00:09:50.419 --> 00:09:52.419
He<00:09:50.419><c> just</c><00:09:50.440><c> drops</c><00:09:50.840><c> a</c><00:09:51.279><c> little</c><00:09:51.480><c> note</c><00:09:52.039><c> in,</c>

they<00:09:52.879><c> redressed</c><00:09:53.379><c> him</c><00:09:53.600><c> in</c><00:09:53.779><c> his</c><00:09:54.019><c> own</c><00:09:54.519><c> clothes.</c>

00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:58.860
That<00:09:55.799><c> was</c><00:09:56.179><c> critical</c><00:09:57.100><c> when</c><00:09:57.840><c> it</c><00:09:58.019><c> come</c><00:09:58.120><c> to</c><00:09:58.220><c> that</c><00:09:58.480><c> cross,</c>

00:11:59.960 --> 00:12:02.220
Now<00:12:00.120><c> Paul</c><00:12:00.279><c> says</c><00:12:00.480><c> it's</c><00:12:00.679><c> no</c><00:12:00.879><c> good</c><00:12:01.000><c> being</c><00:12:01.320><c> a</c><00:12:01.559><c> hearer</c><00:12:01.820><c> of</c><00:12:02.000><c> the</c><00:12:02.139><c> law,</c>

00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.100
Luke<00:12:07.519><c> says</c><00:12:07.759><c> he</c><00:12:07.840><c> was</c><00:12:08.100><c> coming</c><00:12:08.399><c> in</c><00:12:08.759><c> out</c><00:12:08.940><c> of</c><00:12:09.039><c> the</c><00:12:09.240><c> country.</c>

He<00:12:10.279><c> was</c><00:12:10.480><c> coming</c><00:12:10.799><c> into</c><00:12:11.279><c> Jerusalem,</c>

00:12:14.580 --> 00:12:17.320
And<00:12:14.740><c> they</c><00:12:15.059><c> grabbed</c><00:12:15.379><c> him</c><00:12:15.659><c> and</c><00:12:15.840><c> made</c><00:12:16.080><c> him</c><00:12:16.279><c> do</c><00:12:16.500><c> something.</c>

00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:18.960
That's<00:12:18.500><c> interesting.</c>

00:12:19.440 --> 00:12:21.539
Remember<00:12:19.879><c> the</c><00:12:20.240><c> occasion,</c><00:12:20.740><c> brothers</c><00:12:21.080><c> and</c><00:12:21.279><c> sisters,</c>

that<00:12:35.720><c> he</c><00:12:36.120><c> would</c><00:12:36.360><c> tell</c><00:12:36.500><c> the</c><00:12:36.659><c> Lord</c><00:12:36.799><c> to</c><00:12:36.940><c> have</c><00:12:37.120><c> pity</c><00:12:37.320><c> upon</c><00:12:37.539><c> himself.</c>

00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:40.659
He<00:12:37.879><c> didn't</c><00:12:38.120><c> have</c><00:12:38.379><c> to</c><00:12:38.480><c> go</c><00:12:38.840><c> and</c><00:12:39.159><c> die</c><00:12:39.360><c> upon</c><00:12:39.559><c> the</c><00:12:39.860><c> stake.</c>

00:12:45.299 --> 00:12:49.159
He<00:12:45.879><c> reverted</c><00:12:46.360><c> to</c><00:12:46.679><c> his</c><00:12:47.419><c> ordinary</c><00:12:48.100><c> name.</c>

00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.100
The<00:12:49.600><c> Lord</c><00:12:49.840><c> had</c><00:12:50.440><c> graced</c><00:12:50.779><c> him</c><00:12:51.120><c> with</c><00:12:51.340><c> the</c><00:12:51.340><c> name</c><00:12:51.600><c> of</c><00:12:51.879><c> Peter.</c>

00:23:16.460 --> 00:23:17.559
Interesting<00:23:16.799><c> isn't</c><00:23:17.059><c> it?</c>

00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:19.000
But<00:23:17.980><c> Simon</c><00:23:18.200><c> had</c><00:23:18.539><c> a</c><00:23:18.660><c> background</c>

00:54:45.630 --> 00:54:47.889
over<00:54:45.909><c> the</c><00:54:46.030><c> top</c><00:54:46.150><c> of</c><00:54:46.329><c> the</c><00:54:46.510><c> sheets.</c><00:54:46.889><c> It</c><00:54:47.070><c> all</c><00:54:47.309><c> has</c><00:54:47.550><c> to</c><00:54:47.769><c> do</c>

00:54:47.889 --> 00:54:50.030
with<00:54:48.110><c> a</c><00:54:48.230><c> heap</c><00:54:48.369><c> of</c><00:54:48.650><c> sheets</c><00:54:48.849><c> in</c><00:54:49.050><c> a</c><00:54:49.210><c> valley</c><00:54:49.449><c> of</c><00:54:49.829><c> judgement.</c>

00:54:50.230 --> 00:54:51.369
So<00:54:50.309><c> Brother</c><00:54:50.510><c> Thomas</c><00:54:50.789><c> said</c>

00:54:51.369 --> 00:54:52.929
what<00:54:51.610><c> it</c><00:54:51.750><c> says</c><00:54:51.849><c> in</c><00:54:52.050><c> the</c><00:54:52.230><c> Hebrew</c><00:54:52.429><c> tongue</c>

00:54:52.929 --> 00:54:56.409
it's<00:54:53.409><c> a</c><00:54:53.510><c> Hebrew</c><00:54:53.750><c> idea,</c><00:54:54.809><c> not</c><00:54:54.969><c> just</c><00:54:55.150><c> a</c><00:54:55.250><c> Hebrew</c><00:54:55.449><c> word.</c>

00:54:56.530 --> 00:54:57.409
Why<00:54:56.750><c> don't</c><00:54:56.869><c> we</c><00:54:57.030><c> do</c><00:54:57.090><c> the</c><00:54:57.269><c> same</c>

00:54:57.409 --> 00:54:59.210

Golgotha.

00:55:03.849 --> 00:55:05.329
Now<00:55:04.030><c> it's</c><00:55:04.150><c> only</c><00:55:04.230><c> winded</c><00:55:04.610><c> once,</c><00:55:05.230><c> stalled</c>

00:55:57.030 --> 00:55:58.329
Golgotha.

00:55:58.829 --> 00:56:00.150
So<00:55:59.070><c> how</c><00:55:59.369><c> on</c><00:55:59.489><c> earth</c><00:55:59.590><c> does</c><00:55:59.750><c> that</c><00:55:59.949><c> mean</c>

00:56:00.150 --> 00:56:01.550
in<00:56:00.210><c> the</c><00:56:00.389><c> Hebrew</c><00:56:00.710><c> tongue?</c>

00:56:01.710 --> 00:56:02.949
What<00:56:01.869><c> does</c><00:56:02.090><c> John</c><00:56:02.289><c> mean</c><00:56:02.610><c> then?</c>

00:56:03.349 --> 00:56:05.849
It<00:56:03.829><c> simply</c><00:56:04.150><c> means</c><00:56:04.349><c> to</c><00:56:04.469><c> be</c><00:56:04.769><c> ahead.</c>

00:56:05.909 --> 00:56:07.929
The<00:56:06.010><c> word</c><00:56:06.489><c> Golgotha</c><00:56:06.949><c> is</c><00:56:07.090><c> from</c><00:56:07.389><c> Galgal</c>

00:56:07.929 --> 00:56:09.590
which<00:56:08.130><c> means</c><00:56:08.409><c> a</c><00:56:08.650><c> wheel,</c><00:56:09.590><c> right?</c>

00:56:09.690 --> 00:56:11.829
Galgal<00:56:10.170><c> is</c><00:56:10.409><c> a</c><00:56:10.550><c> wheel.</c><00:56:10.969><c> Gilgal,</c><00:56:11.550><c> you</c><00:56:11.550><c> see,</c>

00:56:12.010 --> 00:56:13.769
rolling.<00:56:12.530><c> Remember</c><00:56:12.809><c> that?</c>

00:56:14.409 --> 00:56:15.769
They<00:56:14.889><c> circumcised</c><00:56:15.369><c> them</c><00:56:15.550><c> in</c><00:56:15.670><c> there</c>

00:56:15.769 --> 00:56:18.110
and<00:56:15.889><c> they</c><00:56:16.130><c> rolled</c><00:56:16.250><c> away</c><00:56:16.590><c> the</c><00:56:17.269><c> approach</c><00:56:17.690><c> of</c><00:56:17.929><c> Egypt.</c>

00:56:18.409 --> 00:56:19.869
So<00:56:18.530><c> it's</c><00:56:18.610><c> like</c><00:56:18.789><c> a</c><00:56:18.989><c> Galgal,</c><00:56:19.369><c> a</c><00:56:19.570><c> wheel.</c>

00:56:20.170 --> 00:56:21.789
So<00:56:20.469><c> Golgotha</c><00:56:21.070><c> has</c><00:56:21.250><c> got</c><00:56:21.389><c> that</c><00:56:21.570><c> idea</c>

00:56:21.789 --> 00:56:23.130
of<00:56:22.010><c> a</c><00:56:22.130><c> wheel,</c><00:56:22.329><c> that</c><00:56:22.469><c> which</c><00:56:22.570><c> is</c><00:56:22.869><c> rolling</c>

00:56:23.130 --> 00:56:25.429
and<00:56:23.389><c> hence</c><00:56:23.670><c> that</c><00:56:23.869><c> which</c><00:56:24.010><c> is</c><00:56:24.429><c> round.</c>

00:56:25.670 --> 00:56:27.530
And<00:56:25.869><c> out</c><00:56:25.949><c> of</c><00:56:26.030><c> that</c><00:56:26.230><c> came</c><00:56:26.469><c> the</c><00:56:26.570><c> idea</c><00:56:27.070><c> of</c>

00:56:27.530 --> 00:56:29.329
a<00:56:27.869><c> cranium,</c><00:56:28.329><c> a</c><00:56:28.469><c> skull.</c>

00:56:30.250 --> 00:56:32.750
That's<00:56:30.590><c> the</c><00:56:31.170><c> derivation</c><00:56:31.730><c> of</c><00:56:31.909><c> that.</c>

00:56:32.969 --> 00:56:33.809
Now<00:56:33.150><c> it</c><00:56:33.150><c> does</c><00:56:33.469><c> mean</c><00:56:33.650><c> that.</c>

00:56:33.829 --> 00:56:35.530
It<00:56:33.929><c> does</c><00:56:34.190><c> mean</c><00:56:34.369><c> a</c><00:56:34.530><c> skull.</c><00:56:34.750><c> No</c><00:56:34.849><c> doubt</c><00:56:34.989><c> about</c><00:56:35.250><c> that.</c>

00:56:35.650 --> 00:56:37.690
But<00:56:35.789><c> it</c><00:56:35.929><c> also</c><00:56:36.230><c> means</c><00:56:36.469><c> to</c><00:56:36.630><c> be</c><00:56:36.829><c> numbered.</c>

00:56:39.030 --> 00:56:39.670
Now<00:56:39.269><c> I'll</c><00:56:39.469><c> show</c><00:56:39.570><c> you</c>

00:56:39.670 --> 00:56:41.469

00:56:41.670 --> 00:56:43.730

00:56:48.429 --> 00:56:49.730
You'll<00:56:48.949><c> see</c><00:56:49.050><c> the</c><00:56:49.250><c> idea</c>

00:56:49.730 --> 00:56:51.469
in<00:56:50.510><c> Exodus</c><00:56:50.909><c> 16</c>

of<00:59:12.690><c> the</c><00:59:12.849><c> sanctuary</c><00:59:13.170><c> was</c><00:59:13.389><c> a</c><00:59:13.510><c> very</c><00:59:13.829><c> small</c><00:59:14.090><c> amount.</c>

00:59:14.570 --> 00:59:17.210
God<00:59:14.730><c> did</c><00:59:15.010><c> not</c><00:59:15.170><c> put</c><00:59:15.309><c> any</c><00:59:15.650><c> confidence</c><00:59:16.070><c> in</c><00:59:16.409><c> flesh.</c>

00:59:17.510 --> 00:59:18.389
But<00:59:17.670><c> you</c><00:59:17.869><c> paid</c><00:59:18.110><c> it</c>

00:59:35.030 --> 00:59:36.610
You<00:59:35.230><c> got</c><00:59:35.329><c> it</c><00:59:35.469><c> in</c><00:59:35.590><c> the</c><00:59:35.789><c> manna.</c><00:59:36.170><c> You</c><00:59:36.309><c> got</c><00:59:36.449><c> it</c>

00:59:38.869 --> 00:59:40.610

It's<00:59:43.250><c> incredible,</c><00:59:43.949><c> isn't</c><00:59:44.070><c> it?</c>

00:59:44.929 --> 00:59:46.750

01:00:01.510 --> 01:00:03.409

01:00:42.730 --> 01:00:44.530
It<01:00:42.809><c> really</c><01:00:43.309><c> is.</c>

01:00:45.750 --> 01:00:47.230
John<01:00:46.030><c> says</c><01:00:46.449><c> that</c>

01:00:47.610 --> 01:00:49.650

I<01:00:57.230><c> just</c><01:00:57.349><c> want</c><01:00:57.449><c> to</c><01:00:57.610><c> finish</c><01:00:57.929><c> with</c><01:00:58.130><c> just</c><01:00:58.289><c> a</c><01:00:58.510><c> consideration</c>

01:05:41.369 --> 01:05:43.489
The<01:05:41.650><c> fever</c><01:05:41.849><c> which</c><01:05:42.150><c> soon</c><01:05:42.449><c> set</c><01:05:42.769><c> in,</c><01:05:43.110><c> produced</c>

complete.

01:06:03.570 --> 01:06:04.750
From<01:06:03.789><c> the</c><01:06:04.070><c> beginning,</c><01:06:04.610><c> Jesus</c>

01:06:04.750 --> 01:06:06.829
had<01:06:05.070><c> foreseen</c><01:06:05.989><c> that</c><01:06:06.389><c> such</c><01:06:06.610><c> would</c>

01:06:12.469 --> 01:06:15.030
All<01:06:12.909><c> the</c><01:06:13.070><c> Bible</c><01:06:13.369><c> says</c><01:06:13.710><c> is</c>

01:06:15.250 --> 01:06:16.710
they're<01:06:15.730><c> crucified.</c>

01:06:18.389 --> 01:06:19.030
We<01:06:18.489><c> need</c><01:06:18.730><c> to</c>

01:06:22.710 --> 01:06:24.510
that.<01:06:24.369><c> Luke</c>

01:06:24.510 --> 01:06:26.409
makes<01:06:24.849><c> the</c><01:06:25.090><c> point</c><01:06:25.389><c> that</c><01:06:25.550><c> at</c><01:06:25.750><c> that</c><01:06:25.989><c> stage</c>

01:06:26.409 --> 01:06:27.989
he<01:06:26.610><c> prayed</c><01:06:26.849><c> for</c><01:06:27.070><c> them.</c>

01:06:28.750 --> 01:06:30.710
Luke<01:06:28.989><c> 23,</c><01:06:29.489><c> at</c><01:06:30.230><c> that</c><01:06:30.429><c> very</c>

01:06:30.710 --> 01:06:32.110
point<01:06:30.909><c> of</c><01:06:31.110><c> history</c>

01:06:32.309 --> 01:06:34.909
the<01:06:32.789><c> Lord</c><01:06:33.030><c> prayed</c><01:06:33.349><c> for</c><01:06:33.530><c> his</c><01:06:33.730><c> murders.</c>

01:06:36.789 --> 01:06:38.489
Luke<01:06:37.010><c> makes</c><01:06:37.309><c> that</c><01:06:37.550><c> point,</c><01:06:37.889><c> brothers</c><01:06:38.050><c> and</c><01:06:38.289><c> sisters.</c>

01:06:38.650 --> 01:06:41.329
It's<01:06:38.989><c> incredible,</c><01:06:39.570><c> isn't</c><01:06:39.809><c> it?</c>

01:06:41.429 --> 01:06:43.409
He<01:06:42.030><c> prayed</c><01:06:42.409><c> for</c><01:06:42.610><c> them.</c>

01:06:45.170 --> 01:06:46.929
Then<01:06:45.349><c> said</c><01:06:45.550><c> Jesus</c><01:06:45.849><c> in</c><01:06:46.050><c> verse</c><01:06:46.349><c> 34,</c>

01:06:46.989 --> 01:06:48.949
Father,<01:06:47.489><c> forgive</c><01:06:47.809><c> them</c>

01:06:48.949 --> 01:06:51.130
for<01:06:49.190><c> they</c><01:06:49.349><c> know</c><01:06:49.550><c> not</c><01:06:49.710><c> what</c><01:06:49.869><c> they</c><01:06:50.050><c> do.</c><01:06:50.510><c> He</c><01:06:50.630><c> made</c>

01:06:51.130 --> 01:06:53.210
intercession<01:06:51.809><c> for</c><01:06:52.289><c> the</c><01:06:52.510><c> transgressors.</c>

01:06:53.650 --> 01:06:54.889
He<01:06:53.750><c> was</c><01:06:53.969><c> numbered</c><01:06:54.230><c> with</c><01:06:54.469><c> them</c>

01:06:54.889 --> 01:06:56.889
and<01:06:55.070><c> he</c><01:06:55.230><c> made</c><01:06:55.530><c> intercession</c><01:06:56.170><c> for</c><01:06:56.590><c> his</c>

01:06:56.889 --> 01:06:58.650
murderers,<01:06:57.489><c> brothers</c><01:06:57.670><c> and</c><01:06:57.869><c> sisters.</c>

01:06:58.750 --> 01:07:01.869
Peter<01:06:59.030><c> says,</c><01:06:59.449><c> leaving</c><01:06:59.909><c> us</c><01:07:00.550><c> an</c><01:07:00.889><c> example.</c>

01:07:01.969 --> 01:07:02.989
Quoting<01:07:02.329><c> those</c><01:07:02.610><c> words</c>

01:07:02.989 --> 01:07:04.750
of<01:07:03.190><c> the</c><01:07:03.309><c> Lord</c><01:07:04.070><c> and</c><01:07:04.650><c> the</c>

01:07:04.750 --> 01:07:06.989
prophet<01:07:05.130><c> Isaiah,</c><01:07:05.710><c> making</c><01:07:06.090><c> intercession</c><01:07:06.590><c> for</c><01:07:06.769><c> the</c>

transgressions,<01:07:07.570><c> he</c><01:07:07.630><c> said,</c><01:07:07.849><c> leaving</c><01:07:08.429><c> us</c>

01:07:09.130 --> 01:07:11.849
an<01:07:09.630><c> example.</c><01:07:09.849><c> It</c><01:07:09.969><c> is</c><01:07:10.449><c> very,</c><01:07:11.130><c> very,</c>

01:07:11.849 --> 01:07:13.769
very<01:07:12.570><c> difficult</c>

01:07:14.230 --> 01:07:15.230
to<01:07:14.750><c> pray</c><01:07:15.090><c> for</c>

01:07:15.230 --> 01:07:17.210
those<01:07:15.570><c> who</c><01:07:15.789><c> ill</c><01:07:16.030><c>-treat</c><01:07:16.289><c> you,</c>

who<01:07:17.710><c> defame</c><01:07:18.210><c> you.</c>

01:07:19.809 --> 01:07:21.469
It's<01:07:20.170><c> extremely</c><01:07:20.849><c> difficult,</c>

01:07:21.630 --> 01:07:23.710
brothers<01:07:21.750><c> and</c><01:07:21.949><c> sisters,</c><01:07:22.309><c> and</c><01:07:22.530><c> we</c><01:07:22.670><c> find</c><01:07:22.949><c> it</c>

01:07:23.769 --> 01:07:25.349
almost<01:07:24.130><c> impossible.</c><01:07:24.849><c> And</c><01:07:25.030><c> perhaps</c>

01:07:25.349 --> 01:07:27.150
sometimes<01:07:25.849><c> we</c><01:07:26.030><c> may</c><01:07:26.309><c> gather</c><01:07:26.570><c> the</c><01:07:26.889><c> strength</c>

01:07:27.150 --> 01:07:29.170

to<01:07:29.409><c> do</c><01:07:29.510><c> it.</c><01:07:30.570><c> We</c><01:07:30.789><c> might</c><01:07:30.989><c> even</c>

01:07:31.269 --> 01:07:33.130
doubt<01:07:31.409><c> our</c><01:07:31.650><c> own</c><01:07:31.909><c> sincerity</c><01:07:32.409><c> in</c><01:07:32.610><c> doing</c><01:07:32.730><c> it.</c><01:07:32.849><c> We</c><01:07:33.010><c> might</c>

01:07:35.010 --> 01:07:37.389
It's<01:07:35.530><c> extremely</c><01:07:36.289><c> difficult</c><01:07:36.690><c> to</c><01:07:37.010><c> pray</c>

01:07:43.170 --> 01:07:45.550
There's<01:07:43.630><c> a</c><01:07:43.829><c> marvelous</c><01:07:44.230><c> example</c><01:07:44.650><c> in</c><01:07:44.849><c> that.</c>

01:07:45.949 --> 01:07:47.769
The<01:07:46.050><c> greatest</c><01:07:46.670><c> of</c><01:07:47.090><c> all</c><01:07:47.349><c> examples</c>

01:07:49.530 --> 01:07:51.630
All<01:07:50.010><c> we've</c><01:07:50.409><c> considered</c><01:07:50.610><c> about</c><01:07:50.929><c> him</c><01:07:51.030><c> from</c><01:07:51.190><c> the</c><01:07:51.349><c> time</c>
