00:07:14.180 --> 00:07:15.540
There<00:07:14.300><c> were</c><00:07:14.420><c> other</c><00:07:14.579><c> pools</c><00:07:14.779><c> throughout</c><00:07:15.019><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:23.519
You<00:07:19.779><c> can</c><00:07:20.259><c> imagine</c><00:07:20.779><c> the</c><00:07:20.980><c> blind</c><00:07:21.120><c> man</c><00:07:21.300><c> thinking,</c><00:07:22.180><c> that</c><00:07:22.480><c> far?</c>

00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:38.480
Here's<00:07:37.519><c> the</c><00:07:37.660><c> man</c><00:07:37.860><c> that</c><00:07:37.959><c> they've</c><00:07:38.139><c> always</c><00:07:38.360><c> seen</c>

Oh,<00:07:43.860><c> there</c><00:07:44.120><c> he</c><00:07:44.339><c> is.</c>

00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.639
Hey,<00:07:45.480><c> you</c><00:07:45.660><c> have</c><00:07:45.839><c> something</c><00:07:46.120><c> on</c><00:07:46.259><c> your</c><00:07:46.540><c> face.</c>

00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:48.699
Right?

00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:53.959
Here's<00:07:50.319><c> a</c><00:07:50.500><c> man</c><00:07:50.920><c> who</c><00:07:51.259><c> has</c><00:07:51.500><c> mud</c><00:07:51.740><c> all</c><00:07:51.980><c> over</c><00:07:52.160><c> his</c><00:07:52.420><c> face,</c>

00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:59.240

00:08:03.860 --> 00:08:06.079
Now<00:08:04.279><c> we're</c><00:08:04.439><c> told</c><00:08:04.620><c> in</c><00:08:04.740><c> verse</c><00:08:04.899><c> seven,</c>

00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:24.819
He<00:08:22.540><c> had</c><00:08:22.759><c> never</c><00:08:23.139><c> seen</c><00:08:23.620><c> anything</c><00:08:24.040><c> in</c><00:08:24.240><c> his</c><00:08:24.439><c> life.</c>

00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.160
So<00:08:25.379><c> he</c><00:08:25.560><c> washes,</c><00:08:26.240><c> and</c><00:08:26.319><c> you</c><00:08:26.399><c> can</c><00:08:26.600><c> imagine</c><00:08:26.839><c> him</c>

00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:35.840
He<00:08:34.759><c> can</c><00:08:34.940><c> see</c><00:08:35.039><c> everything</c><00:08:35.320><c> around</c><00:08:35.620><c> him,</c>

00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:00.399
He's<00:08:58.899><c> going</c><00:08:59.000><c> to</c><00:08:59.100><c> be</c><00:08:59.220><c> betrayed</c><00:08:59.500><c> by</c><00:08:59.700><c> his</c><00:08:59.840><c> own</c><00:09:00.039><c> parents,</c>

But<00:09:27.759><c> he</c><00:09:27.899><c> said,</c><00:09:28.720><c> I</c><00:09:28.940><c> am</c><00:09:29.139><c> he.</c>

00:09:29.460 --> 00:09:30.379
It's<00:09:29.740><c> me.</c>

00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:32.240

00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:37.879
Therefore<00:09:34.519><c> said</c><00:09:34.720><c> they</c><00:09:34.899><c> unto</c><00:09:35.039><c> him,</c><00:09:36.340><c> how</c><00:09:36.440><c> are</c><00:09:36.539><c> thine</c><00:09:36.700><c> eyes</c><00:09:36.899><c> opened?</c>

00:09:38.460 --> 00:09:42.179
He<00:09:38.899><c> answered</c><00:09:39.139><c> and</c><00:09:39.299><c> said,</c><00:09:40.000><c> a</c><00:09:40.100><c> man</c><00:09:40.279><c> that</c><00:09:40.419><c> is</c><00:09:40.559><c> called</c><00:09:40.679><c> Jesus</c><00:09:41.299><c> made</c><00:09:41.840><c> clay</c>

00:09:42.179 --> 00:09:44.179

00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:49.399
And<00:09:46.139><c> I</c><00:09:46.299><c> went</c><00:09:46.480><c> and</c><00:09:46.799><c> washed,</c><00:09:47.820><c> and</c><00:09:48.159><c> I</c><00:09:48.320><c> received</c><00:09:48.519><c> sight.</c>

00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:53.759
Then<00:09:51.759><c> said</c><00:09:51.899><c> they</c><00:09:52.059><c> unto</c><00:09:52.240><c> him,</c><00:09:52.519><c> where</c><00:09:52.700><c> is</c><00:09:52.899><c> he?</c>

00:09:54.019 --> 00:09:55.940
He<00:09:54.340><c> said,</c><00:09:54.679><c> I</c><00:09:54.860><c> know</c><00:09:55.000><c> not.</c>

00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:02.840
Yet<00:10:00.200><c> there</c><00:10:00.340><c> was</c><00:10:00.759><c> a</c><00:10:00.960><c> blemish</c><00:10:01.299><c> in</c><00:10:01.419><c> the</c><00:10:01.639><c> excitement.</c>

00:10:03.539 --> 00:10:05.759
Something<00:10:03.779><c> that</c><00:10:04.139><c> wasn't</c><00:10:04.419><c> quite</c><00:10:04.740><c> right</c><00:10:04.940><c> about</c><00:10:05.139><c> what</c><00:10:05.279><c> had</c><00:10:05.460><c> happened</c>

00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:08.120
because<00:10:06.080><c> you</c><00:10:06.279><c> see</c><00:10:06.379><c> the</c><00:10:06.500><c> day</c><00:10:06.720><c> was</c><00:10:07.059><c> a</c><00:10:07.320><c> Sabbath,</c>

00:10:08.460 --> 00:10:10.399
as<00:10:08.620><c> we're</c><00:10:08.779><c> told</c><00:10:08.919><c> in</c><00:10:09.080><c> verse</c><00:10:09.240><c> 14.</c>

00:10:10.799 --> 00:10:13.539
And<00:10:10.940><c> the</c><00:10:11.059><c> problem</c><00:10:11.340><c> was</c><00:10:11.799><c> that</c><00:10:12.259><c> this</c><00:10:12.480><c> wasn't</c><00:10:12.759><c> the</c><00:10:12.940><c> first</c><00:10:13.200><c> time</c>

00:10:13.539 --> 00:10:15.240

00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:16.740
We<00:10:15.419><c> talked</c><00:10:15.639><c> about</c><00:10:15.779><c> the</c><00:10:15.960><c> other</c><00:10:16.080><c> one</c><00:10:16.179><c> yesterday</c>

00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:21.820
And<00:10:19.120><c> because</c><00:10:19.320><c> of</c><00:10:19.500><c> that,</c><00:10:20.100><c> the</c><00:10:20.279><c> Jews</c><00:10:20.519><c> had</c><00:10:20.980><c> sought</c><00:10:21.139><c> to</c><00:10:21.399><c> kill</c><00:10:21.539><c> him.</c>

00:10:21.820 --> 00:10:25.440
And<00:10:22.120><c> from</c><00:10:22.340><c> that</c><00:10:22.600><c> time</c><00:10:22.820><c> forward,</c><00:10:23.480><c> they</c><00:10:23.679><c> had</c><00:10:23.840><c> wanted</c><00:10:23.960><c> to</c><00:10:24.159><c> kill</c><00:10:24.279><c> him.</c>

00:10:26.179 --> 00:10:28.539
And<00:10:26.620><c> now</c><00:10:26.799><c> he</c><00:10:26.860><c> did</c><00:10:27.000><c> it</c><00:10:27.139><c> again.</c>

00:10:29.419 --> 00:10:30.740
He<00:10:29.559><c> hadn't</c><00:10:29.840><c> stopped.</c>

00:10:32.379 --> 00:10:34.759
And<00:10:32.679><c> so</c><00:10:32.779><c> the</c><00:10:32.899><c> neighbors</c><00:10:33.080><c> say,</c><00:10:33.700><c> well,</c><00:10:33.919><c> friend,</c><00:10:34.179><c> we're</c><00:10:34.480><c> happy</c>

00:10:47.639 --> 00:10:49.879
You<00:10:47.759><c> have</c><00:10:47.899><c> to</c><00:10:48.000><c> talk</c><00:10:48.139><c> to</c><00:10:48.220><c> them</c><00:10:48.539><c> about</c><00:10:48.799><c> this.</c>

00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:52.700
And<00:10:51.000><c> so</c><00:10:51.139><c> verse</c><00:10:51.279><c> 13,</c><00:10:51.740><c> they</c><00:10:51.820><c> brought</c><00:10:52.019><c> to</c><00:10:52.139><c> the</c><00:10:52.320><c> Pharisees,</c>

00:10:52.700 --> 00:10:55.460
and<00:10:52.700><c> told</c><00:10:52.700><c> him</c><00:10:52.860><c> that</c><00:10:53.059><c> a</c><00:10:53.159><c> four</c><00:10:53.340><c>-time</c><00:10:53.480><c> was</c><00:10:53.639><c> blind,</c>

00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:01.860
So<00:10:59.600><c> now</c><00:10:59.700><c> he</c><00:10:59.840><c> stands</c><00:11:00.100><c> in</c><00:11:00.259><c> front</c><00:11:00.360><c> of</c><00:11:00.480><c> the</c><00:11:00.580><c> religious</c><00:11:00.879><c> leaders</c>

00:11:09.580 --> 00:11:12.360
Again,<00:11:09.799><c> he</c><00:11:10.679><c> made</c><00:11:11.080><c> clay</c><00:11:11.360><c> and</c><00:11:11.519><c> he</c><00:11:11.639><c> put</c><00:11:11.759><c> it</c><00:11:11.840><c> on</c><00:11:12.000><c> my</c><00:11:12.200><c> eyes</c>

And<00:11:41.080><c> he's</c><00:11:41.259><c> looking</c><00:11:41.440><c> at</c><00:11:41.639><c> them</c>

00:11:41.779 --> 00:11:43.600
and<00:11:41.840><c> they're</c><00:11:42.039><c> having</c><00:11:42.200><c> these</c><00:11:42.399><c> arguments</c><00:11:42.820><c> in</c><00:11:43.000><c> front</c><00:11:43.059><c> of</c><00:11:43.200><c> each</c><00:11:43.340><c> other.</c>

00:11:43.820 --> 00:11:47.340
And<00:11:44.000><c> then,</c><00:11:44.500><c> in</c><00:11:45.080><c> fact,</c><00:11:45.840><c> verse</c><00:11:45.960><c> 17,</c>

00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:51.759
they<00:11:48.440><c> turn</c><00:11:48.720><c> to</c><00:11:48.879><c> him</c><00:11:49.360><c> and</c><00:11:49.860><c> they</c><00:11:50.080><c> ask</c><00:11:50.299><c> him</c><00:11:50.580><c> what</c><00:11:50.779><c> he</c><00:11:51.039><c> thinks.</c>

00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:55.419
Then<00:11:53.679><c> say</c><00:11:53.899><c> they</c><00:11:54.059><c> unto</c><00:11:54.159><c> the</c><00:11:54.360><c> blind</c><00:11:54.539><c> man</c><00:11:54.759><c> again,</c>

00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:57.919
what<00:11:55.919><c> sayest</c><00:11:56.299><c> thou</c><00:11:56.440><c> of</c><00:11:56.539><c> him</c><00:11:56.759><c> that</c><00:11:56.940><c> he</c><00:11:57.059><c> hath</c><00:11:57.179><c> opened</c><00:11:57.419><c> thine</c><00:11:57.600><c> eyes?</c>

00:11:58.179 --> 00:11:59.879
What<00:11:58.379><c> do</c><00:11:58.460><c> you</c><00:11:58.600><c> think</c><00:11:58.759><c> of</c><00:11:58.840><c> him?</c>

00:12:01.419 --> 00:12:03.440
Again,<00:12:02.159><c> you</c><00:12:02.179><c> just</c><00:12:02.299><c> picture</c><00:12:02.480><c> the</c><00:12:02.679><c> man.</c>

00:12:03.980 --> 00:12:05.980
You're<00:12:04.340><c> the</c><00:12:04.440><c> ones</c><00:12:04.600><c> that</c><00:12:04.740><c> are</c><00:12:04.879><c> supposed</c><00:12:05.039><c> to</c><00:12:05.240><c> teach</c><00:12:05.379><c> me</c>

00:12:05.980 --> 00:12:08.639
and<00:12:06.340><c> now</c><00:12:06.519><c> you're</c><00:12:06.820><c> asking</c><00:12:07.000><c> me</c><00:12:07.279><c> what</c><00:12:07.399><c> I</c><00:12:07.700><c> think?</c>

00:12:09.379 --> 00:12:12.299
And<00:12:09.500><c> so</c><00:12:09.580><c> he</c><00:12:09.700><c> says,</c><00:12:10.039><c> well,</c><00:12:10.639><c> I</c><00:12:10.980><c> think</c><00:12:11.139><c> he's</c><00:12:11.360><c> a</c><00:12:11.539><c> prophet.</c>

00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:17.259
So<00:12:14.279><c> now,</c><00:12:15.179><c> the</c><00:12:15.299><c> religious</c><00:12:15.580><c> leaders</c><00:12:15.799><c> are</c><00:12:15.980><c> quite</c><00:12:16.179><c> frustrated.</c>

00:12:17.419 --> 00:12:18.659
They've<00:12:17.820><c> gotten</c><00:12:18.000><c> to</c><00:12:18.139><c> this</c><00:12:18.340><c> point,</c>

00:12:19.139 --> 00:12:21.440
they<00:12:19.279><c> can't,</c><00:12:19.940><c> they're</c><00:12:20.139><c> not</c><00:12:20.340><c> entirely</c><00:12:20.720><c> sure</c><00:12:20.899><c> what</c><00:12:21.059><c> to</c><00:12:21.240><c> do,</c>

00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:23.220
so<00:12:21.659><c> they've</c><00:12:21.879><c> come</c><00:12:21.980><c> up</c><00:12:22.100><c> with</c><00:12:22.220><c> a</c><00:12:22.419><c> plan.</c>

00:12:23.779 --> 00:12:26.440
Instead<00:12:23.960><c> of</c><00:12:24.200><c> admitting</c><00:12:24.580><c> that</c><00:12:24.980><c> a</c><00:12:25.120><c> miracle</c><00:12:25.399><c> has</c><00:12:25.620><c> taken</c><00:12:25.799><c> place,</c>

00:12:26.899 --> 00:12:28.740
what<00:12:27.059><c> they'll</c><00:12:27.279><c> do</c><00:12:27.679><c> is</c><00:12:28.259><c> prove</c>

00:12:28.740 --> 00:12:32.220
that<00:12:29.419><c> this</c><00:12:29.740><c> man</c><00:12:29.940><c> never</c><00:12:30.279><c> was</c><00:12:30.539><c> blind</c><00:12:30.759><c> to</c><00:12:30.960><c> begin</c><00:12:31.139><c> with.</c>

00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:34.039
And<00:12:32.659><c> then</c><00:12:32.779><c> they</c><00:12:32.840><c> won't</c><00:12:32.980><c> have</c><00:12:33.159><c> anything</c><00:12:33.340><c> to</c><00:12:33.519><c> worry</c><00:12:33.679><c> about.</c>

00:12:34.340 --> 00:12:36.240
So<00:12:34.480><c> they</c><00:12:34.600><c> say,</c><00:12:35.000><c> well,</c><00:12:35.039><c> you</c><00:12:35.159><c> know</c><00:12:35.360><c> what?</c>

00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:38.019
Why<00:12:36.659><c> don't</c><00:12:36.779><c> we</c><00:12:36.919><c> just</c><00:12:37.159><c> call</c><00:12:37.340><c> in</c><00:12:37.460><c> your</c><00:12:37.659><c> parents</c>

00:12:38.019 --> 00:12:40.399
and<00:12:38.740><c> see</c><00:12:39.080><c> if</c><00:12:39.299><c> your</c><00:12:39.500><c> parents</c><00:12:39.799><c> actually</c><00:12:40.139><c> will</c><00:12:40.320><c> say</c>

00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:41.620
that<00:12:40.519><c> you</c><00:12:40.600><c> are</c><00:12:40.720><c> blind?</c>

00:12:42.899 --> 00:12:44.860
So,<00:12:43.559><c> they</c><00:12:43.620><c> do</c><00:12:43.820><c> that,</c><00:12:44.059><c> verse</c><00:12:44.259><c> 18.</c>

00:12:44.860 --> 00:12:46.919
But<00:12:45.480><c> the</c><00:12:45.659><c> Jews</c><00:12:45.779><c> did</c><00:12:45.980><c> not</c><00:12:46.120><c> believe</c><00:12:46.399><c> concerning</c><00:12:46.720><c> him</c>

00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:49.039
that<00:12:47.039><c> he</c><00:12:47.120><c> had</c><00:12:47.259><c> been</c><00:12:47.399><c> blind</c><00:12:47.720><c> and</c><00:12:48.100><c> received</c><00:12:48.379><c> his</c><00:12:48.659><c> sight</c>

00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:50.879
until<00:12:49.700><c> they</c><00:12:49.899><c> called</c><00:12:50.100><c> the</c><00:12:50.259><c> parents</c><00:12:50.500><c> of</c><00:12:50.659><c> him</c>

00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.220
that<00:12:51.039><c> had</c><00:12:51.240><c> received</c><00:12:51.879><c> his</c><00:12:52.179><c> sight.</c>

00:12:53.259 --> 00:12:54.879
And<00:12:53.399><c> they</c><00:12:53.539><c> asked</c><00:12:53.740><c> them,</c><00:12:54.379><c> saying,</c>

00:12:55.100 --> 00:12:57.220
is<00:12:55.159><c> this</c><00:12:55.360><c> your</c><00:12:55.539><c> son,</c><00:12:55.820><c> who</c><00:12:55.899><c> you</c><00:12:56.080><c> say</c><00:12:56.179><c> was</c><00:12:56.340><c> blind?</c>

00:12:57.460 --> 00:12:59.460
How<00:12:57.799><c> then</c><00:12:58.000><c> doth</c><00:12:58.200><c> he</c><00:12:58.320><c> now</c><00:12:58.600><c> see?</c>

00:12:59.860 --> 00:13:01.220
And<00:13:00.139><c> so</c><00:13:00.240><c> the</c><00:13:00.440><c> parents</c><00:13:00.639><c> would</c><00:13:00.840><c> come</c><00:13:01.000><c> in.</c>

00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:02.360
And<00:13:01.620><c> think</c><00:13:01.879><c> about</c><00:13:02.120><c> this.</c>

00:13:02.500 --> 00:13:04.779
This<00:13:02.679><c> was</c><00:13:02.940><c> the</c><00:13:03.100><c> first</c><00:13:03.440><c> time</c>

00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:07.340
that<00:13:05.200><c> this</c><00:13:05.379><c> man</c><00:13:05.500><c> had</c><00:13:05.659><c> ever</c><00:13:05.980><c> seen</c><00:13:06.159><c> his</c><00:13:06.419><c> parents.</c>

00:13:08.779 --> 00:13:11.139
And<00:13:09.080><c> so</c><00:13:09.159><c> now</c><00:13:09.279><c> he</c><00:13:09.500><c> stands</c><00:13:09.740><c> before</c><00:13:10.100><c> them.</c>

00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:14.179
And<00:13:12.100><c> they</c><00:13:12.179><c> would</c><00:13:12.299><c> say,</c><00:13:12.480><c> well,</c><00:13:12.700><c> this</c><00:13:12.940><c> is</c><00:13:13.120><c> our</c><00:13:13.279><c> son.</c>

00:13:15.100 --> 00:13:17.720
But<00:13:15.480><c> the</c><00:13:15.860><c> way</c><00:13:16.039><c> that</c><00:13:16.200><c> he</c><00:13:16.279><c> sees,</c><00:13:16.960><c> we</c><00:13:17.039><c> don't</c><00:13:17.500><c> know.</c>

00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:18.539
He's<00:13:17.960><c> old</c><00:13:18.120><c> enough.</c>

00:13:18.980 --> 00:13:20.480
Ask<00:13:19.240><c> him.</c>

00:13:21.580 --> 00:13:23.600
Because<00:13:21.799><c> the</c><00:13:21.960><c> Jews</c><00:13:22.080><c> had</c><00:13:22.279><c> said</c><00:13:22.379><c> that</c><00:13:22.559><c> anyone</c><00:13:22.820><c> who</c><00:13:22.980><c> stood</c><00:13:23.120><c> for</c><00:13:23.299><c> Christ</c>

00:13:23.600 --> 00:13:25.460
would<00:13:23.759><c> be</c><00:13:23.940><c> thrown</c><00:13:24.080><c> out.</c>

00:13:25.940 --> 00:13:27.100
They'd<00:13:26.159><c> be</c><00:13:26.299><c> cast</c><00:13:26.440><c> out</c><00:13:26.559><c> of</c><00:13:26.639><c> the</c><00:13:26.779><c> synagogue.</c>

00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:28.799
And<00:13:27.460><c> so</c><00:13:27.539><c> the</c><00:13:27.679><c> parents</c><00:13:27.840><c> say,</c><00:13:28.299><c> well,</c><00:13:28.299><c> we</c><00:13:28.379><c> don't</c><00:13:28.539><c> know.</c>

00:13:29.000 --> 00:13:29.320
We<00:13:29.080><c> don't</c><00:13:29.240><c> know.</c>

00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:29.960
He<00:13:29.419><c> is</c><00:13:29.580><c> our</c><00:13:29.720><c> son.</c>

00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:31.200
He<00:13:30.200><c> was</c><00:13:30.360><c> blind.</c>

00:13:31.559 --> 00:13:34.019
But<00:13:31.940><c> don't</c><00:13:32.320><c> get</c><00:13:32.500><c> us</c><00:13:32.639><c> involved</c><00:13:32.940><c> in</c><00:13:33.100><c> this.</c>

00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:37.320
And<00:13:34.720><c> so</c><00:13:34.799><c> his</c><00:13:34.940><c> parents</c><00:13:35.139><c> would</c><00:13:35.340><c> refuse</c><00:13:35.620><c> to</c><00:13:35.840><c> stand</c><00:13:35.980><c> alongside</c><00:13:36.440><c> him.</c>

00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:40.080
Can<00:13:39.159><c> you</c><00:13:39.299><c> imagine</c><00:13:39.519><c> that</c><00:13:39.740><c> moment?</c>

00:13:40.539 --> 00:13:42.980
You<00:13:40.679><c> can</c><00:13:40.779><c> imagine</c><00:13:41.139><c> the</c><00:13:41.440><c> joy</c><00:13:41.799><c> as</c><00:13:42.100><c> he</c><00:13:42.279><c> looked</c><00:13:42.480><c> at</c><00:13:42.639><c> his</c><00:13:42.820><c> parents</c>

00:13:42.980 --> 00:13:44.379
for<00:13:43.139><c> the</c><00:13:43.200><c> first</c><00:13:43.419><c> time.</c>

00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:48.740
And<00:13:44.960><c> the</c><00:13:45.100><c> letdown,</c><00:13:47.240><c> as</c><00:13:47.360><c> his</c><00:13:47.580><c> parents</c><00:13:47.799><c> said,</c>

00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:53.220
he<00:13:49.240><c> is</c><00:13:49.419><c> our</c><00:13:49.639><c> son,</c><00:13:51.259><c> but</c><00:13:51.659><c> you</c><00:13:51.820><c> want</c><00:13:51.919><c> us</c><00:13:52.159><c> to</c><00:13:52.379><c> stand</c><00:13:52.559><c> by</c><00:13:52.820><c> his</c><00:13:53.000><c> side?</c>

00:13:53.539 --> 00:13:55.899
I<00:13:53.980><c> don't</c><00:13:54.159><c> think</c><00:13:54.279><c> we</c><00:13:54.399><c> can</c><00:13:54.559><c> do</c><00:13:54.740><c> that.</c>

00:13:57.720 --> 00:13:59.100
Imagine<00:13:58.159><c> that.</c>

00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:02.659
Betrayed<00:13:59.759><c> by</c><00:13:59.980><c> his</c><00:14:00.179><c> neighbors,</c><00:14:01.139><c> betrayed</c><00:14:01.360><c> by</c><00:14:01.600><c> his</c><00:14:01.840><c> parents.</c>

00:14:04.580 --> 00:14:07.980
So<00:14:04.840><c> now</c><00:14:05.279><c> the</c><00:14:06.139><c> religious</c><00:14:06.440><c> leaders,</c><00:14:07.059><c> their</c><00:14:07.279><c> plan</c><00:14:07.480><c> was</c><00:14:07.720><c> foiled.</c>

00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:09.580
They<00:14:08.120><c> can't</c><00:14:08.399><c> prove</c><00:14:08.639><c> that</c><00:14:08.779><c> he</c><00:14:08.879><c> was</c><00:14:09.039><c> never</c><00:14:09.259><c> blind.</c>

00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:12.539
So<00:14:10.120><c> now</c><00:14:10.299><c> they</c><00:14:10.440><c> come</c><00:14:10.620><c> to</c><00:14:10.799><c> him</c><00:14:11.019><c> and</c><00:14:11.240><c> they</c><00:14:11.399><c> say,</c><00:14:11.659><c> okay,</c>

00:14:12.899 --> 00:14:16.580
well,<00:14:14.120><c> we'll</c><00:14:14.360><c> just</c><00:14:14.620><c> force</c><00:14:14.860><c> him</c><00:14:15.059><c> to</c><00:14:15.279><c> say</c>

00:14:17.100 --> 00:14:19.039
that<00:14:17.580><c> Jesus</c><00:14:18.059><c> was</c><00:14:18.399><c> not</c><00:14:18.539><c> from</c><00:14:18.720><c> God.</c>

00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:20.700
So<00:14:19.279><c> they</c><00:14:19.379><c> come</c><00:14:19.559><c> now</c><00:14:19.740><c> in</c><00:14:19.820><c> verse</c><00:14:20.019><c> 24.</c>

00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:23.179
Then<00:14:21.240><c> again,</c><00:14:21.960><c> called</c><00:14:21.960><c> they</c><00:14:22.159><c> the</c><00:14:22.259><c> man</c><00:14:22.419><c> that</c><00:14:22.539><c> was</c><00:14:22.720><c> blind</c>

00:14:23.179 --> 00:14:26.399
and<00:14:23.779><c> said</c><00:14:23.960><c> unto</c><00:14:24.100><c> him,</c><00:14:24.679><c> give</c><00:14:24.840><c> God</c><00:14:25.200><c> the</c><00:14:25.500><c> praise.</c>

00:14:27.139 --> 00:14:29.799
We<00:14:27.480><c> know</c><00:14:27.960><c> that</c><00:14:28.240><c> this</c><00:14:28.480><c> man</c><00:14:28.679><c> is</c><00:14:28.899><c> a</c><00:14:29.039><c> sinner.</c>

00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:31.200
Now,<00:14:30.080><c> I</c><00:14:30.100><c> don't</c><00:14:30.519><c> know</c><00:14:30.620><c> if</c><00:14:30.740><c> you</c><00:14:30.919><c> noticed,</c>

00:14:31.340 --> 00:14:33.139
but<00:14:31.480><c> this</c><00:14:31.659><c> is</c><00:14:31.820><c> actually</c><00:14:32.080><c> an</c><00:14:32.179><c> Old</c><00:14:32.379><c> Testament</c><00:14:32.700><c> echo.</c>

00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:34.720
Give<00:14:33.899><c> God</c><00:14:34.240><c> the</c><00:14:34.480><c> praise.</c>

00:14:34.820 --> 00:14:36.519
If<00:14:34.960><c> you</c><00:14:35.039><c> hold</c><00:14:35.179><c> your</c><00:14:35.320><c> hand</c><00:14:35.440><c> here</c><00:14:35.620><c> in</c><00:14:35.720><c> John</c><00:14:35.899><c> chapter</c><00:14:36.159><c> nine,</c>

00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:39.679
come<00:14:36.840><c> on</c><00:14:37.000><c> back</c><00:14:37.179><c> to</c><00:14:37.360><c> Joshua</c><00:14:37.860><c> chapter</c><00:14:38.399><c> seven.</c>

00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:42.320
You<00:14:40.559><c> may</c><00:14:40.759><c> recall</c><00:14:41.059><c> the</c><00:14:41.320><c> story.</c>

00:14:42.720 --> 00:14:45.720
Joshua<00:14:43.200><c> had</c><00:14:43.679><c> gone</c><00:14:44.019><c> up</c><00:14:44.240><c> against</c><00:14:44.500><c> the</c><00:14:44.559><c> city</c><00:14:44.779><c> of</c><00:14:45.019><c> Ai</c>

00:14:45.980 --> 00:14:48.379
and<00:14:46.460><c> things</c><00:14:46.740><c> didn't</c><00:14:46.980><c> go</c><00:14:47.179><c> very</c><00:14:47.480><c> well.</c>

00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:51.940
They<00:14:49.340><c> lost</c><00:14:49.580><c> 36</c><00:14:50.000><c> men</c><00:14:50.500><c> as</c><00:14:51.080><c> they</c><00:14:51.200><c> fought</c><00:14:51.360><c> against</c><00:14:51.639><c> Ai.</c>

00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:54.919
And<00:14:52.419><c> Joshua</c><00:14:52.700><c> came</c><00:14:53.259><c> to</c><00:14:53.539><c> Yahweh</c><00:14:53.899><c> and</c><00:14:54.000><c> said,</c>

00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:55.799
why<00:14:55.440><c> is</c><00:14:55.679><c> this?</c>

00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:57.059
What<00:14:55.919><c> has</c><00:14:56.120><c> happened?</c>

00:14:58.019 --> 00:15:00.240
It's<00:14:58.159><c> because</c><00:14:58.340><c> there</c><00:14:58.519><c> was</c><00:14:58.620><c> a</c><00:14:58.700><c> cursed</c><00:14:58.899><c> thing</c><00:14:59.039><c> in</c><00:14:59.159><c> the</c><00:14:59.320><c> camp</c>

00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:02.539
and<00:15:00.759><c> Achan</c><00:15:00.980><c> had</c><00:15:01.220><c> taken</c><00:15:01.419><c> it.</c>

00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:04.899
So<00:15:03.039><c> eventually</c><00:15:03.480><c> they</c><00:15:04.019><c> come</c><00:15:04.259><c> up</c><00:15:04.480><c> to</c><00:15:04.600><c> Achan.</c>

00:15:04.980 --> 00:15:05.960
Joshua<00:15:05.279><c> comes</c><00:15:05.559><c> to</c><00:15:05.740><c> Achan.</c>

00:15:05.980 --> 00:15:07.820
It's<00:15:06.200><c> narrowed</c><00:15:06.500><c> down</c><00:15:06.600><c> that</c><00:15:06.679><c> it</c><00:15:06.779><c> was</c><00:15:06.879><c> him.</c>

00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:09.679
And<00:15:08.759><c> notice</c><00:15:08.899><c> what</c><00:15:09.039><c> he</c><00:15:09.139><c> says.</c>

00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:13.340
It<00:15:09.679><c> comes</c><00:15:11.320><c> to</c><00:15:11.559><c> Achan</c><00:15:11.620><c> in</c><00:15:11.759><c> verse</c><00:15:11.960><c> 19.</c>

00:15:14.399 --> 00:15:17.919
And<00:15:14.580><c> Joshua</c><00:15:14.879><c> said</c><00:15:15.120><c> unto</c><00:15:15.379><c> Achan,</c><00:15:15.799><c> my</c><00:15:15.919><c> son,</c><00:15:16.340><c> give,</c><00:15:17.019><c> I</c><00:15:17.200><c> pray</c><00:15:17.419><c> thee,</c>

00:15:18.379 --> 00:15:20.259
glory<00:15:18.860><c> to</c><00:15:19.059><c> the</c><00:15:19.200><c> Lord</c><00:15:19.379><c> God</c><00:15:19.559><c> of</c><00:15:19.700><c> Israel</c>

00:15:20.259 --> 00:15:22.980
and<00:15:20.799><c> make</c><00:15:21.139><c> confession</c><00:15:21.600><c> unto</c><00:15:21.840><c> him.</c>

00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:24.500
And<00:15:23.299><c> tell</c><00:15:23.440><c> me</c><00:15:23.559><c> now</c><00:15:23.740><c> what</c><00:15:23.879><c> thou</c><00:15:24.019><c> hast</c><00:15:24.279><c> done.</c>

00:15:24.539 --> 00:15:25.779
Hide<00:15:24.720><c> it</c><00:15:24.899><c> not</c><00:15:25.039><c> from</c><00:15:25.259><c> me.</c>

00:15:26.139 --> 00:15:31.399
So<00:15:26.460><c> you</c><00:15:26.539><c> can</c><00:15:26.799><c> see</c><00:15:27.879><c> what</c><00:15:28.559><c> these</c><00:15:29.919><c> Pharisees</c><00:15:30.399><c> are</c><00:15:30.600><c> doing.</c>

00:15:31.620 --> 00:15:33.700
They<00:15:32.139><c> quote</c><00:15:32.480><c> Joshua</c><00:15:33.000><c> and</c><00:15:33.159><c> they</c><00:15:33.360><c> say,</c>

00:15:34.100 --> 00:15:36.419
my<00:15:34.320><c> son,</c><00:15:34.659><c> give</c><00:15:34.980><c> God</c><00:15:35.320><c> the</c><00:15:35.600><c> praise.</c>

00:15:37.620 --> 00:15:39.759
Don't<00:15:37.980><c> be</c><00:15:38.200><c> a</c><00:15:38.379><c> liar</c><00:15:38.519><c> like</c><00:15:38.799><c> Achan.</c>

00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:43.000
Don't<00:15:40.559><c> try</c><00:15:40.759><c> and</c><00:15:40.899><c> hide</c><00:15:41.100><c> things</c><00:15:41.360><c> like</c><00:15:41.600><c> Achan</c><00:15:41.820><c> did.</c>

00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:45.820
We<00:15:43.440><c> know</c><00:15:43.820><c> that</c><00:15:44.019><c> he</c><00:15:44.179><c> sinned.</c>

00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:47.759
Tell<00:15:46.740><c> us.</c>

00:15:49.580 --> 00:15:52.399
You<00:15:49.799><c> can</c><00:15:50.120><c> see</c><00:15:50.340><c> their</c><00:15:50.779><c> slipperiness</c><00:15:51.480><c> as</c><00:15:51.659><c> they</c><00:15:51.799><c> do</c><00:15:51.980><c> this.</c>

00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:55.340
Tell<00:15:53.100><c> us</c><00:15:53.500><c> that</c><00:15:53.659><c> this</c><00:15:53.899><c> man</c><00:15:54.080><c> is</c><00:15:54.279><c> a</c><00:15:54.440><c> sinner.</c>

00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.419
And<00:15:58.440><c> well,</c><00:15:59.700><c> the</c><00:15:59.759><c> man</c><00:15:59.980><c> more</c><00:16:00.139><c> than</c><00:16:00.299><c> blind,</c>

00:16:00.539 --> 00:16:02.240
you<00:16:00.679><c> really</c><00:16:00.919><c> just</c><00:16:01.120><c> come</c><00:16:01.240><c> to</c><00:16:01.360><c> love</c><00:16:01.539><c> this</c><00:16:01.779><c> man</c>

00:16:02.740 --> 00:16:05.399
as<00:16:03.220><c> you</c><00:16:03.419><c> see</c><00:16:03.659><c> his</c><00:16:04.019><c> defense</c><00:16:04.419><c> against</c><00:16:04.700><c> the</c><00:16:04.879><c> Pharisees.</c>

00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.259
He<00:16:05.659><c> just</c><00:16:05.980><c> stands</c><00:16:06.220><c> up</c><00:16:07.100><c> and</c><00:16:07.720><c> it's</c><00:16:07.879><c> beautiful.</c>

00:16:08.259 --> 00:16:09.820
He<00:16:08.460><c> says</c><00:16:08.779><c> the</c><00:16:09.059><c> simple</c><00:16:09.299><c> truth.</c>

00:16:10.259 --> 00:16:11.740
And<00:16:10.360><c> so</c><00:16:10.480><c> often</c><00:16:10.700><c> that's</c><00:16:11.100><c> how</c><00:16:11.399><c> it</c><00:16:11.539><c> is.</c>

00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:13.879
You<00:16:11.940><c> can</c><00:16:12.159><c> see</c><00:16:12.279><c> how</c><00:16:12.480><c> the</c><00:16:12.659><c> Pharisees,</c>

00:16:14.059 --> 00:16:16.519

00:16:55.419 --> 00:16:58.659
And<00:16:55.559><c> he</c><00:16:55.620><c> says,</c><00:16:55.820><c> I</c><00:16:55.879><c> was</c><00:16:56.080><c> blind</c><00:16:56.440><c> and</c><00:16:57.259><c> now</c><00:16:57.460><c> I</c><00:16:57.539><c> can</c><00:16:57.759><c> see.</c>

So<00:17:00.659><c> they</c><00:17:00.779><c> say</c><00:17:00.940><c> to</c><00:17:01.000><c> him</c><00:17:01.139><c> again,</c>

00:17:01.379 --> 00:17:02.919

00:17:07.660 --> 00:17:11.759
And<00:17:08.019><c> so</c><00:17:08.140><c> the</c><00:17:08.220><c> man</c><00:17:08.440><c> says,</c><00:17:10.299><c> you</c><00:17:10.400><c> can</c><00:17:10.839><c> just</c><00:17:11.180><c> picture</c><00:17:11.460><c> him.</c>

00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:14.740
He<00:17:12.000><c> just</c><00:17:12.160><c> starts</c><00:17:12.339><c> to</c><00:17:12.519><c> think,</c><00:17:12.660><c> okay,</c><00:17:12.980><c> this</c><00:17:13.140><c> is</c><00:17:13.720><c> ridiculous.</c>

00:17:14.900 --> 00:17:17.019
You've<00:17:15.259><c> been</c><00:17:15.619><c> arguing</c><00:17:16.019><c> about</c><00:17:16.319><c> this</c><00:17:16.500><c> in</c><00:17:16.660><c> front</c><00:17:16.759><c> of</c><00:17:16.880><c> me.</c>

00:17:17.140 --> 00:17:18.940
You<00:17:17.299><c> asked</c><00:17:17.519><c> me</c><00:17:17.720><c> already</c><00:17:18.099><c> who</c><00:17:18.279><c> I</c><00:17:18.420><c> think</c><00:17:18.539><c> he</c><00:17:18.740><c> is.</c>

00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:20.920
I've<00:17:19.420><c> told</c><00:17:19.519><c> you</c><00:17:19.619><c> he's</c><00:17:19.839><c> a</c><00:17:20.019><c> prophet.</c>

00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:24.740
And<00:17:22.680><c> I've</c><00:17:23.039><c> told</c><00:17:23.140><c> you</c><00:17:23.279><c> again,</c><00:17:23.579><c> he's</c><00:17:24.059><c> opened</c><00:17:24.259><c> my</c><00:17:24.480><c> eyes.</c>

00:17:24.859 --> 00:17:26.400
Now<00:17:25.039><c> you</c><00:17:25.119><c> want</c><00:17:25.279><c> to</c><00:17:25.380><c> hear</c><00:17:25.480><c> it</c><00:17:25.640><c> again?</c>

00:17:26.819 --> 00:17:28.819
Okay,<00:17:27.180><c> I'll</c><00:17:27.539><c> tell</c><00:17:27.720><c> you.</c>

00:17:29.059 --> 00:17:31.400
And<00:17:29.140><c> so</c><00:17:29.299><c> he</c><00:17:29.400><c> says,</c><00:17:30.160><c> verse</c><00:17:30.299><c> 27,</c><00:17:30.839><c> he</c><00:17:30.920><c> answered</c><00:17:31.180><c> them,</c>

I<00:17:31.660><c> have</c><00:17:31.880><c> told</c><00:17:32.059><c> you</c><00:17:32.180><c> already</c><00:17:32.519><c> and</c><00:17:32.640><c> you</c><00:17:32.740><c> did</c><00:17:32.900><c> not</c><00:17:33.059><c> hear.</c>

00:17:33.700 --> 00:17:35.519
Wherefore<00:17:34.059><c> would</c><00:17:34.200><c> you</c><00:17:34.339><c> hear</c><00:17:34.519><c> it</c><00:17:34.700><c> again?</c>

00:17:35.559 --> 00:17:37.819
Will<00:17:35.759><c> ye</c><00:17:35.960><c> also</c><00:17:36.319><c> be</c><00:17:36.559><c> his</c><00:17:36.799><c> disciples?</c>

00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:41.839
Then<00:17:39.960><c> they</c><00:17:40.160><c> reviled</c><00:17:40.480><c> him</c><00:17:40.680><c> and</c><00:17:40.759><c> said,</c><00:17:41.119><c> thou</c><00:17:41.119><c> art</c><00:17:41.259><c> his</c><00:17:41.500><c> disciple,</c>

We<00:17:43.799><c> know</c><00:17:44.000><c> that</c><00:17:44.160><c> God</c><00:17:44.339><c> spoke</c><00:17:44.579><c> unto</c><00:17:44.759><c> Moses.</c>

Now<00:17:57.880><c> we</c><00:17:57.980><c> know</c><00:17:58.240><c> that</c><00:17:58.359><c> God</c><00:17:58.619><c> heareth</c><00:17:58.880><c> not</c><00:17:59.140><c> sinners,</c>

00:18:27.019 --> 00:18:28.920
And<00:18:27.380><c> they</c><00:18:27.539><c> cast</c><00:18:27.720><c> him</c><00:18:27.920><c> out.</c>

00:18:30.819 --> 00:18:34.380
Well,<00:18:32.779><c> that's</c><00:18:32.940><c> the</c><00:18:33.099><c> story</c><00:18:33.420><c> of</c><00:18:33.599><c> the</c><00:18:33.720><c> man,</c>

00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:36.799
and<00:18:34.960><c> that's</c><00:18:35.140><c> what</c><00:18:35.259><c> he</c><00:18:35.380><c> went</c><00:18:35.599><c> through.</c>

00:18:38.380 --> 00:18:41.819
Now,<00:18:39.700><c> we</c><00:18:39.960><c> believe</c><00:18:40.140><c> that</c><00:18:40.279><c> there's</c><00:18:40.420><c> a</c><00:18:40.599><c> parable</c><00:18:40.859><c> beneath</c><00:18:41.180><c> this.</c>

00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:44.700
As<00:18:42.319><c> we've</c><00:18:42.579><c> seen</c><00:18:42.700><c> with</c><00:18:43.099><c> most</c><00:18:43.380><c> of</c><00:18:43.539><c> our</c><00:18:43.640><c> other</c><00:18:43.839><c> signs,</c>

00:18:44.900 --> 00:18:47.200
we<00:18:45.099><c> believe</c><00:18:45.279><c> that</c><00:18:45.440><c> there's</c><00:18:45.579><c> something</c><00:18:45.880><c> deeper</c><00:18:46.240><c> here.</c>

00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:49.599
You<00:18:47.500><c> come</c><00:18:47.720><c> to</c><00:18:47.859><c> the</c><00:18:48.039><c> story</c><00:18:48.259><c> and</c><00:18:48.519><c> you</c><00:18:48.740><c> wonder.</c>

00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:51.599
The<00:18:50.019><c> Lord</c><00:18:50.240><c> gives</c><00:18:50.480><c> certain</c><00:18:50.759><c> things</c><00:18:50.980><c> that</c><00:18:51.140><c> make</c><00:18:51.220><c> us</c><00:18:51.440><c> think</c>

00:18:51.599 --> 00:18:53.559
there's<00:18:51.980><c> gotta</c><00:18:52.099><c> be</c><00:18:52.299><c> something</c><00:18:52.579><c> deeper</c><00:18:53.099><c> beneath</c><00:18:53.400><c> this.</c>

00:18:53.680 --> 00:18:55.359
You<00:18:53.779><c> look</c><00:18:53.940><c> at</c><00:18:54.019><c> verses</c><00:18:54.279><c> four</c><00:18:54.599><c> and</c><00:18:54.740><c> five,</c>

00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:58.420
an<00:18:55.599><c> almost</c><00:18:55.859><c> cryptic</c><00:18:56.259><c> language</c><00:18:56.619><c> that</c><00:18:56.799><c> the</c><00:18:56.920><c> Lord</c><00:18:57.059><c> Jesus</c><00:18:57.380><c> uses.</c>

00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:01.980
He'd<00:18:59.440><c> been</c><00:18:59.640><c> asked</c><00:18:59.980><c> that</c><00:19:00.160><c> this</c><00:19:00.380><c> man's</c><00:19:00.759><c> sin</c><00:19:00.799><c> are</c><00:19:00.980><c> his</c><00:19:01.140><c> parents,</c>

00:19:04.299 --> 00:19:06.640
I<00:19:04.299><c> must</c><00:19:04.500><c> work</c><00:19:04.759><c> the</c><00:19:04.900><c> works</c><00:19:05.059><c> of</c><00:19:05.160><c> him</c><00:19:05.319><c> that</c><00:19:05.539><c> sent</c><00:19:05.640><c> me</c><00:19:05.799><c> while</c><00:19:05.960><c> it</c><00:19:06.079><c> is</c><00:19:06.240><c> day.</c>

00:19:06.980 --> 00:19:08.420
The<00:19:07.140><c> night</c><00:19:07.299><c> cometh</c><00:19:07.539><c> when</c><00:19:07.720><c> no</c><00:19:07.900><c> man</c><00:19:08.039><c> can</c><00:19:08.240><c> work.</c>

00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:10.640
As<00:19:08.599><c> long</c><00:19:08.759><c> as</c><00:19:08.880><c> I</c><00:19:08.940><c> am</c><00:19:09.039><c> in</c><00:19:09.140><c> the</c><00:19:09.279><c> world,</c><00:19:09.619><c> I</c><00:19:09.759><c> am</c><00:19:09.839><c> the</c><00:19:09.960><c> light</c><00:19:10.079><c> of</c><00:19:10.240><c> the</c><00:19:10.339><c> world.</c>

00:19:11.099 --> 00:19:14.740
It's<00:19:11.200><c> one</c><00:19:11.339><c> of</c><00:19:11.380><c> those</c><00:19:11.619><c> responses</c><00:19:12.140><c> where</c><00:19:13.299><c> the</c><00:19:13.779><c> Lord</c><00:19:13.960><c> almost</c><00:19:14.259><c> senses</c>

00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:17.599
what<00:19:15.559><c> the</c><00:19:15.720><c> person</c><00:19:16.000><c> asking</c><00:19:16.319><c> was</c><00:19:16.559><c> thinking,</c>

00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:19.700
and<00:19:18.279><c> he</c><00:19:18.359><c> says,</c><00:19:18.599><c> here's</c><00:19:18.640><c> your</c><00:19:18.859><c> answer.</c>

00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:21.460
It's<00:19:20.359><c> a</c><00:19:20.519><c> cryptic</c><00:19:20.900><c> type</c><00:19:21.039><c> of</c><00:19:21.220><c> language,</c>

00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:24.099
and<00:19:21.759><c> you</c><00:19:21.859><c> think</c><00:19:22.059><c> there's</c><00:19:22.579><c> something</c><00:19:22.799><c> deeper</c><00:19:23.059><c> here.</c>

00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:28.900
To<00:19:25.099><c> add</c><00:19:25.339><c> to</c><00:19:25.400><c> that,</c><00:19:26.920><c> you</c><00:19:26.960><c> wonder</c><00:19:27.299><c> why</c><00:19:27.619><c> in</c><00:19:27.680><c> verse</c><00:19:27.920><c> seven,</c>

00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:34.200
why<00:19:31.099><c> Christ</c><00:19:31.359><c> specifically</c><00:19:31.980><c> sends</c><00:19:32.259><c> him</c><00:19:32.460><c> to</c><00:19:32.619><c> the</c><00:19:32.700><c> pool</c><00:19:32.980><c> of</c><00:19:33.180><c> Siloam.</c>

00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:36.720
Why<00:19:35.420><c> not</c><00:19:35.519><c> a</c><00:19:35.619><c> different</c><00:19:35.819><c> pool?</c>

00:19:37.099 --> 00:19:38.640
Why<00:19:37.259><c> not</c><00:19:37.380><c> one</c><00:19:37.519><c> that</c><00:19:37.599><c> was</c><00:19:37.759><c> closer?</c>

00:19:39.500 --> 00:19:41.859
And<00:19:39.680><c> so</c><00:19:39.759><c> as</c><00:19:39.819><c> you</c><00:19:40.000><c> start</c><00:19:40.160><c> to</c><00:19:40.420><c> dig</c><00:19:40.559><c> further,</c>

00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:44.480
things<00:19:43.160><c> start</c><00:19:43.400><c> to</c><00:19:43.519><c> come</c><00:19:43.619><c> together.</c>

00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:47.000
Let's<00:19:44.740><c> take</c><00:19:44.839><c> a</c><00:19:44.859><c> look</c><00:19:44.940><c> at</c><00:19:45.059><c> the</c><00:19:45.259><c> context</c><00:19:45.680><c> of</c><00:19:46.039><c> our</c><00:19:46.319><c> parable</c><00:19:46.660><c> here.</c>

00:19:47.220 --> 00:19:49.180
What<00:19:47.359><c> we've</c><00:19:47.559><c> just</c><00:19:47.740><c> seen</c><00:19:47.880><c> in</c><00:19:48.019><c> John</c><00:19:48.259><c> eight,</c><00:19:48.460><c> verse</c><00:19:48.640><c> 59,</c>

00:19:49.500 --> 00:19:52.839
is<00:19:49.619><c> that</c><00:19:49.759><c> the</c><00:19:49.900><c> Jews</c><00:19:50.039><c> took</c><00:19:50.259><c> up</c><00:19:50.579><c> stones</c><00:19:51.039><c> to</c><00:19:51.460><c> stone</c><00:19:51.700><c> Christ.</c>

00:19:53.619 --> 00:19:55.579
And<00:19:54.000><c> he</c><00:19:54.079><c> passed</c><00:19:54.380><c> by.</c>

00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:57.920
And<00:19:56.559><c> so</c><00:19:56.759><c> he</c><00:19:56.920><c> was</c><00:19:57.079><c> supposed</c><00:19:57.339><c> to</c><00:19:57.480><c> be</c><00:19:57.640><c> dead,</c>

00:19:58.160 --> 00:20:01.579
but<00:19:58.440><c> amazingly,</c><00:20:00.240><c> he</c><00:20:00.279><c> was</c><00:20:00.440><c> alive.</c>

00:20:04.380 --> 00:20:06.099
John<00:20:04.599><c> eight,</c><00:20:04.779><c> verse</c><00:20:04.880><c> 59,</c><00:20:05.339><c> our</c><00:20:05.519><c> context</c><00:20:05.880><c> is</c>

00:20:06.099 --> 00:20:08.220
the<00:20:06.240><c> death</c><00:20:06.400><c> and</c><00:20:06.619><c> resurrection</c><00:20:07.019><c> of</c><00:20:07.200><c> the</c><00:20:07.319><c> Lord.</c>

00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:12.279
And<00:20:10.980><c> the</c><00:20:11.079><c> next</c><00:20:11.220><c> thing</c><00:20:11.359><c> that</c><00:20:11.519><c> we</c><00:20:11.660><c> see</c>

00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:13.980
is<00:20:12.539><c> that</c><00:20:12.619><c> he</c><00:20:12.660><c> comes</c><00:20:12.859><c> face</c><00:20:13.119><c> to</c><00:20:13.279><c> face</c><00:20:13.480><c> with</c><00:20:13.619><c> this</c><00:20:13.819><c> man</c>

00:20:13.980 --> 00:20:15.359
who<00:20:14.079><c> is</c><00:20:14.299><c> born</c><00:20:14.460><c> blind.</c>

00:20:15.539 --> 00:20:17.500
We<00:20:15.720><c> try</c><00:20:15.880><c> and</c><00:20:15.980><c> think</c><00:20:16.099><c> of</c><00:20:16.319><c> who</c><00:20:16.460><c> could</c><00:20:16.599><c> this</c><00:20:16.779><c> man</c><00:20:16.980><c> represent?</c>

00:20:17.980 --> 00:20:19.019
What<00:20:18.279><c> could</c><00:20:18.460><c> this</c><00:20:18.720><c> be?</c>

00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:21.539
And<00:20:19.640><c> while</c><00:20:19.759><c> you</c><00:20:19.900><c> think</c><00:20:20.339><c> blindness,</c>

00:20:21.900 --> 00:20:24.579
well,<00:20:22.380><c> it's</c><00:20:22.480><c> probably</c><00:20:22.880><c> not</c><00:20:23.460><c> the</c><00:20:23.720><c> Jews,</c>

00:20:24.660 --> 00:20:26.680
because<00:20:25.099><c> over</c><00:20:25.539><c> and</c><00:20:25.740><c> over</c><00:20:25.900><c> through</c><00:20:26.079><c> the</c><00:20:26.259><c> gospels,</c>

00:20:26.779 --> 00:20:29.599
what<00:20:26.920><c> we're</c><00:20:27.099><c> told</c><00:20:27.539><c> is</c><00:20:28.359><c> that</c><00:20:28.579><c> the</c><00:20:28.779><c> Jews</c>

00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:32.900
are<00:20:30.240><c> constantly</c><00:20:30.680><c> blind</c><00:20:31.240><c> and</c><00:20:31.599><c> they</c><00:20:31.720><c> aren't</c><00:20:31.920><c> healed.</c>

00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:36.339
So<00:20:33.640><c> you</c><00:20:33.740><c> come</c><00:20:34.079><c> on</c><00:20:34.240><c> over</c><00:20:34.460><c> to</c><00:20:34.579><c> John</c><00:20:34.799><c> chapter</c><00:20:35.079><c> 12</c>

00:20:36.579 --> 00:20:39.140
and<00:20:37.019><c> take</c><00:20:37.240><c> a</c><00:20:37.359><c> look,</c><00:20:37.539><c> we'll</c><00:20:37.660><c> start</c><00:20:37.779><c> at</c><00:20:37.900><c> verse</c><00:20:38.059><c> 37.</c>

00:20:45.940 --> 00:20:49.140
John<00:20:46.160><c> 12,</c><00:20:46.559><c> verse</c><00:20:46.680><c> 37,</c><00:20:47.960><c> we</c><00:20:48.099><c> read,</c>

00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:52.400
But<00:20:49.960><c> though</c><00:20:50.259><c> he</c><00:20:50.380><c> had</c><00:20:50.579><c> done</c><00:20:50.740><c> so</c><00:20:51.000><c> many</c><00:20:51.180><c> miracles</c><00:20:51.599><c> before</c><00:20:52.000><c> them,</c>

00:20:52.900 --> 00:20:54.440

00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:55.960
that<00:20:54.740><c> the</c><00:20:54.900><c> saying</c><00:20:55.079><c> of</c><00:20:55.259><c> Isaiah</c><00:20:55.559><c> the</c><00:20:55.680><c> prophet</c>

for<00:25:50.579><c> a</c><00:25:50.779><c> light</c><00:25:50.920><c> of</c><00:25:51.140><c> the</c><00:25:51.240><c> Gentiles</c><00:25:51.799><c> to</c><00:25:52.180><c> open</c><00:25:52.579><c> the</c><00:25:52.920><c> blind</c><00:25:53.200><c> eyes.</c>

00:25:56.160 --> 00:25:58.200
That's<00:25:56.599><c> exactly</c><00:25:56.880><c> what</c><00:25:57.019><c> we</c><00:25:57.200><c> saw.</c>

00:25:59.019 --> 00:26:00.839
That's<00:25:59.339><c> John</c><00:25:59.559><c> 9.</c>

00:26:02.819 --> 00:26:03.960

the<00:26:23.559><c> Apostle</c><00:26:23.880><c> said</c><00:26:24.099><c> as</c><00:26:24.279><c> he</c><00:26:24.339><c> was</c><00:26:24.720><c> defending</c><00:26:25.180><c> his</c><00:26:25.920><c> actions,</c>

defending<00:26:26.680><c> himself,</c>

00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:30.079

00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:32.559
that<00:26:30.920><c> this</c><00:26:31.099><c> is</c><00:26:31.220><c> what</c><00:26:31.319><c> God</c><00:26:31.500><c> told</c><00:26:31.759><c> him.</c>

00:26:34.259 --> 00:26:36.059
Delivering<00:26:34.740><c> thee</c><00:26:34.960><c> from</c><00:26:35.119><c> the</c><00:26:35.279><c> people</c>

00:26:36.059 --> 00:26:38.240
and<00:26:36.660><c> from</c><00:26:36.900><c> the</c><00:26:37.000><c> Gentiles</c>

00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:40.880
unto<00:26:39.019><c> whom</c><00:26:39.200><c> I</c><00:26:39.380><c> now</c><00:26:39.619><c> send</c><00:26:39.779><c> thee</c>

00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:42.779

00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:51.180
And<00:26:48.799><c> that's</c><00:26:49.019><c> what</c><00:26:49.240><c> all</c><00:26:49.680><c> happens</c><00:26:50.000><c> in</c><00:26:50.140><c> John</c><00:26:50.359><c> chapter</c><00:26:50.619><c> 9.</c>

00:26:51.579 --> 00:26:53.819
The<00:26:51.700><c> light</c><00:26:51.859><c> of</c><00:26:51.980><c> the</c><00:26:52.099><c> world</c><00:26:52.259><c> comes</c><00:26:52.519><c> to</c><00:26:52.700><c> this</c><00:26:52.859><c> man</c>

00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:55.579
and<00:26:54.259><c> his</c><00:26:54.339><c> eyes</c><00:26:54.500><c> are</c><00:26:54.740><c> opened</c>

00:26:55.740 --> 00:26:57.539

00:26:57.859 --> 00:26:59.059
As<00:26:58.000><c> you</c><00:26:58.140><c> start</c><00:26:58.299><c> to</c><00:26:58.440><c> think</c><00:26:58.559><c> about</c><00:26:58.799><c> this,</c>

00:26:59.180 --> 00:27:00.700
it<00:26:59.339><c> all</c><00:26:59.460><c> comes</c><00:26:59.660><c> together</c><00:26:59.980><c> and</c><00:27:00.079><c> it</c><00:27:00.220><c> makes</c><00:27:00.339><c> sense</c>

00:27:00.700 --> 00:27:03.339
because<00:27:01.000><c> this</c><00:27:01.220><c> man</c><00:27:01.400><c> was</c><00:27:01.619><c> blind</c><00:27:01.900><c> from</c><00:27:02.099><c> his</c><00:27:02.359><c> birth.</c>

00:27:03.539 --> 00:27:05.099
The<00:27:03.619><c> Jews</c><00:27:03.759><c> wouldn't</c><00:27:04.000><c> be</c><00:27:04.259><c> representative</c><00:27:04.640><c> of</c><00:27:04.839><c> that.</c>

00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:06.579
They<00:27:05.339><c> would</c><00:27:05.460><c> be</c><00:27:05.559><c> more</c><00:27:05.799><c> representative</c><00:27:06.140><c> of</c><00:27:06.299><c> somebody</c>

00:27:06.579 --> 00:27:09.519
that<00:27:06.960><c> could</c><00:27:07.279><c> see</c><00:27:07.700><c> and</c><00:27:08.019><c> became</c><00:27:08.319><c> blind.</c>

00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:12.380
But<00:27:10.960><c> the</c><00:27:11.099><c> Gentiles,</c>

00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:14.920
they<00:27:13.440><c> never</c><00:27:13.640><c> really</c><00:27:13.859><c> did</c><00:27:14.059><c> see.</c>

00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:17.420
And<00:27:15.740><c> again,</c><00:27:15.960><c> when</c><00:27:16.059><c> you</c><00:27:16.160><c> come</c><00:27:16.299><c> over</c><00:27:16.480><c> to</c><00:27:16.559><c> John</c><00:27:16.740><c> chapter</c><00:27:17.000><c> 9,</c>

00:27:24.380 --> 00:27:26.900
If<00:27:24.539><c> you</c><00:27:24.619><c> look</c><00:27:24.779><c> at</c><00:27:24.880><c> John</c><00:27:25.140><c> 9,</c>

00:27:27.180 --> 00:27:29.700

00:27:33.660 --> 00:27:34.579
John<00:27:33.680><c> 9</c><00:27:33.940><c> verse</c><00:27:34.099><c> 7,</c>

00:27:34.619 --> 00:27:36.160
And<00:27:34.740><c> said</c><00:27:34.920><c> unto</c><00:27:35.119><c> him,</c>

00:27:36.180 --> 00:27:38.200
Go<00:27:36.380><c> wash</c><00:27:36.900><c> in</c><00:27:37.039><c> the</c><00:27:37.140><c> Pool</c><00:27:37.319><c> of</c><00:27:37.500><c> Siloam.</c>

00:27:38.819 --> 00:27:39.539
And<00:27:39.019><c> John</c><00:27:39.200><c> says,</c>

00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:43.279
Which<00:27:40.160><c> by</c><00:27:41.200><c> interpretation</c><00:27:41.900><c> means</c><00:27:42.339><c> sent.</c>

00:27:44.500 --> 00:27:45.519
It's<00:27:44.579><c> as</c><00:27:44.740><c> though</c><00:27:44.839><c> John</c><00:27:45.039><c> is</c><00:27:45.240><c> saying,</c>

00:27:45.759 --> 00:27:47.119
Gentiles,<00:27:46.259><c> this</c><00:27:46.420><c> is</c><00:27:46.579><c> for</c><00:27:46.759><c> you.</c>

00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:50.240
I<00:27:47.460><c> want</c><00:27:47.599><c> to</c><00:27:47.700><c> make</c><00:27:47.819><c> sure</c><00:27:47.980><c> that</c><00:27:48.200><c> you</c><00:27:48.599><c> know</c><00:27:48.940><c> what</c><00:27:49.099><c> that</c><00:27:49.380><c> means.</c>

00:27:50.359 --> 00:27:51.779
He<00:27:50.440><c> wouldn't</c><00:27:50.559><c> need</c><00:27:50.720><c> to</c><00:27:50.819><c> explain</c><00:27:51.079><c> that</c><00:27:51.240><c> to</c><00:27:51.339><c> the</c><00:27:51.500><c> Jews.</c>

00:27:52.220 --> 00:27:53.799
Jews<00:27:52.400><c> would</c><00:27:52.579><c> know</c><00:27:52.660><c> what</c><00:27:52.799><c> it</c><00:27:52.960><c> meant.</c>

00:27:54.759 --> 00:27:56.799
And<00:27:54.900><c> he</c><00:27:54.960><c> says,</c><00:27:55.180><c> Gentiles,</c><00:27:55.460><c> that's</c><00:27:55.660><c> for</c><00:27:55.799><c> you.</c>

00:27:57.299 --> 00:28:00.660
Interestingly,<00:27:57.859><c> if</c><00:27:57.859><c> you</c><00:27:58.019><c> just</c><00:27:58.220><c> compare</c><00:27:58.460><c> that</c><00:27:58.640><c> to</c><00:27:58.720><c> John</c><00:27:58.980><c> chapter</c><00:27:59.299><c> 5,</c>

00:28:01.299 --> 00:28:04.819
when<00:28:01.400><c> we're</c><00:28:01.559><c> told</c><00:28:01.759><c> about</c><00:28:02.880><c> the</c><00:28:03.240><c> lame</c><00:28:03.440><c> man</c><00:28:03.640><c> at</c><00:28:03.759><c> the</c><00:28:03.859><c> Pool</c><00:28:04.019><c> of</c><00:28:04.119><c> Bethesda</c>

00:28:05.059 --> 00:28:06.319
who<00:28:05.460><c> represents</c><00:28:05.859><c> the</c><00:28:06.079><c> Jews,</c>

00:28:06.619 --> 00:28:09.579
you'll<00:28:06.839><c> notice</c><00:28:07.240><c> that</c><00:28:07.799><c> we're</c><00:28:07.960><c> told</c><00:28:08.180><c> that</c><00:28:08.319><c> he</c><00:28:08.400><c> was</c><00:28:08.579><c> there</c>

00:28:09.579 --> 00:28:11.859
in<00:28:10.079><c> verse</c><00:28:10.380><c> 2,</c><00:28:10.799><c> John</c><00:28:10.980><c> 5</c><00:28:11.259><c> verse</c><00:28:11.440><c> 2.</c>

00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:13.839
Now<00:28:12.019><c> there</c><00:28:12.160><c> is</c><00:28:12.299><c> a</c><00:28:12.420><c> Jerusalem</c><00:28:12.779><c> by</c><00:28:12.960><c> the</c><00:28:13.099><c> sheep</c><00:28:13.240><c> market,</c><00:28:13.519><c> a</c><00:28:13.660><c> pool,</c>

00:28:14.099 --> 00:28:16.900
which<00:28:14.259><c> is</c><00:28:14.440><c> called</c><00:28:14.579><c> in</c><00:28:14.680><c> the</c><00:28:14.839><c> Hebrew</c><00:28:15.019><c> tongue,</c><00:28:15.559><c> Bethesda.</c>

00:28:17.660 --> 00:28:19.440

00:28:21.240 --> 00:28:23.420
That's<00:28:21.559><c> because</c><00:28:21.700><c> this</c><00:28:21.940><c> man</c><00:28:22.059><c> represents</c><00:28:22.400><c> the</c><00:28:22.619><c> Jews.</c>

00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:27.619
And<00:28:24.099><c> the</c><00:28:24.160><c> man</c><00:28:24.359><c> born</c><00:28:24.559><c> blind</c><00:28:24.819><c> in</c><00:28:24.920><c> John</c><00:28:25.119><c> 9</c><00:28:25.380><c> represents</c><00:28:26.160><c> the</c><00:28:26.420><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:31.650
So<00:28:29.500><c> the</c><00:28:30.059><c> picture</c><00:28:30.400><c> that</c><00:28:30.559><c> we</c><00:28:30.720><c> have</c><00:28:30.900><c> here</c>

00:28:32.500 --> 00:28:36.569
is<00:28:33.000><c> that</c><00:28:33.140><c> the</c><00:28:33.259><c> man</c><00:28:34.140><c> represents</c><00:28:34.960><c> the</c><00:28:35.160><c> Gentiles</c><00:28:35.579><c> and</c><00:28:35.660><c> they're</c><00:28:35.819><c> blind.</c>

00:28:38.059 --> 00:28:41.819
Yet<00:28:38.279><c> right</c><00:28:38.500><c> after</c><00:28:39.420><c> the</c><00:28:39.799><c> death</c><00:28:39.960><c> and</c><00:28:40.140><c> resurrection</c><00:28:40.519><c> of</c><00:28:40.660><c> the</c><00:28:40.799><c> Lord,</c>

00:28:42.700 --> 00:28:45.480
an<00:28:42.839><c> opportunity</c><00:28:43.240><c> would</c><00:28:43.400><c> be</c><00:28:43.559><c> given</c><00:28:43.700><c> to</c><00:28:43.859><c> the</c><00:28:43.960><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:28:47.619 --> 00:28:51.440
And<00:28:47.859><c> this</c><00:28:48.039><c> opportunity</c><00:28:48.720><c> could</c><00:28:49.359><c> be</c><00:28:49.559><c> grasped</c><00:28:49.920><c> by</c><00:28:50.099><c> them</c>

00:28:51.700 --> 00:28:55.680
if<00:28:52.200><c> only</c><00:28:52.460><c> they</c><00:28:52.559><c> were</c><00:28:52.740><c> willing</c><00:28:52.980><c> to</c><00:28:53.220><c> take</c><00:28:53.359><c> the</c><00:28:53.559><c> clay</c><00:28:53.720><c> off</c><00:28:53.920><c> their</c><00:28:54.140><c> eyes</c>

00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:57.579
and<00:28:56.579><c> wash.</c>

00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:01.619
Come<00:28:59.519><c> over</c><00:28:59.700><c> to</c><00:28:59.839><c> Isaiah</c><00:29:00.039><c> 64.</c>

00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:13.759
Isaiah<00:29:11.059><c> 64</c><00:29:11.559><c> in</c><00:29:11.720><c> verse</c><00:29:11.920><c> 8.</c>

00:29:15.039 --> 00:29:20.240
We<00:29:15.140><c> read,</c><00:29:15.759><c> But</c><00:29:15.880><c> now,</c><00:29:16.200><c> O</c><00:29:16.400><c> Lord,</c><00:29:18.220><c> thou</c><00:29:18.500><c> art</c><00:29:18.720><c> our</c><00:29:18.920><c> Father.</c>

00:29:20.700 --> 00:29:23.359
We<00:29:21.099><c> are</c><00:29:21.279><c> the</c><00:29:21.460><c> clay,</c><00:29:22.220><c> and</c><00:29:22.339><c> thou</c><00:29:22.480><c> our</c><00:29:22.660><c> potter.</c>

00:29:23.420 --> 00:29:24.859
And<00:29:23.680><c> we</c><00:29:23.799><c> are</c><00:29:23.920><c> all</c><00:29:24.039><c> the</c><00:29:24.140><c> work</c><00:29:24.259><c> of</c><00:29:24.460><c> thine</c><00:29:24.559><c> hand.</c>

00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:27.180
And<00:29:25.180><c> again,</c><00:29:25.339><c> Isaiah</c><00:29:25.599><c> 45</c><00:29:26.119><c> tells</c><00:29:26.319><c> us</c><00:29:26.500><c> the</c><00:29:26.599><c> same</c><00:29:26.799><c> thing,</c>

00:29:27.380 --> 00:29:30.359
that<00:29:27.579><c> the</c><00:29:27.819><c> clay</c><00:29:28.240><c> represents</c><00:29:29.039><c> humanity.</c>

00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:32.980
And<00:29:30.640><c> the</c><00:29:30.740><c> Gentiles</c><00:29:31.079><c> would</c><00:29:31.220><c> have</c><00:29:31.359><c> to</c><00:29:31.539><c> learn</c><00:29:31.779><c> to</c><00:29:32.279><c> wipe</c><00:29:32.559><c> off</c>

00:29:32.980 --> 00:29:38.059
the<00:29:33.259><c> vain</c><00:29:33.480><c> tradition</c><00:29:33.940><c> received</c><00:29:34.400><c> from</c><00:29:34.579><c> their</c><00:29:34.779><c> fathers</c><00:29:35.339><c> in</c><00:29:36.839><c> order</c><00:29:37.019><c> to</c><00:29:37.220><c> see.</c>

00:29:39.119 --> 00:29:40.599
And<00:29:39.400><c> the</c><00:29:39.500><c> way</c><00:29:39.599><c> that</c><00:29:39.759><c> they</c><00:29:39.839><c> would</c><00:29:40.039><c> wipe</c><00:29:40.160><c> it</c><00:29:40.380><c> off,</c>

00:29:40.740 --> 00:29:41.859
the<00:29:40.839><c> way</c><00:29:40.980><c> that</c><00:29:41.079><c> it</c><00:29:41.160><c> would</c><00:29:41.299><c> come</c><00:29:41.500><c> off,</c>

00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:44.319
would<00:29:42.140><c> be</c><00:29:42.299><c> by</c><00:29:42.440><c> going</c><00:29:42.640><c> to</c><00:29:42.799><c> the</c><00:29:42.940><c> Pool</c><00:29:43.119><c> of</c><00:29:43.319><c> Siloam.</c>

00:29:46.339 --> 00:29:48.940
Now<00:29:46.759><c> you'll</c><00:29:47.079><c> recall</c><00:29:47.359><c> that</c><00:29:47.720><c> John</c><00:29:47.920><c> put</c><00:29:48.140><c> that</c><00:29:48.339><c> little</c><00:29:48.519><c> hint</c><00:29:48.740><c> in</c>

00:29:48.940 --> 00:29:49.799
for<00:29:49.180><c> us.</c>

00:29:50.000 --> 00:29:51.960
The<00:29:50.079><c> Pool</c><00:29:50.259><c> of</c><00:29:50.380><c> Siloam</c><00:29:50.700><c> means</c><00:29:51.019><c> sent.</c>

00:29:54.180 --> 00:29:55.980
Now,<00:29:54.640><c> if</c><00:29:54.779><c> you</c><00:29:54.920><c> ever</c><00:29:55.079><c> feel</c><00:29:55.259><c> like</c><00:29:55.460><c> doing</c><00:29:55.640><c> this,</c>

00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:59.299
you<00:29:56.200><c> can</c><00:29:56.380><c> get</c><00:29:56.539><c> your</c><00:29:56.779><c> concordance</c><00:29:57.180><c> and</c><00:29:57.319><c> you</c><00:29:57.359><c> can</c><00:29:57.519><c> look</c><00:29:57.619><c> this</c><00:29:57.799><c> up.</c>

00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:07.180
John<00:30:02.940><c> refers</c><00:30:03.359><c> to</c><00:30:03.720><c> Jesus</c><00:30:04.279><c> being</c><00:30:05.559><c> the</c><00:30:05.720><c> one</c><00:30:05.859><c> sent</c><00:30:06.099><c> by</c><00:30:06.299><c> God</c>

00:30:07.180 --> 00:30:09.819
41<00:30:07.980><c> times</c><00:30:08.460><c> in</c><00:30:08.619><c> his</c><00:30:08.779><c> gospel.</c>

00:30:12.180 --> 00:30:14.259
Jesus<00:30:12.539><c> is</c><00:30:12.759><c> representative</c><00:30:13.140><c> of</c><00:30:13.299><c> the</c><00:30:13.440><c> Pool.</c>

00:30:15.259 --> 00:30:17.059
Or<00:30:15.339><c> the</c><00:30:15.400><c> Pool</c><00:30:15.579><c> is</c><00:30:15.779><c> representative</c><00:30:16.099><c> of</c><00:30:16.279><c> him.</c>

00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:20.980
If<00:30:19.079><c> you</c><00:30:19.220><c> compare</c><00:30:19.440><c> the</c><00:30:19.619><c> other</c><00:30:19.779><c> gospels,</c>

00:30:21.579 --> 00:30:24.319
you'll<00:30:21.700><c> see</c><00:30:21.799><c> that</c><00:30:21.980><c> Matthew</c><00:30:22.680><c> tells</c><00:30:23.160><c> us</c><00:30:23.420><c> that</c><00:30:23.819><c> Jesus</c><00:30:24.079><c> was</c><00:30:24.259><c> sent</c>

00:30:24.319 --> 00:30:25.900
by<00:30:24.500><c> God</c><00:30:24.700><c> three</c><00:30:24.980><c> times.</c>

00:30:26.500 --> 00:30:28.220
You'll<00:30:26.660><c> see</c><00:30:26.720><c> that</c><00:30:26.859><c> Mark</c><00:30:26.980><c> says</c><00:30:27.119><c> it</c><00:30:27.259><c> twice.</c>

00:30:28.319 --> 00:30:29.420
And<00:30:28.460><c> Luke</c><00:30:28.619><c> says</c><00:30:28.759><c> it</c><00:30:28.900><c> four</c><00:30:29.119><c> times.</c>

00:30:29.579 --> 00:30:31.059
John<00:30:29.779><c> says</c><00:30:29.960><c> it</c><00:30:30.160><c> 41.</c>

00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:34.339
Do<00:30:32.640><c> you</c><00:30:32.640><c> think</c><00:30:32.720><c> he's</c><00:30:32.880><c> trying</c><00:30:33.059><c> to</c><00:30:33.160><c> get</c><00:30:33.240><c> a</c><00:30:33.380><c> point</c><00:30:33.480><c> across?</c>

00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:36.240
And<00:30:35.400><c> so</c><00:30:35.480><c> when</c><00:30:35.640><c> John</c><00:30:35.880><c> says,</c>

00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:39.319
By<00:30:36.599><c> the</c><00:30:36.799><c> way,</c><00:30:37.380><c> Siloam</c><00:30:37.799><c> means</c><00:30:38.079><c> sent.</c>

00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:41.180
He's<00:30:40.339><c> saying,</c>

00:30:41.980 --> 00:30:43.480
Do<00:30:42.220><c> you</c><00:30:42.240><c> see</c><00:30:42.420><c> the</c><00:30:42.579><c> connection?</c>

00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:45.799
That's<00:30:44.779><c> Christ.</c>

00:30:47.779 --> 00:30:51.779
And<00:30:48.019><c> so</c><00:30:48.140><c> the</c><00:30:48.299><c> picture</c><00:30:48.640><c> is</c><00:30:49.319><c> that</c><00:30:49.680><c> the</c><00:30:49.839><c> Gentiles</c><00:30:50.859><c> would</c><00:30:51.380><c> have</c><00:30:51.559><c> to</c>

00:30:51.779 --> 00:30:55.460
wipe<00:30:52.220><c> the</c><00:30:53.640><c> world</c><00:30:53.920><c> off</c><00:30:54.140><c> of</c><00:30:54.259><c> their</c><00:30:54.400><c> eyes.</c>

00:30:56.140 --> 00:30:58.759
And<00:30:56.559><c> they</c><00:30:56.640><c> would</c><00:30:56.779><c> do</c><00:30:56.900><c> that</c><00:30:57.039><c> by</c><00:30:57.180><c> coming</c><00:30:57.420><c> to</c><00:30:57.539><c> Christ.</c>

00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:02.339
And<00:31:00.099><c> so</c><00:31:00.200><c> the</c><00:31:00.339><c> opportunity</c><00:31:00.700><c> would</c><00:31:00.880><c> be</c><00:31:01.019><c> given</c><00:31:01.200><c> to</c><00:31:01.359><c> the</c><00:31:01.480><c> Gentiles</c>

00:31:02.339 --> 00:31:04.200
to<00:31:03.420><c> inherit</c><00:31:03.619><c> salvation.</c>

00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:07.160
And<00:31:04.900><c> interestingly,</c><00:31:05.960><c> as</c><00:31:06.059><c> that</c><00:31:06.220><c> started</c><00:31:06.480><c> to</c><00:31:06.779><c> happen,</c>

00:31:07.640 --> 00:31:10.339
just<00:31:07.759><c> as</c><00:31:07.940><c> the</c><00:31:08.160><c> Jews</c><00:31:08.380><c> stood</c><00:31:08.619><c> up</c><00:31:08.839><c> against</c><00:31:09.039><c> this</c><00:31:09.339><c> man,</c>

00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:13.740
so<00:31:11.359><c> the</c><00:31:11.460><c> Jews</c><00:31:11.599><c> would</c><00:31:11.799><c> stand</c><00:31:11.940><c> up</c><00:31:12.099><c> against</c><00:31:12.299><c> the</c><00:31:12.400><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:22.099
And<00:31:16.440><c> yet,</c><00:31:16.960><c> just</c><00:31:17.240><c> as</c><00:31:17.400><c> this</c><00:31:17.640><c> man</c><00:31:18.660><c> condemned</c><00:31:19.400><c> the</c><00:31:19.640><c> Jews</c><00:31:20.099><c> by</c><00:31:20.980><c> his</c><00:31:21.220><c> faith,</c>

00:31:23.220 --> 00:31:24.460

And<00:33:54.359><c> when</c><00:33:54.500><c> he</c><00:33:54.599><c> had</c><00:33:54.799><c> found</c><00:33:54.940><c> him,</c><00:33:55.140><c> he</c><00:33:55.180><c> said</c><00:33:55.359><c> unto</c><00:33:55.519><c> him,</c>

Dost<00:33:56.099><c> thou</c><00:33:56.319><c> believe</c><00:33:56.640><c> on</c><00:33:56.799><c> the</c><00:33:56.900><c> Son</c><00:33:57.039><c> of</c><00:33:57.200><c> God?</c>

00:34:04.619 --> 00:34:09.219
Jesus<00:34:05.059><c> said</c><00:34:05.240><c> unto</c><00:34:05.460><c> him,</c><00:34:06.640><c> Thou</c><00:34:06.859><c> hast</c><00:34:07.140><c> both</c><00:34:07.380><c> seen</c><00:34:07.619><c> him,</c><00:34:08.940><c> and</c><00:34:09.079><c> it</c>

00:34:10.519 --> 00:34:14.739
And<00:34:11.519><c> he</c><00:34:11.619><c> said,</c><00:34:12.280><c> Lord,</c><00:34:13.440><c> I</c><00:34:13.719><c> believe.</c>

And<00:34:15.500><c> he</c><00:34:15.639><c> worshiped</c><00:34:15.920><c> him.</c>

00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:24.079
Now,<00:34:20.719><c> you</c><00:34:20.739><c> may</c><00:34:20.900><c> have</c><00:34:21.039><c> noticed</c><00:34:21.360><c> that</c><00:34:22.380><c> in</c><00:34:22.659><c> verse</c><00:34:22.840><c> 37,</c>

the<00:34:24.420><c> Master</c><00:34:24.739><c> says</c><00:34:25.019><c> things</c><00:34:26.179><c> backwards</c><00:34:26.880><c> from</c><00:34:27.079><c> how</c><00:34:27.260><c> we</c><00:34:27.400><c> may</c><00:34:27.579><c> have</c>

said<00:34:27.800><c> them.</c>

00:34:29.239 --> 00:34:32.920
If<00:34:29.519><c> I</c><00:34:30.019><c> were</c><00:34:30.139><c> saying</c><00:34:30.340><c> this,</c><00:34:31.059><c> I</c><00:34:31.260><c> probably</c><00:34:31.599><c> would</c><00:34:31.760><c> have</c><00:34:31.880><c> said,</c>

00:34:33.539 --> 00:34:39.619
Well,<00:34:35.639><c> he's</c><00:34:35.920><c> talked</c><00:34:36.079><c> with</c><00:34:36.239><c> you</c><00:34:36.380><c> before,</c><00:34:37.139><c> and</c><00:34:37.900><c> now</c><00:34:38.099><c> you</c><00:34:38.239><c> see</c><00:34:38.400><c> him.</c>

00:34:39.739 --> 00:34:42.159
Did<00:34:40.179><c> you</c><00:34:40.320><c> notice</c><00:34:40.559><c> that</c><00:34:40.739><c> the</c><00:34:40.840><c> Lord</c><00:34:40.980><c> says,</c><00:34:41.679><c> Thou</c><00:34:41.699><c> hast</c><00:34:41.920><c> both</c>

00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:43.659
seen<00:34:42.400><c> him,</c>

00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:46.199
and<00:34:44.239><c> it</c><00:34:44.380><c> is</c><00:34:44.380><c> he</c><00:34:44.539><c> that</c><00:34:44.679><c> talketh</c><00:34:44.960><c> with</c><00:34:45.119><c> thee?</c>

00:34:46.659 --> 00:34:48.780
We<00:34:46.800><c> would</c><00:34:46.940><c> have</c><00:34:47.000><c> said</c><00:34:47.119><c> it</c><00:34:47.239><c> the</c><00:34:47.320><c> other</c><00:34:47.440><c> way</c><00:34:47.619><c> around.</c>

00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:53.019
But<00:34:50.519><c> that's</c><00:34:50.699><c> because</c><00:34:50.940><c> the</c><00:34:51.059><c> man</c><00:34:51.179><c> had</c><00:34:51.400><c> seen</c><00:34:51.579><c> him.</c>

00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:55.579
He'd<00:34:54.159><c> seen</c><00:34:54.260><c> him</c><00:34:54.340><c> by</c><00:34:54.519><c> his</c><00:34:54.679><c> faith.</c>

00:34:56.840 --> 00:34:58.500
And<00:34:57.099><c> that's</c><00:34:57.219><c> why</c><00:34:57.360><c> the</c><00:34:57.500><c> Lord</c><00:34:57.619><c> uses</c><00:34:57.860><c> past</c><00:34:58.199><c> tense.</c>

00:35:02.880 --> 00:35:06.360
Because<00:35:03.219><c> through</c><00:35:03.400><c> his</c><00:35:03.579><c> faith,</c><00:35:05.460><c> he</c><00:35:05.719><c> saw</c><00:35:05.920><c> the</c><00:35:06.079><c> Lord.</c>

00:35:06.800 --> 00:35:10.159
And,<00:35:07.380><c> brothers</c><00:35:07.400><c> and</c><00:35:07.619><c> sisters,</c><00:35:08.099><c> as</c><00:35:08.300><c> we</c><00:35:08.480><c> come</c><00:35:08.699><c> now,</c>

00:35:22.500 --> 00:35:24.119
We<00:35:22.599><c> don't</c><00:35:22.760><c> know</c><00:35:22.880><c> what</c><00:35:23.000><c> he</c><00:35:23.059><c> looks</c><00:35:23.320><c> like.</c><00:35:23.500><c> We've</c><00:35:23.659><c> never</c><00:35:23.880><c> looked</c>

00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:25.739
at<00:35:24.239><c> him.</c>

00:35:26.940 --> 00:35:28.960
But<00:35:27.239><c> truly</c><00:35:27.440><c> we</c><00:35:27.579><c> have.</c>

00:35:29.800 --> 00:35:32.219
And<00:35:30.039><c> we</c><00:35:30.119><c> see</c><00:35:30.239><c> him</c><00:35:30.400><c> every</c><00:35:30.639><c> day.</c>

00:35:35.579 --> 00:35:39.739
So<00:35:35.980><c> as</c><00:35:36.079><c> we</c><00:35:36.179><c> take</c><00:35:36.340><c> the</c><00:35:36.460><c> bread</c><00:35:36.539><c> and</c><00:35:36.659><c> the</c><00:35:36.820><c> wine,</c><00:35:38.219><c> may</c><00:35:38.320><c> we</c><00:35:38.539><c> see</c><00:35:38.699><c> him.</c>
