• 0:27
  Speaker 1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: with God, and the Word was God. He was with
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: God in the beginning. Through him, all things were made.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Without him, nothing was made. That has been made. In
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: him was life, and that life was the light of
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: darkness has not overcome it. There was a man sent
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: from God whose name was John. He came as a
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: all might believe. He himself was not the light. He
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: came only as a witness to the light. The true
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: light that gives light to every one, was coming into
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: the world. He was in the world, and though the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: He came to that which was his own, but his
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: own did not receive him.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Yet to all who.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Did receive him, to those who believed in his name,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: he gave the right to become children of God, children
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a husband's will, but born of God. The Word became
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: his glory, the glory of the one and only Son,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, this is
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the one I spoke when I said, he who comes
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: after me has surpassed me because he was before me.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Out of his fullness.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: We have all received grace in place of grace already given,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: for the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: but the one and only Son, who is himself God
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: him known. Now, this was John's testimony. When the Jewish
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: leaders in Jerusalem sent priests and levites to ask him
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: who he was, he did not fail to confess, but
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: confessed freely. I am not the Messiah. They asked him, then,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: who are you? Are you Elijah? He said, I am not.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Are you the Prophet? He answered no. Finally they said
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: who are you? Give us an answer to take back
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: John replied, in the words of Isaiah the Prophet, I
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, make
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: straight the way for the Lord. Now, the Pharisees, who
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: had been sent questioned him, why then do you baptize
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah nor the Prophet.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I baptize with water. John replied, but among you stands
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: one you do not know. He is the one who
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: not worthy to untie. This all happened at Bethany, on
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: The next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, look,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: the lamb of God, who takes away the sin of
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the world. This is the one I met when I said,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a man who comes after me has surpassed me because
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: he was before me. I myself did not know him.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: But the reason I came baptized with water was that
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: he might be revealed to Israel. Then John gave this testimony.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: dove and remain on him, and I myself did not
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: know him. But the one who sent me to baptize
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: with water told me, the man on whom you see
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the Spirit come down and remain is the one who
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: will baptize with the Holy Spirit. I have seen and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I testify that this is God's chosen one. The next day,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: John was there again with two of his disciples. When
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: he saw Jesus passing by, he said, look the lamb
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: of God. When the two disciples heard him say this,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: they followed Jesus. Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: what do you want. They said, rabbi, which means teacher,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: where are you staying? Come, he replied, and you will see.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: So they went and saw where he was staying, and
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: they spent that day with him. It was about four
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: in the afternoon. Andrew, Simon, Peter's brother, was one of
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the two who heard what John had said and who
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: had followed Jesus. The first thing Andrew did was to
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: find his brother Simon and tell him we have found
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: the Messiah, that is the Christ, and he brought him
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, you are Simon,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: son of John. You will be called Cephus, which when
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: translated is Peter. The next day, Jesus decided to leave
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: for Galilee. Finding Philip, he said to him, follow me. Philip,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: like Andrew and Peter, was from the town of Bethseda.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Philip found Nathaniel then told him, we have found the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: the prophets also wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Joseph Nazareth. Can anyone good come from there? Nathaniel asked,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Come and see, said Philip. When Jesus saw Nathaniel approaching,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: he said of him, here truly is an Israelite in
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: whom there is no deceit. How do you know me,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Nathaniel asked. Jesus answered, I saw you while you were
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: still under the fig tree before Philip called you. Then
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Nathaniel declared, Rabbi, you are the son of God. You
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: are the King of Israel. Jesus said, you believe because
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I told you I saw you under the fig tree.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: You will see greater things than that. He then added,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: very truly, I tell you, you will see Heaven open
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: and the angels of God ascending and descending. On the
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Son of Man John chapter two. On the third day,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: a wedding took place at Conna in Galilee. Jesus' mother
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: was there, and Jesus sent his decidre Pipples had also
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Jesus' mother said to him, they have no more wine. Woman,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: why do you involve me. Jesus replied, my hour has
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: not yet come. His mother said, to the servants, do
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: whatever he tells you. Nearby stood six stone water jars,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: holding from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: fill the jars with water. So they filled them to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the brim. Then he told them, now draw some out
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and take it to the master of the banquet. They
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: water that had been turned into wine. He did not
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: realize where it had come from, though the servants who
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: aside and said, everyone brings out the choice wine first,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: and then the cheaper wine after. The guests have had
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: too much to try. But you have saved the best
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: till now. What Jesus did here in Kana of Galilee
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: was the first of the signs through which he revealed
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: his glory and his disciples believed in him. After this,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: he went down to Compernaum with his mother and brothers
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and his disciples.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: There they stayed for a few days.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: When it was almost time for the Jewish passover, Jesus
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: went up to Jerusalem. In the temple courts, he found
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: tables exchanging money. So he made a whip out of
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: courts and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: and cattle. He scattered the coins of the money changers
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and overturned at their tables. To those who sold doves,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: he said, get these out of here. Stop turning my
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: father's house into a market. His disciples remembered that it
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: is written zeal for your house will consume me. The
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Jews then responded to him, what sign can you show
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: us to prove your authority to do all this? Jesus
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: answered them, destroy this temple and I will raise it
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: again in three days. They replied, it has taken forty
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: six years to build this temple, and you are going
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to raise it in three days. But the temple he
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: had spoken of was his body. After he was raised
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: had spoken. Now, while he was in Jerusalem at the
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Passover festival, many people saw the signs he was performing
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: and believed in his name. But Jesus would not entrust
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: himself to them, for he knew all people. He did
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: was in each person.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: John chapter three.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: Now there was a pharisee, a man named Nicodemus, who
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: was a member of the Jewish ruling count. He came
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: to Jesus at night and said, Rabbi, we know that
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: you are a teacher who has come from God, for
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: no one could perform the signs you are doing if
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: God were not with him. Jesus replied, very truly, I
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: tell you, no one can see the Kingdom of God
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: unless they are born again. How can someone be born
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: when they are old, Nicodemus asked, surely they cannot enter
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: a second time into their mother's womb to be born.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Jesus answered, very truly, I tell you, no one can
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: enter the Kingdom of God unless they are born of
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: water and the spirit flesh gives birth to flesh, but
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: surprised at my saying you must be born again. The
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear it sound, but
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: you can not tell where it comes from or where
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: it is going. So it is with everyone born of
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: the spirit. How can this be? Nicodemus asked, you are
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Israel's teacher, said Jesus, and do you not understand these things?
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and we testify to what we have seen. But still
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: you people do not accept our testimony. I have spoken
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to you of earthly things, and you do not believe.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: How then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: No one has ever gone into heaven except the one
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: who came from heaven, the Son of Man. Just as
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: believes may have eternal life in him. For God so
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: loved the world that he gave his one and only son,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: that who whoever believes in him shall not perish, but
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: have eternal life. For God did not send his son
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: into the world to condemn the world, but to save
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: have not believed in the name of God's one and
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: only Son. This is the verdict. Light has come into
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the world, But people loved darkness instead of light because
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: light and will not come into the light for fear
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the truth comes into the light, so that it may
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: be seen plainly that what they have done has been
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: done in the sight of God. After this, Jesus and
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: his disciples went out into the Judean countryside, where he
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: spent some time with them and baptized. Now John was
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: also baptizing at Anon near Selim, because there was plenty
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: of water and people were coming and being baptized. This
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: was before John was put in prison. An argument developed
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: between some of John's disciples and a certain Jew over
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: the matter of ceremonial washing. They came to John and
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: said to him, Rabbi, that man who was with you
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: on the other side of the Jordan, the one you
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: testified about Look, he is baptizing and everyone is going
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: to him. To this, John replied, a person can receive
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: only what is given them from heaven. You yourselves can
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: testify that I said, I am not the Messiah, but
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: am sent ahead of him. The bride belongs to the bridegroom.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: and is full joy when he hears the bridegroom's voice
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: that joy is mine, and it is now complete. He
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: must become greater, I must become less. The one who
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: comes from above is above all. The one who is
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks as
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: is above all. He testifies to what he has seen
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. Whoever has
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: accepted it has certified that God is truthful. For the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: one whom God has sin speaks the words of God.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: For God gives the spirit without limit. The Father loves
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the Son and has placed everything in his hands. Whoever
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: the Son will not see life. For God's wrath remains
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: on them John chapter four. Now Jesus learned that the
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: disciples than John, although in fact it was not Jesus
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: who baptized but his disciples. So he left Judea and
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: went back once more to Galilee. Now he had to
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: go through Samaria. So he came to a town in
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Samaria called Seshar, near the plot of ground Jacob had
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: been given to his son Joseph. Jacob's well was there,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: down by the well. It was about noon when a
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: will you give me a drink? His disciples had gone
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: into the town to buy food. The Samaritan woman said
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: to him, you are a Jew and I am a
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: For Jews do not associate with Samaritans. Jesus answered her,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: if you knew the gift of God and who it
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: is that asks you for a drink, you would have
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: asked him and he would have given you living water.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Sir.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: The woman said, you have nothing to draw with and
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: the well is deep. Where can you get this living water?
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the well and drank from it himself, as did also
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: his sons and his live stock. Jesus answered, every one
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: who drinks this water will be thirsty again. But whoever
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: drinks the water I give them will never thirst Indeed,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the water I give them will become in them a
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: spring of water welling up to eternal life. The woman
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: said to him, Sir, give me this water so that
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I won't get thirsty and have to keep coming here
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: to draw water. He told her, go call your husband
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: and come back. I have no husband, she replied. Jesus
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: said to her, you are right when you say you
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: have no husband. The fact is you have had five husbands,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: and the man you now have is not your husband.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: What you have just said is quite true, sir. The
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: woman said, I can see that you are a prophet.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you Jews claim
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Woman Jesus replied, believe me, a time is coming when
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: you will worship the Father, neither on this mountain nor
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: We worship what we do know, for salvation is from
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: the Jews. Yet a time is coming and has now come,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: when the true worshippers will worship the Father in the
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: spirit and in truth. For they are the kind of worshippers.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: The Father seeks God is spirit, and his worshippers must
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: worship in the spirit and in truth. The woman said,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: I know that Messiah called Christ is coming. When he comes,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: he will explain everything to us. Then Jesus declared, I
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: the one speaking to you.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: I am he.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: him talking with a woman. But no one asked what
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: do you want or why are you talking with her?
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Then leaving her water jar, the woman went back to
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: the town and said to the people, come see a
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: man who told me everything I ever did. Could this
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: be the Messiah? They came out of the town and
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: made their way toward him. Meanwhile, his disciples urged him, Rabbi,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: eat something, but he said to them I have food
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: to eat that you know nothing about. Then his disciples
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: said to each other, could someone have brought him food?
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: My food said Jesus is to do the will of
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: him who sent me, and to finish his work. Don't
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: you have a saying it's still four months until harvest.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: They are ripe for harvest. Even now. The one who
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Thus the saying one sows in another reaps is true.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I sent you to reap what you have not worked for.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the benefits of their labor. Many of the Samaritans from
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: He told me everything I ever did. So when the
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: and he stayed two days, and because of his words,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: many more became believers. They said to the woman, we
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: no longer believe just because of what you said. Now
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: we have heard from ourselves, and we know that this
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: man really is the savior of the world. After the
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: two days he left for Galilee. Now Jesus himself had
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: pointed out that a prophet has no honor in his
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: own country. When he arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: They had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: at the Passover festival, for they also had been there.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Once more, he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: turned the water into wine. And there was a certain
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. When this
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: he went to him and begged him to come and
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: heal his son, who was close to death. Unless you
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: people see signs and wonders, Jesus told him, you will
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: never believe. The royal official said, sir, come down before
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: my child dies.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Go.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Jesus replied, your son will live. The man took Jesus
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: at his word and departed. While he was still on
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: the way, his servants met him with the news that
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: his boy was living. When he inquired as to the
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: time when his son got better, they said to him yesterday,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: at one in the afternoon, the fever left him.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Then the father.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: had said to him, your son will live. So he
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and his whole household believed this was the second sign
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Jesus performed after coming from Judea to Galilee John chapter five.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: of the Jewish festivals. Now there is in Jerusalem, near
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: the Sheep Gate, a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethseda,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. Here a
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: great number of disabled people used to lie, the blind,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: the lame, the paralyzed. One who was there had been
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: an invalid for thirty eight years. When Jesus saw him
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: lying there and learned that he had been in this
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: condition for a long time, he asked him, do you
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: want to get well?
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Sir?
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: The invalid replied, I have no one to help me
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: into the pool. When the water is stirred. While I
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: of me. Then Jesus said to him, get up, pick
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: up your mat, and walk. At once the man was cured.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: He picked up his mat and walked. The day on
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: which this took place was a sabbath, And so the
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Jewish leaders said to the man who had been healed,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: it is the sabbath the law forbids you to carry
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: your mat, But he replied, the man who made me
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: well said to me, pick up your mat and walk.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: So they asked him, who is this fellow who told
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: you to pick it up and walk. The man who
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: had slipped away into the crowd that was there. Later,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: Jesus found him at the temple and said to him,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: see you are well again. Stop sinning, or something worse
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: may happen to you. The man went away and told
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: him well. So, because Jesus was doing these things on
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him. In
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: his defense, Jesus said to them, my father is always
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: at his work to this very day, and I too
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: am working. For this reason, they tried all the more
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: to kill him. Not only was he breaking the Sabbath,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: but he was even calling God his own father, making
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: himself equal with God. Jesus gave them this answer, very true.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I tell you, the son can do nothing by himself.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: He can do only what he sees his father doing.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Because whatever the father does, the son also does. For
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: the Father loves the son and shows him all he does. Yes,
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: and he will show him even greater works than these,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: so that you will be amazed. For just as the
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: give it.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Moreover, the Father judges.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: No one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: that all may honor the son, just as they honor
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: the Father. Whoever does not honor the son, does not
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: honor the Father who sent him. Very truly, I tell you,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: has eternal life and will not be judged, but has
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: crossed over from death to life. Very truly, I tell
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: you a time is coming, and has now come, when
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: and those who here will live.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: For as the Father.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Has life in himself, so he has granted the Son
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: also to have life in himself, and he has given
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: him authority to judge, because he is the son of Man.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Do not be amazed at this, for a time is
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: coming when all who are in their graves will hear
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: his voice and come out those who have done what
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: is good will rise to live, and those who have
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: done what is evil or rise to be condemned. By myself,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: I can do nothing. I judge only as I hear,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: and my judgment is just, for I seek not to
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: please myself, but him who sent me. If I testify
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: about myself, my testimony is not true. There is another
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: who testifies in my favor, and I know that his
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: testimony about me is true. You have sent to John,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: and he has testified to the truth. Not that I
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: accept human testimony, but I mention it that you may
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: be saved. John was a lamp that burned and gave light,
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: and you chose for time to enjoy his light. I
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: have testimony weightier than that of John for the works
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: that the Father has given me to finish, the very
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: works that I am doing. Testify that the Father has
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: sent me. And the Father who sent me has himself
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice, nor
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: seen his form, nor does his word dwell in you,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: for you do not believe the one he sent. You
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: study the scriptures diligently because you think that in them
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: you have eternal life. These are the very scriptures that
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: to have life. I do not accept glory from human beings.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: But I know you. I know that you do not
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: have the love of God in your hearts. I have
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: But if some one else comes in his own name,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: you will accept him. How can you believe? Since you
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: accept glory from one another, but do not seek the
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: glory that comes from the only God. But do not
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. If you
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: But since you do not believe what he wrote, how
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: are you going to believe what I say? John chapter six.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: of the Sea of Galilee, that is the Sea of Tiberius,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: and a great crowd of people followed him because they
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: saw the sign he had performed by healing the sick.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Then Jesus went up on a mountain side and sat
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: down with his disciples. The Jewish Passover festival was near.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: toward him. He said to Philip, where shall we buy
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: bread for these people to eat? He asked this only
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: to test him, for he already had in mind what
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: he was going to do. Philip answered him it would
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: take more than half a year's wages to buy enough
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: bread for each one to have a bite. Another of
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: his disciples, Andrew Simon, Peter's brother, spoke up. Here was
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: But how far will they go among so many? Jesus said,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: have the people sit down. There was plenty of grass
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: in that place, and they sat down. About five thousand
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: men were there. Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: and distributed to those who were seated as much as
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: they wanted.
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: He did the same with the fish.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: When they had all had enough to eat, he said
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: to his disciples, gather the pieces that are left over.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Let nothing be wasted.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: who had eaten. After the people saw the sign Jesus performed,
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: they began to say, surely this is the prophet who
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: is to come into the world. Jesus, knowing that they
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: again to a mountain by himself. When evening came, his
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: disciples went down to the lake, where they got into
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: But now it was dark and Jesus had not yet
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: joined them. A strong wind was blowing and the waters
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: grew rough. When they had rowed about three or four miles,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: and they were frightened, but he said to them, it
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: is I, don't be afraid. Then they were willing to
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: to the shore where they were heading. The next day,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: the crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: the lake realized that only one boat had been there,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: but that they had gone away alone. Then some boats
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: from Tiberius landed near the place where the people had
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. Once
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: search of Jesus. When they found him on the other
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: side of the lake, they asked him, Rabbi, when did
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: you get here. Jesus answered, very truly, I.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: Tell you are.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: Looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Do not work for food that spoil.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: What for food that endures to eternal life, which the
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Son of Man will give you. For on him, God,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: the Father has placed his seal of approval. Then they
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: asked him what must we do to do the works
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: God requires? Jesus answered, the work of God is this
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: to believe in the one He has sent. So they
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: asked him, what sign, then, will you give that we
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: may see it and believe you.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: What will you do?
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, as it
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: is written, he gave them bread from heaven to eat.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Jesus said to them, very truly, I tell you, it
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: but it is my Father who gives you the true
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: bread from heaven. For the Bread of God is the
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: the world, Sir, They said, always give us this bread.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: Then Jesus declared, I am the bread of life. Whoever
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: in me will never be thirsty. But as I told you,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: you have seen me, and still you do not believe.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: All those the Father gives me will come to me.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: And whoever comes to me, I will never drive away.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: For I have come down from heaven not to do
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: my will, but to do the will of him who
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: sent me. And this is the will of him who
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: sent me, that I shall lose none of all those
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: he has given me, but raised them up at the
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: last day. For my father's will is that every one
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: who looks to the Son and believes in him shall
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: have eternal life, and I will raise them up at
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: the last day. At this the Jews there began to
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: grumble about him, because he said, I am the bread
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: that came down from heaven. They said, is this not Jesus,
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know?
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: How can he now say I came down from heaven.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Stop grumbling among yourselves. Jesus answered, no one can come
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: to me unless the Father who sent me draws them.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: I will raise them.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Up at the last day. It is written in the prophets.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: They will all be taught by God. Everyone who has
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: heard the Father and learned from him comes to me.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: No one has seen the Father except the one who
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: is from God. Only he has seen the Father. Very truly,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: manna in the wilderness. Yet they died. But here is
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: eat and not die. I am the living bread that
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: This bread is my flesh, which I will give for
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: the life of the world. Then the Jews began to
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: argue sharply among themselves. How can this man give us
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: his flesh to eat? Jesus said to them, very truly,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: blood has eternal life. And I will raise them up
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: at the last day. For the flesh is real food,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: and drinks my blood remains in me and i in them,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: just as the Living Father sent me, and I live
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: because of the Father. So the one who feeds on
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: me will live because of me. This is the bread
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate Manna and died,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: But whoever feeds on this bread will live forever. He
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum. On
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: hearing it, many of his disciples said, this is a
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: hard teaching. Who can accept it. Aware that his disciples
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, does this
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: offend you?
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Then?
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: What if you see the the son of Man as
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: sinned to where he was before. The spirit gives life.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: The flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: to you, they are full of the spirit and life.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: Yet there are some of you who do not believe.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: did not believe, and who would betray them. He went
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: on to say, this is why I told you that
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: no one can come to me unless the Father has
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: enabled them. From this time, many of his disciples turned back,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: and no longer followed him.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: You do not want to.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Leave too, do you, Jesus asked the twelve. Simon Peter
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: the words of eternal life. We have come to believe
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: and to know that you are the Holy One of God.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Then Jesus replied, have I not chosen you the twelve?
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Yet one of you is a devil? He meant, Judas,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: the son of Simon, is cared, who, though one of
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: the twelve, was later to betray him John chapter seven.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: want to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: there were looking for a way to kill him. But
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: when the Jewish festival of Tabernacles was near, jesus brothers
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: said to him, leave Galilee and go to Judea, so
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: that your disciples there may see the works you do.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: No one who wants to become a public figure acts
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: to the world. For even his own brothers did not
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: believe in him. Therefore Jesus told them, my time is
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: not yet here for you. Any time will do the
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: testify that its works are evil. You go to the festival.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: I am not going up to this festival because my
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: time has not yet fully come. After he had said this,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: he stayed in Galilee. However, after his brothers had left
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: for the festival, he went also, not publicly but in secret.
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: Now at the festival, the Jewish leaders were watching for
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Jesus and asking where is he. Among the crowds, there
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: was widespread whispering about him. Some said he is a
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: good man. Others replied, no, he deceives the people. But
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: no one would say anything publicly about him for fear
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: of the leaders. Not until halfway through the festival did
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: The Jews there were amazed and asked how did this
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: man get such learning without having been taught. Jesus answered,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: my teaching is not my own. It comes from the
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: one who sent me. Anyone who chooses to do the
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: will of God will find out whether my teaching comes
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: from God or whether I speak on my own. Whoever
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory.
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: But he who seeks the glory of the one who
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: sent him is a man of truth. There is nothing
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: false about him. Has not Moses given you the law?
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Yet not one of you keeps the law? Why are
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: you trying to kill me? You are demon possessed. The
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: crowd answered, who is trying to kill you? Jesus said
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: to them, I did one miracle, and you are all amazed. Yet,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: because Moses gave you circumcision, though actually it did not
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: come from Moses, but from the patriarchs, you circumcise a
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: boy on the sabbath. Now, if a boy can be
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: circumcised on the sabbath, so that the law of Moses
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: may not be broken, why are you angry with me
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: for healing a man's whole body on the sabbath? Stop
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly. At that point,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: some of the people of Jerusalem began to ask, isn't
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: this the man they are trying to kill? Here he
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: is speaking publicly and they are not saying a word
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: to him. Have the authorities really concluded that he is
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: the Messiah? But we know where this man is from.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: When the Messiah comes, no one will know where he
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: is from. Then, Jesus, still teaching in the Temple courts
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: cried out, Yes, you know me, and you know where
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: I am from. I am not here on my own authority,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: but he who sent me is true. You do not
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: know him, but I know him because I am from
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: him and he sent me. At this they tried to
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: seize him, but no one laid a hand on him,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: because his hour had not yet come. Still, many in
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: the crowd believed in him. They said, when the Messiah comes,
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: will he perform more more signs than this man. The
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about him. Then
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: arrest him. Jesus said, I am with you for only
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: a short time, and then I am going to the
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: one who sent me. You will look for me, but
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: you will not find me, and where I am you
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: cannot come. The Jews said to one another, where does
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: this man intend to go that we cannot find him?
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: Will he go where our people live scattered among the Greeks,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: and teach the Greeks what did he mean when he said,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: you will look for me, but you will not find me,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: and where I am you cannot come. On the last
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: in a loud voice, let anyone who is thirsty come
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: to me and drink, whoever believes in me. As Scripture
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: By this, he meant the spirit whom those who believed
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: in him were later to receive. Up to that time,
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: the spirit had not yet been given, since Jesus had
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: not yet been glorified. On hearing his words, some of
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: the people said, surely this man is the prophet. Others
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: said he is the Messiah. Still others asked, how can
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: the Messiah come from Galilee? Does not scriptures say that
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: the Messiah will come from David's descendants and from Bethlehem,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: the town where David lived. Thus the people were divided
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: because of Jesus. Some wanted to seize him, but no
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: one laid a hand on him. Finally, the temple guards
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: went back to the chief priests and the Pharisees, who
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: asked them, why didn't you bring him in? No one
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: ever spoke the way this man does. The guards replied,
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: he has deceived you.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: Also.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: The pharisees retorted, have any of the rulers or of
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: the pharisees believed in him. No, but this mob that
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: knows nothing of the law, there was a curse on them. Nicodemus,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: of their own number, asked, does our law condemn a
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: man without first hearing him to find out what he
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: has been doing? They replied, are you from Galilee too?
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Look into it and you will find that a prophet
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: does not come out of Galilee. Then they all went
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: home John chapter eight. But Jesus went to the Mount
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: of Olives. At dawn, he appeared again in the temple courts,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: where all the people gathered around him, and he sat
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: down to teach them. The teachers of the law and
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: the pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, teacher,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: this woman was caught in the act of adultery in
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: the law. Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now,
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: what do you say. They were using this question as
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: a trap in order to have a basis for accusing him,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: But Jesus bent down and started to ride on the
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: he straightened up and said to them, let any one
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: of you who is without sin be the first to
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: throw a stone at her. Again, he stooped down and
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: rode on the ground. At this, those who heard began
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: to go away, one at a time, the older ones first,
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: Jesus straightened up and asked her, woman, where are they?
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Has no one condemned you? No one, sir, she said,
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: then neither do I condemn you. Jesus took del Go
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: now and leave your life of sin. When Jesus spoke
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: again to the people, he said, I am the light
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness,
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: but will have the light of life. The Pharisees challenged him,
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: here you are appearing as your own witness. Your testimony
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: is not valid. Jesus answered, even if I testify on
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: my own behalf. My testimony is valid, for I know
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: where I came from and where I am going. But
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: you have no idea where I come from or where
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: I am going. You judge by human standards. I pass
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: judgment on no one. But if I do judge, my
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: decisions are true because I am not alone. I stand
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: with the father who sent me. In your own law,
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true.
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: I am one who testifies for myself. The other witnesses
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: the father who sent me. Then they asked him, where
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: is your father. You do not know me or my father.
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Jesus replied, if you knew me, you would know my father. Also,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: he spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts,
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: near the place where the offerings were put. Yet no
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: one seized him because his hour had not yet come.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Once more, Jesus said to them, I am going away,
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: and you will look for me, and you will die
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come. This
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: made the Jews ask will he kill himself? Is that
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: why he says? Where I go, you cannot come. But
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: he continued, you are from below. I am from above.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: You are of this world. I am not of this world.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: I told you that you would die in your sins.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: If you do not believe that I am he, you
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: will indeed die in your sins. Who are you? They asked,
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: just what I have been telling you from the beginning,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: Jesus replied, I have much to say in judgment of you.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: But he who sent me is trustworthy, and what I
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: have heard from him, I tell the world. They did
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: not understand what he was telling them about his father.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: So Jesus said, when you have lifted up the son
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: of Man, then you will know that I am he,
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: and that I do nothing on my own but speak
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: just what the Father has taught me. The one who
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: sent me is with me. He has not left me alone,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: for I always do what pleases him. Even as he
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: spoke many believed in him. To the Jews who had
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: believed him, Jesus said, if you hold to my teaching,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: you are really my disciples, then you will know the truth,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: and the truth will set you free. They answered him,
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: we are Abraham's descendants and have never been slaves of anyone.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: How can you.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: Say that we shall be set free? Jesus replied, very truly,
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now,
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: a slave has no permanent place in the family, but
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: sets you free, you will be free. Indeed, I know
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: that you are Abraham's descendants, yet you are looking for
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: a way to kill me, because you have no room
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: for my word. I am telling you what I have
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: seen in the Father's presence, and you are doing what
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: you have heard from your father. Abraham is our father,
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: they answered. If you were Abraham's children, said Jesus, then
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: you would do what Abraham did. As it is, you
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: are looking for a way to kill me, a man
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: who has told you the truth that I hear from God.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Abraham did not do such things. You are doing the
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: works of your own father. We are not illegitimate children,
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: they protested. The only father we have is God himself.
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: Jesus said to them, if God were your father, you
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: would love me. For I have come here from God.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: I have not come on my own. God sent me.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: Why is my language not clear to you? Because you
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: are unable to hear what I say. You belong to
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: your father, the devil, and you want to carry out
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning,
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: not holding to the truth, for there is no truth
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language,
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet,
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: I am telling the truth. Why don't you believe me?
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: you do not hear is that you do not belong
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: to God. The Jews answered him. Aren't we right in
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: saying that you are a Samaritan and demon possessed? I
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: am not possessed by a demon, Jesus said, But I
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: honor my father, and you dishonor me. I am not
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: seeking glory for myself, but there is one who seeks it,
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: and he is the judge. Very truly, I tell you,
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: whoever obeys my word will never see death. At this,
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: they exclaimed, now we know that you are demon possessed.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: Abraham died and so did the prophets. Yet you say
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: that whoever obeys your word will never taste death. Are
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: you greater than our father Abraham? He died and so
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: did the prophets. Who do you think you are? Jesus replied,
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. My Father,
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: whom you claim as your God, is the one who
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: glorifies me. Though you do not know him, I know him.
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: If I said I did not, I would be a
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: liar like you. But I do know him and obey
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: his word. Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: seeing my day. He saw it and was glad. You
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: are not yet fifty years old, they said to him.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: And you have seen Abraham very truly, I tell you,
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: Jesus answered, before Abraham was born, I am at this.
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: They picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: slipping away from the temple grounds John chapter nine. As
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: he went along, he saw a man blind from birth.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: His disciples asked him, Rabbi, who send this man or
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: his parents? That he was born blind? Neither this man
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: nor his parents, as sind, said Jesus. But this happened
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: so that the works of God might be displayed in him.
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: As long as it is day, we must do the
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: works of him who sent me. Night is coming when
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: no one can work. While I am in the world,
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: I am the light of the world. After saying this,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva,
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: and put it on the man's eyes.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: Go.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: He told him wash in the pool of Ceylon. This
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: word means ascent. So the man went and washed, and
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: came home, seeing his neighbors and those who had formerly
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: seen him begging, asked, isn't this the same man who
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: used to sit and beg? Some claimed that he was
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: others said no, he only looks like him. But he
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: himself insisted, I am the man. How then were your
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: eyes opened? They asked, He replied, the man they called
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: He told me to go to Saloam and wash. So
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: I went and washed, and then I could see. Where
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: is this man? They asked, I don't know, he said.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. Now,
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: the day on which Jesus has made the mud and
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: opened the man's eyes was a sabbath. Therefore the Pharisees
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: also asked him how he had received his sight. He
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: put mud on my eyes, the man replied, and I washed,
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: and now I see. Some of the pharises said, this
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: man is not from God, for he does not keep
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: the Sabbath. But others asked, how can a sinner perform
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: such sides? So they were divided. Then they turned again
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: to the blind man. What have you to say about him?
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: It was your eyes he opened. The man replied, he
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: is a prophet. They still did not believe that he
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: had been blind and had received his sight until they
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: sent for the man's parents. Is this your son, they asked,
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: Is this the one you say was born blind? How
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: is it that now he can see? We know he
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: is our son, the parents answered, and we know he
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: was born blind. But how he can see now or
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: who opened his eyes? We don't know. Ask him he
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: is of age, he will speak for himself. His parents
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: said this because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders,
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: who all already had decided that anyone who acknowledged that
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Jesus was the Messiah would be put out of the synagogue.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: That was why his parents said, he is of age.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: Ask him a second time. They summoned the man who
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: had been blind, give glory to God by telling the truth.
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: They said, we know this man is a sinner. He replied,
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: whether he is a sinner or not, I don't know
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: one thing.
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: I do know.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: I was blind, but now I see. Then they asked him,
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: what did he do to you? How did he open
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: your eyes? He answered, I have told you already and
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: you did not listen. Why do you want to hear
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: it again? Do you want to become his disciples too?
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: Then they hurled insults at him and said, you are
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: this fellow's disciple. We are disciples of Moses. We know
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: that God spoke to Moses. But as for this fellow,
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: we don't even know where he comes from. The man answered,
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: now that is remarkable. You don't know where he comes from.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: Yet he opened my eyes. We know that God does
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly person
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: who does his will. Nobody has ever heard of opening
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: the eyes of a man born blind. If this man
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: were not from God, he could do nothing.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: To this.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: They replied, you were steeped in sin at birth. How
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: dare you lecture us? And they threw him out. Jesus
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: heard that they had thrown him out, and when he
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: found him, he said, do you believe in the son
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: of Man?
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: Who is he? Sir?
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: The man asked, tell me so that I may believe
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: in him. Jesus said, you have now seen him. In fact,
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: he is the one speaking with you. Then the man said, Lord,
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: I believe, and he worshiped him. Jesus said, for judgment,
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: I have come into this world so that the blind
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: will see, and those who see will become blind. Some
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: pharisees who were with him heard him say this, and asked,
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: what are we blind to. Jesus said, if you were blind,
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: you would not be guilty of sin. But now that
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: you claim you can see, your guilt remains. John chapter ten.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: Very truly, I tell you, Pharisees, anyone who does not
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: by some other way is a thief and a robber.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him,
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: and the sheep listened to his voice. He calls his
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: own sheep by name and leads them out. When he
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: of them, and his sheep follow him because they know
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: his voice. But they will never follow a stranger. In fact,
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: they will run away from him because they do not
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: recognize a stranger's voice. Jesus used this figure of speech,
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: but the Pharisees do not understand what he was telling them. Therefore,
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: Jesus said again, very truly, I tell you I am
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: the gate for the sheep. All who have come before
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: me are thieves and robbers, But the sheep have not
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: listened to them. I am the gate. Whoever enters through
• 57:36
  Speaker 1: me will be saved. They will come in and go
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: and kill and destroy. I have come that they may
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: have life, and have it to the full. I am
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: and does not own the sheep. So when he sees
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away.
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. The
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: man runs away because he is a hired hand and
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: I know my sheep, and my sheep know me, just
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: as the Father knows me, and I know the Father.
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: And I lay down my life for the sheep. I
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen.
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: I must bring them also. They too will listen to
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: The reason my father loves me is that I lay
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: down my life, only to take it up again. No
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: one takes it from me, but I lay it down
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: of my own accord. I have authority to lay it
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: down and authority to take it up again. This command
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: I received from my father. The Jews who heard these
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: words were again divided. Many of them said, he is
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: demon possessed in raving mad why listen to him? But
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: others said, these are not the sayings of a man
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: of the blind? Then came the festival of Dedication at Jerusalem.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: It was winter, and Jesus was in the temple courts,
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: walking in Solomon's colonnade. The Jews who were there gathered
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: around him, saying, how long would you keep us in suspense?
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: If you are the Messiah? Tell us plainly, Jesus answered,
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: I did tell you, but you do not believe the
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: works I do in my father's name. Testify about me,
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: but you do not believe because you are not my sheep.
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: My sheep listened to my voice. I know them, and
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: shall never perish. No one will snatch them out of
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: my hand. My father, who has given them to me,
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: is great than all. No one can snatch them out
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: of my father's hand. I and the Father are one.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: His Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him. But
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: Jesus said to them, I have shown you many good
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: works from the Father. For which of these do you
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: stone me. We are not stoning you for any good work.
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: They replied, but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: claimed to be God. Jesus answered them, is it not
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: written in your law I have said you are gods?
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: If he called them gods to whom the word of
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: God came and scripture cannot be set aside? What about
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: the one whom the Father set apart as his very
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: own and sent into the world. Why then, do you
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: accuse me of blasphemy because I said I am God's son.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: Do not believe me unless I do the works of
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: my Father. But if I do them, even though you
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: do not believe me, believe the works that you may
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: know and understand that the Father is in me and
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: I in the Father. Again, they tried to seize him,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: but he escaped their grasp. Then Jesus went back across
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: in the early days. There he stayed and many people
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: came to him. They said, though John never performed a sign,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: all that John said about this man was true, and
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: in that place many believed in Jesus John chapter eleven.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: Now a man named Lazarus was sick. He was from Bethany,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: the village of Mary and her sister Martha. This Mary,
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: whose brother Lazarus now lay sick, was the same one
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: who poured perfume on the Lord and wiped his feet
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: with her hair. So the sisters sent word to Jesus, Lord,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: the one you love is sick. When he heard this,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, this sickness will not end in death. No,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: it is for God's glory, so that God's son may
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: be glorified through it. Now Jesus loved Martha and her
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: sister and Lazarus, so when he heard that Lazarus was sick,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: he stayed where he was two more days, and then
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: he said to his disciples, let us go back to Judea.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: But Rabbi, they said, a short while ago the Jews
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: there tried to stone you, and yet you are going back.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: Jesus answered, are there not twelve hours of daylight? Anyone
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: who walks in the daytime will not stumble, for they
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: see by this world's light. It is when a person
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: walks at night that they stumble.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: For they have no light. After he said this, he
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: went on to tell.
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: Them, our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: going there to wake him up. His disciples replied, Lord,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: if he sleeps, he will get better. Jesus had been
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: natural sleep. So then he told them plainly, Lazarus is dead,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: and for your sake, I am glad I was not there,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: so that you may believe. But let us go to him.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Then Thomas, also known as Didymus, said to the rest
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: of the disciples, let us also go that we made
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: guy with him. On his arrival, Jesus found that Lazarus
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: had already been in the tomb for four days.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem, and many
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: in the loss of their brother. When Martha heard that
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: Mary stayed at home.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: Lord.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: Martha said to Jesus, if you had been here, my
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: brother would not have died. But I know that even
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: now God will give you whatever you ask. Jesus said
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: to her, your brother will rise again. Martha answered, I
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: know he will rise again in the resurrection. At the
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: last day. Jesus said to her, I am the Resurrection
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: and the life. The one who believes in me will
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: live even though they die, and whoever lives by believing
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: in me will never die. Do you believe this, yes, Lord,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: she replied, I believe that you are the Messiah, the
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: Son of God, who is to come into the world.
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: After she said this, she went back and called her
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: sister Mary aside. The teacher is here, she said, and
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: is asking for you. When Mary heard this, she got
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: up quickly and went to him. Now Jesus had not
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: yet entered the village, but was still at the place
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: where Martha had met him. When the Jews, who had
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: been with Mary in the house comforting her, noticed how
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: quickly she got up and went out, they followed her,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: she fell at his feet and said, Lord, if you
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: had been here, my brother would not have died. When
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: along with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: spirit and troubled. Where have you laid him? He asked,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: Come and see, Lord, they replied. Jesus wept. Then the
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: Jews said, see how he loved him. But some of
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: them said, could not he who opened the eyes of
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: the blind man have kept this man from dying. Jesus
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: once more deeply moved came to the tomb. It was
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: a cave with a stone laid across the entrance. Take
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: away the stone, he said, But Lord, said Martha, the
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: sister of the dead man. By this time there is
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: a bad odor, for he has been there four days.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: Then Jesus said, did I not tell you that if
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: you believe, you will see the glory of God. So
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, Father,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: I thank you that you have heard me. I knew
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: that you always hear me, But I said this for
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: the benefit of the people standing here, that they may
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: believe that you sent me. When he had said this,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: Jesus called in a loud voice, Lazarus come out. The
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: said to them, take off the grave clothes and let
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: him go. Therefore, many of the Jews, who had come
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: to visit Mary and had seen what Jesus did, believed
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: in him. But some of them went to the Pharisees
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: and told them what Jesus had done. Then the chief
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedron.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: What are we accomplishing, they asked, Here is this man
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: performing many signs. If we let him go on like this,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: every one will believe in him, and then the Romans
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: will come and take away both our temple and our nation.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: Then one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 1: that year, spoke up, you know nothing at all. You
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: do not realize that it is better for you that
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: one man die for the people than that the whole
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: nation perish. He did not say this on his own,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 1: but as high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: would die for the Jewish nation, and not only for
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: that nation, but also for the scattered children of God,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: to bring them together and make them one. So from
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: that day on they plotted to take his life. Therefore,
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: Jesus no longer moved about publicly among the people of Judea. Instead,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: he withdrew to a region near the wilderness, to a
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: village called Ephraim, where he stayed.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: With his disciples.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, many
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: went up from the country to Jerusalem for their ceremonial
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: cleansing before the passover, they kept looking for Jesus, and
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: as they stood in the temple courts, they asked one another,
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: what do you think is he coming to the festival
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: at all? But the chief priests and the Pharisees had
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: given orders that any one who found out where Jesus
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: was should report it so that they might arrest him.
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: John chapter twelve. Six days before the passover, Jesus came
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: to Bethany where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: the dead. Here a dinner was given in jesus honor.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: Martha served while Lazarus was among those reclining at the
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: table with him. Then Mary took about a pint of
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: pure gnard and expensive perfume. She poured it on jesus
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: feet and wiped his feet with her hair, and the
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: one of his disciples Judases carried, who was later to
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: betray him, objected, why wasn't this perfume sold in the
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: money given to the poor. It was worth a year's wages.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: He did not say this because he cared about the poor,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: but because he was a thief. As keeper of the
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: money bag, he used to help himself to what was
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: put into it. Leave her alone, Jesus replied, it was
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: intended that she should save this perfume for the day
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: of my burial. You will always have the poor among you,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: but you will not always have me. Meanwhile, a large
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there and
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 1: came not only because of him, but also to see Lazarus,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: whom he had raised from the dead. So the chief
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well, for on
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: account of him. Many of the Jews were going over
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: to Jesus and believing in him. The next day, the
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: great crowd that had come for the festival heard that
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem. They took palm
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: branches and went out to meet him, shouting, Hosanna, blessed
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: Blessed is the king of Israel. Jesus found a young
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: donkey and sat on it. As it is written, do
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: not be afraid, daughter Zion, see your king is coming
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: seated on a donkey's colt. At first, his disciples did
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: not understand all this. Only after Jesus was glorified did
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: they realize that these things had been written about him
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: and that these things had been done to him. Now,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: to spread the word. Many people, because they had heard
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: that he had performed this sign, went out to meet him.
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: So the Pharisees said to one another, see this is
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: getting us nowhere. Look how the whole world has gone
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: after him. Now there were some Greeks among those who
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: went up to worship at the festival. They came to Philip,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: who was from bethsaida in Galilee with a request, Sir.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: They said, we would like to see Jesus. Philip went
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: to tell Andrew. Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus.
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: Jesus replied, has come for the son of Man to
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: be glorified. Very truly, I tell you, Unless a kernel
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 1: of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: only a single seed, but if it dies, it produces
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: while anyone who hates their life in this world will
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me,
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: and where I am, my servant also will be. My
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: Father will honor the one who serves me. Now my
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: soul is troubled, and what shall I say, Father, save
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: me from this hour. No, it was for this very
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name.
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: Then a voice came from heaven. I have glorified it,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: and it will glorify it again. The crowd was there
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: and heard it, said it had thundered. Others said an
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: angel had spoken to him. Jesus said, this voice was
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: for your benefit, not mine. Now is the time for
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: judgment on this world. Now the prince of this world
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: will be driven out, and I, when I am lifted
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: He said this to show the kind of death he
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: was going to die. The crowd spoke up. We have
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: heard from the law that the Messiah will remain forever.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: So how can you say, the son of man must
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: be lifted up? Who is this son of man? Then
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: Jesus told them, you are going to have the light
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: before darkness overtakes you. Whoever walks in the dark does
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: not know where they are going. Believe in the light
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: while you have the light, so that you may become
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: children of light. When he had finished speaking, Jesus left
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: and hid himself from them. Even after Jesus had performed
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: so many signs of their presence, they would still not
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: believe in him. This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah,
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 1: the prophet Lord, who has believed our message, and to
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 1: whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed. For
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 1: this reason they could not believe, because, as Isaiah says elsewhere,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: he has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand with
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: their hearts, nor turn, and I would heal them. Isaiah
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: said this because he saw Jesus glory and spoke about him.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: Yet at the same time, many, even among the leaders,
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: believed in him. But because of the Pharisees, they would
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: not openly acknowledge their faith, for fear they would be
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: put out of the synagogue, for they loved human praise
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: more than praise from God. Then Jesus cried out, whoever
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 1: believes in me does not believe in me only, but
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: in the one who sent me. The one who looks
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: at me is seeing the one who sent me. I
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: have come into the world as a light, so that
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: If anyone hears my words but does not keep them,
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: I do not judge the person, for I did not
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: come to judge the world, but to save the world.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: There is a judge for the one who rejects me
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: and does not accept my words. The very words I
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: have spoken will condemn them at the last day. For
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: I did not speak on my own, but the Father
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: who sent me commanded me to say all that.
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: I have spoken.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: I know that his command leads to eternal life. So
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: whatever I say is just what the Father has told
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: me to say. One chapter thirteen, it was just before
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: the Passover festival. Jesus knew that the hour had come
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: for him to leave this world and go to the Father.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: Having loved his own who were in the world, he
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: loved them to the end. The evening meal was in progress,
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: simonist Carrion, to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that the Father
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: had put all things under his power, and that he
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: had come from God and was returning to God. So
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing,
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 1: and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: poured water into a basin and began to wash his
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: disciples feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, Lord,
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: are you going to wash my feet? Jesus replied, you
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 1: do not realize now what I am doing, but later
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: you will understand. No, said Peter, you shall never wash
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 1: my feet. Jesus answer, Unless I wash you, you have
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: no part with me. Then, Lord Simon Peter replied, not
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: just my feet, but my hands and my head as well.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: Jesus answered, those who have had a bath need only
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 1: to wash their feet. Their whole body is clean, and
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: you are clean, though not every one of you. For
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: he knew who was going to betray him, and that
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: was why he said, not everyone was clean. When he
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: and returned to his place. Do you understand what I
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: have done for you? He asked them. You call me
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: teacher and lord, and rightly so, for that is.
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: What I am. Now that I, your.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: Lord and teacher, have washed your feet, you also should
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: wash one another's feet. I have set you an example
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: that you should do as I have done for you.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: Very truly, I tell you, no servant is greater than
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: who sent him. Now that you know these things, you
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: would be blessed if you do them. I am not
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: referring to all of you. I know those I have chosen.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: But this is to fulfill this passage of scripture. He
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: who shared my bread has turned against me. I am
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: telling you now before it happens, so that when it
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: does happen, you will believe that I.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: Am who I am.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: Very truly, I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I sinned
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: accepts me, and whoever accepts me accepts the one who
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: sent me. After he had said this, Jesus was troubled
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: in spirit and testified very truly, I tell you, one
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: of you is going to betray me. His disciple stared
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: at one another, at a loss to know which of
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: them he meant. One of them, the disciple whom Jesus
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: loved was reclining next to him. Simon Peter motioned to
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: this disciple and said, ask him which one he means.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, Lord, who is it?
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: Jesus answered, it is the one to whom I will
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 1: give this piece of bread when I have dipped it
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: in the dish. Then, dipping the piece of bread, he
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: gave it to Judas, the son of Simon, is carried.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 1: So Jesus told him, what you are about to do,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: do quickly. But no one at the meal understood why
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: Jesus said this to him. Since Judas had charge of
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: the money, some thought Jesus was telling him to buy
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: what was need for the festival, or to give something
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: to the poor. As soon as Judas had taken the bread,
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: he went out, and it was night. When he was gone,
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: Jesus said, now the son of Man is glorified, and
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: God is glorified.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: In him.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: If God is glorified in him, God will glorify the
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: Sun and himself, and will glorify him at once. My children,
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: I will be with you only a little longer. You
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: will look for me. And just as I told the Jews,
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: so I tell you now where I am going. You
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: cannot come. A new command. I give you love one
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 1: another as I have loved you, So you must love
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: one another. By this, everyone will know that you are
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: my disciples. If you love one another. Simon Peter asked him, Lord,
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: where are you going? Jesus replied, where I am going.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: You cannot follow now, but you will follow later. Peter asked, Lord,
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: why can't I follow you?
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: I will lay down my life for you. Then, Jesus answered,
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: will you really lay down your life for me?
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: Very truly?
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: I tell you, before the rooster crows, you will disown
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: me three times John chapter fourteen. Do not let your
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: My father's house has many rooms. If that were not so,
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: what I have told you that I am going there
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: to prepare a place for you. And if I go
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: and prepare a place for you, I will come back
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: and take you to be with me, that you also
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: may be where I am. You know the way to
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: the place where I am going. Thomas said to him, Lord,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: we don't know where you are going, so how can
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: we know the way. Jesus answered, I am the Way
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: and the truth and the life. No one comes to
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: the Father except through me. If you really know me,
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: you will know my father as well. From now on,
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 1: you do know him and have seen him. Philip said, Lord,
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: Jesus answered, don't you know me, Philip, even after I
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: have been among you such a long time. Any one
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: who has seen me has seen the Father. How can
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: you say, show us the Father? Don't you believe that
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: I am in the Father and that the Father is
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: in me? The words I say to you, I do
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the
• 1:22:50
  Speaker 1: Father living in me who is doing his work. Believe
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: me when I say that I am in the Father
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 1: and the Father is in me, or at least on
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: the evidence of the works themselves. Very truly, I tell you,
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: whoever believes in me will do the works I have
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: been doing, and they will do even greater things than
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: these because I am going to the Father, and I
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: will do whatever you ask in my name, so that
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: ask me for anything in my name, and I will
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: do it. If you love me, keep my commands, and
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: I will ask the Father, and he will give you
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: another advocate to help you and be with you forever,
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: the spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him because
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: it neither sees him nor knows him, but you know him,
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: for he lives with you and will be in you.
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 1: I will not leave you as orphans. I will come
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: to you. Before long. The world will not see me anymore,
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: but you will see me. Because I live, you also
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 1: will live. On that day, you will realize that I
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: am in my Father, and you are in me, and
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: I am in you. Whoever has my commands and keeps
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: them is the one who loves me. The one who
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: loves me will be loved by my Father, and I
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 1: too will love them and show myself to them. Then,
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: Judas not judas Is Scariot said, but Lord, why do
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: you intend to show yourself to us and not to
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: the world. Jesus replied, anyone who loves me will obey
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: my teaching.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: My Father will love.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: Them, and we will come to them and make our
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: home with them. Anyone who does not love me will
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: not obey my teaching. These words you hear are.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: Not my own.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: They belong to the Father who sent me. All this
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: I have spoken while still with you. But the advocate,
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: will teach you all things and will remind you of
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: everything I have I said to you. Peace I leave
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: with you. My peace I give you. I do not
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: give to you as the world gives. Do not let
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: your hearts be troubled. And do not be afraid. You
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 1: heard me say, I am going away and I am
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 1: coming back to you. If you loved me, you would
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: be glad that I am going to the Father. For
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: the Father is greater than I. I have told you
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 1: now before it happens, so that when it does happen,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: you will believe. I will not say much more to you,
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: for the Prince of this world is coming. He has
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 1: no hold over me, but he comes so that the
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: world may learn that I love the Father and do
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: exactly what my Father has commanded me. Come now, let
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 1: us leave, John chapter fifteen. I am the true vine,
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: and my father is the gardener. He cuts off every
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: as I also remain in you. No branch can bear
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 1: fruit by itself. It must remain in the vine. Neither
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 1: am the vine. You are the branches. If you remain
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: Apart from me, you can do nothing. If you do
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: not remain in me. You are like a branch that
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 1: is thrown away and withers. Such branches are picked up,
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: thrown into the fire, and burned. If you remain in
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish,
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 1: and it will be done for you. This is to
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 1: my father's glory that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me,
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: so have I loved you. Now remain in my love.
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 1: If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: just as I have kept my father's commands and remain
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: in his love. I have told you this so that
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: my joy may be in you, and that your joy
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 1: may be complete. My command is this, love each other
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: as I have loved you. Greater love has no one
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: You are my friends. If you do what I command.
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: I no longer call you servants, because a servant does
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: For everything that I learned from my father, I have
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: made known to you. You did not choose me, but I
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: choose you and appointed you so that you might go
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 1: and bear fruit, fruit that will last, and so that
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: whatever you ask in my name, the Father will give you.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: This is my command. Love each other. If the world
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: If you belonged to the world, it would love you
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: as its own.
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: As it is.
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: You do not belong to the world. But I have
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 1: chosen you out of the world. That is why the
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 1: world hates you. Remember what I told you, A servant
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 1: is not greater than his master. If they persecuted me,
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching,
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 1: they will obey yours.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 2: Also.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: They will treat you this way because of my name,
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 1: for they do not know the one who sent me.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 1: If I had not and spoken to them, they would
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: not be guilty of sin. But now they have no
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me hates my father
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: as well. If I had not done among them the
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: works no one else did, they would not be guilty
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: of sin. As it is they have seen. And yet
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: they have hated both me and my father. But this
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: is to fulfill what is written in their law. They
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 1: hated me without reason. When the advocate comes, whom I
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: will sin to you from the Father, the spirit of truth,
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 1: who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: And you also must testify, for you have been with
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: me from the beginning. John chapter sixteen. All this I
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 1: have told you so that you will not fall away.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: They will put you out of the synagogue. In fact,
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 1: the time has come when anyone who kills you will
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 1: think they are offering a service to God. They will
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: do such things because they have not known the Father
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 1: or me. I have told you this so that when
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: their time comes, you will remember that I warned you
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: about them. I did not tell you this from the
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: beginning because I was with you. But now I am
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: going to him who sent me. None of you asks
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: me where are you going. Rather, you are filled with
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: grief because I have said these things. But very truly
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 1: I tell you it is for your good that I
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 1: am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: not come to you. But if I go, I will
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: send him to you. When he comes, he will prove
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: the world to be in the wrong about sin and
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: righteousness and judgment. About sin because people do not believe
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: in me. About righteousness because I am going to the Father,
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: where you can see me no longer. And about judgment,
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: because the prince of this world now stands condemned. I
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: have much more to say to you, more than you
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of Truth, comes,
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 1: he will guide you into all the truth. He will
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: not speak on his own. He will speak only what
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 1: he hears, and he will tell you what is yet
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 1: to come. He will glorify me because it is from
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: me that he will receive what he will make known
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: That is why I said, the Spirit will receive from
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 1: me what he will make known to you. Jesus went
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: on to say, in a little while, you will see
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 1: me no more, and then after a little while you
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 1: will see me. At this, some of his disciples said
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: to one another, what does he mean by saying, in
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 1: a little while you will see me no more, and
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 1: then after a little while you will see me. And
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 1: because I am going to the father, they kept asking,
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: what does he mean by a little while?
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: We don't understand what he is saying.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this,
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: so he said to them, are you asking one another
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: what I meant when I said, in a little while,
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: you will see me no more, and then after a
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: little while you will see me.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 2: Very truly, I tell you, you will weep.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: And mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: your grief will turn to joy. A woman giving birth
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 1: to a child has pain because her time has come,
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: but when her baby is born, she forgets the anguish
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: because of her joy that a child is born into
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 1: the world. So with you, now is your time of grief.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 1: But I will see you again, and you will rejoice,
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: and no one will take away your joy. And that
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly,
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: ask in my name. Until now you have not asked
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive,
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: and your joy will be complete. Though I have been
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: speaking figuratively, a time is coming when I will no
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: longer use this kind of language, but will tell you
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 1: plainly about my father, and that day you will ask
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: in my name. I am not saying that I will
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: ask the Father on your behalf. No, the Father himself
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 1: loves you because you have loved me and have believed
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: that I came from God. I came from the Father
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 1: and entered the world. Now I am leaving the world
• 1:33:54
  Speaker 1: and going back to the Father. Then Jesus disciples said,
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: Now we can see that you know all things, and
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: that you do not even need to have anyone ask
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: you questions. This makes us believe that you came from God.
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: Do you now believe? Jesus replied, A time is coming,
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 1: and in fact has come, when you will be scattered
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: each to your own home. You will leave me all alone.
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 1: I have told you these things so that in me
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: you may have peace in this world. You will have trouble,
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 1: But take heart, I have overcome the world.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 2: John chapter seventeen.
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 1: After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed, Father,
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 1: the hour has come. Glorify your son, that your son
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 1: may glorify you, for you granted him authority over all people,
• 1:35:02
  Speaker 1: that he might give eternal life to all those you
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: have given him. Now this is eternal life that they
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 1: know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 1: you have sent. I have brought you glory on earth
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 1: by finishing the work you gave me to do. And now, Father,
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 1: glorify me in your presence with the glory I had
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: with you before the world began. I have revealed you
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 1: to those whom you gave me out of the world.
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 1: They were yours. You gave them to me, and they
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: have obeyed your word. Now they know that everything you
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 1: have given me comes from you. For I gave them
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: the words you gave me, and they accepted them. They
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: knew with certainty that I came from you, and they
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 1: believed that you sent me. I pray for them. I
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 1: am not praying for the world, but for those you
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: have given me. For they are yours. All I have
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: is yours, and all you have is mine, and glory
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: has come to me through them. I will remain in
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: the world no longer. But they are still in the world,
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 1: and I am coming to you, Holy Father. Protect them
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 1: by the power of your name, the name you gave me,
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: so that they may be one as we are one.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 1: While I was with them, I protected them and kept
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: them safe by that name you gave me. None has
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: been lost, except the one doomed to destruction, so that
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: scripture would be fulfilled. I am coming to you now,
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 1: but I say these things while I am still in
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 1: the world, so that they may have the full measure
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: of my joy within them. I have given them your word,
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: and the world has hated them, for they are not
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 1: of the world any more than I am of the world.
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: My prayer is not that you take them out of
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 1: the world, but that you protect them from the evil one.
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 1: They are not of the world, even as I am
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: not of it. Sanctify them by the truth. Your word
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: is truth. As you sent me into the world, I
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself,
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: and they too may be truly sanctified. My prayer is
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 1: not for them alone. I pray also for those who
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: will believe in me through their message, that all of
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 1: them may be one. Father, just as you are in
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: me and I am in you, may they also be
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: in us, so that the world may believe that you
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 1: have sent me. I have given them the glory that
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 1: you gave me, that they may be one as we
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: are one, I in them and you in me, so
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: world will know that you sent me and have loved
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: them as you have loved me.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 2: Father.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 1: I want those you have given me to be with
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: me where I am, and to see my glory, the
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: glory you have given me because you loved me before
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: the creation of the world. Righteous Father. Though the world
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: does not know you, I know you, and they know
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: that you have sent me. I have made you known
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 1: to them and will continue to make you known, in
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 1: order that the love you have for me may be
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: in them, and that I myself may be in them.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: John chapter eighteen. When he had finished praying, Jesus left
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 1: with his disciples and crossed the Kidrin Valley. On the
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: other side there was a garden, and he and his
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: disciples went into it. Now, Judas, who betrayed him, knew
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: the place because Jesus had often met there with his disciples.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 1: So Judas came to the garden guiding a detachment of
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees.
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons. Jesus, knowing all
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: that was going to happen to him, went out and
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 1: asked them, who is it you want Jesus of Nazareth.
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: They replied, I am he, Jesus said, and Judas, the trader,
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 1: was standing there with them. When Jesus said, I am he,
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: they drew back and fell to the ground.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 1: He asked them, who is it you want, Jesus of Nazareth,
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: they said, Jesus answered, I told you that I am he.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 1: If you are looking for me, then let these men go.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: This happened so that the words he had spoken would
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: be fulfilled. I have not lost one of those you
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: gave me. Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: it and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. Jesus commanded Peter,
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: put your sword away. Shall I not drink the cup
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: the Father has got give me? Then the detachment of
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 1: soldiers with its commander and the Jewish officials arrested Jesus.
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 1: They bound him and brought him first to Annas, who
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 1: was the father in law of Caiaphas, the High priest
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 1: that year. Caiaphas was the one who had advised the
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 1: Jewish leaders that it would be good if one man
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: died for the people. Simon, Peter and another disciple were
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: following Jesus because this disciple was known to the high priest.
• 1:40:29
  Speaker 1: He went with Jesus into the High Priest's courtyard, but
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple,
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 1: who was known to the High priest, came back, spoke
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 1: to the servant girl on duty there, and brought Peter in.
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 1: You aren't one of this man's disciples too, are you,
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 1: she asked Peter. He replied, I am not. It was cold,
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 1: and the servants and officials stood around a fire they
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: had made to keep more. Peter also was standing with them,
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: warming himself. Meanwhile, the High Priest questioned Jesus about his
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: disciples and his teaching. I have spoken openly to the
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: world Jesus replied, I always taught in synagogues or at
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 1: the temple where all the Jews come together. I said
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: nothing in secret. Why question me? Ask those who hurt me,
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: surely they know what I said. When Jesus said this,
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: one of the officials near by slapped him in the face.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: Is this the way you answer the High priest? He demanded,
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 1: if I said something wrong, Jesus replied, testify as to
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: what is wrong. But if I spoke the truth, why
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 1: did you strike me? Then Anus sent him bound to Caiaphas,
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 1: the High priest. Meanwhile, Simon Peter was still standing there,
• 1:41:54
  Speaker 1: warming himself. So they asked him. You aren't one of
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 1: his disciples too, are you. He denied it, saying I
• 1:42:01
  Speaker 1: am not one of the High Priest's servants. A relative
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 1: of the man whose ear Peter had cut off challenged him,
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: didn't I see you with him in the garden. Again,
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: Peter denied it, and at that moment a rooster began
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 1: to crow.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 2: Then the Jewish.
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: Leaders took Jesus from Caiaphas to the palace of the
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: Roman governor. By now it was early morning, and to
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: avoid ceremonial uncleanness, they did not enter the palace because
• 1:42:30
  Speaker 1: they wanted to be able to eat the passover. So
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 1: Pilot came out to them and asked, what charges are
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 1: you bringing against this man? If he were not a criminal,
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 1: they replied, we would not have handed him over to you.
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 1: Pilot said, take him yourselves and judge him by your
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 1: own law, but we have no right to execute any one.
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 1: They objected. This took place to fulfill what Jesus had
• 1:42:57
  Speaker 1: said about the kind of death he was going to die.
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: Pilot then went back inside the palace, summoned Jesus and
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 1: asked him, are you the king of the Jews? Is
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 1: that your own idea? Jesus asked, or did others talk
• 1:43:12
  Speaker 1: to you about me? Am I a Jew? Pilot replied,
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: your own people and chief priests handed you over to me.
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 1: What is it you have done, Jesus said, My kingdom
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 1: is not of this world. If it were, my servants
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 1: would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders.
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: But now my kingdom is from another place. You are
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: a king, then, said Pilot. Jesus answered, you say that
• 1:43:40
  Speaker 1: I am a king. In fact, the reason I was
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 1: born and came into the world is to testify to
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 1: the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 1: What is truth? Retorted Pilot. With this, he went out
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 1: again to the Jews gathered there and said, I find
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: no basis for a charge against him, But it is
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: your custom for me to release to you one prisoner
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 1: at the time of the passover. Do you want me
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 1: to release the King of the Jews? They shouted back, No,
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 1: not him, Give us Barrabas. Now Barabas had taken part
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 1: in an uprising John chapter nineteen. Then Pilot took Jesus
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 1: and had him flogged. The soldiers twisted together a crown
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: him in a purple robe and went up to him
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: again and again, saying hail, King of the Jews, And
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 1: they slapped him in the face once more. Pilot came
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 1: out and said to the Jews gathered there, look, I
• 1:44:50
  Speaker 1: am bringing him out to you to let you know
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 1: that I find no basis for a charge against him.
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: When Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns in
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: the purple robe, it said to them, here is the man.
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him,
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 1: they shouted, crucify, crucify, But Pilot answered, you take him
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: and crucify him. As for me, I find no basis
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 1: for a charge against him. The Jewish leaders insisted we
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: have a law, and according to that law, he must
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 1: die because he claimed to be the son of God.
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: When Pilot heard this, he was even more afraid, and
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: he went back inside the palace. Where do you come from,
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer.
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 2: Do you refuse to speak to me?
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 1: Pilot said, don't you realize I have power either to
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 1: free you or to crucify you. Jesus answered, you would
• 1:45:54
  Speaker 1: have no power over me if it were not given
• 1:45:57
  Speaker 1: to you from above. Therefore, the one who handed me
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: over to you is guilty of a greater sin. From
• 1:46:05
  Speaker 1: then on, Pilot tried to set Jesus free, but the
• 1:46:09
  Speaker 1: Jewish leaders kept shouting, if you let this man go,
• 1:46:13
  Speaker 1: you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to
• 1:46:17
  Speaker 1: be a king opposes Caesar. When Pilot heard this, he
• 1:46:22
  Speaker 1: brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge's seat.
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 1: At a place known as the stone pavement, which in
• 1:46:28
  Speaker 1: Aramaic is Gabbatha, it was.
• 1:46:31
  Speaker 2: The day of preparation of the passover. It was about noon.
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: Here is your king, Pilot said to the Jews. But
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: they shouted, take him away, take him away, crucify him.
• 1:46:46
  Speaker 1: Shall I crucify your king? Pilot asked, we have no
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: king but Caesar. The chief priests answered. Finally, Pilot handed
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: him over to them to be crucified.
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 2: So the soldiers took charge of Jesus.
• 1:47:03
  Speaker 1: Carrying his own cross, he went out to the place
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: of the Skull, which in Aramaic is called Golgatha. There
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: they crucified him, and with him to others, one on
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: each side and Jesus in the middle. Pilot had a
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read Jesus
• 1:47:23
  Speaker 1: of Nazareth, the King of the Jews. Many of the
• 1:47:27
  Speaker 1: Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 1: crucified was near the city, and the sign was written
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 1: in Aramaic, Latin, and Greek. The chief priests of the
• 1:47:38
  Speaker 1: Jews protested to Pilot, do not write the King of
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 1: the Jews, but that this man claimed to be king
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 1: of the Jews. Pilot answered, what I have written, I
• 1:47:50
  Speaker 1: have written. When the soldiers crucified Jesus. They took his clothes,
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 1: dividing them into four shares, one for each of them,
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 1: with the undergarment remaining. The garment was seamless, woven in
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 1: one piece from top to bottom. Let's not tear it.
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: They said to one another, let's decide by lot who
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: will get it. This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled.
• 1:48:17
  Speaker 1: That said, they divided my clothes among them, and cast
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: lots for my garment.
• 1:48:23
  Speaker 2: So this is what the soldiers did.
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother's sister, Marry,
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: the wife of Clopus, and Mary Magdalen. When Jesus saw
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: his mother there and the Disciple, whom he loved, standing nearby,
• 1:48:40
  Speaker 1: he said to her, woman, here is your son, and
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: to the disciple, here is your mother. From that time on,
• 1:48:49
  Speaker 1: the Disciple took her into his home. Later, knowing that
• 1:48:54
  Speaker 1: everything had now been finished and so that scripture would
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: be fulfilled, Jesus said, I am thirsty. A jar of
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 1: wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it,
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 1: put the sponge on a stalk on the hysa plant,
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 1: and lifted it to Jesus's lips. When he had received
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 1: the drink, Jesus said, it is finished. With that, he
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 1: bowed his head and gave up his spirit. Now it
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 1: was the day of preparation, and the next day was
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 1: to be a special sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 1: not want the bodies left on the crosses during the sabbath,
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 1: bodies taken down. The soldiers therefore came and broke the
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 1: legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus,
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: and then those of the other. But when they came
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 1: to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 1: did not break his legs. Instead, one of the soldiers
• 1:49:55
  Speaker 1: pierced Jesus's side with the spear, bringing a sudden flow
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 1: of blood, ud and water. The man who saw it
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 1: has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: you also may believe. These things happen so that the
• 1:50:14
  Speaker 1: scripture would be fulfilled. Not one of his bones will
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: be broken, And as another scripture says, they will look
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 1: on the when they have pierced. Later, Joseph of Arimathea
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 1: asked Pilot for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was
• 1:50:32
  Speaker 1: a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 1: Jewish leaders. With Pilot's permission, he came and took the
• 1:50:40
  Speaker 1: body away. He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 1: of myrh and aloes about seventy five pounds. Taking Jesus's body,
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 1: the two of them wrapped it with the spices in
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: At the place where Jesus was crucified there was a garden,
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 1: and in the garden a new tomb in which no
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: one had ever been laid. Because it was the Jewish
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: day of preparation, and since the tomb was nearby, they
• 1:51:17
  Speaker 1: laid Jesus there. John chapter twenty. Early on the first
• 1:51:25
  Speaker 1: day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 1: Magdalen went to the tomb and saw that the stone
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: had been removed from the entrance. So she came running
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 1: to Simon, Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved,
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 1: and said, they have taken the Lord out of the tomb,
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 1: and we don't know where they have put him. So
• 1:51:48
  Speaker 1: Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. Both
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: were running, but the other disciple out ran Peter and
• 1:51:56
  Speaker 1: reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 1: at the strips of linen lying there, but did not
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 1: go in. Then Simon Peter came along behind him and
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 1: went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 1: linen lying there, as well as the cloth that had
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 1: been wrapped around jesus head. The cloth was still lying
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 1: in its place, separate from linen. Finally, the other disciple,
• 1:52:22
  Speaker 1: who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 1: saw and believed they still did not understand from scripture
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: that Jesus had risen from the dead. Then the disciples
• 1:52:35
  Speaker 1: went back to where they were staying. Now, Mary stood
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: outside the tomb, crying.
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 2: As she wept.
• 1:52:43
  Speaker 1: She bent over to look into the tomb and saw
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: two angels in white seated where Jesus's body had been,
• 1:52:51
  Speaker 1: one at the head and the other at the foot.
• 1:52:54
  Speaker 1: They asked her, woman, why are you crying? They have
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 1: taken my lord away, she said, and I don't know
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 1: where they have put him. At this she turned around
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 1: and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize
• 1:53:10
  Speaker 1: that it was Jesus. He asked her, woman, why are
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 1: you crying? Who is it you are looking for? Thinking
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: he was the gardener, she said, Sir, if you have
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: carried him away, tell me where you have put him,
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: and I will get him. Jesus said to her Mary.
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic raboni,
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: which means teacher. Jesus said, do not hold on to me,
• 1:53:44
  Speaker 1: for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go
• 1:53:47
  Speaker 1: instead to my brothers and tell them I am ascending
• 1:53:50
  Speaker 1: to my father and your father, to my God and
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: your God. Mary Magdalen went to the disciples with the
• 1:53:59
  Speaker 1: news I have seen the Lord, and she told them
• 1:54:03
  Speaker 1: that he had said these things to her. On the
• 1:54:07
  Speaker 1: evening of that first day of the week, when the
• 1:54:10
  Speaker 1: disciples were together with the doors locked for fear of
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 1: the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said,
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 1: peace be with you. After he said this, he showed
• 1:54:23
  Speaker 1: them his hands and sighed. The disciples were overjoyed when
• 1:54:27
  Speaker 1: they saw the Lord again. Jesus said, peace be with
• 1:54:31
  Speaker 1: you as the Father has sent me, I am sending you.
• 1:54:36
  Speaker 1: And with that he breathed on them and said, receive
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit. If you forgive anyone's sins, their sins
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 1: are forgiven. If you do not forgive them, they are
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 1: not forgiven. Now Thomas, also known as Didemus, one of
• 1:54:56
  Speaker 1: the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 1: So the other disciples told him, we have seen the Lord.
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: But he said to them unless I see the nail
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 1: marks in his hands and put my finger where the
• 1:55:11
  Speaker 1: nails were and put my hand into his side, I
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 1: will not believe. A week later, his disciples were in
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 1: the house again, and Thomas was with them, though the
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 1: doors were locked. Jesus came and stood among them and said,
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 1: peace be with you. Then he said to Thomas, put
• 1:55:31
  Speaker 1: your finger here see my hands. Reach out your hand
• 1:55:35
  Speaker 1: and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: Thomas said to him, my Lord and my God. Then
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 1: Jesus told him, because you have seen me, you have believed.
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 1: Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples,
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: which are not recorded in this book. But these are
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah,
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 1: the Son of God, and that by believing you may
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: have life in his name, John chapter twenty one. Afterwards,
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: Jesus appeared again to his disciples by the Sea of Galilee.
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: It happened this way Simon Peter Thomas, also known as
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 1: Didymus Nathaniel from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 1: and two other disciples were together. I'm going out to fish,
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 1: Simon Peter told them, and they said, we'll go with you.
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: So they went out and got into the boat. But
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 1: that night they caught nothing. Early in the morning, Jesus
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 1: stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 1: that it was Jesus. He called out to them, friends,
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 1: haven't you any fish? No, they answered, He said, throw
• 1:57:05
  Speaker 1: your net on the right side of the boat and
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 1: you will find some. When they did, they were unable
• 1:57:10
  Speaker 1: to haul the net in because of the large number
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 1: of fish. Then the disciple whom Jesus loved, said to Peter,
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 1: it is the Lord. As soon as Simon Peter heard
• 1:57:22
  Speaker 1: him say it is the Lord, he wrapped his outer
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: garment around him for he had taken it off and
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 1: jumped into the water. The other disciples followed in the boat,
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 1: towing the net full of fish, for they were not
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 1: far from shore, about one hundred yards. When they landed,
• 1:57:39
  Speaker 1: they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish
• 1:57:42
  Speaker 1: on it and some bread. Jesus said to them, bring
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 1: some of the fish you have just caught. So Simon
• 1:57:50
  Speaker 1: Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore.
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 1: It was full of large fish, one hundred and fifty three.
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 1: But even with so many, the net was not torn.
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 1: Jesus said to them, come and have breakfast. None of
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 1: the disciples dared ask him, who are you? They knew
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 1: it was the Lord. Jesus came, took the bread and
• 1:58:15
  Speaker 1: gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his
• 1:58:21
  Speaker 1: disciples after he was raised from the dead. When they
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: of John, do you love me more than these?
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 1:58:35
  Speaker 1: Lord, he said, you know that I love you. Jesus said,
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 1: feed my lambs again. Jesus said, Simon, son of John,
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 1: do you love me? He answered, yes, Lord, you know
• 1:58:50
  Speaker 1: that I love you, Jesus said, take care of my sheep.
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 1: The third time, he said to him, Simon, son of
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: John me. Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: third time, do you love me? He said, Lord, you
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 1: know all things. You know that I love you. Jesus said,
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 1: feed my sheep. Very truly, I tell you. When you
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 1: were younger, you dressed yourself and went where you wanted.
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 1: But when you are old, you will stretch out your
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 1: hands and someone else will dress you and lead you
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 1: where you do not want to go. Jesus said this
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 1: to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 1: glorify God. Then he said to him, follow me. Peter
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 1: turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 1: following them. This was the one who had leaned back
• 1:59:46
  Speaker 1: against Jesus at the supper and had said, Lord, who
• 1:59:51
  Speaker 1: is going to betray you. When Peter saw him, he asked, Lord,
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 1: what about him? Jesus answered, if I want him to
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: remain alive until I return, what is that to you?
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 1: You must follow me. Because of this, the rumor spread
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 1: among the believers that the disciple would not die, but
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 1: Jesus did not say that he would not die. He
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: only said, if I want him to remain alive until
• 2:00:21
  Speaker 1: I return. What is that to you? This is the
• 2:00:25
  Speaker 1: disciple who testifies to these things, and who wrote them down.
• 2:00:29
  Speaker 1: We know that his testimony is true. Jesus did many
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 1: other things as well. If every one of them were
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 1: written down, I suppose that even the whole world would
• 2:00:40
  Speaker 1: not have room for the books that would be written.
