619 --> 00:21:42.119
if<00:21:39.740><c> you</c><00:21:39.900><c> come</c><00:21:40.119><c> back</c><00:21:40.259><c> to</c><00:21:40.359><c> John</c><00:21:40.599><c> chapter</c><00:21:40.960><c> 2</c>

Jesus<00:21:44.759><c> went</c><00:21:44.960><c> to</c><00:21:45.160><c> a</c><00:21:45.359><c> feast</c>

00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:49.579
I<00:21:49.240><c> find</c><00:21:49.420><c> this</c>

00:21:49.579 --> 00:21:51.700
very<00:21:49.759><c> interesting</c><00:21:50.180><c> here.</c>

00:21:51.859 --> 00:21:53.519
We<00:21:52.180><c> know</c><00:21:52.400><c> the</c><00:21:52.579><c> record,</c><00:21:52.819><c> this</c><00:21:52.920><c> was</c><00:21:53.079><c> the</c><00:21:53.240><c> first</c>

00:21:58.599 --> 00:21:59.759
We<00:21:58.700><c> read</c><00:21:58.920><c> in</c><00:21:59.119><c> verse</c><00:21:59.420><c> 6</c>

00:26:43.140 --> 00:26:45.099
And<00:26:43.400><c> they</c><00:26:43.640><c> openly</c><00:26:44.079><c> said</c><00:26:44.440><c> that.</c><00:26:44.759><c> It</c><00:26:44.819><c> wasn't</c>

00:26:45.099 --> 00:26:46.940
that<00:26:45.440><c> they</c><00:26:45.640><c> just</c><00:26:45.900><c> nullified</c><00:26:46.279><c> the</c><00:26:46.400><c> word</c><00:26:46.579><c> of</c><00:26:46.740><c> God.</c>

00:26:46.940 --> 00:26:49.140
It<00:26:47.279><c> was</c><00:26:47.519><c> said</c><00:26:47.740><c> in</c><00:26:47.960><c> the</c><00:26:48.140><c> end</c><00:26:48.480><c> that</c><00:26:48.819><c> those</c>

00:26:49.140 --> 00:26:51.819
traditions<00:26:49.579><c> were</c><00:26:50.019><c> above</c><00:26:50.759><c> the</c><00:26:51.000><c> law.</c>

00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:53.039
But<00:26:52.400><c> it</c><00:26:52.519><c> never</c><00:26:52.779><c> started</c>

00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:54.339
like<00:26:53.319><c> that.</c>

00:26:54.859 --> 00:26:56.920
It<00:26:55.039><c> started</c><00:26:55.279><c> out</c><00:26:55.559><c> as</c><00:26:55.720><c> these</c><00:26:55.940><c> oral</c><00:26:56.140><c> traditions</c><00:26:56.500><c> and</c><00:26:56.660><c> why</c>

00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:58.519
did<00:26:57.039><c> they</c><00:26:57.240><c> start</c><00:26:57.640><c> them?</c>

00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:01.200
The<00:26:59.000><c> reason</c><00:26:59.339><c> was</c><00:26:59.619><c> brethren</c><00:26:59.880><c> and</c><00:27:00.079><c> sisters</c><00:27:00.279><c> it</c><00:27:00.380><c> was</c><00:27:00.599><c> based</c><00:27:00.900><c> upon</c>

00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:03.440
the<00:27:01.480><c> unclean</c><00:27:02.000><c> laws</c><00:27:02.339><c> of</c><00:27:02.539><c> Leviticus</c>

00:27:03.779 --> 00:27:05.099
from<00:27:04.200><c> chapter</c><00:27:04.599><c> 11</c>

00:27:05.099 --> 00:27:07.000
through<00:27:05.380><c> to</c><00:27:05.559><c> chapter</c><00:27:05.799><c> 15.</c>

00:27:07.339 --> 00:27:09.079
It<00:27:07.539><c> was</c><00:27:07.700><c> all</c><00:27:07.900><c> based</c><00:27:08.200><c> upon</c><00:27:08.599><c> those</c>

00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:11.420
laws<00:27:09.440><c> there.</c><00:27:09.779><c> Now</c><00:27:09.940><c> this</c><00:27:10.079><c> is</c><00:27:10.240><c> the</c><00:27:10.460><c> point.</c>

00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:12.960
And<00:27:12.539><c> the</c><00:27:12.700><c> idea</c>

00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:14.940
of<00:27:13.119><c> the</c><00:27:13.279><c> oral</c><00:27:13.480><c> traditions</c><00:27:13.980><c> was</c><00:27:14.500><c> as</c>

00:27:14.940 --> 00:27:17.099
the<00:27:15.259><c> rabbis</c><00:27:15.480><c> said</c><00:27:15.799><c> we</c><00:27:16.000><c> want</c><00:27:16.259><c> to</c><00:27:16.339><c> put</c><00:27:16.500><c> a</c><00:27:16.759><c> fence</c>

00:27:17.099 --> 00:27:18.640
about<00:27:17.599><c> the</c><00:27:17.839><c> law.</c>

00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:20.660
So<00:27:19.059><c> the</c><00:27:19.200><c> law</c><00:27:19.500><c> said</c><00:27:20.000><c> this</c>

00:27:20.660 --> 00:27:23.440
about<00:27:21.599><c> pollutions</c><00:27:22.200><c> and</c><00:27:22.539><c> washings.</c>

00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:24.960
Now<00:27:24.259><c> that's</c><00:27:24.319><c> what</c><00:27:24.440><c> the</c><00:27:24.619><c> law</c><00:27:24.779><c> said.</c>

00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:27.880
Now<00:27:25.180><c> what</c><00:27:25.240><c> the</c><00:27:25.400><c> law</c><00:27:25.559><c> had</c><00:27:25.859><c> said</c><00:27:26.000><c> of</c><00:27:26.180><c> course</c><00:27:26.359><c> was</c><00:27:26.559><c> all</c><00:27:26.859><c> sufficient.</c>

00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:29.019
But<00:27:28.299><c> they</c><00:27:28.559><c> felt</c><00:27:28.799><c> that</c>

00:27:29.019 --> 00:27:31.440
in<00:27:29.319><c> circumstances</c><00:27:29.819><c> of</c><00:27:30.119><c> life</c><00:27:30.420><c> where</c>

00:27:31.460 --> 00:27:33.000
perhaps<00:27:32.000><c> in</c><00:27:32.500><c> different</c>

00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:34.819
eras<00:27:33.680><c> and</c><00:27:33.960><c> different</c><00:27:34.220><c> societies</c>

00:27:34.819 --> 00:27:37.059
issues<00:27:35.759><c> may</c><00:27:36.099><c> arise</c><00:27:36.400><c> not</c><00:27:36.700><c> covered</c>

00:27:37.059 --> 00:27:39.059
by<00:27:37.319><c> the</c><00:27:37.480><c> law,</c><00:27:38.119><c> they</c><00:27:38.279><c> would</c><00:27:38.759><c> hedge</c>

00:27:39.059 --> 00:27:40.779
that<00:27:39.380><c> about</c><00:27:39.740><c> by</c><00:27:40.440><c> certain</c>

00:27:40.779 --> 00:27:43.339
traditions.<00:27:41.380><c> Now</c><00:27:41.599><c> there's</c><00:27:41.859><c> nothing</c><00:27:42.039><c> wrong</c><00:27:42.299><c> with</c><00:27:42.519><c> that.</c>

00:27:45.200 --> 00:27:46.500
For<00:27:45.599><c> example</c>

00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:49.019
I<00:27:47.559><c> don't</c><00:27:47.779><c> know</c><00:27:47.980><c> in</c><00:27:48.140><c> the</c><00:27:48.299><c> Bible</c><00:27:48.559><c> where</c><00:27:48.740><c> I</c><00:27:48.880><c> could</c>

00:27:49.019 --> 00:27:51.799
find<00:27:49.240><c> a</c><00:27:49.420><c> verse</c><00:27:49.660><c> to</c><00:27:49.900><c> tell</c><00:27:50.059><c> you</c><00:27:50.140><c> that</c><00:27:50.259><c> we</c><00:27:50.400><c> shouldn't</c><00:27:50.700><c> smoke.</c>

00:27:53.339 --> 00:27:55.440
But<00:27:53.440><c> we</c><00:27:53.559><c> don't</c><00:27:53.779><c> want</c><00:27:53.920><c> our</c><00:27:54.059><c> young</c><00:27:54.200><c> people</c><00:27:54.420><c> smoking.</c>

00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:57.019
We<00:27:56.619><c> don't</c><00:27:56.700><c> want</c><00:27:56.799><c> anybody</c>

00:27:57.019 --> 00:27:57.960
smoking.

00:27:58.900 --> 00:28:00.779
We<00:27:59.079><c> can't</c><00:27:59.339><c> find</c><00:27:59.500><c> a</c><00:27:59.680><c> chapter</c><00:27:59.880><c> and</c><00:28:00.039><c> verse</c><00:28:00.200><c> for</c><00:28:00.380><c> that</c><00:28:00.500><c> can</c><00:28:00.700><c> we?</c>

00:28:00.859 --> 00:28:03.319
And<00:28:00.940><c> there's</c><00:28:01.059><c> a</c><00:28:01.200><c> host</c><00:28:01.380><c> of</c><00:28:01.519><c> things</c><00:28:01.720><c> like</c><00:28:01.980><c> that</c><00:28:02.140><c> brethren</c><00:28:02.359><c> and</c><00:28:02.619><c> sisters.</c>

00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:04.819
You<00:28:03.740><c> would</c><00:28:03.940><c> never</c><00:28:04.119><c> find</c><00:28:04.359><c> in</c><00:28:04.480><c> the</c><00:28:04.579><c> Scriptures</c>

00:28:09.559 --> 00:28:10.940
We<00:28:09.960><c> can't</c><00:28:10.259><c> find</c><00:28:10.460><c> a</c><00:28:10.720><c> chapter</c>

00:28:11.980 --> 00:28:14.599
So<00:28:12.779><c> we</c><00:28:12.980><c> try</c><00:28:13.400><c> and</c><00:28:13.859><c> by</c><00:28:14.079><c> our</c>

00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:16.220

those<00:28:18.339><c> things</c><00:28:18.539><c> lead</c><00:28:18.720><c> us</c><00:28:18.880><c> away</c><00:28:19.079><c> from</c><00:28:19.299><c> God.</c>

00:28:20.700 --> 00:28:22.519
They<00:28:20.839><c> will</c><00:28:21.099><c> pollute</c><00:28:21.380><c> the</c><00:28:21.619><c> mind.</c>

00:28:23.180 --> 00:28:25.200

00:28:25.299 --> 00:28:26.119

00:29:20.339 --> 00:29:22.420
here<00:29:20.740><c> really</c><00:29:21.079><c> is</c><00:29:21.319><c> the</c><00:29:21.480><c> sake</c><00:29:21.720><c> of</c><00:29:21.859><c> that</c><00:29:22.019><c> principle,</c>

But<00:29:24.660><c> like</c><00:29:24.900><c> I</c><00:29:25.140><c> said,</c>

00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:27.880
there<00:29:26.279><c> was</c><00:29:26.460><c> one</c><00:29:26.799><c> Pharisee</c><00:29:27.200><c> who</c><00:29:27.299><c> was</c><00:29:27.480><c> more</c>

00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:46.480
We<00:29:44.559><c> should</c><00:29:44.759><c> never</c><00:29:44.960><c> do</c><00:29:45.220><c> that.</c><00:29:46.160><c> You</c><00:29:46.299><c> know,</c>

of<00:44:19.719><c> the</c><00:44:19.800><c> Old</c><00:44:20.000><c> Testament</c><00:44:20.239><c> where</c><00:44:20.420><c> I</c><00:44:20.500><c> want</c><00:44:20.639><c> to</c><00:44:20.760><c> finish</c><00:44:20.980><c> this</c><00:44:21.219><c> evening</c>

00:44:21.519 --> 00:44:23.280
because<00:44:21.820><c> I</c><00:44:21.940><c> want</c><00:44:22.059><c> to</c><00:44:22.219><c> show</c><00:44:22.360><c> you</c><00:44:22.500><c> something</c><00:44:22.719><c> about</c><00:44:23.019><c> this.</c>

00:44:23.420 --> 00:44:24.980
It's<00:44:23.639><c> rather</c><00:44:23.920><c> incredible.</c>

00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:27.039
And<00:44:25.539><c> so</c><00:44:25.639><c> we</c><00:44:25.739><c> come</c><00:44:25.900><c> back</c><00:44:26.119><c> to</c><00:44:26.260><c> Mark</c><00:44:26.500><c> chapter</c><00:44:26.780><c> 7</c>

00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:28.639

00:44:28.639 --> 00:44:31.699
They<00:44:29.440><c> hold</c><00:44:29.780><c> the</c><00:44:30.059><c> tradition</c><00:44:30.380><c> of</c><00:44:30.559><c> washing</c><00:44:31.059><c> cups,</c>

00:44:32.039 --> 00:44:32.980
which<00:44:32.159><c> speaks</c><00:44:32.460><c> for</c><00:44:32.619><c> itself.</c>

00:44:33.079 --> 00:44:34.539
The<00:44:33.119><c> word</c><00:44:33.360><c> pots</c><00:44:33.679><c> means</c><00:44:34.000><c> a</c><00:44:34.260><c> measure,</c>

00:44:34.739 --> 00:44:36.960
anything<00:44:34.920><c> you'd</c><00:44:35.280><c> use</c><00:44:35.440><c> to</c><00:44:35.619><c> measure</c><00:44:35.840><c> food</c><00:44:36.159><c> with,</c>

00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:38.820
brazen<00:44:37.460><c> vessels,</c><00:44:38.059><c> of</c><00:44:38.059><c> course,</c><00:44:38.340><c> which</c><00:44:38.460><c> they</c><00:44:38.639><c> would</c>

00:44:38.820 --> 00:44:40.679
use<00:44:39.019><c> in</c><00:44:39.179><c> the</c><00:44:39.340><c> meal,</c><00:44:39.920><c> and</c><00:44:40.079><c> of</c><00:44:40.340><c> tables.</c>

00:44:40.900 --> 00:44:42.860
The<00:44:41.179><c> margin</c><00:44:41.500><c> says</c><00:44:41.780><c> concerning</c><00:44:42.179><c> the</c><00:44:42.500><c> tables</c>

00:44:42.860 --> 00:44:44.320
there<00:44:43.159><c> that</c><00:44:43.480><c> it's</c><00:44:44.019><c> beds.</c>

00:44:44.480 --> 00:44:46.920
And<00:44:44.619><c> that's</c><00:44:44.760><c> right.</c><00:44:45.699><c> The</c><00:44:45.820><c> word</c><00:44:45.960><c> doesn't</c><00:44:46.199><c> even</c>

00:44:48.559 --> 00:44:50.659
It<00:44:48.739><c> really</c><00:44:49.019><c> means</c><00:44:49.239><c> that</c><00:44:49.539><c> couch</c><00:44:49.960><c> where</c><00:44:50.400><c> you</c>

00:44:52.860 --> 00:44:54.639
I<00:44:53.139><c> don't</c><00:44:53.219><c> even</c><00:44:53.420><c> wash</c><00:44:53.659><c> that.</c>

00:44:54.760 --> 00:44:56.760
And<00:44:54.920><c> they</c><00:44:55.059><c> did.</c><00:44:55.820><c> So</c><00:44:55.980><c> they'd</c><00:44:56.199><c> go</c><00:44:56.260><c> over</c><00:44:56.500><c> everything.</c>

00:44:56.760 --> 00:44:59.219
They<00:44:57.139><c> had</c><00:44:57.539><c> a</c><00:44:57.659><c> law,</c><00:44:57.860><c> you</c><00:44:57.960><c> see,</c><00:44:58.340><c> which</c><00:44:58.420><c> said</c>

00:44:59.219 --> 00:45:01.059
anything<00:44:59.639><c> that</c><00:44:59.780><c> was</c><00:44:59.980><c> metal,</c><00:45:00.539><c> like</c><00:45:00.599><c> brass,</c>

00:45:01.300 --> 00:45:02.300
you<00:45:01.500><c> scar</c><00:45:01.699><c> it.</c>

00:45:02.579 --> 00:45:04.460
Which<00:45:02.739><c> the</c><00:45:02.860><c> law</c><00:45:02.980><c> of</c><00:45:03.119><c> Moses</c><00:45:03.420><c> had</c><00:45:03.699><c> said,</c><00:45:04.460><c> anyway.</c>

00:45:04.920 --> 00:45:06.980
Anything<00:45:05.159><c> that</c><00:45:05.400><c> was</c><00:45:05.719><c> wood</c><00:45:06.019><c> or</c>

earthenware,<00:45:07.960><c> if</c><00:45:08.099><c> it</c><00:45:08.199><c> had</c><00:45:08.320><c> been</c><00:45:08.420><c> near</c><00:45:08.659><c> a</c><00:45:08.780><c> gentile,</c>

00:45:09.099 --> 00:45:10.280
you<00:45:09.219><c> break</c><00:45:09.480><c> it.</c>

00:45:10.440 --> 00:45:12.400
Because<00:45:10.760><c> it</c><00:45:10.840><c> would</c><00:45:11.059><c> be</c><00:45:11.280><c> impregnated,</c><00:45:11.820><c> you</c><00:45:11.920><c> wouldn't</c><00:45:12.119><c> get</c><00:45:12.260><c> it</c>

00:45:12.400 --> 00:45:12.559
out<00:45:12.500><c> of</c><00:45:12.559><c> it.</c>

00:45:12.619 --> 00:45:14.639
The<00:45:12.739><c> law</c><00:45:12.880><c> said</c><00:45:13.079><c> that</c><00:45:13.400><c> too,</c><00:45:13.619><c> but</c><00:45:13.739><c> it</c><00:45:13.820><c> didn't</c><00:45:14.019><c> say</c><00:45:14.119><c> it</c><00:45:14.260><c> about</c>

00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:16.159
the<00:45:14.780><c> way</c><00:45:14.880><c> they</c><00:45:15.139><c> applied</c><00:45:15.400><c> it.</c>

00:45:16.760 --> 00:45:18.159
And<00:45:16.900><c> so</c><00:45:17.019><c> you</c><00:45:17.099><c> see,</c><00:45:17.340><c> they</c><00:45:17.480><c> did</c><00:45:17.679><c> these</c><00:45:17.980><c> things.</c>

00:45:18.280 --> 00:45:20.079
Now<00:45:18.500><c> you</c><00:45:18.619><c> might</c><00:45:18.820><c> have</c><00:45:19.000><c> a</c><00:45:19.219><c> couch</c><00:45:19.360><c> there.</c>

00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:21.860
Well,<00:45:20.360><c> you</c><00:45:20.440><c> think</c><00:45:20.659><c> the</c><00:45:20.900><c> couch</c><00:45:21.079><c> is</c><00:45:21.280><c> reasonably</c><00:45:21.539><c> clean,</c><00:45:21.760><c> you</c>

00:45:21.860 --> 00:45:22.500
wouldn't<00:45:22.059><c> bother</c><00:45:22.300><c> with</c><00:45:22.400><c> it.</c>

00:45:22.500 --> 00:45:24.480
They<00:45:22.659><c> did.</c><00:45:23.820><c> Who</c><00:45:24.039><c> knows?</c>

00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:26.619
You<00:45:24.880><c> never</c><00:45:25.260><c> know.</c><00:45:25.780><c> A</c><00:45:25.820><c> gentile</c><00:45:26.139><c> might</c><00:45:26.340><c> have</c><00:45:26.460><c> come</c>

00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:30.480
before<00:45:29.179><c> you</c><00:45:29.400><c> eat.</c>

00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:32.900
Tell<00:45:31.059><c> you</c><00:45:31.199><c> what,</c><00:45:31.519><c> it</c><00:45:31.559><c> was</c><00:45:31.699><c> a</c><00:45:31.760><c> lot</c><00:45:31.900><c> of</c><00:45:32.059><c> work.</c>

00:45:33.239 --> 00:45:34.539
I<00:45:33.239><c> mean,</c><00:45:33.480><c> we</c><00:45:33.579><c> have</c><00:45:33.679><c> our</c><00:45:33.840><c> children</c><00:45:34.139><c> complaining</c>

It's<00:48:02.050><c> incredible.</c>

00:48:53.750 --> 00:48:55.409
sisters,<00:48:54.110><c> which</c><00:48:54.250><c> means</c>

00:49:00.710 --> 00:49:01.489
And<00:49:00.849><c> if</c><00:49:01.030><c> we</c><00:49:01.250><c> were</c>

00:49:01.489 --> 00:49:03.769

00:49:05.809 --> 00:49:07.190
It's<00:49:06.050><c> like</c><00:49:06.190><c> him</c><00:49:06.449><c> saying</c><00:49:06.670><c> to</c><00:49:06.829><c> them,</c>

That's<00:49:14.329><c> exactly</c><00:49:14.730><c> how</c><00:49:14.909><c> we</c><00:49:15.030><c> would</c><00:49:15.210><c> express</c>

00:49:18.030 --> 00:49:19.349

How<00:49:21.949><c> beautiful</c><00:49:22.550><c> did</c><00:49:22.789><c> Isaiah</c><00:49:23.170><c> put</c><00:49:23.409><c> it?</c>
