00:00:06.280 --> 00:00:08.419
Let's<00:00:06.719><c> take</c><00:00:06.860><c> a</c><00:00:07.000><c> look</c><00:00:07.120><c> at</c><00:00:07.240><c> the</c><00:00:07.459><c> parables.</c>

00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:10.640
And<00:00:08.480><c> some</c><00:00:08.660><c> of</c><00:00:08.759><c> you,</c><00:00:08.919><c> anyone</c><00:00:09.199><c> here</c><00:00:09.400><c> read</c><00:00:09.560><c> the</c><00:00:09.779><c> tidings?</c>

00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:14.179
Has<00:00:12.199><c> any</c><00:00:12.439><c> of</c><00:00:12.500><c> the</c><00:00:12.720><c> articles</c><00:00:12.980><c> on</c><00:00:13.179><c> the</c><00:00:13.439><c> parables?</c>

00:00:14.539 --> 00:00:15.599
I<00:00:14.880><c> didn't</c><00:00:15.099><c> think</c><00:00:15.300><c> so.</c>

00:00:15.939 --> 00:00:17.339
So<00:00:16.219><c> I</c><00:00:16.320><c> can</c><00:00:16.500><c> get</c><00:00:16.679><c> away</c><00:00:16.859><c> with</c><00:00:17.079><c> this.</c>

00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:17.760
Okay.

00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:20.339
I<00:00:17.899><c> was</c><00:00:18.079><c> afraid</c><00:00:18.379><c> that</c><00:00:18.780><c> everyone</c><00:00:19.379><c> would</c><00:00:19.620><c> have</c><00:00:19.760><c> said,</c><00:00:19.899><c> oh,</c><00:00:20.079><c> I've</c>

00:00:20.339 --> 00:00:21.559
seen<00:00:20.500><c> all</c><00:00:20.739><c> of</c><00:00:20.859><c> that,</c><00:00:21.179><c> you</c><00:00:21.339><c> know,</c><00:00:21.339><c> let's</c>

00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:23.440
forget<00:00:21.760><c> about</c><00:00:22.000><c> it.</c>

00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:30.899
Jesus<00:00:26.839><c> Christ</c><00:00:27.480><c> taught</c><00:00:28.079><c> a</c><00:00:29.100><c> great</c><00:00:29.320><c> deal</c><00:00:29.559><c> with</c><00:00:29.839><c> parables.</c>

00:00:31.019 --> 00:00:35.619
And<00:00:31.160><c> sometimes</c><00:00:31.940><c> we</c><00:00:34.119><c> tend</c><00:00:34.320><c> to</c><00:00:34.539><c> forget</c><00:00:34.799><c> that</c><00:00:34.960><c> that's</c><00:00:35.200><c> part</c><00:00:35.439><c> of</c>

00:00:35.619 --> 00:00:38.600
the<00:00:35.820><c> doctrines</c><00:00:36.880><c> and</c><00:00:37.420><c> teachings</c><00:00:37.859><c> of</c><00:00:38.380><c> the</c>

00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:38.859
scripture.

00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:45.060
They're<00:00:39.119><c> not</c><00:00:39.299><c> just</c><00:00:39.520><c> a</c><00:00:39.979><c> group</c><00:00:40.159><c> of</c><00:00:40.520><c> stories</c><00:00:41.359><c> told</c><00:00:42.359><c> for</c><00:00:43.399><c> our</c><00:00:43.659><c> amusement,</c><00:00:44.399><c> something</c><00:00:44.679><c> like</c>

00:00:45.060 --> 00:00:46.479
Aesop's<00:00:45.619><c> fables.</c>

00:00:46.700 --> 00:00:51.820
But<00:00:47.340><c> parables</c><00:00:47.780><c> go</c><00:00:48.179><c> way</c><00:00:48.460><c> back</c><00:00:48.740><c> in</c><00:00:48.899><c> history</c><00:00:49.299><c> and</c><00:00:49.740><c> are</c><00:00:50.619><c> a</c><00:00:50.820><c> form</c><00:00:51.140><c> of</c>

00:00:51.820 --> 00:00:56.500
teaching<00:00:52.380><c> that</c><00:00:53.100><c> was</c><00:00:53.399><c> used</c><00:00:53.719><c> quite</c><00:00:55.299><c> familiarly</c>

00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:58.740
by<00:00:57.320><c> ancient</c><00:00:57.859><c> people.</c>

00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:01.179
We<00:00:59.280><c> still</c><00:00:59.579><c> do</c><00:00:59.740><c> it</c><00:00:59.859><c> today,</c><00:01:00.000><c> actually.</c>

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:02.479
There<00:01:01.780><c> are</c><00:01:01.799><c> lots</c><00:01:02.039><c> of</c><00:01:02.280><c> parables.</c>

00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:06.420
You<00:01:02.619><c> want</c><00:01:02.799><c> to</c><00:01:02.939><c> see</c><00:01:03.100><c> parables</c><00:01:03.719><c> turn</c><00:01:04.459><c> on</c><00:01:04.640><c> the</c><00:01:04.760><c> cartoon</c><00:01:05.180><c> channel,</c><00:01:06.040><c> right?</c>

00:01:06.420 --> 00:01:10.260
You've<00:01:06.599><c> got</c><00:01:06.700><c> Mickey</c><00:01:07.000><c> Mouse</c><00:01:07.379><c> and</c><00:01:07.579><c> you've</c><00:01:07.799><c> got</c><00:01:08.480><c> all</c><00:01:09.140><c> these</c><00:01:09.359><c> different</c><00:01:09.579><c> animals</c><00:01:09.980><c> who</c>

00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:11.180
say<00:01:10.439><c> and</c><00:01:10.659><c> do</c><00:01:10.799><c> things</c>

00:01:11.180 --> 00:01:15.299
that<00:01:11.640><c> mimic</c><00:01:12.099><c> adults</c><00:01:12.620><c> but</c><00:01:13.159><c> are</c><00:01:13.359><c> meant</c><00:01:13.599><c> to</c><00:01:13.980><c> represent</c><00:01:14.400><c> something</c><00:01:14.780><c> else.</c>

00:01:15.299 --> 00:01:19.840
And<00:01:15.859><c> so</c><00:01:16.060><c> in</c><00:01:16.280><c> a</c><00:01:16.420><c> sense,</c><00:01:17.140><c> those</c><00:01:17.140><c> are</c><00:01:17.900><c> what</c><00:01:18.239><c> parables</c><00:01:18.579><c> are</c><00:01:18.780><c> all</c><00:01:18.959><c> about.</c>

00:01:20.659 --> 00:01:26.920
You<00:01:21.239><c> set</c><00:01:21.640><c> something</c><00:01:22.260><c> up</c><00:01:22.659><c> to</c><00:01:22.840><c> tell</c><00:01:23.040><c> a</c><00:01:23.299><c> story</c><00:01:23.700><c> and</c><00:01:24.680><c> the</c><00:01:24.900><c> story</c><00:01:25.120><c> you're</c><00:01:25.319><c> actually</c><00:01:25.739><c> telling</c><00:01:25.920><c> has</c><00:01:26.299><c> a</c><00:01:26.620><c> deeper</c>

00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:30.019

00:01:30.939 --> 00:01:35.739
And<00:01:30.939><c> the</c><00:01:31.739><c> intent</c><00:01:32.079><c> of</c><00:01:32.459><c> the</c><00:01:33.400><c> parables</c><00:01:33.840><c> was</c><00:01:34.099><c> to</c><00:01:34.299><c> get</c><00:01:34.420><c> people</c><00:01:34.980><c> to</c>

00:01:35.739 --> 00:01:37.439
really<00:01:36.260><c> pay</c><00:01:36.959><c> attention.</c>

00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:42.819
And<00:01:37.620><c> if</c><00:01:37.719><c> you</c><00:01:37.920><c> look</c><00:01:38.200><c> at</c><00:01:38.659><c> a</c><00:01:38.819><c> lot</c><00:01:38.980><c> of</c><00:01:39.180><c> the</c><00:01:39.400><c> teaching</c><00:01:39.659><c> of</c><00:01:39.859><c> Jesus,</c><00:01:40.760><c> these</c><00:01:41.180><c> parables</c><00:01:41.599><c> were</c><00:01:41.819><c> based</c><00:01:42.079><c> on</c><00:01:42.500><c> older</c>

00:01:42.819 --> 00:01:44.599
stories<00:01:43.180><c> that</c><00:01:43.400><c> the</c><00:01:43.560><c> Jews</c><00:01:43.719><c> had.</c>

00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:49.939
And<00:01:44.840><c> if</c><00:01:44.959><c> you</c><00:01:45.159><c> read</c><00:01:45.379><c> in</c><00:01:45.540><c> the</c><00:01:45.780><c> Talmud</c><00:01:46.400><c> or</c><00:01:47.120><c> the</c><00:01:47.200><c> other</c><00:01:48.180><c> rabbi</c><00:01:49.040><c> writings,</c><00:01:49.900><c> many</c>

00:01:49.939 --> 00:01:51.140
of<00:01:50.180><c> the</c><00:01:50.439><c> parables,</c><00:01:50.760><c> Jesus</c>

00:01:51.140 --> 00:01:57.120
took<00:01:51.439><c> the</c><00:01:51.719><c> parable</c><00:01:51.939><c> from</c><00:01:52.159><c> that</c><00:01:52.500><c> story,</c><00:01:53.659><c> but</c><00:01:53.980><c> he</c><00:01:54.420><c> changed</c><00:01:55.340><c> the</c><00:01:56.060><c> punchline.</c>

00:01:57.739 --> 00:02:01.000
The<00:01:57.920><c> meaning</c><00:01:58.159><c> of</c><00:01:58.359><c> the</c><00:01:58.599><c> parable</c><00:01:59.180><c> was</c><00:01:59.719><c> focused</c><00:02:00.099><c> in</c><00:02:00.260><c> a</c><00:02:00.420><c> different</c><00:02:00.700><c> way.</c>

00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:04.519
So<00:02:01.400><c> many</c><00:02:01.680><c> times</c><00:02:02.040><c> the</c><00:02:02.319><c> hearers</c><00:02:02.620><c> were</c><00:02:02.819><c> familiar</c><00:02:03.219><c> with</c><00:02:03.379><c> the</c><00:02:03.680><c> story,</c><00:02:04.239><c> but</c>

00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:06.359
then<00:02:04.760><c> when</c><00:02:04.859><c> he</c><00:02:05.040><c> came</c><00:02:05.340><c> to</c><00:02:05.579><c> his</c><00:02:05.879><c> conclusion,</c>

00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:11.400
it<00:02:06.480><c> was</c><00:02:06.719><c> like,</c><00:02:07.980><c> oh,</c><00:02:08.240><c> wow,</c><00:02:09.180><c> that's</c><00:02:10.419><c> not</c><00:02:10.659><c> what</c><00:02:10.740><c> they</c><00:02:11.139><c> expected.</c>

00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.840
Let's<00:02:12.180><c> take</c><00:02:12.439><c> a</c><00:02:12.479><c> look</c><00:02:12.639><c> at</c><00:02:12.879><c> a</c><00:02:13.080><c> few</c><00:02:13.300><c> places.</c>

00:02:14.099 --> 00:02:15.960
Matthew<00:02:14.460><c> chapter</c><00:02:14.879><c> 13.</c>

00:02:15.979 --> 00:02:18.139
And<00:02:16.159><c> I'm</c><00:02:16.400><c> going</c><00:02:16.580><c> to</c><00:02:16.740><c> ask</c><00:02:16.919><c> you</c><00:02:17.080><c> to</c><00:02:17.240><c> help</c><00:02:17.379><c> me</c><00:02:17.620><c> with</c><00:02:17.759><c> the</c><00:02:17.960><c> reading</c>

00:02:18.139 --> 00:02:19.580
because<00:02:18.460><c> I'm</c><00:02:19.060><c> going</c><00:02:19.139><c> to</c><00:02:19.180><c> have</c><00:02:19.340><c> to</c><00:02:19.460><c> give</c>

another<00:02:19.879><c> class</c><00:02:20.460><c> and</c><00:02:21.219><c> this</c><00:02:21.479><c> way</c><00:02:21.560><c> you'll</c><00:02:21.900><c> save</c><00:02:22.039><c> my</c><00:02:22.379><c> voice.</c>

00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:30.759
And<00:02:25.120><c> so</c><00:02:25.639><c> I'll</c><00:02:26.259><c> go</c><00:02:26.719><c> around</c><00:02:27.099><c> the</c><00:02:27.319><c> room</c><00:02:28.020><c> from</c><00:02:28.539><c> my</c><00:02:28.800><c> right</c><00:02:29.080><c> and</c>

don't<00:02:31.439><c> worry</c><00:02:31.879><c> about</c><00:02:32.680><c> reading.</c>

00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:37.180
In<00:02:33.340><c> fact,</c><00:02:33.620><c> he</c><00:02:33.939><c> can</c><00:02:34.199><c> sign</c><00:02:34.620><c> and</c><00:02:35.360><c> you</c><00:02:35.900><c> talk</c><00:02:36.360><c> for</c><00:02:36.560><c> him</c><00:02:36.639><c> when</c><00:02:36.759><c> it</c><00:02:36.819><c> gets</c><00:02:37.000><c> to</c>

00:02:40.620 --> 00:02:42.800
I'll<00:02:41.180><c> give</c><00:02:41.659><c> you</c><00:02:41.819><c> the</c><00:02:41.960><c> copy.</c>

00:02:42.860 --> 00:02:45.860
OK,<00:02:43.400><c> Matthew</c><00:02:43.780><c> 13,</c><00:02:44.400><c> 34.</c>

00:02:49.580 --> 00:02:52.139
All<00:02:49.580><c> these</c><00:02:49.879><c> things</c><00:02:50.159><c> speak</c><00:02:50.379><c> Jesus</c><00:02:50.639><c> unto</c><00:02:50.900><c> the</c><00:02:51.039><c> multitude</c><00:02:51.419><c> in</c><00:02:51.780><c> parables.</c>

00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:55.979
And<00:02:52.599><c> without</c><00:02:52.800><c> a</c><00:02:53.000><c> parable,</c><00:02:53.879><c> they</c><00:02:53.960><c> speak</c><00:02:54.139><c> he</c><00:02:54.300><c> not</c><00:02:54.580><c> unto</c><00:02:54.840><c> them.</c>

00:02:56.340 --> 00:03:00.340
It<00:02:56.500><c> might</c><00:02:56.780><c> be</c><00:02:57.180><c> fulfilled</c><00:02:57.520><c> which</c><00:02:57.860><c> was</c><00:02:58.159><c> spoken</c><00:02:58.439><c> by</c><00:02:58.699><c> the</c><00:02:58.900><c> prophet,</c><00:02:59.560><c> saying,</c>

00:03:00.620 --> 00:03:02.360
I<00:03:00.819><c> will</c><00:03:01.020><c> open</c><00:03:01.219><c> my</c><00:03:01.439><c> mouth</c><00:03:01.719><c> in</c><00:03:01.960><c> parables.</c>

00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:05.620
I<00:03:02.979><c> will</c><00:03:03.039><c> let</c><00:03:03.180><c> things</c><00:03:03.599><c> kept</c><00:03:03.960><c> secret</c><00:03:04.280><c> from</c><00:03:04.620><c> the</c><00:03:04.860><c> foundations</c><00:03:05.379><c> of</c>

00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:05.960
the<00:03:05.800><c> world.</c>

00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:06.639
OK.

00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.439
Let's<00:03:07.139><c> go</c><00:03:07.599><c> slow,</c><00:03:07.840><c> make</c><00:03:08.060><c> sure</c><00:03:08.240><c> everybody's</c><00:03:08.800><c> got</c><00:03:08.960><c> the</c><00:03:09.120><c> verse.</c>

00:03:09.699 --> 00:03:10.819
Stop<00:03:09.840><c> there.</c>

00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:17.120
So<00:03:11.219><c> verse</c><00:03:11.479><c> 34,</c><00:03:12.400><c> he</c><00:03:12.520><c> said,</c><00:03:13.379><c> all</c><00:03:13.400><c> these</c><00:03:13.740><c> things</c><00:03:14.020><c> speak</c><00:03:14.280><c> Jesus</c><00:03:14.699><c> unto</c><00:03:14.960><c> the</c><00:03:15.199><c> multitude</c><00:03:15.740><c> in</c><00:03:16.199><c> parables.</c>

00:03:17.419 --> 00:03:20.580
So<00:03:17.620><c> he</c><00:03:18.060><c> used</c><00:03:18.400><c> parables</c><00:03:19.000><c> over</c><00:03:19.439><c> and</c><00:03:19.539><c> over</c><00:03:19.780><c> again</c><00:03:20.000><c> to</c><00:03:20.219><c> speak</c><00:03:20.419><c> to</c>

00:03:20.580 --> 00:03:21.039
the<00:03:20.759><c> people.</c>

00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:23.819
This<00:03:21.539><c> was</c><00:03:21.819><c> his</c><00:03:22.080><c> common</c><00:03:22.379><c> way</c><00:03:22.580><c> of</c><00:03:23.340><c> speaking.</c>

00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:29.939
And<00:03:24.360><c> if</c><00:03:24.460><c> you</c><00:03:24.599><c> look</c><00:03:24.759><c> through</c><00:03:25.419><c> Matthew,</c><00:03:27.219><c> Mark,</c><00:03:28.000><c> and</c><00:03:28.319><c> Luke,</c><00:03:29.659><c> you</c>

00:03:29.939 --> 00:03:32.580
see<00:03:30.259><c> that</c><00:03:30.680><c> the</c><00:03:30.840><c> gospel</c><00:03:31.159><c> record</c><00:03:31.439><c> is</c><00:03:32.000><c> filled</c><00:03:32.300><c> with</c><00:03:32.500><c> it.</c>

00:03:32.620 --> 00:03:35.080
In<00:03:32.780><c> fact,</c><00:03:32.939><c> if</c><00:03:33.060><c> you</c><00:03:33.180><c> took</c><00:03:33.319><c> the</c><00:03:33.599><c> parables</c><00:03:33.879><c> away,</c><00:03:34.740><c> you</c><00:03:34.879><c> wouldn't</c>

00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:36.460
have<00:03:35.259><c> any</c><00:03:35.520><c> stories</c><00:03:35.780><c> in</c><00:03:35.960><c> the</c><00:03:36.080><c> first</c><00:03:36.219><c> three</c>

00:03:36.460 --> 00:03:37.500
gospels.

00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:39.919
And<00:03:37.879><c> when</c><00:03:38.000><c> you</c><00:03:38.080><c> get</c><00:03:38.219><c> to</c><00:03:38.400><c> the</c><00:03:38.439><c> book</c><00:03:38.680><c> of</c><00:03:38.860><c> John,</c><00:03:39.460><c> there's</c><00:03:39.659><c> almost</c>

00:03:39.919 --> 00:03:41.219
no<00:03:40.180><c> parables.</c>

00:03:41.740 --> 00:03:45.159
In<00:03:41.900><c> fact,</c><00:03:42.400><c> people</c><00:03:43.139><c> have</c><00:03:43.479><c> disputed</c><00:03:43.860><c> whether</c><00:03:44.240><c> any</c><00:03:44.599><c> of</c><00:03:44.780><c> John</c><00:03:44.919><c> has</c>

00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:45.759
any<00:03:45.479><c> parables.</c>

00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:50.560
But<00:03:46.039><c> I</c><00:03:46.159><c> think</c><00:03:46.699><c> there</c><00:03:47.020><c> are</c><00:03:47.740><c> probably</c><00:03:48.219><c> two</c><00:03:49.520><c> places.</c>

00:03:50.580 --> 00:03:52.159
Why<00:03:51.020><c> the</c><00:03:51.240><c> difference?</c>

00:03:52.419 --> 00:03:56.539
Well,<00:03:52.819><c> John's</c><00:03:53.319><c> book</c><00:03:53.520><c> was</c><00:03:53.819><c> written</c><00:03:54.240><c> very</c><00:03:55.680><c> late.</c>

00:03:56.580 --> 00:04:02.000
And<00:03:57.139><c> it</c><00:03:57.400><c> was</c><00:03:57.639><c> written</c><00:03:57.879><c> to</c><00:03:58.219><c> sort</c><00:03:58.360><c> of</c><00:03:58.719><c> correct</c><00:03:58.939><c> some</c><00:03:59.240><c> of</c><00:03:59.460><c> the</c><00:04:00.520><c> problems</c><00:04:00.939><c> that</c><00:04:01.139><c> were</c><00:04:01.379><c> occurring</c><00:04:01.639><c> in</c><00:04:01.819><c> the</c>

00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:03.199
Ecclesias<00:04:02.300><c> in</c><00:04:02.479><c> the</c><00:04:02.539><c> first</c><00:04:02.759><c> century.</c>

00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:06.979
It<00:04:03.740><c> was</c><00:04:04.000><c> written</c><00:04:04.219><c> probably</c><00:04:05.020><c> 40</c><00:04:05.479><c> to</c><00:04:05.620><c> 50</c><00:04:05.979><c> years</c><00:04:06.379><c> after</c><00:04:06.780><c> the</c>

00:04:06.979 --> 00:04:08.500
first<00:04:07.159><c> three</c><00:04:07.479><c> parables.</c>

00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.680
The<00:04:08.699><c> first</c><00:04:08.900><c> three</c><00:04:09.219><c> parables</c><00:04:09.699><c> were</c><00:04:10.439><c> based</c><00:04:10.759><c> strictly</c><00:04:11.360><c> on</c><00:04:11.539><c> the</c>

00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:12.939
life<00:04:11.860><c> of</c><00:04:12.080><c> Christ.</c>

00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:17.540
So<00:04:12.960><c> the</c><00:04:13.919><c> gospel</c><00:04:14.280><c> writers</c><00:04:14.659><c> pretty</c><00:04:15.379><c> much</c><00:04:15.719><c> foretold</c><00:04:16.660><c> and</c><00:04:17.220><c> laid</c>

00:04:17.540 --> 00:04:20.639
out<00:04:17.839><c> the</c><00:04:18.040><c> story</c><00:04:18.379><c> the</c><00:04:18.699><c> way</c><00:04:18.879><c> Jesus</c><00:04:19.279><c> told</c><00:04:19.620><c> it.</c>

00:04:21.139 --> 00:04:27.839
And<00:04:21.139><c> so</c><00:04:22.279><c> they</c><00:04:22.519><c> had</c><00:04:22.699><c> a</c><00:04:22.819><c> much</c><00:04:23.000><c> more</c><00:04:23.839><c> direct</c><00:04:24.399><c> influence</c><00:04:25.079><c> on</c><00:04:26.720><c> angst.</c>

00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:29.399
Did<00:04:28.100><c> anyone</c><00:04:28.339><c> miss</c><00:04:28.620><c> signing</c><00:04:28.899><c> this?</c>

00:04:29.660 --> 00:04:30.939
Anyone<00:04:29.899><c> come</c><00:04:30.100><c> in</c><00:04:30.259><c> later?</c>

00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:32.180
Good.

00:04:32.339 --> 00:04:37.019
So<00:04:32.660><c> this</c><00:04:33.360><c> idea</c><00:04:34.300><c> of</c><00:04:34.519><c> speaking</c><00:04:34.819><c> in</c><00:04:35.160><c> parables</c><00:04:35.519><c> was</c><00:04:35.980><c> the</c><00:04:36.319><c> main</c><00:04:36.699><c> way</c>

00:04:37.019 --> 00:04:38.180
of<00:04:37.199><c> his</c><00:04:37.399><c> teaching.</c>

00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:43.779
So<00:04:39.439><c> it</c><00:04:39.959><c> really</c><00:04:40.240><c> does</c><00:04:40.519><c> pay</c><00:04:40.699><c> for</c><00:04:40.819><c> us</c><00:04:40.939><c> to</c><00:04:41.139><c> pay</c><00:04:42.040><c> some</c><00:04:42.420><c> attention</c><00:04:43.019><c> to</c>

00:04:43.779 --> 00:04:44.579
this<00:04:43.980><c> kind</c><00:04:44.180><c> of</c><00:04:44.379><c> teaching.</c>

00:04:44.699 --> 00:04:48.000
Now,<00:04:44.839><c> in</c><00:04:44.939><c> the</c><00:04:45.100><c> Old</c><00:04:45.279><c> Testament,</c><00:04:46.579><c> there</c><00:04:46.779><c> are</c><00:04:47.079><c> a</c><00:04:47.259><c> few</c><00:04:47.439><c> parables.</c>

00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:50.120
But<00:04:48.500><c> it</c><00:04:48.660><c> wasn't</c><00:04:48.899><c> the</c><00:04:49.160><c> major</c><00:04:49.420><c> way</c><00:04:49.639><c> of</c><00:04:49.839><c> teaching.</c>

00:04:50.579 --> 00:04:53.279
Does<00:04:50.699><c> anybody</c><00:04:50.939><c> know</c><00:04:51.300><c> of</c><00:04:51.519><c> any</c><00:04:51.680><c> other</c><00:04:52.079><c> form</c><00:04:52.339><c> of</c><00:04:52.660><c> parables</c><00:04:52.980><c> that</c>

00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.459
you<00:04:53.839><c> sort</c><00:04:53.939><c> of</c><00:04:54.319><c> have</c><00:04:54.500><c> heard</c><00:04:54.699><c> of</c><00:04:54.839><c> or</c><00:04:55.000><c> seen</c><00:04:55.259><c> of</c>

00:04:55.459 --> 00:04:57.019
that<00:04:55.779><c> goes</c><00:04:56.000><c> back</c><00:04:56.300><c> to</c><00:04:56.480><c> ancient</c><00:04:56.660><c> times?</c>

00:04:57.019 --> 00:05:02.720
When<00:04:57.660><c> the</c><00:04:59.980><c> prophet</c><00:05:00.279><c> came</c><00:05:00.519><c> to</c><00:05:00.680><c> David</c><00:05:01.420><c> and</c><00:05:02.120><c> was</c><00:05:02.319><c> telling</c><00:05:02.480><c> about</c>

00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:06.600
the<00:05:02.959><c> lamb</c><00:05:03.740><c> and</c><00:05:04.560><c> stealing</c><00:05:04.939><c> it</c><00:05:05.220><c> or</c><00:05:05.339><c> something</c><00:05:05.540><c> like</c><00:05:05.800><c> that.</c>

00:05:07.139 --> 00:05:12.120
When<00:05:07.300><c> Nathan</c><00:05:08.199><c> came</c><00:05:08.519><c> to</c><00:05:08.680><c> David,</c><00:05:09.980><c> what</c><00:05:10.079><c> had</c><00:05:10.879><c> David</c><00:05:11.240><c> done?</c>

00:05:12.139 --> 00:05:13.839
He<00:05:12.459><c> judged</c><00:05:12.759><c> himself.</c>

00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:16.060
No,<00:05:14.459><c> no,</c><00:05:14.540><c> not</c><00:05:15.160><c> what</c><00:05:15.420><c> he</c><00:05:15.620><c> did</c><00:05:15.720><c> after.</c>

00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:17.560
What<00:05:16.240><c> did</c><00:05:16.379><c> he</c><00:05:16.519><c> do</c><00:05:16.699><c> that?</c>

00:05:17.779 --> 00:05:22.339
He<00:05:18.079><c> took</c><00:05:19.800><c> Bathsheba,</c><00:05:20.959><c> was</c><00:05:20.980><c> it?</c>

00:05:22.379 --> 00:05:27.100
Bathsheba<00:05:22.899><c> from</c><00:05:23.420><c> her</c><00:05:24.839><c> husband</c><00:05:25.259><c> and</c><00:05:25.480><c> killed</c><00:05:25.639><c> him</c><00:05:25.899><c> or</c><00:05:26.000><c> something</c><00:05:26.180><c> like</c><00:05:26.420><c> that.</c>

00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:29.420
Yeah,<00:05:27.819><c> something</c><00:05:28.040><c> like</c><00:05:28.339><c> that,</c><00:05:28.560><c> right.</c>

00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.540
He<00:05:31.879><c> committed</c><00:05:32.399><c> a</c><00:05:32.579><c> huge</c><00:05:32.800><c> booboo,</c><00:05:33.319><c> right?</c>

00:05:33.540 --> 00:05:36.199
He<00:05:34.060><c> killed</c><00:05:34.540><c> Uriah.</c>

00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.439
And<00:05:36.420><c> Nathan</c><00:05:36.639><c> went</c><00:05:36.860><c> to</c><00:05:36.980><c> him</c><00:05:37.100><c> and</c><00:05:37.120><c> told</c><00:05:37.279><c> him</c><00:05:37.459><c> the</c><00:05:37.680><c> story.</c>

00:05:38.480 --> 00:05:41.019
And<00:05:38.680><c> the</c><00:05:38.860><c> story</c><00:05:39.120><c> was</c><00:05:39.439><c> couched</c><00:05:39.899><c> in</c><00:05:40.079><c> the</c><00:05:40.220><c> terms</c><00:05:40.399><c> of</c><00:05:40.600><c> a</c><00:05:40.759><c> parable.</c>

00:05:41.060 --> 00:05:45.079
It<00:05:41.120><c> was</c><00:05:41.600><c> about</c><00:05:41.860><c> a</c><00:05:42.079><c> lamb</c><00:05:42.399><c> being</c><00:05:43.220><c> stolen</c><00:05:43.540><c> away</c><00:05:43.839><c> and</c><00:05:44.000><c> so</c><00:05:44.240><c> on.</c>

00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:49.259
And<00:05:45.639><c> basically,</c><00:05:47.420><c> David</c><00:05:47.759><c> heard</c><00:05:48.139><c> the</c><00:05:48.399><c> story</c><00:05:48.699><c> and</c><00:05:48.959><c> he</c><00:05:49.120><c> didn't</c>

00:05:49.259 --> 00:05:50.519
catch<00:05:49.519><c> on.</c>

00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:52.220
He<00:05:51.759><c> heard</c><00:05:51.920><c> the</c><00:05:52.079><c> story.</c>

00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:53.279
He<00:05:52.279><c> didn't</c><00:05:52.420><c> catch</c><00:05:52.639><c> on</c><00:05:52.800><c> to</c><00:05:52.899><c> the</c><00:05:53.120><c> parable.</c>

00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:55.839
And<00:05:53.540><c> finally,</c><00:05:53.759><c> Nathan</c><00:05:54.500><c> points</c><00:05:54.959><c> to</c><00:05:55.060><c> him</c><00:05:55.180><c> and</c><00:05:55.199><c> he</c><00:05:55.259><c> says,</c><00:05:55.639><c> thou</c>

00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:57.019
art<00:05:56.100><c> the</c><00:05:56.300><c> man.</c>

00:05:57.660 --> 00:05:59.540
And<00:05:57.860><c> suddenly,</c><00:05:58.540><c> the</c><00:05:58.660><c> realization</c><00:05:59.120><c> came</c><00:05:59.399><c> through.</c>

00:05:59.620 --> 00:06:01.019
Now,<00:05:59.779><c> a</c><00:05:59.839><c> lot</c><00:06:00.060><c> of</c><00:06:00.300><c> parables</c><00:06:00.500><c> are</c><00:06:00.720><c> like</c><00:06:00.899><c> that.</c>

00:06:01.019 --> 00:06:03.339
You<00:06:01.160><c> could</c><00:06:01.379><c> read</c><00:06:01.620><c> through</c><00:06:01.839><c> it</c><00:06:02.100><c> and</c><00:06:02.360><c> you</c><00:06:02.519><c> go,</c><00:06:02.720><c> what</c><00:06:02.860><c> does</c><00:06:03.019><c> that</c><00:06:03.220><c> mean?</c>

00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:04.680
How<00:06:03.759><c> does</c><00:06:03.879><c> that</c><00:06:04.079><c> apply</c><00:06:04.300><c> to</c><00:06:04.500><c> me?</c>

00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:07.480
And<00:06:05.279><c> suddenly,</c><00:06:05.879><c> if</c><00:06:06.040><c> you</c><00:06:06.259><c> think</c><00:06:06.459><c> about</c><00:06:06.699><c> it</c><00:06:06.899><c> a</c><00:06:07.000><c> while</c><00:06:07.139><c> and</c><00:06:07.279><c> do</c><00:06:07.439><c> a</c>

00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:08.899
little<00:06:07.680><c> other</c><00:06:07.959><c> studying</c><00:06:08.279><c> about</c><00:06:08.579><c> it,</c>

00:06:09.100 --> 00:06:12.360
it<00:06:09.180><c> comes</c><00:06:09.420><c> to</c><00:06:09.540><c> when</c><00:06:09.639><c> you</c><00:06:09.720><c> go,</c><00:06:10.500><c> you</c><00:06:10.600><c> know,</c><00:06:11.259><c> the</c><00:06:11.379><c> light</c><00:06:11.660><c> bulb</c><00:06:11.839><c> goes</c><00:06:12.079><c> on</c>

00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:13.819
and<00:06:12.459><c> you</c><00:06:12.579><c> go,</c><00:06:12.860><c> wow.</c>

00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:16.079
And<00:06:14.800><c> that's</c><00:06:15.199><c> exactly</c><00:06:15.620><c> the</c><00:06:15.920><c> intent.</c>

00:06:16.180 --> 00:06:18.459
Now,<00:06:16.319><c> there's</c><00:06:16.639><c> other</c><00:06:16.920><c> parables</c><00:06:17.300><c> outside</c><00:06:17.800><c> of</c><00:06:17.939><c> the</c><00:06:18.100><c> scriptures.</c>

00:06:18.459 --> 00:06:21.920
Anyone<00:06:18.459><c> know</c><00:06:19.500><c> of</c><00:06:19.620><c> any</c><00:06:19.839><c> other</c><00:06:20.019><c> ancient</c><00:06:20.420><c> parables</c><00:06:20.959><c> not</c><00:06:21.579><c> in</c><00:06:21.740><c> the</c>

00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.100

00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:27.939
Yes,<00:06:26.699><c> Aesop's</c><00:06:27.100><c> fables.</c>

00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:35.100
Aesop's<00:06:30.279><c> fables</c><00:06:30.560><c> were</c><00:06:31.019><c> the</c><00:06:31.240><c> Greeks</c><00:06:31.540><c> probably</c><00:06:32.480><c> about</c><00:06:32.759><c> the</c><00:06:33.000><c> same</c><00:06:33.259><c> time</c><00:06:34.279><c> as,</c>

the<00:06:36.600><c> histories</c><00:06:37.060><c> that</c><00:06:37.360><c> we're</c><00:06:37.560><c> going</c><00:06:37.720><c> to</c><00:06:38.019><c> do</c><00:06:38.120><c> in</c><00:06:38.259><c> the</c><00:06:38.399><c> adult</c><00:06:38.579><c> class,</c><00:06:38.980><c> 7th</c>

00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:43.399
Aesop's<00:06:41.319><c> fables</c><00:06:41.579><c> are</c><00:06:41.839><c> based</c><00:06:42.100><c> all</c><00:06:42.420><c> on</c><00:06:42.639><c> animal</c><00:06:42.899><c> stories.</c>

00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:47.899
And<00:06:44.079><c> the</c><00:06:44.240><c> idea</c><00:06:44.560><c> was</c><00:06:44.819><c> to</c><00:06:44.959><c> put</c><00:06:45.180><c> into</c><00:06:45.639><c> animal</c><00:06:46.139><c> stories</c><00:06:47.079><c> moral</c>

00:06:49.579 --> 00:06:52.040
The<00:06:49.660><c> kind</c><00:06:49.899><c> of</c><00:06:50.000><c> famous</c><00:06:50.319><c> one</c><00:06:50.519><c> is</c><00:06:50.680><c> the</c><00:06:50.879><c> tortoise</c><00:06:51.180><c> and</c><00:06:51.319><c> the</c><00:06:51.480><c> hare,</c><00:06:51.660><c> right?</c>

00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:56.379
Where<00:06:52.579><c> the</c><00:06:53.199><c> tortoise</c><00:06:54.180><c> is,</c><00:06:55.079><c> what's</c><00:06:55.980><c> a</c><00:06:56.139><c> tortoise?</c>

00:06:56.519 --> 00:06:57.620
A<00:06:56.579><c> turtle,</c><00:06:56.860><c> right?</c>

00:06:57.660 --> 00:07:01.060
The<00:06:57.899><c> turtle</c><00:06:58.199><c> can't</c><00:06:58.839><c> go</c><00:06:59.040><c> very</c><00:06:59.379><c> fast</c><00:06:59.720><c> and</c><00:07:00.139><c> the</c><00:07:00.360><c> hare</c><00:07:00.480><c> runs</c><00:07:00.720><c> very</c>

00:07:01.060 --> 00:07:02.639
fast,<00:07:01.300><c> but</c><00:07:01.560><c> they</c><00:07:01.959><c> have</c><00:07:02.100><c> this</c><00:07:02.399><c> race.</c>

00:07:02.740 --> 00:07:05.360
And<00:07:02.779><c> of</c><00:07:02.980><c> course,</c><00:07:03.319><c> the</c><00:07:03.639><c> hare</c><00:07:03.839><c> is</c><00:07:04.100><c> always</c><00:07:04.360><c> fooling</c><00:07:04.699><c> around</c><00:07:05.060><c> and</c>

00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.540
stopping<00:07:05.560><c> over</c><00:07:06.060><c> and</c><00:07:06.779><c> having</c><00:07:06.980><c> a</c><00:07:07.240><c> beer</c>

00:07:07.540 --> 00:07:10.439
and<00:07:07.740><c> fooling</c><00:07:08.040><c> around</c><00:07:08.160><c> with</c><00:07:08.279><c> the</c><00:07:08.459><c> local</c><00:07:08.959><c> other</c><00:07:09.420><c> hares,</c><00:07:09.860><c> whatever</c><00:07:10.100><c> it</c><00:07:10.220><c> is.</c>

00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:13.240
But<00:07:10.519><c> the</c><00:07:11.019><c> tortoise</c><00:07:11.279><c> just</c><00:07:11.500><c> goes</c><00:07:11.720><c> on</c><00:07:11.860><c> his</c><00:07:12.060><c> way,</c><00:07:12.839><c> plodding</c>

00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:14.459
along,<00:07:13.660><c> plodding</c><00:07:14.120><c> along.</c>

00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:18.439
And<00:07:14.939><c> finally,</c><00:07:16.620><c> he</c><00:07:16.879><c> makes</c><00:07:17.120><c> it</c><00:07:17.300><c> to</c><00:07:17.399><c> the</c><00:07:17.579><c> finish</c><00:07:17.720><c> line</c><00:07:18.079><c> and</c><00:07:18.279><c> the</c>

00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.699

00:07:20.740 --> 00:07:23.300
And<00:07:20.819><c> the</c><00:07:21.000><c> moral</c><00:07:21.199><c> of</c><00:07:21.540><c> the</c><00:07:21.560><c> parable</c><00:07:21.819><c> is?</c>

00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:25.060
Slow<00:07:24.439><c> but</c><00:07:24.759><c> steady.</c>

00:07:25.540 --> 00:07:28.860
Slow<00:07:26.060><c> but</c><00:07:26.300><c> steady,</c><00:07:26.800><c> right.</c><00:07:27.060><c> Persistent,</c><00:07:27.660><c> slow</c><00:07:27.839><c> but</c><00:07:28.100><c> steady.</c>

00:07:30.500 --> 00:07:32.519
So<00:07:31.019><c> every</c><00:07:31.540><c> parable</c><00:07:31.860><c> has</c><00:07:32.180><c> this</c><00:07:32.399><c> moral.</c>

Everybody<00:07:52.579><c> knows</c><00:07:53.000><c> about</c><00:07:53.560><c> the</c><00:07:53.779><c> parable</c><00:07:54.019><c> of</c><00:07:54.220><c> Sola.</c>

00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:57.120
You<00:07:55.160><c> can</c><00:07:55.399><c> tell</c><00:07:55.540><c> that</c><00:07:55.759><c> to</c><00:07:55.839><c> people</c><00:07:56.100><c> who've</c><00:07:56.379><c> never</c><00:07:56.740><c> even</c><00:07:56.959><c> heard</c>

00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:22.579
Remember<00:08:19.259><c> in</c><00:08:20.160><c> the</c><00:08:20.379><c> first</c><00:08:20.600><c> century</c><00:08:21.160><c> and</c><00:08:21.779><c> almost</c><00:08:22.060><c> all</c><00:08:22.300><c> the</c><00:08:22.379><c> way</c>

down<00:08:22.819><c> to</c><00:08:23.019><c> our</c><00:08:23.220><c> time,</c><00:08:23.980><c> people</c><00:08:24.339><c> didn't</c><00:08:24.660><c> have</c><00:08:25.259><c> books.</c>

00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:28.139
This<00:08:26.199><c> is</c><00:08:26.420><c> pretty</c><00:08:27.759><c> easy.</c>

00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:31.300
It<00:08:28.279><c> wasn't</c><00:08:28.579><c> until</c><00:08:28.899><c> the</c><00:08:29.120><c> 16th</c><00:08:29.699><c> century</c><00:08:29.939><c> in</c><00:08:30.160><c> Gutenberg</c><00:08:30.720><c> that</c>

00:08:33.419 --> 00:08:36.480
Previous<00:08:33.899><c> to</c><00:08:34.100><c> that,</c><00:08:34.639><c> the</c><00:08:34.700><c> only</c><00:08:35.120><c> Bibles</c><00:08:35.539><c> were</c><00:08:35.919><c> scrolls</c><00:08:36.440><c> that</c>

00:08:38.220 --> 00:08:40.539
And<00:08:38.340><c> they</c><00:08:38.419><c> were</c><00:08:38.620><c> only</c><00:08:38.940><c> read</c><00:08:39.120><c> in</c><00:08:39.299><c> the</c><00:08:39.500><c> synagogue</c><00:08:39.879><c> to</c><00:08:40.100><c> the</c><00:08:40.259><c> people.</c>

00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.220
People<00:08:41.039><c> didn't</c><00:08:41.259><c> have</c><00:08:41.480><c> a</c><00:08:41.639><c> library</c><00:08:42.019><c> in</c><00:08:42.200><c> their</c><00:08:42.340><c> house.</c>

00:08:44.100 --> 00:08:48.039
They<00:08:44.320><c> didn't</c><00:08:44.539><c> have,</c><00:08:44.860><c> as</c><00:08:45.080><c> I</c><00:08:45.240><c> got</c><00:08:45.379><c> in</c><00:08:45.559><c> my</c><00:08:45.919><c> bag</c><00:08:46.179><c> back</c><00:08:46.460><c> there,</c><00:08:46.820><c> a</c><00:08:46.820><c> pocket</c><00:08:47.159><c> computer</c><00:08:47.700><c> to</c>

00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.679
go<00:08:48.399><c> tapping</c><00:08:48.580><c> through</c><00:08:48.899><c> and</c><00:08:49.139><c> finding</c><00:08:49.340><c> all</c><00:08:49.600><c> the</c><00:08:49.740><c> verses</c><00:08:50.019><c> I</c><00:08:50.200><c> wanted</c><00:08:50.419><c> to</c>

00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:56.220
So<00:08:52.740><c> they</c><00:08:53.320><c> needed</c><00:08:53.759><c> a</c><00:08:54.240><c> way</c><00:08:54.379><c> to</c><00:08:54.580><c> put</c><00:08:54.759><c> everything</c><00:08:55.080><c> up</c><00:08:55.399><c> here.</c>

00:08:56.580 --> 00:09:00.519
And<00:08:57.019><c> I</c><00:08:57.379><c> think</c><00:08:57.639><c> we</c><00:08:58.059><c> don't</c><00:08:58.279><c> always</c><00:08:58.539><c> appreciate</c><00:08:59.000><c> that</c><00:08:59.259><c> today</c><00:08:59.419><c> because</c><00:08:59.740><c> most</c><00:09:00.059><c> people,</c><00:09:00.360><c> I</c>

00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:02.799

00:09:02.980 --> 00:09:05.179
That's<00:09:03.179><c> very,</c><00:09:03.519><c> you</c><00:09:03.700><c> know,</c><00:09:03.700><c> you</c><00:09:03.840><c> really</c><00:09:04.080><c> have</c><00:09:04.220><c> to</c><00:09:04.320><c> have</c><00:09:04.559><c> concentration.</c>

00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:07.980
One<00:09:05.759><c> of</c><00:09:05.899><c> the</c><00:09:06.000><c> things</c><00:09:06.179><c> I</c><00:09:06.440><c> like</c><00:09:06.580><c> about</c><00:09:06.820><c> being</c><00:09:07.139><c> a</c><00:09:07.399><c> physicist</c><00:09:07.700><c> is</c><00:09:07.879><c> I</c>

00:09:07.980 --> 00:09:09.600
don't<00:09:08.100><c> have</c><00:09:08.259><c> to</c><00:09:08.440><c> remember</c><00:09:08.740><c> anything.</c>

00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.000
There's<00:09:10.220><c> only</c><00:09:10.440><c> two</c><00:09:10.639><c> or</c><00:09:10.779><c> three</c><00:09:11.000><c> equations</c><00:09:11.440><c> and</c><00:09:11.700><c> everything</c>

00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:13.220
else<00:09:12.220><c> you</c><00:09:12.399><c> get</c><00:09:12.559><c> derived</c><00:09:12.899><c> from</c><00:09:13.080><c> there.</c>

00:09:13.220 --> 00:09:15.899
If<00:09:13.340><c> I</c><00:09:13.480><c> had</c><00:09:13.580><c> to</c><00:09:13.700><c> be</c><00:09:13.840><c> a</c><00:09:14.039><c> lawyer,</c><00:09:14.720><c> I</c><00:09:14.940><c> couldn't</c><00:09:15.179><c> remember</c><00:09:15.620><c> anything</c>

00:09:15.899 --> 00:09:17.899
because<00:09:16.059><c> you</c><00:09:16.220><c> have</c><00:09:16.360><c> to</c><00:09:16.539><c> remember</c><00:09:16.720><c> all</c><00:09:16.919><c> these</c><00:09:17.120><c> libraries</c><00:09:17.659><c> and</c>

00:09:17.899 --> 00:09:18.840
all<00:09:18.080><c> these</c><00:09:18.360><c> precedents.</c>

00:09:18.860 --> 00:09:21.720
And<00:09:18.960><c> this</c><00:09:19.179><c> happened</c><00:09:19.480><c> to</c><00:09:19.679><c> so</c><00:09:19.799><c>-and</c><00:09:19.960><c>-so</c><00:09:20.059><c> in</c><00:09:20.299><c> 1905</c><00:09:20.879><c> and</c><00:09:21.059><c> all.</c>

00:09:21.940 --> 00:09:23.600
That,<00:09:22.379><c> to</c><00:09:22.639><c> me,</c><00:09:22.820><c> that's</c><00:09:23.100><c> impossible.</c>

00:09:23.620 --> 00:09:24.519
I<00:09:23.759><c> can't</c><00:09:23.980><c> do</c><00:09:24.179><c> that.</c>

00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:29.139
So<00:09:25.440><c> the</c><00:09:26.019><c> idea</c><00:09:26.460><c> of</c><00:09:26.779><c> parables</c><00:09:27.120><c> is,</c><00:09:27.919><c> first,</c><00:09:27.960><c> to</c><00:09:28.120><c> make</c><00:09:28.240><c> a</c><00:09:28.360><c> powerful</c><00:09:28.820><c> point.</c>

00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:31.860
Second,<00:09:30.240><c> it's</c><00:09:30.360><c> something</c><00:09:30.600><c> that's</c><00:09:30.940><c> easily</c><00:09:31.299><c> remembered.</c>

00:09:32.179 --> 00:09:35.019

00:12:58.740 --> 00:13:00.919
The<00:12:58.840><c> problem</c><00:12:59.080><c> was</c><00:12:59.259><c> they</c><00:12:59.460><c> did</c><00:12:59.720><c> understand</c><00:13:00.259><c> them</c><00:13:00.399><c> and</c><00:13:00.419><c> they</c><00:13:00.600><c> wanted</c><00:13:00.700><c> to</c>

00:13:00.919 --> 00:13:01.679
kill<00:13:01.039><c> them</c>

00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:04.299
because<00:13:02.200><c> they</c><00:13:02.460><c> realized</c><00:13:02.960><c> that</c><00:13:03.159><c> those</c><00:13:03.440><c> parables</c><00:13:03.820><c> were</c><00:13:04.080><c> aimed</c>

00:13:04.299 --> 00:13:05.000
at<00:13:04.519><c> them,</c>

00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:06.539
and<00:13:05.440><c> they</c><00:13:05.600><c> didn't</c><00:13:05.759><c> like</c><00:13:05.940><c> it</c><00:13:06.120><c> one</c><00:13:06.320><c> bit.</c>

00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:10.500
Now,<00:13:06.940><c> in</c><00:13:07.019><c> this</c><00:13:07.240><c> parable,</c><00:13:08.919><c> the</c><00:13:09.080><c> prophet</c><00:13:09.460><c> explains</c><00:13:10.019><c> it.</c>

00:13:10.500 --> 00:13:12.440
He<00:13:10.700><c> says,</c><00:13:11.759><c> you're</c><00:13:11.899><c> the</c><00:13:12.080><c> vineyard.</c>

00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:14.980
You're<00:13:12.820><c> the</c><00:13:12.960><c> vineyard</c><00:13:13.259><c> that's</c><00:13:13.639><c> unfruitful.</c>

00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:16.679
God<00:13:15.259><c> planted</c><00:13:15.740><c> them</c><00:13:15.940><c> in</c><00:13:16.080><c> the</c><00:13:16.320><c> land.</c>

00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:20.240
In<00:13:16.960><c> verse</c><00:13:17.200><c> 2,</c><00:13:18.379><c> He</c><00:13:18.679><c> cleared</c><00:13:18.980><c> the</c><00:13:19.259><c> land</c><00:13:19.460><c> for</c><00:13:19.759><c> them.</c>

00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:24.500
He<00:13:20.720><c> planted</c><00:13:21.360><c> them</c><00:13:21.600><c> in</c><00:13:21.700><c> the</c><00:13:21.960><c> land,</c><00:13:23.240><c> but</c><00:13:23.320><c> they</c><00:13:23.600><c> didn't</c><00:13:24.100><c> bring</c>

00:13:24.500 --> 00:13:25.759
forth<00:13:24.840><c> fruit.</c>

00:13:26.379 --> 00:13:28.080
And<00:13:26.440><c> so</c><00:13:26.659><c> He</c><00:13:26.740><c> says</c><00:13:27.159><c> in</c><00:13:27.340><c> verse</c><00:13:27.519><c> 7,</c>

00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:30.679
the<00:13:28.340><c> vineyard</c><00:13:28.779><c> of</c><00:13:28.960><c> the</c><00:13:29.080><c> Lord</c><00:13:29.259><c> of</c><00:13:29.440><c> Hosts</c><00:13:29.700><c> is</c><00:13:29.840><c> the</c><00:13:29.940><c> house</c><00:13:30.159><c> of</c><00:13:30.360><c> Israel.</c>

00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:35.259
Now,<00:13:31.679><c> that</c><00:13:31.820><c> symbol,</c><00:13:32.919><c> that</c><00:13:33.399><c> parabolic</c><00:13:33.980><c> symbol</c><00:13:34.440><c> representing</c>

00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:39.919
that<00:13:37.659><c> is</c><00:13:37.840><c> used</c><00:13:38.000><c> by</c><00:13:38.220><c> Jesus</c><00:13:38.620><c> in</c><00:13:38.940><c> a</c><00:13:39.059><c> number</c><00:13:39.299><c> of</c><00:13:39.639><c> parables.</c>

00:13:40.379 --> 00:13:44.919
So<00:13:40.620><c> go</c><00:13:40.899><c> back</c><00:13:41.240><c> to</c><00:13:43.080><c> Matthew</c><00:13:43.639><c> 13,</c>

00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:49.139
and<00:13:45.740><c> let's</c><00:13:46.059><c> take</c><00:13:46.320><c> a</c><00:13:46.440><c> little</c><00:13:46.539><c> bit</c><00:13:46.759><c> deeper</c><00:13:47.000><c> look</c><00:13:47.259><c> at</c><00:13:48.379><c> why</c><00:13:48.740><c> parables,</c>

00:13:49.139 --> 00:13:52.600
because<00:13:49.500><c> the</c><00:13:49.779><c> disciples</c><00:13:50.200><c> asked</c><00:13:50.480><c> the</c><00:13:50.740><c> exact</c><00:13:51.080><c> same</c><00:13:51.340><c> question.</c>

00:13:54.259 --> 00:13:57.639
It's<00:13:54.720><c> Matthew</c><00:13:55.299><c> 13</c><00:13:55.860><c> and</c><00:13:56.139><c> 10.</c>

00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:03.940
Whichever<00:14:03.120><c> next?</c>

00:14:04.179 --> 00:14:04.460
You<00:14:04.240><c> hear</c><00:14:04.340><c> that?</c>

00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:05.139
Right,<00:14:04.799><c> right.</c>

00:14:05.539 --> 00:14:08.320
Just<00:14:05.860><c> 10,</c><00:14:08.320><c> right.</c>

00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:11.039
And<00:14:08.639><c> the</c><00:14:08.639><c> disciples</c><00:14:09.220><c> came</c><00:14:09.759><c> and</c><00:14:10.259><c> said</c><00:14:10.399><c> unto</c><00:14:10.639><c> him,</c>

00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:13.019
Why<00:14:11.419><c> speakest</c><00:14:11.860><c> thou</c><00:14:12.000><c> in</c><00:14:12.159><c> parables?</c>

00:14:13.220 --> 00:14:15.340
Okay,<00:14:14.279><c> and</c><00:14:14.519><c> how</c><00:14:14.840><c> did</c><00:14:14.960><c> he</c><00:14:15.080><c> answer?</c>

00:14:15.419 --> 00:14:16.440
Let's<00:14:15.600><c> try</c><00:14:15.799><c> verse</c><00:14:16.059><c> 11.</c>

00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:18.340
He<00:14:17.159><c> answered</c><00:14:17.519><c> and</c><00:14:17.740><c> said</c><00:14:17.860><c> unto</c><00:14:18.039><c> them,</c>

00:14:18.700 --> 00:14:20.519
Because<00:14:18.840><c> it</c><00:14:19.000><c> is</c><00:14:19.240><c> given</c><00:14:19.440><c> unto</c><00:14:19.840><c> you,</c>

00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:26.039
but<00:14:24.179><c> to</c><00:14:24.399><c> them</c><00:14:24.659><c> it</c><00:14:24.799><c> is</c><00:14:24.960><c> not</c><00:14:25.240><c> given.</c>

00:14:26.220 --> 00:14:29.220
Okay,<00:14:27.059><c> so</c><00:14:27.440><c> what</c><00:14:27.799><c> do</c><00:14:27.860><c> we</c><00:14:27.980><c> think</c><00:14:28.100><c> of</c><00:14:28.200><c> that</c><00:14:28.360><c> answer?</c>

00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:34.980
Why<00:14:33.399><c> did</c><00:14:33.500><c> he</c><00:14:33.679><c> speak</c><00:14:33.899><c> in</c><00:14:34.139><c> parables?</c>

00:14:40.379 --> 00:14:43.720
Maybe<00:14:40.840><c> it</c><00:14:41.039><c> was</c><00:14:41.379><c> sort</c><00:14:41.700><c> of</c><00:14:42.639><c> a</c><00:14:42.659><c> delayed</c><00:14:43.059><c> understanding.</c>

00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.840
He<00:14:44.460><c> knew</c><00:14:44.700><c> that</c><00:14:45.159><c> these</c><00:14:45.399><c> certain</c><00:14:45.600><c> men</c><00:14:45.799><c> would</c><00:14:45.980><c> get</c><00:14:46.179><c> it,</c>

00:14:46.940 --> 00:14:48.759

00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:53.799
then<00:14:51.659><c> everyone</c><00:14:51.980><c> else</c><00:14:52.240><c> wouldn't</c><00:14:52.419><c> understand.</c>

00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:58.620
Sort<00:14:56.019><c> of</c><00:14:56.159><c> for</c><00:14:56.399><c> the</c><00:14:56.580><c> purpose</c><00:14:56.820><c> of</c><00:14:57.039><c> God,</c><00:14:58.120><c> maybe.</c>

00:15:00.340 --> 00:15:03.039
Okay,<00:15:01.879><c> anybody</c><00:15:02.080><c> else</c><00:15:02.340><c> got</c><00:15:02.480><c> another</c><00:15:02.740><c> thought?</c>

00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:05.200
Now<00:15:03.700><c> remember,</c><00:15:04.080><c> there</c><00:15:04.179><c> may</c><00:15:04.399><c> not</c><00:15:04.559><c> be</c><00:15:04.720><c> one</c><00:15:04.940><c> answer.</c>

00:15:05.220 --> 00:15:06.480
There<00:15:05.340><c> may</c><00:15:05.519><c> be</c><00:15:05.639><c> more</c><00:15:05.820><c> than</c><00:15:05.980><c> one</c><00:15:06.179><c> answer.</c>

00:15:06.940 --> 00:15:07.480

Okay.

they<00:15:45.700><c> didn't</c><00:15:45.899><c> have</c><00:15:46.159><c> that,</c>

00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:49.620
so<00:15:47.000><c> Jesus</c><00:15:47.360><c> spoke</c><00:15:47.620><c> parables</c><00:15:48.019><c> so</c><00:15:48.279><c> that</c><00:15:48.399><c> they</c><00:15:48.500><c> could</c><00:15:48.700><c> learn</c>

00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:53.740
about<00:15:50.259><c> what</c><00:15:50.639><c> was</c><00:15:51.279><c> going</c><00:15:51.440><c> to</c><00:15:51.600><c> happen</c><00:15:52.080><c> to</c><00:15:52.580><c> Israel</c><00:15:53.080><c> and</c><00:15:53.580><c> stuff</c>

00:15:53.740 --> 00:15:55.240
like<00:15:53.980><c> that.</c>

00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:56.080
Okay.

00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:57.360
Same<00:15:56.299><c> as</c><00:15:56.460><c> he</c><00:15:56.600><c> said.</c>

00:15:59.779 --> 00:16:01.200
You<00:15:59.860><c> mean</c><00:16:00.000><c> you're</c><00:16:00.220><c> backing</c><00:16:00.399><c> them</c><00:16:00.600><c> up?</c>

00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:03.460
Oh,<00:16:02.139><c> come</c><00:16:02.460><c> on.</c>

00:16:03.580 --> 00:16:07.919
Well,<00:16:03.879><c> actually,</c><00:16:04.480><c> I</c><00:16:04.500><c> think</c><00:16:04.820><c> that</c><00:16:05.720><c> these</c><00:16:06.399><c> are</c><00:16:06.600><c> all</c><00:16:06.879><c> correct.</c>

00:16:09.379 --> 00:16:11.240
Parables<00:16:09.860><c> have</c><00:16:10.340><c> a</c><00:16:10.539><c> delayed</c><00:16:10.820><c> effect.</c>

00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:12.700
You've<00:16:11.679><c> got</c><00:16:11.679><c> to</c><00:16:11.860><c> think</c><00:16:12.100><c> about</c><00:16:12.379><c> it.</c>

00:16:13.059 --> 00:16:16.080
It's<00:16:13.279><c> not</c><00:16:13.480><c> something</c><00:16:13.779><c> that,</c><00:16:14.519><c> bingo,</c><00:16:15.419><c> you</c><00:16:15.659><c> would</c><00:16:15.860><c> get.</c>

00:16:16.299 --> 00:16:19.899
In<00:16:16.360><c> the</c><00:16:16.480><c> Old</c><00:16:16.679><c> Testament,</c><00:16:17.320><c> Isaiah</c><00:16:17.600><c> didn't</c><00:16:18.399><c> waste</c><00:16:18.980><c> any</c><00:16:19.179><c> words,</c><00:16:19.519><c> right?</c>

00:16:20.019 --> 00:16:21.919
He<00:16:20.139><c> said,</c><00:16:20.360><c> here's</c><00:16:20.539><c> the</c><00:16:20.759><c> parable,</c><00:16:21.100><c> and</c><00:16:21.200><c> here's</c><00:16:21.340><c> what</c><00:16:21.480><c> it</c><00:16:21.639><c> means.</c>

00:16:22.419 --> 00:16:24.200
There's<00:16:22.580><c> a</c><00:16:22.740><c> few</c><00:16:22.860><c> times</c><00:16:23.159><c> Jesus</c><00:16:23.500><c> does</c><00:16:23.799><c> that,</c>

00:16:24.320 --> 00:16:28.600
but<00:16:24.639><c> most</c><00:16:24.980><c> of</c><00:16:25.120><c> the</c><00:16:25.240><c> time,</c><00:16:26.059><c> it's</c><00:16:26.220><c> for</c><00:16:26.379><c> us,</c><00:16:27.299><c> as</c><00:16:27.580><c> you</c><00:16:27.779><c> said,</c>

00:16:28.779 --> 00:16:30.240
it's<00:16:29.100><c> in</c><00:16:29.259><c> the</c><00:16:29.320><c> next</c><00:16:29.559><c> verse,</c><00:16:29.879><c> isn't</c><00:16:29.980><c> it?</c>

00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.399
For<00:16:30.559><c> whosoever</c><00:16:31.059><c> hath,</c><00:16:31.600><c> verse</c><00:16:31.960><c> 12,</c><00:16:32.639><c> shall</c><00:16:32.779><c> be</c><00:16:32.980><c> given</c><00:16:33.179><c> him,</c>

00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:35.200
and<00:16:33.580><c> he</c><00:16:33.840><c> shall</c><00:16:33.960><c> have</c><00:16:34.220><c> more</c><00:16:34.679><c> abundance,</c>

00:16:35.200 --> 00:16:39.039
and<00:16:35.679><c> whosoever</c><00:16:36.139><c> hath</c><00:16:36.399><c> not</c><00:16:36.960><c> from</c><00:16:37.980><c> him</c><00:16:38.220><c> shall</c><00:16:38.399><c> be</c><00:16:38.600><c> taken</c><00:16:38.799><c> away</c>

00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:40.320
even<00:16:39.299><c> that</c><00:16:39.620><c> which</c><00:16:39.840><c> he</c><00:16:40.100><c> hath.</c>

00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:43.700
Therefore<00:16:40.799><c> I</c><00:16:41.259><c> spake</c><00:16:42.360><c> I</c><00:16:42.500><c> unto</c><00:16:42.679><c> them</c><00:16:42.899><c> in</c><00:16:43.240><c> parables,</c>

00:16:43.980 --> 00:16:47.100
because<00:16:44.200><c> seeing</c><00:16:44.500><c> they</c><00:16:44.799><c> see</c><00:16:45.059><c> not,</c><00:16:45.860><c> and</c><00:16:46.080><c> hearing</c><00:16:46.340><c> they</c><00:16:46.559><c> hear</c><00:16:46.799><c> not,</c>

00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:48.279
neither<00:16:47.360><c> do</c><00:16:47.539><c> they</c><00:16:47.740><c> understand.</c>

00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:51.179
And<00:16:48.399><c> that's</c><00:16:48.740><c> what's</c><00:16:49.539><c> said</c><00:16:49.779><c> over</c><00:16:50.039><c> there.</c>

00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:54.259
It's<00:16:52.159><c> something</c><00:16:52.460><c> that</c><00:16:52.940><c> we</c><00:16:53.100><c> have</c><00:16:53.259><c> to</c><00:16:53.419><c> do</c><00:16:53.460><c> a</c><00:16:53.480><c> little</c><00:16:53.659><c> work</c><00:16:53.899><c> about.</c>

00:16:54.700 --> 00:16:56.159
We<00:16:54.820><c> have</c><00:16:55.019><c> to</c><00:16:55.360><c> pay</c><00:16:55.580><c> attention.</c>

00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:59.159
It<00:16:56.720><c> has</c><00:16:56.879><c> to</c><00:16:57.019><c> come</c><00:16:57.240><c> about</c><00:16:57.600><c> with</c><00:16:58.000><c> understanding.</c>

00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:02.779
And<00:16:59.580><c> it's</c><00:17:00.019><c> a</c><00:17:00.120><c> little</c><00:17:00.279><c> bit</c><00:17:00.759><c> like</c><00:17:01.740><c> someone</c><00:17:02.179><c> coming</c><00:17:02.460><c> and</c><00:17:02.679><c> saying,</c>

00:17:02.779 --> 00:17:04.700
well,<00:17:02.980><c> I</c><00:17:03.039><c> don't</c><00:17:03.240><c> understand</c><00:17:03.759><c> any</c><00:17:04.140><c> of</c><00:17:04.299><c> these,</c>

00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:06.839
what<00:17:05.380><c> the</c><00:17:05.740><c> equations</c><00:17:06.079><c> are</c><00:17:06.259><c> in</c><00:17:06.380><c> this</c><00:17:06.579><c> book,</c>

00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:09.619
and<00:17:07.319><c> trying</c><00:17:07.480><c> to</c><00:17:07.599><c> pick</c><00:17:07.759><c> up</c><00:17:07.880><c> a</c><00:17:08.079><c> textbook</c><00:17:08.380><c> and</c><00:17:08.559><c> look</c><00:17:08.740><c> at</c><00:17:08.859><c> chapter</c><00:17:09.140><c> 22</c>

00:17:09.619 --> 00:17:11.539
and<00:17:09.799><c> never</c><00:17:10.039><c> read</c><00:17:10.259><c> the</c><00:17:10.359><c> rest</c><00:17:10.539><c> of</c><00:17:10.700><c> the</c><00:17:10.799><c> book.</c>

00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:13.619
They're<00:17:12.220><c> not</c><00:17:12.380><c> going</c><00:17:12.480><c> to</c><00:17:12.519><c> be</c><00:17:12.559><c> able</c><00:17:12.740><c> to</c><00:17:12.880><c> understand</c><00:17:13.079><c> how</c><00:17:13.240><c> to</c><00:17:13.380><c> do</c><00:17:13.480><c> it.</c>

00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:15.859
I<00:17:13.740><c> mean,</c><00:17:13.980><c> in</c><00:17:14.859><c> order</c><00:17:15.059><c> to</c><00:17:15.220><c> understand</c><00:17:15.460><c> the</c><00:17:15.619><c> Bible,</c>

00:17:15.900 --> 00:17:18.319
you<00:17:15.980><c> have</c><00:17:16.160><c> to</c><00:17:16.319><c> understand</c><00:17:16.599><c> how</c><00:17:16.839><c> the</c><00:17:17.019><c> Bible</c><00:17:17.319><c> speaks.</c>

00:17:18.619 --> 00:17:21.660
So<00:17:19.019><c> I</c><00:17:19.319><c> think</c><00:17:19.519><c> all</c><00:17:19.759><c> of</c><00:17:19.900><c> these</c><00:17:20.099><c> answers</c><00:17:20.460><c> are</c><00:17:20.779><c> correct.</c>

00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:24.819
If<00:17:21.920><c> we're</c><00:17:22.160><c> going</c><00:17:22.259><c> to</c><00:17:22.500><c> understand</c><00:17:22.700><c> the</c><00:17:22.980><c> parables</c><00:17:23.339><c> or</c><00:17:24.299><c> revelation</c>

00:17:24.819 --> 00:17:26.019
or<00:17:24.980><c> anything</c><00:17:25.200><c> else</c><00:17:25.420><c> in</c><00:17:25.559><c> the</c><00:17:25.740><c> Scripture</c>

00:17:26.019 --> 00:17:29.480
that<00:17:26.420><c> is</c><00:17:27.259><c> beyond</c><00:17:27.640><c> the</c><00:17:27.920><c> first</c><00:17:28.099><c> complexity</c><00:17:28.660><c> level,</c>

00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:30.960
we<00:17:30.039><c> have</c><00:17:30.200><c> to</c><00:17:30.279><c> study</c><00:17:30.519><c> the</c><00:17:30.740><c> Bible.</c>

00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:32.700
God<00:17:31.279><c> wants</c><00:17:31.519><c> us</c><00:17:31.720><c> to</c><00:17:31.779><c> come</c><00:17:31.980><c> to</c><00:17:32.039><c> His</c><00:17:32.319><c> Word.</c>

00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:36.380
If<00:17:33.140><c> the</c><00:17:33.400><c> Word</c><00:17:33.539><c> was</c><00:17:33.720><c> so</c><00:17:34.059><c> trivial</c><00:17:34.420><c> that</c><00:17:34.599><c> it</c><00:17:34.740><c> didn't</c><00:17:34.880><c> involve</c><00:17:35.180><c> any</c><00:17:35.519><c> thinking,</c>

00:17:37.019 --> 00:17:39.059
then<00:17:37.420><c> no</c><00:17:37.819><c> one</c><00:17:38.000><c> would</c><00:17:38.180><c> do</c><00:17:38.380><c> it.</c>

00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:41.559
It<00:17:39.960><c> wouldn't</c><00:17:40.119><c> even</c><00:17:40.359><c> be</c><00:17:40.559><c> challenging.</c>

00:17:41.900 --> 00:17:43.319
And<00:17:42.059><c> God</c><00:17:42.200><c> did</c><00:17:42.400><c> that,</c><00:17:42.859><c> too,</c><00:17:42.940><c> didn't</c><00:17:43.180><c> He?</c>

00:17:43.339 --> 00:17:45.240
He<00:17:43.480><c> did</c><00:17:43.640><c> it</c><00:17:43.720><c> with</c><00:17:43.859><c> the</c><00:17:44.000><c> Ten</c><00:17:44.160><c> Commandments.</c>

00:17:45.420 --> 00:17:48.539
There<00:17:45.559><c> was</c><00:17:45.720><c> no</c><00:17:45.940><c> ifs,</c><00:17:46.380><c> ands,</c><00:17:46.440><c> or</c><00:17:46.599><c> buts</c><00:17:46.779><c> about</c><00:17:47.059><c> the</c><00:17:47.240><c> Ten</c><00:17:47.400><c> Commandments.</c>

00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:49.819
That's<00:17:49.019><c> how</c><00:17:49.099><c> He</c><00:17:49.279><c> started</c><00:17:49.539><c> out.</c>

00:17:49.819 --> 00:17:50.960
He<00:17:49.900><c> didn't</c><00:17:50.140><c> tell</c><00:17:50.400><c> any</c><00:17:50.720><c> parables.</c>

00:17:51.140 --> 00:17:52.759
He<00:17:51.160><c> said,</c><00:17:51.420><c> here's</c><00:17:51.599><c> what</c><00:17:51.799><c> I</c><00:17:51.960><c> want</c><00:17:52.140><c> you</c><00:17:52.279><c> to</c><00:17:52.440><c> do.</c>

00:17:53.259 --> 00:17:54.640
And<00:17:53.619><c> it</c><00:17:53.660><c> was</c><00:17:53.859><c> very</c><00:17:54.240><c> straightforward.</c>

00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:57.140
Thou<00:17:54.960><c> shalt</c><00:17:55.220><c> not</c><00:17:55.440><c> do</c><00:17:55.640><c> this,</c><00:17:55.839><c> thou</c><00:17:56.039><c> shalt</c><00:17:56.259><c> not</c><00:17:56.400><c> do</c><00:17:56.519><c> that.</c>

00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:59.079
There<00:17:57.599><c> was</c><00:17:57.759><c> no</c><00:17:58.000><c> ambiguity.</c>

00:17:59.140 --> 00:18:01.400
I<00:17:59.619><c> mean,</c><00:18:00.400><c> you</c><00:18:00.519><c> read</c><00:18:00.680><c> the</c><00:18:00.859><c> Ten</c><00:18:01.000><c> Commandments.</c>

00:18:01.740 --> 00:18:04.000
Everyone<00:18:01.980><c> in</c><00:18:02.180><c> the</c><00:18:02.339><c> world</c><00:18:02.680><c> understands</c><00:18:03.140><c> what</c><00:18:03.299><c> the</c><00:18:03.440><c> Ten</c><00:18:03.559><c> Commandments</c><00:18:03.920><c> are.</c>

00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.339
They<00:18:04.119><c> have</c><00:18:04.299><c> to</c><00:18:04.420><c> be</c><00:18:04.559><c> totally,</c><00:18:05.539><c> totally</c><00:18:06.000><c> without</c><00:18:06.759><c> any</c><00:18:07.099><c> moral</c>

00:18:07.339 --> 00:18:08.140
fiber<00:18:07.660><c> whatsoever</c>

00:18:08.140 --> 00:18:09.099
not<00:18:08.359><c> to</c><00:18:08.579><c> understand</c><00:18:08.859><c> it.</c>

00:18:09.339 --> 00:18:11.779
Does<00:18:09.480><c> that</c><00:18:09.680><c> mean</c><00:18:09.839><c> everybody</c><00:18:10.220><c> does</c><00:18:10.519><c> it?</c>

00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:14.680
I<00:18:12.740><c> mean,</c><00:18:13.859><c> look</c><00:18:14.000><c> at</c><00:18:14.140><c> the</c><00:18:14.299><c> world,</c><00:18:14.579><c> right?</c>

00:18:14.700 --> 00:18:16.160
I<00:18:14.700><c> mean,</c><00:18:14.920><c> it's</c><00:18:15.200><c> pretty</c><00:18:15.440><c> obvious</c><00:18:15.740><c> they</c><00:18:15.920><c> don't.</c>

00:18:16.420 --> 00:18:19.740
So<00:18:16.880><c> straightforward,</c><00:18:18.039><c> putting</c><00:18:18.200><c> on</c><00:18:18.400><c> a</c><00:18:18.539><c> piece</c><00:18:18.720><c> of</c><00:18:18.960><c> stone</c><00:18:19.220><c> something</c>

00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:23.259
didn't<00:18:20.339><c> guarantee</c><00:18:21.420><c> correct</c><00:18:22.319><c> spiritual</c><00:18:22.779><c> behavior.</c>

00:18:23.700 --> 00:18:25.960
And<00:18:23.900><c> so</c><00:18:24.039><c> God</c><00:18:24.779><c> built</c><00:18:25.259><c> up</c><00:18:25.559><c> here</c><00:18:25.720><c> and</c><00:18:25.819><c> said,</c>

00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:27.779
hey,<00:18:26.619><c> I</c><00:18:26.799><c> want</c><00:18:26.960><c> you</c><00:18:27.099><c> to</c><00:18:27.240><c> pay</c><00:18:27.380><c> attention.</c>

00:18:27.779 --> 00:18:30.900
I'm<00:18:27.960><c> going</c><00:18:28.099><c> to</c><00:18:28.240><c> make</c><00:18:28.400><c> it</c><00:18:29.079><c> so</c><00:18:29.279><c> that</c><00:18:29.680><c> what</c><00:18:29.920><c> I</c><00:18:30.140><c> want</c><00:18:30.359><c> you</c><00:18:30.539><c> to</c><00:18:30.680><c> do</c>

00:18:30.900 --> 00:18:34.279
becomes<00:18:31.279><c> something</c><00:18:31.680><c> that</c><00:18:31.880><c> you</c><00:18:32.359><c> have</c><00:18:32.519><c> to</c><00:18:32.859><c> want</c><00:18:33.079><c> to</c><00:18:33.299><c> do.</c>

00:18:35.660 --> 00:18:37.319
David<00:18:35.859><c> predicted</c><00:18:36.339><c> in</c><00:18:36.519><c> the</c><00:18:36.640><c> Old</c><00:18:36.839><c> Testament</c>

00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:40.339
that<00:18:37.700><c> the</c><00:18:37.940><c> Messiah</c><00:18:38.259><c> would</c><00:18:38.500><c> come</c><00:18:38.920><c> and</c><00:18:39.440><c> speak</c><00:18:39.740><c> in</c><00:18:39.980><c> parables.</c>

00:18:40.420 --> 00:18:42.539
It's<00:18:40.720><c> in</c><00:18:41.039><c> Psalm</c><00:18:41.220><c> 78.</c>

00:18:42.700 --> 00:18:46.279
It's<00:18:43.079><c> a</c><00:18:43.299><c> psalm</c><00:18:43.700><c> about</c><00:18:44.920><c> this.</c>

00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:48.099
And<00:18:46.660><c> it's</c><00:18:47.200><c> worth</c><00:18:47.380><c> a</c><00:18:47.619><c> quick</c><00:18:47.819><c> look.</c>

00:18:48.420 --> 00:18:50.700
So<00:18:48.619><c> the</c><00:18:48.779><c> Jews</c><00:18:49.180><c> knew</c><00:18:50.319><c> this.</c>

00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:53.500
It<00:18:50.859><c> was</c><00:18:51.079><c> one</c><00:18:51.279><c> of</c><00:18:51.420><c> the</c><00:18:51.799><c> signs</c><00:18:52.180><c> of</c><00:18:52.380><c> the</c><00:18:52.559><c> Messiah.</c>

00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:56.359
I've<00:18:55.019><c> got</c><00:18:55.039><c> to</c><00:18:55.200><c> find</c><00:18:55.299><c> it</c><00:18:55.420><c> myself.</c>

00:18:57.839 --> 00:18:59.460
Oh,<00:18:58.400><c> OK.</c>

00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:01.359
I<00:19:00.160><c> have</c><00:19:00.420><c> to...</c>

00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:02.859
OK.

00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:04.359
Psalm<00:19:03.019><c> 78.</c>

00:19:13.500 --> 00:19:15.220
A<00:19:13.500><c> verse,</c><00:19:14.019><c> who's</c><00:19:14.460><c> next?</c>

00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:17.299
One,<00:19:15.799><c> two,</c><00:19:16.000><c> and</c><00:19:16.200><c> three.</c>

00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:21.039
Give<00:19:19.480><c> your</c><00:19:19.700><c> room,</c><00:19:19.859><c> my</c><00:19:20.039><c> people,</c><00:19:20.400><c> to</c><00:19:20.559><c> my</c><00:19:20.759><c> law.</c>

00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:23.140
Incline<00:19:21.599><c> your</c><00:19:21.819><c> ears</c><00:19:22.019><c> to</c><00:19:22.220><c> the</c><00:19:22.339><c> words</c><00:19:22.500><c> of</c><00:19:22.660><c> my</c><00:19:22.859><c> mouth.</c>

00:19:23.140 --> 00:19:25.859
I<00:19:23.880><c> will</c><00:19:24.079><c> open</c><00:19:24.240><c> my</c><00:19:24.480><c> mouth</c><00:19:24.700><c> in</c><00:19:24.839><c> a</c><00:19:25.019><c> parable.</c>

00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:28.200
I<00:19:26.000><c> will</c><00:19:26.220><c> utter</c><00:19:26.380><c> dark</c><00:19:26.740><c> sayings</c><00:19:27.119><c> of</c><00:19:27.299><c> old,</c>

00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:30.680
which<00:19:28.880><c> we</c><00:19:29.059><c> have</c><00:19:29.240><c> heard</c><00:19:29.380><c> and</c><00:19:29.640><c> known,</c><00:19:29.859><c> and</c><00:19:30.019><c> our</c><00:19:30.220><c> fathers</c><00:19:30.420><c> have</c>

00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:31.940
told<00:19:30.819><c> us.</c>

00:19:32.220 --> 00:19:32.900
OK.

00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:36.079
So<00:19:33.180><c> this</c><00:19:33.579><c> was,</c><00:19:33.880><c> in</c><00:19:34.180><c> effect,</c><00:19:34.759><c> a</c><00:19:34.839><c> prophecy</c>

00:19:39.819 --> 00:19:41.579
about<00:19:40.220><c> what</c><00:19:40.619><c> would</c><00:19:40.839><c> come</c><00:19:40.980><c> with</c><00:19:41.200><c> the</c><00:19:41.279><c> Messiah.</c>

00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:43.960
He<00:19:41.720><c> was</c><00:19:41.880><c> going</c><00:19:42.019><c> to</c><00:19:42.259><c> speak</c><00:19:42.380><c> to</c><00:19:42.539><c> them</c><00:19:42.740><c> in</c><00:19:43.019><c> parables.</c>

00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:47.799
Now,<00:19:45.599><c> I</c><00:19:46.000><c> tried</c><00:19:46.500><c> to</c><00:19:46.859><c> calculate</c><00:19:47.319><c> one</c><00:19:47.619><c> time,</c>

00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:49.400
and<00:19:47.940><c> this</c><00:19:48.059><c> is</c><00:19:48.079><c> one</c><00:19:48.180><c> of</c><00:19:48.240><c> these</c><00:19:48.420><c> nasty</c><00:19:48.720><c> things</c><00:19:48.920><c> you</c><00:19:49.039><c> can</c><00:19:49.180><c> do</c><00:19:49.240><c> with</c>

00:19:49.400 --> 00:19:49.839
a<00:19:49.500><c> computer.</c>

00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:51.319
You<00:19:49.960><c> can</c><00:19:50.160><c> say</c><00:19:50.299><c> how</c><00:19:50.440><c> many</c><00:19:50.680><c> words</c><00:19:50.960><c> are</c><00:19:51.180><c> here</c>

00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:53.940
and<00:19:51.500><c> how</c><00:19:51.559><c> many</c><00:19:52.839><c> do</c><00:19:53.339><c> they</c><00:19:53.599><c> compare.</c>

00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:56.839
And<00:19:54.059><c> I</c><00:19:54.119><c> went</c><00:19:54.279><c> through</c><00:19:54.880><c> the</c><00:19:55.220><c> book</c><00:19:55.400><c> of</c><00:19:55.759><c> Matthew,</c>

00:19:57.160 --> 00:20:00.059
and<00:19:57.259><c> roughly,</c><00:19:57.900><c> depending</c><00:19:58.240><c> on</c><00:19:59.400><c> some</c><00:19:59.779><c> things,</c>

00:20:00.099 --> 00:20:01.660
whether<00:20:00.220><c> you</c><00:20:00.500><c> count</c><00:20:00.640><c> them</c><00:20:00.799><c> a</c><00:20:01.039><c> parable</c><00:20:01.279><c> or</c><00:20:01.500><c> not,</c>

00:20:01.740 --> 00:20:04.200
like<00:20:02.039><c> the</c><00:20:02.740><c> camel</c><00:20:02.980><c> going</c><00:20:03.160><c> through</c><00:20:03.420><c> the</c><00:20:03.579><c> eye</c><00:20:03.740><c> of</c><00:20:03.880><c> a</c><00:20:04.000><c> needle.</c>

00:20:04.420 --> 00:20:06.859
I<00:20:04.500><c> don't</c><00:20:04.660><c> know</c><00:20:04.759><c> whether</c><00:20:04.900><c> that's</c><00:20:05.240><c> a</c><00:20:05.380><c> parable</c><00:20:05.700><c> or</c><00:20:05.859><c> just</c><00:20:06.119><c> a</c><00:20:06.279><c> short</c><00:20:06.500><c> saying.</c>

00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.000
But<00:20:07.720><c> something</c><00:20:08.119><c> like</c><00:20:08.420><c> 40</c><00:20:08.799><c>%</c><00:20:09.160><c> of</c><00:20:09.279><c> the</c><00:20:09.460><c> Gospel</c><00:20:09.819><c> is</c><00:20:10.079><c> parables.</c>

00:20:11.339 --> 00:20:14.799
That's<00:20:11.779><c> a</c><00:20:12.079><c> lot</c><00:20:12.339><c> of</c><00:20:12.599><c> teaching</c><00:20:12.980><c> in</c><00:20:13.960><c> the</c><00:20:14.140><c> form</c><00:20:14.279><c> of</c><00:20:14.599><c> parables.</c>

00:20:14.980 --> 00:20:16.000
A<00:20:15.240><c> lot,</c><00:20:15.420><c> a</c><00:20:15.480><c> lot</c><00:20:15.599><c> of</c><00:20:15.779><c> teaching.</c>

00:20:16.180 --> 00:20:17.660
You<00:20:16.519><c> don't</c><00:20:16.680><c> want</c><00:20:16.859><c> to</c><00:20:17.000><c> throw</c><00:20:17.099><c> that</c><00:20:17.359><c> away.</c>

00:20:17.660 --> 00:20:22.359
And<00:20:18.420><c> the</c><00:20:18.680><c> Bible</c><00:20:19.019><c> says</c><00:20:19.420><c> that</c><00:20:19.660><c> all</c><00:20:19.920><c> Scripture</c><00:20:20.339><c> is</c><00:20:20.819><c> fit</c><00:20:21.099><c> for</c><00:20:21.579><c> our</c><00:20:21.819><c> understanding.</c>

00:20:22.660 --> 00:20:27.160
It's<00:20:23.240><c> a</c><00:20:23.660><c> very</c><00:20:23.900><c> important</c><00:20:24.519><c> verse,</c><00:20:25.339><c> 2</c><00:20:25.480><c> Timothy</c><00:20:25.960><c> 3.</c>

00:20:36.099 --> 00:20:38.539
I<00:20:36.240><c> think</c><00:20:36.440><c> we</c><00:20:36.599><c> should</c><00:20:36.779><c> all</c><00:20:36.980><c> know</c><00:20:37.240><c> this.</c>

00:20:42.059 --> 00:20:44.619
This<00:20:42.359><c> is</c><00:20:42.500><c> what</c><00:20:43.039><c> Paul</c><00:20:43.740><c> said</c><00:20:44.000><c> to</c><00:20:44.240><c> Timothy.</c>

00:20:44.619 --> 00:20:51.500
Why<00:20:45.740><c> don't</c><00:20:45.880><c> we</c><00:20:45.980><c> read</c><00:20:46.440><c> verses</c><00:20:47.140><c> 15,</c><00:20:47.740><c> 16,</c><00:20:48.420><c> and</c><00:20:48.500><c> 17,</c><00:20:49.319><c> 2</c><00:20:49.579><c> Timothy</c><00:20:50.059><c> 3.</c>

00:21:17.579 --> 00:21:20.079
What<00:21:18.059><c> version</c><00:21:18.539><c> do</c><00:21:18.779><c> you</c><00:21:18.779><c> have?</c>

00:21:20.980 --> 00:21:22.319
Yeah,<00:21:21.099><c> I</c><00:21:21.279><c> like</c><00:21:21.519><c> that.</c>

00:21:22.460 --> 00:21:24.680
The<00:21:22.559><c> New</c><00:21:22.740><c> King</c><00:21:22.940><c> James</c><00:21:23.220><c> says</c><00:21:23.640><c> complete.</c>

00:21:24.900 --> 00:21:26.880
The<00:21:25.380><c> King</c><00:21:25.700><c> James</c><00:21:26.000><c> says</c><00:21:26.380><c> perfect.</c>

00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:27.940
I<00:21:27.079><c> think</c><00:21:27.279><c> that's</c><00:21:27.579><c> better,</c>

00:21:28.279 --> 00:21:30.680
because<00:21:28.599><c> the</c><00:21:29.140><c> meaning</c><00:21:29.420><c> of</c><00:21:29.599><c> the</c><00:21:29.700><c> Greek</c><00:21:29.859><c> word</c><00:21:30.099><c> there</c><00:21:30.279><c> does</c><00:21:30.519><c> not</c>

00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:31.220
mean<00:21:30.819><c> perfect.</c>

00:21:31.299 --> 00:21:33.839
I<00:21:31.480><c> doubt</c><00:21:31.700><c> that</c><00:21:31.900><c> any</c><00:21:32.059><c> of</c><00:21:32.160><c> us</c><00:21:32.259><c> can</c><00:21:32.440><c> ever</c><00:21:32.599><c> be</c><00:21:32.839><c> perfect.</c>

00:21:34.259 --> 00:21:35.460
The<00:21:34.460><c> sense</c><00:21:34.700><c> of</c><00:21:35.140><c> completeness.</c>

00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:38.660
The<00:21:35.660><c> Bible</c><00:21:35.960><c> makes</c><00:21:36.420><c> us</c><00:21:37.160><c> complete</c><00:21:37.599><c> people</c><00:21:38.119><c> in</c><00:21:38.380><c> God.</c>

00:21:39.059 --> 00:21:41.039
I<00:21:39.180><c> think</c><00:21:39.299><c> that's</c><00:21:39.599><c> a</c><00:21:39.720><c> better</c><00:21:40.400><c> way</c><00:21:40.660><c> of</c><00:21:40.880><c> rendering.</c>

00:21:41.099 --> 00:21:42.240
Does<00:21:41.299><c> anybody</c><00:21:41.559><c> have</c><00:21:41.740><c> an</c><00:21:41.960><c> NIV?</c>

00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:46.680
No<00:21:42.240><c> one</c><00:21:42.240><c> has</c><00:21:45.539><c> an</c><00:21:45.779><c> NIV?</c>

00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:47.900
What<00:21:47.559><c> is</c><00:21:47.759><c> it?</c>

00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:49.660
Can<00:21:48.339><c> you</c><00:21:48.519><c> read</c><00:21:48.680><c> that</c><00:21:48.859><c> verse?</c>

00:21:49.720 --> 00:21:50.700
17?

00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:55.140
Yeah,<00:21:54.359><c> don't.</c>

00:21:55.539 --> 00:21:58.000
2<00:21:56.000><c> Timothy</c><00:21:56.240><c> 3,</c><00:21:56.720><c> 17.</c>

00:22:03.900 --> 00:22:06.000
Okay,<00:22:04.579><c> that's</c><00:22:04.859><c> good</c><00:22:05.039><c> too.</c>

00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:09.059
Completely<00:22:06.859><c> able</c><00:22:07.279><c> or</c><00:22:07.559><c> complete</c><00:22:07.759><c> in</c><00:22:08.440><c> the</c><00:22:08.599><c> word</c><00:22:08.759><c> of</c><00:22:08.900><c> God.</c>

00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:10.200
That's<00:22:09.839><c> the</c><00:22:09.900><c> idea.</c>

00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:13.059
That<00:22:11.039><c> means</c><00:22:11.460><c> the</c><00:22:11.759><c> parables</c><00:22:11.960><c> are</c><00:22:12.119><c> just</c><00:22:12.359><c> as</c><00:22:12.539><c> important</c><00:22:12.880><c> as</c>

00:22:13.059 --> 00:22:13.660
everything<00:22:13.359><c> else,</c>

00:22:13.740 --> 00:22:15.519
because<00:22:13.819><c> he</c><00:22:13.960><c> says</c><00:22:14.180><c> all</c><00:22:14.539><c> scripture.</c>

00:22:16.599 --> 00:22:18.680
I<00:22:16.740><c> think</c><00:22:16.980><c> sometimes</c><00:22:17.359><c> we've</c><00:22:17.779><c> kind</c><00:22:17.920><c> of</c><00:22:18.079><c> forgotten</c><00:22:18.339><c> that.</c>

00:22:19.019 --> 00:22:21.519
There's<00:22:19.180><c> not</c><00:22:19.400><c> been</c><00:22:19.539><c> a</c><00:22:19.599><c> lot</c><00:22:19.839><c> of</c><00:22:20.039><c> thinking</c><00:22:20.299><c> about</c><00:22:20.680><c> this.</c>

00:22:22.380 --> 00:22:24.559
Christadelphians<00:22:22.920><c> have</c><00:22:23.160><c> liked</c><00:22:23.279><c> things</c><00:22:23.519><c> really</c><00:22:23.980><c> clean</c><00:22:24.299><c>-cut.</c>

00:22:24.859 --> 00:22:26.720
Everything's<00:22:25.240><c> got</c><00:22:25.299><c> to</c><00:22:25.440><c> be</c><00:22:25.559><c> crystal</c><00:22:25.859><c> clear.</c>

00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:29.619
If<00:22:27.039><c> there's</c><00:22:27.279><c> any</c><00:22:27.559><c> ambiguity,</c><00:22:28.140><c> they</c><00:22:28.279><c> get</c><00:22:28.440><c> very</c><00:22:28.799><c> nervous</c><00:22:29.160><c> about</c><00:22:29.460><c> it,</c>

00:22:29.619 --> 00:22:32.000
because<00:22:29.859><c> so</c><00:22:30.059><c> many</c><00:22:30.259><c> religions</c><00:22:30.680><c> have</c><00:22:30.980><c> made</c><00:22:31.200><c> so</c><00:22:31.359><c> much</c><00:22:31.559><c> baloney</c>

00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:32.880
out<00:22:32.200><c> of</c>

00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:35.339
rather<00:22:33.440><c> minor</c><00:22:33.740><c> points</c><00:22:34.200><c> and</c><00:22:34.519><c> blown</c><00:22:34.700><c> them</c><00:22:34.900><c> up.</c>

00:22:35.619 --> 00:22:36.960
It's<00:22:36.119><c> really</c><00:22:36.440><c> interesting.</c>

00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:39.839
In<00:22:37.799><c> Ann</c><00:22:38.200><c> Arbor,</c><00:22:38.460><c> we</c><00:22:38.480><c> have</c><00:22:38.660><c> a</c><00:22:38.720><c> Bible</c><00:22:39.059><c> seminar</c><00:22:39.440><c> class</c>

00:22:39.839 --> 00:22:41.400
with<00:22:40.039><c> people</c><00:22:40.319><c> who've</c><00:22:40.579><c> been</c><00:22:40.720><c> following</c><00:22:40.960><c> up</c><00:22:41.180><c> now</c>

00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:43.839
over<00:22:41.680><c> two</c><00:22:41.940><c> years</c><00:22:42.259><c> from</c><00:22:42.440><c> the</c><00:22:42.640><c> Bible</c><00:22:42.880><c> seminars.</c>

00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:47.140
It's<00:22:44.599><c> really</c><00:22:44.900><c> interesting</c><00:22:45.599><c> to</c><00:22:46.140><c> see</c><00:22:46.359><c> someone</c><00:22:46.640><c> that...</c>

00:22:47.140 --> 00:22:50.099
Have<00:22:47.759><c> all</c><00:22:48.160><c> of</c><00:22:48.240><c> you</c><00:22:48.319><c> been</c><00:22:48.519><c> brought</c><00:22:48.740><c> up</c><00:22:48.900><c> in</c><00:22:49.119><c> Sunday</c><00:22:49.299><c> school?</c>

00:22:51.619 --> 00:22:53.299
Okay,<00:22:51.980><c> you're</c><00:22:52.180><c> very</c><00:22:52.440><c> lucky.</c>

00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:57.140
We<00:22:53.660><c> have</c><00:22:54.019><c> a</c><00:22:55.279><c> young</c><00:22:55.339><c> lady</c><00:22:55.779><c> in</c><00:22:55.940><c> our</c><00:22:56.079><c> class,</c><00:22:56.259><c> 50</c><00:22:56.519><c> years</c><00:22:56.900><c> old,</c>

00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:02.339
never<00:22:58.039><c> saw</c><00:22:58.619><c> a</c><00:22:58.900><c> Bible</c><00:22:59.319><c> until</c><00:23:00.380><c> she</c><00:23:00.579><c> came</c><00:23:00.799><c> to</c><00:23:00.920><c> the</c><00:23:01.079><c> Bible</c><00:23:01.380><c> seminar.</c>

00:23:02.500 --> 00:23:04.099
Never<00:23:02.980><c> saw</c><00:23:03.579><c> a</c><00:23:03.720><c> Bible.</c>

00:23:04.099 --> 00:23:06.640
And<00:23:04.579><c> so</c><00:23:04.759><c> when</c><00:23:04.900><c> you</c><00:23:05.059><c> start</c><00:23:05.240><c> talking</c><00:23:05.599><c> about</c><00:23:05.920><c> a</c><00:23:06.259><c> parable,</c>

00:23:06.779 --> 00:23:08.440
they<00:23:06.920><c> don't</c><00:23:07.119><c> even</c><00:23:07.339><c> know</c><00:23:07.420><c> what</c><00:23:07.559><c> the</c><00:23:07.819><c> word</c><00:23:08.000><c> means.</c>

00:23:08.940 --> 00:23:10.200
And<00:23:09.059><c> now</c><00:23:09.240><c> it's</c><00:23:09.359><c> two</c><00:23:09.579><c> years</c><00:23:09.839><c> later,</c>

00:23:10.299 --> 00:23:12.240
and<00:23:10.460><c> she's</c><00:23:10.920><c> started</c><00:23:11.180><c> doing</c><00:23:11.380><c> her</c><00:23:11.640><c> daily</c><00:23:11.920><c> readings</c>

00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:13.680
and<00:23:12.500><c> started</c><00:23:12.720><c> studying.</c>

00:23:15.140 --> 00:23:17.859
And<00:23:15.160><c> she</c><00:23:15.380><c> came</c><00:23:15.660><c> and</c><00:23:15.799><c> told</c><00:23:15.920><c> us</c><00:23:16.119><c> last</c><00:23:16.400><c> Tuesday,</c><00:23:16.859><c> she</c><00:23:17.079><c> said,</c>

00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:21.799
she<00:23:18.119><c> did</c><00:23:19.039><c> not</c><00:23:19.220><c> know</c><00:23:19.319><c> how</c><00:23:19.460><c> she</c><00:23:19.819><c> lived</c><00:23:20.200><c> to</c><00:23:20.539><c> be</c><00:23:20.759><c> 50</c>

00:23:22.500 --> 00:23:24.200
without<00:23:22.960><c> this</c><00:23:23.420><c> spiritual</c><00:23:23.880><c> strength.</c>

00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:28.059
It<00:23:24.299><c> has</c><00:23:24.460><c> given</c><00:23:24.619><c> her</c><00:23:24.839><c> so</c><00:23:25.079><c> much</c><00:23:25.299><c> strength</c><00:23:25.660><c> and</c><00:23:25.839><c> so</c><00:23:26.059><c> much</c><00:23:26.940><c> hope,</c>

00:23:28.079 --> 00:23:31.160
because<00:23:28.539><c> prior</c><00:23:28.940><c> to</c><00:23:29.140><c> that,</c><00:23:29.660><c> she</c><00:23:30.319><c> said,</c>

00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:33.140
I<00:23:31.440><c> thought</c><00:23:31.619><c> there</c><00:23:31.740><c> was</c><00:23:31.900><c> nothing</c><00:23:32.119><c> in</c><00:23:32.279><c> the</c><00:23:32.440><c> world.</c>

00:23:33.180 --> 00:23:35.220
It's<00:23:33.579><c> just</c><00:23:33.660><c> going</c><00:23:33.819><c> to</c><00:23:33.880><c> be</c><00:23:34.039><c> born,</c><00:23:34.319><c> die,</c><00:23:34.740><c> and</c><00:23:34.740><c> that's</c><00:23:35.059><c> it.</c>

00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:36.119
You<00:23:35.240><c> know,</c><00:23:35.500><c> poof.</c>

00:23:36.420 --> 00:23:38.519
And<00:23:36.559><c> she</c><00:23:36.720><c> just</c><00:23:37.059><c> lived</c><00:23:37.200><c> without</c><00:23:37.500><c> any</c><00:23:37.759><c> hope.</c>

00:23:38.579 --> 00:23:41.019
So<00:23:38.980><c> it's</c><00:23:39.319><c> really</c><00:23:39.579><c> amazing</c><00:23:39.980><c> to</c><00:23:40.180><c> see</c><00:23:40.259><c> someone</c><00:23:40.539><c> that</c><00:23:40.759><c> age</c>

00:23:41.019 --> 00:23:43.740
and<00:23:41.460><c> see</c><00:23:41.819><c> the</c><00:23:42.019><c> Bible</c><00:23:42.160><c> and</c><00:23:42.299><c> like,</c><00:23:42.700><c> wow.</c>

00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:45.539
Every<00:23:44.099><c> week</c><00:23:44.279><c> she</c><00:23:44.420><c> comes</c><00:23:44.640><c> and</c><00:23:44.759><c> she's</c><00:23:45.019><c> like,</c>

00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:47.299
oh,<00:23:45.940><c> I</c><00:23:46.059><c> never</c><00:23:46.400><c> saw</c><00:23:46.660><c> that</c><00:23:46.940><c> before.</c>

00:23:47.779 --> 00:23:49.039
Oh,<00:23:48.019><c> that's</c><00:23:48.480><c> fantastic.</c>

00:23:49.259 --> 00:23:50.500
Then<00:23:49.440><c> you</c><00:23:49.539><c> get</c><00:23:49.640><c> a</c><00:23:49.759><c> bunch</c><00:23:49.900><c> of</c><00:23:50.200><c> teenagers,</c>

00:23:50.539 --> 00:23:52.039
and<00:23:50.700><c> they</c><00:23:50.839><c> all</c><00:23:50.980><c> sit</c><00:23:51.140><c> around</c><00:23:51.380><c> the</c><00:23:51.539><c> room</c><00:23:51.660><c> like</c><00:23:51.900><c> this,</c>

00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:54.539
and<00:23:52.099><c> they</c><00:23:52.180><c> go,</c><00:23:52.480><c> no,</c><00:23:53.259><c> I'm</c><00:23:53.400><c> sorry,</c><00:23:53.599><c> only</c><00:23:53.799><c> kidding.</c>

00:23:54.880 --> 00:23:58.539
It<00:23:55.019><c> is</c><00:23:55.259><c> really</c><00:23:55.519><c> amazing</c><00:23:55.960><c> thing</c><00:23:56.160><c> to</c><00:23:56.319><c> see</c><00:23:56.480><c> something</c><00:23:56.819><c> like</c><00:23:57.160><c> that.</c>

00:23:58.660 --> 00:23:59.579
You<00:23:58.660><c> know,</c><00:23:59.039><c> 50</c><00:23:59.279><c> years</c><00:23:59.440><c> old.</c>

00:23:59.579 --> 00:24:00.839
And<00:23:59.720><c> this</c><00:23:59.900><c> is</c><00:24:00.079><c> not</c><00:24:00.220><c> a</c><00:24:00.400><c> stupid</c><00:24:00.599><c> woman.</c>

00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:02.720
She<00:24:01.019><c> was</c><00:24:01.299><c> an</c><00:24:01.640><c> instructor</c><00:24:02.039><c> in</c><00:24:02.259><c> chemistry</c>

00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:04.420
at<00:24:03.000><c> Oakland</c><00:24:03.279><c> Community</c><00:24:03.740><c> College.</c>

00:24:04.740 --> 00:24:05.779
So<00:24:04.819><c> she</c><00:24:04.940><c> has</c><00:24:05.099><c> a</c><00:24:05.279><c> master's</c><00:24:05.660><c> degree.</c>

00:24:05.940 --> 00:24:06.900
She's<00:24:06.019><c> not</c><00:24:06.180><c> a</c><00:24:06.299><c> stupid</c><00:24:06.480><c> person,</c>

00:24:06.900 --> 00:24:08.880
but<00:24:07.240><c> she</c><00:24:07.460><c> had</c><00:24:07.740><c> never</c><00:24:08.140><c> seen</c><00:24:08.380><c> the</c><00:24:08.579><c> Bible.</c>

00:24:09.380 --> 00:24:12.740
And<00:24:09.579><c> I'm</c><00:24:09.720><c> not</c><00:24:09.960><c> even</c><00:24:10.220><c> sure</c><00:24:10.519><c> why</c><00:24:10.880><c> she</c><00:24:11.099><c> came</c><00:24:11.259><c> to</c><00:24:11.400><c> the</c><00:24:11.559><c> Bible</c><00:24:11.759><c> seminars.</c>

00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:14.740
You<00:24:13.440><c> know,</c><00:24:13.640><c> we've</c><00:24:14.039><c> asked</c><00:24:14.200><c> her</c><00:24:14.319><c> and</c><00:24:14.420><c> she</c><00:24:14.579><c> said,</c>

00:24:14.859 --> 00:24:17.359
well,<00:24:15.140><c> I</c><00:24:15.519><c> was</c><00:24:15.900><c> free</c><00:24:16.119><c> on</c><00:24:16.299><c> Tuesday</c><00:24:16.559><c> night.</c>

00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:20.259
She<00:24:18.200><c> just</c><00:24:18.460><c> thought</c><00:24:18.559><c> she'd</c><00:24:18.839><c> come</c><00:24:19.039><c> down.</c>

00:24:20.380 --> 00:24:22.960
I<00:24:20.660><c> think</c><00:24:20.880><c> she</c><00:24:21.140><c> wasn't</c><00:24:21.519><c> expecting</c><00:24:22.019><c> very</c><00:24:22.440><c> much,</c>

00:24:22.960 --> 00:24:25.299
and<00:24:23.380><c> it</c><00:24:23.460><c> was</c><00:24:23.619><c> like</c><00:24:23.900><c> a</c><00:24:24.180><c> curiosity.</c>

00:24:26.180 --> 00:24:28.779
And<00:24:26.700><c> once</c><00:24:27.059><c> she</c><00:24:27.579><c> started</c><00:24:27.859><c> getting</c><00:24:28.160><c> into</c><00:24:28.599><c> it,</c>

00:24:28.779 --> 00:24:33.359
it<00:24:28.779><c> was</c><00:24:29.019><c> like,</c><00:24:30.660><c> oh,</c><00:24:31.160><c> I</c><00:24:32.019><c> never</c><00:24:32.279><c> thought</c><00:24:32.519><c> of</c><00:24:32.660><c> that.</c>

00:24:33.779 --> 00:24:35.000
She<00:24:34.140><c> always</c><00:24:34.380><c> thought</c><00:24:34.559><c> the</c><00:24:34.740><c> Bible</c>

00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:36.740
was<00:24:35.259><c> just</c><00:24:35.460><c> sort</c><00:24:35.559><c> of</c><00:24:35.660><c> like</c><00:24:35.819><c> the</c><00:24:35.960><c> Ten</c><00:24:36.099><c> Commandments,</c>

00:24:37.099 --> 00:24:38.420
and<00:24:37.420><c> that</c><00:24:37.819><c> was</c><00:24:38.019><c> it.</c>

00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:40.140
And<00:24:39.079><c> there</c><00:24:39.160><c> wasn't</c><00:24:39.400><c> anything</c><00:24:39.799><c> there</c>

00:24:40.140 --> 00:24:42.599
that<00:24:40.359><c> sort</c><00:24:40.539><c> of</c><00:24:41.480><c> could</c><00:24:41.680><c> help</c><00:24:41.900><c> her</c><00:24:42.140><c> in</c><00:24:42.299><c> life.</c>

00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:44.299
So<00:24:43.079><c> it</c><00:24:43.299><c> really</c><00:24:43.599><c> is</c><00:24:43.859><c> amazing.</c>

00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:46.819
And<00:24:45.140><c> she's</c><00:24:45.440><c> really</c><00:24:45.700><c> enjoyed</c><00:24:45.960><c> studying</c><00:24:46.259><c> the</c><00:24:46.579><c> parables</c>

00:24:46.819 --> 00:24:49.180
because<00:24:47.099><c> they</c><00:24:47.279><c> have</c><00:24:47.420><c> some</c><00:24:47.680><c> really</c><00:24:48.619><c> depth.</c>

00:24:49.180 --> 00:24:52.680
Hey,<00:24:49.660><c> take</c><00:24:49.859><c> a</c><00:24:49.940><c> look</c><00:24:50.059><c> at</c><00:24:50.299><c> Proverbs</c><00:24:50.740><c> 25.</c>

00:25:11.759 --> 00:25:17.140
And<00:25:13.119><c> let's</c><00:25:14.339><c> read</c><00:25:14.819><c> verse</c><00:25:15.759><c> 2.</c>

00:25:20.960 --> 00:25:21.940
Okay.

00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:28.640
It<00:25:25.400><c> is</c><00:25:25.619><c> the</c><00:25:25.859><c> glory</c><00:25:26.059><c> of</c><00:25:26.319><c> God</c><00:25:26.500><c> to</c><00:25:26.720><c> conceal</c><00:25:27.279><c> a</c><00:25:27.799><c> thing,</c>

00:25:29.500 --> 00:25:31.740
but<00:25:29.619><c> the</c><00:25:29.940><c> honor</c><00:25:30.200><c> of</c><00:25:30.440><c> kings</c><00:25:30.640><c> is</c><00:25:30.900><c> the</c><00:25:31.180><c> search</c><00:25:31.420><c> at</c><00:25:31.599><c> the</c><00:25:31.720><c> matter.</c>

00:25:31.779 --> 00:25:33.319
You<00:25:31.880><c> have</c><00:25:31.980><c> the</c><00:25:32.119><c> New</c><00:25:32.220><c> King</c><00:25:32.460><c> James</c><00:25:32.720><c> also?</c>

00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:36.160
So<00:25:33.680><c> it</c><00:25:33.700><c> uses</c><00:25:33.980><c> glory</c><00:25:34.420><c> in</c><00:25:34.660><c> both</c><00:25:34.880><c> instead</c><00:25:35.220><c> of</c><00:25:35.440><c> honor.</c>

00:25:37.220 --> 00:25:41.079
And<00:25:37.460><c> I</c><00:25:37.839><c> think</c><00:25:38.039><c> the</c><00:25:38.339><c> point</c><00:25:38.539><c> is</c><00:25:38.839><c> here</c><00:25:39.079><c> that</c><00:25:40.039><c> God,</c>

00:25:41.900 --> 00:25:45.759
the<00:25:42.140><c> word</c><00:25:42.299><c> conceal</c><00:25:42.779><c> is</c><00:25:43.059><c> probably</c><00:25:43.700><c> not</c><00:25:44.220><c> quite</c><00:25:44.619><c> correct.</c>

00:25:45.980 --> 00:25:52.000
It<00:25:46.579><c> has</c><00:25:46.920><c> more</c><00:25:47.240><c> the</c><00:25:47.539><c> idea</c><00:25:48.220><c> that</c><00:25:49.019><c> God</c><00:25:49.380><c> has</c><00:25:50.500><c> covered</c><00:25:50.759><c> over</c><00:25:51.380><c> some</c><00:25:51.720><c> things</c>

00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.440
and<00:25:52.279><c> expects</c><00:25:52.680><c> us</c><00:25:52.980><c> to</c><00:25:53.220><c> lift</c><00:25:53.440><c> the</c><00:25:53.700><c> cover</c><00:25:53.920><c> off,</c><00:25:55.420><c> to</c><00:25:55.660><c> uncover</c><00:25:56.059><c> it,</c>

00:25:56.619 --> 00:25:59.380
expects<00:25:56.819><c> us</c><00:25:57.119><c> to</c><00:25:57.700><c> dig</c><00:25:57.960><c> into</c><00:25:58.279><c> it</c><00:25:58.519><c> and</c><00:25:58.619><c> do</c><00:25:58.839><c> it</c><00:25:59.059><c> deeper.</c>

00:25:59.740 --> 00:26:03.000
God<00:25:59.960><c> doesn't</c><00:26:00.440><c> hide</c><00:26:00.859><c> it</c><00:26:01.019><c> or</c><00:26:01.240><c> bury</c><00:26:01.519><c> it</c><00:26:01.720><c> so</c><00:26:01.859><c> we</c><00:26:02.059><c> can't</c><00:26:02.319><c> find</c><00:26:02.640><c> it,</c>

00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:06.960
but<00:26:03.539><c> he</c><00:26:03.720><c> wants</c><00:26:04.079><c> us</c><00:26:04.700><c> to</c><00:26:05.000><c> do</c><00:26:05.799><c> the</c><00:26:06.160><c> uncovering.</c>

00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:10.960
And<00:26:07.680><c> I</c><00:26:07.799><c> think</c><00:26:08.039><c> that</c><00:26:08.259><c> that's</c><00:26:09.440><c> the</c><00:26:09.619><c> way</c><00:26:09.799><c> the</c><00:26:10.019><c> Scriptures</c><00:26:10.339><c> is</c><00:26:10.660><c> written,</c>

00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:14.940

And<00:27:42.400><c> the</c><00:27:42.579><c> Pharisees</c><00:27:43.059><c> and</c><00:27:43.279><c> scribes</c><00:27:43.839><c> ask</c><00:27:44.440><c> him,</c>

00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:47.980
Why<00:27:45.519><c> do</c><00:27:45.660><c> your</c><00:27:45.779><c> disciples</c><00:27:46.119><c> not</c><00:27:46.400><c> walk</c><00:27:46.619><c> according</c><00:27:47.000><c> to</c><00:27:47.220><c> the</c><00:27:47.380><c> tradition</c><00:27:47.759><c> of</c>

the<00:27:48.160><c> elders,</c>

but<00:27:49.099><c> eat</c><00:27:49.259><c> bread</c><00:27:49.500><c> and</c><00:27:49.720><c> unwashed</c><00:27:50.079><c> hands?</c>

00:27:51.059 --> 00:27:52.400
He<00:27:51.359><c> answered</c><00:27:51.619><c> and</c><00:27:51.819><c> said</c><00:27:51.960><c> to</c><00:27:52.160><c> them,</c>

00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:55.900
Well,<00:27:53.400><c> did</c><00:27:53.519><c> Isaiah</c><00:27:53.859><c> prophesy</c><00:27:54.579><c> of</c><00:27:54.880><c> you</c><00:27:55.099><c> hypocrites,</c>

00:27:56.460 --> 00:27:58.579
and<00:27:56.940><c> it</c><00:27:57.420><c> is</c><00:27:57.640><c> written,</c>

00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:00.839
This<00:27:59.160><c> people's</c><00:27:59.680><c> honor</c><00:27:59.819><c> is</c><00:28:00.039><c> me</c><00:28:00.140><c> with</c><00:28:00.319><c> their</c><00:28:00.559><c> lips,</c>

00:28:00.980 --> 00:28:03.059
but<00:28:01.059><c> their</c><00:28:01.240><c> heart</c><00:28:01.420><c> is</c><00:28:01.720><c> far</c><00:28:01.839><c> from</c><00:28:02.099><c> me.</c>

00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:04.680
And<00:28:03.500><c> in</c><00:28:03.700><c> vain</c><00:28:03.819><c> they</c><00:28:04.019><c> worship</c><00:28:04.299><c> me,</c>

00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:10.799
For<00:28:08.920><c> laying</c><00:28:09.160><c> aside</c><00:28:09.619><c> the</c><00:28:09.839><c> commandment</c><00:28:10.259><c> of</c><00:28:10.380><c> God,</c>

00:28:11.259 --> 00:28:13.220
you<00:28:11.420><c> hold</c><00:28:11.619><c> the</c><00:28:11.819><c> tradition</c><00:28:12.160><c> of</c><00:28:12.420><c> men,</c>

00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:14.740
the<00:28:13.440><c> washing</c><00:28:13.640><c> of</c><00:28:13.920><c> pitchers</c><00:28:14.279><c> and</c><00:28:14.440><c> cups,</c>

00:28:14.980 --> 00:28:17.240
and<00:28:15.140><c> many</c><00:28:15.359><c> other</c><00:28:15.660><c> such</c><00:28:15.839><c> things</c><00:28:16.160><c> you</c><00:28:16.400><c> do.</c>

00:28:17.339 --> 00:28:18.160
And<00:28:17.539><c> he</c><00:28:17.599><c> said</c><00:28:17.720><c> to</c><00:28:17.839><c> them,</c>

00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:20.859
All<00:28:18.779><c> too</c><00:28:18.980><c> well</c><00:28:19.160><c> you</c><00:28:19.440><c> reject</c><00:28:19.740><c> the</c><00:28:19.940><c> commandment</c><00:28:20.380><c> of</c><00:28:20.539><c> God,</c>

00:28:20.859 --> 00:28:23.079
that<00:28:21.339><c> you</c><00:28:21.559><c> may</c><00:28:21.759><c> keep</c><00:28:21.920><c> the</c><00:28:22.119><c> tradition.</c>

00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:24.480
Okay.

00:28:24.519 --> 00:28:28.220
So<00:28:25.200><c> the</c><00:28:25.660><c> parables</c><00:28:26.019><c> were</c><00:28:26.299><c> aimed</c><00:28:26.579><c> principally</c><00:28:27.019><c> at</c><00:28:27.240><c> the</c><00:28:27.420><c> Pharisees.</c>

00:28:28.339 --> 00:28:31.359
And<00:28:28.480><c> we're</c><00:28:28.619><c> going</c><00:28:28.759><c> to</c><00:28:28.940><c> see</c><00:28:29.440><c> this</c><00:28:30.599><c> a</c><00:28:30.839><c> little</c><00:28:31.079><c> bit</c>

00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:33.519
in<00:28:31.720><c> checking</c><00:28:31.900><c> a</c><00:28:32.079><c> couple</c><00:28:32.279><c> more</c><00:28:32.519><c> verses.</c>

00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:40.200
But<00:28:34.400><c> here</c><00:28:35.460><c> Jesus</c><00:28:36.160><c> specifically</c><00:28:37.460><c> aims</c><00:28:38.740><c> his</c><00:28:39.880><c> thinking</c>

00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:42.400
at<00:28:40.539><c> the</c><00:28:40.680><c> way</c><00:28:41.099><c> their</c><00:28:41.640><c> teaching</c><00:28:42.119><c> was.</c>

00:28:42.500 --> 00:28:43.920
See<00:28:42.700><c> verse</c><00:28:42.920><c> 7,</c>

00:28:44.180 --> 00:28:48.740
They<00:28:44.200><c> teach</c><00:28:44.779><c> the</c><00:28:45.279><c> doctrines</c><00:28:45.859><c> for</c><00:28:46.200><c> doctrines</c><00:28:46.640><c> the</c><00:28:46.859><c> commandments</c><00:28:47.480><c> of</c><00:28:47.880><c> men.</c>

00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:50.059
So<00:28:49.000><c> the</c><00:28:49.259><c> Pharisees</c><00:28:49.779><c> said,</c>

00:28:50.059 --> 00:28:52.180
Anyone<00:28:50.720><c> ever</c><00:28:51.000><c> see</c><00:28:51.140><c> the</c><00:28:51.359><c> Talmud?</c>

00:28:53.380 --> 00:28:57.220
The<00:28:53.599><c> Talmud</c><00:28:54.019><c> is</c><00:28:54.319><c> a</c><00:28:54.480><c> book</c><00:28:54.720><c> of</c><00:28:55.140><c> commentaries</c><00:28:55.720><c> on</c><00:28:55.880><c> the</c><00:28:56.019><c> Old</c><00:28:56.220><c> Testament.</c>

00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:00.099
And<00:28:57.740><c> the</c><00:28:57.880><c> Talmud</c><00:28:58.240><c> is</c><00:28:58.519><c> about</c><00:28:58.740><c> this</c><00:28:59.200><c> big.</c>

00:29:00.779 --> 00:29:03.339
It's<00:29:01.359><c> a</c><00:29:01.539><c> very</c><00:29:01.980><c> big</c><00:29:02.279><c> set</c><00:29:02.460><c> of</c><00:29:02.640><c> books.</c>

00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:05.960
I<00:29:04.259><c> went</c><00:29:04.480><c> and</c><00:29:04.619><c> bought</c><00:29:04.759><c> the</c><00:29:04.920><c> whole</c><00:29:05.220><c> set</c><00:29:05.420><c> one</c><00:29:05.759><c> time</c>

00:29:05.960 --> 00:29:07.839
and<00:29:06.500><c> actually</c><00:29:06.980><c> read</c><00:29:07.240><c> through</c><00:29:07.539><c> it.</c>

00:29:08.259 --> 00:29:12.180
I<00:29:08.720><c> don't</c><00:29:08.980><c> claim</c><00:29:09.240><c> to</c><00:29:09.539><c> remember</c><00:29:09.900><c> all</c><00:29:10.460><c> of</c><00:29:10.619><c> it</c><00:29:10.740><c> or</c><00:29:10.880><c> even</c><00:29:11.319><c> most</c><00:29:11.720><c> of</c><00:29:11.880><c> it.</c>

00:29:12.319 --> 00:29:14.460
But<00:29:12.539><c> there's</c><00:29:12.920><c> some</c><00:29:13.140><c> really</c><00:29:13.460><c> interesting</c><00:29:13.900><c> reading</c><00:29:14.180><c> in</c><00:29:14.319><c> it.</c>

00:29:14.460 --> 00:29:18.980

the<00:31:38.819><c> house.</c>

00:31:39.039 --> 00:31:40.359
In<00:31:39.200><c> fact,</c><00:31:39.420><c> I</c><00:31:39.539><c> have</c><00:31:39.740><c> a</c><00:31:39.759><c> Jewish</c><00:31:40.079><c> friend</c>

00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:43.880
and<00:31:40.960><c> what</c><00:31:41.039><c> they</c><00:31:41.279><c> do</c><00:31:41.500><c> is</c><00:31:41.660><c> they</c><00:31:41.900><c> hide</c><00:31:42.180><c> one</c><00:31:42.640><c> piece</c><00:31:42.960><c> of</c><00:31:43.200><c> stale</c><00:31:43.440><c> bread</c>

00:31:43.880 --> 00:31:45.819
in<00:31:44.779><c> the</c><00:31:45.039><c> cabinet</c><00:31:45.319><c> somewhere</c>

00:31:45.819 --> 00:31:49.059
and<00:31:46.299><c> then</c><00:31:46.500><c> the</c><00:31:46.759><c> children,</c><00:31:47.380><c> they</c><00:31:48.279><c> play</c><00:31:48.579><c> a</c><00:31:48.660><c> game</c>

00:31:49.059 --> 00:31:51.559
like<00:31:49.539><c> running</c><00:31:49.819><c> around</c><00:31:50.180><c> to</c><00:31:50.420><c> find</c><00:31:50.700><c> this</c><00:31:51.180><c> one</c>

00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:53.839
and<00:31:52.259><c> that's</c><00:31:52.660><c> the</c><00:31:52.759><c> last</c><00:31:53.019><c> piece</c><00:31:53.279><c> of</c><00:31:53.559><c> leaven</c>

00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:55.740
that<00:31:54.319><c> leaves</c><00:31:54.599><c> the</c><00:31:54.819><c> house,</c><00:31:55.279><c> right?</c>

00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:57.599
Now<00:31:56.259><c> Christians</c><00:31:56.599><c> don't</c><00:31:56.900><c> do</c><00:31:57.079><c> this,</c><00:31:57.500><c> right?</c>

00:31:57.619 --> 00:31:59.859
Except<00:31:57.920><c> what's</c><00:31:58.220><c> called</c><00:31:58.440><c> Easter</c><00:31:58.799><c> egg</c><00:31:59.140><c> roll</c><00:31:59.279><c> or</c><00:31:59.400><c> whatever</c><00:31:59.680><c> it</c>

00:31:59.859 --> 00:32:00.779
is,<00:32:00.279><c> right?</c>

00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:02.940
Alright,<00:32:01.359><c> so</c><00:32:01.559><c> we</c><00:32:01.839><c> have</c><00:32:02.079><c> developed,</c>

00:32:03.220 --> 00:32:05.079
not<00:32:03.640><c> we</c><00:32:03.980><c> but</c><00:32:04.339><c> general</c><00:32:04.759><c> Christians,</c>

00:32:05.180 --> 00:32:07.160
develop<00:32:05.480><c> other</c><00:32:05.839><c> kinds</c><00:32:06.099><c> of</c><00:32:06.259><c> silly</c><00:32:06.700><c> rituals</c>

00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:08.819
and<00:32:07.319><c> you</c><00:32:07.440><c> go,</c><00:32:07.859><c> what's</c><00:32:08.119><c> an</c><00:32:08.259><c> Easter</c><00:32:08.500><c> egg</c><00:32:08.740><c> hunt?</c>

00:32:08.819 --> 00:32:10.880
Anyone<00:32:09.200><c> have</c><00:32:09.380><c> any</c><00:32:09.559><c> idea</c><00:32:09.819><c> what</c><00:32:09.940><c> that</c><00:32:10.119><c> is?</c>

00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:12.920
I<00:32:11.640><c> mean,</c><00:32:11.640><c> I</c><00:32:11.839><c> don't.</c><00:32:12.200><c> I</c><00:32:12.200><c> mean,</c><00:32:12.420><c> I</c><00:32:12.440><c> don't</c><00:32:12.559><c> know</c><00:32:12.759><c> why.</c>

00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:14.539
Why<00:32:13.099><c> do</c><00:32:13.259><c> they</c><00:32:13.339><c> do</c><00:32:13.539><c> it?</c>

00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:17.839
No,<00:32:15.779><c> but</c><00:32:15.940><c> do</c><00:32:16.099><c> you</c><00:32:16.099><c> know</c><00:32:16.220><c> where</c><00:32:16.460><c> it</c><00:32:16.539><c> really</c><00:32:16.819><c> comes</c><00:32:17.079><c> from?</c>

00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:20.960
It's<00:32:19.440><c> a</c><00:32:19.619><c> pagan</c><00:32:19.880><c> symbol</c><00:32:20.319><c> of</c><00:32:20.559><c> rebirth.</c>

00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:22.420
You<00:32:21.539><c> know,</c><00:32:21.559><c> you</c><00:32:21.660><c> go</c><00:32:21.779><c> get</c><00:32:21.960><c> the</c><00:32:22.200><c> egg.</c>

00:32:22.660 --> 00:32:24.940
It<00:32:22.779><c> has</c><00:32:22.960><c> absolutely</c><00:32:23.339><c> nothing</c><00:32:23.660><c> to</c><00:32:23.880><c> do</c><00:32:23.980><c> with</c><00:32:24.140><c> the</c><00:32:24.319><c> Bible</c><00:32:24.619><c> or</c><00:32:24.779><c> Christianity.</c>

00:32:25.220 --> 00:32:27.019
But<00:32:25.339><c> it</c><00:32:25.420><c> was</c><00:32:25.640><c> a</c><00:32:25.839><c> pagan</c><00:32:26.140><c> symbol</c><00:32:26.519><c> of</c><00:32:26.720><c> rebirth</c>

00:32:27.019 --> 00:32:29.720
because<00:32:27.339><c> from</c><00:32:27.740><c> an</c><00:32:27.960><c> egg</c><00:32:28.400><c> came</c><00:32:28.779><c> the,</c>

00:32:29.720 --> 00:32:30.980
what<00:32:29.839><c> do</c><00:32:30.000><c> you</c><00:32:30.000><c> call</c><00:32:30.119><c> it,</c><00:32:30.220><c> the</c><00:32:30.420><c> chick,</c><00:32:30.680><c> right?</c>

00:32:31.299 --> 00:32:34.039
So<00:32:31.500><c> this</c><00:32:32.119><c> was</c><00:32:32.319><c> done</c><00:32:32.539><c> in</c><00:32:32.740><c> ancient</c><00:32:32.980><c> times</c><00:32:33.299><c> by</c><00:32:33.559><c> pagans.</c>

00:32:34.259 --> 00:32:36.900
They<00:32:34.420><c> would</c><00:32:34.640><c> hide</c><00:32:34.920><c> eggs</c><00:32:35.380><c> as</c><00:32:35.880><c> a</c><00:32:36.079><c> symbol</c><00:32:36.279><c> of</c><00:32:36.500><c> fertility</c>

00:32:36.900 --> 00:32:40.039
because<00:32:37.220><c> the</c><00:32:37.539><c> egg</c><00:32:37.640><c> would,</c><00:32:38.000><c> you</c><00:32:38.200><c> know,</c><00:32:38.660><c> bring</c><00:32:38.759><c> forth</c><00:32:39.039><c> new</c><00:32:39.259><c> birth.</c>

00:32:40.140 --> 00:32:41.579
And<00:32:40.160><c> then</c><00:32:40.420><c> Christians</c><00:32:40.720><c> adopted</c><00:32:41.299><c> it</c>

00:32:41.579 --> 00:32:43.279
and<00:32:41.759><c> I</c><00:32:41.920><c> have</c><00:32:42.059><c> no</c><00:32:42.220><c> idea</c><00:32:42.519><c> when.</c>

00:32:43.319 --> 00:32:44.700
Well,<00:32:43.619><c> Renaissance</c><00:32:43.960><c> artists,</c>

00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:47.660
they<00:32:45.000><c> have</c><00:32:45.180><c> all</c><00:32:45.420><c> sorts</c><00:32:45.680><c> of</c><00:32:45.859><c> symbols</c><00:32:46.119><c> like,</c>

00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:49.460
well,<00:32:48.079><c> the</c><00:32:48.220><c> egg</c><00:32:48.400><c> is</c><00:32:48.740><c> a</c><00:32:48.880><c> good</c><00:32:49.099><c> example.</c>

00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:50.799
In<00:32:50.079><c> their</c><00:32:50.359><c> paintings,</c>

00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:52.779
if<00:32:51.700><c> you</c><00:32:51.799><c> ever</c><00:32:51.960><c> see</c><00:32:52.059><c> old</c><00:32:52.319><c> paintings</c>

00:32:52.779 --> 00:32:55.480
and<00:32:53.279><c> they</c><00:32:53.420><c> have</c><00:32:53.839><c> like</c><00:32:54.059><c> still</c><00:32:54.180><c> life</c><00:32:54.460><c> or</c><00:32:54.720><c> something,</c>

00:32:55.819 --> 00:32:57.500
all<00:32:56.319><c> the</c><00:32:56.519><c> little</c><00:32:56.740><c> objects</c><00:32:57.140><c> in</c><00:32:57.339><c> there,</c>

00:32:57.640 --> 00:33:00.559
they<00:32:57.660><c> all</c><00:32:57.819><c> have</c><00:32:58.259><c> a</c><00:32:58.599><c> certain</c><00:32:58.859><c> kind</c><00:32:59.220><c> of</c><00:33:00.339><c> symbolic</c><00:33:00.339><c> meaning.</c>

00:33:00.720 --> 00:33:01.420
Right,<00:33:00.940><c> right.</c>

00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:03.940
The<00:33:01.799><c> Dutch</c><00:33:02.000><c> painters</c><00:33:02.359><c> were</c><00:33:02.619><c> particularly</c><00:33:03.200><c> good</c><00:33:03.420><c> at</c><00:33:03.640><c> that.</c>

00:33:04.339 --> 00:33:06.799
They<00:33:04.339><c> had,</c><00:33:05.180><c> their</c><00:33:05.180><c> paintings</c><00:33:05.460><c> not</c><00:33:05.700><c> only</c><00:33:05.920><c> were</c><00:33:06.099><c> beautiful</c><00:33:06.440><c> paintings</c>

00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:09.079
but<00:33:06.940><c> they</c><00:33:07.059><c> were</c><00:33:07.220><c> supposed</c><00:33:07.440><c> to</c><00:33:07.559><c> be</c><00:33:07.779><c> moral</c><00:33:08.000><c> lessons.</c>

00:33:09.220 --> 00:33:10.779
You<00:33:09.240><c> know,</c><00:33:09.380><c> that's</c><00:33:09.619><c> pretty</c><00:33:10.000><c> cool</c><00:33:10.339><c> actually.</c>

00:33:11.000 --> 00:33:13.720
If<00:33:11.000><c> you,</c><00:33:12.220><c> there's</c><00:33:12.539><c> one</c><00:33:12.900><c> guy</c><00:33:13.220><c> in</c><00:33:13.339><c> particular</c>

00:33:13.720 --> 00:33:15.700
whose<00:33:13.980><c> paintings</c><00:33:14.400><c> is,</c>

00:33:17.059 --> 00:33:18.539
he<00:33:17.299><c> painted</c><00:33:17.519><c> lots</c><00:33:17.819><c> of</c><00:33:18.119><c> allegories.</c>

00:33:18.599 --> 00:33:20.000
What's<00:33:18.799><c> his</c><00:33:19.019><c> name?</c>

00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:23.299
Bruegel.

00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:26.640
Bruegel<00:33:23.740><c> has</c><00:33:24.240><c> several</c><00:33:24.640><c> very</c><00:33:25.099><c> famous</c><00:33:25.460><c> paintings</c><00:33:25.880><c> like</c><00:33:26.200><c> that.</c>

00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:28.660
And<00:33:27.000><c> one,</c><00:33:27.259><c> in</c><00:33:27.460><c> fact,</c><00:33:27.640><c> called</c><00:33:27.880><c> The</c><00:33:28.140><c> Allegory</c>

00:33:28.660 --> 00:33:32.920
where<00:33:29.000><c> he</c><00:33:29.279><c> tells</c><00:33:29.500><c> about</c><00:33:29.900><c> 60</c><00:33:30.299><c> different</c><00:33:31.079><c> parables</c><00:33:31.640><c> in</c><00:33:31.960><c> the</c><00:33:32.099><c> painting.</c>

00:33:33.259 --> 00:33:34.640
And<00:33:33.599><c> if</c><00:33:33.759><c> you've</c><00:33:33.920><c> ever</c><00:33:34.099><c> seen</c><00:33:34.299><c> this</c><00:33:34.519><c> painting,</c>

00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:36.160
this<00:33:34.799><c> really</c><00:33:35.059><c> spectacular</c><00:33:35.720><c> painting,</c>

00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:37.380
I<00:33:36.319><c> don't</c><00:33:36.559><c> know</c><00:33:36.880><c> where</c><00:33:37.119><c> it</c><00:33:37.259><c> is.</c>

00:33:37.380 --> 00:33:39.539
It's<00:33:37.480><c> not</c><00:33:37.599><c> in</c><00:33:37.680><c> the</c><00:33:37.759><c> United</c><00:33:38.019><c> States</c><00:33:38.460><c> or,</c>

00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:41.500
I<00:33:39.799><c> think</c><00:33:40.000><c> it's</c><00:33:40.220><c> in</c><00:33:40.460><c> Germany</c><00:33:40.880><c> somewhere,</c>

00:33:41.660 --> 00:33:42.579
maybe<00:33:41.980><c> in</c><00:33:42.180><c> Berlin.</c>

00:33:42.940 --> 00:33:45.440
But<00:33:43.099><c> it's</c><00:33:43.240><c> a</c><00:33:43.359><c> very,</c><00:33:43.640><c> really</c><00:33:44.240><c> spectacular</c><00:33:45.059><c> painting</c>

00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:46.960
filled<00:33:45.759><c> with</c><00:33:46.099><c> parables.</c>

00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:49.039
So<00:33:47.460><c> this</c><00:33:47.940><c> idea</c><00:33:48.400><c> of</c><00:33:48.559><c> the</c><00:33:48.759><c> Jews,</c>

00:33:49.259 --> 00:33:50.599
what<00:33:49.460><c> did</c><00:33:49.579><c> they</c><00:33:49.799><c> do?</c>

00:33:50.660 --> 00:33:52.619
They<00:33:50.960><c> had</c><00:33:51.259><c> all</c><00:33:51.579><c> these</c><00:33:51.819><c> doctrines</c>

00:33:52.619 --> 00:33:54.460
and<00:33:53.059><c> they</c><00:33:53.259><c> had</c><00:33:53.559><c> turned</c><00:33:53.819><c> all</c><00:33:54.140><c> these</c><00:33:54.299><c> things</c>

00:33:54.460 --> 00:33:57.000
into<00:33:54.759><c> really</c><00:33:55.079><c> excessive</c><00:33:55.839><c> rituals.</c>

00:33:57.259 --> 00:33:58.799
And<00:33:57.500><c> then</c><00:33:57.660><c> he</c><00:33:57.779><c> says,</c>

00:33:58.940 --> 00:34:00.059
verse<00:33:59.539><c> 9,</c>

00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:02.140
you<00:34:00.599><c> reject</c><00:34:00.960><c> the</c><00:34:01.279><c> commandments</c><00:34:01.640><c> of</c><00:34:01.940><c> God.</c>

00:34:02.140 --> 00:34:04.200
The<00:34:02.700><c> traditions</c><00:34:03.099><c> became</c><00:34:03.519><c> more</c><00:34:03.819><c> important</c>

00:34:04.200 --> 00:34:05.640
than<00:34:04.299><c> God's</c><00:34:04.660><c> commandments.</c>

00:34:06.940 --> 00:34:07.359
And<00:34:06.940><c> that's,</c>

00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:10.320
that<00:34:07.920><c> is</c><00:34:08.599><c> really</c><00:34:09.079><c> a</c><00:34:09.340><c> disastrous</c><00:34:09.800><c> mistake</c>

00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:11.679
in<00:34:10.500><c> any</c><00:34:10.739><c> religion.</c>

00:34:11.699 --> 00:34:14.639
Where<00:34:11.980><c> we</c><00:34:12.260><c> get</c><00:34:12.500><c> so</c><00:34:12.860><c> obsessed</c><00:34:13.219><c> by</c><00:34:13.579><c> sort</c><00:34:13.699><c> of</c>

00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:16.380
traditions<00:34:15.380><c> and</c><00:34:16.000><c> form</c>

00:34:16.380 --> 00:34:18.320
and<00:34:16.699><c> substance</c><00:34:17.159><c> that</c><00:34:17.699><c> we</c><00:34:18.000><c> forget</c>

00:34:18.320 --> 00:34:20.480
entirely<00:34:18.940><c> about</c><00:34:19.380><c> the</c><00:34:19.599><c> spiritual</c><00:34:19.980><c> principles</c>

00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:21.960
of<00:34:20.659><c> which</c><00:34:20.820><c> God</c><00:34:21.059><c> expects</c><00:34:21.519><c> of</c><00:34:21.699><c> us.</c>

00:34:22.460 --> 00:34:24.460
Go<00:34:22.860><c> to</c><00:34:23.039><c> Matthew</c><00:34:23.519><c> chapter</c><00:34:24.059><c> 23</c>

00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:26.800
and<00:34:25.380><c> you</c><00:34:25.559><c> see</c><00:34:25.699><c> that</c><00:34:25.900><c> Jesus,</c>

00:34:28.340 --> 00:34:29.480
the<00:34:28.659><c> problem</c>

00:34:29.480 --> 00:34:31.460
with<00:34:30.400><c> the</c><00:34:30.739><c> Pharisees</c>

00:34:31.460 --> 00:34:33.880
was<00:34:31.679><c> not</c><00:34:31.980><c> that</c><00:34:32.099><c> they</c><00:34:32.300><c> had</c><00:34:32.519><c> wrong</c><00:34:32.760><c> doctrine.</c>

00:34:34.059 --> 00:34:37.099
It's<00:34:34.139><c> Matthew</c><00:34:35.099><c> chapter</c><00:34:35.699><c> 23.</c>

00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:41.360
This<00:34:39.519><c> sometimes</c><00:34:40.400><c> amazes</c><00:34:41.019><c> people</c>

00:34:41.360 --> 00:34:44.059
because<00:34:41.699><c> the</c><00:34:41.980><c> Pharisees</c><00:34:42.380><c> had</c><00:34:42.639><c> correct</c><00:34:43.059><c> doctrine.</c>

00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:46.059
The<00:34:45.099><c> parables</c><00:34:45.440><c> were</c><00:34:45.760><c> told</c>

00:34:46.059 --> 00:34:47.320
to<00:34:46.260><c> them</c>

00:34:47.340 --> 00:34:49.219
because<00:34:47.679><c> they</c><00:34:47.980><c> didn't</c><00:34:48.320><c> understand</c>

00:34:49.219 --> 00:34:50.800
the<00:34:49.480><c> application</c><00:34:50.119><c> in</c><00:34:50.340><c> this</c><00:34:50.519><c> doctrine.</c>

00:34:50.860 --> 00:34:53.119
They<00:34:50.980><c> didn't</c><00:34:51.179><c> understand</c><00:34:51.619><c> the</c><00:34:51.860><c> spiritual</c><00:34:52.440><c> aspects</c>

00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:55.920
of<00:34:54.139><c> what</c><00:34:54.739><c> God</c><00:34:55.000><c> expected</c><00:34:55.519><c> of</c><00:34:55.679><c> them.</c>

00:34:56.119 --> 00:34:57.739
Now<00:34:56.400><c> Matthew</c><00:34:56.619><c> 23,</c>

00:34:57.739 --> 00:34:59.059
let's<00:34:58.380><c> see,</c>

00:34:59.860 --> 00:35:01.760
let's<00:35:00.699><c> go</c>

00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:04.780
through<00:35:03.579><c> verse</c>

00:35:05.260 --> 00:35:07.159
7.

00:35:28.179 --> 00:35:29.280
...

00:35:49.539 --> 00:35:51.400
Greetings<00:35:50.139><c> in</c><00:35:50.739><c> the</c><00:35:50.920><c> market</c>

00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:54.380
and<00:35:52.000><c> to</c><00:35:52.139><c> be</c><00:35:52.340><c> caught</c><00:35:52.480><c> of</c><00:35:52.659><c> men,</c><00:35:53.260><c> Rabbi,</c><00:35:53.440><c> Rabbi.</c>

00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:56.159
What<00:35:54.940><c> does</c><00:35:55.099><c> Rabbi</c><00:35:55.400><c> mean?</c>

00:35:57.400 --> 00:36:03.019
Master,<00:35:58.840><c> in</c><00:35:58.960><c> the</c><00:35:59.079><c> sense</c><00:35:59.300><c> of</c><00:35:59.519><c> teacher,</c><00:36:01.519><c> like</c><00:36:01.699><c> a</c><00:36:01.940><c> mentor.</c>

00:36:04.059 --> 00:36:06.019
Okay,<00:36:04.619><c> so</c><00:36:04.960><c> isn't</c><00:36:05.099><c> this</c><00:36:05.320><c> kind</c><00:36:05.539><c> of</c><00:36:05.780><c> stunning?</c>

00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:13.579
He<00:36:06.320><c> says,</c><00:36:07.639><c> therefore</c><00:36:09.920><c> whatever</c><00:36:10.760><c> they</c><00:36:11.480><c> do,</c><00:36:12.219><c> you</c><00:36:12.460><c> observe.</c>

00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:18.019
Whatever<00:36:14.219><c> they</c><00:36:14.699><c> bid</c><00:36:14.860><c> you</c><00:36:15.260><c> observe,</c><00:36:16.460><c> that</c><00:36:16.679><c> observe</c><00:36:17.099><c> and</c><00:36:17.340><c> do.</c>

00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:19.659
So<00:36:18.480><c> their</c><00:36:18.860><c> teachings</c><00:36:19.139><c> were</c><00:36:19.420><c> fine.</c>

00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:21.360
There<00:36:20.000><c> was</c><00:36:20.099><c> nothing</c><00:36:20.300><c> wrong</c><00:36:20.500><c> with</c><00:36:20.639><c> their</c><00:36:20.880><c> doctrines.</c>

00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:22.920
They<00:36:21.820><c> just</c><00:36:22.039><c> didn't</c><00:36:22.239><c> do</c><00:36:22.440><c> them.</c>

00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:26.059
And<00:36:23.380><c> they</c><00:36:23.539><c> had</c><00:36:23.800><c> added</c><00:36:24.019><c> on</c><00:36:24.440><c> top</c><00:36:24.780><c> of</c><00:36:24.940><c> them</c><00:36:25.079><c> all</c><00:36:25.340><c> these</c><00:36:25.559><c> traditions,</c>

00:36:26.199 --> 00:36:28.719
which<00:36:26.300><c> had</c><00:36:26.480><c> nothing</c><00:36:26.780><c> to</c><00:36:27.019><c> do</c><00:36:27.159><c> with</c><00:36:27.380><c> their</c><00:36:27.579><c> spiritual</c><00:36:27.880><c> life.</c>

00:36:28.880 --> 00:36:31.659
And<00:36:29.000><c> it's</c><00:36:29.440><c> something</c><00:36:29.739><c> that</c><00:36:30.000><c> one</c><00:36:30.139><c> should</c><00:36:30.380><c> always</c><00:36:30.800><c> be</c><00:36:31.019><c> on</c><00:36:31.300><c> God,</c>

00:36:31.780 --> 00:36:33.739
to<00:36:31.960><c> be</c><00:36:32.139><c> able</c><00:36:32.320><c> to</c><00:36:32.480><c> tell</c><00:36:32.599><c> the</c><00:36:32.800><c> difference</c><00:36:33.099><c> between</c><00:36:33.440><c> what's</c>

00:36:33.739 --> 00:36:35.920
in<00:36:33.840><c> the</c><00:36:33.980><c> Word</c><00:36:34.119><c> of</c><00:36:34.300><c> God,</c><00:36:35.159><c> and</c><00:36:35.260><c> what's</c><00:36:35.559><c> important,</c>

00:36:35.960 --> 00:36:36.940
and<00:36:36.039><c> what's</c><00:36:36.280><c> of</c><00:36:36.380><c> the</c><00:36:36.619><c> Spirit.</c>

00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:40.179
And<00:36:37.440><c> what</c><00:36:37.619><c> we</c><00:36:37.940><c> sort</c><00:36:38.059><c> of</c><00:36:38.300><c> add</c><00:36:38.500><c> on</c><00:36:38.980><c> because</c><00:36:39.360><c> of</c><00:36:39.659><c> tradition,</c>

00:36:40.300 --> 00:36:44.820
and<00:36:40.480><c> custom,</c><00:36:41.900><c> and</c><00:36:42.239><c> with</c><00:36:43.579><c> time</c><00:36:44.039><c> people</c><00:36:44.420><c> tend</c>

00:36:44.820 --> 00:36:47.280
to<00:36:45.400><c> think</c><00:36:45.699><c> that</c><00:36:45.980><c> certain</c><00:36:46.179><c> things</c><00:36:46.440><c> are</c><00:36:46.639><c> in</c><00:36:46.760><c> the</c><00:36:46.960><c> scripture,</c>

00:36:47.340 --> 00:36:49.880
and<00:36:47.480><c> they're</c><00:36:47.780><c> totally</c><00:36:48.139><c> important,</c><00:36:48.699><c> and</c><00:36:48.920><c> they're</c><00:36:49.139><c> not.</c>

00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:52.179
So<00:36:50.139><c> what</c><00:36:50.280><c> he</c><00:36:50.480><c> says</c><00:36:50.780><c> is</c><00:36:51.019><c> that</c><00:36:51.239><c> these</c><00:36:51.559><c> people,</c>

00:36:52.179 --> 00:36:54.920
they<00:36:52.559><c> taught</c><00:36:52.880><c> the</c><00:36:53.159><c> truth,</c><00:36:53.380><c> but</c><00:36:53.500><c> they</c><00:36:53.659><c> didn't</c><00:36:53.860><c> do</c><00:36:54.099><c> it.</c>

00:36:55.179 --> 00:36:57.380
They<00:36:55.400><c> were</c><00:36:55.679><c> very</c><00:36:55.960><c> hypocritical.</c>

00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:01.079
But<00:36:59.179><c> do</c><00:36:59.460><c> not</c><00:36:59.739><c> ye</c><00:36:59.940><c> after</c><00:37:00.280><c> their</c><00:37:00.619><c> works.</c>

00:37:01.480 --> 00:37:05.360
So<00:37:01.699><c> even</c><00:37:01.860><c> though</c><00:37:02.059><c> they</c><00:37:02.260><c> taught</c><00:37:02.519><c> the</c><00:37:02.780><c> truth,</c><00:37:02.940><c> they</c><00:37:03.019><c> didn't</c><00:37:03.219><c> even</c><00:37:03.440><c> do</c><00:37:03.639><c> it.</c>

00:37:05.619 --> 00:37:08.900
And<00:37:05.840><c> for</c><00:37:06.679><c> they</c><00:37:07.019><c> say</c><00:37:07.400><c> and</c><00:37:07.659><c> do</c><00:37:07.940><c> not.</c>

00:37:08.940 --> 00:37:12.039
And<00:37:09.139><c> that's</c><00:37:09.400><c> kind</c><00:37:09.599><c> of</c><00:37:09.739><c> the</c><00:37:09.880><c> classic</c><00:37:10.159><c> definition</c><00:37:10.639><c> of</c><00:37:10.840><c> a</c><00:37:10.960><c> hypocrite.</c>

00:37:13.500 --> 00:37:16.400
I<00:37:13.980><c> teach</c><00:37:14.300><c> you</c><00:37:14.519><c> something,</c><00:37:14.980><c> and</c><00:37:15.260><c> then</c><00:37:15.460><c> I</c><00:37:15.699><c> don't</c><00:37:15.900><c> do</c><00:37:16.079><c> it.</c>

00:37:16.639 --> 00:37:19.400
I<00:37:16.880><c> tell</c><00:37:17.019><c> you,</c><00:37:17.260><c> you</c><00:37:17.420><c> better</c><00:37:17.659><c> do</c><00:37:17.900><c> this,</c><00:37:18.260><c> and</c><00:37:18.420><c> I</c><00:37:18.619><c> don't</c><00:37:18.820><c> do</c><00:37:19.000><c> it.</c>

00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:22.159
And<00:37:19.760><c> so</c><00:37:20.079><c> that's</c><00:37:20.519><c> the</c><00:37:20.659><c> classic</c><00:37:20.980><c> definition</c><00:37:21.480><c> of</c><00:37:21.639><c> a</c><00:37:21.760><c> hypocrite.</c>

00:37:22.340 --> 00:37:27.039
It's<00:37:22.639><c> somebody</c><00:37:23.019><c> who</c><00:37:23.840><c> pretends</c><00:37:24.659><c> to</c><00:37:24.940><c> do</c><00:37:25.239><c> good,</c><00:37:25.719><c> but</c><00:37:25.900><c> doesn't</c><00:37:26.199><c> do</c><00:37:26.440><c> it.</c>

00:37:27.300 --> 00:37:30.500
In<00:37:27.400><c> fact,</c><00:37:27.800><c> I</c><00:37:27.900><c> guess</c><00:37:28.219><c> the</c><00:37:28.400><c> word</c><00:37:28.920><c> pretender</c><00:37:29.800><c> or</c><00:37:30.059><c> pretense</c>

00:37:30.500 --> 00:37:32.320
is<00:37:30.760><c> probably</c><00:37:31.019><c> a</c><00:37:31.079><c> good</c><00:37:31.300><c> description.</c>

00:37:32.420 --> 00:37:37.059
Plus,<00:37:33.320><c> they</c><00:37:33.599><c> bind</c><00:37:33.880><c> heavy</c><00:37:34.300><c> burdens,</c><00:37:36.019><c> grievous</c><00:37:36.440><c> to</c><00:37:36.659><c> be</c><00:37:36.900><c> born.</c>

00:37:37.119 --> 00:37:39.599
So<00:37:37.360><c> they</c><00:37:37.739><c> laid</c><00:37:37.880><c> all</c><00:37:38.340><c> these</c><00:37:38.619><c> traditions</c><00:37:39.099><c> on</c><00:37:39.340><c> people.</c>

00:37:39.699 --> 00:37:42.260
There's<00:37:39.860><c> so</c><00:37:40.179><c> many</c><00:37:40.420><c> different</c><00:37:40.699><c> things</c><00:37:41.400><c> that</c><00:37:41.940><c> they're</c>

00:37:42.260 --> 00:37:45.699
supposed<00:37:42.619><c> to</c><00:37:42.880><c> do</c><00:37:43.579><c> that</c><00:37:44.159><c> have</c><00:37:44.780><c> absolutely</c><00:37:45.320><c> nothing</c>

00:37:45.699 --> 00:37:48.059
to<00:37:45.980><c> do</c><00:37:46.460><c> with</c><00:37:46.840><c> salvation.</c>

00:37:48.239 --> 00:37:54.380
And<00:37:48.639><c> this</c><00:37:50.320><c> is</c><00:37:50.940><c> probably</c><00:37:51.460><c> one</c><00:37:51.760><c> of</c><00:37:51.860><c> the</c><00:37:52.159><c> worst,</c><00:37:52.460><c> most</c><00:37:52.860><c> grievous</c><00:37:53.519><c> things</c>

00:37:54.380 --> 00:37:57.699
that<00:37:55.179><c> religion</c><00:37:55.559><c> can</c><00:37:55.820><c> put</c><00:37:55.960><c> upon</c><00:37:56.300><c> a</c><00:37:56.840><c> person,</c>

00:37:58.380 --> 00:38:00.920
is<00:37:58.500><c> traditions</c><00:37:58.980><c> which</c><00:37:59.300><c> have</c><00:37:59.460><c> no</c><00:37:59.760><c> meaning.</c>

00:38:02.780 --> 00:38:04.460
What's<00:38:03.039><c> a</c><00:38:03.159><c> phylactery?</c>

00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:11.380
And<00:38:08.400><c> the</c><00:38:08.679><c> borders</c><00:38:08.920><c> of</c><00:38:09.780><c> their</c><00:38:10.519><c> garments.</c>

00:38:11.440 --> 00:38:14.840
The<00:38:11.780><c> messages</c><00:38:12.019><c> of</c><00:38:12.320><c> scripture</c><00:38:13.239><c> enclosed</c><00:38:13.960><c> in</c><00:38:14.079><c> a</c><00:38:14.280><c> small</c><00:38:14.579><c> case</c>

00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:18.059

00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:20.420
You<00:38:18.239><c> have</c><00:38:18.940><c> a</c><00:38:19.099><c> note</c><00:38:19.239><c> in</c><00:38:19.420><c> your</c><00:38:19.639><c> Bible.</c>

00:38:21.280 --> 00:38:26.059
You<00:38:21.360><c> know,</c><00:38:21.719><c> the</c><00:38:21.800><c> Jews</c><00:38:21.980><c> put</c><00:38:22.179><c> this</c><00:38:22.360><c> over</c><00:38:22.679><c> the</c><00:38:24.280><c> door</c><00:38:24.940><c> of</c><00:38:25.139><c> a</c><00:38:25.159><c> house.</c>

00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:30.639
They<00:38:28.239><c> take</c><00:38:28.519><c> a</c><00:38:28.659><c> little</c><00:38:28.900><c> scroll,</c><00:38:29.320><c> which</c><00:38:29.480><c> has</c><00:38:29.719><c> the</c><00:38:29.900><c> Ten</c><00:38:30.039><c> Commandments,</c>

00:38:30.940 --> 00:38:31.820
and<00:38:31.119><c> it's</c><00:38:31.260><c> a</c><00:38:31.380><c> phylactery.</c>

00:38:32.099 --> 00:38:34.119
And<00:38:32.099><c> they</c><00:38:32.239><c> put</c><00:38:32.420><c> it</c><00:38:32.539><c> in</c><00:38:32.539><c> a</c><00:38:32.719><c> little</c><00:38:33.599><c> box,</c><00:38:33.960><c> and</c><00:38:34.019><c> it</c>

gets<00:38:34.360><c> nailed</c><00:38:35.099><c> to</c><00:38:35.519><c> the</c><00:38:35.719><c> side</c><00:38:35.980><c> of</c><00:38:37.860><c> the</c><00:38:37.960><c> door.</c>

00:38:38.219 --> 00:38:42.340
So<00:38:38.219><c> in</c><00:38:39.539><c> the</c><00:38:40.400><c> Old</c><00:38:40.679><c> Testament,</c><00:38:41.059><c> he</c><00:38:41.219><c> says</c><00:38:41.719><c> that</c><00:38:42.280><c> you</c>

00:38:42.340 --> 00:38:45.559

00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:47.400
So<00:38:45.800><c> the</c><00:38:45.920><c> phylactery,</c><00:38:46.539><c> they</c><00:38:46.679><c> did</c><00:38:46.800><c> the</c><00:38:47.019><c> same</c><00:38:47.199><c> thing.</c>

00:38:47.559 --> 00:38:50.099
They<00:38:47.559><c> put</c><00:38:47.739><c> it,</c><00:38:48.280><c> instead</c><00:38:48.639><c> of</c><00:38:48.780><c> wearing</c><00:38:49.000><c> a</c><00:38:49.260><c> cross</c><00:38:49.460><c> around</c><00:38:49.780><c> their</c><00:38:49.960><c> neck,</c>

00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:52.960
like<00:38:50.280><c> some</c><00:38:50.539><c> of</c><00:38:50.639><c> the</c><00:38:50.739><c> Christians</c><00:38:51.019><c> do,</c><00:38:51.500><c> they</c><00:38:51.659><c> took</c><00:38:51.880><c> a</c><00:38:52.340><c> little</c><00:38:52.599><c> case,</c>

00:38:53.019 --> 00:38:55.360
and<00:38:53.119><c> they</c><00:38:53.199><c> had</c><00:38:53.300><c> a</c><00:38:53.420><c> little</c><00:38:53.840><c> miniature</c><00:38:54.179><c> scroll</c><00:38:54.480><c> of</c><00:38:54.659><c> the</c><00:38:54.820><c> Ten</c><00:38:54.940><c> Commandments</c>

00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:56.460
that's<00:38:55.619><c> rolled</c><00:38:55.800><c> into</c><00:38:56.039><c> it.</c>

00:38:56.480 --> 00:38:59.000
And<00:38:56.679><c> it's</c><00:38:57.320><c> worn</c><00:38:57.480><c> around</c><00:38:57.760><c> the</c><00:38:57.920><c> neck,</c><00:38:58.300><c> just</c>

00:38:59.460 --> 00:39:01.820

00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:02.119
Yeah?

00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:04.019
I<00:39:02.300><c> thought</c><00:39:02.300><c> they</c><00:39:02.539><c> put</c><00:39:02.900><c> it</c><00:39:02.960><c> on</c><00:39:03.199><c> their</c><00:39:03.380><c> head.</c>

00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:07.440
They<00:39:04.519><c> wore</c><00:39:04.880><c> it,</c><00:39:04.960><c> yeah,</c><00:39:05.260><c> they</c><00:39:05.340><c> wore</c><00:39:05.559><c> it</c><00:39:05.719><c> also</c><00:39:06.039><c> in</c><00:39:06.900><c> a</c><00:39:07.059><c> hat</c>

00:39:07.440 --> 00:39:10.260
that<00:39:07.780><c> had</c><00:39:07.960><c> this</c><00:39:08.760><c> thing</c><00:39:09.079><c> on</c><00:39:09.320><c> it.</c>

00:39:10.539 --> 00:39:12.820
So<00:39:10.539><c> bracelets</c><00:39:11.920><c> are</c><00:39:12.099><c> made</c><00:39:12.320><c> out</c><00:39:12.500><c> of</c><00:39:12.599><c> it.</c>

00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:15.920
I've<00:39:13.260><c> seen</c><00:39:13.420><c> this,</c><00:39:13.679><c> you</c><00:39:13.920><c> know,</c><00:39:13.920><c> where</c><00:39:14.079><c> they</c><00:39:15.079><c> rake</c><00:39:15.280><c> the</c><00:39:15.559><c> scroll</c><00:39:15.719><c> up,</c>

00:39:16.059 --> 00:39:17.119
and<00:39:16.079><c> they</c><00:39:16.219><c> wear</c><00:39:16.320><c> it</c><00:39:16.500><c> around</c><00:39:16.659><c> in</c><00:39:16.840><c> their</c><00:39:16.960><c> bracelets.</c>

00:39:17.159 --> 00:39:19.900
So<00:39:17.340><c> they</c><00:39:17.500><c> carried</c><00:39:17.780><c> the</c><00:39:17.920><c> Word</c><00:39:18.079><c> of</c><00:39:18.139><c> God</c><00:39:18.360><c> around</c><00:39:18.639><c> with</c><00:39:18.800><c> them</c><00:39:18.940><c> everywhere.</c>

00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:22.280
But<00:39:20.559><c> he</c><00:39:20.719><c> says,</c><00:39:20.960><c> you</c><00:39:20.960><c> like</c><00:39:21.780><c> to</c><00:39:21.980><c> do</c><00:39:22.139><c> this.</c>

00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:25.639
You<00:39:22.440><c> carry</c><00:39:22.699><c> the</c><00:39:22.860><c> Word</c><00:39:23.420><c> of</c><00:39:23.800><c> God</c><00:39:24.039><c> around</c><00:39:24.300><c> with</c><00:39:24.519><c> you</c><00:39:24.760><c> all</c><00:39:25.139><c> the</c><00:39:25.340><c> time,</c>

00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:27.920
but<00:39:26.219><c> you</c><00:39:26.380><c> don't</c><00:39:26.559><c> do</c><00:39:26.780><c> it</c><00:39:27.000><c> anyway.</c>

00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:32.519
And<00:39:28.599><c> they</c><00:39:29.039><c> love</c><00:39:29.280><c> the</c><00:39:29.539><c> best</c><00:39:29.780><c> seats</c><00:39:30.380><c> in</c><00:39:31.320><c> the</c><00:39:31.480><c> synagogues</c><00:39:32.000><c> of</c><00:39:32.219><c> feasts,</c>

00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:34.500

00:42:15.860 --> 00:42:16.800
OK.

00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:19.159
That's<00:42:18.199><c> a</c><00:42:18.300><c> long</c><00:42:18.500><c> one.</c>

00:42:19.719 --> 00:42:21.300
That's<00:42:20.159><c> not</c><00:42:20.340><c> that</c><00:42:20.559><c> long.</c>

00:42:21.940 --> 00:42:22.619
It's<00:42:22.380><c> tricky.</c>

00:42:22.619 --> 00:42:24.099
That's<00:42:22.800><c> the</c><00:42:22.900><c> whole</c><00:42:23.159><c> page</c><00:42:23.460><c> in</c><00:42:23.559><c> there.</c>

00:42:24.159 --> 00:42:24.920
Any<00:42:24.599><c> others?</c>

Any<00:42:27.659><c> others?</c>

00:42:29.440 --> 00:42:30.219
OK.

00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:32.019
Think<00:42:30.940><c> about</c><00:42:31.340><c> it</c><00:42:31.619><c> through</c><00:42:31.780><c> tomorrow.</c>

00:42:32.059 --> 00:42:32.960

00:42:33.039 --> 00:42:33.920
And<00:42:33.119><c> then</c><00:42:33.219><c> the</c><00:42:33.260><c> rest</c><00:42:33.460><c> of</c><00:42:33.619><c> the</c><00:42:33.659><c> week,</c><00:42:33.880><c> I'm</c>

00:42:35.239 --> 00:42:35.960
So<00:42:35.420><c> give</c><00:42:35.539><c> a</c><00:42:35.760><c> chance.</c>

00:42:36.099 --> 00:42:38.500
We<00:42:36.099><c> can</c><00:42:36.519><c> sort</c><00:42:36.719><c> of</c><00:42:36.840><c> use</c><00:42:36.920><c> your</c><00:42:37.159><c> chance</c><00:42:37.360><c> to</c><00:42:37.599><c> decide</c>

00:42:38.500 --> 00:42:40.420
what<00:42:38.699><c> you</c><00:42:38.940><c> want</c><00:42:39.039><c> in</c><00:42:39.219><c> your</c><00:42:39.460><c> class.</c>

00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:40.760
All<00:42:40.659><c> right.</c>

00:42:40.760 --> 00:42:46.059
I<00:42:40.760><c> want</c><00:42:41.139><c> to</c><00:42:41.980><c> note</c><00:42:43.019><c> that</c><00:42:44.019><c> the</c><00:42:44.380><c> kingdom</c><00:42:44.599><c> of</c><00:42:44.880><c> heaven</c><00:42:45.139><c> is</c><00:42:45.460><c> like</c><00:42:45.619><c> in</c><00:42:45.860><c> two.</c>

00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:47.559
What<00:42:46.719><c> chapter?</c>

00:42:47.860 --> 00:42:48.760
13.

00:42:49.300 --> 00:42:51.139
13<00:42:49.699><c> of</c><00:42:50.099><c> Matthew</c><00:42:50.699><c> 13.</c>

00:42:51.199 --> 00:42:53.820
This<00:42:51.440><c> one,</c><00:42:51.659><c> the</c><00:42:51.800><c> one</c><00:42:51.880><c> we</c><00:42:52.039><c> just</c><00:42:52.400><c> looked</c><00:42:52.599><c> a</c><00:42:52.760><c> little</c><00:42:52.940><c> bit</c><00:42:53.099><c> at.</c>

00:42:54.960 --> 00:42:55.940
OK.

00:42:56.920 --> 00:42:57.460
Think<00:42:57.139><c> about</c><00:42:57.360><c> it.</c>

00:42:57.699 --> 00:42:59.440
We<00:42:58.079><c> have</c><00:42:58.519><c> five</c><00:42:58.880><c> days,</c><00:42:59.199><c> right?</c>

00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:00.739
Five<00:42:59.659><c> days?</c>

00:43:00.860 --> 00:43:01.760
Five<00:43:01.019><c> days.</c>

00:43:02.380 --> 00:43:04.219
Well,<00:43:02.940><c> today's</c><00:43:03.340><c> gone.</c>

00:43:05.619 --> 00:43:06.880
Can't<00:43:06.099><c> do</c><00:43:06.239><c> this</c><00:43:06.420><c> one</c><00:43:06.559><c> over.</c>

00:43:07.199 --> 00:43:10.519
So<00:43:07.440><c> think</c><00:43:07.679><c> about</c><00:43:07.820><c> it,</c><00:43:08.000><c> because</c><00:43:08.039><c> it's</c><00:43:08.340><c> already</c><00:43:08.619><c> 9</c><00:43:09.019><c>.46.</c>

00:43:10.820 --> 00:43:12.820
So<00:43:11.099><c> think</c><00:43:11.340><c> about</c><00:43:11.559><c> it,</c><00:43:11.780><c> and</c><00:43:11.900><c> give</c><00:43:12.019><c> me</c><00:43:12.179><c> a</c><00:43:12.320><c> couple</c><00:43:12.400><c> more</c><00:43:12.579><c> tomorrow.</c>

00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:13.880
We<00:43:13.219><c> will</c><00:43:13.440><c> do</c><00:43:13.639><c> those.</c>

00:43:13.980 --> 00:43:14.420
We'll<00:43:14.059><c> do</c><00:43:14.219><c> them.</c>

00:43:14.800 --> 00:43:16.019
And<00:43:14.960><c> you</c><00:43:15.039><c> can</c><00:43:15.179><c> have</c><00:43:15.320><c> pretty</c><00:43:15.519><c> much</c><00:43:15.679><c> what</c><00:43:15.820><c> you</c><00:43:15.940><c> have.</c>

00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:18.679
I<00:43:16.400><c> have</c><00:43:17.139><c> notes</c><00:43:17.440><c> on</c><00:43:17.619><c> every</c><00:43:17.940><c> parable</c><00:43:18.199><c> ever</c><00:43:18.519><c> written.</c>

00:43:19.159 --> 00:43:21.639
Some<00:43:19.400><c> of</c><00:43:19.579><c> them,</c><00:43:19.940><c> the</c><00:43:20.099><c> notes</c><00:43:20.280><c> are</c><00:43:20.440><c> even</c><00:43:20.719><c> decent.</c>

00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:23.159
