  Speaker 2: Luke, chapter one, many have undertaken to draw up an
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: account of the things that have been fulfilled among us,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: just as they were handed down to us by those
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: who from the first were eye witnesses and servants of
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: the Word. With this in mind, since I myself have
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: that you may know the certainty of the things you
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: have been taught. In the time of Harry, King of Judea,
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: there was a priest named Zechariah who belonged to the
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: priestly division of Abaijah. His wife, Elizabeth, was also a
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: descendant of Erin. Both of them were righteous in the
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: sight of God, observing all the Lord's commands and decrees blamelessly.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: and they were both very old. Once, when Zechariah's division
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: was on duty and he was serving as priest before God,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: he was chosen by Lot, according to the custom of
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: and burn incense. And when the time for the burning
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: of incense came, all the assembled worshippers were praying outside.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: at the right side of the altar of incense. When
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: But the angel said to him, do not be afraid, Zechariah,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: your prayer had been heard. Your wife Elizabeth, will bear
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: you a son, and you are to call him John.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: He will be a joy and delight to you, and
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: many will rejoice because of his birth, for he will
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: be great in the sight of the Lord. He is
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: will be filled with the Holy Spirit. Even before he
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: is born. He will bring back many of the people
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: of Israel to the Lord, their God. And he will
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: go on before the Lord in the spirit and power
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. Zechariah
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: asked the angel, how can I be sure of this?
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I am an old man, and my wife is well
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: along in years the angel said to him, I am Gabriel.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I stand in the presence of God, and I have
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: been sent to speak to you and to tell you
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: this good news. And now you will be silent and
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: not able to speak until the day this happens, because
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: you did not believe my words, which will come true
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: at their appointed time. Meanwhile, the people were waiting for
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: When he came out, he could not speak to them.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: They realized he had seen a vision in the temple,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: for he kept making signs to them, but remained unable
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: to speak. When his time of service was completed, he
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: returned home. After this, his wife, Elizabeth, became pregnant and
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: for five months remained in seclusion. The Lord has done
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: this for me, she said, In these days he has
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. The
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: angel went to her and said, greetings, you, who are
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: highly favored. The Lord is with you. Mary was greatly
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: this might be. But the Angel said to her, do
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: not be afraid. Mary, you have found favor with God.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: You will conceive and give birth to a son, and
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: you are to call him Jesus. He will be great
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and will be called the Son of the Most High.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: The Lord God will give him the throne of his
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: father David, and he will reign over Jacob's descendants forever.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: His kingdom will never end. How will this be, Mary
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: asked the angel, since I am a virgin. The angel answered,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: of the Most High will over shadow you. So the
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: holy one to be born will be called the Son
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: of God. Even Elizabeth, your relative, is going to have
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: a child in her old age, and she who is
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: said to be unable to conceive, is in her sixth month.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: For no word from God will ever fail. I am
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: the Lord's servant. Mary answered, May your word to me
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: be fulfilled. Then the Angel left her. At that time,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: hill country of Judea, where she entered Zechariah's home and
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leapt
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: In a loud voice, she exclaimed, blessed are you among women?
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: And blessed is the child you will bear? But why
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: am I so favored that the mother of my Lord
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: should come to me? As soon as the sound of
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: her greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: leaped for joy. Blessed is he who has believed that
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: the Lord would fulfill his promises to her. And Mary said,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: my soul glorifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: state of his servant. From now on, all generations will
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: things for me. Only is his name. His mercy extends
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: to those who fear him from generation to generation. He
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: has performed mighty deeds with his arm. He has scattered
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: brought down rulers from their thrones, but has lifted up
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors. Mary
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: she gave birth to a son. Her neighbors and relatives
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: they shared her joy. On the eighth day, they came
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: to circumcise the child, and they were going to name
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: him after his father, Zechariah, but his mother spoke up
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: and said, no, he is to be called John. They
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: said to her, there is no one among your relatives
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: who has that name. Then they made signs to his
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: father to find out what he would like to name
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: the child. He asked for a writing tablet, and to
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: everyone's astonishment, he wrote, his name is John. Immediately his
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: mouth was open and his tongue set free, and he
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: began to speak, praising God. All the neighbors were filled
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: with awe, and throughout the hill country of Judea people
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: were talking about all these things. Everyone who heard this,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: wondered about it, asking what then is this child going
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: to be? For the Lord's hand was with him. His
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: he has come to his people and redeemed them. He
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: has raised up a horn of salvation for us in
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: the house of his servant David, as he said, through
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: his holy prophets of long ago, salvation from our enemies
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: and from the hand of all who hate us, to
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: show mercy to our ancestors, and to remember his holy covenant,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: the oath he swore to our father Abraham, to rescue
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: us from the hand of our enemies, and to enable
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: us to serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: before him all our days. And you, my child, will
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: be called a prophet of the most High, for you
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: will go on before the Lord to prepare the way
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: for him to give his people the knowledge of salvation
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: come to us from heaven to shine on those living
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: our feet into the path of peace. And the child
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: grew and became strong in spirit, and he lived in
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: the wilderness until he appeared publicly to Israel Luke Chapter two.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: In those days, Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: census should be taken of the entire Roman world. This
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: was the first census that took place while Quirinius was
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: governor of Syria, and everyone went to their own town
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: to register. So Joseph also went up from the town
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: of Nazareth and Galilee to Judea to Bethlehem, the town
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: of David, because he belonged to the house and line
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: of David. He went there to register with Mary, who
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: was pledged to be married to him and was expecting
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: a child. While they were there, the time came for
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: the baby to be born, and she gave birth to
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: her first born, a son. She wrapped him in cloths
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: and placed him in a manger because there was no
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: guest room available for them, and there were shepherds living
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: out in the fields nearby keeping watch over their flocks.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: At night, an angel of the Lord appeared to them,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: and the glory of the Lord shown around them, and
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: they were terrified, but the Angel said to them, do
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: not be afraid. I bring you good news that will
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: cause great joy for all the people. Today in the
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: town of David, a savior has been born to you.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: He is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: sign to you. You will find a baby wrapped in
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: claws and lying in a manger. Suddenly, a great company
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: of the heavenly host appeared with the Angel, praising God
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: and saying glory to God in the highest Heaven and
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: on earth, Peace to those on whom His favor rests.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: When the angels had left them and gone into heaven,
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the shepherd said to one another, let's go to Bethlehem
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: has told us about. So they hurried off and found
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Mary and Joseph and the baby who was lying in
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: word concerning what had been told them about this child,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: and all who heard it were amazed at what the
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: shepherd said to them. But Mary treasured up all these
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: glorifying and praising God for all the things they had
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: the child, he was named Jesus, the name the Angel
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: had given him before he was conceived. When the time
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: came for the purification rites required by the law of Moses,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: to the Lord. As it is written in the Law
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: of the Lord, every first born male is to be
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: consecrated to the Lord and to offer a sacrifice, in
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: a pair of doves or two young pigeons. Now there
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: is a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: and the Holy Spirit was on him. It had been
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: not die before he had seen the Lord's Messiah. Moved
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: him what the custom of the law required. Simeon took
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: him in his arms and praised God, saying, Sovereign Lord,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: as you have promised, you may now dismiss your servant
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: in peace. From my eyes have seen your salvation, which
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: you have prepared in the sight of all nations, a
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: light for revelation to the gentiles, and the glory of
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: your people Israel. The child's father and mother marveled at
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: what was said about him. Then Simeon blessed them and
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: said to marry his mother. This child is destined to
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: cause the falling and rising of many in Israel, and
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: to be a sign that will be spoken against, so
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed, and
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: a sword will pierce your own soul too. There is
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: also a prophet, Anna, the daughter of Penwell of the
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: tribe of Asher.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: She was very old.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: She had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: and then was a widow after she was eighty four.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: fasting and praying. Coming up to them at that very moment,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: own town of Nazareth, and the child grew and became strong.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: He was filled with wisdom, and the grace of God
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: was on him. Every year, Jesus's parents went to Jerusalem
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: for the festival of the Passover. When he was twelve
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: years old, they went up to the festival according to
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: the custom. After the festival was over, while his parents
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: but they were unaware of it, thinking he was in
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: their company. They traveled on for a day. Then they
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: began looking for him among their relatives and friends. When
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: to look for him. After three days, they found him
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: them and asking them questions. Everyone who heard him was
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: amazed at his understanding and his answers. When his parents
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, son,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: why have you treated us like this? Your father and
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I have been anxiously searching for you. Why were you
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: searching for me? He asked, didn't you know I had
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: to be in my father's house? But they did not
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: understand what he was saying to them. Then he went
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: But his mother treasured all these things in her heart,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: and Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: with God and man.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: Luke. Chapter three.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: when Pontius Pilot was governor of Judea Herod tetrarch of Galilee,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: his brother Philip tetrarch of Itrhea and Trachonitis, and Lysanius
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Tetrarch of Abilene. During the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: the word of God came to John, son of Zechariah,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: in the wilderness.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: He went into all.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: The country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: for the forgiveness of sins. As it is written in
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: the Book of the Words of Isaiah, the prophet a
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: voice of one calling in the wilderness. Prepare the way
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: of the Lord. Make straight paths for him. Every valley
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: shall be filled in every mountain and hill made low.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: The crooked road shall become straight, the rough ways smooth,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: and all people will see God's salvation. John said to
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, You
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: brood of vipers who warned you to flee from the
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: coming wrath. Produce fruit in keeping with repentance, and do
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: not begin to say to yourselves we have Abraham as
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: our father. For I tell you that out of these
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: stones God can raise up children for Abraham. The axe
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: is already at the root of the trees, and every
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: down and thrown into the fire. What should we do, then,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: the crowd asked. John answered, anyone who has two shirts
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: should share with the one who has none, and anyone
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: who has food should do the same. Even the tax
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: collectors came to be baptized teacher. They asked, what should
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: we do. Don't collect any more than you are required to,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: he told them. Then some soldiers asked him what should
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: we do. He replied, don't extort money, and don't accuse
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: people falsely. Be content with your pay. The people were
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts of
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: John might possibly be the messiah. John answered them all,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: I baptize you with water. But one who is more
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: powerful than I will come the straps of whose sandals
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fork is
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: in his hand to clear his threshing floor, and to
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: gather the wheat into his barn, that he will burn
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: up the chaff with unquenchable fire. And with many other words.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: John exhorted the people and proclaimed the good news to them.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: But when John rebuked Herod the tet Shark because of
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: his marriage to Herodius, his brother's wife, and all the
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: other evil things he had done, Herod added this to
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: them all. He locked John up in prison. When all
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too, and
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: as he was praying, was opened, and the Holy Spirit
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: descended on him in bodily form like a dove, and
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: a voice came from heaven. You are my son, whom
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: I love. With you, I am well pleased.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: his ministry. He was the son so it was thought

  Speaker 2: of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam,
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: the son.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Of God.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: was led by the spirit into the wilderness, where for
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: nothing during those days, and at the end of them
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: he was hungry. The devil said to him, if you
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: are the son of God, tell this stone to become bred.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Jesus answered, it is written, man shall not live on
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: bread alone. The devil led him up to a high
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: of the world world, and he said to him, I
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: will give you all their authority and splendor. It has
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: been given to me, and I can give it to
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: anyone I want. To If you worship me, it will
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: all be yours. Jesus answered, it is written, worship the
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Lord your God and serve him only. The devil led
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: point of the temple. If you are the son of God,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: he said, throw yourself down from here, for it is
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: written he will command his angels concerning you to guard
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: you carefully. They will lift you up in their hands,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Jesus answered, it is said, do not put the Lord
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: your God to the test. When the devil had finished
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Jesus returned to Galilee, and the power of the spirit
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: and news about him spread through the whole countryside. He
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: was teaching in their synagogues, and everyone praised him. He
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: was his custom. He stood up to read, and the
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: he found the place where it is written, the Spirit
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners, and recovery
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. Then he
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: rolled up scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: fastened on him. He began by saying to them, today
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing. All spoke well
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: of him and were amazed at the gracious words that
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: came from his lips. Isn't this Joseph's son, they asked.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Jesus said to.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Them, surely you will quote this proverb to me, physician,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: heal yourself, and you will tell me. Do hear in
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: your hometown what we have heard that you did in Capernaum? Truly,
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: I tell you, he continued, No prophet is accepted in
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: his hometown. I assure you that there were many widows
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: in Israel and Elijah's time when the sky was shut
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: for three and a half years, and there there is
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: a severe famine throughout the land. Yet Elijah was not
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: sent to any of them, but to a widow and
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Zaraphath in the region of Sidon and there were many
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: in Israel with leprosy in the time of Elisha the Prophet,
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Yet not one of them was cleansed, only Naman the Syrian.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: All the people in the synagogue were furious when they
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: heard this. They got up, drove him out of the town,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: and took him to the brow of the hill on
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: which the town was built, in order to throw him
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: off the cliff. But he walked right through the crowd
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: and went on his way. Then he went down to Capernaium,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he taught
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: the people. They were amazed at his teaching because his
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: words had authority. In the synagogue there was a man
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: possessed by a demon, an impure spirit. He cried out
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: at the top of his voice, go away, what do
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth, have you come
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: One of God. Be quiet, Jesus said sternly, come out
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: of him. Then the demon threw the man down before
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: them all and came out without injuring him. All the
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: people were amazed and said to each other, what words
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: these are? With authority and power? He gives orders to
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: impure spirits, and they come out, and the news about
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: him spread throughout the surrounding area. Jesus left the synagogue
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: and went to the home of Simon. Now, Simon's mother
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: in law was suffering from a high fever, and they
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: asked Jesus to help her. So he bent over her
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: and rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: up at once and began to wait on them. At sunset,
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: healed them. Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting,
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: you are the son of God, but he rebuked them
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: and would not allow them to speak because they knew
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: he was the Messiah. At daybreak, Jesus went out to
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: a solitary place. The people were looking for him, and
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: when they came to where he was, they tried to
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: keep him from leaving them, but he said, I must
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God to
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: the other towns also because that is why I was sent.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: And he kept on preaching in the synagogues of Judea.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Luke.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: One day, as Jesus was standing by the lake of Gennesaret.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: The people were crowding around him and listening to the
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: word of God. He saw at the water's edge two
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: boats left there by the fishermen who were washing their nets.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: He got into one of the boats, the one belonging
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: to Simon, and asked him to put out a little
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: from the boat. When he had finished speaking, he said
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: to Simon, put out into deep water and let down
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: the nets for a catch. Simon answered, Master, we've worked
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: say so, I will let down the nets. When they
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: had done so, they caught such a large number of
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: fish that their nets began to break. So they signaled
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: their partners in the other boat to come and help them,
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: and they came and filled both boats so full that
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: they began to sink. When Simon Peters saw this, he
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: fell at Jesus's knees and said, go away from me, Lord,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: I am a sinful man. For he and all his
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee,
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Simon's partners Then Jesus said to Simon, don't be afraid.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: From now on you will fish for people. So they
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: pulled their boats up on shore, left everything, and followed him.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus,
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, Lord,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: if you are willing, you can make me clean. Jesus
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: reached out his hand and touched the man. I am willing,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: he said, be clean, and immediately the leprosy left him.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Then Jesus ordered him, don't tell anyone, but go show
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: commanded for your cleansing as a testimony to them. Yet
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: the good news about him spread all the more so
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: that crowds of people came to hear him and to
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: be healed of their sicknesses. But Jesus often withdrew to
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: lonely places and prayed. One day, Jesus was teaching, and
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. They
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: had come from every village of Galilee, and from Judea
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: and Jerusalem, and the power of the Lord was with
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Jesus to heal the sick. Some men came carrying a
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: into the house to lay him before Jesus. When they
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: could not find a way to do this because of
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: him on his mat through the tiles in the middle
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: of the crowd, right in front of Jesus. When Jesus
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: saw their faith, he said, friend, your sins are forgiven.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: The Pharisees and the teachers of a law began thinking
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: to themselves, who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: can forgive sins? But God alone. Jesus knew what they
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: were thinking and asked, why are you thinking these things
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: in your hearts? Which is easier to say your sins
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: are forgiven, or to say get up and walk, But
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: I want you to know that the Son of Man
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: has authority on earth to forgive sins. So he said
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: to the paralyzed man, I tell you, get up, take
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: your mat, and go home. Immediately he stood up in
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: front of them, took what he had been lying on,
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: and went home, praising God. Everyone was amazed and gave
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: praise to God. They were filled with awe and said,
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: we have seen remarkable things today. After this, Jesus went
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: out and saw a tax collector by the name of
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Levi sitting at his tax booth. Follow me, Jesus said
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: to him, and Levi got up, left everything and followed him.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house,
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: eating with them. But the Pharisees and the teachers of
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: the law, who belonged to their sect, complained to his disciples,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Jesus answered them, it is not the healthy who need
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. They said to him,
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: John's disciples often fast and pray, and so to the
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: disciples of the Pharisees, But yours go on eating and drinking.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: Jesus answered, can you make the friends of the bridegroom
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: fast while he is with them? But the time will
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: come when the bridegroom will be taken from them. In
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: those days they will fast. He told them this parable
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: no one tears a piece out of a new garment
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: to patch an old one, Otherwise they will have torn
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: the new garment, and the patch from the new will
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: not match the old. And no one pours new wine
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: into old wine skins, otherwise the new wine will burst
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: the skin, the wine will run out, and the wine
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: skins will be ruined. Now new wine must be poured
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: into new wine skins. And no one, after drinking old
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: wine wants the new, for they say the old is better.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Luke chapter six. One sabbath, Jesus was going through the
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: green fields, and his disciples began to pick some heads
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: of grain, rub them in their hands, and eat the kernels.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Some of the Pharisees asked, why are you doing what
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: is unlawful on the sabbath. Jesus answered them, have you
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: ever read what David did when he and his companions
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: were hungry. He entered the House of God, and taking
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: the consecrated bread, he ate what is lawful only for
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: priests to eat, and he also gave some to his companions.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Then Jesus said, the son of Man is lord of
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: the Sabbath. On another Sabbath, he went into the synagogue
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: and was teaching, and a man was there whose right
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: hand was shriveled. The Pharisees and the teachers of the
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: law were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: they watched him closely to see if he would heal
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: on the Sabbath. But Jesus knew what they were thinking,
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: and said to the man with the shriveled hand, get
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: up and stand in front of everyone. So he got
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: up and stood there. Then Jesus said to them, I
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: ask you which is lawful on the sabbath, to do
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: good or to do evil, to save life or to
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: destroy it. He looked around at them all and then
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: said to the man, stretch out your hand. He did so,
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: and his hand was complete deatly restored. But the veri
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: sees and the teachers of the law were furious and
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: began to discuss with one another what they might do
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: to Jesus. One of those days, Jesus went out to
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: a mountainside to pray, and he spent the night praying
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: to God. When morning came, he called his disciples to
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Simon whom he named Peter, his brother Andrew James, John Philip, Bartholomew,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Matthew Thomas James, son of Alphaeus Simon, who was called
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: the zealot, Judas son of James, and Judas is Scariot
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: who became a traitor. He went down with them and
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: stood on a level place. A large crowd of his
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: disciples was there, and a great number of people from
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: all over Judea, from Jerusalem and from the coastal region
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: around Tire and Sidon, who had come to hear him
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: and to be healed of their diseases. Those troubled by
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: impure spirits were cured, and the people all tried to
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: touch him, because power was coming from him and healing
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: them all. Looking at his disciples, he said, Blessed are
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Blessed are you who weep, now for you will laugh.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: you and insult you and reject your name as evil
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: because of the Son of Man. Rejoice in that day
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets. But
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: woe to you who are rich, for you have already
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: received your comfort. Woe to you who are well fed now,
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: for you will go hungry. Woe to you who laugh, now,
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: for you will mourn and weep. Woe to you when
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: everyone speaks well of you, For that is how their
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: ancestors treated the false prophets. But to you who are listening,
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: I say, love your enemies, do good to those who
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: hate you, Bless those who curse you, Pray for those
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: who mistreat you. If someone slaps you on one cheek,
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: turn to them the other. Also, if someone takes your coat,
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: do not withhold your shirt from them. Give to everyone
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: who asks you. And if anyone takes what belongs to you,
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: do not demand it back due to other as you
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: would have them do to you. If you love those
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: who love you, what credit is that to you? Even
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: sinners love those who love them. And if you do
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: good to those who are good to you, what credit
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: is that to you? Even sinners do that. And if
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies,
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: do good to them, and lend to them without expecting
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: to get anything back. Then your reward will be great,
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: and you will be children of the most High, because
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: just as your father is merciful. Do not judge, and
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: Give and it will be given to you. A good measure,
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: into your lap. For with a measure you use, it
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: will be measured to you. He also told them this parable.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: fall into a pit? The student is not above the teacher,
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: in your own eye. How can you say to your
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: brother brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: when you yourself fail to see the plank in your
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: own eye, You hypocrite, First take the plank out of
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: the speck from your brother's eye. No good tree bears
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: not pick figs from thorn bushes or grapes from briars.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: A good man brings good things out of the good
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: Why do you call me lord lord, and do not
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: do what I say? As for everyone who comes to
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: me and hears my words and puts them into practice,
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: I will show you what they are like. They are
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: like a man building a house who dug down deep
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came,
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: the torrent struck that house, but could not shake it
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: because it was well built. But the man who hears
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: my words and does not put them into practice is
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: like a man who built a house on the ground
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house,
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: it collapsed, and its destruction was complete. Luke chapter seven.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: who were listening. He entered Capernaum. There a centurion servant
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: whom his master valued highly, was sick and about to die.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: The centurion heard of Jesus and sent some elders of
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: the Jews to him, asking him to come and heal
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: his servant. When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: with him, this man deserves to have you do this
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: because he our nation and has built our synagogue. So
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Jesus went with them. He was not far from the
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: house when the centurion sent friends to him. Lord, don't
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: come under my roof. That is why I did not
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: the word, and my servant will be healed. For I
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: I tell this one go and he goes, and that
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: one come and he comes. I say to my servant,
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: do this, and he does it. When Jesus heard this,
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: he was amazed at him, and, turning to the crowd
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: following him, he said, I tell you, I have not
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: found such great faith even in Israel. Then the men
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: who had been sent returned to the house and found
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: the servant well. Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: called Nanne, and his disciples and a large crowd went
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: along with him. As he approached the town gate, a
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: dead person was being carried out, the only son of
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: his mother. And she was a widow, and a large
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: crowd from the town was with her. When the Lord
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: saw her, his heart went out to her, and he said,
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: don't cry. Then he went up and touched the bier
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: they were carrying him on, and the bearers stood still.
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: He said, young man, I say to you, get up.
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: The young man sat up and began to talk, and
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: Jesus gave him back to his mother. They were all
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: filled with awe and praised God. A great prophet has
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: appeared among us. They said, God has come to help
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: his people. This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: this round in country. John's disciples told him about all
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: these things. Calling two of them, he sent them to
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: the Lord to ask, are you the one who is
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: to come? Or should we expect someone else. When the
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: men came to Jesus, they said, John the Baptist sent
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: us to you to ask, are you the one who
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: is to come, or should we expect someone else? At
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: that very time, Jesus cured many who had diseases, sicknesses,
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: So he replied to the messengers, go back, then report
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: to John what you have seen and heard. The blind
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: received sight, the lame walk, Those who have leprosy are
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: cleansed the deaf. Here the dead are raised, and the
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: good news is proclaimed to the poor. Blessed is anyone
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: who does not stumble on account of me. After John's
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: messengers left, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John.
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: Why did you go out into the wilderness to see
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: a reed swayed by the wind? If not, what did
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: you go out to see a man dressed in fine clothes? No,
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: those who wear expensive clothes and indulge in luxury are
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: in palaces.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: But what did you go out to see? A prophet?
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet, this
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: is the one about whom it is written. I will
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: way before you. I tell you. Among those born of women,
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: there is no one greater than John. Yet the one
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: who is leased in the Kingdom of God is.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: Greater than he.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: All the people, even the tax collectors, when they heard
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: Jesus's words, acknowledged that God's way was right because they
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: had been baptized by John. But the Pharisees and the
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: experts in the law rejected God's purpose for themselves because
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: they had not been baptized by John. Jesus went on
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: to say, to what, then, can I compare the people
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: of this generation?
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: What are they like?
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: They are like children in the market place and calling
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: out to each other. We played the pipe for you,
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: and you did not dance. We sang a dirge, and
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: you did not cry. For John the Baptist came neither
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say he has
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: a demon. The son of Man came eating and drinking,
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: and you say, here is a glutton and a drunkard,
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: a friend of tax collectors and sinners. But wisdom is
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: proved right by all her children. When one of the
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: to the pharisees house and reclined at the table. A
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: that Jesus was eating at the pharisees house, so she
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: came there with an alabaster jar of perfume. As she
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: stood behind him at his feet weeping, she began to
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: wet his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: with her hair, kissed them, and poured perfume on them.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: said to himself, if this man were a prophet, he
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: would know who was touching him. And what kind of
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: woman she is, that she is a sinner. Jesus answered him, Simon,
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: I have something to tell you. Tell me, teacher, He said,
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: two people owed money to a certain money lender. One
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: owed him five hundred dinari i and the other fifty.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: Neither of them had the money to pay him back,
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: so he forgave the debts of both. Now, which of
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: them will love him more? Replied, I suppose the one
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: who had the bigger debt forgiven. You have judged correctly,
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Jesus said. Then he turned toward the woman and said
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: to Simon, do you see this woman. I came into
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: your house. You did not give me any water for
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: and wiped them with her hair. You did not give
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: me a kiss. This woman, from the time I entered
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: has not stopped kissing my feet. You did not put
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: my feet. Therefore I tell you her, many sins have
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: been forgiven, as her great love has shown. But whoever
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: has been given little loves little. Then Jesus said to her,
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: your sins are forgiven. The other guests began to say
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: among themselves, who is this who even forgive sins? Jesus
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: said to the woman, your faith has saved you. Go
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: in peace, Luke chapter eight. After this, Jesus traveled about
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: news of the Kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him,
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: and also some women who had been cured of evil
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: spirits and diseases. Mary called Magdalen, from whom seven demons
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: had come out, Joanna, the wife of Choosa, the manager
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: of Herod's household Susannah, and many others. These women were
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: helping to support them out of their own means, while
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: a large crowd was gathering and people were coming to
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: Jesus from town after town he told this parable. A
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: scattering the seed, some fell along the path. It was
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: trampled on, and the birds ate it. Some fell on
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: rocky ground, and when it came up, the plants weathered
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: because they had no moisture. Other seed fell among thorns,
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: which grew up with it and choked the plants. Still
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: other seed fell on good soil. It came up and
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: yielded a crop a hundred times more than was sown.
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: When he said this, he called out, whoever has ears
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: to hear, let them hear. His disciples asked what this
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: parable meant. He said, the knowledge of the secrets of
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: the Kingdom of God has been given to you and
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: to others. I speak in parables, so that though seeing
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: they may not see, though hearing they may not understand.
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: This is the meaning of the parable. The seed is
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: the word of God. Those along the path are the
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: away the word from their hearts, so that they may
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: not believe and be saved. Those on the rocky ground
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: are the ones who receive the word with joy when
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: they hear it, but they.
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: Have no root.
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: They believe for a while, but in the time of
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: testing they fall away. The seed that fell among thorns
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: stands for those who hear, but as they go on
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: their way, they are choked by life's worries, riches, and pleasures,
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: and they do not mature. But the seed on good
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: soil stands for those with noble and good heart who
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: hear the word, retain it, and by persevering, produce a crop.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: No one lights a lamp and hides it in a
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: put it on a stand so that those who come
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: in can see the light. For there is nothing hidden
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: not be known or brought out into the open. Therefore,
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more.
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: Whoever does not have, even what they think they have,
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: will be taken from them. Now, Jesus mother and brothers
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: came to see him, but they were not able to
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: get near him because of the crowd. Someone told him,
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: your mother and brothers are standing outside wanting to see you.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: He replied, My mother and brothers are those who hear
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: God's way word and put it into practice. One day,
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: Jesus said to his disciples, let us go over to
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: the other side of the lake. So they got into
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: a boat and set out. As they sailed, he fell asleep.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: A squaw came down on the lake, so that the
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: The disciples went and woke him, saying, Master, Master, we're
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: going to drown. He got up and rebuked the wind
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: in the raging waters. The storm subsided and all was calm.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: Where is your faith? He asked his disciples in fear
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: and amazement. They asked one another, who is this? He
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: commands even the winds in the water, and they obey him.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: They sailed to the region of the Garrisones, which is
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: across the lake from Galilee. When Jesus stepped ashore, he
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: was met by a demon possessed man from the town.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: For a long time. This man had not worn clothes
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs.
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, what
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: do you want with me? Jesus, Son of the Most
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: High God? I beg you don't torture me, for Jesus
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: man many times it had seized him, and though he
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: had broken his chains and had been driven by the
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: demon into solitary places. Jesus asked him, what is your name, Legion?
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: He REPLI because many demons had gone into him, and
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: into the abyss. A large herd of pigs was feeding
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission.
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: When the demons came out of the man, they went
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: bank into the lake and was drowned. When those tending
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: reported this in the town and countryside, and the people
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: went out to see what had happened. When they came
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: to see Jesus, they found the man from whom the
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: demons had gone out sitting at Jesus's feet, dressed and
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: in his right mind, and they were afraid. Those who
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: had seen it told the people how the demon possessed
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: man had been cured. Then all the people of the
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: region of the Garrisines asked Jesus to leave them because
• 58:05
  Speaker 2: they were overcome with fear. So he got into the
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: boat and left. The man from whom the demons had
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: him away, saying, return home and tell how much God
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: has done for you. So the man went away and
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: told all over town how much Jesus had done for him. Now,
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: all expecting him. Then a man named Jyrus, a synagogue leader,
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: came and fell at Jesus's feet, pleading with him to
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: come to his house because his only daughter, a girl
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: of about twelve, was dying. As Jesus was on his way,
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: the crowds almost crushed him. And a woman was there
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years, but
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: no one could heal her. She came up behind him
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: and touched the edge of his cloak, and immediately her
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: bleeding stopped. Who touched me? Jesus asked, when they all
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: denied it, Peter said, but Master, the people are crowding
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: and pressing against you. But Jesus said, someone touched me.
• 59:31
  Speaker 2: I know that power has gone out from me. Then
• 59:34
  Speaker 2: the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: trembling and fell at his feet and the presence of
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: all the people. She told why she had touched him
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: and how she had been instantly healed. Then he said
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: to her daughter, your faith has healed you.
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: Go in peace.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: of Gyros, the synagogue leader. Your daughter is dead, he said,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: don't bother the teacher anymore. Hearing this, Jesus said to Gyros,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: don't be afraid, just believe.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: And she will be healed.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: When he arrived at the house of Gyros, he did
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: not let anyone go in with him except Peter, John
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: and James, and the child's father and mother. Meanwhile, all
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: the people were wailing and mourning for her. Stop wailing.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: Jesus said, she is not dead, but asleep. They laughed
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: at him, knowing that she was dead. But he took
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: her by the hand and said, my child, get up.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: Jesus told them to give her something to eat. Her
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: parents were astonished, but he ordered them not to tell
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: anyone what had happened. Luke chapter nine. When Jesus had
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: called the twelve together, it gave them power and authority
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: he sent them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: and to heal the sick. He told them take nothing
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: for the journey. No staff, no bag, no bread, no money,
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: no extra shirt. Whatever house you enter, stay there until
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: you leave that town. If people do not welcome you,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: leave their town and shake the dust off your feet
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: as a testimony against them. So they set out and
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: went from village to village, proclaiming the good news and
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: healing people everywhere. Now Herod, the tetrarch, heard about all
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: that was going on, and he was perplexed because some
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: were saying that John had been raised from the dead,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: of the prophets of long ago had come back to life.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: But Herod said, I beheaded John, Who then is this?
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: I hear such things about, and he tried to see him.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus what they
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: had done. Then he took them with him, and they
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: withdrew by themselves to a town called bethsaida. But the
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: and spoke to them about the Kingdom of God, and
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: healed those who needed healing. Late in the afternoon, the
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: twelve came to him and said, send the crowd away,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: and find food and lodging, because we are in a
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: remote place here. He replied, you give them something to eat.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: They answered, we only have five loaves of bread and
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: two fish unless we go and buy food for all
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: this crowd. About five thousand men were there. But he
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: said to his disciples, have them sit down in groups
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 2: of about fifty each. The disciples did so, and everyone
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: sat down, taking the five loaves and the two fish,
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: and looking up to Heaven, he gave thanks and broke them.
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: left over. Once when Jesus was praying in private and
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 2: his disciples were with him. He asked them, who do
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: the crowd say I am? They replied, some say John
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: the Baptist, others say Elijah, and still others that one
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: But what about you, He asked, who do you say
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: I am? Peter answered, God's Messiah. Jesus strictly warned them
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: not to tell this to anyone, and he said, the
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: by the elders, the chief priests, and the teachers of
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: the law, and he must be killed, and on the
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: third day be raised to life. Then he said to
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: them all, whoever wants to be my disciple must deny
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: For whoever wants to save their life will lose it,
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: But whoever loses their life from me will save it.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: What good is it for someone to gain the whole
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 2: world and yet lose or forfeit their very self. Whoever
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: his glory and in the glory of the Father and
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: of the Holy angels. Truly, I tell you some who
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: are standing here will not taste death before they see
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: the Kingdom of God. About eight days after Jesus said this,
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: he took Peter, John, and James with him and went
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: up onto a mountain to pray. As he was praying,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 2: the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 2: as bright as a flash of lightning. Two men, Moses
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. They
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: spoke about his departure, but she was about to bring
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: to fulfill at Jerusalem. Peter and his companions were very sleepy,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: and the two men standing with him. As the men
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, Master, it is
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: good for us to be here. Let us put up
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: for Elijah. He did not know what he was saying.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: and they were afraid. As they entered the cloud, a
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: voice came from the cloud, saying, this is my son
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: whom I have chosen. Listen to him, Luke chapter ten.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: After this, the Lord appointed seventy two others, and sent
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: them two by two ahead of him to every town
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: and place where he was about to go them. The
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: his harvest field. Go, I am sending you out like
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: lambs among wolves. Do not take a purse or bag
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: or sandals, and do not greet anyone on the road.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: When you enter a house, first say peace to this house.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: rest on them. If not, it will return to you.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: house to house. When you enter a town and are welcomed,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: eat what is offered to you. Heal the sick who
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: are there, and tell them the Kingdom of God has
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: come near to you. But when you enter a town
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: even the dust of your town we wipe from our
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this,
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: the Kingdom of God has come near. I tell you
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 2: than for that town. Woe to you chorisen. Woe to you, BETHSAIDA,
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: For if the miracles that were performed in you had
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: been performed entire and sidon, they would have repented long ago,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: sitting in sackcloth and ashes. But it will be more
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: bearable for tire and Sidon at the judgment than for
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: you and you copernaium. Will you be lifted to the heavens, No,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: you will go down to hades. Whoever listens to you
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: listens to me. Whoever rejects you rejects me. But whoever
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: rejects me rejects him who says to me. The seventy
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 2: two returned with joy and said, Lord, even the demons
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: submit to us in your name. He replied, I saw
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: authority to trample on snakes and scorpions, and to overcome
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: all the power of the enemy. Nothing will harm you. However,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: rejoice that your names are written in heaven. At that time, Jesus,
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said I praise you, Father,
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: Lord of Heaven and Earth, because you have hidden these
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 2: things from the wise and learned and revealed them to
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you will
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: please to do. All things have been committed to me
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: by the Father. No one knows who the son is
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: except the father. And no one knows who the father
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 2: is except the son, and knows to whom the son
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: chooses to reveal him. Then he turned to his disciples
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: and said, privately, blessed are the.
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: Eyes that see what you see.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 2: to see what you see, but did not see it,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: and to hear what you hear, but did not hear it.
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: On one occasion, an expert in the law stood up
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: to test Jesus teacher. He asked, what must I do
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: to inherit eternal life? What is written in the law?
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: He replied, how do you read it? He answered, Love
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: the Lord your God, with all your heart, and with
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: all your soul, and with all your strength, and with
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself. You
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: have answered correctly. Jesus replied, do this and you will live.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked, Jesus,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: and who is my neighbor? Then replied Jesus said, a
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 2: was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead. A
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: priest happened to be going down the same road, and
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: when he saw the man, he passed by on the
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 2: the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: and when he saw him, he took pity on him.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: oil and wine. Then he put the man on his
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: of him. The next day, he took out two denari
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: and gave them to the innkeeper look after him. He said,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 2: and when I return, I will reimburse you for any
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: extra expense you may have. Which of these three do
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: you think was a neighbor to the man who fell
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 2: into the hands of robbers? The expert in the law replied,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 2: the one who had mercy on him. Jesus told him
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: go and do likewise. As Jesus and his disciples were
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: on their way he came to a village where a
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 2: a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: listening to what he said. But Martha was just stracted
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: by all the preparations that had.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: To be made.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 2: She came to him and asked, Lord, don't you care
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: that my sister has left me to do the work
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: by myself. Tell her to help me, Martha Martha. The
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: Lord answered, you are worried and upset about many things,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: but few things are needed. Or indeed, only one Mary
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: has chosen what is better, and it will not be
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: taken away from her. Luke eleven. One day Jesus was
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: just as John taught his disciples. He said to them,
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: when you pray, say father, hollow would be your name,
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: your kingdom. Come give us each day our daily bread,
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: sins against us, and lead us not into temptation. Then
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: Jesus said to them, suppose you have a friend, and
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: you go to him at midnight and say, friend, lend
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: me three loaves of bread. A friend of mine on
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: a journey has come to me, and I have no
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: food to offer him. And suppose the one inside answers,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: don't bother me. The door has already locked in. My
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: children and I are in bed. I can't get up
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: and give you anything. I tell you. Even though he
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 2: will not get up and give you the bread because
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: of friendship, Yet because of your shameless audacity, he will
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: surely get up and give you as much as you need.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: So I say to you, ask and it will be
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: given to you. Seek and you will find. Knock, and
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: the door will be opened to you. For everyone who
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 2: asks receives. The one who seeks finds, and to the
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: one who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, fathers,
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: if your son asks for a fish, will give him
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: a snake instead, Or if he asks for an egg,
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: will give him a scorpion. If you, then, though you
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children,
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: how much more will your Father in Heaven give the
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: Holy Spirit to those who ask him. Jesus was driving
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: out a demon that was mute. When the demon left,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: was amazed, but some of them said, bye, be Yelsible,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 2: the prince of demons. He is driving out demons. Others
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 2: tested him by asking for a sign from heaven. Jesus
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 2: knew their thoughts and said to them, any kingdom divided
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: itself will fall. If Satan is divided against himself, how
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: can his kingdom stand. I say this because you claim
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: that I drive out demons by beelsible. Now if I
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: drive out demons by beelsible, by whom do your followers
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: drive them out? So? Then they will be your judges.
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: But if I drive out demons by the finger of God,
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: then the kingdom of God has come upon you. When
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: a strong man fully armed, guards his own house, his
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: possessions are safe. But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: he takes away the armor in which the man trusted
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: and divides up his plunder. Whoever is not with me
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 2: is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 2: goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: Then it says, I will return to the house I
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 2: left When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: and put in order. Then it goes and takes seven
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: and live there. And the final condition of that person
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: is worse than the first. As Jesus was saying these things,
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: a woman in the crowd called out, blessed is the
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: mother who gave you birth and nursed you. He replied, blessed,
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: rather are those who hear the word of God and
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: obey it. As the crowds increased, Jesus said, this is
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: a wicked generation. It asks for a sign, but none
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: will be given it except the sign of Jonah. For
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: as Jonah was a sign to the Ninovites, so also
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: will the Son of Man be to this generation. The
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 2: Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: the people of this generation and condemn them, for she
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: came from the ends of the earth to listen to
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: Solomon's wisdom, and now something greater than Solomon is here.
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 2: The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: is here. No one lights a lamp and puts it
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: in a place where it will be hidden or under
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, so
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: that those who come in may see the light. Your
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 2: eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 2: are healthy, your whole body also is full of light.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 2: of darkness. See to it then, that the light within
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 2: you is not darkness. Therefore, if your whole body is
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: full of light and no part of it dark, it
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: will be just as full of light as when a
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: lamp shines its light on you. When Jesus had finished speaking,
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: a pharisee invited him.
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: To eat with him.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: So he went in and reclined at the table. But
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: the pharisee was surprised when he noticed that Jesus did
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: not first wash before the meal. Then the Lord said
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: to him, Now, then, you pharisees, clean the outside of
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: the cup and dish, But inside you are full of
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: greed and wickedness. You foolish people. Did not the one
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: who made the outside make the inside also. But now,
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: as for what is inside, you be generous to the poor,
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 2: and everything will be clean for you. Woe to you, Pharisees,
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: because you give God a tenth of your mint rue
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: justice and the love of God. You should have practiced
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: the latter without leaving the former undone. Woe to you, Pharisees,
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: because you love the most important seats in the synagogues
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: and respectful greetings in the marketplaces. Woe to you because
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 2: you are like unmarked graves which people walk over without
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 2: knowing it. One of the experts in the law answered him, teacher,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 2: when you say these things, you insult us. Also, Jesus replied,
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: and you experts in the law, Woe to you, because
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry,
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: Woe to you because you build tombs for the prophets,
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: and it was your ancestors who killed them. So you
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: testify that you approve of what your ancestors did. They
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: killed the prophets, and you build their tombs. Because of this,
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: God in his wisdom, said, I will send them prophets
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 2: and apostles, some of whom they will kill, and others
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: they will persecute. Therefore, this generation will be held responsible
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: for the blood of all the prophets that has been
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: shed since the beginning of the world, from the blood
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you,
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: this generation will be held responsible for it all. Woe
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: to you experts in the law, because you have taken
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered,
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 2: and you have hindered those who were entering. When Jesus
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 2: went outside, the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 2: began to oppose him fiercely and to besiege him with questions,
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 2: waiting to catch him in something he might say Luke
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: chapter twelve. Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 2: gathered so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: began to speak first to his disciples, saying, be on
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 2: hidden that will not be made known. What you have
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: said in the dark will be heard in the daylight,
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: and what you have whispered in the ear in the
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs I tell you,
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 2: the body, and after that can do no more. But
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 2: I will show you whom you should fear. Fear him, who,
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: after your body has been killed, has the authority to
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 2: throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 2: Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies, yet not
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 2: hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: you are worth more than many sparrows. Tell you, whoever
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 2: publicly acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man, will
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 2: also acknowledge before the angels of God. But whoever disowns
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 2: me before others will be disowned before the angels of God.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 2: And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: Man will be forgiven. But anyone who blasphemes against the
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. When you are brought
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 2: before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not worry about how
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 2: you will defend yourselves or what you will say, for
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 2: you should say. Someone in the crowd said to him, teacher,
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 2: tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me. Jesus replied,
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: man who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 2: Then he said to them, watch out, be on your
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 2: guard against all kinds of greed. Life does not consist
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: in an abundance of possessions. And he told them this
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 2: parable the ground of a certain rich man yielded an
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: abundant harvest. He thought to himself, what shall I do.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: I have no place to store my crops. Then he said,
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: this is what I'll do. I will tear down my
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 2: barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: my surplus grain. And I'll say to myself, you have
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 2: plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy, eat, drink,
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: and be merry. But God said to him, you fool,
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 2: This very night, your life will be demanded from you.
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 2: This is how it will be with whoever stores up
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: things for themselves but is not rich towards God. Then
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: Jesus said to his disciples, therefore, I tell you, do
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 2: not worry about your life, what you will eat, or
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: about your body what you will wear, For life is
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 2: more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: the ravens. They do not sow or reap, they have
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 2: no storeroom or barn, Yet God feeds them. And how
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: much more valuable you are than birds, who of you,
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: by worrying, can add a single hour to your life.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 2: Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: you worry about the rest? Consider how the wild flowers grow.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: not even Solomon and all his splendor, was dressed like
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: one of these. If that is how God closed the
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: grass of the field, here today and tomorrow is thrown
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: into the fire, how much more will He clothe you,
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: you of little faith, And do not set your heart
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: on what you will eat or drink. Do not worry
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: about it, for the pagan world runs after all such things,
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: and your father knows that you need them. But seek
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: his kingdom, and these things will be given to you
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 2: as well. Do not be afraid, little flock, for your
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: Father has been pleased.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: To give you the kingdom.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 2: heaven that will never fail, Where no thief comes near,
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is there,
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 2: your heart will be also. Be dressed ready for service,
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 2: and keep your lamps burning like ser vents waiting for
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: their master to return from a wedding banquet, so when
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: he comes and knocks, they can immediately open the door
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: for him. It will be good for those servants whose
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: master finds them watching when he comes. Truly, I tell you,
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 2: he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: at the table, and will come and wait for them.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 2: It will be good for those servants whose master finds
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 2: them ready, even if he comes in the middle of
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 2: the night or toward daybreak. But understand this. If the
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: owner of the house had known what hour the thief
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 2: was coming, he would not have let his house be
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 2: broken into. You also must be ready, because the son
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: of man will come at an hour when you do
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 2: not expect him. Peter asked, Lord, are you telling this
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 2: parable to us.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: Or to everyone?
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: The Lord answered, who then is the faithful and wise
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 2: manager whom the master puts in charge of his servants
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: to give them their food allowance at the proper time.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: It will be good for that servant whom the master
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: finds doing so, when he returns, truly, I tell you,
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: he will put him in charge of all his possessions.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 2: But suppose the servant says to himself, my master is
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 2: taking a long time and coming, and he then begins
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 2: to beat the other servants, both men and women, and
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: to eat and drink and get drunk. The master of
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 2: that servant will come on a day when he does
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 2: not expect him, and at an hour he is not
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 2: aware of, he will cut him to pieces and assign
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: him a place with the unbelievers. The servant who knows
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: the master's will and does not get ready, or does
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 2: not do what the master wants, will be beaten with
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: many blows. But the one who does not no and
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 2: does things deserving of punishment will be beaten with few blows.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 2: From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded,
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 2: and from the one who has been entrusted with much
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 2: much more will be asked. I have come to bring
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 2: fire on the earth, and how I wish it were
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 2: already kindled. But I have a baptism to undergo, and
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: what constraint I am under until it is completed. Do
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 2: you think I came to bring peace on earth, Oh,
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 2: I tell you, but division. From now on there will
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: be five and one family divided against each other, three
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: against two, and two against three. They will be divided,
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 2: father against son, and son against father, mother against daughter,
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: and daughter against mother, mother in law against daughter in law,
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 2: and daughter in law against mother in law. He said
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 2: to the crowd, when you see a cloud rising in
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: the west, immediately you say it's going to rain, and
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 2: it does. And when the south wind blows, you say
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 2: it's going to be hot, and it is hypocrites. You
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 2: the sky. How is it that you don't know how
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: to interpret this present time? Why don't you judge for
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 2: yourselves what is right. As you are going with your
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 2: adversary to the magistrate, try hard to be reconciled on
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 2: the way, or your adversary may drag you off to
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 2: the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer,
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: and the officer throw you into prison. I tell you
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: you will not get out until you have paid the
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 2: last penny Luke thirteen. Now, there were some present at
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 2: pilot had mixed with their sacrifices. Jesus answered, do you
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: other Galileans because they suffered this way? I tell you no,
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 2: But unless you repent, you too will all perish. Or
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 2: those eighteen who died when the tower in Saloam fell
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 2: on them, do you think they were more guilty than
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 2: all the others living in Jerusalem? I tell you no,
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 2: but unless you repent, you too will all perish. Than
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: he told this parable, a man had a fig tree
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 2: fruit on it, but did not find any. So he
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: said to the man who took care of the vineyard.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: For three years now, I've been coming to look for
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: fruit on this fig tree and haven't found any. Cut
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 2: it down. Why should it use up the soil, sir?
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 2: The man replied, Leave it alone for one more year,
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 2: and I'll dig around it and fertilize it. If it
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 2: bears fruit next year, fine, If not, then cut it down.
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 2: On a Sabbath, Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 2: and a woman was there who had been crippled by
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 2: a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 2: could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her,
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 2: he called her forward and said to her, woman, you
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 2: are set free from your infirmity. Then he put his
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 2: hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 2: Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, ynagogue leaders
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 2: said to the people, there are six days for work,
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 2: so come and be healed on those days, not on
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 2: the Sabbath. The Lord answered him, you hypocrites. Doesn't each
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 2: of you, on the Sabbath untie your ox or donkey
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 2: from the stall and lead it out to give it water.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 2: Satan has kept a bound for eighteen long years, be
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her.
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 2: When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated, but
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 2: was doing. Then Jesus asked, what is the Kingdom of
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 2: God like? What shall I compare it to? It is
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: like a mustard seed which a man took and planted
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 2: the birds perched in its branches. Again, he asked, what
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 2: shall I compare the Kingdom of God to? It is
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 2: like the yeast that a woman took and mixed into
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 2: about sixty pounds of flour until it worked all through
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 2: the dough. Then Jesus went through the towns and villages teaching.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 1: As he made his way to.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 2: Jerusalem, someone asked him, Lord, are only a few people
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 2: going to be saved? He said, to them, make every
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: tell you, will try to enter and will not be
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 2: able to. Once the owner of the house gets up
• 1:35:48
  Speaker 2: and closes the door, you will stand outside, knocking and pleading,
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 2: Sir open the door for us, But he will end,
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know you or where you come from. Then
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: you will say, we ate and drank with you, and
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: you taught in our streets. But he will reply, I
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 2: don't know you or where you come from. Away from me,
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: all you evil doers. There will be weeping there and
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 2: gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 2: and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God, but
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 2: you yourselves thrown out. People will come from east and west,
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 2: and north and south, and will take their places at
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: the feast in the Kingdom of God. Indeed, there are
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 2: those who are last who will be first, and first
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 2: who will be last. At that time, some pharisees came
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 2: to Jesus and said to him, leave this place and
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 2: go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you. He replied,
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 2: go tell that fox. I will keep on driving out
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 2: third day I will reach my goal. In any case,
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 2: I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day,
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 2: for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 2: you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you.
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 2: How often I have longed to gather your children together
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 2: you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you. Desolate.
• 1:37:49
  Speaker 1: I tell you.
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 2: Will not see me again until you say Blessed is
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: he who comes in the name of the Lord.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: Luke.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: Fourteen one Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 2: house of a prominent pharisee, he was being carefully watched.
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 2: There in front of him was a man suffering from
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 2: abnormal swelling of his body. Jesus asked the pharisees and
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 2: experts in the law, is it lawful to heal on
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 2: the sabbath or not? But they remained silent. So taking
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 2: hold of the man, he healed him and sent him
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: on his way. Then he asked them, if one of
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 2: you has a child or an ox that falls into
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: a well on the Sabbath day, will you not immediately
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 2: pull it out? And they had nothing to say. When
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 2: at the table, he told them this parable when someone
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 2: invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 2: place of honor for a person more distinguished than you
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 2: may have been invited. If so, the host who invited
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 2: both of you will come and say to you, give
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: this person your seat. Then, humiliated, you will have to
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 2: take the least important place. But when you are invited,
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 2: take the lowest place, so that when your host comes,
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 2: he will say to you, friend, move up to a
• 1:39:30
  Speaker 2: better place. Then you will be honored in the presence
• 1:39:34
  Speaker 2: of all the other guests. For all those who exalt
• 1:39:38
  Speaker 2: themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 2: be exalted. Then Jesus said to his host, when you
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends,
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 2: your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: If you do, they may invite you back, and so
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet,
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 2: invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 2: you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 2: will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous. When
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 2: one of those at the table with him heard this,
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 2: he said to Jesus, blessed is the one who will
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 2: eat at the feast in the Kingdom of God. Jesus replied,
• 1:40:30
