00:01:03.020 --> 00:01:07.319
These<00:01:03.539><c> people</c><00:01:03.960><c> had</c><00:01:04.480><c> got</c><00:01:04.659><c> into</c><00:01:04.920><c> a</c><00:01:05.120><c> very</c><00:01:05.760><c> bad</c><00:01:06.280><c> state.</c>

00:01:10.060 --> 00:01:14.680
It<00:01:10.439><c> poses</c><00:01:10.819><c> a</c><00:01:10.959><c> lot</c><00:01:11.159><c> of</c><00:01:11.459><c> questions</c><00:01:12.159><c> as</c><00:01:12.760><c> to</c><00:01:12.900><c> how</c><00:01:13.079><c> that</c><00:01:13.299><c> ever</c><00:01:13.599><c> happened,</c><00:01:14.400><c> why</c>

00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:15.920
there<00:01:14.900><c> weren't</c><00:01:15.200><c> people</c><00:01:15.659><c> who</c>

00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:20.099

Paul<00:01:20.280><c> ever</c><00:01:20.760><c> stopped</c><00:01:21.019><c> in</c><00:01:21.280><c> Crete,</c><00:01:21.599><c> you</c><00:01:21.739><c> know,</c>

00:01:21.780 --> 00:01:24.519
why<00:01:21.900><c> didn't</c><00:01:22.099><c> he</c><00:01:22.219><c> just</c><00:01:22.420><c> look</c><00:01:22.599><c> at</c><00:01:22.799><c> that</c><00:01:22.939><c> and</c><00:01:23.099><c> just</c><00:01:23.359><c> keep</c><00:01:23.540><c> on</c><00:01:23.799><c> going.</c>

00:01:25.299 --> 00:01:27.480
But<00:01:25.560><c> I</c><00:01:25.680><c> think</c><00:01:25.819><c> all</c><00:01:26.079><c> these</c><00:01:26.280><c> things</c><00:01:26.480><c> that</c><00:01:26.700><c> are</c><00:01:26.859><c> posed</c><00:01:27.040><c> to</c><00:01:27.260><c> our</c>

00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.959

00:01:31.459 --> 00:01:35.680
and<00:01:31.939><c> in</c><00:01:32.140><c> many</c><00:01:32.319><c> cases,</c><00:01:33.359><c> it's</c><00:01:33.579><c> pretty</c><00:01:33.840><c> close</c><00:01:34.040><c> to</c><00:01:34.280><c> home,</c><00:01:34.599><c> the</c><00:01:34.840><c> issue.</c>

00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:40.000
So<00:01:36.879><c> not</c><00:01:37.359><c> to</c><00:01:37.560><c> get</c><00:01:37.659><c> an</c><00:01:37.920><c> answer</c><00:01:38.239><c> is</c><00:01:38.739><c> really</c><00:01:38.959><c> not</c><00:01:39.099><c> to</c><00:01:39.260><c> be</c><00:01:39.500><c> served</c><00:01:39.739><c> by</c>

our<00:01:40.260><c> study.</c>

00:01:42.700 --> 00:01:46.319
When<00:01:42.900><c> the</c><00:01:43.099><c> Apostle</c><00:01:44.239><c> saw</c><00:01:44.700><c> how</c><00:01:45.099><c> bad</c><00:01:45.239><c> it</c><00:01:45.500><c> was,</c><00:01:45.760><c> whether</c><00:01:45.920><c> he</c><00:01:46.079><c> was</c>
