00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:22.059

00:41:06.739 --> 00:41:08.380
What<00:41:06.960><c> about</c><00:41:07.179><c> a</c><00:41:07.480><c> career?</c>

00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:12.019
Well,<00:41:09.500><c> Timothy,</c><00:41:09.920><c> we're</c><00:41:10.079><c> just</c><00:41:10.300><c> going</c><00:41:10.460><c> to</c><00:41:10.579><c> have</c><00:41:10.719><c> to</c><00:41:10.920><c> do</c><00:41:11.119><c> what</c><00:41:11.380><c> we</c><00:41:11.739><c> can.</c>

00:41:12.019 --> 00:41:15.360
We<00:41:12.179><c> don't</c><00:41:12.440><c> wish</c><00:41:12.679><c> to</c><00:41:12.840><c> be</c><00:41:13.179><c> chargeable</c><00:41:13.659><c> to</c><00:41:13.920><c> any</c><00:41:14.260><c> man.</c>

00:41:16.139 --> 00:41:18.860

00:41:19.559 --> 00:41:22.780
well,<00:41:19.980><c> you</c><00:41:20.139><c> perhaps</c><00:41:20.420><c> better</c><00:41:20.639><c> put</c><00:41:20.840><c> those</c><00:41:21.099><c> on</c><00:41:21.300><c> one</c><00:41:21.659><c> side.</c>

00:41:25.340 --> 00:41:31.519
And<00:41:25.820><c> then,</c><00:41:26.980><c> perhaps</c><00:41:27.239><c> what</c><00:41:27.519><c> might</c><00:41:28.079><c> appear</c><00:41:28.619><c> to</c><00:41:28.880><c> be</c><00:41:29.019><c> the</c><00:41:29.320><c> final</c><00:41:29.900><c> indignity,</c>

00:41:32.420 --> 00:41:35.039
well,<00:41:32.579><c> just</c><00:41:32.820><c> turn</c><00:41:33.019><c> to</c><00:41:33.199><c> Acts</c><00:41:33.360><c> chapter</c><00:41:33.699><c> 16.</c>

00:41:37.619 --> 00:41:39.860
You<00:41:37.699><c> see,</c><00:41:37.800><c> all</c><00:41:38.059><c> those</c><00:41:38.260><c> very</c><00:41:38.579><c> natural</c><00:41:39.099><c> questions</c>

00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:46.619
Timothy's<00:41:45.659><c> sake.</c>

00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:50.500
Then<00:41:48.260><c> we</c><00:41:48.460><c> read</c><00:41:48.699><c> in</c><00:41:48.880><c> verse</c><00:41:49.099><c> 3,</c><00:41:49.400><c> about</c><00:41:49.659><c> 16,</c>

him,<00:41:51.159><c> Timothy,</c><00:41:52.440><c> would</c><00:41:52.679><c> Paul</c><00:41:53.039><c> have</c><00:41:53.380><c> to</c><00:41:53.579><c> go</c><00:41:53.880><c> forth</c><00:41:54.219><c> with</c><00:41:54.519><c> him</c>

00:41:55.619 --> 00:42:00.059

00:42:02.059 --> 00:42:03.880
And<00:42:02.380><c> you</c><00:42:02.500><c> remember</c><00:42:02.699><c> something</c><00:42:02.980><c> I</c><00:42:03.179><c> mentioned</c><00:42:03.420><c> yesterday,</c>

00:42:03.880 --> 00:42:09.559

00:42:09.559 --> 00:42:11.260
Timothy<00:42:09.940><c> spoke.</c>

00:42:12.679 --> 00:42:18.079
As<00:42:12.699><c> a</c><00:42:13.159><c> lamb</c><00:42:13.420><c> before</c><00:42:13.960><c> her</c><00:42:14.340><c> shearers</c><00:42:15.159><c> is</c><00:42:15.760><c> done,</c><00:42:17.360><c> so</c><00:42:17.599><c> he</c><00:42:17.880><c> opened</c>

00:42:20.820 --> 00:42:26.880
You<00:42:20.880><c> see,</c><00:42:21.300><c> circumcision</c><00:42:21.860><c> as</c><00:42:22.260><c> an</c><00:42:22.579><c> adult</c><00:42:23.079><c> is</c><00:42:24.980><c> not</c><00:42:25.199><c> a</c><00:42:25.260><c> very</c><00:42:25.519><c> easy</c><00:42:25.880><c> thing.</c>

00:42:27.239 --> 00:42:31.079
You<00:42:27.559><c> remember</c><00:42:27.880><c> the</c><00:42:28.079><c> occasion</c><00:42:28.579><c> of</c><00:42:29.039><c> Jacob's</c><00:42:29.780><c> family</c><00:42:30.199><c> after</c><00:42:30.599><c> the</c>

assault<00:42:31.420><c> upon</c><00:42:31.780><c> Dinah</c>

00:42:35.780 --> 00:42:38.340
And<00:42:35.920><c> you</c><00:42:36.000><c> remember</c><00:42:36.320><c> what</c><00:42:36.500><c> was</c><00:42:36.780><c> said</c><00:42:36.920><c> of</c><00:42:37.059><c> them</c><00:42:37.400><c> three</c><00:42:37.820><c> days</c>

00:42:38.340 --> 00:42:41.440
after<00:42:38.860><c> they</c><00:42:39.099><c> were</c><00:42:39.460><c> circumcised.</c>

00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:45.360
While<00:42:42.280><c> they</c><00:42:42.659><c> were</c><00:42:43.059><c> still</c><00:42:44.059><c> sore,</c>

00:42:46.619 --> 00:42:49.440
then<00:42:46.860><c> the</c><00:42:47.079><c> sons</c><00:42:47.340><c> of</c><00:42:47.619><c> Jacob</c><00:42:47.980><c> fell</c><00:42:48.320><c> upon</c><00:42:48.579><c> the</c><00:42:48.739><c> men</c><00:42:48.880><c> of</c><00:42:49.199><c> Shechem</c>

00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:51.420
and<00:42:49.800><c> slew</c><00:42:50.019><c> them.</c>

00:42:52.619 --> 00:42:56.699
And<00:42:52.920><c> him,</c><00:42:53.639><c> Paul</c><00:42:53.820><c> would</c><00:42:54.139><c> have</c><00:42:54.360><c> to</c><00:42:54.539><c> go</c><00:42:54.699><c> with</c><00:42:54.980><c> him,</c><00:42:55.900><c> and</c><00:42:56.179><c> he</c><00:42:56.460><c> took</c>

00:42:56.699 --> 00:42:59.480
and<00:42:57.380><c> circumcised</c><00:42:58.539><c> him.</c>

00:43:00.619 --> 00:43:02.800
But<00:43:01.099><c> that's</c><00:43:01.500><c> strange,</c><00:43:01.940><c> isn't</c><00:43:01.980><c> it?</c>

00:43:02.960 --> 00:43:04.980

00:44:07.320 --> 00:44:09.659
It's<00:44:07.519><c> Galatians</c><00:44:07.860><c> chapter</c><00:44:08.159><c> 2</c><00:44:08.480><c> and</c><00:44:08.639><c> verse</c><00:44:08.860><c> 3,</c><00:44:09.119><c> isn't</c><00:44:09.320><c> it,</c><00:44:09.440><c> that</c>

00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:19.019
Paul<00:44:15.679><c> did</c><00:44:16.019><c> not</c><00:44:16.340><c> demand</c><00:44:16.800><c> that</c><00:44:17.159><c> Titus</c><00:44:17.539><c> should</c><00:44:17.820><c> be</c><00:44:18.199><c> circumcised.</c>

00:44:20.940 --> 00:44:23.940
So<00:44:21.460><c> there's</c><00:44:21.980><c> a</c><00:44:22.019><c> difficulty</c><00:44:22.519><c> here,</c><00:44:22.940><c> isn't</c><00:44:23.099><c> there?</c>

00:44:24.300 --> 00:44:27.679
Timothy<00:44:24.500><c> is</c><00:44:24.840><c> circumcised,</c><00:44:25.980><c> Titus</c><00:44:26.179><c> isn't</c><00:44:26.559><c> circumcised.</c>

00:44:28.179 --> 00:44:30.280
They're<00:44:28.400><c> both</c><00:44:28.599><c> going</c><00:44:28.820><c> to</c><00:44:29.079><c> accompany</c><00:44:29.340><c> the</c><00:44:29.559><c> Apostle</c><00:44:29.900><c> Paul</c><00:44:30.119><c> on</c>

00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:31.360
the<00:44:30.519><c> work,</c>

00:44:31.579 --> 00:44:34.039
and<00:44:31.679><c> Paul</c><00:44:31.880><c> decides</c><00:44:32.320><c> in</c><00:44:32.500><c> the</c><00:44:32.639><c> one</c><00:44:32.840><c> case</c><00:44:33.079><c> he</c><00:44:33.179><c> will</c><00:44:33.480><c> circumcise</c>

00:44:34.039 --> 00:44:36.880
and<00:44:34.159><c> the</c><00:44:34.219><c> other</c><00:44:34.519><c> case</c><00:44:34.780><c> he</c><00:44:34.960><c> doesn't.</c>

00:44:37.500 --> 00:44:41.199
Now<00:44:37.820><c> you</c><00:44:37.900><c> could</c><00:44:38.219><c> say</c><00:44:39.019><c> that</c><00:44:39.679><c> he</c><00:44:40.119><c> realised</c><00:44:40.659><c> that</c><00:44:40.820><c> what</c><00:44:40.960><c> he</c><00:44:41.079><c> did</c>

00:44:41.199 --> 00:44:42.440
to<00:44:41.420><c> Timothy</c><00:44:41.679><c> was</c><00:44:41.980><c> wrong,</c>

00:44:42.519 --> 00:44:45.960
and<00:44:42.719><c> so</c><00:44:42.800><c> when</c><00:44:42.960><c> it</c><00:44:43.039><c> came</c><00:44:43.260><c> to</c><00:44:43.599><c> Titus,</c><00:44:44.019><c> he</c><00:44:44.159><c> didn't</c><00:44:44.440><c> do</c><00:44:44.699><c> it.</c>

00:44:46.519 --> 00:44:48.559
Now<00:44:46.780><c> that</c><00:44:46.960><c> may</c><00:44:47.159><c> be</c><00:44:47.300><c> the</c><00:44:47.460><c> case.</c>

00:44:49.039 --> 00:44:53.739
But<00:44:49.760><c> is</c><00:44:50.039><c> there</c><00:44:50.260><c> a</c><00:44:50.440><c> possibility</c><00:44:51.039><c> that</c><00:44:51.400><c> what</c><00:44:51.639><c> was</c><00:44:51.940><c> done</c><00:44:52.159><c> to</c><00:44:52.519><c> Timothy</c><00:44:52.900><c> was</c>

00:44:56.500 --> 00:44:59.079
Let's<00:44:56.820><c> just</c><00:44:57.099><c> examine</c><00:44:57.460><c> that.</c><00:44:57.920><c> Are</c><00:44:58.019><c> there</c><00:44:58.139><c> any</c><00:44:58.360><c> differences</c>
