like<00:16:41.899><c> the</c><00:16:42.700><c> mulberry</c><00:16:43.120><c> fig,</c><00:16:43.580><c> they</c><00:16:43.580><c> called</c><00:16:43.799><c> it.</c>

00:16:44.340 --> 00:16:45.919
It<00:16:44.419><c> was</c><00:16:44.700><c> a</c><00:16:44.840><c> sort</c><00:16:44.940><c> of</c><00:16:45.419><c> a</c><00:16:45.799><c> tree</c>

00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.080
they<00:16:46.120><c> reckon</c><00:16:46.340><c> grew</c><00:16:46.659><c> to</c><00:16:46.919><c> a</c><00:16:46.940><c> great</c><00:16:47.139><c> height.</c>

00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:50.820
It<00:16:48.480><c> had</c><00:16:49.100><c> branches</c><00:16:49.639><c> growing</c><00:16:50.039><c> right</c><00:16:50.340><c> down,</c>

00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:52.759
nearly<00:16:51.080><c> to</c><00:16:51.259><c> the</c><00:16:51.440><c> ground,</c><00:16:51.860><c> right</c><00:16:52.139><c> out</c><00:16:52.399><c> low.</c>

00:16:53.179 --> 00:16:56.379
So<00:16:53.360><c> it</c><00:16:53.480><c> gave</c><00:16:53.879><c> great</c><00:16:54.360><c> coverage</c><00:16:54.759><c> and</c><00:16:55.100><c> a</c><00:16:55.360><c> very</c><00:16:55.799><c> leafy</c><00:16:56.220><c> tree.</c>

00:16:56.580 --> 00:16:58.320
So<00:16:56.720><c> perhaps</c><00:16:57.299><c> Zacchaeus</c><00:16:58.080><c> thought</c>

00:16:58.320 --> 00:16:59.600
this<00:16:58.519><c> was</c><00:16:58.700><c> the</c><00:16:58.860><c> great</c><00:16:59.039><c> tree</c><00:16:59.220><c> to</c><00:16:59.399><c> be</c><00:16:59.480><c> in</c>

00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:02.019
because<00:16:59.879><c> easy</c><00:17:00.179><c> to</c><00:17:00.460><c> climb,</c><00:17:00.980><c> the</c><00:17:01.120><c> branches</c><00:17:01.440><c> were</c><00:17:01.720><c> low,</c>

00:17:02.019 --> 00:17:04.420
it<00:17:02.379><c> was</c><00:17:02.600><c> a</c><00:17:02.720><c> big</c><00:17:02.980><c> enough</c><00:17:03.240><c> tree</c><00:17:03.539><c> for</c><00:17:03.840><c> him</c><00:17:03.980><c> to</c><00:17:04.079><c> get</c><00:17:04.259><c> up</c>

00:17:04.420 --> 00:17:05.640
and<00:17:04.559><c> the</c><00:17:04.680><c> branches</c><00:17:04.960><c> were</c><00:17:05.180><c> low</c><00:17:05.400><c> enough</c>

00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:06.839
and<00:17:06.119><c> it</c><00:17:06.200><c> had</c><00:17:06.299><c> a</c><00:17:06.400><c> lot</c><00:17:06.539><c> of</c><00:17:06.680><c> leaves</c>

00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:09.539
and<00:17:07.000><c> perhaps</c><00:17:07.339><c> he</c><00:17:07.599><c> thought</c><00:17:08.000><c> that</c><00:17:08.440><c> nobody</c><00:17:08.759><c> would</c><00:17:09.119><c> see</c><00:17:09.339><c> him.</c>

00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:10.700
Perhaps<00:17:09.759><c> he</c><00:17:09.920><c> thought</c><00:17:10.140><c> that.</c>

00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:12.400
I<00:17:11.220><c> don't</c><00:17:11.460><c> know.</c>

00:17:12.420 --> 00:17:13.940
But<00:17:12.539><c> Jesus</c><00:17:12.819><c> saw</c><00:17:13.079><c> him.</c>

00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:17.099
And<00:17:14.299><c> you</c><00:17:14.539><c> see,</c><00:17:15.920><c> when</c><00:17:16.079><c> he</c><00:17:16.240><c> saw</c><00:17:16.500><c> him,</c>

00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:20.299
brothers<00:17:17.420><c> and</c><00:17:17.539><c> sisters,</c><00:17:18.059><c> he</c><00:17:19.079><c> looked</c><00:17:19.339><c> up</c><00:17:19.559><c> to</c><00:17:19.720><c> see</c><00:17:19.900><c> him.</c>

00:17:20.700 --> 00:17:22.519
So<00:17:20.839><c> the</c><00:17:20.960><c> Lord</c><00:17:21.319><c> didn't</c><00:17:21.759><c> catch</c><00:17:22.000><c> sight</c><00:17:22.200><c> of</c><00:17:22.319><c> him</c>

00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:24.440
out<00:17:22.660><c> the</c><00:17:22.759><c> corner</c><00:17:22.960><c> of</c><00:17:23.079><c> his</c><00:17:23.279><c> eye</c><00:17:23.539><c> and</c><00:17:23.660><c> then</c><00:17:23.839><c> look</c><00:17:24.019><c> up.</c>

00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:25.619
He<00:17:24.799><c> knew</c><00:17:25.000><c> he</c><00:17:25.180><c> was</c><00:17:25.400><c> there.</c>

00:17:25.660 --> 00:17:27.480
He<00:17:25.819><c> looked</c><00:17:26.079><c> up</c><00:17:26.380><c> and</c><00:17:26.519><c> saw</c><00:17:26.700><c> him.</c>

00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:28.839
See<00:17:27.859><c> how</c><00:17:28.000><c> it's</c><00:17:28.119><c> put?</c>

00:17:28.859 --> 00:17:30.259
He<00:17:28.980><c> knew</c><00:17:29.119><c> exactly</c><00:17:29.579><c> where</c><00:17:29.740><c> he</c><00:17:29.900><c> was.</c>

00:17:30.259 --> 00:17:32.000
That's<00:17:30.940><c> the</c><00:17:31.140><c> point.</c>

00:17:32.019 --> 00:17:33.259
Now<00:17:32.099><c> here's</c><00:17:32.299><c> an</c><00:17:32.500><c> interesting</c><00:17:32.859><c> thing.</c>

00:17:33.460 --> 00:17:35.160
A<00:17:33.519><c> couple</c><00:17:33.680><c> of</c><00:17:33.880><c> days</c><00:17:34.140><c> on</c><00:17:34.440><c> from</c><00:17:34.640><c> here,</c>

00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:37.980
into<00:17:35.819><c> the</c><00:17:35.940><c> last</c><00:17:36.259><c> week</c><00:17:36.500><c> now</c><00:17:36.779><c> of</c><00:17:36.859><c> the</c><00:17:36.980><c> Lord's</c><00:17:37.319><c> life,</c>

00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:39.660
remember<00:17:38.480><c> when</c><00:17:38.700><c> he</c><00:17:38.839><c> rode</c><00:17:39.039><c> into</c><00:17:39.240><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:17:39.900 --> 00:17:42.180
he<00:17:40.079><c> came</c><00:17:40.319><c> between</c><00:17:40.720><c> two</c><00:17:40.960><c> little</c><00:17:41.160><c> towns,</c>

00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:43.660
one<00:17:42.680><c> called</c><00:17:43.019><c> Bethany</c>

00:17:43.660 --> 00:17:45.759
and<00:17:44.160><c> the</c><00:17:44.299><c> other</c><00:17:44.460><c> one</c><00:17:44.680><c> called</c><00:17:44.980><c> Bethphage,</c>

00:17:46.140 --> 00:17:48.740
not<00:17:46.299><c> very</c><00:17:46.660><c> far</c><00:17:46.940><c> around</c><00:17:47.299><c> the</c><00:17:47.519><c> Brow</c><00:17:47.720><c> of</c><00:17:47.880><c> Olivet</c><00:17:48.119><c> actually,</c>

00:17:48.900 --> 00:17:50.839
little<00:17:49.299><c> close</c><00:17:49.579><c> proximity,</c><00:17:50.039><c> little</c><00:17:50.480><c> villages,</c>

00:17:50.980 --> 00:17:53.039
almost<00:17:51.180><c> like</c><00:17:51.539><c> suburbs</c><00:17:51.859><c> of</c><00:17:52.079><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:55.920
They<00:17:53.359><c> both</c><00:17:53.599><c> have</c><00:17:53.900><c> Beth</c><00:17:54.180><c> in</c><00:17:54.339><c> their</c><00:17:54.519><c> name,</c><00:17:54.779><c> house.</c>

00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:59.400
Bethphage<00:17:57.319><c> means</c><00:17:57.839><c> the</c><00:17:58.099><c> house</c><00:17:58.299><c> of</c><00:17:58.660><c> figs</c>

00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:01.660
and<00:17:59.740><c> Bethany</c><00:18:00.059><c> means</c><00:18:00.319><c> the</c><00:18:00.519><c> house</c><00:18:00.759><c> of</c><00:18:01.460><c> dates.</c>

00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:03.019
That's<00:18:01.980><c> interesting,</c><00:18:02.460><c> isn't</c><00:18:02.599><c> it?</c>

00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:04.319
And<00:18:03.660><c> we'll</c><00:18:03.920><c> see.</c>

00:18:04.700 --> 00:18:05.920
That's<00:18:05.059><c> very</c><00:18:05.460><c> interesting.</c>

00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:08.799
We'll<00:18:06.160><c> come</c><00:18:06.539><c> to</c><00:18:07.319><c> a</c><00:18:07.400><c> few</c><00:18:07.619><c> studies</c><00:18:07.940><c> on.</c>

00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:10.680
But<00:18:09.519><c> you</c><00:18:09.640><c> know,</c><00:18:09.779><c> when</c><00:18:09.980><c> it</c><00:18:10.200><c> came</c><00:18:10.480><c> there,</c>

00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:11.339
brothers<00:18:10.900><c> and</c><00:18:11.140><c> sisters,</c>

00:18:11.420 --> 00:18:14.059
to<00:18:11.519><c> those</c><00:18:11.720><c> two</c><00:18:12.119><c> houses</c><00:18:12.720><c> of</c><00:18:13.339><c> figs</c><00:18:13.640><c> and</c><00:18:13.859><c> dates,</c>

00:18:14.420 --> 00:18:16.480
figs<00:18:14.640><c> were</c><00:18:14.900><c> preeminently</c><00:18:15.559><c> a</c><00:18:15.759><c> symbol</c><00:18:15.940><c> of</c><00:18:16.039><c> Israel.</c>

00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:18.039
Behold<00:18:16.900><c> the</c><00:18:17.099><c> fig</c><00:18:17.240><c> tree.</c>

00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:20.059
Our<00:18:18.359><c> brother</c><00:18:18.579><c> Chairman</c><00:18:18.900><c> used</c><00:18:19.160><c> that</c><00:18:19.380><c> expression</c><00:18:19.720><c> tonight.</c>

00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:22.420
And<00:18:20.960><c> of</c><00:18:21.119><c> course</c><00:18:21.259><c> the</c><00:18:21.519><c> dates</c><00:18:21.680><c> we've</c><00:18:21.920><c> already</c><00:18:22.220><c> seen</c>

00:18:22.420 --> 00:18:24.859
from<00:18:22.599><c> the</c><00:18:22.819><c> palm</c><00:18:23.039><c> tree</c><00:18:23.319><c> was</c><00:18:23.660><c> a</c><00:18:23.819><c> symbol</c><00:18:23.960><c> of</c><00:18:24.140><c> the</c><00:18:24.299><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:26.880
Well,<00:18:25.359><c> Jesus</c><00:18:25.680><c> went</c><00:18:25.940><c> looking</c><00:18:26.240><c> for</c><00:18:26.680><c> fruit.</c>

00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:29.980
He<00:18:27.059><c> went</c><00:18:27.319><c> looking</c><00:18:28.259><c> at</c><00:18:28.859><c> a</c><00:18:28.940><c> Jewish</c><00:18:29.400><c> fig</c><00:18:29.680><c> tree</c>

00:18:29.980 --> 00:18:31.640
and<00:18:30.519><c> he</c><00:18:30.579><c> only</c><00:18:30.819><c> saw</c><00:18:31.039><c> leaves.</c>

00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:33.039
That's<00:18:32.079><c> a</c><00:18:32.140><c> couple</c><00:18:32.299><c> of</c><00:18:32.420><c> days</c><00:18:32.660><c> hence.</c>

00:18:33.359 --> 00:18:34.900
But<00:18:33.539><c> here</c><00:18:33.960><c> in</c><00:18:34.299><c> Jericho,</c>

00:18:35.380 --> 00:18:36.819
the<00:18:35.519><c> city</c><00:18:35.880><c> of</c><00:18:36.079><c> the</c><00:18:36.259><c> date</c><00:18:36.480><c> palm,</c>

00:18:37.019 --> 00:18:39.019
he<00:18:37.119><c> looked</c><00:18:37.400><c> up</c><00:18:37.740><c> and</c><00:18:37.880><c> he</c><00:18:38.099><c> saw</c><00:18:38.500><c> fruit,</c>

00:18:39.019 --> 00:18:39.819
brothers<00:18:39.460><c> and</c><00:18:39.460><c> sisters,</c>

00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:41.720
in<00:18:40.180><c> a</c><00:18:40.299><c> fig</c><00:18:40.500><c> tree</c><00:18:40.819><c> in</c><00:18:41.200><c> Jericho.</c>

00:18:42.019 --> 00:18:43.359

00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:21.500

00:19:21.779 --> 00:19:22.819
And<00:19:21.900><c> Jesus</c><00:19:22.240><c> comes</c><00:19:22.539><c> here.</c>

00:19:22.980 --> 00:19:24.720
And<00:19:23.119><c> you</c><00:19:23.220><c> can</c><00:19:23.380><c> imagine</c><00:19:23.759><c> the</c><00:19:24.079><c> Lord</c><00:19:24.299><c> stopping</c>

00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:25.819

00:19:25.819 --> 00:19:26.279
looking<00:19:26.079><c> out.</c>

00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:27.599
Of<00:19:26.519><c> course</c><00:19:26.519><c> he</c><00:19:26.660><c> drew</c><00:19:26.819><c> everyone's</c><00:19:27.259><c> attention</c>

00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:28.619
to<00:19:27.799><c> Zacchaeus,</c><00:19:28.140><c> didn't</c><00:19:28.279><c> he?</c>

00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:30.500
So<00:19:28.940><c> whether</c><00:19:29.099><c> Zacchaeus</c><00:19:29.519><c> may</c><00:19:29.740><c> have</c><00:19:29.940><c> thought</c><00:19:30.119><c> perhaps</c>

00:19:30.500 --> 00:19:32.619
that<00:19:30.680><c> the</c><00:19:30.859><c> leaves</c><00:19:31.119><c> would</c><00:19:31.640><c> conceal</c><00:19:32.000><c> him,</c>

00:19:32.900 --> 00:19:34.579
well,<00:19:33.519><c> if</c><00:19:33.900><c> he</c><00:19:34.019><c> thought</c><00:19:34.200><c> that,</c>

00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:36.019
it's<00:19:34.799><c> too</c><00:19:35.000><c> late</c><00:19:35.180><c> now,</c><00:19:35.539><c> isn't</c><00:19:35.740><c> it?</c>

00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:37.920
Because<00:19:36.420><c> he's</c><00:19:36.759><c> riveted</c><00:19:36.980><c> in</c><00:19:37.160><c> the</c><00:19:37.339><c> gaze</c><00:19:37.539><c> of</c><00:19:37.720><c> the</c><00:19:37.819><c> Lord</c>

00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:39.279
and<00:19:38.019><c> they</c><00:19:38.140><c> were</c><00:19:38.299><c> like</c><00:19:38.740><c> searchlights</c>

00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:41.059
picking<00:19:39.579><c> him</c><00:19:39.819><c> out</c><00:19:39.960><c> for</c><00:19:40.440><c> everybody</c>

00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:44.559
We<00:19:42.680><c> don't</c><00:19:42.859><c> have</c><00:19:42.980><c> any</c><00:19:43.160><c> record</c><00:19:43.539><c> of</c><00:19:43.660><c> how</c><00:19:43.779><c> the</c><00:19:44.019><c> crowd</c><00:19:44.180><c> reacted</c>

00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:45.380
and<00:19:44.720><c> perhaps</c><00:19:44.920><c> they</c><00:19:45.160><c> didn't</c>

00:19:45.380 --> 00:19:47.740
because<00:19:45.980><c> perhaps</c><00:19:46.400><c> the</c><00:19:46.619><c> Lord</c><00:19:46.759><c> got</c><00:19:47.039><c> in</c><00:19:47.339><c> first.</c>

00:19:48.220 --> 00:19:50.059
But<00:19:48.339><c> when</c><00:19:48.400><c> he</c><00:19:48.480><c> got</c><00:19:48.680><c> in</c><00:19:48.940><c> verse</c><00:19:49.220><c> five,</c><00:19:49.759><c> we</c><00:19:49.880><c> read,</c>

00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:52.579
he<00:19:51.559><c> looked</c><00:19:51.799><c> up</c><00:19:52.019><c> and</c><00:19:52.180><c> saw</c><00:19:52.400><c> him</c>

00:19:52.579 --> 00:19:54.279
and<00:19:52.759><c> said</c><00:19:52.880><c> unto</c><00:19:53.140><c> him,</c>

00:19:54.859 --> 00:19:57.519

00:20:08.480 --> 00:20:10.480

00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:13.980
If<00:20:12.420><c> Zacchaeus</c><00:20:12.880><c> was</c><00:20:13.079><c> determined</c><00:20:13.539><c> to</c><00:20:13.799><c> know</c>

And<00:21:34.500><c> then</c><00:21:34.660><c> even</c><00:21:34.880><c> came</c><00:21:35.079><c> an</c><00:21:35.240><c> even</c><00:21:35.400><c> more</c><00:21:35.579><c> incredible</c><00:21:36.019><c> thing.</c>

00:21:36.779 --> 00:21:38.880
He<00:21:36.859><c> says,</c><00:21:37.079><c> you</c><00:21:37.200><c> come</c><00:21:37.440><c> down</c><00:21:37.680><c> quickly,</c><00:21:38.079><c> Zacchaeus,</c><00:21:38.619><c> he</c><00:21:38.680><c> says,</c>

00:21:38.980 --> 00:21:43.059
in<00:21:39.099><c> verse</c><00:21:39.299><c> five,</c><00:21:40.240><c> for</c><00:21:40.460><c> today</c><00:21:40.859><c> I</c><00:21:41.200><c> must</c><00:21:41.700><c> abide</c><00:21:42.299><c> in</c><00:21:42.500><c> your</c><00:21:42.700><c> house.</c>

I<00:21:43.539><c> must,</c><00:21:44.359><c> I</c><00:21:44.799><c> must.</c>

00:21:45.299 --> 00:21:48.839
And<00:21:46.039><c> that's</c><00:21:46.279><c> what</c><00:21:46.500><c> the</c><00:21:46.759><c> Greek</c><00:21:46.940><c> means,</c><00:21:47.660><c> brothers</c><00:21:47.819><c> and</c><00:21:48.000><c> sisters.</c>

00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:49.920
It's<00:21:49.079><c> well</c><00:21:49.380><c> translated.</c>

00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:50.960
It<00:21:50.180><c> means</c><00:21:50.480><c> that.</c>

00:21:51.299 --> 00:21:53.700
It<00:21:51.440><c> is</c><00:21:51.799><c> imperative</c><00:21:52.440><c> I</c><00:21:52.759><c> do</c><00:21:52.920><c> that,</c><00:21:53.460><c> Zacchaeus.</c>

00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:55.859
I've<00:21:54.240><c> got</c><00:21:54.420><c> to</c><00:21:54.619><c> stop</c><00:21:54.839><c> with</c><00:21:55.119><c> you.</c>

00:21:56.000 --> 00:21:58.039
Now<00:21:56.220><c> why</c><00:21:56.380><c> would</c><00:21:56.539><c> that</c><00:21:56.819><c> be</c><00:21:57.160><c> said</c><00:21:57.319><c> in</c><00:21:57.559><c> such</c><00:21:57.759><c> a</c><00:21:57.900><c> way,</c>

00:21:59.240 --> 00:22:01.380
Well,<00:21:59.559><c> I</c><00:21:59.859><c> believe</c><00:22:00.019><c> for</c><00:22:00.160><c> two</c><00:22:00.400><c> reasons.</c>

00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:03.440
It's<00:22:01.680><c> obvious</c><00:22:01.980><c> this</c><00:22:02.259><c> man</c><00:22:02.460><c> is</c><00:22:02.619><c> in</c><00:22:02.779><c> God's</c><00:22:03.119><c> purpose.</c>

00:22:03.740 --> 00:22:05.599
It's<00:22:03.980><c> obvious</c><00:22:04.180><c> he's</c><00:22:04.440><c> going</c><00:22:04.539><c> to</c><00:22:04.660><c> be</c><00:22:04.900><c> called</c><00:22:05.099><c> to</c><00:22:05.259><c> the</c><00:22:05.440><c> Father.</c>

00:22:05.759 --> 00:22:08.380
No<00:22:06.019><c> man</c><00:22:06.359><c> comes</c><00:22:06.579><c> to</c><00:22:06.779><c> me</c><00:22:07.140><c> except</c><00:22:07.539><c> the</c><00:22:07.819><c> Father</c><00:22:08.140><c> drawing.</c>

00:22:08.500 --> 00:22:11.119
I've<00:22:08.880><c> got</c><00:22:09.119><c> to</c><00:22:09.319><c> be</c><00:22:10.180><c> with</c><00:22:10.380><c> you</c><00:22:10.599><c> today.</c>

00:22:11.539 --> 00:22:13.039
And<00:22:11.680><c> not</c><00:22:11.799><c> only</c><00:22:11.960><c> that,</c><00:22:12.440><c> but</c><00:22:12.559><c> you</c><00:22:12.720><c> listen.</c>

00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:16.859
Among<00:22:13.619><c> other</c><00:22:14.000><c> things</c><00:22:14.740><c> for</c><00:22:14.960><c> which</c><00:22:15.180><c> Jericho</c><00:22:15.599><c> was</c><00:22:15.940><c> known,</c>

00:22:17.019 --> 00:22:20.440
it<00:22:17.019><c> was</c><00:22:17.240><c> the</c><00:22:17.420><c> second</c><00:22:18.220><c> largest</c><00:22:19.400><c> concentration</c>

00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:26.440
Only<00:22:23.779><c> Jerusalem</c><00:22:24.400><c> housed</c><00:22:24.740><c> more</c><00:22:25.119><c> priests</c><00:22:25.420><c> than</c><00:22:25.599><c> Jericho.</c>

00:22:26.579 --> 00:22:27.660
And<00:22:26.720><c> you</c><00:22:26.759><c> can</c><00:22:26.960><c> see</c><00:22:27.079><c> why.</c>

00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:29.839
Because<00:22:28.140><c> they</c><00:22:28.339><c> liked</c><00:22:28.700><c> their</c><00:22:29.019><c> Florida</c><00:22:29.359><c> too.</c>

00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:32.619
Their<00:22:30.559><c> Gold</c><00:22:30.900><c> Coast,</c><00:22:31.319><c> because</c><00:22:31.400><c> that's</c><00:22:31.640><c> the</c><00:22:31.740><c> climate</c><00:22:32.099><c> that</c><00:22:32.380><c> they're</c><00:22:32.579><c> in.</c>

00:22:32.700 --> 00:22:34.500
That's<00:22:33.000><c> the</c><00:22:33.099><c> sort</c><00:22:33.240><c> of</c><00:22:33.400><c> place</c><00:22:33.559><c> it</c><00:22:33.759><c> was.</c>

00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:38.460

00:22:42.119 --> 00:22:45.940
The<00:22:42.900><c> biggest</c><00:22:43.380><c> concentration</c><00:22:44.240><c> of</c><00:22:44.559><c> priests</c><00:22:44.779><c> outside</c><00:22:45.400><c> of</c><00:22:45.619><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:47.779
And<00:22:46.339><c> I've</c><00:22:46.619><c> got</c><00:22:46.720><c> to</c><00:22:46.900><c> stay</c><00:22:47.079><c> with</c><00:22:47.400><c> you.</c>

00:22:47.940 --> 00:22:49.819
I've<00:22:48.299><c> got</c><00:22:48.519><c> to</c><00:22:48.700><c> do</c><00:22:48.960><c> that.</c>

00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:50.900
Imagine<00:22:50.440><c> that.</c>

00:22:51.180 --> 00:22:54.519
Imagine<00:22:51.700><c> the</c><00:22:52.079><c> ripple</c><00:22:52.380><c> through</c><00:22:52.680><c> the</c><00:22:52.920><c> crowd</c><00:22:53.220><c> of</c><00:22:53.819><c> all</c><00:22:54.079><c> the</c><00:22:54.319><c> people</c>

00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:56.619
that<00:22:54.680><c> he</c><00:22:54.900><c> could</c><00:22:55.099><c> have</c><00:22:55.339><c> stopped</c><00:22:55.519><c> with</c><00:22:55.880><c> in</c><00:22:56.180><c> Jericho.</c>

00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:59.039
I've<00:22:57.299><c> got</c><00:22:57.559><c> to</c><00:22:57.799><c> stop</c><00:22:57.960><c> with</c><00:22:58.259><c> you.</c>

00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:02.380
You<00:22:59.299><c> can</c><00:22:59.480><c> just</c><00:22:59.599><c> imagine,</c><00:23:00.119><c> brothers</c><00:23:00.240><c> and</c><00:23:00.480><c> sisters,</c><00:23:01.420><c> what</c><00:23:01.579><c> that</c><00:23:02.119><c> did.</c>

00:23:02.539 --> 00:23:04.700
And<00:23:02.680><c> it</c><00:23:02.799><c> did</c><00:23:03.019><c> this</c><00:23:03.359><c> in</c><00:23:03.680><c> verse</c><00:23:03.940><c> 7.</c>

00:23:05.079 --> 00:23:06.579
It<00:23:05.200><c> did</c><00:23:05.460><c> this.</c>

00:23:06.619 --> 00:23:09.039
And<00:23:06.700><c> when</c><00:23:06.839><c> they</c><00:23:07.079><c> saw</c><00:23:07.319><c> it,</c><00:23:07.859><c> they</c><00:23:08.019><c> all</c><00:23:08.599><c> murmured.</c>

00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:10.480
Now,<00:23:09.940><c> notice</c><00:23:09.960><c> that.</c>

00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:13.640
Not<00:23:10.900><c> just</c><00:23:11.240><c> the</c><00:23:11.480><c> Pharisees,</c><00:23:12.599><c> everybody.</c>

00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:18.140
Zacchaeus<00:23:15.200><c> was</c><00:23:15.680><c> universally</c><00:23:16.759><c> despised.</c>

00:23:18.339 --> 00:23:21.240
Not<00:23:18.559><c> only</c><00:23:18.839><c> by</c><00:23:19.119><c> the</c><00:23:19.359><c> priests,</c><00:23:20.079><c> everybody.</c>

00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:23.059
And<00:23:21.420><c> so</c><00:23:21.539><c> they</c><00:23:21.740><c> murmured</c><00:23:22.079><c> about</c><00:23:22.339><c> it.</c>

00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:24.220
And<00:23:23.319><c> what</c><00:23:23.440><c> was</c><00:23:23.619><c> the</c><00:23:23.779><c> complaint?</c>

00:23:24.579 --> 00:23:27.039
Because<00:23:24.779><c> they</c><00:23:25.000><c> said</c><00:23:25.500><c> that</c><00:23:25.859><c> he</c><00:23:25.920><c> was</c><00:23:26.160><c> gone</c><00:23:26.420><c> to</c><00:23:26.640><c> be</c><00:23:26.839><c> guessed</c>

00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:28.759
with<00:23:27.259><c> a</c><00:23:27.420><c> man</c><00:23:27.579><c> that</c><00:23:27.740><c> is</c><00:23:27.940><c> a</c><00:23:28.099><c> sinner.</c>

00:23:28.859 --> 00:23:31.200
Now,<00:23:29.019><c> you've</c><00:23:29.200><c> got</c><00:23:29.279><c> to</c><00:23:29.420><c> understand</c><00:23:29.980><c> what</c><00:23:30.160><c> that</c><00:23:30.460><c> meant</c><00:23:30.700><c> in</c>

00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:32.619
Jewish<00:23:31.539><c> terminology.</c>

00:23:32.720 --> 00:23:36.599
We<00:23:32.980><c> would</c><00:23:33.220><c> say</c><00:23:33.440><c> that</c><00:23:33.640><c> a</c><00:23:33.859><c> sinner</c><00:23:34.059><c> is</c><00:23:34.339><c> a</c><00:23:34.480><c> person</c><00:23:34.740><c> who</c><00:23:35.000><c> has</c><00:23:35.140><c> sinned,</c><00:23:36.160><c> wouldn't</c><00:23:36.359><c> we?</c>

00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:39.480
But<00:23:36.940><c> we</c><00:23:37.039><c> might</c><00:23:37.299><c> say</c><00:23:37.519><c> tomorrow</c><00:23:38.059><c> they</c><00:23:38.400><c> repented.</c>

00:23:40.079 --> 00:23:42.099
Well,<00:23:40.240><c> perhaps</c><00:23:40.440><c> then</c><00:23:40.700><c> they</c><00:23:40.759><c> might</c><00:23:40.980><c> be</c><00:23:41.160><c> a</c><00:23:41.339><c> saint.</c>

00:23:42.559 --> 00:23:44.660
We<00:23:42.940><c> would</c><00:23:43.500><c> think</c><00:23:43.680><c> that</c><00:23:43.900><c> God</c><00:23:44.039><c> would</c><00:23:44.299><c> forgive</c><00:23:44.480><c> them,</c>

00:23:44.660 --> 00:23:46.339
and<00:23:44.799><c> we</c><00:23:45.000><c> would</c><00:23:45.200><c> certainly</c><00:23:45.460><c> forgive</c><00:23:45.759><c> them.</c>

00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:49.039
And<00:23:46.660><c> if</c><00:23:46.819><c> they</c><00:23:47.519><c> repented</c><00:23:47.980><c> in</c><00:23:48.240><c> the</c><00:23:48.359><c> right</c><00:23:48.539><c> attitude,</c>

00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:50.880
that<00:23:49.740><c> would</c><00:23:49.940><c> change</c><00:23:50.200><c> their</c><00:23:50.460><c> status.</c>

00:23:51.259 --> 00:23:54.460
But<00:23:51.400><c> a</c><00:23:51.640><c> sinner</c><00:23:51.960><c> to</c><00:23:52.279><c> a</c><00:23:52.460><c> Jew</c><00:23:52.779><c> could</c><00:23:53.500><c> never</c><00:23:53.799><c> be</c><00:23:53.980><c> any</c><00:23:54.160><c> different.</c>

00:23:54.960 --> 00:23:59.279
You<00:23:55.099><c> see,</c><00:23:55.380><c> that</c><00:23:55.539><c> term</c><00:23:55.880><c> was</c><00:23:56.160><c> reserved,</c><00:23:56.740><c> brothers</c><00:23:56.859><c> and</c><00:23:57.099><c> sisters,</c><00:23:57.960><c> for</c><00:23:58.160><c> the</c><00:23:58.359><c> hopeless.</c>

00:23:59.460 --> 00:24:02.400
It<00:23:59.680><c> was</c><00:23:59.960><c> reserved</c><00:24:00.339><c> for</c><00:24:00.940><c> the</c><00:24:01.160><c> harlots</c><00:24:01.480><c> and</c><00:24:01.640><c> the</c><00:24:01.880><c> publicans,</c>

00:24:02.500 --> 00:24:04.759
and<00:24:02.799><c> especially</c><00:24:03.519><c> for</c><00:24:03.779><c> the</c><00:24:03.900><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:07.380
So<00:24:04.980><c> if</c><00:24:05.539><c> you</c><00:24:05.740><c> were</c><00:24:05.920><c> called</c><00:24:06.259><c> a</c><00:24:06.519><c> sinner,</c>

00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:10.299
that<00:24:07.519><c> meant</c><00:24:07.779><c> that</c><00:24:07.980><c> you</c><00:24:08.059><c> were</c><00:24:08.259><c> so</c><00:24:08.559><c> bad</c><00:24:09.039><c> that</c><00:24:09.420><c> God</c><00:24:09.660><c> had</c><00:24:09.900><c> put</c><00:24:10.079><c> you</c>

00:24:10.299 --> 00:24:11.640
in<00:24:10.380><c> a</c><00:24:10.660><c> class.</c>

00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:14.180
And<00:24:12.440><c> that</c><00:24:12.619><c> class</c><00:24:12.920><c> was</c><00:24:13.160><c> a</c><00:24:13.259><c> Gentile</c><00:24:13.740><c> class,</c>

00:24:14.460 --> 00:24:18.759
and<00:24:14.559><c> they</c><00:24:14.779><c> got</c><00:24:15.000><c> no</c><00:24:15.539><c> hope</c><00:24:16.119><c> ever</c><00:24:17.099><c> of</c><00:24:17.380><c> the</c><00:24:17.500><c> kingdom</c><00:24:17.759><c> of</c><00:24:17.980><c> God.</c>

00:24:19.240 --> 00:24:20.160
How<00:24:19.480><c> do</c><00:24:19.619><c> we</c><00:24:19.660><c> know</c><00:24:19.839><c> that?</c>

00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:23.099
Well,<00:24:20.539><c> you</c><00:24:20.559><c> know,</c><00:24:20.920><c> in</c><00:24:21.039><c> Galatians</c><00:24:21.500><c> chapter</c><00:24:21.900><c> 2,</c>

00:24:24.180 --> 00:24:28.099
when<00:24:24.660><c> Paul</c><00:24:25.140><c> was</c><00:24:25.619><c> telling</c><00:24:26.019><c> how</c><00:24:26.240><c> he</c><00:24:26.500><c> remonstrated</c><00:24:26.960><c> with</c><00:24:27.279><c> Peter.</c>

00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:30.519
He<00:24:28.759><c> said</c><00:24:28.960><c> to</c><00:24:29.119><c> Peter,</c><00:24:29.299><c> you</c><00:24:29.299><c> know,</c><00:24:29.539><c> Peter,</c><00:24:29.900><c> we're</c><00:24:30.000><c> not</c><00:24:30.140><c> like</c><00:24:30.359><c> in</c>

00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:31.319
a<00:24:30.640><c> sort</c><00:24:30.720><c> of</c><00:24:30.920><c> almost</c>

00:24:31.319 --> 00:24:33.599
ironical,<00:24:32.259><c> even</c><00:24:32.460><c> sarcastic</c><00:24:33.059><c> way,</c><00:24:33.339><c> I</c><00:24:33.339><c> suppose.</c>

00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:36.619
He<00:24:33.759><c> said,</c><00:24:34.519><c> Peter,</c><00:24:34.680><c> we're</c><00:24:34.880><c> not</c><00:24:35.019><c> like</c><00:24:35.279><c> the</c><00:24:35.599><c> sinners</c><00:24:35.880><c> of</c><00:24:36.119><c> the</c><00:24:36.240><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:24:36.700 --> 00:24:38.720
See,<00:24:37.000><c> there's</c><00:24:37.220><c> the</c><00:24:37.359><c> term,</c><00:24:37.740><c> sinners</c><00:24:38.079><c> of</c><00:24:38.299><c> the</c><00:24:38.420><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:24:38.740 --> 00:24:40.380
That's<00:24:38.960><c> what</c><00:24:39.059><c> they</c><00:24:39.299><c> were</c><00:24:39.500><c> to</c><00:24:39.980><c> the</c><00:24:40.180><c> Jew.</c>

00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:43.720
Paul,<00:24:40.940><c> of</c><00:24:41.079><c> course,</c><00:24:41.319><c> didn't</c><00:24:42.000><c> mean</c><00:24:42.339><c> that</c><00:24:42.799><c> Gentiles</c><00:24:43.119><c> had</c><00:24:43.299><c> no</c><00:24:43.539><c> hope.</c>

00:24:43.980 --> 00:24:44.940
He<00:24:44.160><c> didn't</c><00:24:44.380><c> mean</c><00:24:44.519><c> it</c><00:24:44.660><c> that</c><00:24:44.799><c> way.</c>

00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:47.740
But<00:24:45.240><c> he's</c><00:24:45.720><c> telling</c><00:24:45.859><c> Peter,</c><00:24:46.220><c> that's</c><00:24:46.380><c> how</c><00:24:46.460><c> the</c><00:24:46.660><c> Jews</c><00:24:46.859><c> see</c><00:24:47.240><c> them,</c><00:24:47.440><c> Peter.</c>

00:24:48.099 --> 00:24:50.180
And<00:24:48.259><c> yet</c><00:24:48.420><c> you</c><00:24:48.900><c> would</c><00:24:49.140><c> eat</c><00:24:49.279><c> with</c><00:24:49.400><c> them</c><00:24:49.519><c> at</c><00:24:49.680><c> one</c><00:24:49.940><c> stage,</c>

00:24:57.240 --> 00:24:59.960
He's<00:24:57.539><c> not</c><00:24:57.680><c> a</c><00:24:57.799><c> fellow</c><00:24:57.920><c> that's</c><00:24:58.220><c> just</c><00:24:58.359><c> made</c><00:24:58.559><c> a</c><00:24:58.720><c> mistake</c><00:24:59.099><c> today</c>

00:25:05.819 --> 00:25:11.420
In<00:25:06.019><c> a</c><00:25:06.220><c> city</c><00:25:06.900><c> filled</c><00:25:07.940><c> with</c><00:25:08.240><c> priests,</c><00:25:09.839><c> in</c><00:25:10.019><c> a</c><00:25:10.099><c> little</c><00:25:10.259><c> paradise.</c>

00:25:11.819 --> 00:25:13.920
And<00:25:11.920><c> imagine</c><00:25:12.180><c> their</c><00:25:12.500><c> townhouses</c><00:25:12.960><c> in</c><00:25:13.200><c> Jericho,</c><00:25:13.519><c> what</c><00:25:13.660><c> they'd</c>

be<00:25:14.019><c> like.</c>

00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:15.819
The<00:25:15.000><c> richness</c><00:25:15.299><c> of</c><00:25:15.519><c> the</c><00:25:15.640><c> place.</c>

00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:23.240
wow,<00:25:22.500><c> he's</c><00:25:22.779><c> rich,</c><00:25:23.099><c> isn't</c><00:25:23.180><c> he?</c>

00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:24.960
And<00:25:23.339><c> he's</c><00:25:23.440><c> probably</c><00:25:23.779><c> going</c><00:25:24.019><c> there,</c><00:25:24.480><c> you</c><00:25:24.819><c> know,</c>

00:25:25.019 --> 00:25:28.779
because<00:25:25.319><c> of</c><00:25:25.559><c> the</c><00:25:26.180><c> luxurious</c><00:25:26.700><c> circumstances</c><00:25:27.400><c> that'll</c><00:25:27.740><c> be</c><00:25:28.200><c> presented</c><00:25:28.519><c> to</c><00:25:28.700><c> him.</c>

00:25:28.779 --> 00:25:30.720
But<00:25:28.779><c> that's</c><00:25:29.019><c> probably</c><00:25:29.380><c> what</c><00:25:29.599><c> they</c><00:25:29.900><c> thought.</c>

00:25:30.779 --> 00:25:32.480
Well,<00:25:31.000><c> Zacchaeus</c><00:25:31.160><c> came</c><00:25:31.380><c> out</c><00:25:31.519><c> of</c><00:25:31.579><c> that</c><00:25:31.819><c> tree,</c>

he<00:25:36.220><c> received</c><00:25:36.579><c> him</c><00:25:36.839><c> joyfully.</c>

00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:42.180
And<00:25:38.759><c> then</c><00:25:38.940><c> in</c><00:25:39.099><c> verse</c><00:25:39.359><c> 8,</c><00:25:39.579><c> and</c><00:25:39.740><c> it</c><00:25:39.839><c> says,</c><00:25:40.619><c> and</c><00:25:40.619><c> Zacchaeus</c><00:25:41.200><c> stood.</c>

He<00:25:43.160><c> stood.</c>

00:25:44.099 --> 00:25:45.119
Now,<00:25:44.299><c> you</c><00:25:44.460><c> listen</c><00:25:44.660><c> to</c><00:25:44.839><c> this.</c>

00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:49.900
That's<00:25:45.960><c> the</c><00:25:46.099><c> word</c><00:25:46.500><c> that</c><00:25:46.980><c> we</c><00:25:47.259><c> came</c><00:25:47.460><c> across</c><00:25:48.140><c> in</c><00:25:48.460><c> Luke</c><00:25:48.779><c> 18,</c>

That's<00:28:13.440><c> a</c><00:28:13.619><c> very</c><00:28:13.819><c> wonderful</c><00:28:14.160><c> thing,</c><00:28:14.440><c> isn't</c><00:28:14.619><c> it?</c>

That's<00:28:42.000><c> how</c><00:28:42.059><c> it</c><00:28:42.220><c> should</c><00:28:42.420><c> be.</c>

00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:50.599
It's<00:28:48.839><c> not</c><00:28:48.940><c> all</c><00:28:49.259><c> that</c><00:28:49.500><c> wrong</c><00:28:49.799><c> the</c><00:28:50.000><c> next</c><00:28:50.279><c> day.</c>

And<00:29:02.420><c> the</c><00:29:02.619><c> person</c><00:29:02.839><c> who's</c><00:29:03.079><c> committed</c><00:29:03.259><c> the</c><00:29:03.559><c> crime</c>

00:29:12.579 --> 00:29:13.359
You<00:29:12.700><c> know</c><00:29:12.819><c> how</c><00:29:13.039><c> it</c><00:29:13.079><c> goes?</c>

00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:15.720
Well,<00:29:14.400><c> this</c><00:29:14.660><c> man's</c><00:29:14.920><c> not</c><00:29:15.079><c> like</c><00:29:15.400><c> that.</c>

00:29:16.220 --> 00:29:19.039
He's<00:29:16.460><c> been</c><00:29:16.680><c> in</c><00:29:16.799><c> the</c><00:29:16.980><c> wrong,</c><00:29:17.319><c> and</c><00:29:17.359><c> he's</c><00:29:17.579><c> going</c><00:29:17.700><c> to</c><00:29:17.819><c> put</c><00:29:17.960><c> it</c><00:29:18.200><c> right.</c>

00:29:19.180 --> 00:29:20.880
He<00:29:19.359><c> must</c><00:29:19.579><c> have</c><00:29:19.680><c> thought</c><00:29:19.859><c> a</c><00:29:20.019><c> long</c><00:29:20.160><c> time</c><00:29:20.440><c> about</c><00:29:20.700><c> it.</c>

00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:22.720
That's<00:29:21.119><c> why</c><00:29:21.259><c> he</c><00:29:21.339><c> wanted</c><00:29:21.480><c> to</c><00:29:21.680><c> see</c><00:29:21.779><c> what</c><00:29:21.940><c> Jesus</c><00:29:22.299><c> was</c><00:29:22.539><c> like.</c>

00:29:23.140 --> 00:29:24.559
He<00:29:23.259><c> knows</c><00:29:23.460><c> what</c><00:29:23.599><c> he's</c><00:29:23.740><c> doing.</c>

00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:26.240
He's<00:29:24.980><c> come</c><00:29:25.180><c> with</c><00:29:25.339><c> this</c><00:29:25.599><c> frame</c><00:29:25.779><c> of</c><00:29:26.059><c> mind.</c>

00:29:26.500 --> 00:29:28.400
Now,<00:29:26.660><c> what's</c><00:29:26.920><c> he</c><00:29:26.960><c> going</c><00:29:27.079><c> to</c><00:29:27.200><c> do</c><00:29:27.359><c> about</c><00:29:27.559><c> it,</c><00:29:27.660><c> brothers</c><00:29:27.900><c> and</c><00:29:28.119><c> sisters?</c>

00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:32.259
Well,<00:29:28.880><c> he's</c><00:29:29.119><c> going</c><00:29:29.240><c> to</c><00:29:29.440><c> give</c><00:29:29.779><c> half</c><00:29:30.240><c> of</c><00:29:30.460><c> his</c><00:29:30.700><c> goods</c><00:29:30.980><c> to</c><00:29:31.180><c> the</c><00:29:31.460><c> poor.</c>

00:29:32.299 --> 00:29:33.460
Now,<00:29:32.440><c> did</c><00:29:32.539><c> you</c><00:29:32.660><c> notice</c><00:29:32.819><c> what</c><00:29:32.980><c> it</c><00:29:33.200><c> says?</c>

00:29:33.759 --> 00:29:38.400
It<00:29:33.960><c> doesn't</c><00:29:34.339><c> say</c><00:29:35.119><c> that</c><00:29:35.759><c> he's</c><00:29:35.900><c> going</c><00:29:36.019><c> to</c><00:29:36.140><c> give</c><00:29:36.299><c> half</c><00:29:36.640><c> of</c><00:29:36.880><c> his</c><00:29:37.339><c> profit.</c>

00:29:38.460 --> 00:29:41.980
He's<00:29:38.759><c> going</c><00:29:38.859><c> to</c><00:29:38.980><c> give</c><00:29:39.140><c> half</c><00:29:39.700><c> of</c><00:29:40.539><c> his</c><00:29:40.960><c> property.</c>

00:29:42.240 --> 00:29:43.559
That's<00:29:42.720><c> not</c><00:29:42.900><c> bad,</c><00:29:43.299><c> is</c><00:29:43.319><c> it?</c>

00:29:44.000 --> 00:29:45.579
Now,<00:29:44.160><c> you</c><00:29:44.259><c> think</c><00:29:44.480><c> about</c><00:29:44.740><c> that.</c>

00:29:45.619 --> 00:29:47.640
So<00:29:45.759><c> you're</c><00:29:46.059><c> filching</c><00:29:46.359><c> certain</c><00:29:46.720><c> things,</c>

00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:50.140
and<00:29:48.279><c> you</c><00:29:48.759><c> suddenly</c><00:29:49.039><c> feel</c><00:29:49.279><c> sorry</c><00:29:49.579><c> about</c><00:29:49.799><c> it.</c>

00:29:50.480 --> 00:29:53.200
You<00:29:50.700><c> might</c><00:29:50.940><c> think,</c><00:29:51.200><c> well,</c><00:29:51.680><c> I'll</c><00:29:52.019><c> give</c><00:29:52.160><c> half</c><00:29:52.460><c> of</c><00:29:52.640><c> that</c><00:29:52.900><c> back.</c>

00:29:53.579 --> 00:29:55.400

00:29:55.799 --> 00:29:58.059
But<00:29:55.940><c> you've</c><00:29:56.220><c> forgotten</c><00:29:56.500><c> all</c><00:29:56.839><c> the</c><00:29:57.039><c> years</c><00:29:57.319><c> that</c><00:29:57.559><c> you've</c><00:29:57.799><c> used</c>

00:29:58.059 --> 00:29:59.180

00:30:02.940 --> 00:30:04.220
But<00:30:03.099><c> he</c><00:30:03.259><c> hadn't</c><00:30:03.420><c> forgotten</c><00:30:03.779><c> it.</c>

00:30:04.440 --> 00:30:08.160
Half<00:30:04.740><c> of</c><00:30:04.920><c> my</c><00:30:05.240><c> property,</c><00:30:06.319><c> not</c><00:30:06.539><c> my</c><00:30:06.799><c> profit,</c><00:30:07.460><c> my</c><00:30:07.700><c> property.</c>

00:30:08.420 --> 00:30:09.359
Half<00:30:08.700><c> of</c><00:30:08.880><c> his</c><00:30:09.099><c> property.</c>

00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:11.299
Imagine<00:30:09.759><c> what</c><00:30:09.940><c> his</c><00:30:10.299><c> property</c><00:30:10.640><c> would</c><00:30:10.799><c> be</c><00:30:11.019><c> like.</c>

00:30:11.460 --> 00:30:12.440
He<00:30:11.559><c> was</c><00:30:11.720><c> very</c><00:30:12.039><c> rich.</c>

00:30:12.700 --> 00:30:13.940
That's<00:30:12.940><c> going</c><00:30:13.079><c> to</c><00:30:13.140><c> go</c><00:30:13.319><c> to</c><00:30:13.480><c> the</c><00:30:13.660><c> poor.</c>

00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:15.819
Why<00:30:14.640><c> only</c><00:30:14.920><c> half?</c>

00:30:15.859 --> 00:30:17.640
What<00:30:16.039><c> about</c><00:30:16.220><c> all</c><00:30:16.420><c> those</c><00:30:16.640><c> false</c><00:30:17.000><c> accusations?</c>

00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:22.420
That<00:30:21.039><c> would</c><00:30:21.140><c> just</c><00:30:21.279><c> about</c><00:30:21.519><c> take</c><00:30:21.680><c> up</c><00:30:21.799><c> the</c><00:30:21.940><c> rest</c><00:30:22.140><c> of</c><00:30:22.299><c> the</c><00:30:22.319><c> half,</c>

00:30:22.440 --> 00:30:22.960
wouldn't<00:30:22.640><c> it?</c>

00:30:23.299 --> 00:30:26.140
There'd<00:30:23.480><c> be</c><00:30:23.579><c> many</c><00:30:23.859><c> false</c><00:30:24.180><c> accusations,</c><00:30:25.240><c> brothers</c><00:30:25.359><c> and</c><00:30:25.599><c> sisters.</c>

00:30:26.339 --> 00:30:27.079
Many<00:30:26.579><c> of</c><00:30:26.740><c> them.</c>

00:30:29.539 --> 00:30:34.119
And<00:30:29.640><c> do</c><00:30:29.779><c> you</c><00:30:29.819><c> know,</c><00:30:30.640><c> it</c><00:30:30.680><c> wasn't</c><00:30:31.420><c> many</c><00:30:32.240><c> days</c><00:30:32.859><c> before</c><00:30:33.400><c> this</c><00:30:33.720><c> incident</c>

00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:30.940
For<00:35:28.239><c> the</c><00:35:28.420><c> son</c><00:35:28.599><c> of</c><00:35:28.760><c> man</c><00:35:28.900><c> has</c><00:35:29.059><c> come</c><00:35:29.239><c> to</c><00:35:29.579><c> save</c><00:35:29.900><c> that</c><00:35:30.119><c> which</c><00:35:30.239><c> was</c><00:35:30.559><c> lost.</c>

00:35:31.340 --> 00:35:32.739

00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:36.639

00:35:39.619 --> 00:35:41.300
It's<00:35:39.820><c> easy</c><00:35:40.079><c> to</c><00:35:40.340><c> prove</c><00:35:40.480><c> that,</c><00:35:40.659><c> by</c><00:35:40.860><c> the</c><00:35:41.000><c> way.</c>

00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:43.739
Very<00:35:41.860><c> easy</c><00:35:42.079><c> to</c><00:35:42.320><c> prove</c><00:35:42.480><c> that,</c><00:35:42.639><c> because</c><00:35:42.760><c> it's</c><00:35:43.079><c> applied</c><00:35:43.380><c> to</c><00:35:43.599><c> them.</c>

00:35:44.179 --> 00:35:47.039
They<00:35:44.579><c> were</c><00:35:44.780><c> with</c><00:35:45.000><c> him.</c><00:35:45.599><c> He'd</c><00:35:45.820><c> already</c><00:35:46.239><c> sought</c><00:35:46.500><c> them.</c>

00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:49.940
And<00:35:47.420><c> so</c><00:35:47.559><c> the</c><00:35:47.699><c> son</c><00:35:47.880><c> of</c><00:35:47.920><c> man</c><00:35:48.039><c> had</c><00:35:48.159><c> come</c><00:35:48.380><c> to</c><00:35:48.639><c> save</c><00:35:49.039><c> them.</c>

But<00:35:50.139><c> here</c><00:35:50.320><c> he</c><00:35:50.460><c> went</c><00:35:50.840><c> seeking</c><00:35:51.480><c> them,</c><00:35:52.239><c> seeking</c><00:35:52.659><c> someone</c><00:35:53.099><c> to</c><00:35:53.400><c> save.</c>

00:35:53.659 --> 00:35:56.920
You<00:35:53.820><c> see,</c><00:35:54.800><c> it</c><00:35:54.980><c> was</c><00:35:55.139><c> one</c><00:35:55.420><c> step</c><00:35:55.639><c> further,</c><00:35:55.960><c> and</c><00:35:56.079><c> that's</c><00:35:56.280><c> why</c><00:35:56.460><c> he</c>

00:35:56.920 --> 00:35:58.519
looked<00:35:57.179><c> up</c><00:35:57.380><c> in</c><00:35:57.460><c> that</c><00:35:57.739><c> tree.</c>

00:35:58.619 --> 00:36:01.159
He<00:35:58.739><c> knew</c><00:35:58.900><c> where</c><00:35:59.039><c> he</c><00:35:59.199><c> was,</c><00:35:59.400><c> of</c><00:35:59.619><c> course,</c><00:36:00.420><c> but</c><00:36:00.639><c> he</c><00:36:00.760><c> wanted</c><00:36:00.960><c> him.</c>

00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:04.039
I've<00:36:01.460><c> got</c><00:36:01.539><c> to</c><00:36:01.679><c> stop</c><00:36:01.820><c> in</c><00:36:01.980><c> your</c><00:36:02.159><c> house.</c><00:36:02.480><c> It's</c><00:36:02.619><c> an</c><00:36:02.760><c> absolute</c><00:36:03.079><c> necessity.</c>

00:36:04.099 --> 00:36:07.360
And<00:36:04.219><c> so</c><00:36:04.340><c> he</c><00:36:04.440><c> did,</c><00:36:04.639><c> brothers</c><00:36:04.900><c> and</c><00:36:05.159><c> sisters,</c><00:36:06.159><c> and</c><00:36:06.380><c> Zacchaeus</c>

00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:08.440
came<00:36:07.780><c> into</c><00:36:07.920><c> the</c><00:36:08.179><c> truth.</c>

00:36:08.619 --> 00:36:11.360
And<00:36:08.840><c> now</c><00:36:09.099><c> he</c><00:36:09.199><c> knows</c><00:36:10.000><c> what</c><00:36:10.500><c> sort</c><00:36:10.639><c> of</c><00:36:10.780><c> man</c><00:36:10.900><c> he</c><00:36:11.059><c> is.</c>

00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:14.119
And<00:36:11.679><c> you</c><00:36:11.780><c> can</c><00:36:12.000><c> rest</c><00:36:12.179><c> assured</c><00:36:12.539><c> that</c><00:36:12.860><c> from</c><00:36:13.119><c> that</c><00:36:13.539><c> moment</c><00:36:13.840><c> onwards</c>

00:36:14.119 --> 00:36:17.179
he'd<00:36:14.360><c> have</c><00:36:14.440><c> learnt</c><00:36:14.599><c> more</c><00:36:15.099><c> and</c><00:36:15.420><c> more</c><00:36:15.739><c> and</c><00:36:15.900><c> more</c><00:36:16.179><c> about</c><00:36:16.400><c> him,</c><00:36:17.039><c> as</c>

00:36:17.179 --> 00:36:18.840
much<00:36:17.380><c> as</c><00:36:17.519><c> he</c><00:36:17.619><c> ever</c><00:36:17.900><c> could.</c>

00:36:18.980 --> 00:36:22.320
Zacchaeus,<00:36:19.519><c> brothers</c><00:36:19.699><c> and</c><00:36:19.920><c> sisters,</c><00:36:20.860><c> would</c><00:36:21.019><c> have</c><00:36:21.360><c> lived,</c><00:36:21.719><c> I</c><00:36:22.019><c> believe,</c>

00:36:22.460 --> 00:36:24.659
a<00:36:22.599><c> life</c><00:36:22.880><c> of</c><00:36:23.519><c> poverty</c><00:36:23.860><c> after</c><00:36:24.159><c> that,</c><00:36:24.380><c> I</c><00:36:24.500><c> think.</c>

00:36:24.699 --> 00:36:26.460
I<00:36:24.820><c> don't</c><00:36:24.940><c> think</c><00:36:25.019><c> he</c><00:36:25.119><c> would</c><00:36:25.300><c> have</c><00:36:25.380><c> had</c><00:36:25.440><c> much</c><00:36:25.739><c> of</c><00:36:25.880><c> this</c><00:36:26.059><c> world's</c>

00:36:27.019 --> 00:36:28.800
I<00:36:27.119><c> think</c><00:36:27.400><c> that</c><00:36:27.599><c> would</c><00:36:27.760><c> have</c><00:36:27.860><c> taken</c><00:36:27.980><c> a</c><00:36:28.139><c> lot</c><00:36:28.239><c> off</c><00:36:28.420><c> of</c><00:36:28.559><c> him.</c>

00:36:29.019 --> 00:36:32.460
But<00:36:29.179><c> he</c><00:36:29.280><c> was</c><00:36:29.500><c> no</c><00:36:29.679><c> longer</c><00:36:30.039><c> a</c><00:36:30.519><c> little</c><00:36:30.719><c> man,</c><00:36:30.940><c> is</c><00:36:31.139><c> he?</c><00:36:31.579><c> He's</c><00:36:31.900><c> a</c><00:36:32.000><c> big</c><00:36:32.159><c> man.</c>

00:36:32.699 --> 00:36:35.099
And<00:36:32.840><c> that's</c><00:36:33.000><c> where</c><00:36:33.280><c> greatness</c><00:36:33.559><c> truly</c><00:36:33.940><c> comes,</c><00:36:34.480><c> brothers</c><00:36:34.539><c> and</c><00:36:34.840><c> sisters,</c>

00:36:35.179 --> 00:36:39.719
