No<00:11:40.059><c> one</c><00:11:40.200><c> will</c><00:11:40.320><c> be</c><00:11:40.500><c> coming</c><00:11:40.700><c> forward</c><00:11:41.039><c> to</c><00:11:41.240><c> smack</c><00:11:41.460><c> his</c><00:11:41.720><c> face</c><00:11:41.899><c> in</c><00:11:42.100><c> the</c><00:11:42.200><c> day</c><00:11:42.340><c> of</c>

his<00:11:42.659><c> glory,</c><00:11:43.139><c> brothers</c><00:11:43.320><c> and</c><00:11:43.539><c> sisters.</c>

00:11:43.980 --> 00:11:46.460
You<00:11:44.100><c> can</c><00:11:44.419><c> well</c><00:11:44.600><c> and</c><00:11:44.740><c> be</c><00:11:44.980><c> assured</c><00:11:45.320><c> of</c><00:11:45.500><c> that.</c>

00:11:46.620 --> 00:11:49.200
And<00:11:46.759><c> he</c><00:11:46.879><c> will</c><00:11:47.080><c> have</c><00:11:47.259><c> the</c><00:11:47.399><c> victory</c><00:11:47.779><c> in</c><00:11:48.039><c> the</c><00:11:48.220><c> end.</c>

00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:55.279
Now<00:11:51.580><c> Pilate,</c><00:11:51.980><c> of</c><00:11:52.039><c> course,</c><00:11:53.519><c> knowing</c><00:11:53.740><c> all</c><00:11:54.019><c> this</c><00:11:54.200><c> was</c><00:11:54.419><c> going</c><00:11:54.659><c> on,</c>

00:11:55.460 --> 00:11:56.100
as<00:11:55.659><c> we</c><00:11:55.899><c> say,</c>

00:11:56.240 --> 00:11:59.259

00:11:59.299 --> 00:12:00.820
So<00:11:59.419><c> we're</c><00:11:59.600><c> told</c><00:11:59.860><c> what</c><00:12:00.000><c> his</c><00:12:00.220><c> attitude</c><00:12:00.559><c> was.</c>

00:12:00.820 --> 00:12:03.500
Pilate<00:12:01.220><c> is</c><00:12:01.440><c> deeply</c><00:12:01.960><c> afraid</c><00:12:02.379><c> of</c><00:12:02.440><c> what's</c><00:12:02.679><c> going</c><00:12:03.039><c> on.</c>

00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:06.379
He<00:12:03.779><c> is</c><00:12:04.019><c> deeply</c><00:12:04.419><c> disturbed,</c><00:12:05.080><c> brothers</c><00:12:05.200><c> and</c><00:12:05.419><c> sisters.</c>

00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:10.539
We<00:12:06.740><c> don't</c><00:12:06.899><c> know</c><00:12:07.080><c> how,</c><00:12:08.080><c> whatever</c><00:12:08.580><c> that</c><00:12:09.220><c> depth</c><00:12:09.379><c> of</c><00:12:09.600><c> that</c><00:12:09.899><c> disturbing</c><00:12:10.120><c> is,</c><00:12:10.340><c> we</c>

00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:14.059
But<00:12:11.139><c> this</c><00:12:11.440><c> we</c><00:12:11.679><c> are</c><00:12:12.159><c> clear</c><00:12:12.399><c> that</c><00:12:12.620><c> he</c><00:12:12.820><c> was</c><00:12:13.080><c> disturbed,</c><00:12:13.559><c> his</c><00:12:13.759><c> wife</c>

00:12:17.460 --> 00:12:20.399
Now<00:12:17.659><c> in</c><00:12:17.820><c> Verse</c><00:12:18.100><c> 4,</c><00:12:18.899><c> Pilate</c><00:12:19.100><c> sought</c><00:12:19.480><c> then</c><00:12:19.720><c> another</c><00:12:19.960><c> opportunity.</c>

00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:22.220
He<00:12:20.559><c> had</c><00:12:20.740><c> another</c><00:12:21.159><c> idea.</c>

00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.399
He<00:12:22.980><c> makes</c><00:12:23.259><c> one</c><00:12:23.580><c> more</c><00:12:23.860><c> attempt,</c><00:12:24.480><c> or</c><00:12:24.659><c> a</c><00:12:24.740><c> couple</c><00:12:24.899><c> of</c><00:12:25.039><c> more</c><00:12:25.220><c> attempts.</c>

00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:28.279
This<00:12:25.580><c> is</c><00:12:26.120><c> the</c><00:12:26.159><c> second</c><00:12:26.580><c> to</c><00:12:26.720><c> last</c><00:12:26.960><c> attempt</c><00:12:27.259><c> really</c><00:12:27.500><c> he</c><00:12:27.659><c> makes.</c>

00:12:31.940 --> 00:12:32.440
said<00:12:32.120><c> unto</c><00:12:32.340><c> him,</c>

00:12:35.659 --> 00:12:38.639
Now<00:12:35.960><c> Rutherham</c><00:12:36.379><c> puts</c><00:12:36.639><c> that</c><00:12:36.960><c> as</c><00:12:37.159><c> the</c><00:12:37.379><c> Greek</c><00:12:37.580><c> has</c><00:12:37.779><c> it.</c>

You<00:12:42.820><c> know,</c><00:12:43.120><c> as</c><00:12:43.200><c> if</c><00:12:43.399><c> Pilate</c><00:12:43.740><c> appeared</c><00:12:44.120><c> on</c><00:12:44.340><c> the</c><00:12:44.480><c> balcony</c><00:12:44.759><c> there</c>

00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:32.799
And<00:16:30.580><c> then</c><00:16:30.720><c> they</c><00:16:30.919><c> had</c><00:16:31.080><c> to</c><00:16:31.320><c> carry</c><00:16:31.500><c> their</c><00:16:31.820><c> cross</c><00:16:32.100><c> and</c><00:16:32.559><c> around</c>

00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:34.019
their<00:16:33.080><c> neck,</c>

00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:36.019
they<00:16:34.559><c> hung</c><00:16:34.960><c> their</c><00:16:35.259><c> accusation.</c>

00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:39.200
So<00:16:36.700><c> this</c><00:16:36.980><c> poor</c><00:16:37.299><c> wretch</c><00:16:37.600><c> is</c><00:16:37.879><c> dragged</c><00:16:38.139><c> off</c><00:16:38.419><c> to</c><00:16:38.580><c> be</c><00:16:38.740><c> nailed</c><00:16:38.940><c> to</c><00:16:39.100><c> a</c>

00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:39.600
bit<00:16:39.299><c> of</c><00:16:39.460><c> wood.</c>

00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:42.720
And<00:16:40.080><c> around</c><00:16:40.340><c> his</c><00:16:40.600><c> neck</c><00:16:40.899><c> is</c><00:16:41.240><c> a</c><00:16:41.460><c> banner</c><00:16:41.600><c> saying,</c><00:16:42.120><c> look</c><00:16:42.179><c> at</c><00:16:42.379><c> this</c><00:16:42.580><c> chap.</c>

00:16:42.740 --> 00:16:45.720
He's<00:16:42.960><c> a</c><00:16:43.100><c> robber</c><00:16:43.379><c> or</c><00:16:43.440><c> he's</c><00:16:43.620><c> a</c><00:16:43.779><c> murderer</c><00:16:44.019><c> or</c><00:16:44.139><c> he's</c><00:16:44.279><c> this</c><00:16:44.440><c> or</c><00:16:44.620><c> that.</c>

00:16:46.460 --> 00:16:48.500
Crucify,<00:16:46.899><c> crucify,</c><00:16:47.419><c> crucify.</c>

00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:50.779
They<00:16:48.919><c> can't</c><00:16:49.279><c> think</c><00:16:49.460><c> of</c><00:16:49.580><c> anything</c><00:16:49.820><c> else,</c><00:16:50.240><c> brothers</c><00:16:50.320><c> and</c><00:16:50.580><c> sisters.</c>

00:16:50.980 --> 00:16:52.720
It<00:16:51.080><c> dominates</c><00:16:51.580><c> their</c><00:16:51.799><c> thinking.</c>

00:16:54.539 --> 00:16:56.379
And<00:16:54.620><c> it</c><00:16:54.740><c> ought</c><00:16:54.799><c> to</c><00:16:54.919><c> dominate</c><00:16:55.279><c> our</c><00:16:55.580><c> thinking.</c>

00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:59.100
Now<00:16:57.299><c> look,</c><00:16:57.600><c> brothers</c><00:16:57.740><c> and</c><00:16:57.980><c> sisters,</c><00:16:58.200><c> think</c><00:16:58.480><c> about</c><00:16:58.779><c> this.</c>

00:16:59.379 --> 00:17:02.259
I've<00:16:59.620><c> said</c><00:16:59.740><c> this</c><00:16:59.940><c> once,</c><00:17:00.240><c> I've</c><00:17:00.419><c> said</c><00:17:00.559><c> it</c><00:17:00.720><c> twice,</c><00:17:00.980><c> I'll</c><00:17:01.299><c> say</c><00:17:01.320><c> it</c><00:17:01.500><c> again.</c>

00:17:02.940 --> 00:17:13.519
Peter<00:17:03.779><c> said</c><00:17:04.000><c> this,</c><00:17:06.259><c> he</c><00:17:06.339><c> bore</c><00:17:06.980><c> our</c><00:17:09.359><c> sins</c><00:17:09.799><c> in</c><00:17:10.779><c> his</c><00:17:11.920><c> own</c><00:17:13.099><c> body.</c>

00:17:13.920 --> 00:17:16.400
He<00:17:13.920><c> didn't</c><00:17:14.299><c> bear</c><00:17:14.740><c> his</c><00:17:15.119><c> own</c><00:17:15.480><c> sins.</c>

00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:22.019
He<00:17:17.259><c> bore</c><00:17:17.759><c> our</c><00:17:18.859><c> sins</c><00:17:19.359><c> in</c><00:17:20.200><c> his</c><00:17:20.759><c> own</c><00:17:21.140><c> body.</c>

00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:24.339
They<00:17:22.259><c> want</c><00:17:22.500><c> to</c><00:17:22.680><c> see</c><00:17:22.759><c> that</c><00:17:22.940><c> man</c><00:17:23.180><c> crucified.</c>

00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:28.119
Now<00:17:25.279><c> what</c><00:17:25.460><c> God</c><00:17:25.700><c> did</c><00:17:25.920><c> was</c><00:17:26.099><c> to</c><00:17:26.279><c> allow</c><00:17:26.519><c> that.</c>

00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:31.480
Because<00:17:29.119><c> you</c><00:17:29.259><c> see,</c><00:17:29.720><c> taking</c><00:17:30.039><c> Peter's</c><00:17:30.619><c> comment,</c><00:17:31.019><c> what</c><00:17:31.059><c> God</c><00:17:31.279><c> was</c>

00:17:31.480 --> 00:17:31.920
going<00:17:31.619><c> to</c><00:17:31.779><c> do</c>

00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:34.359
was<00:17:32.059><c> going</c><00:17:32.440><c> to</c><00:17:32.440><c> demonstrate</c><00:17:32.940><c> in</c><00:17:33.240><c> that</c><00:17:33.460><c> man</c><00:17:33.680><c> on</c><00:17:33.880><c> the</c><00:17:34.099><c> cross,</c>

00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:35.920
brothers<00:17:34.680><c> and</c><00:17:34.900><c> sisters,</c>

00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:38.400
in<00:17:36.920><c> a</c><00:17:37.519><c> ghastly</c><00:17:38.099><c> death.</c>

00:17:38.539 --> 00:17:41.539
It<00:17:38.720><c> was</c><00:17:39.079><c> absolutely</c><00:17:40.059><c> a</c><00:17:40.720><c> ghastly</c><00:17:41.240><c> death.</c>

00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:44.660
He's<00:17:42.000><c> going</c><00:17:42.059><c> to</c><00:17:42.240><c> demonstrate</c><00:17:42.759><c> his</c><00:17:43.180><c> attitude</c><00:17:43.700><c> to</c><00:17:43.980><c> your</c><00:17:44.359><c> sins</c>

00:17:44.660 --> 00:17:46.160
and<00:17:44.940><c> my</c><00:17:45.240><c> sins.</c>

00:17:46.619 --> 00:17:49.680
They<00:17:47.019><c> are</c><00:17:47.640><c> ghastly</c><00:17:48.279><c> in</c><00:17:48.380><c> God's</c><00:17:48.819><c> view.</c>

00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:52.559
Can<00:17:51.119><c> you</c><00:17:51.240><c> understand</c><00:17:51.579><c> what</c><00:17:51.819><c> I'm</c><00:17:51.839><c> saying?</c>

00:17:53.019 --> 00:17:56.099
The<00:17:53.339><c> measure</c><00:17:53.660><c> of</c><00:17:53.880><c> his</c><00:17:54.200><c> sufferings</c><00:17:54.740><c> is</c><00:17:54.980><c> the</c><00:17:55.160><c> measure</c><00:17:55.640><c> of</c>

00:17:56.099 --> 00:17:57.299
Yahweh's<00:17:56.680><c> attitude</c>

00:17:57.299 --> 00:18:01.559
to<00:17:57.619><c> our</c><00:17:58.160><c> sins,</c><00:17:58.519><c> brothers</c><00:17:58.819><c> and</c><00:17:59.039><c> sisters,</c><00:17:59.700><c> they're</c><00:18:00.099><c> ghastly.</c>

00:18:02.539 --> 00:18:05.059
And<00:18:02.619><c> you</c><00:18:02.700><c> know</c><00:18:02.819><c> how</c><00:18:02.980><c> he</c><00:18:03.099><c> did</c><00:18:03.299><c> it</c><00:18:03.759><c> in</c><00:18:04.140><c> the</c><00:18:04.319><c> end,</c><00:18:04.500><c> how</c><00:18:04.579><c> it</c><00:18:04.660><c> was</c><00:18:04.880><c> done?</c>

00:18:05.299 --> 00:18:08.180
You<00:18:05.519><c> just</c><00:18:06.200><c> think</c><00:18:06.619><c> this</c><00:18:06.900><c> through</c><00:18:07.059><c> logically.</c>

00:18:08.660 --> 00:18:12.859
God<00:18:08.940><c> waited</c><00:18:09.380><c> to</c><00:18:09.759><c> the</c><00:18:09.900><c> point</c><00:18:10.099><c> of</c><00:18:10.299><c> history</c><00:18:10.819><c> in</c><00:18:11.160><c> the</c><00:18:11.400><c> fullness</c><00:18:11.660><c> of</c><00:18:12.000><c> time.</c>

00:18:13.259 --> 00:18:16.200
Or<00:18:13.420><c> as</c><00:18:13.579><c> Paul</c><00:18:13.759><c> says</c><00:18:14.059><c> in</c><00:18:14.279><c> Romans,</c><00:18:14.740><c> in</c><00:18:15.279><c> due</c><00:18:15.680><c> time.</c>

00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:17.859
It<00:18:16.779><c> was</c><00:18:16.960><c> a</c><00:18:17.180><c> special</c><00:18:17.440><c> time.</c>

00:18:18.019 --> 00:18:19.559
What<00:18:18.160><c> was</c><00:18:18.319><c> that</c><00:18:18.599><c> time</c><00:18:18.839><c> for?</c>

00:18:19.779 --> 00:18:21.460
What<00:18:20.140><c> triggered</c><00:18:20.500><c> off</c><00:18:20.759><c> the</c><00:18:20.920><c> crucifixion?</c>

00:18:21.779 --> 00:18:23.559
Oh,<00:18:21.940><c> we</c><00:18:22.000><c> say</c><00:18:22.180><c> prophecy,</c><00:18:22.920><c> the</c><00:18:23.039><c> 70</c><00:18:23.299><c> weeks.</c>

00:18:23.779 --> 00:18:24.500
We<00:18:23.920><c> know</c><00:18:24.099><c> all</c><00:18:24.299><c> that.</c>

00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:26.420
But<00:18:24.740><c> brothers</c><00:18:24.920><c> and</c><00:18:25.119><c> sisters,</c><00:18:25.140><c> there</c><00:18:25.220><c> was</c><00:18:25.440><c> a</c><00:18:25.599><c> morality</c><00:18:25.960><c> to</c><00:18:26.220><c> be</c>

00:18:26.420 --> 00:18:26.980
fulfilled<00:18:26.779><c> here.</c>

00:18:26.980 --> 00:18:29.579
It<00:18:27.079><c> wasn't</c><00:18:27.359><c> just</c><00:18:27.759><c> prophecy</c><00:18:28.019><c> concerning</c><00:18:28.519><c> years</c><00:18:28.900><c> and</c><00:18:29.059><c> days</c><00:18:29.400><c> and</c>

00:18:29.579 --> 00:18:30.259
hours<00:18:29.880><c> and</c><00:18:30.119><c> time.</c>

00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:32.900
There<00:18:30.859><c> was</c><00:18:31.059><c> a</c><00:18:31.279><c> moral</c><00:18:31.500><c> about</c><00:18:31.759><c> this.</c>

00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:37.920
And<00:18:33.859><c> God</c><00:18:33.960><c> is</c><00:18:34.140><c> going</c><00:18:34.259><c> to</c><00:18:34.380><c> show</c><00:18:34.579><c> to</c><00:18:34.740><c> the</c><00:18:34.920><c> world</c><00:18:35.440><c> the</c><00:18:36.019><c> ghastly</c><00:18:36.579><c> nature</c><00:18:36.920><c> of</c><00:18:37.200><c> sin.</c>

00:18:39.119 --> 00:18:42.539
So<00:18:39.259><c> he</c><00:18:39.440><c> waits</c><00:18:39.900><c> until</c><00:18:40.240><c> a</c><00:18:40.400><c> time</c><00:18:40.579><c> in</c><00:18:40.819><c> history</c><00:18:40.960><c> when</c><00:18:41.180><c> Jesus</c><00:18:41.599><c> said,</c>

00:18:42.819 --> 00:18:45.599
fill<00:18:43.059><c> up</c><00:18:43.440><c> the</c><00:18:43.720><c> measure</c><00:18:44.039><c> of</c><00:18:44.359><c> your</c><00:18:44.599><c> fathers.</c>

00:18:46.339 --> 00:18:50.660
So<00:18:46.539><c> he</c><00:18:46.740><c> waited</c><00:18:47.000><c> until</c><00:18:47.400><c> men</c><00:18:47.740><c> in</c><00:18:47.900><c> Israel</c><00:18:48.299><c> got</c><00:18:48.640><c> to</c><00:18:48.920><c> the</c><00:18:49.140><c> very</c><00:18:49.900><c> worst</c><00:18:50.440><c> of</c>

00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:53.900
Never<00:18:51.859><c> been</c><00:18:52.660><c> worse.</c>

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:58.359
And<00:18:55.519><c> then</c><00:18:55.759><c> he</c><00:18:55.900><c> allowed</c><00:18:56.220><c> them,</c><00:18:57.039><c> by</c><00:18:57.279><c> the</c><00:18:57.500><c> determinant</c><00:18:57.859><c> counsel</c>

00:18:58.359 --> 00:18:59.500
and<00:18:58.640><c> foreknowledge</c><00:18:59.059><c> of</c><00:18:59.220><c> God,</c>

00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:02.700
he<00:19:00.000><c> allowed</c><00:19:00.259><c> them</c><00:19:00.559><c> to</c><00:19:00.859><c> administer</c><00:19:01.240><c> that</c><00:19:01.559><c> punishment</c>

00:19:02.819 --> 00:19:05.680
so<00:19:03.339><c> that</c><00:19:03.500><c> all</c><00:19:03.720><c> you</c><00:19:03.880><c> see</c><00:19:04.019><c> up</c><00:19:04.200><c> on</c><00:19:04.339><c> that</c><00:19:04.579><c> cross</c><00:19:04.819><c> came</c><00:19:05.200><c> as</c><00:19:05.400><c> a</c><00:19:05.420><c> result</c>

00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:06.599
of<00:19:05.940><c> these</c><00:19:06.200><c> men</c>

00:19:06.599 --> 00:19:09.160
and<00:19:06.980><c> they're</c><00:19:07.200><c> the</c><00:19:07.299><c> most</c><00:19:07.680><c> ghastly</c><00:19:08.259><c> people</c><00:19:08.619><c> that</c><00:19:08.779><c> you've</c><00:19:08.900><c> ever</c>

00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:09.720
seen<00:19:09.279><c> in</c><00:19:09.420><c> your</c><00:19:09.599><c> life.</c>

00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:13.819
Well,<00:19:10.019><c> Peter</c><00:19:10.140><c> says</c><00:19:10.420><c> he</c><00:19:10.680><c> brought</c><00:19:10.880><c> our</c><00:19:11.500><c> sins</c><00:19:11.920><c> in</c><00:19:12.559><c> his</c><00:19:12.940><c> body.</c>

00:19:14.819 --> 00:19:16.460
And<00:19:15.059><c> we've</c><00:19:15.279><c> got</c><00:19:15.359><c> to</c><00:19:15.500><c> come</c><00:19:15.619><c> to</c><00:19:15.740><c> grips</c><00:19:15.900><c> with</c><00:19:16.059><c> that,</c><00:19:16.359><c> brothers</c>

00:19:16.460 --> 00:19:17.619
and<00:19:16.700><c> sisters.</c>

00:19:17.859 --> 00:19:21.240
So<00:19:18.059><c> the</c><00:19:18.180><c> next</c><00:19:18.480><c> time</c><00:19:18.980><c> we</c><00:19:19.839><c> think</c><00:19:20.039><c> about</c><00:19:20.319><c> doing</c><00:19:20.599><c> something</c><00:19:20.940><c> wrong</c>

00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:22.779
or<00:19:21.440><c> thinking</c><00:19:21.759><c> something</c><00:19:22.140><c> wrong,</c>

00:19:22.779 --> 00:19:25.819
or<00:19:23.720><c> letting</c><00:19:24.000><c> bitterness</c><00:19:24.440><c> arise</c><00:19:24.819><c> in</c><00:19:24.960><c> our</c><00:19:25.160><c> hearts</c><00:19:25.460><c> or</c><00:19:25.579><c> whatever</c>

00:19:25.819 --> 00:19:26.839
it<00:19:26.039><c> might</c><00:19:26.140><c> be,</c>

00:19:26.980 --> 00:19:30.420
just<00:19:27.319><c> stop</c><00:19:27.519><c> in</c><00:19:27.660><c> your</c><00:19:27.900><c> tracks</c><00:19:28.140><c> and</c><00:19:28.339><c> think</c><00:19:28.759><c> of</c><00:19:29.359><c> the</c><00:19:29.579><c> offence</c><00:19:30.039><c> that</c><00:19:30.259><c> you</c>

00:19:30.420 --> 00:19:32.000
are<00:19:30.619><c> committing</c><00:19:30.960><c> against</c><00:19:31.380><c> the</c><00:19:31.660><c> Creator</c>

00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:34.880
because<00:19:32.539><c> it's</c><00:19:33.220><c> a</c><00:19:33.420><c> ghastly</c><00:19:33.880><c> thing.</c>

00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:38.359
He<00:19:35.759><c> wasn't</c><00:19:36.019><c> up</c><00:19:36.259><c> there</c><00:19:36.420><c> for</c><00:19:36.579><c> anything</c><00:19:36.819><c> he'd</c><00:19:37.039><c> done</c><00:19:37.259><c> wrong.</c>

00:19:38.940 --> 00:19:42.640
But<00:19:39.019><c> you</c><00:19:39.119><c> see,</c><00:19:39.299><c> it</c><00:19:39.339><c> could</c><00:19:39.559><c> only</c><00:19:39.759><c> be</c><00:19:39.940><c> done</c><00:19:40.220><c> in</c><00:19:40.839><c> his</c><00:19:41.500><c> body</c>

00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:49.059
because<00:19:44.160><c> his</c><00:19:44.599><c> body</c><00:19:45.180><c> is</c><00:19:46.460><c> your</c><00:19:46.799><c> body</c><00:19:47.220><c> and</c><00:19:47.640><c> my</c><00:19:47.960><c> body.</c>

00:19:50.779 --> 00:19:54.359
And<00:19:51.259><c> the</c><00:19:51.440><c> Son</c><00:19:51.700><c> of</c><00:19:51.880><c> God</c><00:19:52.079><c> had</c><00:19:52.240><c> to</c><00:19:52.400><c> go</c><00:19:52.579><c> through</c><00:19:52.799><c> that</c><00:19:53.059><c> procedure,</c>

00:19:55.180 --> 00:19:59.140
saving<00:19:55.660><c> himself</c><00:19:56.140><c> to</c><00:19:57.599><c> bring</c><00:19:57.799><c> everybody</c><00:19:58.200><c> with</c><00:19:58.400><c> him.</c>

00:19:59.579 --> 00:20:02.920
It<00:19:59.579><c> was</c><00:19:59.779><c> a</c><00:19:59.920><c> ghastly</c><00:20:00.339><c> thing,</c><00:20:00.579><c> wasn't</c><00:20:00.819><c> it?</c><00:20:01.220><c> Never</c><00:20:01.559><c> forget</c><00:20:01.960><c> that.</c>

00:20:03.420 --> 00:20:06.059
So<00:20:03.720><c> Pilate</c><00:20:03.940><c> brings</c><00:20:04.200><c> him</c><00:20:04.359><c> out</c><00:20:04.579><c> looking</c><00:20:04.819><c> like</c><00:20:05.140><c> that.</c>

00:20:06.680 --> 00:20:07.779
And<00:20:06.740><c> he</c><00:20:06.779><c> says,</c><00:20:07.099><c> Behold</c><00:20:07.339><c> the</c><00:20:07.500><c> man!</c>

00:20:07.980 --> 00:20:09.740
And<00:20:08.039><c> when</c><00:20:08.259><c> the</c><00:20:08.380><c> chief</c><00:20:08.579><c> priests</c><00:20:08.839><c> shouted</c><00:20:09.099><c> out</c><00:20:09.299><c> and</c><00:20:09.480><c> chanted</c>

00:20:09.740 --> 00:20:10.599
crucify<00:20:10.299><c> him,</c>

00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:13.460
Pilate<00:20:11.079><c> says,</c><00:20:11.339><c> I</c><00:20:11.480><c> don't</c><00:20:11.779><c> find</c><00:20:11.920><c> any</c><00:20:12.180><c> fault</c><00:20:12.460><c> in</c><00:20:12.539><c> him!</c>

00:20:14.019 --> 00:20:16.819
He<00:20:14.259><c> doesn't</c><00:20:14.500><c> find</c><00:20:14.720><c> any</c><00:20:15.019><c> fault</c><00:20:15.220><c> in</c><00:20:15.299><c> him,</c><00:20:15.559><c> brothers</c><00:20:15.660><c> and</c><00:20:15.880><c> sisters.</c>

00:20:17.420 --> 00:20:20.019
That's<00:20:17.980><c> the</c><00:20:18.319><c> fourth</c><00:20:18.859><c> time.</c>

00:20:20.240 --> 00:20:22.359
In<00:20:20.339><c> verse</c><00:20:20.619><c> four,</c><00:20:21.400><c> the</c><00:20:21.579><c> fourth</c><00:20:21.839><c> time.</c>

00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:25.200
In<00:20:22.579><c> verse</c><00:20:22.859><c> six,</c><00:20:23.579><c> the</c><00:20:23.660><c> fifth</c><00:20:24.039><c> time.</c>

00:20:25.339 --> 00:20:26.160
Five<00:20:25.759><c> times.</c>

00:20:26.299 --> 00:20:28.299
The<00:20:26.299><c> number</c><00:20:26.680><c> of</c><00:20:26.960><c> God's</c><00:20:27.440><c> grace.</c>

00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:31.440
This<00:20:28.579><c> Roman</c><00:20:29.039><c> governor</c><00:20:29.599><c> declares</c><00:20:30.359><c> that</c><00:20:30.619><c> that</c><00:20:30.799><c> man</c><00:20:31.019><c> has</c><00:20:31.279><c> done</c>

00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:33.700
no<00:20:31.940><c> wrong</c><00:20:32.359><c> at</c><00:20:32.680><c> all.</c>

00:20:34.180 --> 00:20:35.640
Five<00:20:34.519><c> times.</c>

00:20:36.700 --> 00:20:38.000
And<00:20:36.859><c> so</c><00:20:36.960><c> they</c><00:20:37.099><c> want</c><00:20:37.240><c> to</c><00:20:37.380><c> crucify</c><00:20:37.799><c> him.</c>

00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:39.559
He<00:20:38.180><c> says,</c><00:20:38.460><c> All</c><00:20:38.539><c> right.</c>

00:20:39.900 --> 00:20:40.940
This<00:20:40.079><c> is</c><00:20:40.319><c> Pilate's</c><00:20:40.660><c> attitude.</c>

00:20:41.019 --> 00:20:42.880
And<00:20:41.140><c> you</c><00:20:41.200><c> can</c><00:20:41.420><c> see</c><00:20:41.559><c> the</c><00:20:41.839><c> exasperation</c><00:20:42.500><c> here.</c>

00:20:43.180 --> 00:20:44.359
He<00:20:43.339><c> says,</c><00:20:43.579><c> That's</c><00:20:43.819><c> what</c><00:20:43.960><c> you</c><00:20:44.180><c> want?</c>

00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:46.960
I<00:20:44.900><c> don't</c><00:20:45.299><c> find</c><00:20:45.680><c> any</c><00:20:46.140><c> fault</c><00:20:46.380><c> in</c><00:20:46.539><c> him.</c>

00:20:47.400 --> 00:20:49.000
Now,<00:20:47.539><c> in</c><00:20:47.640><c> other</c><00:20:47.859><c> words,</c><00:20:48.140><c> what</c><00:20:48.240><c> he's</c><00:20:48.400><c> saying,</c><00:20:48.640><c> and</c><00:20:48.700><c> they</c><00:20:48.799><c> got</c>

00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:49.480
the<00:20:49.180><c> point.</c>

00:20:49.779 --> 00:20:51.640
They<00:20:50.000><c> got</c><00:20:50.180><c> the</c><00:20:50.319><c> point</c><00:20:50.440><c> very</c><00:20:50.779><c> clearly.</c>

00:20:51.660 --> 00:20:53.200
The<00:20:51.779><c> point</c><00:20:51.940><c> was</c><00:20:52.160><c> this.</c>

00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:54.640
He<00:20:53.819><c> says,</c><00:20:54.240><c> You</c><00:20:54.339><c> do</c><00:20:54.519><c> it.</c>

00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:55.339
You<00:20:54.819><c> go</c><00:20:55.019><c> and</c><00:20:55.160><c> do</c><00:20:55.240><c> it.</c>

00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:57.059
But<00:20:55.460><c> you're</c><00:20:55.579><c> not</c><00:20:55.700><c> going</c><00:20:55.799><c> to</c><00:20:55.859><c> have</c><00:20:55.960><c> my</c><00:20:56.200><c> sanction.</c>

00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:01.599
Oh,<00:20:59.119><c> that's</c><00:20:59.500><c> serious</c><00:20:59.759><c> because</c><00:20:59.940><c> they</c><00:21:00.339><c> have</c><00:21:00.519><c> to</c><00:21:00.660><c> have</c><00:21:00.839><c> that.</c>

00:21:02.099 --> 00:21:05.579
They<00:21:02.420><c> know</c><00:21:02.579><c> this</c><00:21:02.779><c> thing</c><00:21:02.940><c> could</c><00:21:03.279><c> blow</c><00:21:03.579><c> up</c><00:21:03.680><c> in</c><00:21:03.799><c> their</c><00:21:03.960><c> face</c><00:21:04.180><c> without</c><00:21:04.500><c> his</c><00:21:04.700><c> sanction.</c>

00:21:06.299 --> 00:21:08.299
Pilate<00:21:06.539><c> says,</c><00:21:06.839><c> I</c><00:21:06.859><c> want</c><00:21:07.019><c> nothing</c><00:21:07.240><c> to</c><00:21:07.380><c> do</c><00:21:07.420><c> with</c><00:21:07.559><c> it.</c>

00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:10.960
My<00:21:08.839><c> decision</c><00:21:09.259><c> is</c><00:21:09.519><c> that</c><00:21:09.619><c> he's</c><00:21:09.940><c> unworthy</c><00:21:10.319><c> of</c><00:21:10.519><c> crucifixion.</c>

00:21:11.059 --> 00:21:11.619
You<00:21:11.279><c> do</c><00:21:11.460><c> it.</c>

00:21:11.619 --> 00:21:13.279
You<00:21:11.779><c> go</c><00:21:12.000><c> and</c><00:21:12.099><c> do</c><00:21:12.319><c> it.</c>

00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:15.440
Now,<00:21:14.019><c> the</c><00:21:14.079><c> Jews</c><00:21:14.259><c> are</c><00:21:14.480><c> desperate.</c>

00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:17.160

00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:23.859
We<00:21:22.619><c> have</c><00:21:23.339><c> a</c><00:21:23.579><c> law.</c>

00:21:24.140 --> 00:21:24.880
We've<00:21:24.480><c> got</c><00:21:24.640><c> a</c><00:21:24.759><c> law.</c>

00:21:27.140 --> 00:21:28.779
You're<00:21:27.380><c> the</c><00:21:27.539><c> Roman</c><00:21:27.740><c> governor.</c>

00:21:30.180 --> 00:21:31.839
You<00:21:30.400><c> represent</c><00:21:30.859><c> Rome.</c>

00:21:32.019 --> 00:21:33.220

00:21:33.500 --> 00:21:35.220
But<00:21:33.759><c> remember</c><00:21:34.119><c> this.</c>

00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:39.519
Your<00:21:35.859><c> government,</c><00:21:36.640><c> Caesar,</c><00:21:37.660><c> has</c><00:21:37.960><c> sanctioned</c><00:21:38.680><c> Judaism.</c>

00:21:40.420 --> 00:21:45.500

00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:47.640
Now,<00:21:46.599><c> he</c><00:21:46.619><c> can't</c><00:21:46.920><c> deny</c><00:21:47.119><c> that.</c>

00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:51.740

00:21:52.940 --> 00:21:55.720
So<00:21:53.099><c> here</c><00:21:53.319><c> is</c><00:21:53.539><c> a</c><00:21:53.759><c> sanctioned</c><00:21:54.500><c> religion</c><00:21:54.779><c> of</c><00:21:54.980><c> Rome.</c>

00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:57.000
We've<00:21:56.519><c> got</c><00:21:56.680><c> a</c><00:21:56.799><c> law.</c>

00:21:57.119 --> 00:22:00.500
You've<00:21:57.539><c> got</c><00:21:57.619><c> to</c><00:21:57.759><c> stand</c><00:21:58.059><c> by</c><00:21:58.279><c> because</c><00:21:58.500><c> you've</c><00:21:58.799><c> sanctioned</c><00:21:59.160><c> it.</c>

00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:03.500
You<00:22:01.240><c> cannot</c><00:22:01.740><c> condemn</c><00:22:02.099><c> him</c><00:22:02.259><c> for</c><00:22:02.500><c> treason.</c>

00:22:03.720 --> 00:22:06.259
We<00:22:04.099><c> will</c><00:22:04.440><c> condemn</c><00:22:04.799><c> him</c><00:22:05.039><c> for</c><00:22:05.220><c> blasphemy.</c>

00:22:07.700 --> 00:22:10.859
So,<00:22:08.240><c> you</c><00:22:08.240><c> see,</c><00:22:09.019><c> they're</c><00:22:09.019><c> going</c><00:22:09.579><c> to</c><00:22:09.619><c> be</c><00:22:09.779><c> the</c><00:22:09.960><c> governor</c><00:22:10.160><c> now.</c>

00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:13.759
They're<00:22:11.299><c> going</c><00:22:11.400><c> to</c><00:22:11.500><c> tell</c><00:22:11.759><c> Pilate</c><00:22:12.039><c> what</c><00:22:12.220><c> the</c><00:22:12.440><c> decision</c><00:22:12.640><c> is.</c>

00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:15.240
It's<00:22:14.400><c> according</c><00:22:14.680><c> to</c><00:22:14.839><c> their</c><00:22:15.019><c> law.</c>

00:22:15.299 --> 00:22:16.440
And<00:22:15.380><c> they</c><00:22:15.519><c> would</c><00:22:15.779><c> quote</c><00:22:16.039><c> their</c><00:22:16.259><c> law.</c>

00:22:16.579 --> 00:22:18.859
It<00:22:16.579><c> says</c><00:22:16.880><c> in</c><00:22:17.019><c> Leviticus</c><00:22:17.359><c> 24</c><00:22:17.859><c> and</c><00:22:18.019><c> verse</c><00:22:18.200><c> 16,</c>

00:22:24.480 --> 00:22:28.759
And<00:22:24.619><c> this</c><00:22:24.900><c> man</c><00:22:25.220><c> is</c><00:22:25.500><c> guilty</c><00:22:25.740><c> of</c><00:22:25.980><c> blasphemy</c><00:22:26.599><c> because</c><00:22:28.039><c> he</c><00:22:28.240><c> said</c>

00:22:37.740 --> 00:22:39.640

It<00:22:40.259><c> absolutely</c><00:22:41.000><c> shocked</c><00:22:41.619><c> him.</c>

00:22:42.779 --> 00:22:46.559
He<00:22:42.960><c> had</c><00:22:43.180><c> come</c><00:22:43.299><c> out</c><00:22:43.480><c> and</c><00:22:43.579><c> he</c><00:22:43.740><c> says,</c><00:22:44.259><c> behold,</c><00:22:45.319><c> the</c><00:22:45.539><c> man.</c>

00:22:47.099 --> 00:22:51.660

00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:24.519
We<00:24:21.180><c> say,</c><00:24:21.400><c> and</c><00:24:21.460><c> we</c><00:24:21.599><c> say</c><00:24:21.779><c> truly,</c><00:24:22.720><c> he</c><00:24:22.880><c> was</c><00:24:23.079><c> in</c><00:24:23.259><c> the</c><00:24:23.539><c> mind</c><00:24:23.900><c> of</c><00:24:24.059><c> the</c><00:24:24.240><c> Father.</c>

00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:26.700
Could<00:24:24.859><c> you</c><00:24:25.000><c> imagine</c><00:24:25.259><c> what</c><00:24:25.420><c> that</c><00:24:25.700><c> would</c><00:24:25.799><c> mean?</c>

00:24:28.359 --> 00:24:30.240
You<00:24:28.839><c> have</c><00:24:29.119><c> a</c><00:24:29.259><c> mind,</c><00:24:29.480><c> I've</c><00:24:29.740><c> got</c><00:24:29.880><c> a</c><00:24:30.019><c> mind.</c>

00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:35.019
We<00:24:30.460><c> are</c><00:24:30.700><c> able</c><00:24:30.940><c> to</c><00:24:31.279><c> almost</c><00:24:31.720><c> make</c><00:24:32.359><c> things</c><00:24:32.859><c> invisible</c><00:24:33.579><c> real.</c>

00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:37.160
Faith<00:24:36.500><c> can</c><00:24:36.720><c> do</c><00:24:36.880><c> that.</c>

00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:39.000
It<00:24:37.400><c> can</c><00:24:37.700><c> close</c><00:24:37.940><c> the</c><00:24:38.180><c> future</c><00:24:38.400><c> with</c><00:24:38.660><c> reality.</c>

00:24:39.059 --> 00:24:41.200
We<00:24:39.259><c> can</c><00:24:39.460><c> do</c><00:24:39.660><c> that</c><00:24:39.819><c> in</c><00:24:40.059><c> our</c><00:24:40.259><c> mind.</c>

00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:47.319
What<00:24:42.220><c> was</c><00:24:42.359><c> it</c><00:24:42.619><c> like</c><00:24:43.119><c> that</c><00:24:45.019><c> he</c><00:24:45.200><c> was</c><00:24:45.359><c> in</c><00:24:45.519><c> the</c><00:24:45.839><c> mind</c><00:24:46.220><c> of</c><00:24:46.380><c> the</c><00:24:46.559><c> Father?</c>

00:24:48.660 --> 00:24:51.119
We<00:24:49.079><c> could</c><00:24:49.319><c> never</c><00:24:49.619><c> plumb</c><00:24:50.240><c> the</c><00:24:50.359><c> depths</c><00:24:50.539><c> of</c><00:24:50.779><c> that.</c>

00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:53.019
He<00:24:51.599><c> had</c><00:24:51.779><c> no</c><00:24:52.059><c> corporeal</c><00:24:52.619><c> existence.</c>

Of<00:24:53.259><c> course</c><00:24:53.400><c> he</c><00:24:53.480><c> didn't.</c>

00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:54.700
He<00:24:53.900><c> was</c><00:24:54.099><c> born</c><00:24:54.299><c> of</c><00:24:54.519><c> Mary.</c>

00:24:54.700 --> 00:24:57.019
That's<00:24:54.880><c> when</c><00:24:55.119><c> his</c><00:24:55.579><c> life</c><00:24:55.819><c> started.</c>

00:24:57.619 --> 00:25:00.539
But<00:24:57.680><c> he</c><00:24:57.759><c> had</c><00:24:57.940><c> a</c><00:24:58.079><c> glory</c><00:24:58.279><c> with</c><00:24:58.480><c> the</c><00:24:58.619><c> Father</c><00:24:58.880><c> before</c><00:24:59.200><c> the</c><00:24:59.400><c> world</c><00:24:59.619><c> was.</c>

00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:03.279
And<00:25:01.640><c> that</c><00:25:01.759><c> takes</c><00:25:02.039><c> some</c><00:25:02.339><c> plumbing,</c><00:25:02.779><c> brothers</c><00:25:02.920><c> and</c><00:25:03.099><c> sisters.</c>

00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:04.920
It<00:25:03.359><c> takes</c><00:25:03.539><c> some</c><00:25:03.839><c> understanding.</c>

00:25:05.480 --> 00:25:06.940
They<00:25:05.660><c> never</c><00:25:05.859><c> had</c><00:25:06.000><c> any</c><00:25:06.220><c> idea</c><00:25:06.559><c> about</c><00:25:06.799><c> it.</c>

They<00:25:07.140><c> never</c><00:25:07.240><c> had</c><00:25:07.380><c> a</c><00:25:07.660><c> clue</c><00:25:07.900><c> about</c><00:25:08.160><c> that.</c>

00:25:09.420 --> 00:25:10.460
Pardot<00:25:09.619><c> wants</c><00:25:09.859><c> to</c><00:25:09.980><c> know</c><00:25:10.140><c> about</c><00:25:10.319><c> it.</c>

00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:11.619
Where<00:25:11.079><c> did</c><00:25:11.200><c> he</c><00:25:11.259><c> come</c><00:25:11.500><c> from?</c>

00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:13.259
Where<00:25:11.819><c> did</c><00:25:11.920><c> he</c><00:25:12.019><c> come</c><00:25:12.240><c> from?</c>

00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:15.839
And<00:25:14.279><c> he</c><00:25:14.339><c> doesn't</c><00:25:14.599><c> answer</c><00:25:14.880><c> that</c><00:25:15.400><c> question.</c>

00:25:16.039 --> 00:25:18.339
Jesus<00:25:16.440><c> just</c><00:25:16.900><c> remains</c><00:25:17.200><c> silent.</c>

00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:20.839
He<00:25:19.079><c> doesn't</c><00:25:19.359><c> say</c><00:25:19.559><c> Jesus</c><00:25:19.900><c> gave</c><00:25:20.140><c> him</c><00:25:20.359><c> no</c><00:25:20.640><c> answer.</c>

Why<00:25:21.079><c> didn't</c><00:25:21.339><c> he?</c>

00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:23.880
He<00:25:22.200><c> wouldn't</c><00:25:22.500><c> answer</c><00:25:22.759><c> Herod</c><00:25:23.000><c> for</c><00:25:23.140><c> obvious</c><00:25:23.460><c> reasons.</c>

00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:25.579
But<00:25:24.200><c> he</c><00:25:24.279><c> had</c><00:25:24.579><c> answered</c><00:25:24.819><c> Pilate</c><00:25:25.200><c> before.</c>

00:25:25.579 --> 00:25:26.920
Why<00:25:25.759><c> didn't</c><00:25:25.960><c> he</c><00:25:26.099><c> answer</c><00:25:26.299><c> that</c><00:25:26.500><c> question?</c>

00:25:27.140 --> 00:25:28.180
Because,<00:25:27.559><c> brothers</c><00:25:27.680><c> and</c><00:25:27.920><c> sisters,</c>

00:25:29.779 --> 00:25:32.720
All<00:25:29.940><c> he</c><00:25:30.160><c> needed</c><00:25:30.400><c> to</c><00:25:30.619><c> do</c><00:25:30.720><c> was</c><00:25:30.859><c> keep</c><00:25:31.059><c> looking</c><00:25:31.319><c> at</c><00:25:31.519><c> him.</c>

00:25:34.059 --> 00:25:36.099
Just<00:25:34.400><c> kept</c><00:25:34.619><c> looking</c><00:25:34.859><c> at</c><00:25:35.059><c> him.</c>

00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:38.700
Can<00:25:36.720><c> you</c><00:25:36.900><c> imagine</c><00:25:37.259><c> the</c><00:25:37.500><c> day</c><00:25:37.799><c> that</c><00:25:38.019><c> came</c><00:25:38.359><c> later,</c>

00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:40.680
as<00:25:38.880><c> we</c><00:25:39.019><c> will</c><00:25:39.200><c> see</c><00:25:39.339><c> in</c><00:25:39.500><c> our</c><00:25:39.700><c> studies,</c>

00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:49.579
That's<00:25:49.000><c> what</c><00:25:49.059><c> he</c><00:25:49.180><c> used</c><00:25:49.319><c> to</c><00:25:49.460><c> do.</c>

00:25:58.779 --> 00:25:59.460
Gave<00:25:59.160><c> it</c><00:25:59.279><c> to</c><00:25:59.380><c> him.</c>

00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:01.599
Never<00:25:59.720><c> asked</c><00:26:00.059><c> a</c><00:26:00.240><c> penny</c><00:26:00.420><c> for</c><00:26:00.660><c> it.</c>

00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:03.160
But<00:26:01.799><c> before</c><00:26:02.279><c> he</c><00:26:02.400><c> gave</c><00:26:02.640><c> him</c><00:26:02.819><c> the</c><00:26:02.960><c> body,</c>

00:26:03.220 --> 00:26:04.859
he<00:26:03.299><c> wanted</c><00:26:03.539><c> to</c><00:26:03.660><c> know</c><00:26:03.740><c> whether</c><00:26:03.880><c> he</c><00:26:03.960><c> was</c><00:26:04.200><c> already</c><00:26:04.559><c> dead.</c>

00:26:05.220 --> 00:26:07.599
Because<00:26:05.359><c> he</c><00:26:05.440><c> was</c><00:26:05.599><c> amazed</c><00:26:06.119><c> after</c><00:26:06.519><c> six</c><00:26:06.819><c> hours</c><00:26:07.119><c> dead,</c>

00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:09.400
when<00:26:07.980><c> crucifixion,</c><00:26:08.779><c> on</c><00:26:09.019><c> an</c><00:26:09.240><c> average,</c>

00:26:09.500 --> 00:26:12.240
was<00:26:09.619><c> between</c><00:26:09.960><c> three</c><00:26:10.240><c> and</c><00:26:10.359><c> six</c><00:26:10.640><c> days</c><00:26:10.940><c> before</c><00:26:11.200><c> they</c><00:26:11.440><c> died.</c>

00:26:12.539 --> 00:26:14.579
And<00:26:12.799><c> he</c><00:26:12.940><c> sent</c><00:26:13.240><c> for</c><00:26:13.880><c> who?</c>

00:26:14.819 --> 00:26:17.339
The<00:26:15.079><c> centurion,</c><00:26:16.220><c> to</c><00:26:16.460><c> find</c><00:26:16.660><c> out</c><00:26:16.779><c> whether</c><00:26:16.900><c> he</c><00:26:16.960><c> was</c><00:26:17.160><c> dead.</c>

00:26:17.420 --> 00:26:18.519
The<00:26:17.660><c> centurion.</c>

00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:21.700
Can<00:26:19.140><c> you</c><00:26:19.299><c> imagine</c><00:26:19.500><c> what</c><00:26:19.700><c> the</c><00:26:19.920><c> centurion</c><00:26:20.339><c> told</c><00:26:20.640><c> him?</c>

00:26:22.619 --> 00:26:24.279
That<00:26:22.660><c> when</c><00:26:22.740><c> he</c><00:26:22.839><c> came</c><00:26:23.079><c> back</c><00:26:23.299><c> with</c><00:26:23.460><c> the</c><00:26:23.579><c> news</c><00:26:23.720><c> he</c><00:26:23.819><c> was</c><00:26:24.059><c> dead,</c>

00:26:24.559 --> 00:26:26.319
that's<00:26:24.819><c> the</c><00:26:24.839><c> fellow</c><00:26:25.079><c> that</c><00:26:25.299><c> stood</c><00:26:25.400><c> at</c><00:26:25.579><c> the</c><00:26:25.680><c> cross</c><00:26:25.799><c> and</c><00:26:25.960><c> said,</c>

00:26:26.660 --> 00:26:30.200
truly<00:26:27.119><c> this</c><00:26:27.940><c> was</c><00:26:28.440><c> the</c><00:26:28.619><c> Son</c><00:26:28.799><c> of</c><00:26:29.019><c> God.</c>

00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:34.579
And<00:26:32.660><c> Pilate</c><00:26:32.779><c> would</c><00:26:32.920><c> have</c><00:26:33.019><c> been</c><00:26:33.200><c> more</c><00:26:33.539><c> afraid.</c>

00:26:35.980 --> 00:26:37.000
Where<00:26:36.220><c> did</c><00:26:36.380><c> you</c><00:26:36.380><c> come</c><00:26:36.640><c> from?</c>

00:26:37.299 --> 00:26:39.460
So<00:26:37.500><c> Jesus</c><00:26:37.799><c> doesn't</c><00:26:38.099><c> have</c><00:26:38.319><c> to</c><00:26:38.460><c> answer</c><00:26:38.740><c> him.</c>

00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:42.480
He<00:26:39.940><c> lets</c><00:26:40.160><c> Pilate</c><00:26:40.579><c> think</c><00:26:40.880><c> about</c><00:26:41.079><c> his</c><00:26:41.240><c> own</c><00:26:41.480><c> question.</c>

00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:45.920
And<00:26:43.640><c> there's</c><00:26:44.359><c> an</c><00:26:44.460><c> awkward</c><00:26:44.819><c> silence.</c>

00:26:46.019 --> 00:26:47.660
And<00:26:46.460><c> then</c><00:26:46.640><c> we</c><00:26:46.700><c> have</c><00:26:46.900><c> in</c><00:26:47.000><c> verse</c><00:26:47.259><c> 10,</c>

00:26:47.660 --> 00:26:48.480
Then<00:26:47.900><c> said</c><00:26:48.079><c> Pilate,</c>

00:26:48.859 --> 00:26:50.559
Don't<00:26:49.019><c> you</c><00:26:49.039><c> know</c><00:26:49.160><c> who</c><00:26:49.299><c> you're</c><00:26:49.440><c> talking</c><00:26:49.720><c> to?</c>

00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:52.660
Speaketh<00:26:51.880><c> thou</c><00:26:52.000><c> not</c><00:26:52.180><c> unto</c><00:26:52.400><c> me?</c>

00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:54.359
And<00:26:52.799><c> you</c><00:26:52.859><c> know,</c><00:26:53.220><c> brothers</c><00:26:53.299><c> and</c><00:26:53.539><c> sisters,</c>

00:26:54.700 --> 00:26:57.640
the<00:26:54.920><c> Greek</c><00:26:55.140><c> says</c><00:26:55.440><c> that</c><00:26:55.660><c> the</c><00:26:55.819><c> emphasis</c><00:26:56.119><c> is</c><00:26:56.339><c> on</c><00:26:56.619><c> the</c><00:26:56.839><c> pronoun</c><00:26:57.079><c> me.</c>

00:26:58.099 --> 00:26:58.720
Unto<00:26:58.319><c> me?</c>

00:26:58.900 --> 00:27:00.039
Don't<00:26:59.119><c> you</c><00:26:59.279><c> speak</c><00:26:59.480><c> to</c><00:26:59.680><c> me?</c>

00:27:00.359 --> 00:27:03.980
Don't<00:27:00.759><c> you</c><00:27:01.079><c> know</c><00:27:01.400><c> who</c><00:27:01.660><c> I</c><00:27:01.980><c> am,</c><00:27:02.299><c> what</c><00:27:02.480><c> I</c><00:27:02.720><c> represent</c><00:27:03.099><c> here?</c>

00:27:06.220 --> 00:27:06.660
Why?

00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:08.539
Why<00:27:07.240><c> should</c><00:27:07.420><c> he</c><00:27:07.640><c> speak</c><00:27:07.839><c> to,</c><00:27:07.940><c> listen</c><00:27:08.099><c> to</c><00:27:08.240><c> him?</c>

00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:11.859
He<00:27:08.859><c> says,</c><00:27:09.160><c> look,</c><00:27:09.619><c> I</c><00:27:09.900><c> have</c><00:27:10.140><c> power</c><00:27:10.579><c> to</c><00:27:10.859><c> crucify</c><00:27:11.420><c> you,</c>

00:27:12.220 --> 00:27:13.500
and<00:27:12.380><c> I've</c><00:27:12.599><c> got</c><00:27:12.720><c> power</c><00:27:12.980><c> to</c><00:27:13.140><c> release</c><00:27:13.339><c> you.</c>

00:27:13.539 --> 00:27:14.279
Don't<00:27:13.740><c> you</c><00:27:13.880><c> know</c><00:27:14.079><c> that?</c>

00:27:14.279 --> 00:27:15.880
Don't<00:27:14.460><c> you</c><00:27:14.539><c> know</c><00:27:14.640><c> who</c><00:27:14.799><c> you</c><00:27:15.000><c> are,</c><00:27:15.220><c> who</c><00:27:15.380><c> I</c><00:27:15.640><c> am?</c>

00:27:16.160 --> 00:27:18.059
Don't<00:27:16.380><c> you</c><00:27:16.539><c> realize</c><00:27:16.839><c> your</c><00:27:17.019><c> opportunity?</c>

00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:19.819
Your<00:27:18.579><c> life's</c><00:27:18.900><c> in</c><00:27:19.059><c> my</c><00:27:19.359><c> hands.</c>

00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:21.440
No,<00:27:20.200><c> it's</c><00:27:20.279><c> not.</c>

00:27:22.900 --> 00:27:24.960
He<00:27:23.319><c> didn't</c><00:27:23.579><c> have</c><00:27:23.759><c> that</c><00:27:24.000><c> power,</c><00:27:24.359><c> brothers</c><00:27:24.519><c> and</c><00:27:24.720><c> sisters.</c>

00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:27.980
There<00:27:25.140><c> is</c><00:27:25.359><c> no</c><00:27:25.619><c> power,</c><00:27:26.079><c> says</c><00:27:26.180><c> Paul,</c><00:27:26.480><c> but</c><00:27:26.640><c> of</c><00:27:26.759><c> God.</c>

00:27:28.920 --> 00:27:31.279
And<00:27:29.059><c> Jesus</c><00:27:29.359><c> had</c><00:27:29.559><c> already</c><00:27:29.900><c> said</c><00:27:30.119><c> in</c><00:27:30.279><c> John</c><00:27:30.559><c> chapter</c><00:27:30.880><c> 10,</c>

00:27:31.380 --> 00:27:35.599
I<00:27:31.700><c> have</c><00:27:32.140><c> power</c><00:27:32.940><c> to</c><00:27:33.720><c> lay</c><00:27:33.960><c> down</c><00:27:34.160><c> my</c><00:27:34.460><c> life,</c>

00:27:35.859 --> 00:27:38.660
and<00:27:36.339><c> I</c><00:27:36.519><c> have</c><00:27:36.819><c> power</c><00:27:37.220><c> to</c><00:27:37.460><c> take</c><00:27:37.680><c> it</c><00:27:37.839><c> again.</c>

00:27:39.759 --> 00:27:41.900
And<00:27:40.119><c> he</c><00:27:40.279><c> meant</c><00:27:40.460><c> that</c><00:27:40.779><c> literally.</c>

00:27:43.559 --> 00:27:45.859
His<00:27:44.019><c> power</c><00:27:44.359><c> to</c><00:27:44.519><c> take</c><00:27:44.759><c> it</c><00:27:44.779><c> again,</c><00:27:45.200><c> brothers</c><00:27:45.339><c> and</c><00:27:45.579><c> sisters,</c>

00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:48.640
was<00:27:46.119><c> to</c><00:27:46.200><c> go</c><00:27:46.740><c> on</c><00:27:46.940><c> living</c><00:27:47.160><c> a</c><00:27:47.299><c> perfect</c><00:27:47.680><c> life.</c>

00:27:49.420 --> 00:27:52.000
He<00:27:49.460><c> had</c><00:27:49.640><c> universal</c><00:27:50.380><c> power</c><00:27:51.000><c> to</c><00:27:51.259><c> raising</c><00:27:51.480><c> from</c><00:27:51.700><c> the</c><00:27:51.880><c> dead,</c>

00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:55.779
because<00:27:52.299><c> God's</c><00:27:52.799><c> principles</c><00:27:53.079><c> are</c><00:27:53.359><c> that</c><00:27:53.519><c> the</c><00:27:53.720><c> wages</c><00:27:54.000><c> of</c><00:27:54.279><c> sin</c><00:27:54.420><c> is</c><00:27:54.680><c> death.</c>

00:27:56.180 --> 00:27:58.880
And<00:27:56.279><c> if</c><00:27:56.359><c> there's</c><00:27:56.579><c> no</c><00:27:56.900><c> sin,</c><00:27:57.240><c> there's</c><00:27:57.519><c> no</c><00:27:57.880><c> death.</c>

00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:01.980
That's<00:28:00.119><c> an</c><00:28:00.240><c> almighty</c><00:28:00.799><c> power</c><00:28:01.180><c> to</c><00:28:01.339><c> take</c><00:28:01.579><c> it</c><00:28:01.740><c> again.</c>

00:28:02.420 --> 00:28:05.299
His<00:28:02.640><c> power</c><00:28:03.380><c> to</c><00:28:04.099><c> lay</c><00:28:04.279><c> it</c><00:28:04.440><c> down,</c><00:28:04.660><c> brothers</c><00:28:04.940><c> and</c><00:28:05.160><c> sisters,</c>

And<00:28:19.900><c> the</c><00:28:20.099><c> Father</c><00:28:20.319><c> had</c><00:28:20.559><c> given</c><00:28:20.740><c> him</c><00:28:20.940><c> to</c><00:28:21.099><c> his</c><00:28:21.440><c> power</c>

00:28:25.680 --> 00:28:29.180
It<00:28:25.799><c> was</c><00:28:26.140><c> completely</c><00:28:26.859><c> free</c><00:28:27.400><c> will,</c><00:28:27.779><c> brothers</c><00:28:27.940><c> and</c><00:28:28.180><c> sisters.</c>

00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:33.619
But<00:28:30.000><c> the</c><00:28:30.240><c> Father</c><00:28:30.500><c> left</c><00:28:30.839><c> him</c><00:28:31.940><c> with</c><00:28:32.460><c> the</c><00:28:32.720><c> commandment</c>

00:28:35.220 --> 00:28:37.440
The<00:28:35.500><c> Father's</c><00:28:35.960><c> will</c><00:28:36.180><c> was</c><00:28:36.720><c> that</c><00:28:36.819><c> he</c><00:28:36.880><c> would</c><00:28:37.099><c> die</c>

00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:39.400

00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:42.319
There<00:28:39.960><c> was</c><00:28:40.220><c> a</c><00:28:40.319><c> certain</c><00:28:40.539><c> time</c><00:28:40.859><c> when</c><00:28:40.980><c> that</c><00:28:41.079><c> had</c><00:28:41.279><c> to</c><00:28:41.519><c> happen.</c>

00:28:42.420 --> 00:28:44.759
It<00:28:42.480><c> was</c><00:28:42.680><c> critical</c><00:28:43.079><c> he</c><00:28:43.339><c> died</c><00:28:43.680><c> right</c><00:28:44.180><c> at</c><00:28:44.380><c> the</c><00:28:44.519><c> moment</c>

00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:46.299

00:28:48.839 --> 00:28:52.240
It's<00:28:49.160><c> far,</c><00:28:49.900><c> far</c><00:28:50.420><c> more</c><00:28:50.759><c> in</c><00:28:50.839><c> it</c><00:28:50.900><c> than</c><00:28:51.059><c> that,</c><00:28:51.339><c> as</c><00:28:51.519><c> we</c><00:28:51.640><c> will</c><00:28:51.900><c> see.</c>

00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:54.579
But<00:28:52.880><c> he</c><00:28:53.059><c> knew</c><00:28:53.259><c> that</c><00:28:53.460><c> at</c><00:28:53.500><c> that</c><00:28:53.779><c> point</c><00:28:54.160><c> of</c><00:28:54.339><c> history,</c>

00:28:54.779 --> 00:28:56.980
it<00:28:54.779><c> must</c><00:28:55.160><c> happen</c><00:28:55.500><c> if</c><00:28:55.720><c> the</c><00:28:55.960><c> world</c><00:28:56.119><c> is</c><00:28:56.319><c> to</c><00:28:56.440><c> be</c><00:28:56.680><c> saved.</c>

00:28:57.160 --> 00:28:59.400
Now,<00:28:57.380><c> he's</c><00:28:57.759><c> got</c><00:28:57.960><c> the</c><00:28:58.180><c> power</c><00:28:58.400><c> to</c><00:28:58.680><c> breathe</c><00:28:58.839><c> his</c><00:28:59.140><c> last</c>

00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:05.279
It's<00:29:03.440><c> completely</c><00:29:03.960><c> free</c><00:29:04.279><c> will,</c>

00:29:05.420 --> 00:29:08.160

00:29:13.140 --> 00:29:17.200
When<00:29:13.279><c> he</c><00:29:13.460><c> said</c><00:29:13.880><c> he</c><00:29:15.059><c> saw</c><00:29:15.279><c> the</c><00:29:15.460><c> sun</c><00:29:15.940><c> between</c><00:29:16.440><c> the</c><00:29:16.759><c> two</c><00:29:16.920><c> evenings</c>

that's<00:29:20.900><c> it,</c><00:29:22.059><c> and</c><00:29:22.579><c> he</c><00:29:24.099><c> yielded</c><00:29:25.019><c> up</c><00:29:25.359><c> the</c><00:29:25.640><c> spirit.</c>

00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:29.259
Pilate,<00:29:27.579><c> you</c><00:29:27.900><c> haven't</c><00:29:28.099><c> got</c><00:29:28.299><c> that</c><00:29:28.539><c> power</c><00:29:28.880><c> at</c><00:29:29.099><c> all.</c>

00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:46.819
He<00:29:43.779><c> said</c><00:29:44.039><c> to</c><00:29:44.099><c> him</c><00:29:44.299><c> this,</c><00:29:45.420><c> Jesus</c><00:29:45.779><c> answered,</c>

00:29:54.940 --> 00:29:57.299
Now,<00:29:55.140><c> I</c><00:29:55.299><c> want</c><00:29:55.480><c> to</c><00:29:55.720><c> show</c><00:29:55.940><c> you</c><00:29:56.160><c> where</c><00:29:56.319><c> that's</c><00:29:56.599><c> coming</c><00:29:56.880><c> from.</c>

there's<00:35:20.280><c> been</c><00:35:20.519><c> an</c><00:35:20.679><c> neglect</c><00:35:21.079><c> of</c><00:35:21.280><c> Bible</c><00:35:21.679><c> prophecy</c><00:35:22.119><c> in</c><00:35:22.260><c> their</c>

00:35:25.340 --> 00:35:27.059
Do<00:35:25.739><c> we</c><00:35:25.820><c> know</c><00:35:25.960><c> what's</c><00:35:26.179><c> going</c><00:35:26.280><c> to</c><00:35:26.380><c> happen</c><00:35:26.500><c> in</c><00:35:26.659><c> the</c><00:35:26.800><c> world?</c>

00:35:27.420 --> 00:35:30.699
God<00:35:27.639><c> has</c><00:35:27.840><c> left</c><00:35:27.980><c> us</c><00:35:28.760><c> clearly</c><00:35:29.139><c> with</c><00:35:29.400><c> the</c><00:35:29.519><c> message,</c><00:35:29.900><c> hasn't</c><00:35:29.980><c> he?</c>

00:35:30.860 --> 00:35:33.300
We<00:35:31.239><c> ought</c><00:35:31.420><c> to</c><00:35:31.579><c> know</c><00:35:31.739><c> the</c><00:35:32.039><c> times</c><00:35:32.219><c> to</c><00:35:32.360><c> which</c><00:35:32.440><c> we</c><00:35:32.719><c> stand</c><00:35:32.900><c> related,</c>

00:35:33.320 --> 00:35:34.980
and<00:35:33.480><c> we</c><00:35:33.539><c> ought</c><00:35:33.719><c> to</c><00:35:33.820><c> act</c><00:35:34.019><c> accordingly.</c>

00:35:35.239 --> 00:35:37.739
He<00:35:35.639><c> was</c><00:35:35.800><c> the</c><00:35:35.920><c> custodians</c><00:35:36.559><c> of</c><00:35:36.719><c> the</c><00:35:36.800><c> Bible.</c>

00:35:38.099 --> 00:35:39.760
So<00:35:38.219><c> Jesus</c><00:35:38.559><c> said,</c><00:35:39.539><c> you</c><00:35:39.559><c> know,</c>

00:35:39.820 --> 00:35:41.260
you<00:35:39.860><c> don't</c><00:35:40.039><c> even</c><00:35:40.219><c> know</c><00:35:40.340><c> what</c><00:35:40.480><c> you're</c><00:35:40.619><c> doing,</c><00:35:41.239><c> Father,</c>

00:35:41.320 --> 00:35:44.539
but<00:35:41.500><c> they</c><00:35:41.739><c> do,</c><00:35:42.579><c> or</c><00:35:42.760><c> they</c><00:35:43.039><c> ought</c><00:35:43.360><c> to.</c>

00:35:44.599 --> 00:35:47.079
And<00:35:44.719><c> when</c><00:35:44.880><c> the</c><00:35:45.059><c> Pharisees</c><00:35:45.500><c> and</c><00:35:45.820><c> the</c><00:35:46.059><c> scribes</c><00:35:46.420><c> and</c><00:35:46.539><c> the</c><00:35:46.719><c> Sadducees</c>

00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:50.559
came<00:35:47.400><c> to</c><00:35:47.699><c> them,</c><00:35:48.539><c> when</c><00:35:48.739><c> Jesus</c><00:35:49.099><c> had</c><00:35:49.400><c> cured</c><00:35:49.539><c> the</c><00:35:49.800><c> blind</c><00:35:50.039><c> man,</c>

00:35:50.800 --> 00:35:52.099
and<00:35:50.880><c> said,</c><00:35:50.980><c> are</c><00:35:51.099><c> we</c><00:35:51.280><c> blind</c><00:35:51.599><c> also?</c>

00:35:52.420 --> 00:35:57.039
He<00:35:52.559><c> said,</c><00:35:53.559><c> look,</c><00:35:55.300><c> if</c><00:35:55.460><c> you</c><00:35:55.639><c> had</c><00:35:55.780><c> no</c><00:35:56.099><c> sin,</c>

00:35:57.900 --> 00:35:58.619
for<00:35:58.059><c> your</c><00:35:58.139><c> different</c><00:35:58.460><c> matters,</c>

00:35:58.719 --> 00:35:59.619
He<00:35:58.860><c> said,</c><00:35:58.860><c> if</c><00:35:58.940><c> you</c><00:35:59.019><c> don't</c><00:35:59.340><c> see,</c>

00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:00.440
He<00:35:59.639><c> said,</c><00:35:59.800><c> you'd</c><00:36:00.059><c> have</c><00:36:00.179><c> no</c><00:36:00.280><c> sin.</c>

00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:03.000
If<00:36:00.860><c> you</c><00:36:01.099><c> say</c><00:36:01.239><c> you</c><00:36:01.380><c> don't</c><00:36:01.659><c> see,</c><00:36:02.239><c> you'd</c><00:36:02.519><c> have</c><00:36:02.619><c> no</c><00:36:02.860><c> sin.</c>

00:36:03.000 --> 00:36:05.460
But<00:36:03.159><c> now</c><00:36:03.460><c> you</c><00:36:03.719><c> say</c><00:36:03.940><c> you</c><00:36:04.219><c> know,</c>

00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:07.579
therefore<00:36:06.139><c> your</c><00:36:06.420><c> sin</c><00:36:06.539><c> remains.</c>

00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:09.820
If<00:36:08.320><c> they</c><00:36:08.539><c> admitted</c><00:36:08.840><c> ignorance,</c>

00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:12.239
well,<00:36:11.059><c> God</c><00:36:11.239><c> can</c><00:36:11.420><c> deal</c><00:36:11.619><c> with</c><00:36:11.820><c> that.</c>

00:36:12.460 --> 00:36:13.579
But<00:36:12.579><c> they</c><00:36:12.699><c> didn't</c><00:36:12.960><c> admit</c><00:36:13.260><c> ignorance.</c>

00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:15.139
They<00:36:14.039><c> said,</c><00:36:14.420><c> we</c><00:36:14.559><c> know,</c>

00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:17.139
but<00:36:15.380><c> He</c><00:36:15.400><c> said,</c><00:36:15.659><c> your</c><00:36:15.800><c> sin</c><00:36:16.059><c> remains.</c>

00:36:17.619 --> 00:36:19.099
Because<00:36:17.760><c> it</c><00:36:17.820><c> was</c><00:36:17.980><c> very</c><00:36:18.380><c> clearly</c><00:36:18.639><c> portrayed</c>

00:36:19.099 --> 00:36:20.639
in<00:36:19.280><c> Daniel</c><00:36:19.539><c> chapter</c><00:36:19.860><c> 8,</c><00:36:20.099><c> wasn't</c><00:36:20.300><c> it?</c>

00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:21.860
And<00:36:21.260><c> He</c><00:36:21.340><c> went</c><00:36:21.440><c> on</c><00:36:21.579><c> to</c><00:36:21.739><c> say,</c>

00:36:21.900 --> 00:36:23.119
that's<00:36:22.079><c> in</c><00:36:22.199><c> the</c><00:36:22.300><c> ninth</c><00:36:22.500><c> chapter</c><00:36:22.800><c> of</c><00:36:23.059><c> John,</c>

00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:24.360
in<00:36:23.440><c> the</c><00:36:23.639><c> twelfth</c><00:36:23.840><c> chapter</c><00:36:24.099><c> of</c><00:36:24.260><c> John,</c>

00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:25.519
He<00:36:24.460><c> said,</c><00:36:24.579><c> I</c><00:36:24.760><c> judge</c><00:36:25.039><c> no</c><00:36:25.300><c> man.</c>

00:36:25.579 --> 00:36:26.920
I<00:36:25.719><c> don't</c><00:36:25.880><c> judge</c><00:36:26.079><c> anybody.</c>

00:36:27.019 --> 00:36:29.079
The<00:36:27.280><c> Word</c><00:36:27.760><c> will</c><00:36:28.039><c> judge</c><00:36:28.280><c> him.</c>

00:36:29.420 --> 00:36:31.739
The<00:36:29.619><c> Word</c><00:36:29.860><c> that</c><00:36:30.039><c> I</c><00:36:30.300><c> speak</c><00:36:30.460><c> will</c><00:36:30.699><c> judge</c><00:36:30.920><c> him</c><00:36:31.059><c> in</c><00:36:31.179><c> the</c><00:36:31.320><c> last</c><00:36:31.599><c> days,</c>

00:36:31.739 --> 00:36:33.739
and<00:36:31.920><c> God's</c><00:36:32.260><c> Word</c><00:36:32.440><c> will</c><00:36:32.659><c> judge</c><00:36:32.880><c> them.</c>

00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:37.639
And<00:36:34.460><c> there</c><00:36:34.619><c> was</c><00:36:34.880><c> a</c><00:36:34.980><c> clear,</c><00:36:36.320><c> unmistakable</c><00:36:37.119><c> prophecy</c>

00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:39.800
of<00:36:38.500><c> the</c><00:36:38.659><c> beginning</c><00:36:38.900><c> of</c><00:36:39.059><c> the</c><00:36:39.219><c> fourth</c><00:36:39.480><c> beast,</c>

00:36:40.019 --> 00:36:42.059
and<00:36:40.099><c> here,</c><00:36:40.619><c> right</c><00:36:40.780><c> is</c><00:36:41.079><c> the</c><00:36:41.179><c> point</c><00:36:41.500><c> of</c><00:36:41.800><c> history,</c>

00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:45.719
exactly<00:36:42.780><c> here,</c><00:36:44.559><c> that</c><00:36:44.719><c> this</c><00:36:44.960><c> man</c><00:36:45.119><c> is</c><00:36:45.380><c> saying,</c>

00:36:46.179 --> 00:36:48.179
and<00:36:46.179><c> he's</c><00:36:46.360><c> got</c><00:36:46.539><c> power</c><00:36:46.760><c> to</c><00:36:46.960><c> crucify</c><00:36:47.380><c> the</c><00:36:47.519><c> Son</c><00:36:47.699><c> of</c><00:36:47.880><c> God,</c>

00:36:48.420 --> 00:36:50.559
and<00:36:48.539><c> he</c><00:36:48.639><c> had</c><00:36:48.840><c> no</c><00:36:49.119><c> such</c><00:36:49.380><c> power,</c><00:36:49.860><c> brothers</c><00:36:50.000><c> and</c><00:36:50.239><c> sisters,</c>

00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:52.340
not<00:36:51.139><c> one</c><00:36:51.579><c> bit.</c>

00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:55.079
Well,<00:36:53.780><c> Pilate</c><00:36:53.800><c> was</c><00:36:54.059><c> greatly</c><00:36:54.360><c> impressed</c><00:36:54.739><c> with</c><00:36:54.960><c> that.</c>

00:36:55.099 --> 00:36:56.260
He<00:36:55.219><c> wouldn't</c><00:36:55.400><c> have</c><00:36:55.599><c> understood</c><00:36:55.900><c> Daniel,</c>

00:36:56.280 --> 00:36:56.940
but<00:36:56.440><c> I</c><00:36:56.619><c> tell</c><00:36:56.719><c> you</c><00:36:56.820><c> what,</c>

00:36:56.940 --> 00:36:58.139
he<00:36:57.000><c> would</c><00:36:57.179><c> have</c><00:36:57.380><c> understood</c><00:36:57.760><c> something</c>

00:36:58.139 --> 00:37:00.019
that<00:36:58.559><c> he</c><00:36:58.800><c> was</c><00:36:58.900><c> this</c><00:36:59.139><c> man</c><00:36:59.380><c> saying</c><00:36:59.639><c> to</c><00:36:59.800><c> him,</c>

00:37:00.019 --> 00:37:01.159
Pilate,<00:37:00.360><c> you</c><00:37:00.539><c> go</c><00:37:00.719><c> right</c><00:37:00.960><c> ahead.</c>

00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:03.480
It's<00:37:01.559><c> got</c><00:37:01.679><c> nothing</c><00:37:01.960><c> to</c><00:37:02.139><c> do</c><00:37:02.179><c> with</c><00:37:02.320><c> you,</c><00:37:02.980><c> really.</c>

00:37:03.599 --> 00:37:05.320
You're<00:37:03.900><c> guilty,</c><00:37:04.420><c> yes,</c>

00:37:06.019 --> 00:37:07.679
because<00:37:06.360><c> others</c><00:37:06.639><c> have</c><00:37:06.960><c> greater</c><00:37:07.380><c> sin.</c>

00:37:07.820 --> 00:37:08.980
You're<00:37:08.039><c> guilty.</c>

00:37:09.539 --> 00:37:10.679
What<00:37:09.699><c> you're</c><00:37:09.860><c> doing</c><00:37:10.059><c> is</c><00:37:10.320><c> wrong,</c>

00:37:10.920 --> 00:37:12.280
but<00:37:11.119><c> I</c><00:37:11.280><c> tell</c><00:37:11.420><c> you,</c><00:37:11.739><c> says</c><00:37:11.880><c> Jesus,</c>

00:37:12.380 --> 00:37:14.699
there<00:37:12.519><c> are</c><00:37:12.739><c> others</c><00:37:12.920><c> who</c><00:37:13.199><c> are</c><00:37:13.480><c> far</c><00:37:13.920><c> greater</c><00:37:14.340><c> than</c><00:37:14.420><c> you,</c>

00:37:14.760 --> 00:37:16.079
deliver<00:37:14.980><c> us,</c>

00:37:16.139 --> 00:37:17.679
because<00:37:16.719><c> they</c><00:37:16.960><c> have</c><00:37:17.179><c> the</c><00:37:17.420><c> Bible,</c>

00:37:18.500 --> 00:37:20.099
we've<00:37:18.900><c> got</c><00:37:19.019><c> the</c><00:37:19.239><c> Bible.</c>

00:37:20.820 --> 00:37:22.420
Just<00:37:21.039><c> think</c><00:37:21.260><c> about</c><00:37:21.559><c> that.</c>

00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:24.699
Well,<00:37:23.920><c> says</c><00:37:24.119><c> verse</c><00:37:24.400><c> 12,</c>

00:37:24.800 --> 00:37:26.699
from<00:37:24.920><c> henceforth</c><00:37:25.460><c> Pilate</c><00:37:25.940><c> sought</c><00:37:26.239><c> the</c><00:37:26.500><c> releasing.</c>

00:37:26.760 --> 00:37:29.139
He<00:37:26.900><c> now</c><00:37:27.139><c> becomes</c><00:37:27.659><c> proactive.</c>

00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:31.619
He's<00:37:30.559><c> not</c><00:37:30.679><c> on</c><00:37:30.840><c> the</c><00:37:30.960><c> defensive</c><00:37:31.360><c> now,</c>

00:37:31.639 --> 00:37:33.159
he's<00:37:31.800><c> on</c><00:37:32.019><c> the</c><00:37:32.199><c> offensive.</c>

00:37:33.619 --> 00:37:35.119
As<00:37:34.059><c> Peter</c><00:37:34.380><c> says</c><00:37:34.659><c> in</c><00:37:34.900><c> Acts,</c>

00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:37.420
he's<00:37:35.579><c> determined</c><00:37:36.079><c> to</c><00:37:36.219><c> let</c><00:37:36.360><c> him</c><00:37:36.559><c> go,</c>

00:37:37.820 --> 00:37:38.860

00:37:39.260 --> 00:37:40.780
Here<00:37:39.400><c> comes</c><00:37:39.619><c> the</c><00:37:39.780><c> critical</c><00:37:40.059><c> moment</c><00:37:40.340><c> in</c><00:37:40.559><c> history,</c>

00:37:41.619 --> 00:37:42.579
The<00:37:41.739><c> Jews</c><00:37:42.000><c> see</c><00:37:42.239><c> it,</c>

00:37:42.679 --> 00:37:43.780
but<00:37:42.840><c> the</c><00:37:43.119><c> Jews</c><00:37:43.480><c> quite</c><00:37:43.719><c> it.</c>

00:37:43.780 --> 00:37:44.400
Notice<00:37:44.059><c> that.</c>

00:37:44.619 --> 00:37:46.519
You<00:37:44.639><c> know,</c><00:37:44.840><c> sometimes</c><00:37:45.159><c> you</c><00:37:45.260><c> get</c><00:37:45.400><c> the</c><00:37:45.619><c> offices</c><00:37:45.900><c> of</c><00:37:46.119><c> the</c><00:37:46.280><c> Jews,</c>

but<00:37:49.579><c> here</c><00:37:49.760><c> you've</c><00:37:50.059><c> just</c><00:37:50.139><c> got</c><00:37:50.300><c> the</c><00:37:50.639><c> Jews,</c>

00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:56.659
because<00:37:53.480><c> now</c><00:37:53.719><c> you</c><00:37:53.900><c> see</c><00:37:54.260><c> a</c><00:37:54.659><c> national</c><00:37:55.119><c> title</c><00:37:55.440><c> is</c><00:37:55.639><c> here,</c>

00:37:57.119 --> 00:38:02.900
and<00:37:57.840><c> the</c><00:37:58.559><c> Jews</c><00:37:59.159><c> are</c><00:37:59.639><c> about</c><00:38:00.179><c> to</c><00:38:01.820><c> defend</c>

00:38:03.159 --> 00:38:06.460

00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:08.239
The<00:38:07.059><c> Jews</c><00:38:07.679><c> are.</c>

00:38:08.380 --> 00:38:10.139
That's<00:38:08.619><c> why</c><00:38:08.880><c> John's</c><00:38:09.239><c> put</c><00:38:09.340><c> that</c><00:38:09.619><c> title</c><00:38:09.840><c> there,</c>

00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:18.780
Jews<00:38:16.440><c> are</c><00:38:16.880><c> about</c><00:38:17.199><c> to</c><00:38:17.500><c> defend</c>

00:38:22.699 --> 00:38:24.500
Here<00:38:22.880><c> comes</c><00:38:23.119><c> their</c><00:38:23.340><c> trump</c><00:38:23.639><c> card.</c>

00:38:25.460 --> 00:38:27.639
If<00:38:25.980><c> thou</c><00:38:26.300><c> let</c><00:38:26.579><c> this</c><00:38:26.860><c> man</c><00:38:27.179><c> go,</c>

00:38:27.860 --> 00:38:30.199
thou<00:38:27.960><c> art</c><00:38:28.099><c> not</c><00:38:28.500><c> Caesar's</c><00:38:29.179><c> friend.</c>

00:38:30.900 --> 00:38:32.699
Whosoever<00:38:31.420><c> maketh</c><00:38:31.780><c> himself</c><00:38:32.199><c> a</c><00:38:32.440><c> king,</c>

00:38:32.880 --> 00:38:33.920
speaketh<00:38:33.219><c> against</c><00:38:33.539><c> Caesar.</c>

00:38:34.139 --> 00:38:35.539
Now<00:38:34.340><c> Jesus</c><00:38:34.679><c> had</c><00:38:34.960><c> assured</c><00:38:35.300><c> Pilate,</c>

00:38:35.579 --> 00:38:36.159
as<00:38:35.760><c> we</c><00:38:35.900><c> saw,</c>

00:38:36.360 --> 00:38:37.840
my<00:38:36.619><c> kingdom</c><00:38:36.880><c> was</c><00:38:37.099><c> not</c><00:38:37.239><c> of</c><00:38:37.360><c> this</c><00:38:37.579><c> world.</c>

00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:38.460
If<00:38:38.099><c> it</c><00:38:38.300><c> were,</c>

00:38:38.460 --> 00:38:40.400
my<00:38:38.820><c> officers</c><00:38:39.219><c> would</c><00:38:39.559><c> fight.</c>

00:38:40.980 --> 00:38:43.579
So<00:38:41.280><c> Pilate</c><00:38:41.519><c> is</c><00:38:41.760><c> assured</c><00:38:42.079><c> that</c><00:38:42.320><c> Jesus</c><00:38:42.619><c> has</c><00:38:42.880><c> no</c><00:38:43.099><c> ambitions</c>

00:38:43.579 --> 00:38:44.420
upon<00:38:43.860><c> his</c><00:38:44.119><c> kingdom.</c>

00:38:44.920 --> 00:38:46.159
Pilate<00:38:45.179><c> is</c><00:38:45.380><c> not</c><00:38:45.539><c> under</c><00:38:45.800><c> threat,</c>

00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:47.920
but<00:38:46.599><c> he</c><00:38:46.780><c> can't</c><00:38:47.119><c> get</c><00:38:47.300><c> away</c><00:38:47.539><c> from</c><00:38:47.719><c> this,</c>

00:38:48.179 --> 00:38:48.639
brothers<00:38:48.179><c> and</c><00:38:48.360><c> sisters.</c>

00:38:48.699 --> 00:38:50.380
It's<00:38:48.940><c> no</c><00:38:49.159><c> good</c><00:38:49.340><c> writing</c><00:38:49.599><c> to</c><00:38:49.860><c> Caesar</c><00:38:50.039><c> and</c><00:38:50.260><c> saying,</c>

00:38:50.420 --> 00:38:52.260
oh,<00:38:50.559><c> this</c><00:38:50.719><c> man</c><00:38:50.940><c> doesn't</c><00:38:51.239><c> intend</c><00:38:51.519><c> to</c><00:38:51.719><c> take</c><00:38:51.880><c> over</c><00:38:52.039><c> anything.</c>

00:38:52.260 --> 00:38:54.780
He's<00:38:52.940><c> not</c><00:38:53.039><c> a</c><00:38:53.159><c> kingdom</c><00:38:53.320><c> of</c><00:38:53.480><c> some</c><00:38:53.659><c> other</c><00:38:53.820><c> world</c><00:38:54.000><c> I</c><00:38:54.139><c> know</c><00:38:54.260><c> nothing</c><00:38:54.500><c> about.</c>

00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:56.260
Imagine<00:38:55.420><c> the</c><00:38:55.659><c> court</c><00:38:55.800><c> of</c><00:38:55.980><c> Rome</c><00:38:56.099><c> saying,</c>

00:38:56.500 --> 00:38:58.400
oh,<00:38:56.500><c> come</c><00:38:56.699><c> on.</c>

00:38:59.500 --> 00:39:02.039
That<00:38:59.900><c> wouldn't</c><00:39:00.300><c> cut</c><00:39:00.519><c> any</c><00:39:00.820><c> ice</c><00:39:01.059><c> in</c><00:39:01.260><c> the</c><00:39:01.420><c> courts</c><00:39:01.579><c> of</c><00:39:01.800><c> Rome,</c>

00:39:02.199 --> 00:39:02.659
brothers<00:39:02.420><c> and</c><00:39:02.559><c> sisters,</c>

00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:05.059
but<00:39:03.139><c> the</c><00:39:03.340><c> Jews</c><00:39:03.500><c> know</c><00:39:03.880><c> what</c><00:39:04.099><c> to</c><00:39:04.300><c> do.</c>

00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:06.639
You<00:39:05.460><c> can</c><00:39:05.659><c> think</c><00:39:05.820><c> what</c><00:39:05.960><c> you</c><00:39:06.159><c> like,</c><00:39:06.619><c> Pilate,</c>

00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:09.039
but<00:39:06.880><c> the</c><00:39:07.059><c> fact</c><00:39:07.219><c> that</c><00:39:07.860><c> he's</c><00:39:08.079><c> made</c><00:39:08.280><c> a</c><00:39:08.460><c> claim</c><00:39:08.559><c> to</c><00:39:08.719><c> be</c><00:39:08.880><c> king</c>

00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:10.619

00:39:10.679 --> 00:39:11.739
And<00:39:10.780><c> you</c><00:39:10.820><c> know,</c><00:39:11.099><c> brothers</c><00:39:11.239><c> and</c><00:39:11.519><c> sisters,</c>

00:39:11.760 --> 00:39:13.519

00:39:13.599 --> 00:39:15.639
because<00:39:13.679><c> he's</c><00:39:14.500><c> already</c><00:39:14.820><c> got</c><00:39:15.039><c> a</c><00:39:15.179><c> bad</c><00:39:15.380><c> record.</c>

00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:16.219
Now<00:39:15.920><c> look,</c>

00:39:16.679 --> 00:39:19.380
it<00:39:16.780><c> was</c><00:39:16.960><c> only</c><00:39:17.199><c> a</c><00:39:17.360><c> few</c><00:39:17.619><c> years</c><00:39:17.960><c> before</c><00:39:18.340><c> this,</c>

A<00:39:35.500><c> couple</c><00:39:35.619><c> of</c><00:39:35.639><c> years</c><00:39:35.860><c> before</c><00:39:36.179><c> this</c><00:39:36.380><c> incident,</c>

00:39:37.300 --> 00:39:40.780
his<00:39:37.559><c> patron</c><00:39:37.960><c> in</c><00:39:38.179><c> Rome</c><00:39:38.599><c> was</c><00:39:39.079><c> banished,</c>

00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:43.679
and<00:39:42.320><c> Tiberius</c><00:39:42.780><c> had</c><00:39:43.000><c> come</c><00:39:43.139><c> to</c><00:39:43.280><c> the</c><00:39:43.440><c> throne</c>

00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:47.559
and<00:39:43.960><c> was</c><00:39:44.440><c> deeply</c><00:39:45.059><c> suspicious</c><00:39:45.840><c> of</c><00:39:46.199><c> Pilate.</c>

00:39:48.739 --> 00:39:50.219
Pilate,<00:39:49.260><c> brothers</c><00:39:49.480><c> and</c><00:39:49.719><c> sisters,</c>

00:39:50.219 --> 00:39:52.639
was<00:39:50.880><c> on</c><00:39:51.219><c> borrowed</c><00:39:51.519><c> time,</c>

00:39:52.780 --> 00:39:54.579
and<00:39:53.260><c> he</c><00:39:53.340><c> knew</c><00:39:53.559><c> that.</c>

00:39:54.659 --> 00:39:56.820
He<00:39:54.719><c> knew</c><00:39:54.920><c> he</c><00:39:55.000><c> was</c><00:39:55.199><c> on</c><00:39:55.440><c> borrowed</c><00:39:55.719><c> time.</c>

00:39:57.320 --> 00:39:58.900
So<00:39:57.440><c> now</c><00:39:57.639><c> they've</c><00:39:57.880><c> got</c><00:39:58.000><c> him.</c>

00:39:59.380 --> 00:40:01.659
You<00:39:59.639><c> say</c><00:40:00.300><c> that</c><00:40:00.619><c> he's</c><00:40:00.699><c> not</c><00:40:00.920><c> a</c><00:40:01.039><c> king</c><00:40:01.099><c> of</c><00:40:01.260><c> this</c><00:40:01.460><c> world?</c>

00:40:01.760 --> 00:40:02.539
Well,<00:40:01.920><c> I'm</c><00:40:02.039><c> telling</c><00:40:02.179><c> you,</c>

00:40:02.679 --> 00:40:04.260
Caesar<00:40:02.760><c> won't</c><00:40:02.940><c> believe</c><00:40:03.219><c> that.</c>

00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:06.300
Anybody<00:40:05.039><c> who</c><00:40:05.239><c> says</c><00:40:05.380><c> he's</c><00:40:05.619><c> a</c><00:40:05.780><c> king</c>

00:40:08.599 --> 00:40:10.980
So<00:40:08.920><c> Pilate's</c><00:40:09.260><c> going</c><00:40:09.340><c> to</c><00:40:09.440><c> make</c><00:40:09.599><c> a</c><00:40:09.739><c> last</c><00:40:09.980><c> attempt.</c>

00:40:11.559 --> 00:40:12.500
Things<00:40:11.739><c> are</c><00:40:11.900><c> getting</c><00:40:12.059><c> desperate</c>

00:40:12.500 --> 00:40:14.119
now,<00:40:12.800><c> brothers</c><00:40:12.980><c> and</c><00:40:13.199><c> sisters.</c>

Verse<00:40:14.980><c> 13.</c>

00:40:17.300 --> 00:40:19.679
But<00:40:17.400><c> when</c><00:40:17.699><c> Pilate</c><00:40:18.239><c> therefore</c><00:40:18.780><c> heard</c><00:40:19.079><c> that</c><00:40:19.400><c> saying,</c>

00:40:19.679 --> 00:40:20.940

00:40:20.940 --> 00:40:22.820

00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:30.139

00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:33.059
Oh,<00:40:30.940><c> so</c><00:40:31.159><c> now</c><00:40:31.380><c> we've</c><00:40:31.559><c> got</c><00:40:31.699><c> two</c><00:40:31.980><c> kings.</c>

00:40:34.139 --> 00:40:36.079
And<00:40:34.280><c> this</c><00:40:34.440><c> is</c><00:40:34.579><c> what</c><00:40:34.800><c> Pilate's</c><00:40:35.099><c> going</c><00:40:35.199><c> to</c><00:40:35.380><c> do.</c>

00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:39.000
He<00:40:36.559><c> comes</c><00:40:36.840><c> down</c><00:40:37.059><c> and</c><00:40:37.199><c> he</c><00:40:37.380><c> sits</c><00:40:37.559><c> in</c><00:40:38.139><c> the</c><00:40:38.460><c> pavement.</c>

00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:40.179
And<00:40:39.519><c> what's</c><00:40:39.800><c> that?</c>

00:40:40.679 --> 00:40:42.840
Well,<00:40:40.880><c> the</c><00:40:41.059><c> Greek</c><00:40:41.219><c> is</c><00:40:41.579><c> a</c><00:40:42.019><c> stone</c><00:40:42.440><c> pavement.</c>

00:40:45.239 --> 00:40:48.320
Julius<00:40:45.519><c> Caesar</c><00:40:46.079><c> actually</c><00:40:47.019><c> inaugurated</c><00:40:47.579><c> this</c><00:40:47.900><c> custom,</c>

00:40:48.320 --> 00:40:51.199
and<00:40:49.039><c> it</c><00:40:49.239><c> was</c><00:40:49.679><c> a</c><00:40:49.760><c> custom</c><00:40:50.119><c> they</c><00:40:50.480><c> all</c><00:40:50.760><c> kept</c>

00:40:57.860 --> 00:41:00.199

00:41:15.960 --> 00:41:18.059
Pilate<00:41:16.099><c> would</c><00:41:16.260><c> have</c><00:41:16.320><c> his</c><00:41:16.519><c> own</c><00:41:16.860><c> set</c><00:41:17.119><c> of</c><00:41:17.400><c> marble</c><00:41:17.699><c> stones</c>

00:41:18.059 --> 00:41:20.119

00:44:53.219 --> 00:44:54.679
But<00:44:53.699><c> they</c><00:44:53.860><c> said,</c><00:44:54.159><c> away</c><00:44:54.320><c> with</c><00:44:54.539><c> him.</c>

00:44:54.780 --> 00:44:57.300
Away<00:44:55.019><c> with</c><00:44:55.260><c> him.</c>

00:44:57.579 --> 00:44:59.219
So<00:44:57.739><c> Pilate</c><00:44:57.980><c> still</c><00:44:58.320><c> tries.</c>

00:44:59.559 --> 00:45:00.860
See,<00:44:59.699><c> they</c><00:44:59.860><c> were</c><00:44:59.980><c> saying,</c>

00:45:00.980 --> 00:45:03.320
we<00:45:01.159><c> will</c><00:45:01.539><c> not</c><00:45:01.760><c> have</c><00:45:01.960><c> this</c><00:45:02.280><c> man</c><00:45:02.500><c> to</c><00:45:02.719><c> reign</c><00:45:02.860><c> over</c><00:45:03.079><c> us.</c>

00:45:03.539 --> 00:45:04.420
Now,<00:45:03.880><c> brothers</c><00:45:03.960><c> and</c><00:45:04.199><c> sisters,</c>

00:45:04.539 --> 00:45:06.920
I<00:45:04.619><c> want</c><00:45:04.900><c> you</c><00:45:05.119><c> with</c><00:45:05.340><c> me</c><00:45:05.679><c> to</c><00:45:06.000><c> grasp</c><00:45:06.320><c> the</c><00:45:06.539><c> significance</c>

00:45:06.920 --> 00:45:08.559
of<00:45:07.099><c> what</c><00:45:07.539><c> we're</c><00:45:07.840><c> seeing.</c>

00:45:09.219 --> 00:45:12.079
Look,<00:45:09.420><c> you</c><00:45:09.719><c> just</c><00:45:09.960><c> get</c><00:45:10.079><c> the</c><00:45:10.280><c> significance</c><00:45:10.659><c> of</c><00:45:10.800><c> what</c><00:45:11.000><c> we're</c><00:45:11.320><c> seeing.</c>

00:45:12.360 --> 00:45:13.679
Up<00:45:12.719><c> here</c><00:45:12.960><c> on</c><00:45:13.139><c> the</c><00:45:13.360><c> pavement,</c>

00:45:13.940 --> 00:45:17.940
we've<00:45:14.139><c> got</c><00:45:14.340><c> a</c><00:45:14.679><c> Gentile</c><00:45:15.320><c> King</c><00:45:15.840><c> pleading</c><00:45:16.960><c> with</c><00:45:17.360><c> them</c>

00:45:17.940 --> 00:45:20.380
to<00:45:18.380><c> accept</c><00:45:19.019><c> a</c><00:45:19.559><c> Jewish</c><00:45:19.940><c> King.</c>

00:45:20.380 --> 00:45:24.099
And<00:45:21.139><c> down</c><00:45:21.599><c> there,</c><00:45:22.539><c> we've</c><00:45:22.739><c> got</c><00:45:22.920><c> the</c><00:45:23.119><c> people</c><00:45:23.340><c> of</c><00:45:23.519><c> the</c><00:45:23.739><c> Jews</c>

00:45:24.099 --> 00:45:28.099
pleading<00:45:25.059><c> with</c><00:45:25.340><c> that</c><00:45:25.579><c> Roman</c><00:45:25.940><c> for</c><00:45:26.320><c> a</c><00:45:26.639><c> Gentile</c><00:45:27.260><c> King.</c>

00:45:28.119 --> 00:45:31.260
And<00:45:28.159><c> the</c><00:45:28.360><c> God</c><00:45:28.519><c> of</c><00:45:28.699><c> Heaven</c><00:45:28.980><c> is</c><00:45:29.199><c> watching</c><00:45:29.539><c> this.</c>

00:45:31.820 --> 00:45:32.639
Imagine<00:45:32.360><c> that.</c>

00:45:33.039 --> 00:45:35.380
He<00:45:33.320><c> wants</c><00:45:33.639><c> them</c><00:45:33.860><c> to</c><00:45:33.960><c> have</c><00:45:34.059><c> a</c><00:45:34.239><c> Jewish</c><00:45:34.480><c> King,</c>

00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:38.260
and<00:45:35.559><c> they</c><00:45:35.820><c> want</c><00:45:36.139><c> him</c><00:45:36.539><c> to</c><00:45:36.780><c> give</c><00:45:36.920><c> them</c><00:45:37.260><c> a</c><00:45:37.460><c> Roman</c><00:45:37.840><c> King.</c>

00:45:38.739 --> 00:45:40.039
And<00:45:38.840><c> the</c><00:45:38.940><c> God</c><00:45:39.159><c> of</c><00:45:39.300><c> Heaven</c><00:45:39.440><c> is</c><00:45:39.619><c> looking</c><00:45:39.840><c> down</c>

00:45:40.039 --> 00:45:41.639
the<00:45:40.360><c> tragic</c><00:45:40.739><c> scenes</c><00:45:41.139><c> before</c><00:45:41.519><c> him.</c>

00:45:41.739 --> 00:45:44.280
You<00:45:41.739><c> couldn't</c><00:45:42.039><c> get</c><00:45:42.199><c> anything</c><00:45:42.480><c> more</c><00:45:42.860><c> ironic</c><00:45:43.340><c> if</c><00:45:43.619><c> ever</c><00:45:43.820><c> you</c><00:45:44.099><c> tried.</c>

00:45:44.739 --> 00:45:47.320
The<00:45:44.920><c> history</c><00:45:45.199><c> has</c><00:45:45.420><c> been</c><00:45:45.739><c> completely</c><00:45:46.300><c> inverted.</c>

00:45:47.579 --> 00:45:48.440
It's<00:45:47.940><c> unbelievable.</c>

00:45:48.440 --> 00:45:50.980
For<00:45:48.820><c> centuries,</c><00:45:49.659><c> they'd</c><00:45:49.900><c> fought</c><00:45:50.059><c> for</c><00:45:50.280><c> a</c><00:45:50.340><c> Jewish</c><00:45:50.619><c> King.</c>

00:45:51.320 --> 00:45:52.500
They'd<00:45:51.519><c> raised</c><00:45:51.840><c> insurrection.</c>

00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:53.840
They'd<00:45:53.139><c> caused</c><00:45:53.420><c> riots.</c>

00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:55.420
They'd<00:45:54.400><c> done</c><00:45:54.539><c> everything</c><00:45:54.860><c> they</c><00:45:55.119><c> could.</c>

00:45:55.639 --> 00:45:56.500
They<00:45:55.840><c> shed</c><00:45:56.139><c> blood.</c>

00:45:56.659 --> 00:45:57.539
They<00:45:56.800><c> killed</c><00:45:57.159><c> Greeks.</c>

00:45:57.659 --> 00:45:59.800
They<00:45:57.780><c> killed</c><00:45:58.119><c> Romans</c><00:45:58.460><c> for</c><00:45:58.679><c> a</c><00:45:59.340><c> Jewish</c><00:45:59.539><c> King.</c>

00:45:59.980 --> 00:46:02.500
He's<00:46:00.400><c> offering</c><00:46:00.760><c> them</c><00:46:01.000><c> a</c><00:46:01.000><c> Jewish</c><00:46:01.360><c> King.</c>

00:46:03.800 --> 00:46:05.920
And<00:46:03.900><c> they</c><00:46:03.980><c> said,</c><00:46:04.219><c> then</c><00:46:04.239><c> we</c><00:46:04.360><c> want</c><00:46:04.500><c> a</c><00:46:04.639><c> Roman</c><00:46:04.980><c> King.</c>

00:46:06.699 --> 00:46:08.179
It's<00:46:07.079><c> unbelievable.</c>

00:46:08.260 --> 00:46:11.119
The<00:46:08.579><c> irony</c><00:46:08.900><c> of</c><00:46:09.099><c> this</c><00:46:09.280><c> is</c><00:46:09.599><c> unbelievable.</c>

00:46:12.260 --> 00:46:14.800
Pilate<00:46:12.420><c> makes</c><00:46:12.679><c> his</c><00:46:13.039><c> last</c><00:46:13.639><c> desperate</c><00:46:14.159><c> attempt</c>

00:46:14.800 --> 00:46:19.619

00:46:19.679 --> 00:46:23.880
Your<00:46:20.219><c> King,</c><00:46:21.820><c> shall</c><00:46:22.159><c> I</c><00:46:22.400><c> crucify</c><00:46:22.900><c> him?</c>

00:46:24.420 --> 00:46:26.599
And<00:46:24.500><c> that</c><00:46:24.719><c> brought,</c><00:46:25.239><c> brothers</c><00:46:25.320><c> and</c><00:46:25.539><c> sisters,</c>

00:46:27.440 --> 00:46:29.039
the<00:46:27.599><c> tremendous</c><00:46:28.019><c> climax.</c>

00:46:29.380 --> 00:46:31.179
I<00:46:29.460><c> want</c><00:46:29.619><c> you</c><00:46:29.739><c> to</c><00:46:29.880><c> note</c><00:46:30.000><c> this.</c>

00:46:32.179 --> 00:46:33.900
Tremendous<00:46:32.820><c> climax.</c>

00:46:34.739 --> 00:46:38.880
Your<00:46:35.139><c> King,</c><00:46:36.920><c> shall</c><00:46:37.139><c> I</c><00:46:37.340><c> crucify</c><00:46:37.860><c> him?</c>

00:46:39.539 --> 00:46:40.980
Now<00:46:39.800><c> look</c><00:46:39.900><c> at</c><00:46:40.019><c> the</c><00:46:40.019><c> end</c><00:46:40.219><c> of</c><00:46:40.320><c> verse</c><00:46:40.500><c> 15.</c>

00:46:41.019 --> 00:46:43.059
Don't<00:46:41.380><c> miss</c><00:46:41.679><c> this.</c>

00:46:43.219 --> 00:46:46.360
The<00:46:43.699><c> Chief</c><00:46:44.059><c> Priest</c><00:46:44.360><c> asks</c><00:46:44.599><c> it.</c>

00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:48.000
That's<00:46:47.340><c> all</c><00:46:47.480><c> it</c><00:46:47.619><c> says.</c>

00:46:48.280 --> 00:46:51.099
Now<00:46:48.480><c> okay,</c><00:46:49.579><c> it</c><00:46:49.619><c> doesn't</c><00:46:49.780><c> say</c><00:46:50.000><c> the</c><00:46:50.239><c> Jews.</c>

00:46:51.840 --> 00:46:54.420

00:47:05.699 --> 00:47:07.780
We<00:47:06.000><c> have</c><00:47:06.159><c> no</c><00:47:06.440><c> King</c><00:47:06.679><c> but</c><00:47:06.920><c> Caesar.</c>

00:47:19.239 --> 00:47:21.239
It's<00:47:19.400><c> one</c><00:47:19.539><c> of</c><00:47:19.619><c> the</c><00:47:19.679><c> greatest</c><00:47:20.039><c> comments</c><00:47:20.440><c> I've</c><00:47:20.639><c> ever</c><00:47:20.920><c> read</c>
