00:01:38.540 --> 00:01:41.599
For<00:01:38.739><c> verily</c><00:01:39.140><c> I</c><00:01:39.439><c> say</c><00:01:39.599><c> unto</c><00:01:39.840><c> you,</c><00:01:40.400><c> that</c><00:01:40.560><c> whosoever</c><00:01:41.099><c> shall</c><00:01:41.400><c> say</c>

00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.659

00:01:45.780 --> 00:01:47.700
shall<00:01:45.959><c> not</c><00:01:46.739><c> doubt</c><00:01:46.959><c> in</c><00:01:47.180><c> his</c><00:01:47.379><c> heart,</c>

00:01:48.019 --> 00:01:50.459
and<00:01:48.180><c> shall</c><00:01:48.359><c> believe</c><00:01:48.840><c> that</c><00:01:49.040><c> those</c><00:01:49.299><c> things</c><00:01:49.579><c> which</c><00:01:49.840><c> he</c><00:01:50.180><c> sayeth</c>

00:01:50.459 --> 00:01:51.659
shall<00:01:50.700><c> come</c><00:01:51.019><c> to</c><00:01:51.319><c> pass,</c>

00:01:54.420 --> 00:01:57.219
And<00:01:54.560><c> that's</c><00:01:54.840><c> a</c><00:01:54.939><c> tremendous</c><00:01:55.500><c> amount</c><00:01:56.000><c> of</c><00:01:56.359><c> faith.</c>

00:01:57.819 --> 00:01:59.239
Faith<00:01:58.120><c> that</c><00:01:58.299><c> can</c><00:01:58.519><c> move</c><00:01:58.799><c> a</c><00:01:59.000><c> mountain.</c>

00:01:59.540 --> 00:02:04.219
It's<00:01:59.780><c> become</c><00:02:00.040><c> virtually</c><00:02:00.620><c> a</c><00:02:01.379><c> cliché</c><00:02:02.239><c> through</c><00:02:02.560><c> history,</c><00:02:03.620><c> taken</c><00:02:04.000><c> from</c>

00:02:04.219 --> 00:02:05.159
these<00:02:04.420><c> words</c><00:02:04.640><c> of</c><00:02:04.819><c> Jesus.</c>

00:02:05.659 --> 00:02:08.199
But<00:02:06.200><c> I</c><00:02:06.439><c> do</c><00:02:06.579><c> not</c><00:02:06.819><c> believe</c><00:02:07.040><c> he</c><00:02:07.260><c> meant</c><00:02:07.420><c> them</c><00:02:07.680><c> idly.</c>

00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:11.740
It's<00:02:09.319><c> just</c><00:02:09.520><c> that</c><00:02:09.659><c> we</c><00:02:09.780><c> don't</c><00:02:10.060><c> have</c><00:02:10.379><c> that</c><00:02:10.759><c> faith,</c><00:02:10.979><c> that</c><00:02:11.180><c> we</c><00:02:11.319><c> don't</c><00:02:11.580><c> see</c>

00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:19.039
Therefore<00:02:13.860><c> I</c><00:02:14.159><c> say</c><00:02:14.379><c> unto</c><00:02:14.599><c> you,</c><00:02:14.939><c> that</c><00:02:15.060><c> whatsoever</c><00:02:15.500><c> things,</c><00:02:17.060><c> what</c><00:02:17.300><c> things</c><00:02:17.800><c> soever</c><00:02:18.340><c> ye</c><00:02:18.599><c> desire,</c>

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:28.819
And<00:02:24.719><c> when</c><00:02:25.039><c> ye</c><00:02:25.400><c> stand</c><00:02:25.819><c> praying,</c><00:02:26.539><c> forgive,</c><00:02:28.039><c> if</c><00:02:28.219><c> ye</c><00:02:28.479><c> have</c><00:02:28.680><c> ought</c>

you<00:02:33.819><c> your</c><00:02:34.099><c> trespasses.</c>

00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:40.159
But<00:02:35.520><c> if</c><00:02:35.860><c> ye</c><00:02:36.099><c> do</c><00:02:36.319><c> not</c><00:02:36.639><c> forgive,</c><00:02:38.099><c> neither</c><00:02:38.400><c> will</c><00:02:38.819><c> your</c><00:02:39.120><c> Father</c><00:02:39.560><c> which</c><00:02:39.800><c> is</c>

00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.300

then<00:03:45.919><c> I</c><00:03:45.979><c> won't</c><00:03:46.099><c> do</c><00:03:46.240><c> the</c><00:03:46.419><c> regular</c><00:03:46.639><c> class.</c>

00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:49.840

Isn't<00:05:27.000><c> that</c><00:05:27.180><c> a</c><00:05:27.300><c> wonderful</c><00:05:27.660><c> thought?</c>

00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.680
Once<00:05:28.639><c> we're</c><00:05:28.939><c> forgiven</c><00:05:29.319><c> and</c><00:05:29.899><c> we're</c><00:05:30.060><c> in</c><00:05:30.180><c> the</c><00:05:30.339><c> kingdom,</c>

00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:54.799
And<00:08:52.080><c> he's</c><00:08:52.220><c> talking</c><00:08:52.480><c> about</c><00:08:52.779><c> the</c><00:08:53.039><c> gifts</c><00:08:53.240><c> of</c><00:08:53.460><c> the</c><00:08:53.720><c> Spirit.</c>

00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:36.840
Now<00:09:34.919><c> what</c><00:09:35.039><c> about</c><00:09:35.340><c> this</c><00:09:35.600><c> man</c><00:09:35.799><c> Barnabas?</c>

00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:39.840

00:15:16.480 --> 00:15:19.240

those<00:15:24.080><c> things</c>

00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:27.240
that<00:15:24.720><c> I</c><00:15:24.720><c> learned</c><00:15:25.000><c> from</c><00:15:25.299><c> my</c><00:15:25.820><c> sojourn</c><00:15:26.220><c> many</c><00:15:26.500><c> times</c><00:15:26.759><c> in</c><00:15:26.940><c> Oxford</c>

00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:30.220
Pay<00:15:28.360><c> attention</c><00:15:28.779><c> to</c><00:15:29.059><c> little</c><00:15:29.299><c> words.</c>

00:15:30.779 --> 00:15:34.100
But,<00:15:30.779><c> you</c><00:15:31.059><c> see,</c><00:15:31.659><c> that</c><00:15:31.980><c> places</c><00:15:32.279><c> them</c><00:15:32.620><c> right</c><00:15:33.080><c> in</c><00:15:33.460><c> contrast</c><00:15:33.820><c> to</c>

00:15:34.100 --> 00:15:35.159
Ananias<00:15:34.519><c> and</c><00:15:34.700><c> Sapphira.</c>

00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:37.620
But<00:15:35.820><c> they</c><00:15:36.159><c> didn't</c><00:15:36.620><c> act</c><00:15:36.940><c> like</c><00:15:37.240><c> Barnabas.</c>

00:15:38.019 --> 00:15:40.779
Now,<00:15:38.259><c> it's</c><00:15:38.379><c> curious</c><00:15:38.799><c> that</c><00:15:39.460><c> Barnabas</c><00:15:39.940><c> was</c><00:15:40.179><c> a</c><00:15:40.360><c> Levite.</c>

00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:43.679
Technically,<00:15:41.460><c> he</c><00:15:41.659><c> should</c><00:15:41.899><c> not</c><00:15:42.100><c> have</c><00:15:42.240><c> owned</c><00:15:42.460><c> any</c><00:15:42.799><c> land.</c>

00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:46.639
The<00:15:44.320><c> Levites</c><00:15:44.620><c> were</c><00:15:44.840><c> forbidden</c><00:15:45.200><c> to</c><00:15:45.519><c> own</c><00:15:45.740><c> land.</c>

00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:49.639
And<00:15:46.919><c> just</c><00:15:47.539><c> to</c><00:15:47.779><c> recall,</c><00:15:48.299><c> take</c><00:15:48.580><c> a</c><00:15:48.720><c> look</c><00:15:48.820><c> back</c><00:15:49.059><c> at</c><00:15:49.259><c> Numbers.</c>

00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:59.259
I<00:15:49.820><c> think</c><00:15:50.019><c> it's</c><00:15:50.320><c> Numbers</c><00:15:58.759><c> 18.</c>

00:16:03.259 --> 00:16:04.240
Verse<00:16:03.500><c> 20.</c>

00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:08.240
And<00:16:04.639><c> the</c><00:16:04.799><c> LORD</c><00:16:05.080><c> spake</c><00:16:05.440><c> unto</c><00:16:05.700><c> Aaron,</c><00:16:06.159><c> Thou</c><00:16:06.360><c> shalt</c><00:16:06.559><c> have</c><00:16:06.860><c> no</c><00:16:07.259><c> inheritance</c><00:16:07.799><c> in</c>

00:16:12.259 --> 00:16:16.399
I<00:16:12.679><c> am</c><00:16:13.000><c> thy</c><00:16:13.379><c> part,</c><00:16:13.899><c> thy</c><00:16:14.059><c> inheritance</c><00:16:14.559><c> among</c><00:16:14.860><c> the</c><00:16:15.159><c> children</c><00:16:15.580><c> of</c><00:16:15.919><c> Israel.</c>

00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:20.440
So<00:16:16.960><c> they</c><00:16:17.120><c> were</c><00:16:17.259><c> not</c><00:16:17.440><c> to</c><00:16:17.720><c> own</c><00:16:18.360><c> or</c><00:16:18.700><c> possess</c><00:16:18.980><c> any</c><00:16:19.379><c> land.</c>

00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:24.679
But<00:16:21.200><c> perhaps</c><00:16:21.620><c> because</c><00:16:22.019><c> he</c><00:16:22.220><c> was</c><00:16:22.440><c> in</c><00:16:22.700><c> Cyprus,</c><00:16:23.679><c> this</c><00:16:24.100><c> was</c><00:16:24.379><c> allowed.</c>

00:16:25.179 --> 00:16:27.919

this<00:16:28.240><c> land</c><00:16:28.480><c> was</c><00:16:29.259><c> contrary</c><00:16:29.840><c> to</c><00:16:30.080><c> the</c><00:16:30.259><c> law.</c>

00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:34.000
And<00:16:30.899><c> very</c><00:16:31.320><c> specifically,</c><00:16:32.519><c> again,</c><00:16:33.059><c> notice</c><00:16:33.340><c> the</c><00:16:33.600><c> connection.</c>

00:16:34.340 --> 00:16:37.279

00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:38.139
It's<00:16:37.559><c> just</c><00:16:37.779><c> continuous.</c>

00:16:38.220 --> 00:16:41.159
And<00:16:38.700><c> of</c><00:16:38.960><c> the</c><00:16:39.139><c> country</c><00:16:39.379><c> of</c><00:16:39.580><c> Cyprus</c><00:16:39.879><c> having</c><00:16:40.159><c> land.</c>

00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:43.980
So<00:16:41.539><c> the</c><00:16:41.700><c> land</c><00:16:41.860><c> must</c><00:16:42.139><c> have</c><00:16:42.299><c> been</c><00:16:42.500><c> in</c><00:16:42.799><c> Cyprus.</c>

00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:47.580
I<00:16:44.639><c> doubt</c><00:16:45.100><c> that</c><00:16:45.299><c> he</c><00:16:45.379><c> would</c><00:16:45.620><c> have</c><00:16:45.759><c> violated</c><00:16:46.360><c> the</c><00:16:47.000><c> commandment</c>

00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:53.539
And<00:16:51.860><c> so</c><00:16:52.000><c> he</c><00:16:52.360><c> serves</c><00:16:52.580><c> as</c><00:16:52.799><c> a</c><00:16:52.940><c> perfect</c><00:16:53.139><c> example.</c>

00:16:53.580 --> 00:16:56.460
He<00:16:53.679><c> turns</c><00:16:53.940><c> everything</c><00:16:54.500><c> over</c><00:16:54.799><c> to</c><00:16:54.980><c> the</c><00:16:55.139><c> work</c><00:16:55.299><c> of</c><00:16:55.580><c> God.</c>

00:16:56.860 --> 00:16:59.179
Now,<00:16:57.379><c> that's</c><00:16:57.899><c> no</c><00:16:58.159><c> mean</c><00:16:58.360><c> feat.</c>

00:16:59.220 --> 00:17:02.019
Now,<00:16:59.539><c> I</c><00:16:59.659><c> think</c><00:16:59.820><c> there's</c><00:17:00.100><c> probably</c><00:17:00.379><c> a</c><00:17:00.559><c> few</c><00:17:00.840><c> homeowners</c><00:17:01.460><c> here.</c>

00:17:02.460 --> 00:17:06.319

00:17:06.660 --> 00:17:09.160
Would<00:17:06.900><c> you</c><00:17:07.180><c> sell</c><00:17:07.299><c> everything</c><00:17:07.700><c> you</c><00:17:07.920><c> had</c><00:17:08.019><c> and</c><00:17:08.240><c> turn</c><00:17:08.359><c> it</c><00:17:08.720><c> over</c><00:17:08.940><c> to</c>

00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:10.259
the<00:17:09.339><c> Ecclesia?</c>

00:17:13.539 --> 00:17:17.200
I<00:17:13.980><c> don't</c><00:17:14.180><c> know.</c><00:17:14.759><c> It</c><00:17:14.960><c> depends</c><00:17:15.079><c> on</c><00:17:15.319><c> the</c><00:17:15.440><c> size</c><00:17:15.539><c> of</c><00:17:15.660><c> your</c><00:17:15.779><c> mortgage,</c><00:17:16.700><c> maybe.</c>

00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:19.599
But<00:17:18.039><c> it's</c><00:17:18.259><c> not</c><00:17:18.460><c> a</c><00:17:18.579><c> mean</c><00:17:18.720><c> feat.</c>

00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:22.319

We're<00:17:27.660><c> not</c><00:17:27.819><c> going</c><00:17:27.940><c> to</c><00:17:28.079><c> take</c><00:17:28.220><c> any</c><00:17:28.480><c> of</c><00:17:28.539><c> it</c><00:17:28.660><c> out</c><00:17:28.799><c> of</c><00:17:28.839><c> this</c><00:17:29.099><c> world</c>

with<00:17:29.460><c> us.</c>

00:17:31.579 --> 00:17:33.539
We<00:17:32.019><c> will</c><00:17:32.220><c> leave</c><00:17:32.359><c> it</c><00:17:32.500><c> to</c><00:17:32.720><c> others.</c>

00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:37.160
And<00:17:33.940><c> sometimes</c><00:17:34.299><c> we</c><00:17:34.599><c> forget</c><00:17:35.079><c> that</c><00:17:35.640><c> we</c><00:17:36.039><c> should</c><00:17:36.240><c> leave</c><00:17:36.480><c> it,</c><00:17:37.160><c> in</c>

00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:42.440
Because<00:17:40.099><c> it's</c><00:17:40.339><c> God</c><00:17:40.539><c> who</c><00:17:40.700><c> gave</c><00:17:40.839><c> the</c><00:17:41.059><c> blessing</c><00:17:41.339><c> in</c><00:17:41.559><c> the</c><00:17:41.740><c> first</c><00:17:41.960><c> place.</c>

00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:53.000
And<00:17:50.240><c> we're</c><00:17:50.559><c> always</c><00:17:50.900><c> strapped</c><00:17:51.339><c> for</c><00:17:51.960><c> doing</c><00:17:52.279><c> things</c><00:17:52.559><c> in</c><00:17:52.759><c> the</c>

00:18:48.380 --> 00:18:52.279
Cyrene<00:18:48.839><c> is</c><00:18:49.119><c> the</c><00:18:50.000><c> name</c><00:18:50.220><c> for</c><00:18:50.579><c> Cyprus,</c><00:18:51.220><c> and</c><00:18:51.440><c> strangers</c><00:18:51.759><c> of</c><00:18:52.039><c> Rome,</c>

00:18:53.660 --> 00:18:58.099
So<00:18:54.099><c> there</c><00:18:54.279><c> were</c><00:18:54.740><c> Cyrenes,</c><00:18:55.740><c> or</c><00:18:56.140><c> Cypriots,</c><00:18:56.700><c> as</c><00:18:56.819><c> we'd</c><00:18:57.119><c> say</c><00:18:57.240><c> today,</c><00:18:58.000><c> who</c>

00:18:59.700 --> 00:19:02.480
And<00:18:59.779><c> it</c><00:18:59.859><c> may</c><00:19:00.039><c> be</c><00:19:00.240><c> that</c><00:19:00.579><c> that</c><00:19:00.759><c> is</c><00:19:00.880><c> where</c><00:19:01.000><c> he</c><00:19:01.240><c> first</c><00:19:01.660><c> heard</c><00:19:01.980><c> the</c><00:19:02.240><c> word.</c>

00:19:26.019 --> 00:19:28.279

Here<00:21:58.500><c> was</c><00:21:58.700><c> a</c><00:21:58.859><c> man</c><00:21:59.019><c> who</c><00:21:59.799><c> had</c><00:21:59.880><c> slayed</c><00:22:01.420><c> a</c><00:22:01.680><c> number</c><00:22:01.880><c> of</c><00:22:02.079><c> them.</c>

00:22:02.240 --> 00:22:05.980
He<00:22:02.400><c> was</c><00:22:02.799><c> present</c><00:22:03.240><c> and</c><00:22:03.980><c> consenting</c><00:22:04.380><c> in</c><00:22:04.500><c> the</c><00:22:04.640><c> death</c><00:22:04.799><c> of</c><00:22:05.099><c> Stephen.</c>

00:22:07.059 --> 00:22:10.599
Here<00:22:07.619><c> was</c><00:22:07.839><c> a</c><00:22:08.019><c> man</c><00:22:08.200><c> who</c><00:22:08.339><c> was</c><00:22:08.519><c> a</c><00:22:08.799><c> very</c><00:22:09.200><c> well</c><00:22:09.579><c> known,</c>

00:22:11.779 --> 00:22:16.599
what<00:22:12.339><c> can</c><00:22:12.579><c> we</c><00:22:12.839><c> say,</c><00:22:14.059><c> agent</c><00:22:14.599><c> of</c><00:22:15.279><c> the</c><00:22:15.500><c> Sanhedrin,</c>

00:22:16.720 --> 00:22:19.700
because<00:22:17.180><c> it</c><00:22:17.359><c> was</c><00:22:17.619><c> to</c><00:22:18.000><c> him</c><00:22:18.180><c> they</c><00:22:18.319><c> had</c><00:22:18.519><c> given</c><00:22:18.660><c> the</c><00:22:18.900><c> letters.</c>

00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:22.799
It<00:22:19.960><c> was</c><00:22:20.119><c> to</c><00:22:20.259><c> him</c><00:22:20.339><c> that</c><00:22:20.539><c> he</c><00:22:20.660><c> had</c><00:22:20.799><c> went</c><00:22:20.940><c> even</c><00:22:21.359><c> abroad</c><00:22:21.700><c> outside</c><00:22:22.299><c> the</c><00:22:22.480><c> land</c><00:22:22.640><c> of</c>

Israel<00:22:23.160><c> to</c><00:22:23.799><c> hunt</c><00:22:24.160><c> down</c><00:22:24.619><c> and</c><00:22:25.059><c> scourge</c><00:22:25.440><c> this</c><00:22:25.680><c> new</c><00:22:25.960><c> way.</c>

00:22:27.220 --> 00:22:30.200
And<00:22:27.579><c> so</c><00:22:27.799><c> he</c><00:22:27.980><c> was</c><00:22:28.299><c> definitely</c><00:22:29.039><c> to</c><00:22:29.440><c> be</c><00:22:29.660><c> suspect.</c>

00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:33.500
And<00:22:30.940><c> they</c><00:22:31.119><c> perhaps</c><00:22:31.740><c> felt</c><00:22:31.940><c> maybe</c><00:22:32.200><c> he</c><00:22:32.319><c> was</c><00:22:32.539><c> trying</c><00:22:32.799><c> to,</c><00:22:33.099><c> as</c><00:22:33.279><c> an</c>

00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:40.940
and<00:22:37.099><c> find</c><00:22:37.339><c> out</c><00:22:37.579><c> who</c><00:22:37.779><c> was</c><00:22:38.099><c> really</c><00:22:39.099><c> a</c><00:22:39.420><c> follower</c><00:22:39.759><c> of</c><00:22:40.140><c> this</c><00:22:40.480><c> way</c>

00:22:40.940 --> 00:22:42.259

00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:45.420
So<00:22:42.920><c> they</c><00:22:43.200><c> weren't</c><00:22:43.420><c> going</c><00:22:43.599><c> to</c><00:22:43.759><c> take</c><00:22:43.980><c> any</c><00:22:44.339><c> chances.</c>

00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:47.720

00:22:49.619 --> 00:22:52.579
But<00:22:50.319><c> Bonobus</c><00:22:51.019><c> took</c><00:22:51.619><c> him.</c>

00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:57.160
And<00:22:53.259><c> we</c><00:22:53.420><c> get</c><00:22:53.500><c> immediately</c><00:22:54.480><c> can</c><00:22:55.000><c> realize</c><00:22:55.460><c> the</c><00:22:55.759><c> prestige</c><00:22:56.500><c> and</c>

00:22:57.160 --> 00:22:59.359
the<00:22:57.599><c> character</c><00:22:57.980><c> of</c><00:22:58.380><c> Bonobus.</c>

00:22:59.480 --> 00:23:03.200
It<00:22:59.960><c> wasn't</c><00:23:00.420><c> one</c><00:23:00.599><c> of</c><00:23:00.740><c> the</c><00:23:01.019><c> other</c><00:23:01.960><c> disciples.</c>

00:23:03.900 --> 00:23:06.660
It<00:23:03.920><c> wasn't</c><00:23:04.259><c> James</c><00:23:04.640><c> or</c><00:23:04.819><c> John</c><00:23:05.180><c> or</c><00:23:05.400><c> Peter</c><00:23:05.720><c> or</c><00:23:05.880><c> someone</c><00:23:06.160><c> else</c><00:23:06.480><c> who</c>

00:23:06.660 --> 00:23:09.420

00:23:09.779 --> 00:23:12.700
maybe<00:23:10.059><c> even</c><00:23:10.440><c> secretly</c><00:23:10.839><c> and</c><00:23:11.079><c> check</c><00:23:11.259><c> him</c><00:23:11.500><c> out.</c>

00:23:12.940 --> 00:23:18.980
It<00:23:13.200><c> was</c><00:23:13.420><c> Bonobus</c><00:23:13.920><c> who</c><00:23:14.140><c> takes</c><00:23:14.460><c> him</c><00:23:14.960><c> and</c><00:23:16.259><c> introduces</c><00:23:16.779><c> him</c><00:23:17.039><c> to</c><00:23:17.279><c> the</c><00:23:17.500><c> Ecclesia</c><00:23:17.900><c> and</c><00:23:18.319><c> brought</c><00:23:18.599><c> him</c><00:23:18.779><c> to</c>

00:23:18.980 --> 00:23:20.339
the<00:23:19.200><c> apostles.</c>

00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:23.279
And<00:23:21.079><c> I</c><00:23:21.140><c> believe</c><00:23:21.480><c> literally</c><00:23:21.859><c> here</c><00:23:22.059><c> the</c><00:23:22.240><c> apostles,</c><00:23:23.000><c> it</c><00:23:23.039><c> says,</c><00:23:23.259><c> I</c>

00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:25.180

00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:27.220
maybe<00:23:25.460><c> I'll</c><00:23:25.920><c> try</c><00:23:26.099><c> to</c><00:23:26.240><c> find</c><00:23:26.380><c> it</c><00:23:26.539><c> in</c><00:23:26.579><c> a</c><00:23:26.579><c> moment</c><00:23:26.819><c> or</c><00:23:27.000><c> two,</c>

00:23:27.220 --> 00:23:31.400
that<00:23:27.880><c> it</c><00:23:27.940><c> was</c><00:23:28.180><c> Peter</c><00:23:28.519><c> and</c><00:23:28.799><c> James</c><00:23:29.140><c> that</c><00:23:29.279><c> he</c><00:23:29.420><c> was</c><00:23:29.619><c> taken</c><00:23:29.859><c> to</c><00:23:30.299><c> and</c>

00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:32.339
brought<00:23:31.599><c> them</c><00:23:31.720><c> to</c><00:23:31.859><c> the</c><00:23:32.019><c> apostles</c>

00:23:32.339 --> 00:23:37.119
and<00:23:32.640><c> declared</c><00:23:33.000><c> unto</c><00:23:33.279><c> them</c><00:23:33.599><c> how</c><00:23:34.299><c> he</c><00:23:34.500><c> had</c><00:23:34.799><c> seen</c><00:23:35.119><c> the</c><00:23:35.380><c> Lord</c><00:23:35.680><c> in</c><00:23:35.920><c> the</c><00:23:36.119><c> way</c><00:23:36.599><c> and</c><00:23:36.920><c> that</c><00:23:37.019><c> he</c>

00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:38.079
had<00:23:37.380><c> spoken</c><00:23:37.660><c> to</c><00:23:37.900><c> him</c>

00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:42.019
and<00:23:38.240><c> how</c><00:23:38.380><c> he</c><00:23:38.579><c> had</c><00:23:38.839><c> preached</c><00:23:39.160><c> boldly</c><00:23:39.799><c> at</c><00:23:40.000><c> Damascus</c><00:23:40.480><c> in</c><00:23:40.660><c> the</c><00:23:40.859><c> name</c><00:23:41.140><c> of</c><00:23:41.420><c> Jesus.</c>

00:23:42.099 --> 00:23:45.339
And<00:23:42.559><c> he</c><00:23:42.680><c> was</c><00:23:42.920><c> with</c><00:23:43.079><c> them</c><00:23:43.299><c> coming</c><00:23:43.599><c> in</c><00:23:43.920><c> and</c><00:23:44.059><c> going</c><00:23:44.279><c> out</c><00:23:44.640><c> at</c><00:23:44.960><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:23:45.380 --> 00:23:46.559
And<00:23:45.519><c> he</c><00:23:45.640><c> did</c><00:23:45.759><c> this</c><00:23:45.900><c> for</c><00:23:46.099><c> three</c><00:23:46.319><c> years.</c>

00:23:46.559 --> 00:23:48.799
So<00:23:46.740><c> you</c><00:23:46.859><c> think</c><00:23:47.019><c> that</c><00:23:47.200><c> the</c><00:23:47.359><c> word</c><00:23:47.480><c> would</c><00:23:47.660><c> have</c><00:23:48.079><c> gotten</c><00:23:48.279><c> back</c><00:23:48.599><c> to</c>

Jerusalem<00:23:49.119><c> by</c><00:23:49.339><c> then,</c>

00:23:49.460 --> 00:23:50.759
but<00:23:49.539><c> they</c><00:23:49.839><c> still</c><00:23:50.000><c> didn't</c><00:23:50.200><c> trust</c><00:23:50.500><c> him.</c>

00:23:51.099 --> 00:23:54.180
And<00:23:51.359><c> it</c><00:23:51.480><c> was</c><00:23:51.779><c> based</c><00:23:52.319><c> on</c><00:23:52.579><c> the</c><00:23:52.799><c> prestige</c><00:23:53.180><c> of</c><00:23:53.440><c> Bonobus</c><00:23:53.740><c> that</c><00:23:53.900><c> his</c>

00:23:54.180 --> 00:23:56.079
introduction<00:23:54.900><c> comes</c><00:23:55.599><c> back</c>

00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:58.759
and<00:23:56.500><c> they</c><00:23:56.779><c> accept</c><00:23:57.400><c> it.</c>

00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:00.579
Take<00:23:59.420><c> a</c><00:23:59.559><c> look</c><00:23:59.660><c> at</c><00:23:59.839><c> that</c><00:24:00.140><c> Galatians.</c>

00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:04.099
I'm<00:24:00.960><c> pretty</c><00:24:01.279><c> sure</c><00:24:01.880><c> there's</c><00:24:02.579><c> a</c><00:24:02.819><c> comment</c><00:24:03.000><c> I</c><00:24:03.200><c> had</c><00:24:03.400><c> somewhere</c><00:24:03.859><c> on</c>

00:24:04.099 --> 00:24:06.980
Galatians<00:24:04.619><c> that</c><00:24:04.759><c> he</c><00:24:04.960><c> was</c><00:24:05.180><c> taken</c><00:24:05.400><c> back</c><00:24:05.700><c> to</c><00:24:05.980><c> Peter.</c>

00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:10.940
Yeah,<00:24:07.539><c> 1</c><00:24:07.740><c> in</c><00:24:07.839><c> 18,</c><00:24:08.400><c> 1</c><00:24:08.740><c> in</c><00:24:08.740><c> 20,</c><00:24:09.019><c> somewhere</c><00:24:09.339><c> around</c><00:24:09.619><c> there.</c>

00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:15.740
Yes.

00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:18.660

00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:24.819
And<00:24:20.220><c> so</c><00:24:20.400><c> it</c><00:24:21.299><c> was</c><00:24:21.440><c> not</c><00:24:21.640><c> even</c><00:24:21.900><c> James</c><00:24:23.160><c> of</c><00:24:24.200><c> the</c><00:24:24.420><c> Twelve.</c>

00:24:24.819 --> 00:24:27.220
And<00:24:25.200><c> after</c><00:24:25.500><c> three</c><00:24:25.759><c> years,</c><00:24:25.980><c> I</c><00:24:26.039><c> went</c><00:24:26.140><c> up</c><00:24:26.319><c> to</c><00:24:26.480><c> Jerusalem</c><00:24:26.740><c> to</c><00:24:26.960><c> see</c>

00:24:27.220 --> 00:24:28.839
Peter<00:24:27.519><c> and</c><00:24:27.700><c> bode</c><00:24:27.880><c> with</c><00:24:28.000><c> him</c><00:24:28.200><c> 15</c><00:24:28.559><c> days.</c>

00:24:28.859 --> 00:24:32.099
But<00:24:29.000><c> this</c><00:24:29.200><c> is</c><00:24:29.460><c> after</c><00:24:29.740><c> his</c><00:24:30.019><c> introduction</c><00:24:30.660><c> by</c><00:24:30.920><c> Bonobus.</c>

00:24:32.380 --> 00:24:36.519
And<00:24:32.660><c> it's</c><00:24:32.880><c> quite</c><00:24:33.099><c> interesting</c><00:24:33.700><c> that</c><00:24:34.299><c> this</c><00:24:34.779><c> introduction</c><00:24:35.380><c> then</c><00:24:35.759><c> carries</c><00:24:36.140><c> out</c>

00:24:36.519 --> 00:24:37.700
and<00:24:36.700><c> goes</c><00:24:36.920><c> pretty</c><00:24:37.200><c> successfully.</c>

00:24:37.779 --> 00:24:39.920
Once<00:24:37.980><c> he</c><00:24:38.160><c> is</c><00:24:38.400><c> introduced,</c><00:24:38.759><c> they</c><00:24:38.980><c> believe</c><00:24:39.240><c> him</c><00:24:39.559><c> and</c><00:24:39.720><c> they</c>

00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:40.539
trust<00:24:40.099><c> Bonobus.</c>

00:24:40.940 --> 00:24:43.440
Now,<00:24:41.359><c> the</c><00:24:41.500><c> other</c><00:24:41.660><c> disciples</c><00:24:42.160><c> may</c><00:24:42.480><c> have</c><00:24:42.660><c> left</c><00:24:42.880><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:45.980
The<00:24:43.799><c> other</c><00:24:44.019><c> apostles</c><00:24:44.400><c> may</c><00:24:44.579><c> have</c><00:24:44.740><c> left</c><00:24:44.859><c> Jerusalem</c><00:24:45.240><c> as</c><00:24:45.460><c> a</c><00:24:45.640><c> result</c><00:24:45.819><c> of</c>

00:24:45.980 --> 00:24:46.839
the<00:24:46.180><c> persecution</c>

00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:49.799
that<00:24:47.279><c> had</c><00:24:47.420><c> come</c><00:24:47.599><c> about</c><00:24:47.819><c> by</c><00:24:48.079><c> the</c><00:24:48.220><c> very</c><00:24:48.480><c> same</c><00:24:48.680><c> Paul.</c>

00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:56.039
And<00:24:50.900><c> so</c><00:24:51.380><c> the</c><00:24:52.240><c> Ecclesia</c><00:24:52.599><c> in</c><00:24:53.440><c> Jerusalem</c><00:24:53.960><c> was</c><00:24:54.599><c> depopulated</c><00:24:55.359><c> in</c><00:24:55.579><c> a</c><00:24:55.759><c> sense.</c>

00:24:56.339 --> 00:24:59.240
Now,<00:24:56.440><c> let's</c><00:24:56.599><c> go</c><00:24:56.819><c> back</c><00:24:57.039><c> to</c><00:24:57.240><c> Acts</c><00:24:57.480><c> chapter</c><00:24:58.220><c> 11</c>

00:24:59.299 --> 00:25:03.799
and<00:24:59.759><c> look</c><00:25:00.180><c> a</c><00:25:00.299><c> little</c><00:25:00.480><c> further</c><00:25:00.839><c> at</c><00:25:01.059><c> the</c><00:25:01.279><c> role</c><00:25:01.480><c> of</c><00:25:01.680><c> this</c><00:25:01.980><c> Bonobus.</c>

Acts<00:25:04.359><c> chapter</c><00:25:04.779><c> 11</c><00:25:05.119><c> and</c><00:25:05.339><c> we'll</c><00:25:05.640><c> read</c><00:25:05.779><c> from</c><00:25:05.960><c> verse</c><00:25:06.200><c> 19,</c><00:25:07.420><c> you</c><00:25:07.660><c> see.</c>

00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:11.819
And<00:25:08.680><c> they</c><00:25:09.099><c> which</c><00:25:09.319><c> were</c><00:25:09.660><c> scattered</c><00:25:10.000><c> abroad</c><00:25:10.440><c> upon</c><00:25:10.740><c> the</c><00:25:11.019><c> persecution</c><00:25:11.539><c> that</c>

00:25:11.819 --> 00:25:13.799
arose<00:25:12.259><c> about</c><00:25:12.819><c> Stephen.</c>

00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:16.940
So<00:25:14.519><c> many</c><00:25:15.119><c> in</c><00:25:15.500><c> Jerusalem</c><00:25:15.900><c> had</c><00:25:16.099><c> been</c><00:25:16.359><c> scattered</c><00:25:16.619><c> aboard,</c>

00:25:16.940 --> 00:25:19.359

00:25:23.259 --> 00:25:26.259
And<00:25:23.519><c> it's</c><00:25:23.700><c> interesting,</c><00:25:24.140><c> sometimes</c><00:25:24.599><c> persecution</c><00:25:25.299><c> works</c><00:25:25.740><c> totally</c><00:25:26.099><c> in</c>

God's<00:25:26.660><c> favor.</c>

00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:30.059
Sometimes<00:25:27.880><c> bad</c><00:25:28.279><c> things</c><00:25:28.559><c> that</c><00:25:28.819><c> happen</c><00:25:29.039><c> to</c><00:25:29.299><c> Ecclesias</c>

00:25:30.059 --> 00:25:34.839

00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:39.640
And<00:25:37.359><c> some</c><00:25:37.599><c> of</c><00:25:37.759><c> them</c><00:25:37.900><c> were</c><00:25:38.119><c> men</c><00:25:38.299><c> of</c><00:25:38.519><c> Cyprus</c><00:25:38.920><c> and</c><00:25:39.220><c> Cyrene,</c>

00:25:39.859 --> 00:25:43.299
which<00:25:40.119><c> when</c><00:25:40.299><c> they</c><00:25:40.559><c> would</c><00:25:40.740><c> come</c><00:25:40.900><c> to</c><00:25:41.160><c> Antioch</c><00:25:41.599><c> spake</c><00:25:42.079><c> unto</c><00:25:42.380><c> the</c><00:25:42.700><c> Grecians,</c>

00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:49.519
Now,<00:25:46.900><c> this</c><00:25:47.079><c> is</c><00:25:47.259><c> one</c><00:25:47.440><c> of</c><00:25:47.519><c> those</c><00:25:47.740><c> cases</c><00:25:48.079><c> where</c><00:25:48.279><c> we</c><00:25:48.420><c> have</c><00:25:48.640><c> to</c><00:25:48.839><c> be</c><00:25:49.319><c> a</c>

00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:53.240
Here<00:25:51.359><c> the</c><00:25:51.539><c> word</c><00:25:51.819><c> is</c><00:25:52.140><c> Grecians.</c>

00:26:03.420 --> 00:26:04.220
was<00:26:03.799><c> multiplied,</c>

00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:07.799
there<00:26:04.480><c> arose</c><00:26:04.880><c> a</c><00:26:05.339><c> murmuring</c><00:26:05.759><c> of</c><00:26:05.940><c> the</c><00:26:06.299><c> Grecians</c><00:26:06.720><c> against</c><00:26:07.119><c> the</c><00:26:07.400><c> Hebrews</c>

00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:11.000
because<00:26:08.440><c> their</c><00:26:08.720><c> widows</c><00:26:08.960><c> were</c><00:26:09.140><c> neglected</c><00:26:09.579><c> in</c><00:26:09.759><c> the</c><00:26:09.940><c> daily</c><00:26:10.220><c> ministration.</c>

00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:14.200
But<00:26:11.480><c> it's</c><00:26:11.640><c> very</c><00:26:12.220><c> clear</c><00:26:12.500><c> in</c><00:26:12.920><c> chapter</c><00:26:13.440><c> 6</c>

00:26:36.900 --> 00:26:40.619
I<00:26:37.019><c> think</c><00:26:37.420><c> most</c><00:26:37.880><c> scholars</c><00:26:38.220><c> will</c><00:26:38.500><c> agree</c><00:26:38.759><c> that</c><00:26:39.019><c> in</c><00:26:39.660><c> Acts</c><00:26:39.880><c> chapter</c><00:26:40.240><c> 6,</c>

And<00:26:47.619><c> I</c><00:26:47.759><c> think</c><00:26:47.960><c> here</c><00:26:48.559><c> the</c><00:26:49.019><c> implication</c><00:26:49.619><c> is</c><00:26:50.599><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:26:51.640 --> 00:26:54.380
Now,<00:26:51.859><c> the</c><00:26:52.039><c> Jews</c><00:26:52.240><c> definitely</c><00:26:52.819><c> used</c><00:26:53.099><c> this</c><00:26:53.400><c> word</c><00:26:53.599><c> in</c><00:26:53.779><c> both</c><00:26:54.000><c> senses.</c>

00:26:54.660 --> 00:26:56.200
It<00:26:54.759><c> was</c><00:26:55.000><c> sort</c><00:26:55.180><c> of</c><00:26:55.299><c> a</c><00:26:55.420><c> colloquial</c><00:26:55.839><c> word,</c>

00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:00.099
which<00:26:56.640><c> could</c><00:26:56.880><c> either</c><00:26:57.200><c> mean</c><00:26:57.480><c> a</c><00:26:57.900><c> Jew</c><00:26:58.180><c> who</c><00:26:58.400><c> had</c><00:26:58.579><c> gone</c><00:26:58.779><c> Gentile</c><00:26:59.579><c> or</c>

00:27:00.099 --> 00:27:01.859
it<00:27:00.200><c> could</c><00:27:00.339><c> mean</c><00:27:00.579><c> a</c><00:27:00.839><c> Gentile.</c>

00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:07.859
And<00:27:03.180><c> so</c><00:27:03.359><c> again,</c><00:27:03.980><c> it's</c><00:27:04.099><c> one</c><00:27:04.279><c> of</c><00:27:04.339><c> those</c><00:27:04.579><c> things</c><00:27:04.759><c> we</c><00:27:04.940><c> have</c><00:27:05.160><c> to</c><00:27:05.539><c> pretty</c><00:27:05.759><c> much</c><00:27:06.519><c> guess</c><00:27:06.859><c> from</c><00:27:07.140><c> the</c><00:27:07.400><c> context.</c>

00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:10.299
And<00:27:08.519><c> it's</c><00:27:08.700><c> just</c><00:27:08.880><c> one</c><00:27:09.000><c> of</c><00:27:09.079><c> those</c><00:27:09.240><c> things</c><00:27:09.380><c> I</c><00:27:09.539><c> like</c><00:27:09.660><c> to</c><00:27:09.859><c> point</c><00:27:10.079><c> out</c>

00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:13.779

00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:16.920
One<00:27:14.920><c> word</c><00:27:15.140><c> can</c><00:27:15.380><c> mean</c><00:27:15.519><c> more</c><00:27:15.819><c> than</c><00:27:16.019><c> one</c><00:27:16.299><c> thing,</c>

00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:20.440
depending<00:27:17.539><c> on</c><00:27:17.740><c> the</c><00:27:18.000><c> context</c><00:27:18.460><c> and</c><00:27:18.640><c> the</c><00:27:18.819><c> breadth</c><00:27:19.000><c> of</c><00:27:19.180><c> that</c><00:27:19.460><c> context.</c>

00:27:20.460 --> 00:27:23.319
It's<00:27:20.799><c> not</c><00:27:21.059><c> like</c><00:27:21.400><c> mathematics</c><00:27:21.960><c> or</c><00:27:22.299><c> physics.</c>

00:27:24.200 --> 00:27:26.660
When<00:27:24.500><c> I</c><00:27:24.940><c> do</c><00:27:25.160><c> a</c><00:27:25.359><c> calculation,</c><00:27:25.900><c> I</c><00:27:26.039><c> get</c><00:27:26.200><c> a</c><00:27:26.420><c> result.</c>

00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:29.160
I<00:27:26.799><c> can</c><00:27:27.000><c> be</c><00:27:27.220><c> pretty</c><00:27:27.579><c> sure</c><00:27:27.819><c> it's</c><00:27:28.160><c> correct.</c>

00:27:30.339 --> 00:27:32.599
And<00:27:30.460><c> there</c><00:27:30.559><c> are</c><00:27:30.720><c> ways</c><00:27:31.000><c> of</c><00:27:31.319><c> checking</c><00:27:31.539><c> it.</c><00:27:31.839><c> Language</c><00:27:32.220><c> doesn't</c>

00:27:34.900 --> 00:27:37.180
Here<00:27:35.180><c> I</c><00:27:35.259><c> think</c><00:27:35.480><c> he's</c><00:27:35.700><c> talking</c><00:27:36.039><c> about</c><00:27:36.460><c> the</c><00:27:36.700><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:27:37.180 --> 00:27:41.660
The<00:27:37.559><c> only</c><00:27:37.839><c> clue</c><00:27:38.079><c> I</c><00:27:38.220><c> would</c><00:27:38.480><c> offer</c><00:27:38.759><c> here</c><00:27:39.019><c> is</c><00:27:39.160><c> it</c><00:27:39.359><c> follows</c><00:27:39.799><c> after</c><00:27:40.180><c> Cornelius.</c>

00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:43.799
It<00:27:42.559><c> follows</c><00:27:42.859><c> after</c><00:27:43.200><c> Cornelius.</c>

00:27:43.940 --> 00:27:47.359
And<00:27:44.019><c> so</c><00:27:44.160><c> that</c><00:27:44.500><c> colloquial</c><00:27:45.000><c> use</c><00:27:45.279><c> of</c><00:27:45.460><c> it</c><00:27:45.900><c> would</c><00:27:46.160><c> be</c><00:27:46.460><c> perfectly</c><00:27:46.799><c> appropriate.</c>

00:27:47.519 --> 00:27:50.920
And<00:27:47.680><c> it</c><00:27:47.900><c> also</c><00:27:48.200><c> follows</c><00:27:48.640><c> after</c><00:27:49.359><c> talking</c><00:27:49.819><c> about</c><00:27:50.140><c> all</c><00:27:50.500><c> here</c><00:27:50.720><c> in</c>

00:27:51.660 --> 00:27:53.400
all<00:27:51.819><c> these</c><00:27:52.019><c> various</c><00:27:52.359><c> Gentile</c><00:27:52.900><c> places.</c>

00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:57.079
And<00:27:54.140><c> it</c><00:27:54.279><c> makes</c><00:27:54.400><c> a</c><00:27:54.599><c> specific</c><00:27:55.099><c> difference</c><00:27:55.619><c> here</c><00:27:55.880><c> between</c><00:27:56.480><c> preaching</c><00:27:56.839><c> to</c>

00:27:57.079 --> 00:27:57.859
the<00:27:57.279><c> Jews</c><00:27:57.460><c> only</c>

00:28:00.420 --> 00:28:04.900
Now,<00:28:01.039><c> Barnabas,</c><00:28:01.599><c> like</c><00:28:01.859><c> Paul,</c><00:28:02.980><c> came</c><00:28:03.420><c> from</c><00:28:03.720><c> out</c><00:28:03.960><c> without</c><00:28:04.259><c> the</c><00:28:04.559><c> land.</c>

00:28:04.900 --> 00:28:08.410
He<00:28:05.740><c> was</c><00:28:05.980><c> well</c><00:28:06.259><c>-schooled</c><00:28:06.819><c> in</c><00:28:07.000><c> the</c><00:28:07.059><c> law.</c><00:28:07.240><c> He</c><00:28:07.240><c> was</c><00:28:07.440><c> a</c><00:28:07.599><c> Levite.</c>

00:28:09.019 --> 00:28:11.059
He<00:28:09.119><c> was</c><00:28:09.359><c> very</c><00:28:09.680><c> well</c><00:28:09.980><c>-versed</c><00:28:10.180><c> in</c><00:28:10.339><c> the</c><00:28:10.440><c> Old</c><00:28:10.619><c> Testament.</c>

00:28:11.299 --> 00:28:13.700
But<00:28:11.460><c> he</c><00:28:11.640><c> had</c><00:28:12.599><c> Gentile</c><00:28:13.200><c> connections.</c>

00:28:14.019 --> 00:28:16.440
He<00:28:14.099><c> was</c><00:28:14.339><c> a</c><00:28:14.460><c> Jew</c><00:28:14.599><c> who</c><00:28:14.819><c> had</c><00:28:15.079><c> lived</c><00:28:15.240><c> in</c><00:28:15.400><c> a</c><00:28:15.559><c> Gentile</c><00:28:16.059><c> land.</c>

00:28:16.940 --> 00:28:20.779

00:28:32.059 --> 00:28:38.440
So<00:28:32.400><c> while</c><00:28:32.779><c> Peter</c><00:28:33.359><c> had</c><00:28:33.579><c> the</c><00:28:33.839><c> keys</c><00:28:34.240><c> and</c><00:28:34.759><c> made</c><00:28:35.039><c> the</c><00:28:35.460><c> first</c><00:28:36.420><c> breach</c><00:28:37.099><c> open,</c>

00:28:42.460 --> 00:28:45.019
And<00:28:42.779><c> that</c><00:28:43.299><c> often</c><00:28:43.619><c> happens</c><00:28:44.000><c> with</c><00:28:44.200><c> God.</c>

00:28:45.619 --> 00:28:48.019
He<00:28:45.819><c> selects</c><00:28:46.240><c> whom</c><00:28:46.400><c> he</c><00:28:46.539><c> needs</c><00:28:46.720><c> for</c><00:28:46.920><c> the</c><00:28:47.160><c> tasks</c><00:28:47.380><c> he</c><00:28:47.539><c> needs.</c>

00:28:48.259 --> 00:28:49.599
And<00:28:48.420><c> he</c><00:28:48.539><c> draws</c><00:28:48.779><c> it</c><00:28:49.059><c> out.</c>

00:28:49.960 --> 00:28:52.380
And<00:28:50.140><c> they're</c><00:28:50.339><c> used</c><00:28:50.619><c> in</c><00:28:50.880><c> wonderful</c><00:28:51.319><c> ways,</c>

00:28:56.539 --> 00:29:01.359
And<00:28:56.779><c> he</c><00:28:57.700><c> takes</c><00:28:58.259><c> hold</c><00:28:58.759><c> of</c><00:28:58.980><c> us,</c><00:28:59.140><c> sometimes</c><00:28:59.599><c> even</c><00:29:00.160><c> ourselves.</c>

00:29:01.420 --> 00:29:04.339
We<00:29:01.859><c> find</c><00:29:02.140><c> ourselves</c><00:29:02.519><c> doing</c><00:29:02.799><c> things</c><00:29:03.059><c> we</c><00:29:03.420><c> could</c><00:29:03.740><c> not</c><00:29:03.980><c> predict.</c>

I<00:29:13.200><c> would</c><00:29:13.319><c> say,</c><00:29:13.539><c> no,</c><00:29:13.559><c> that</c><00:29:13.740><c> person</c><00:29:14.019><c> will</c><00:29:14.220><c> never</c><00:29:14.420><c> accept</c><00:29:14.740><c> it.</c>

00:29:15.400 --> 00:29:18.240
Their<00:29:15.599><c> way</c><00:29:15.759><c> of</c><00:29:15.960><c> life</c><00:29:16.079><c> is</c><00:29:16.299><c> so</c><00:29:16.579><c> unacceptable</c><00:29:17.240><c> that</c><00:29:17.819><c> they</c><00:29:18.019><c> will</c>

never<00:29:18.559><c> turn.</c>

00:29:20.019 --> 00:29:21.579
And<00:29:20.460><c> I've</c><00:29:20.559><c> been</c><00:29:20.799><c> wrong.</c>

00:29:22.220 --> 00:29:24.359
And<00:29:22.380><c> then</c><00:29:22.500><c> there's</c><00:29:22.619><c> been</c><00:29:22.819><c> other</c><00:29:23.019><c> times</c><00:29:23.279><c> I</c><00:29:23.480><c> worked</c><00:29:23.680><c> on</c><00:29:24.039><c> people</c>

00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:25.880

00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:29.740
who<00:29:26.039><c> were</c><00:29:26.200><c> good</c><00:29:26.420><c> people,</c><00:29:27.059><c> who</c><00:29:27.059><c> really</c><00:29:27.920><c> appeared</c><00:29:28.420><c> to</c><00:29:29.400><c> love</c><00:29:29.559><c> the</c>

00:29:30.259 --> 00:29:33.519
But<00:29:30.559><c> there</c><00:29:30.759><c> was</c><00:29:30.920><c> some</c><00:29:31.319><c> stubborn</c><00:29:31.700><c> block</c><00:29:32.299><c> which</c><00:29:32.720><c> they</c><00:29:33.140><c> died</c><00:29:33.380><c> and</c>

00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:35.279
they<00:29:33.700><c> never</c><00:29:33.920><c> accepted</c><00:29:34.279><c> it.</c>

00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:38.960
So<00:29:35.960><c> we</c><00:29:36.160><c> can't</c><00:29:36.480><c> in</c><00:29:36.599><c> advance</c><00:29:36.799><c> predict</c><00:29:37.319><c> how</c><00:29:37.799><c> what</c><00:29:38.000><c> we</c><00:29:38.279><c> do</c><00:29:38.420><c> is</c><00:29:38.619><c> going</c><00:29:38.779><c> to</c>

00:29:47.299 --> 00:29:49.000
They'd<00:29:47.779><c> have</c><00:29:47.920><c> success.</c>

00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:51.799
And<00:29:49.460><c> so</c><00:29:49.640><c> they</c><00:29:49.940><c> are</c><00:29:50.319><c> approached,</c><00:29:50.720><c> and</c><00:29:50.880><c> go</c><00:29:51.119><c> back</c><00:29:51.299><c> down</c><00:29:51.480><c> to</c><00:29:51.660><c> the</c>

00:30:00.420 --> 00:30:03.420
And<00:30:00.559><c> so</c><00:30:00.720><c> Barnabas</c><00:30:01.119><c> and</c><00:30:01.299><c> Saul</c><00:30:01.720><c> are</c><00:30:02.660><c> together</c><00:30:03.119><c> here</c>

00:30:37.420 --> 00:30:39.720
And<00:30:37.619><c> we'll</c><00:30:37.819><c> read</c><00:30:37.960><c> verse</c><00:30:38.359><c> 11.</c>

00:30:48.339 --> 00:30:53.440
And<00:30:48.859><c> the</c><00:30:49.000><c> Lord</c><00:30:49.259><c> said</c><00:30:49.500><c> unto</c><00:30:49.819><c> him,</c><00:30:51.700><c> Arise</c><00:30:52.039><c> and</c><00:30:52.180><c> go</c><00:30:52.380><c> into</c><00:30:52.599><c> the</c><00:30:52.859><c> street,</c><00:30:53.059><c> which</c><00:30:53.180><c> is</c>

00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:03.680
And<00:31:00.660><c> then</c><00:31:00.779><c> let's</c><00:31:00.880><c> go</c><00:31:01.059><c> down</c><00:31:01.299><c> to</c><00:31:01.420><c> verse</c><00:31:02.400><c> 30.</c>

00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:07.319
And<00:31:05.160><c> when</c><00:31:05.319><c> the</c><00:31:05.500><c> brethren</c><00:31:05.759><c> knew</c><00:31:06.220><c> that</c><00:31:06.519><c> they</c><00:31:06.720><c> brought</c><00:31:06.900><c> him</c><00:31:07.059><c> down</c>

00:31:10.539 --> 00:31:15.400
So<00:31:10.740><c> we</c><00:31:10.940><c> find</c><00:31:11.160><c> that</c><00:31:11.400><c> Paul</c><00:31:12.079><c> ends</c><00:31:12.519><c> up,</c><00:31:12.960><c> after</c><00:31:13.200><c> he's</c><00:31:13.579><c> selected</c><00:31:13.819><c> out,</c><00:31:15.259><c> he</c>

When<00:31:50.839><c> he's</c><00:31:51.160><c> called,</c><00:31:51.819><c> the</c><00:31:51.960><c> very</c><00:31:52.240><c> next</c><00:31:52.440><c> thing</c><00:31:52.579><c> we</c><00:31:52.740><c> read</c><00:31:52.900><c> of</c><00:31:53.059><c> Matthew</c><00:31:53.500><c> is</c><00:31:54.000><c> he's</c><00:31:54.339><c> having</c><00:31:54.519><c> a</c>

feast<00:31:55.079><c> for</c><00:31:55.299><c> all</c><00:31:55.519><c> the</c><00:31:55.660><c> other</c><00:31:55.839><c> publicans.</c>

00:31:59.099 --> 00:32:02.480
And<00:31:59.619><c> I</c><00:32:00.140><c> think</c><00:32:00.319><c> that's</c><00:32:00.599><c> a</c><00:32:00.759><c> tremendous</c><00:32:01.240><c> thing</c><00:32:01.799><c> to</c><00:32:02.000><c> realize</c><00:32:02.319><c> that</c>

00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:05.440
the<00:32:02.640><c> very</c><00:32:02.900><c> first</c><00:32:03.119><c> people</c><00:32:03.400><c> we're</c><00:32:03.619><c> likely</c><00:32:03.839><c> to</c><00:32:04.039><c> have</c><00:32:04.160><c> some</c><00:32:04.440><c> influence</c><00:32:04.859><c> on</c>

00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:09.480
are<00:32:06.400><c> those</c><00:32:06.559><c> who</c><00:32:06.759><c> already</c><00:32:07.140><c> know</c><00:32:07.460><c> us,</c><00:32:07.940><c> love</c><00:32:08.140><c> us,</c><00:32:08.660><c> respect</c><00:32:08.920><c> us.</c>

00:32:09.720 --> 00:32:11.299
Doesn't<00:32:09.980><c> always</c><00:32:10.259><c> work</c><00:32:10.500><c> though.</c>

00:32:12.740 --> 00:32:15.160
I'm<00:32:13.259><c> sure</c><00:32:13.380><c> I'm</c><00:32:13.539><c> looking</c><00:32:13.740><c> around</c><00:32:14.039><c> the</c><00:32:14.180><c> room,</c><00:32:14.440><c> I</c><00:32:14.579><c> know</c><00:32:14.779><c> many</c><00:32:15.019><c> of</c>

00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:16.299
you<00:32:15.299><c> probably</c><00:32:15.599><c> have</c><00:32:15.759><c> tried</c><00:32:15.940><c> this.</c>

00:32:16.579 --> 00:32:18.759
I've<00:32:16.900><c> tried</c><00:32:17.039><c> it</c><00:32:17.180><c> with</c><00:32:17.500><c> certain</c><00:32:17.779><c> relatives.</c>

00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:20.799
Some<00:32:19.359><c> that</c><00:32:19.539><c> I</c><00:32:19.680><c> married</c><00:32:19.920><c> into.</c>

00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:23.880
I<00:32:22.180><c> think</c><00:32:22.319><c> that</c><00:32:22.539><c> counts</c><00:32:22.799><c> as</c><00:32:22.980><c> relatives.</c>

00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:25.579
It's<00:32:24.799><c> tough.</c>

00:32:26.220 --> 00:32:28.740
They<00:32:26.740><c> may</c><00:32:26.920><c> respect</c><00:32:27.259><c> you</c><00:32:27.440><c> everywhere</c><00:32:27.799><c> until</c><00:32:28.039><c> you</c><00:32:28.259><c> get</c><00:32:28.359><c> to</c><00:32:28.559><c> the</c>

00:32:28.740 --> 00:32:32.160
point<00:32:28.920><c> where</c><00:32:29.180><c> you</c><00:32:30.579><c> step</c><00:32:30.960><c> right</c><00:32:31.279><c> in</c><00:32:31.440><c> the</c><00:32:31.599><c> path</c><00:32:31.799><c> of</c><00:32:31.960><c> their</c>

00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:33.380
cherished<00:32:32.460><c> beliefs.</c>

00:32:33.480 --> 00:32:36.039
There's<00:32:33.740><c> not</c><00:32:33.900><c> much</c><00:32:34.240><c> evidence</c><00:32:34.640><c> that</c><00:32:34.900><c> Paul</c><00:32:35.039><c> had</c><00:32:35.339><c> any</c><00:32:35.660><c> success</c>

00:32:36.039 --> 00:32:36.980
in<00:32:36.259><c> Tarshish,</c><00:32:36.640><c> is</c><00:32:36.799><c> there?</c>

00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:39.079
We<00:32:37.220><c> don't</c><00:32:37.420><c> hear</c><00:32:37.720><c> very</c><00:32:38.000><c> much</c><00:32:38.200><c> more</c><00:32:38.400><c> about</c><00:32:38.599><c> it</c><00:32:38.799><c> again.</c>

00:32:39.299 --> 00:32:41.460
But<00:32:39.559><c> he</c><00:32:39.839><c> made</c><00:32:40.220><c> the</c><00:32:40.559><c> effort.</c>

00:32:41.700 --> 00:32:44.500
And<00:32:41.940><c> I</c><00:32:42.059><c> think</c><00:32:42.240><c> that's</c><00:32:42.839><c> real</c><00:32:43.059><c> important</c><00:32:43.440><c> that</c><00:32:43.559><c> we</c><00:32:43.759><c> realize</c><00:32:44.099><c> that</c><00:32:44.259><c> in</c>

00:32:44.500 --> 00:32:45.680
our<00:32:44.759><c> preaching,</c>

00:32:46.700 --> 00:32:49.660
that<00:32:46.799><c> the</c><00:32:47.059><c> measure</c><00:32:47.359><c> of</c><00:32:47.660><c> success</c><00:32:48.180><c> is</c><00:32:48.480><c> not</c><00:32:48.660><c> numbers.</c>

00:32:51.259 --> 00:32:56.019
The<00:32:51.740><c> function</c><00:32:52.119><c> of</c><00:32:52.380><c> preaching</c><00:32:52.680><c> is</c><00:32:52.980><c> not</c><00:32:53.640><c> some</c><00:32:54.759><c> consumer</c><00:32:55.539><c> game</c>

00:32:56.019 --> 00:32:59.920
that<00:32:57.160><c> says</c><00:32:57.460><c> how</c><00:32:57.759><c> much</c><00:32:58.220><c> productivity</c><00:32:58.799><c> we</c><00:32:59.039><c> need.</c>

00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:04.619
The<00:33:01.779><c> measure</c><00:33:02.099><c> of</c><00:33:02.420><c> preaching</c><00:33:02.740><c> is</c><00:33:03.599><c> witnessing.</c>

00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:08.059
Now,<00:33:05.960><c> having</c><00:33:06.119><c> said</c><00:33:06.400><c> that,</c><00:33:07.119><c> I</c><00:33:07.279><c> don't</c><00:33:07.380><c> want</c><00:33:07.519><c> to</c><00:33:07.559><c> go</c><00:33:07.740><c> the</c><00:33:07.880><c> other</c>

00:33:08.059 --> 00:33:08.460
way<00:33:08.220><c> and</c><00:33:08.339><c> say,</c>

00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:11.240
well,<00:33:08.640><c> all</c><00:33:08.779><c> we</c><00:33:08.839><c> have</c><00:33:09.000><c> to</c><00:33:09.180><c> do</c><00:33:09.279><c> is</c><00:33:09.440><c> do</c><00:33:09.619><c> some</c><00:33:09.920><c> kind</c><00:33:10.059><c> of</c><00:33:10.240><c> sloppy</c><00:33:10.480><c> effort</c><00:33:10.859><c> and</c>

00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:12.599
hope<00:33:11.480><c> that</c><00:33:11.660><c> God</c><00:33:11.799><c> brings</c><00:33:12.039><c> the</c><00:33:12.240><c> increase.</c>

00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:14.480
That's<00:33:13.160><c> not</c><00:33:13.339><c> true</c><00:33:13.559><c> either.</c>

00:33:14.740 --> 00:33:16.420
But<00:33:14.900><c> we</c><00:33:15.059><c> shouldn't</c><00:33:15.380><c> get</c><00:33:15.740><c> discouraged.</c>

00:33:16.420 --> 00:33:22.000
In<00:33:17.400><c> fact,</c><00:33:19.279><c> I've</c><00:33:19.519><c> seen</c><00:33:19.700><c> cases</c><00:33:20.119><c> where</c><00:33:20.759><c> a</c><00:33:21.119><c> preaching</c><00:33:21.440><c> campaign,</c>

00:33:31.920 --> 00:33:34.019
He<00:33:32.079><c> had</c><00:33:32.200><c> put</c><00:33:32.380><c> aside</c><00:33:32.680><c> a</c><00:33:32.779><c> lot</c><00:33:33.039><c> of</c><00:33:33.220><c> earlier</c><00:33:33.559><c> cares.</c>

It<00:33:37.319><c> was</c><00:33:37.500><c> pretty</c><00:33:37.819><c> good.</c>

00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:33.159
So<00:36:27.920><c> he</c><00:36:28.280><c> was</c><00:36:28.699><c> probably</c><00:36:29.099><c> converted</c><00:36:30.159><c> earlier,</c><00:36:31.239><c> perhaps</c><00:36:31.539><c> by</c><00:36:31.800><c> Barnabas,</c><00:36:32.420><c> very</c><00:36:32.780><c> early.</c>

00:36:33.300 --> 00:36:36.139
I'm<00:36:33.440><c> not</c><00:36:33.619><c> exactly</c><00:36:34.079><c> sure</c><00:36:34.500><c> because</c><00:36:34.739><c> it's</c><00:36:35.059><c> not</c><00:36:35.320><c> said.</c>

00:36:36.300 --> 00:36:39.659

00:36:44.900 --> 00:36:48.719

00:37:08.659 --> 00:37:13.139
We<00:37:09.300><c> find</c><00:37:09.599><c> out</c><00:37:09.800><c> later</c><00:37:10.059><c> in</c><00:37:10.239><c> the</c><00:37:10.380><c> narrative</c><00:37:10.760><c> that</c><00:37:10.980><c> he</c><00:37:11.199><c> left</c><00:37:11.460><c> and</c><00:37:11.639><c> it</c><00:37:11.780><c> was</c><00:37:12.019><c> not</c><00:37:12.219><c> at</c><00:37:12.500><c> all</c><00:37:12.820><c> a</c>

pleasant<00:37:13.420><c> departing.</c>

00:37:15.500 --> 00:37:18.239
It<00:37:15.579><c> says</c><00:37:15.739><c> he</c><00:37:16.179><c> went</c><00:37:16.460><c> not</c><00:37:16.940><c> to</c><00:37:17.159><c> the</c><00:37:17.340><c> work.</c>

00:37:18.599 --> 00:37:20.739
Now<00:37:18.739><c> the</c><00:37:18.820><c> question</c><00:37:19.159><c> is,</c><00:37:19.360><c> why</c><00:37:19.559><c> did</c><00:37:19.699><c> he</c><00:37:19.840><c> leave?</c>

00:37:21.719 --> 00:37:24.260
And<00:37:22.079><c> I</c><00:37:22.280><c> tell</c><00:37:22.320><c> you,</c><00:37:22.559><c> brethren</c><00:37:22.699><c> and</c><00:37:22.940><c> sisters,</c><00:37:23.139><c> there</c><00:37:23.380><c> are</c><00:37:23.639><c> more</c>

00:37:24.260 --> 00:37:26.059
thoughts<00:37:24.559><c> on</c><00:37:24.780><c> this</c><00:37:24.960><c> in</c><00:37:25.280><c> commentaries</c>

00:37:26.059 --> 00:37:28.760
than<00:37:26.460><c> as</c><00:37:26.619><c> they</c><00:37:26.840><c> say,</c><00:37:27.000><c> Carter</c><00:37:27.260><c> has</c><00:37:27.500><c> little</c><00:37:27.719><c> liver</c><00:37:27.960><c> pills.</c>

00:37:29.739 --> 00:37:32.880
I<00:37:29.780><c> mean,</c><00:37:30.039><c> it's</c><00:37:30.159><c> just,</c><00:37:31.059><c> you</c><00:37:31.280><c> know,</c><00:37:31.639><c> the</c><00:37:31.860><c> less</c><00:37:32.119><c> information</c><00:37:32.659><c> you</c>

00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:34.460
have<00:37:33.079><c> about</c><00:37:33.380><c> an</c><00:37:33.639><c> event,</c>

00:37:34.500 --> 00:37:37.039
the<00:37:34.659><c> easier</c><00:37:34.940><c> it</c><00:37:35.059><c> is</c><00:37:35.239><c> to</c><00:37:35.420><c> make</c><00:37:35.599><c> up</c><00:37:35.960><c> your</c><00:37:36.159><c> own</c><00:37:36.320><c> ideas,</c><00:37:36.699><c> right?</c>

00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:40.679
And<00:37:37.380><c> the</c><00:37:37.480><c> easier</c><00:37:37.780><c> it</c><00:37:37.920><c> is</c><00:37:38.059><c> to</c><00:37:38.199><c> have</c><00:37:38.960><c> the</c><00:37:39.300><c> ideas</c><00:37:39.639><c> spread</c><00:37:39.960><c> and</c><00:37:40.119><c> spread</c><00:37:40.300><c> and</c><00:37:40.500><c> spread.</c>

00:37:40.900 --> 00:37:44.280
So<00:37:41.039><c> if</c><00:37:41.119><c> you</c><00:37:41.199><c> have</c><00:37:41.320><c> the</c><00:37:41.579><c> minimal</c><00:37:41.840><c> knowledge,</c><00:37:42.480><c> you</c><00:37:42.639><c> have</c><00:37:42.840><c> maximum</c><00:37:43.519><c> number</c>

00:37:44.280 --> 00:37:45.340
of<00:37:44.539><c> ideas.</c>

00:37:45.860 --> 00:37:48.139
So<00:37:46.340><c> here's</c><00:37:46.820><c> one</c><00:37:47.019><c> more</c><00:37:47.239><c> idea.</c>

00:37:48.760 --> 00:37:49.579
Okay?

00:37:50.760 --> 00:37:53.760
I<00:37:51.000><c> think</c><00:37:51.179><c> it's</c><00:37:51.420><c> very</c><00:37:51.780><c> unlikely,</c><00:37:52.659><c> as</c><00:37:52.800><c> some</c><00:37:53.099><c> commentaries</c><00:37:53.559><c> have</c>

00:37:53.760 --> 00:37:55.940
said,<00:37:53.840><c> that</c><00:37:53.960><c> he</c><00:37:54.059><c> was</c><00:37:54.280><c> afraid</c><00:37:54.599><c> of</c><00:37:54.820><c> persecution.</c>

00:37:56.820 --> 00:38:01.579
And<00:37:57.039><c> I</c><00:37:57.139><c> will</c><00:37:57.340><c> say,</c><00:37:57.719><c> sort</c><00:37:57.820><c> of</c><00:37:58.059><c> outright,</c><00:37:59.320><c> that</c><00:37:59.519><c> that</c><00:37:59.780><c> just</c><00:38:00.159><c> doesn't</c><00:38:00.420><c> make</c><00:38:00.659><c> sense.</c>

00:38:01.940 --> 00:38:03.960
He<00:38:02.139><c> went</c><00:38:02.320><c> back</c><00:38:02.579><c> to</c><00:38:02.760><c> the</c><00:38:02.880><c> work</c><00:38:03.039><c> some</c><00:38:03.300><c> years</c><00:38:03.559><c> later.</c>

00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:06.500
There's<00:38:04.619><c> plenty</c><00:38:04.860><c> of</c><00:38:05.099><c> other</c><00:38:05.280><c> evidence</c><00:38:05.559><c> which</c><00:38:05.880><c> will</c><00:38:06.099><c> point</c><00:38:06.320><c> out</c>

00:38:06.500 --> 00:38:07.199
in<00:38:06.619><c> later</c><00:38:06.860><c> writings</c>

00:38:07.199 --> 00:38:09.059
that<00:38:07.780><c> he</c><00:38:07.940><c> was</c><00:38:08.199><c> not</c><00:38:08.380><c> a</c><00:38:08.539><c> man</c><00:38:08.760><c> fearful.</c>

00:38:09.119 --> 00:38:11.599
He<00:38:09.280><c> was</c><00:38:09.519><c> even</c><00:38:09.760><c> connected</c><00:38:10.159><c> with</c><00:38:10.400><c> Paul</c><00:38:10.619><c> when</c><00:38:10.780><c> he</c><00:38:10.960><c> was</c><00:38:11.219><c> in</c><00:38:11.400><c> prison</c>

00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:12.699
at<00:38:11.860><c> Rome.</c>

00:38:12.980 --> 00:38:16.420
I<00:38:13.460><c> find</c><00:38:13.739><c> it</c><00:38:13.880><c> almost</c><00:38:14.059><c> impossible</c><00:38:14.619><c> to</c><00:38:14.880><c> believe</c><00:38:15.059><c> that</c><00:38:15.239><c> he</c><00:38:15.320><c> was</c><00:38:15.559><c> afraid.</c>

00:38:17.860 --> 00:38:20.099
Some<00:38:18.059><c> said</c><00:38:18.280><c> that</c><00:38:18.480><c> maybe</c><00:38:18.619><c> he</c><00:38:18.719><c> was</c><00:38:18.960><c> lazy</c><00:38:19.300><c> or</c><00:38:19.460><c> he</c><00:38:19.579><c> had</c><00:38:19.699><c> an</c><00:38:19.860><c> illness.</c>

00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:25.199
There's<00:38:20.719><c> no</c><00:38:21.079><c> way</c><00:38:21.900><c> that</c><00:38:22.079><c> I</c><00:38:22.179><c> can</c><00:38:22.400><c> believe</c><00:38:22.659><c> that</c><00:38:22.920><c> Paul</c><00:38:23.119><c> would</c><00:38:23.320><c> have</c><00:38:23.460><c> been</c><00:38:23.599><c> upset</c><00:38:23.980><c> about</c><00:38:24.280><c> his</c><00:38:24.539><c> departing</c>

00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:26.940
if<00:38:25.500><c> he</c><00:38:25.719><c> had</c><00:38:25.880><c> an</c><00:38:26.039><c> illness.</c>

00:38:27.619 --> 00:38:30.260
There's<00:38:27.940><c> no</c><00:38:28.159><c> indication</c><00:38:28.659><c> from</c><00:38:28.900><c> any</c><00:38:29.099><c> of</c><00:38:29.260><c> the</c><00:38:29.360><c> later</c><00:38:29.559><c> work</c><00:38:29.980><c> that</c>

00:38:30.260 --> 00:38:31.340
he<00:38:30.380><c> did</c><00:38:30.619><c> or</c><00:38:30.780><c> his</c><00:38:30.940><c> gospel</c>

00:38:31.340 --> 00:38:32.760
that<00:38:31.679><c> Mark</c><00:38:31.880><c> was</c><00:38:32.079><c> a</c><00:38:32.219><c> lazy</c><00:38:32.460><c> man.</c>

00:38:32.760 --> 00:38:38.079
I<00:38:33.619><c> think</c><00:38:33.960><c> what</c><00:38:34.219><c> may</c><00:38:34.500><c> have</c><00:38:34.699><c> happened</c><00:38:35.199><c> is</c><00:38:36.039><c> that</c><00:38:36.179><c> it</c><00:38:36.219><c> was</c><00:38:36.440><c> a</c><00:38:36.519><c> matter</c><00:38:36.719><c> of</c><00:38:37.019><c> conscience</c>

00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:42.079
that<00:38:38.880><c> John</c><00:38:39.360><c> Mark</c><00:38:39.800><c> did</c><00:38:40.559><c> not</c><00:38:40.840><c> like</c><00:38:41.059><c> what</c><00:38:41.280><c> Barnabas</c><00:38:41.659><c> and</c><00:38:41.860><c> Paul</c>

00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:43.260
were<00:38:42.280><c> doing.</c>

00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:46.059

00:38:46.139 --> 00:38:47.940
I<00:38:46.260><c> can't</c><00:38:46.519><c> go</c><00:38:46.780><c> along</c><00:38:47.000><c> with</c><00:38:47.219><c> any</c><00:38:47.420><c> more</c><00:38:47.559><c> of</c><00:38:47.699><c> that.</c>

00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:49.320
I'm<00:38:48.579><c> going</c><00:38:48.739><c> to</c><00:38:48.860><c> go</c><00:38:49.079><c> back.</c>

00:38:49.340 --> 00:38:54.360
And<00:38:49.480><c> what</c><00:38:49.659><c> was</c><00:38:49.840><c> it</c><00:38:49.940><c> that</c><00:38:50.099><c> they</c><00:38:50.300><c> may</c><00:38:50.440><c> have</c><00:38:50.579><c> been</c><00:38:50.800><c> doing</c><00:38:51.360><c> that</c><00:38:52.440><c> led</c><00:38:52.880><c> them</c><00:38:53.119><c> to</c><00:38:53.380><c> this?</c>

00:38:54.920 --> 00:38:58.679
Well,<00:38:55.119><c> it</c><00:38:55.219><c> was</c><00:38:55.420><c> only</c><00:38:55.760><c> earlier</c><00:38:56.340><c> in</c><00:38:56.960><c> this</c><00:38:57.179><c> same</c><00:38:57.500><c> journey</c><00:38:58.119><c> that</c>

00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:10.780
that<00:39:07.579><c> journey</c><00:39:08.219><c> of</c><00:39:09.340><c> a</c><00:39:09.659><c> non</c><00:39:09.940><c>-Jew.</c>

00:39:10.860 --> 00:39:15.219
And<00:39:11.039><c> it</c><00:39:11.119><c> is</c><00:39:11.360><c> possible</c><00:39:11.920><c> that</c><00:39:12.440><c> John</c><00:39:12.760><c> Mark,</c><00:39:13.000><c> who</c><00:39:13.199><c> was</c><00:39:13.400><c> a</c><00:39:13.579><c> Levite</c><00:39:14.380><c> and</c><00:39:15.039><c> a</c>

00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:20.239
And,<00:39:18.039><c> of</c><00:39:18.159><c> course,</c><00:39:18.260><c> this</c><00:39:18.500><c> was</c><00:39:18.719><c> the</c><00:39:18.940><c> classic</c><00:39:19.420><c> controversy</c><00:39:20.059><c> in</c>

the<00:39:20.380><c> first</c><00:39:20.579><c> century</c>

00:39:21.179 --> 00:39:27.420
of<00:39:21.760><c> the</c><00:39:21.960><c> Judaizers</c><00:39:22.659><c> versus</c><00:39:23.500><c> those</c><00:39:24.519><c> who</c><00:39:25.119><c> felt</c><00:39:25.320><c> that</c><00:39:26.460><c> the</c><00:39:26.860><c> Gentiles</c><00:39:27.239><c> could</c>

00:39:27.420 --> 00:39:27.880
come<00:39:27.699><c> in</c>

00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:29.860
without<00:39:28.360><c> the</c><00:39:28.639><c> encumbrances</c><00:39:29.159><c> of</c><00:39:29.400><c> the</c><00:39:29.559><c> law.</c>

00:39:29.860 --> 00:39:32.300
And<00:39:30.500><c> it's</c><00:39:30.719><c> quite</c><00:39:30.920><c> possible</c><00:39:31.400><c> that</c><00:39:31.659><c> John</c><00:39:31.920><c> Mark</c><00:39:32.119><c> said,</c>

00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:34.900
well,<00:39:32.500><c> if</c><00:39:32.599><c> you're</c><00:39:32.800><c> going</c><00:39:32.860><c> to</c><00:39:32.980><c> go</c><00:39:33.099><c> around</c><00:39:33.360><c> baptizing</c><00:39:34.159><c> Gentiles</c>

00:39:34.900 --> 00:39:37.780
and<00:39:35.219><c> not</c><00:39:35.599><c> circumcising</c><00:39:36.400><c> them,</c>

00:39:38.579 --> 00:39:39.980
then<00:39:38.880><c> I</c><00:39:39.039><c> can't</c><00:39:39.260><c> go</c><00:39:39.460><c> along</c><00:39:39.599><c> with</c><00:39:39.820><c> this.</c>

00:39:39.980 --> 00:39:41.820
And<00:39:40.119><c> I'm</c><00:39:40.239><c> going</c><00:39:40.420><c> back</c><00:39:40.679><c> to</c><00:39:40.900><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:39:43.239 --> 00:39:44.539
It<00:39:43.619><c> makes</c><00:39:43.880><c> sense.</c>

00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:47.340
And<00:39:45.139><c> I</c><00:39:45.420><c> put</c><00:39:45.579><c> it</c><00:39:45.760><c> out</c><00:39:45.880><c> there</c><00:39:46.039><c> as</c><00:39:46.260><c> a</c><00:39:46.460><c> suggestion.</c>

00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:50.320
I'm<00:39:48.079><c> not</c><00:39:48.260><c> going</c><00:39:48.380><c> to</c><00:39:48.480><c> be</c><00:39:48.599><c> dogmatic</c><00:39:49.059><c> about</c><00:39:49.380><c> it.</c>

00:39:50.719 --> 00:39:54.340
But<00:39:51.019><c> if</c><00:39:51.159><c> that</c><00:39:51.420><c> is</c><00:39:51.679><c> the</c><00:39:51.880><c> case</c><00:39:52.119><c> and</c><00:39:52.219><c> it</c><00:39:52.420><c> was</c><00:39:52.619><c> a</c><00:39:52.780><c> matter</c><00:39:52.980><c> of</c><00:39:53.280><c> conscience,</c>

00:39:54.579 --> 00:39:57.760
one<00:39:54.760><c> can</c><00:39:55.079><c> understand</c><00:39:55.639><c> later</c><00:39:56.099><c> in</c><00:39:56.280><c> all</c><00:39:56.440><c> of</c><00:39:56.619><c> Paul's</c><00:39:56.980><c> writings</c><00:39:57.179><c> why</c><00:39:57.420><c> he</c>

00:39:57.760 --> 00:39:59.400
might<00:39:58.019><c> be</c><00:39:58.340><c> somewhat</c><00:39:58.619><c> upset</c><00:39:58.960><c> about</c><00:39:59.219><c> it</c>

00:39:59.400 --> 00:40:01.039
because<00:39:59.599><c> this</c><00:39:59.900><c> argument</c><00:40:00.239><c> should</c><00:40:00.420><c> have</c><00:40:00.539><c> been</c><00:40:00.780><c> settled.</c>

00:40:01.500 --> 00:40:03.500
However,<00:40:01.739><c> this</c><00:40:01.920><c> was</c><00:40:02.059><c> very</c><00:40:02.480><c> early.</c>

00:40:03.800 --> 00:40:05.800
The<00:40:04.019><c> argument</c><00:40:04.179><c> hadn't</c><00:40:04.420><c> fully</c><00:40:04.719><c> developed</c><00:40:05.159><c> in</c><00:40:05.440><c> the</c><00:40:05.619><c> first</c>

00:40:08.099 --> 00:40:14.340
And<00:40:08.260><c> we</c><00:40:08.460><c> find</c><00:40:08.760><c> that,</c><00:40:10.780><c> sadly,</c><00:40:12.360><c> that</c><00:40:12.500><c> these</c><00:40:12.699><c> matters</c><00:40:12.900><c> of</c><00:40:13.159><c> conscience</c><00:40:13.519><c> can</c><00:40:13.860><c> sometimes,</c>

00:40:14.380 --> 00:40:17.039

00:40:17.039 --> 00:40:20.119
until<00:40:17.840><c> all</c><00:40:18.179><c> reason</c><00:40:18.500><c> goes</c><00:40:18.760><c> out</c><00:40:19.039><c> the</c><00:40:19.179><c> window.</c>

00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:29.519
And<00:40:27.380><c> some</c><00:40:27.679><c> days</c><00:40:27.960><c> after,</c><00:40:28.559><c> Paul</c><00:40:28.719><c> said</c><00:40:28.940><c> unto</c><00:40:29.159><c> Barnabas,</c>

And<00:40:37.239><c> Barnabas</c><00:40:37.659><c> determined</c><00:40:38.119><c> to</c><00:40:38.300><c> take</c><00:40:38.519><c> with</c><00:40:38.699><c> them</c><00:40:38.920><c> John,</c><00:40:39.420><c> whose</c>

00:44:12.699 --> 00:44:14.300
And<00:44:12.880><c> it's</c><00:44:12.980><c> not</c><00:44:13.239><c> true.</c>

00:44:15.300 --> 00:44:17.159
And<00:44:15.699><c> they</c><00:44:16.000><c> knew</c><00:44:16.239><c> they</c><00:44:16.460><c> had</c><00:44:16.599><c> to</c><00:44:16.679><c> go</c><00:44:16.940><c> back.</c>

00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:20.420
And<00:44:17.320><c> they</c><00:44:17.420><c> had</c><00:44:17.599><c> stayed</c><00:44:17.820><c> previously,</c><00:44:18.519><c> the</c><00:44:18.599><c> two</c><00:44:18.739><c> of</c><00:44:18.860><c> them,</c><00:44:18.960><c> in</c><00:44:19.139><c> Antioch</c><00:44:19.360><c> for</c><00:44:19.539><c> over</c><00:44:19.980><c> a</c><00:44:20.179><c> year.</c>

00:44:20.920 --> 00:44:22.539
Now,<00:44:21.219><c> Paul</c><00:44:21.420><c> didn't</c><00:44:21.639><c> have</c><00:44:21.920><c> to</c><00:44:22.079><c> do</c><00:44:22.320><c> that.</c>

00:44:22.659 --> 00:44:25.320
Some<00:44:22.840><c> have</c><00:44:23.000><c> even</c><00:44:23.239><c> said,</c><00:44:23.440><c> one</c><00:44:23.679><c> commentary</c><00:44:24.039><c> said</c><00:44:24.239><c> the</c><00:44:24.480><c> wasted</c><00:44:24.920><c> year.</c>

00:44:25.320 --> 00:44:27.340
And<00:44:25.780><c> I</c><00:44:25.940><c> kind</c><00:44:26.159><c> of</c><00:44:26.239><c> thought,</c><00:44:26.360><c> that</c><00:44:26.460><c> was</c><00:44:26.639><c> kind</c><00:44:26.780><c> of</c><00:44:27.000><c> strange.</c>

00:44:27.639 --> 00:44:28.820
It<00:44:27.780><c> wasn't</c><00:44:28.019><c> wasted</c><00:44:28.320><c> at</c><00:44:28.579><c> all.</c>

00:44:29.019 --> 00:44:31.960
He<00:44:29.139><c> not</c><00:44:29.300><c> only</c><00:44:29.679><c> got</c><00:44:29.980><c> the</c><00:44:30.199><c> contacts</c><00:44:30.599><c> in</c><00:44:30.860><c> Antioch,</c><00:44:31.320><c> he</c><00:44:31.579><c> planted</c>

00:44:33.559 --> 00:44:35.900
Now,<00:44:33.739><c> it's</c><00:44:33.900><c> very</c><00:44:34.280><c> easy</c><00:44:34.500><c> to</c><00:44:34.699><c> use</c><00:44:34.840><c> the</c><00:44:35.119><c> excuse</c><00:44:35.400><c> when</c><00:44:35.579><c> someone</c>

00:44:36.559 --> 00:44:39.159
that<00:44:36.719><c> we</c><00:44:36.960><c> brought</c><00:44:37.139><c> in</c><00:44:37.579><c> that</c><00:44:37.820><c> was</c><00:44:38.039><c> just</c><00:44:38.360><c> the</c><00:44:38.559><c> parable</c><00:44:38.760><c> of</c><00:44:39.000><c> the</c>

00:44:40.099 --> 00:44:41.440
Some<00:44:40.280><c> of</c><00:44:40.420><c> the</c><00:44:40.539><c> seed</c><00:44:40.659><c> falls</c><00:44:40.940><c> here</c><00:44:41.179><c> or</c><00:44:41.280><c> something.</c>

00:44:41.679 --> 00:44:46.320
But<00:44:41.920><c> remember,</c><00:44:42.880><c> there's</c><00:44:43.139><c> more</c><00:44:43.360><c> to</c><00:44:43.559><c> that</c><00:44:43.820><c> parable</c><00:44:44.639><c> that's</c><00:44:45.159><c> not</c><00:44:45.460><c> said.</c>

00:44:48.400 --> 00:44:53.219
It's<00:44:48.619><c> very</c><00:44:49.000><c> also</c><00:44:49.679><c> the</c><00:44:49.900><c> responsibility</c><00:44:50.880><c> of</c><00:44:51.059><c> the</c><00:44:51.280><c> sower</c><00:44:51.460><c> to</c><00:44:51.719><c> prepare</c><00:44:52.119><c> the</c><00:44:52.400><c> ground.</c>

00:44:53.320 --> 00:44:56.599
And<00:44:53.760><c> if</c><00:44:53.880><c> you</c><00:44:54.119><c> don't</c><00:44:54.940><c> furrow</c><00:44:55.239><c> it</c><00:44:55.519><c> deep,</c><00:44:56.000><c> it's</c><00:44:56.079><c> not</c><00:44:56.300><c> going</c><00:44:56.480><c> to</c>

00:44:57.760 --> 00:45:02.239
And<00:44:57.940><c> if</c><00:44:58.019><c> you</c><00:44:58.280><c> don't</c><00:44:58.800><c> give</c><00:44:59.019><c> it</c><00:44:59.219><c> nourishment,</c><00:45:01.420><c> it's</c><00:45:01.800><c> not</c><00:45:02.059><c> going</c>

00:45:03.380 --> 00:45:06.880

00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:10.860
So<00:45:07.880><c> we</c><00:45:08.199><c> have</c><00:45:08.420><c> to</c><00:45:08.800><c> make</c><00:45:09.099><c> sure</c><00:45:09.699><c> that</c><00:45:09.900><c> we</c><00:45:10.039><c> do</c><00:45:10.219><c> all</c><00:45:10.480><c> these</c><00:45:10.639><c> steps.</c>

00:45:18.159 --> 00:45:19.860
Paul<00:45:18.360><c> didn't</c><00:45:18.599><c> just</c><00:45:18.780><c> go</c><00:45:18.960><c> out</c><00:45:19.079><c> and</c><00:45:19.179><c> get</c><00:45:19.360><c> contacts.</c>
