All the Miracles of Jesus in One Video_ – Watch This and Be Amazed · truthunedited

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Jesus began his mission after thirty years of living as
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: an ordinary man. After being baptized by John in the
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Jordan River, the heavens opened, the Holy Spirit descended upon
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: him like a dove, and a voice from heaven said,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Immediately after, Jesus went into the wilderness, where he spent
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: forty days being tempted, but he did not give in.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: It was now time to begin his public ministry and
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: reveal his divine power through signs and wonders that defied explanation.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: These first miracles weren't just displays of supernatural ability. They
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: were evidence of his identity and mission. Let's now follow
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: all the miracles of Jesus in a single video. In
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: John chapter two, verses one to eleven, we read about
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: jesus first miracle. It took place in a small village
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: called Kanna in Galilee, during a wedding celebration. Jesus mother
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: invited to the wedding. These celebrations could last for several
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: days and the whole community would usually take part. During
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the festivities. Something disastrous happened. The wine ran out for
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the hosts. This wasn't just a minor inconvenience in that culture.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: It meant deep shame and embarrassment for the newlyweds and
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: their families. Mary, the mother of Jesus, noticed the problem
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and went directly to him. They have no more wine.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: She didn't explicitly ask for a miracle, but she knew
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Jesus could handle the situation. Jesus replied, woman, what does
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: that have to do with you and me? My hour
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: has not yet come. Mary simply told the servants do
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: whatever he tells you. She had complete confidence that Jesus
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: would take care of it, even though he hadn't promised
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to do anything. Nearby stood six large stone jars. Jesus
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: told the servants fill the jars with water. Each jar
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: could hold between eighty and one hundred and twenty liters,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: and they filled them to the brim, over five hundred
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: liters in total. Then Jesus said, now draw some out
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and take it to the master of the banquet. The
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: servants did as they were told, and when the banquet
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: master tasted the liquid, he was stunned. The water had
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: turned into wine and not just any wine. It was
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: of the highest quality. The banquet master didn't even know
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: where it had come from. He called the groom and said,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: everyone brings out the choice wine first, and then the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: But you have saved the best till now. John ends
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the passage by saying this was the first of the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: signs through which Jesus revealed his glory, and his disciples
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: believed in him. This miracle marked the official beginning of
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: his public ministry, and the disciples saw it and believed
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: he was no ordinary man. The second and miracle of
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Jesus is recorded in John chapter four, verses forty six
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to fifty four. Jesus returned to Cana in Galilee, where
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: he had turned water into wine, but this time he
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: wasn't met with celebration. He was met by a desperate father.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: There was a certain royal official whose son lay sick
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: at Capernium. This man was likely a government officer under
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: herod Antipas. His son was gravely ill on the verge
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: of death in Capernium, about thirty kilometers from Cana. When
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the official heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: He immediately went to find him. After the long journey
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: to Cana. He begged Jesus to come and heal his son,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: who was dying. Jesus responded with something that might sound
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: strange at first. Unless you people see signs and wonders,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you will never believe. It wasn't a direct rebuke to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the man, but a comment on how many people only
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: believed after to witnessing miracles. The official, however, wasn't interested
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: in theology. His child was dying. Sir, come down before
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: my child dies, he pleaded, showing just how urgent the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: situation was. Instead of traveling back with him, Jesus simply said, go,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: your son will live. No dramatic ceremony, no laying on
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: of hands. Jesus didn't even see the boy. He just
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: spoke a few words from Afar and that was enough.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: The passage says the man took Jesus at his word
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and departed. This official showed remarkable faith. With nothing more
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: than jesus promise, he turned and began the long journey
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: home without insisting Jesus come along. The Next day, while
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: he was still on his way, his servants met him
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: with wonderful news, your son is alive. Naturally, he asked
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: them what time the boy had begun to recover. They answered, yesterday,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: at one in the afternoon, the fever left him. The
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: father realized that this was the exact moment when Jesus
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: had said, your son will live. It wasn't a coincidence,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: it was a miracle. The Bible concludes by saying that
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: he and his whole household believed. Not just the official,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: but his entire family and staff became followers of Jesus
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: because of this powerful miracle. The third Miracle of Jesus
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: is found in Luke chapter five, verses one to eleven.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: This miracle not only revealed Jesus's power over nature, but
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: also led a few ordinary men to make the radical
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: decision to leave everything behind and follow him. Jesus was
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, also known as the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Sea of Galilee. So many people crowded around him to
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: hear the word of God that he needed more space.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: He saw at the water's edge two boats left there
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: by fishermen who were washing their nets. These fishermen had
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: worked all night without success, and were now cleaning their
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: nets to store them until the next outing, Jesus got
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: also called Peter, and asked him to push out a
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: people from the boat. He used the boat as a
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: natural platform, and the water helped project his voice to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the crowd on the shore. When he finished speaking, he
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: said to Simon, put out into deep water and let
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: down the nets for a catch. This request challenged all
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: of Peter's professional experience as a fisherman. He knew that
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the best time to fish was during the night, not
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: in the middle of the day. On top of that,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: deep waters weren't the ideal spot for the type of
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: fish they usually caught. Simon answered, sincerely, Master, we've worked
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because when
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you say so, I will let down the nets. Even
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: though he doubted the outcome, Peter trusted jesus instruction. What
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: happened next was simply unbelievable, even for seasoned fishermen. When
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: they had done so, they caught such a large number
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: of fish that their nets began to break. The fish
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: appeared all at once, and in such abundance that the
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: nets designed to handle a solid load, began to tear
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: under the weight. So they signaled their partners in the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: other boat to come and help them, and they came
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: The catch was so extraordinary they needed two boats, and
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: even then both were so overloaded that they started to sink.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at jesus knees
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and said, go away from me, Lord, I am a
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: sinful man. The sheer magnitude of the miracle made Peter
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: realize he was in the presence of someone extraordinary, someone
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: with divine power. His natural reaction was to feel his
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: own unworthiness in light of such greatness. For he and
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: they had taken, and so were James and John, the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: sons of Zebede, Simon's partners, all of them professional fishermen
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: who knew the lake like the back of their hands,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: were absolutely stunned. They knew what had just happened could
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: not be explained by any natural means. Then Jesus said
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: to Simon, don't be afraid. From now on you will
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: fish for people. With those words, Jesus announced a complete
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: transformation in Peter's life. From fishing for fish, he would
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: become a fisher of people, bringing them into the Kingdom
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: of God. The fourth miracle of Jesus is recorded in
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Mark one twenty one twenty eight and Luke four thirty
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: three thirty seven. This miracle revealed Jesus authority over evil
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: spiritual forces, and it took place in a place of
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: worship during a religious service. They went to Capernium, and
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: began to teach. Capernium was a major town in Galilee,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: located near the sea, and it would later become a
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: central base for jesus ministry. It was the Sabbath, the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Jewish day of rest and worship, and Jesus took part
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: in the synagogue service. The people were amazed at his
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: teaching because he taught them as one who had authority,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: not as the teachers of the law. Unlike the religious
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: teachers of the time, Jesus didn't cite other rabbis as
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: sources of authority. He spoke with his own authority, offering
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: fresh insight into the scriptures. Suddenly, something disturbing occurred Just then,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: a man in their synagogue, who was possessed by an
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: impure spirit, cried out, what do you want with us,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: know who you are, the Holy One of God. The
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: presence of Jesus instantly exposed the presence of evil. The
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: impure spirit, through the possessed man, identified Jesus not only
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: by name, but also by his divine title, the Holy
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: One of God. The demons recognized Jesus's true identity, even
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: when many people did not. Jesus responded with absolute authority.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Be quiet, come out of him. There was no elaborate ritual,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: no lengthy prayer, no struggle, just a direct and powerful command.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: The result was immediate. The impure spirit shook the man
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: violently and came out of him with a shriek. The
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: people's reaction was one of complete astonishment. The people were
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: all so amazed that they asked each other, what is this?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: A new teaching? And with authority he even gives orders
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: to impure spirits, and they obey him. They had never
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: seen anything like it. The exorcists of the time relied
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: on complex rituals and magical formulas, often without success. Jesus
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: with just a word, cast out the demon instantly. News
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: about him spread quickly over the whole region of Galilee.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: This public miracle, witnessed by many in a religious setting,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: caused jesus fame to spread rapidly. People from all over
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: the region began to seek him out, bringing their sick
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and afflicted. The fifth miracle of Jesus is described in
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Matthew eight fourteen to fifteen, Mark one twenty nine to
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: thirty one, and Luke four thirty eight to thirty nine.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: This miracle shows Jesus healing someone in a family setting,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: right after the dramatic scene in the synagogue. As soon
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: as they left the synagogue, they went with James and
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: John to the home of Simon and Andrew. After the
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: synagogue Sir, where Jesus had cast out the demon, he
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: went with his disciples to Peter's home, likely for a
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Sabbath meal. It seems Peter was married and his mother
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: in law lived with them. Simon's mother in law was
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: about her. The family was clearly concerned about her condition
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: at that time, without antibiotics or modern medicine, a high
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: fever could be extremely dangerous, even fatal. It was serious
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: enough that they brought it to jesus attention as soon
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: as he arrived. Jesus didn't hesitate, so he went to her,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: took her hand, and helped her up. The fever left
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: her and she began to wait on them. In Mark's account,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: the text simply says he helped her up. Luke, being
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: a physician, adds more detail. He bent over her and
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: rebuked the fever. The miracle was immediate and complete. There
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: was no recovery period, as is normally expected even when
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: a fever breaks with medicine. The woman was so thoroughly
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: healed that she got up and started serving the guests.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: This shows that Jesus didn't just remove the symptoms, he
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: completely restored her strength and vitality. Though this fifth miracle
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: may seem less dramatic than the previous ones, it reveals
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: several important things about Jesus. He cared about ordinary, everyday problems,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: not just dramatic situations. He had power over physical illnesses,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: not just demons. He healed in different ways, sometimes with words,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: sometimes with touch. His healings were always complete and instantaneous.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: The news of this healing, along with the exorcism in
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the synagogue, quickly spread throughout the town. Mark reports that
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: at sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: and demon possessed. The whole town gathered at the door,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: and he healed many who had various diseases. Jesus ministry
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: was gaining momentum, and the crowds were beginning to seek
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: him out for healing and deliverance. The sixth Miracle of
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Jesus is recorded in Matthew eight one four, Mark one
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: forty forty five, and Luke five twelve to sixteen. This
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: miracle broke through one of the strongest social and religious
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: barriers of that time, contact with a leper. A man
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: with leprosy came to Jesus, and, falling on his knees,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: begged him, if you are willing, you can make me clean.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Leprosy was one of the most feared diseases in the
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: ancient world. The term could refer to a range of
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: skin diseases, including what we now know as Hanson's disease.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Lepers were considered unclean, both religiously and socially. They were
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: forced to live in isolation outside the cities, far from
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: their families and friends. When someone approached, they had to
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: shout unclean, unclean, to warn others to keep their distance.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: But this man, desperate for help, risked everything and came
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: near to Jesus. Notice his request, If you are willing,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: you can make me clean. He didn't question jesus power,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: only his willingness. Would he really want to touch someone
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: as repulsive and impure as me, he must have wondered.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Jesus' response was both shocking and revolutionary. Filled with compassion,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. I
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: am willing. He said it be clean. Mark specifically mentions
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: that Jesus was moved with compassion. Jesus didn't feel revulsion
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: or fear, but deep compassion for this suffering man. What
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: shocked the onlookers even more was that Jesus touched the leper.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: No one touched lepers. It went against all religious laws
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: and social norms. Touching a leper made you ritually unclean,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: But Jesus flipped the logic. Instead of the leper's touch
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: defiling Jesus, jesus touch made the leper clean Immediately. The
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: leprosy left him and he was cleansed. The healing was
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: immediate and total damaged skin was restored, wounds closed up,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: deformities reversed. One moment the man was covered with leprosy,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: the next he was completely whole. Jesus then instructed him,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: see that you don't tell this to anyone, but go
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Moses commanded for your cleansing as a testimony to them.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Jesus respected the law of Moses, which required a healed
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: leper to be examined by a priest and to offer
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: specific sacrifices before being declared officially clean and reintegrated into society. However,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the man went out and began to talk freely, spreading
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: a town openly, but stayed outside in lonely places. Yet
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: the people still came to him from everywhere. The healing
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: was so extraordinary that the man couldn't keep it to himself.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: His joy and gratitude were simply too overwhelming. As a result,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the crowds grew even larger, so much so that Jesus
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: could no longer go into towns without being mobbed by
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: people seeking healing. Jesus returned to Capernaum after preaching throughout
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: the towns of Galilee. In Matthew nine, Mark two and
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Luke five we find the remarkable story of jesus seventh miracle.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: When people heard that Jesus was home, so many gathered
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: that there was no room left, not even at the door.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: The house was completely packed. Mark two to two says
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: they gathered in such large numbers that there was no
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: room left, not even outside the door, and he preached
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the word to them. Among them the crowd were pharisees
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: and teachers of the law who had come from every
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: village in Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. They were there watching
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Jesus closely. Luke to five seventeen notes that the power
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: While Jesus was teaching, four men arrived carrying a paralyzed
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: man on a mat. This man couldn't walk, he was
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: completely dependent on others. His friends were determined to get
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: him to Jesus, believing he could be healed. But there
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: was a problem. The house was so full they couldn't
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: get through the door. Did they give up? Not at all,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Mark Twu Pifour tells us. Since they could not get
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: and then lowered the mat the man was lying on.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Imagine the scene. They climbed up onto the flat roof
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: of the house, dug through the thatch and mud, and
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: lowered their friend right in front of Jesus. Roofs back
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: then were made of wooden beams covered with branches and clay.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: It wasn't easy to break through, but these men were determined.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: When Jesus saw their faith, not just the paralyzed man's,
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: but also his friend's bold and tireless faith, he did
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: something unexpected. Instead of healing the man right away, he said, son,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: your sins are forgiven. As the teachers of the law
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: were outraged. Why does this fellow talk like that. He's
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: blaspheming Who can forgive sins? But God alone? Jesus knew
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: exactly what they were thinking. Mark two eight nine says
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: why are you thinking these things? Which is easier to
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: say to this paralyzed man, your sins are forgiven, or
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: to say, get up, take your man at and walk.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: Then Jesus did what no one expected. He said, but
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: I want you to know that the son of Man
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: has authority on earth to forgive sins. So he turned
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: to the paralyzed man and said, I tell you, get up,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: take your mat and go home. Immediately the man was healed.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: He stood up, picked up his mat, and walked out
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: in front of everyone. The man, who moments earlier couldn't
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: move a finger, was now walking perfectly. Mark two twelve
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: records the crowd's reaction. He got up, took his mat,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: and walked out in full view of them. All this
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: amazed everyone, and they praised God, saying we have never
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: seen anything like this. This miracle showed that Jesus had
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: authority not just to heal bodies, but also to forgive sins,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: something only God could do. He used the visible physical
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: healing as proof of his invisible spiritual authority. Jesus eighth
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: miracle is accorded in Matthew chapter eight and Luke chapter seven.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: This story reveals Jesus power to heal from a distance,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: and his amazement at the faith of a foreigner. After
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: Jesus had finished speaking to the people in Capernaum, a
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Roman centurion came to him for help. Centurions were Roman
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: army officers in charge of a hundred soldiers. Jews typically
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: disliked the Romans, as they were foreign occupiers ruling their land,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: but this centurion was different. Luke seven four to five
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: tells Us that the Jewish leaders spoke well of him.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: When they came to Jesus. They pleaded earnestly with him.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: This man deserves to have you do this because he
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: loves our nation and has built our synagogue. The centurion
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: had a servant whom he deeply valued, but the servant
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: was gravely ill near death. Having heard of Jesus and
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: his miracles, he sent some Jewish elders to ask Jesus
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: to come and heal the servant. Jesus went with them,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: but as he neared the house, the centurion sent friends
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: to deliver a message. Lord, don't trouble yourself, for I
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: do not deserve to have you come under my roof.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: That is why I did not even consider myself worthy
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: to come to you, but say the I the word,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: and my servant will be healed. What an incredible declaration,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: the centurion continued, For I myself am a man under authority,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: with soldiers under me. I tell this one go and
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: he goes, and that one come and he comes. I
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: say to my servant, do this, and he does it.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: The centurion completely understood how authority works. As a military officer,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: his commands were obeyed. Likewise, he recognized that Jesus had
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: authority over illness and could simply command it to leave
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: without needing to be physically present. Luke seven nine says
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: when Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: turning to the crowd following him, he said, I tell you,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: I have not found such great faith even in Israel.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Jesus was amazed a Roman soldier, a gentile, had shown
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: more faith than the people of Israel themselves. Jesus didn't
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: need to enter the centurion's house. His word alone was enough,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: and so it happened. Matthew eight thirteen records Then Jesus
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: said to the centurion, go let it be done just
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: as you believed it would, and his servant was healed.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: At that moment. When the messengers returned to the centurion's home,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: they found the servant completely healed. Jesus had performed a
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: miracle at a distance without even seeing the sick servant,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: simply because of the centurion's great faith. Jesus ninth miracle
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: is described only in Luke seven eleven to seventeen. It
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: is one of his most touching miracles, demonstrating his power
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: even over death. Soon afterward, Jesus went to a town
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: called Naien, and his disciples and a large crowd went
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: along with him. Naien was a small town about forty
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: kilometers twenty five miles from Capernaum. Jesus and his followers
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: had traveled a good distance to get there. Luke seven
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: twelve says as he approached the town gate, a dead
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: person was being carried out, the only son of his mother,
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: and she was a widow, and a large crowd from
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: the town was with her. It was a meeting of
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: two processions, one following Jesus full of life and hope,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: the other following a corpse full of sorrow and mourning.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: The woman's situation was heart breaking. She had already lost
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: her husband and now her only son had died in
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: that society. Without a husband or son to support her,
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: her future looked bleak. She would likely face poverty with
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: no one to care for her in old age. When
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: the Lord saw her, his heart went out to her,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: and he said, don't cry. Jesus was moved by her pain.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: He felt her sorrow deeply. Then he went up and
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: touched the bier they were carrying him on, and the
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: bearers stood still. What Jesus did was shocking. Touching a
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: beer a kind of stretcher for carrying the dead, made
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: a person ritually unclean. According to Jewish law, Interrupting a
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: funeral procession was bold and unexpected. Then Jesus said, young man,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: I say to you, get up. He spoke directly to
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: the dead man, as if he could hear, and he did.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: The dead man sat up and began to talk, and
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Jesus gave him back to his mother. Imagine the scene.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: A young man, moments from burial, suddenly sits up and
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: starts speaking, and Jesus tenderly hands him back to his mother,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: turning her grief into unspeakable joy. The crowd reacted with
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: awe and praise. Luke seven, sixteen seventeen says, They were
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: all filled with awe and praised God. A great prophet
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: has appeared among us. They said, God has come to
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: help his people. This news about Jesus spread throughout Judea
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: and the surrounding country. This miracle was different from the others.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Jesus wasn't asked to help, no one approached him. He
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: simply encountered a moment of deep need and acted out
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: of compassion, and for the first time he raised someone
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: from the dead, demonstrating his complete authority over death. Jesus
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: tenth miracle is recorded in Matthew twelve, Mark three, and
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Luke six. It shows Jesus challenging rigid interpretations of the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: law in order to bring healing and restoration. On another Sabbath,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: he went into the synagogue and was teaching, and a
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: man was there whose right hand was shriveled. The Sabbath
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: was the Jewish sacred day of rest. According to the
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: religious leader's interpretations, doing any kind of work, including healing,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: was forbidden on the Sabbath unless it was a matter
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: of life and death. The pharisees and the teachers of
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the law were closely watching Jesus, hoping he would do
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: something they could use against him. Luke six seven says
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: the pharisees and the teachers of the law were looking
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: closely to see if he would heal on the sabbath.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Jesus knew exactly what they were thinking, so he said
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: to the man with the shriveled hand, stand up and
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: come here to the front. The man stood up and
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: faced everyone. Then Jesus asked the pharisees a crucial question,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: which is lawful on the sabbath, to do good or
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: to do evil? To save life or to destroy it.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: In Mark three to four we read that they remained silent.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: They had no hone answer to such a direct question.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Then Jesus looked around at them all and said, to
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: the man, stretch out your hand. He stretched it out,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: and his hand was completely restored. Just imagine the scene,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: a man trying to stretch out a hand he likely
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: hadn't been able to move in years, and right there
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: in front of everyone, it became completely normal. His fingers extended,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: the muscles regained strength, the skin returned to its natural color.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: It was an instant, complete transformation. The reaction of the
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: Pharisees and teachers of the law was astonishing. Instead of
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: rejoicing over the man's healing, they became furious. Luke six' eleven,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: says but they were furious and began to discuss with
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: one another what they might do To Jesus mark three
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: to six is even more. Direct then The pharisees went
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: out and began to plot with The herodians how they
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: might Kill. Jesus The herodians were a political group that
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Supported king. Herod, normally The pharisees and The herodians were,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: enemies but their hatred For jesus united. Them this miracle
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: was a turning point in jesus. Ministry by healing on The,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: sabbath he showed that the law was made to benefit,
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: people not to prevent compassion and. Healing he valued the
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: restoration of a person over rigid rules that had lost
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: their original. Purpose the eleventh miracle Of jesus is recorded
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: In matthew chapter, Eight mark chapter, four And luke chapter.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Eight this remarkable story Reveals jesus power over the forces of.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Nature after a long day of teaching crowds by The
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: sea Of, Galilee jesus said to his, disciples let's cross
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: to the other side of the. Lake he was tired
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: and wanted some time away from the, crowds so they
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: left the crowd and just as he was in the,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: boat they Took jesus acce cross the. Lake other boats
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: went with. Them The sea Of, galilee actually a large freshwater,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: lake is known for its sudden and violent storms caused
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: by winds that rushed down from the surrounding, mountains and sure,
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: enough during the, crossing that's exactly what. Happened mark four
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: thirty seven describes. IT a furious squall came up and
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: the waves broke over the, boat so that it was nearly.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: Swamped the situation was. Dire even The, disciples some of
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: whom were experienced, fishermen were. Terrified the boat was almost
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: sinking under the force of the waves crashing into. It
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: and where Was jesus during all? This jesus was in the,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: stern sleeping on a. Cushion he was so exhausted from
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: the intense work of ministering to the crowds that he
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: slept deeply even through a violent. Storm the, disciples in,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: desperation woke him. Up, teacher don't you care if we,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: drown they. Cried In matthew's, account they, Say, lord save,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Us we're going to. Drown they couldn't understand How jesus
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: could be sleeping while everyone was in. Danger he got,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: up rebuked the wind and said to the waves, quiet be.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Still then the wind died down and it was completely.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: Calm jesus didn't just calm the. Wind he spoke directly
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: to the, elements as if they were conscious beings who
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: could obey his, commands and they. Did the change was
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: immediate and, dramatic from a violent storm to perfect calm
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: in a matter of. Seconds it wasn't, gradual it was.
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Instant after calming the, Storm jesus turned to his disciples and,
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: asked why are you so? Afraid do you still have no?
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Faith the disciples were amazed and asked each, other who is?
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: This even the wind and the waves obey. Him even
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: after Seeing jesus heal diseases and cast out, demons they
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: still had fully understood who he. Was this miracle revealed
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: a new level of, authority power over nature. Itself to The,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: jews Only god had the power to control the sea
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: and the. Storms psalm eighty nine nine says you rule
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: over the surging. Sea when its waves mount, up you still.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: Them by calming the, Storm jesus demonstrated that he held
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: the same. Power the scriptures a tribute To. God The
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Twelfth miracle is one of the most dramatic stories in jesus.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Ministry it's recorded In matthew chapter, Eight mark chapter, five
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: And luke chapter. Eight after calming the, Storm jesus and
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: his disciples arrived in the region of The, gaderens also
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: known as The, jerresnes on the opposite shore of The
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: sea Of. Galilee this Was gentile, territory Not. Jewish as
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: soon As jesus stepped, ashore a man possessed by evil
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: spirits came to meet. Him this man condition was truly.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Horrifying mark five two five describes When jesus got out
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: of the, boat a man with an impure spirit came
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: from the tombs to meet. Him this man lived in the,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: tombs and no one could bind him any, more not
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: even with a, chain for he had often been chained
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: hand and. Foot but he tore the chains apart and
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: broke the irons on his. Feet no one was strong
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: enough to subdue. Him night and day among the tombs
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: and in the, hills he would cry out and cut
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: himself with. Stones imagine the scene a man living among, tombs, naked,
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: screaming injuring himself with supernatural strength that could break iron.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: Chains he was living in complete, misery cut off from
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: all human. Society when he Saw jesus from a, distance
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: he ran and fell on his knees before. Him in
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: a loud, voice he, shouted what do you want with, Me,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: jesus son of the Most High, god In god's, name
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: don't torture. Me even the demons recognized Who jesus really.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Was jesus asked, him what is your? Name my name Is,
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: legion he, replied for we are. MANY A roman legion
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: was made up of about six thousand. Soldiers this indicated
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: that a multitude of demons were tormenting that. Man the
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: demons Begged jesus not to send them out of that. Region,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: nearby a large herd of pigs was grazing on the.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: Hillside the demons pleaded With, jesus send us into the
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: pigs so we may enter. Them jesus gave them, permission
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: and the impure spirits came out of the man and
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: entered the. Pigs the. Herd about two thousand pigs rushed
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: down the steep, bank plunged into the, lake and. Drowned
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: those tending the pigs ran off and reported what had.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Happened in the town and. Countryside people came out to
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: see for. Themselves when they Reached, jesus they saw the
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: man who had been possessed by the legion sitting, there
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: dressed in in his right, mind and they were. Afraid
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: the transformation was complete and. Astonishing the man who had
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: once been, naked out of, control violent and living among the,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: dead was now, calm clothed and clear, minded sitting at jesus.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Feet a total. Transformation but the people of that region
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: were more concerned about the loss of the pigs than
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: the healing of the. Man they began to plead With
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: jesus to leave their. Territory As jesus was getting into the,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: boat the man who had been possessed begged to go with,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: him But jesus did not let. Him, instead he, said
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: go home to your family and tell them how much
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: The lord has done for, you and how he has
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: had mercy on. You luke eight thirty nine. Ads That jesus,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: said return home and tell how Much god has done for.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: You so the man went away and began to tell
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: throughout the town how Much jesus had done for, him
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: and everyone was. Amazed this miracle Showed jesus absolute power
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: over evil, forces even when they were. Many it also
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: revealed his desire to bring deliverance to people outside The jewish,
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: community people considered unclean by religious. Standards jesus was always
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: surrounded by people in need of his. Help some were
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: powerful and, influential others were poor and forgotten by. Society
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: The Thirteenth miracle shows How jesus treated everyone with equal
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: care and. Attention In matthew chapter, Nine mark chapter, five
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: And luke chapter, eight we find the story of a
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: woman who had been suffering from bleeding for twelve. Years
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: mark five twenty, five twenty six describes her pain, clearly
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: and a woman was there who had been subject to
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: bleeding for twelve. Years she had suffered a great deal
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: under the care of many doctors and had spent all she.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Had yet instead of getting, better she grew worse twelve.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: Years just imagine how long that. Is during all that,
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: time she couldn't live a normal. Life according To jewish,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: law a woman with bleeding was considered. Unclean she wasn't
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: allowed to touch anyone or be. Touched she couldn't worship
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: at the. Temple anything she touched became. Unclean she lived
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: in complete social, isolation and that wasn't. All The bible.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Says she had spent all her money on, doctors but
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: instead of improving her condition got. Worse she was left, hopeless,
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: penniless and without prospects for. Healing then she heard About.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Jesus word of his miracles was spreading Everywhere luke eight
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: forty three to forty four, says and a woman who
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: had been subject to bleeding for twelve years but no
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: one could heal her came up behind him and touched
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: the edge of his, cloak and immediately her bleeding. Stopped
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: look how she approached quietly from, behind hidden in the.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Crowd she didn't want to be. Noticed why because legally
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: she shouldn't have been. There her touch would make others ritually,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: unclean and after so many years of, rejection she probably
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: felt deeply. Ashamed she didn't even Ask jesus to touch
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: her or speak to. Her her thought, was IF i
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: just touch his, Clothes i'll be. Healed what incredible. Faith
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: she believed that even the slightest contact With jesus would be,
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: enough and it was the moment her fingers touched the
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: edge of his, cloak something extraordinary. Happened mark five point
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: twenty nine Says immediately her bleeding, stopped and she felt
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: in her body that she was freed from her. Suffering
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: but the story doesn't end. There jesus knew that someone
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: had touched him in a different. Way it wasn't just
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: a bump in the. Crowd Mark i've thirty. Records at
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Once jesus realized that power had gone out from. Him
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: he turned around in the crowd and, asked who touched my?
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: Clothes the disciples found the question, odd after, all the
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: crowd was pressing in on every. Side luke eight forty
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: five shows their. Reaction peter, Said, master the people are
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: crowding and pressing against. You But jesus, insisted some one touched.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: ME i know that power has gone out from. Me
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: he knew healing power had flowed from, him and he
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: wanted to find the person who had received. It realizing
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: she couldn't stay, hidden the woman came trembling and fell
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: At jesus's feet in front of every. One she explained
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: why she had touched him and how she had been instantly.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Healed that must have been a terrifying moment for her
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: to reveal all of that in, public But jesus's response was.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Beautiful mark five thirty four says he said to her,
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: daughter your faith has healed. You go in peace and
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: be freed from your. Suffering jesus didn't scold her for
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: touching him or being in the crowd while considered. Unclean,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: instead he called her daughter a word full of kindness and.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Acceptance he confirmed publicly that she was healed and sent
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: her away in peace after twelve long years of isolation and.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: Shame this woman wasn't just healed, physically she was also restored.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: Socially jesus made a point of making her healing public
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: so that everyone would know she was now clean and
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: could return to a normal life in the. Community the
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: fourteenth miracle is directly connected to the previous, one as
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: it happened on the same. Occasion this story is recorded
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: In matthew chapter, Nine mark chapter, five And luke chapter.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Eight While jesus was still speaking with the woman who
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: had been healed from her, bleeding something urgent, happened And

  Speaker 1: mark five twenty one twenty two, says When jesus had
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: again crossed over by boat to the other side of the,
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: lake a large crowd gathered around him while he was
• 41:11

  Speaker 1: Feet jyrus was an important figure in the. Community as
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: a synagogue, leader he was responsible for organizing religious services
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: and overseeing the. Activities he was respected and likely quite,
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: wealthy but at that, moment neither his position nor his
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: wealth could solve his most serious. Problem mark five twenty three.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: Continues he pleaded earnestly with, him my little daughter is.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Dying please come and put your hands on her so
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: that she will be healed and. Live his little, girl
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: just twelve years, old was. Dying jesus was moved by
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: the desperate plea of this father and began to go with.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: Him but as we've, seen on the way, there the
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: miracle of the woman with the issue of blood took,
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: place causing a. Delay While jesus was still speaking with the,
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: woman some people came From gyrus's house with devastating. News

• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Leader your daughter is, dead they, said why bother the teacher?
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: Anymore what a terrible moment For. Gyros his last hope seemed.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Lost if Only jesus had arrived, earlier maybe he could
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: have healed. Her but now it was too, late or
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: was It overhearing what they, Said jesus told, him don't be,
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: afraid just. Believe in the middle of that, Despair jesus offered.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: Hope he Asked jyros to keep believing even when everything seemed.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: Lost jesus continued on To jyrus's, house but he didn't
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: let anyone follow him Except, Peter, james And. John when they,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: arrived they encountered a typical scene of mourning for that,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: culture people weeping loudly and. Wailing mark five thirty eight
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: to thirty nine describes when they came to the home
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: of the synagogue, Leader jesus saw a commotion with people
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: crying and wailing. Loudly he went in and said to,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: them why all this commotion and. Wailing the child is
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: not dead but. Asleep the people laughed at. Him they
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: knew the girl was truly, dead not just, sleeping But
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: jesus was speaking. Metaphorically for, him death wasn't the, end
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: but a temporary sleep from which he could wake her.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Up jesus sent everyone out and took only the girl's
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: parents and his three disciples into the room where she.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Lay mark five forty one forty two tells what happened.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Next he took her by the hand and said to,
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: her talitha, coomb which means little, GIRL i say to,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: you get. Up, immediately the girl stood up and began
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: to walk. Around she was twelve years. Old at this
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: they were completely. Astonished talitha. Coomb these words were spoken In,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: aramaic the everyday Language jesus. Used mark preserves both the
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: original words and their, translation capturing the moment exactly as it.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: Happened the miracle was instant and. Complete the girl didn't
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: just come back to. Life she stood up and, walked
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: showing that her restoration was. Perfect she wasn't weak or,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: dazed but fully. Well Then jesus gave a practical. Instruction
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: he told them to give her something to. Eat this
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: detail shows both jesus care for basic needs and further
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: confirms that the girl was truly alive and, well able
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: to eat and. Drink jesus also instructed the parents not
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: to tell tell anyone what had. Happened most, likely he
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: didn't want to attract even more attention as a miracle,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: worker since his mission was far deeper than just performing
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: signs and. Wonders the fifteenth miracle is recorded In matthew
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: nine twenty seven hundred and thirty. One this story shows
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: How jesus responded to persistent. Faith As jesus went on from,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: there two blind men followed, him calling, out have mercy
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: on a son Of. David these men were physically, blind
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: but they had spiritual. Clarity they Called jesus son Of,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: david a messianic. Title even though they couldn't see with their,
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: eyes they recognized Who jesus truly, was the Promised. Messiah
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: the two men kept Following, jesus continuing to cry out for.
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: Help they didn't give up, easily even when it seemed
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Like jesus wasn't responding right. Away their persistence showed determination and.
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: Faith when he had gone in, doors the blind men
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: came to, him and he asked, them do you believe
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: THAT i am able to do. This, Yes, lord they.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Replied jesus didn't heal them. Immediately, first he tested their
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: faith with a direct. Question their answer was simple and
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: full of. Confidence, Yes. Lord they truly believed That jesus
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: had the power to restore their. Sight then he touched
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: their eyes and, said according to your, faith let it
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: be done to, you and their sight was. Restored jesus
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: directly connected their healing to their. Faith he didn't use
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: mud or asked them to wash somewhere as in other.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Healings he simply touched their eyes and declared that they
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: would receive what they believed, for and their eyes were,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: opened just like. That in a, moment these men who
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: had lived in darkness began to. See imagine the impact
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: of that. Moment seeing colors shapes faith is perhaps for
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: the first. Time the joy must have been. Overwhelming jesus
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: then gave them a specific. Instruction jesus warned them, sternly
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: see that no one knows about. This why didn't he
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: want the news to? Spread likely because he didn't want
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: to be known merely as a miracle. Worker his mission
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: was much. Deeper, also the more his fame, spread the
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: more difficult his ministry became due to the crowds and
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: the attention of the, Authorities but the joy of the
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: formerly blind men was too much to. Contain but they
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: went out and spread the news about him all over that.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Region they just couldn't keep their miraculous healing to. Themselves
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: they told everyone What jesus had done for, them spreading
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: his fame throughout the. Land the sixteenth miracle is recorded
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: In matthew nine thirty two thirty. Three it's a brief
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: but powerful story that highlights the contrast between the common
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: people's response and the religious leader's reaction to jesus. Miracles
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: while they were going, out a man who was demon
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: possessed and could not talk was brought To. Jesus right
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: after the two formerly blind men, left another case was
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: brought To, jesus a man who couldn't speak due to demonic.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: Possession in other possession stories we've, seen the symptoms included,
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: seizures violent, behavior or, screaming but this case was. Different
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: the main symptom was the inability to. Speak the man was,
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: mute not due to a physical, cause but a spiritual.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: UNDAR a demon was preventing him from, speaking and when
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: the demon was driven. Out the mute man, spoke and
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: the crowd was amazed and, said nothing like this has
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: ever been seen In. Israel jesus didn't, Hesitate he cast
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: out the, demon and the man immediately began to. Speak
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: there was no recovery, period no. Therapy the moment the demon,
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: left he fully regained his ability to. Speak the crowd's
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: reaction was one of amazement and wonder nothing like this
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: has ever been seen In. Israel that exclamation shows that
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: even in a country with a rich history of prophets and,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: miracles What jesus was doing was. Unprecedented the, quantity the,
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: variety and the completeness of his healings and deliverances were.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: Extraordinary but not everyone responded with. Admiration matthew nine thirty four,
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: Continues but The pharisees said he drives out demons by
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: The prince Of. Demons instead of Acknowledging god's power at
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: work Through, jesus the religious leaders attributed his miracles To.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: Satan it was a ridiculous and contradictory. Accusation why would
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: The prince of demons cast out his own. Demons this
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: brief story highlights Both jesus' authority over evil spiritual, forces
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: and the contrast between the simple faith of the common
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: people and the blind resistance of the religious. Leaders ordinary
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: people saw the miracles and, marveled while The, pharisees trapped
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: by their prejudice and, jealousy clung to any, explanation no
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: matter how, absurd to Deny jesus's divine. Power the seventeenth
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: miracle is one Of jesus's most well known and one
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: of the few recorded in all Four Gospels matthew chapter,
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: Fourteen mark chapter, Six luke chapter, nine And john chapter.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Six jesus was looking for a quiet place to rest
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: with his disciples after hearing about the death Of john
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: The Baptist mark six thirty one thirty two, says and
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: he said to, them come with me by yourselves to
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: a quiet place and get some. Rest for many people
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: were coming and, going and they did not even have
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: a chance to. Eat so they went away by boat
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: to a solitary. Place but the crowds figured out where
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: they were going and followed on. Foot When jesus landed
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: and saw the large, crowd he wasn't annoyed by the
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: interruption to his. Rest quite the Opposite mark six thirty
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: four records When jesus landed and saw a large, crowd
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: he had compassion on them because they were like sheep
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: without a, shepherd so he began teaching them many. Things
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: jesus spent the whole day teaching and healing the. Sick by,
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: evening the disciples began to. Worry they were in a remote,
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: place far from any, town and all those people would
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: need something to. Eat the disciples offered a practical, solution
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: send the crowds away so they can go to the
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: villages and buy themselves some. Food it made sense people
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: could reach nearby towns before dark and find something to.
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: Eat But jesus had a different. Plan they do not
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: need to go. Away you give them something to. Eat
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: the disciples were. Stunned how could they possibly feed so many.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: People john six seven Records philip's, response it would take
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: more than half a year's wages to buy enough bread
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: for each one to have a. BITE a denarius was
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: about a day's, wage so two hundred dinari i meant
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: nearly a whole year's. Salary Then jesus, asked how many
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: loaves do you? Have go and. See after, Checking andrew,
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: replied here is a boy with five small barley loaves
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: and two small, Fish but how far will they go
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: among so? Many the loaves were likely flat and, small
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: and the fish probably no bigger than. Sardines just a humble,
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: lunch clearly not enough for a. Crowd jesus then gave specific,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: instructions have the people sit. Down john notes that there
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: was plenty of, grass making it comfortable to. Sit mark
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: adds an interesting. Detail jesus told them to sit in
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: groups of fifty and one. Hundred this created order and
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: made distributing the food much. Easier jesus took the five
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: loaves and two, fish looked up To, heaven gave, thanks
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: broke the loaves and began handing them to the disciples
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: to distribute to the. Crowd he did the same with the.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: Fish the miracle didn't happen all at. Once it seems
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: the food multiplied As jesus broke. It the disciples would
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: take what he handed, them give it, out return and
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: find more. Waiting it just kept, coming and the Result matthew,
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: fourteen twenty twenty one records they all ate and were,
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: satisfied and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: pieces that were left. Over the number of those who
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: ate was about five thousand men besides women and. Children
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: everyone ate until they were. Full this wasn't a, snack
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: it was a full meal that left no one. Hungry
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: even more incredible was the amount of, leftovers twelve of full,
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: baskets more than the food they had to begin. With
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: and the crowd was, massive around five thousand men plus
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: women and. Children including, everyone the total could easily have
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: exceeded ten thousand. People the Eighteenth miracle is recorded In matthew,
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: Fourteen mark, six And john. Six this extraordinary event took
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: place right after the feeding of the five. Thousand after
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: feeding the, Crowd jesus insisted his disciples get into the
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: boat and go ahead of him to the other side
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: of the sea while he dismissed the. Crowd matthew in
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: fourteen twenty two twenty three, says Immediately jesus made the
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: him to the other side while he dismissed the. Crowd
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: after he had dismissed, them he went up on a
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: mountain side by himself to. Pray later that, night he
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: was there. Alone jesus wanted time alone to. Pray he
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: had just received news Of john The baptist's de death
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: and needed time to process the. Loss, also As John's
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: gospel tells, us he knew the, crowd amazed by the
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: miracle of the loaves and, fish wanted to make him
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: king by. Force jesus needed a moment away from the
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: pressures and expectations of the. People, meanwhile the disciples were
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: struggling at, Sea matthew fourteen twenty four, says and the
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: boat was already a considerable distance from, land buffeted by
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: the waves because the wind was against. It mark ads

• 55:55
  Speaker 1: Night jesus went out to them walking on the. Lake
• 55:58

• 56:01
  Speaker 1: Terrified it's a, ghost they, said and cried out in.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: Fear imagine the scene in the middle of the, darkness
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: with a rough sea all, around the disciples suddenly see
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: a figure walking toward them on the. Water it was
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: so unthinkable they assumed it had to be a. Ghost
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: their fear was completely, understandable But jesus quickly calmed, them take.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: Courage it IS. I don't be. Afraid it was Truly,
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: jesus their, master doing something that defied all laws of,

  Speaker 1: peter ever, impulsive had a unique. Reaction matthew fourteen twenty, eight, Says,
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: lord if it's, You peter, replied tell me to come

  Speaker 1: to you on the. Water that was a bold. Request
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: peter wanted to experience the same miraculous Power jesus was.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: Displaying jesus simply said, calm And peter stepped out of
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: the boat and began to walk on the water Toward.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: Jesus for a few, Moments peter actually walked on the.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: Sea it was a miracle within a. Miracle but then something.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: Changed but when he saw the, wind he was afraid
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: and beginning to. Sink cried, Out, lord save. Me peter
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: took his eyes Off jesus and started focusing on the
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: storm around. Him his fear, grew his faith, weakened and
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: he began to. Sink, Immediately jesus reached out his hand
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: and caught, Him you of little, faith he, said why
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: did you? Doubt jesus didn't Let peter. Drown he reached
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: out at once and pulled him, up saving him from
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: the very Danger peter had asked to. Face when the

  Speaker 1: two of them got into the, boat the wind died.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: Down the disciples were in awe and Worshiped, jesus, saying

  Speaker 1: they were fine starting to grasp Who jesus really. Was
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: john adds an interesting. Detail When jesus got into the,
• 58:06
  Speaker 1: boat they immediately reached the shore where they were. Headed
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: it seems there was a third miracle in this, story
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: a sudden arrival at their. Destination this miracle demonstrated jesus
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: power over the laws of. Nature walking on water was
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: something that In jewish, tradition Only god could. Do As
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: job nine to eight, Says god is the one who
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: of the. Sea by doing, This jesus was revealing his
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: divine nature in a way the disciples could no longer.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: Ignore the Nineteenth miracle Of jesus shows how he began
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: expanding his ministry beyond the borders Of. Israel In matthew
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: fifteen And mark, seven we find the story of how
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: he helped a Non jewish woman and her. Daughter jesus
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: withdrew to the legion of tire And, sidon Says matthew
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: fifteen twenty. One this was a foreign area home to The,
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: canaanites people whom The jews considered impure and. Pagan mark
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: adds That jesus entered a house and did not want
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: anyone to know. It yet he could not keep his presence.
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: Secret even while trying to stay. HIDDEN A canaanite woman
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: heard he was in the region and came looking for.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: Him she was. Desperate her daughter was suffering, terribly possessed
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: by a. Demon she had heard of jesus miracles and
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: believed he could. Help Lord son Of, david have mercy on.
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: Me she, cried my daughter is demon possessed and suffering.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: Terribly she used a messianic Title son Of, david showing
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: that even as a, foreigner she Recognized jesus as The
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: messiah promised To. Israel but Then jesus did something. Surprising
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: matthew fifteen twenty three Says jesus did not answer a.
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: Word he simply ignored. Her this seems odd to, us
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: Knowing jesus as compassionate and, loving but he had a.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: Purpose the disciples were bothered by her persistent cries and
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: said send her, away for she keeps crying out after.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: Us they Wanted jesus to either help her quickly or
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: get rid of. Her jesus then, EXPLAINED i was sent
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: only to the lost sheep Of. Israel he was stating
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: his primary mission first to The, Jews god's chosen. People
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: but the woman didn't give. Up she came, closer knelt before,
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: him and, Pleaded, lord help. Me jesus responded with words
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: that seem. Harsh it is not right to take the
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: children's bread and toss it to the. Dogs at that,
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: Time jews sometimes referred to gentiles as, dogs a derogatory,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: term but Notice jesus used the diminutive form little, dogs
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: softening the. Phrase the woman's reply showed amazing humility and.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: Faith she, said, Yes, lord but even the dogs eat
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: the crumbs that fall from their master's. Table she wasn't
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: offended by the. Comparison, instead she accepted it and used
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: it to strengthen her. Request it was as if she,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: said even If i'm not one of the chosen, people
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: please let me have just a bit of your. Mercy
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: jesus was moved by her. Response, woman you have great,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: Faith he, exclaimed your request is, granted and at that
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: very moment her daughter was. Healed mark seven thirty adds
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: a beautiful detail she went home and found her child
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: lying on the bed and the demon. Gone jesus healed
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: the girl from a, distance without even seeing. Her his
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: power wasn't limited by physical. Presence the Twentieth miracle Of
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: jesus also took in Non jewish. Territory In mark seven
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: thirty one to thirty, seven we read How jesus healed
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: a man who was deaf and could hardly. Speak Then
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: jesus left the vicinity Of tire and went Through, sidoned
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: down to The sea Of galilee and into the region
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: of The. Decapolis mark seven thirty one says The, decapolis
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: which means ten, cities was a region east and southeast
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: of The sea Of, galilee mostly inhabited By. Gentiles jesus
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: was clearly expanding his ministry Beyond israel's. Borders in The,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: decapolis some people Brought jesus a man who had two.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: Challenges he was deaf and could barely. Talk his friends
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: Begged jesus to place his hand on. Him notice the
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: care and concern they showed for their disabled. Friend they
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: personally brought him To jesus seeking. Help jesus did something
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: very intentional in this. Case, first G jesus took him,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: aside away from the. Crowd instead of performing the miracle
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: in front of, Everyone jesus wanted a private moment with this.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 1: Man this reveals his. Sensitivity he didn't treat the man
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: as a public, spectacle but with personal. Dignity, Next jesus
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: used a very physical and visual. Approach he put his
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: fingers into the man's. Ears then he spit and touched
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: the man's. Tongue why Did jesus do? That most likely
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: because the man couldn't hear verbal. Instructions jesus used gestures
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: the man could see and, feel communicating in a way
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: he could. Understand he touched the very parts, affected the
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: ears that couldn't hear and the tongue that couldn't. Speak.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: Properly Then jesus looked up to, heaven gave a deep
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: sigh and said to him ef, fath which means be.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: Opened this deep sigh Shows jesus emotion his compassion for human.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: Suffering efath was spoken In, aramaic the everyday Language jesus,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: spoke And mark preserved the exact Word jesus, used along
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: with its. Translation the result was immediate and. Complete at
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: this the man's ears were, opened his tongue was, loosened
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: and he began to speak. Plainly it wasn't a gradual
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: or partial. Improvement it was an instant and perfect. Healing
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: the man who had never heard sounds could now hear,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: perfectly and not only, that he could speak. Clearly, normally
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: people who've never heard have great difficulty, speaking since they
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 1: can't hear the sounds they are trying to. Imitate But
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: jesus didn't just heal the physical. Organs he gave the
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: man the ability to use them fully right. Away jesus
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: instructed them not to tell, anyone but the more he told,
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: them the more they Spread the. News people were completely
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: amazed and said he has done everything. Well he even
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: makes the deaf hear and the mute speak that. Life
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: last exclamation is especially significant because it echoes a prophecy
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: From isaiah thirty five five to six about The messianic.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: Age then will the eyes of the blind be opened
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: and the ears of the deaf. Unstopped then will the
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: lame leap like a, deer and the mute tongue shout for.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: Joy by fulfilling this, Prophecy jesus was showing that he
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: was the Promised messiah of The Old. Testament the twenty
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: first miracle Of jesus also took place in a predominantly gentile.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: Region In matthew fifteen thirty two to thirty nine And
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: mark eight one, ten we find the story of the
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 1: second multiplication of loaves and fish performed By. Jesus during those,
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: days another large crowd gathered since they had nothing to.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: Eat jesus called his disciples to him and, SAID i
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: have compassion for these. People they have already been with
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: me three days and have nothing to. Eat IF i
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: send them home, hungry they will collapse on the, way
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: because some of them have come a long. Distance note
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: the deep compassion Of. Jesus he cared not only about
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: the spiritual needs of the, people but also their physical.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: Needs these people had spent three days listening to his,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: teachings and their food supplies had run. Out many had
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: come from far away and could faint on their way
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: home if they traveled back. Hungry the disciples, responded where
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed?
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: Them it seems they had forgotten the earlier occasion When
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: jesus fed five thousand, people or maybe they thought that
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: miracle was a one time. Exception jesus, asked how many
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: loaves do you? Have, seven they, replied and a few small.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: Fish compared to the first multiplication five loaves and two
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: fish for five thousand, men they now had slightly more,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: food seven loaves and a few fish for a smaller,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: crowd four thousand. Men jesus followed the same pattern as.
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: Before first he told the crowd to sit down on the.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: Ground then he took the seven loaves and the, fish gave,
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: thanks broke them and gave them to the, disciples and
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: they in turned to the. People they all ate and were. Satisfied,
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: that were left. Over once, again everyone ate until they
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: were full and, again more baskets were left, over seven
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: than the number of original. Loaves matthew fifteen thirty eight
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: says the number of those who ate was four thousand
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: men besides women and. Children the crowd was slightly smaller
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: than in the previous miracle five thousand, men but it
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: was still. Massive after the, Miracle jesus sent the crowd,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: away got into the boat and went to the region
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: Of magadan or Dull, manutha As mark refers to. It
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: the twenty Second miracle Of jesus is recorded In mark
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: eight twenty two twenty. Six it's a unique miracle because
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: it's the only recorded case Where jesus healed someone in two,
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: stages not. Instantly they came To bethsider and some people
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: brought a blind man and Begged jesus to touch. Him
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: bethsada was a town on the northeastern shore of The
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: sea Of. Galilee as in many, cases we see people
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: bringing someone in need To, jesus showing both faith and
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: compassion for the one, Suffering jesus didn't perform the miracle
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: immediately in front of. Everyone, instead he took the blind
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: man by the hand and led him outside the. Village
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: jesus often sought privacy when performing, miracles avoiding turning them
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: into public. Spectacles the healing method was. Unusual when he
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: had spit on the man's eyes and put his hands on,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: Him jesus, asked do you see. Anything jesus used his,
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: saliva thought in ancient times to have healing, properties and
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: the touch of his. Hands then he asked if the
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: man could see, anything as if expecting some progress in the.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: Healing the man's response was, FASCINATING i see. People they
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: looked like trees walking. Around he could, see but his
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: vision was still. Blurry people looked like walking trees to.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: Him Then jesus did something unprecedented in The. Gospels he
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: performed a second stage of. Healing once, More jesus put
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: his hands on the man's. Eyes then his eyes were,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: opened his sight was, restored and he saw everything. Clearly
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: after healing the, Man jesus sent him, home, saying don't
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: even go into the. Village jesus often instructed people not
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: to spread news about his, miracles perhaps to prevent crowds
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: from seeking him only for physical healing rather than for
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: his spiritual. Teaching this miracle is significant for several. Reasons,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: first it is the only recorded instance in Which jesus
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 1: healed someone in two stages rather than. Instantly this shows
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: That jesus was not bound to a specific method or
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: formula for. Healing he adapted his approach to each individual's unique. Needs,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: second some scholars interpret this two step healing as a
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: metaphor for the disciple's gradual understanding of Who jesus truly.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: Was just as the man's vision was restored in, stages
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 1: the disciple's spiritual insight was also developing over. Time, third
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 1: this miracle took place In, bethseda a town Where jesus
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: had already performed many, miracles yet its people as a
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: whole had not repented or believed in. Him in, fact
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: In matthew eleven twenty, One jesus pronounces a woe Against
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: beth's soil for its. Unbelief perhaps this is Why jesus
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 1: took the man out of the town and instructed him
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: not to return. There jesus twenty third miracle is recorded
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: In matthew, Seventeen mark, nine And luke. Nine this extraordinary
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: event is known as the, transfiguration where jesus divine glory
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: was visibly revealed to three of his. Disciples after six,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: Days jesus Took, Peter, james And, john the brother Of,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: james with him and led them up a high mountain by.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 1: Themselves jesus often took these three disciples his inner circle
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: with him for special. Moments on this, occasion he led
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: them to a high mountain traditionally identified as Either Mount
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: tabor Or Mount. Hermon what happened next was. Astonishing there
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 1: he was transfigured before. Them his face shone like the,
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: sun and his clothes became as white as the. Light
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: The greek word for transfigured is, metamorpho thee from which
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: we get the word. Metamorphosis it implies a complete transformation
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: in outward appearance that reveals one's true inner. Nature for
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: a brief, moment jesus divine, glory usually veiled by his,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: humanity became. Visible his face shone like the, sun and
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: his clothes turned dazzling, white whiter than any earthly bleach
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: could make them as marked. Notes but that wasn't. All
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: Suddenly moses And elijah appeared before, them talking With. Jesus
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: moses represented The law And elijah represented the, prophets the
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: two great divisions of The Old. Testament their presence showed
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: That jesus was the fulfillment of both The law and the.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: Prophets luke nine thirty one tells us what they. Discussed
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: they appeared in glorious, splendor speaking about jesus, departure which
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: he was about to bring to fulfillment At. Jerusalem they
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: were talking about his upcoming, death his sacrificial mission for. Humanity,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: peter ever, impulsive wanted to preserve the. Moment, lord it
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 1: is good for us to be. Here if you, WISH
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 1: i will put up three, shelters one for, you one For,
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: moses and one For. Elijah he likely hoped to prolong
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: this glorious, experience not fully grasping its. Purpose while he
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: was still, speaking a bright cloud covered, them and a
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: voice from the cloud, said this is my beloved, son
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: in WHOM i am well. Pleased listened to. Him the
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: radiant cloud was The, chicaina the visible manifestation Of god's,
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: glory just like what appeared in The Old testament tabernacle
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: and In. Temple the voice was that Of god The,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: father Confirming jesus unique identity as his beloved son and
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: commanding the disciples to listen to. Him when the decidsciples heard.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: This they fell face down to the, ground, terrified But
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: jesus came and touched. Them get, Up he, said don't be.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 1: Afraid when they looked, up they saw no one Except.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: Jesus this extraordinary miracle was a brief unveiling of jesus
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: true divine. Nature for just a, moment the veil of
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: humanity was, lifted and the disciples Saw jesus in his heavenly.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 1: Glory this event deeply strengthened their faith and prepared them
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: for the difficult events to, come namely jesus crucifixion and. Death,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: moreover the transfiguration Confirmed jesus identity as the Promised, messiah
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: the fulfillment of both The law and the, prophets and
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: the very son Of. God jesus twenty fourth miracle is
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: recorded In matthew, Seventeen mark, nine And luke. Nine this
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: story takes place shortly after The, transfiguration When jesus and
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: the three disciples came down from them. Mountain when they
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: came to the, crowd a man Approached jesus and knelt before. Him,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: lord have mercy on my. Son he, said he has
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: seizures and is suffering. Greatly he often falls into the
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: fire or into the. WATER i brought him to your,
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: disciples but they could not heal. Him the boy's condition was.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: Severe mark adds more. Detail whenever the spirit seizes, him
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: it throws him to the. Ground he foams at the,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: mouth gnashes his, teeth and becomes. Rigid these symptoms resemble,
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: epilepsy but in this case the root cause was, spiritual
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: an evil. Spirit dutza's father was. Desperate he had brought
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: his son To jesus', disciples but they were unable to heal.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: Him this occurred While, Jesus, Peter, james And john were
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: on the mountain during the. Transfiguration jesus response was, Striking,
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: oh unbelieving and perverse. Generation how long SHALL i stay with?
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: You how long SHALL i put up with? You bring
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: the boy to. Me jesus expressed frustration at the lack
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: of faith among both the disciples and the. Crowd mark
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: records a touching exchange Between jesus and the boy's. Father
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 1: the man, said if you can do, anything take pity
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: on us and help. Us jesus, replied if you, can
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: everything is possible for one who. Believes the father then cried,
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: OUT i do, believe help me overcome my, unbelief a heartfelt,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: confession recognizing both his faith and his. Doubts jesus rebuked
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: the demon and it came out of the boy and
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: he was. Healed at that, Moment Luke. Ads even as
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: the boy was, coming the demon threw him to the
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: ground in a, convulsion But jesus rebuked the impure, spirit
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 1: healed the boy and gave him back to his. Father,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 1: later the disciples Asked jesus privately why they couldn't drive
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: out the. Demon he, replied because you have so little, Faith,
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: Markads this kind can come out only by prayer and.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: Fasting this miracle revealed several important. Truths, first it Demonstrated
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: jesus absolute power over evil, spirits even those that were
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: particularly difficult to cast. Out, second it emphasized the importance
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: of faith in Receiving god's. Power, third it taught that
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: some spiritual challenges required deeper levels of prayer and dependence On.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: God after the, healing people were amazed at the greatness Of.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: God once. Again the miracle showcased both jesus power and,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: compassion and his authority over all forces of. Evil the
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 1: twenty fifth miracle Of jesus shows how he met a
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: practical need in a surprising. Way In, matthew chapter, seventeen
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: verses twenty four to twenty, seven we find the story
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: of a tax that needed to be. Paid When jesus
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: and his disciples arrived In, capernium the collectors of The
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: temple tax Approached peter and, asked does your teacher pay
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: The temple? Tax The temple tax was an annual fee
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: paid by every Adult jewish male to help cover the
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: expenses of The temple In. Jerusalem it was equivalent to
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: about two days wages for a common. Laborer peter quickly, replied,
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 1: yes he. Does he said this without Consulting jesus, first
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: maybe to avoid any awkwardness or potential. Trouble When peter
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: returned to the house where they were, Staying jesus brought
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 1: up the topic Before peter even mentioned. It what do you, think,
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 1: Simon jesus, asked from whom do the kings of the
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: earth collect duty and? Taxes from their own? Children or from?
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: Others peter answered from others that was the right. Answer
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: princes and the king's children were typically exempt from paying.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: Taxes then the children are in, Zempt jesus, said what
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: did he mean by? That jesus was referring to himself
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 1: as the son Of. God if the temple Was god's,
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: house Then, jesus As god's, son shouldn't be obligated to
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: pay the. Tax he was revealing something about his true. Identity,
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: However jesus didn't want to cause unnecessary offense or, scandal
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: so he Told, peter but so that we may not
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 1: cause a, fence go to the lake and throw out your.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: Line take the first fish you, catch open its, mouth
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: and you will find a silver. Coin take it and
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: give it to them for my tax and. Yours just
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 1: imagine That jesus Asked, peter an experienced, fisherman to do
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 1: something very. Strange he didn't, say go fish until you
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: catch enough to cover the. Tax he told him to
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: catch just one specific, fish the first, one and claimed
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: there would be an exact coin in its mouth to
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: cover the tax for both of. Them this miracle demonstrated
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: jesus supernatural. Knowledge how could he have known that be
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: a coin in a fish's Mouth humanly, speaking that would be.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: Impossible it also showed his power over all. Creation, Somehow
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: jesus arranged for a specific fish to swallow a specific
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: coin and be the very first One peter would. Catch
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 1: the entire natural order and circumstances themselves were under his.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: Control but perhaps the most impressive part of this miracle
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: is what it reveals About jesus. Heart even though he
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: was the son Of god and fully entitled to be
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: exempt from the temple, tax he chose to fulfill the.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: Obligation he showed respect for earthly authorities and avoided unnecessary.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: Conflict at the same, time he provided the means for
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: the tax to be, paid So peter wouldn't have to
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: use his own limited. Resources the twenty sixth miracle is
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: one of the most detailed healing stories in The. Gospel
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: In john chapter, nine verses one to forty, one we
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 1: read about an encounter that transformed not only a man's physical,
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: eyes but also his spiritual. Vision as he went, Along
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: jesus saw a man blind from. Birth this was a severe.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: Case the man had never seen, sunlight never looked into
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: his parents, faces never seen the colors of the. World
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: he had lived in darkness his entire. Life the disciples
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: were curious about the cause of his. Condition they asked
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: rabbi who sinned this man or his parents that he
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: was born. Blind In jewish culture at that, time many
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: believed that sickness or disability was a punishment for. Sin
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 1: they wanted to know who was to, blame the man,
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: himself perhaps for a future Sin god, foresaw or his.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: Parents jesus corrected, that, thinking neither this man nor his parents,
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: sinned but this happened so that the works Of god
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: might be displayed in. Him jesus didn't see the blindness
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: as a, punishment but as an opportunity For god to
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 1: show his power and. Love it was a completely different.
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: Perspective WHILE i am in the, WORLD i am the
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: light of the, World jesus said he was about to
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: prove that both literally and. Spiritually what he did next was.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: Unusual after saying, this he spit on the, ground made
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: some mud with the, saliva and put it on the man's.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: Eyes why such a strange, Method maybe because the man
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 1: was blind from, Birth jesus wanted him to feel the healing,
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: happening or perhaps to show That god can use, simple
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 1: even odd materials like mud made from spit to accomplish miraculous.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: Things jesus then gave the man a clear command go
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: wash in the pool Of. Siloam the man had to
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: take a step of faith and. Obedience Of siloam was
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: a place used for ritual purification In. Jerusalem so the
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: man went and washed and came home seeing what an incredible.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: Moment imagine seeing for the first time in your life, colors, shapes,
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: faces the sky all at. Once the miracle was instant and.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: Complete he didn't need to learn how to see or
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: go through any adjustment. Period his eyes and brain worked
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: perfectly from the. Start but the story didn't end. There
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: his neighbors and others who used to see him begging were.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: Shocked isn't this the same man who used to sit and,
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: beg some, Asked others, said, no he only looks like.
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: Him but the man, INSISTED i am the. Man, naturally
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: they wanted to know what. Happened he explained How jesus made,
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: mud put it on his eyes and told him to
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: wash in. Siloam SO i went, washed and NOW i can.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: See where is this? Man they, ASKED i don't, know.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: Replied at this, point the religious authorities stepped. In they
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: brought the man who had been blind to The Pharisees
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: verse fourteen explains why now the day on Which jesus
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 1: had made the mud and opened the man's eyes was A.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: Sabbath this was significant, because according to the Strict pharisaic
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: interpretation of The sabbath, law making mud and, healing unless
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: it was a matter of life and, death were considered
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: work and thus forbidden on The. Sabbath The pharisees also
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: asked the man how he had received his, sight and
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: he repeated his simple. Story this led to division among.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: Them some said this man is not From, god for
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: he does not keep The. Sabbath others, argued how can
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: a sinner perform such miraculous. Signs they couldn't reconcile the
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 1: clear display of divine power with their interpretation Of sabbath,
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: law so they turned to the man himself and, asked
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 1: what do you say about? Him it was your eyes he.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: Opened his answer was, straightforward he is a. Prophet but
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: The jews still did not believe that he had been
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: blind and had received his. Sight so they summoned the
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: man's parents and, asked is this your, son the one
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: you say was born? Blind how is it that he
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 1: can now? See the parents were Afraid verse twenty two.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: Explains his parents said this because they were afraid of The,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: jews for The jews had already decided that any one
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: who Acknowledged jesus as The christ would be put out
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: of the. Synagogue being expelled from the synagogue was a
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 1: serious form of both social and religious. Excommunication so the
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: parents answered, cautiously we know he is our, son and
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: we know he was born. Blind but how he can now,
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: see or who opened his, eyes we don't. Know ask.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: Him he's of, age he will speak for. Himself the
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 1: authorities summoned the man a second time and, demanded give
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 1: glory To. God we know this man is a. Sinner
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: the man, replied with simple but powerful, logic whether he
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: is a sinner or, NOT i do not know one.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 1: THING i do. KNOW i was, blind and NOW i.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 1: See they kept pressing him about How jesus had opened his,
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: eyes and the, man growing, impatient, RESPONDED i have told
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: you already and you did not. Listen why do you
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: want to hear it? Again do you also want to
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: become his? Disciples that set them. Off they insulted, him
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: you are this fellow's. Disciple we are disciples Of. Moses
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: we know That god spoke To. Moses but as for this,
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: man we don't even know where he comes. From the
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: man's response was. Extraordinary from someone likely with little formal,
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 1: education came a powerful theological. Defense now that is. Remarkable
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: you don't know where he comes, from yet he opened my.
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 1: Eyes we know That god does not listen to. Sinners
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: he listens to the godly person who does his. Will
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 1: nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 1: man born. Blind if this man were not From, god
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: he could do. Nothing unable to refute his, logic the
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: religious leaders resorted to. Intimidation you were steeped in sin at,
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 1: birth how dare you lecture? Us and they threw him.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 1: Out jesus heard that they had thrown him, out and
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: when he found the, man he, asked do you believe
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: in the son Of? Man who is? He? Sir tell
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 1: me so THAT i may believe in. Him the man,
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 1: Replied jesus, said you have now seen. Him in, fact
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 1: he is the one speaking with. You then the man, Said,
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: LORD i, believe and he Worshiped. Jesus jesus ended with
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: a profound reflection for. JUDGMENT i have come into this
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 1: world so that the blind will, see and those who
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 1: see will become. Blind Some pharisees who were with him
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: heard this, enough what are we blind? Too jesus, said
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: if you were, blind you would not be guilty of.
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 1: Sin but now that you claim you can, see your guilt.
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 1: Remains this miracle revealed not Only jesus power to heal physical,
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: blindness but also to open spiritual. Eyes the man progressed
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: in his understanding Of. Jesus he first called him the
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 1: man Called, jesus then said he is a, prophet later
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 1: argued he is From, god and ultimately worshiped him As. Lord,
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 1: meanwhile the religious leaders who claimed to clearly see spiritual
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 1: truths remained blind to the truth standing right in front of.
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 1: Them the twenty Seventh miracle Of jesus is recorded In,
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 1: luke chapter, thirteen verses ten to. Seventeen it's the story
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 1: of a woman who had been bent over for eighteen
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: long years until an encounter With jesus changed. Everything on A,
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 1: Sabbath jesus was teaching in one of the Synagogue jesus
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: often taught in synagogues on The, sabbath the sacred day
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 1: of worship for The. Jews on this particular, day there
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: was someone special in the. CONGREGATION a woman was there
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen. Years
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 1: she was bent over and could not straighten up at.
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: All for eighteen, years more than six, thousand five hundred,
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: days this woman lived bent, over always looking, down unable
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 1: to stand. Upright, luke being a, doctor specifically notes that
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 1: the cause of her condition was a spirit of, infirmity
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: suggesting a spiritual origin rather than merely a physical issue
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: like arthritis or. Injury imagine what her life must have
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 1: been like for eighteen. Years she couldn't look up at the,
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: sky couldn't look people in the eye while, speaking couldn't
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 1: lie down, comfortably couldn't perform basic tasks that required standing up.
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 1: Straight that distant downward gaze lightly affected even her mood
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 1: and outlook on. Life When jesus saw, her he called
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 1: her forward and said to, her, woman you are set
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: free from your. Infirmity jesus took the. Initiative the woman
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: didn't ask for, help didn't cry out for attention like
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: so many. Others perhaps she had grown resigned to her
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: condition after so many. Years But jesus saw, her called
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: her to the front of the synagogue before everyone and
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 1: declared her. Freedom then he put his hands on, her
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 1: and immediately she straightened up and Praised. God the effect was.
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 1: Instant after eighteen years bent, over she stood up. Straight
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 1: no physical, therapy no adjustment, period no, pain and the
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 1: very first thing she did with her new posture was Praise.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 1: God what a moment of joy and gratitude that must have.
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 1: Been but not everyone shared her. Joy the synagogue leader
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: was indignant Because jesus had healed on The. Sabbath he
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: didn't Confront jesus, directly but spoke to the, crowd there
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: are six days for, work so come and be healed
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: on those, days not on The. Sabbath this religious leader
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 1: was so bound to the rules that he lost sight
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 1: of their. Purpose he viewed healing as work and therefore
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: inappropriate for The. Sabbath he valued strict adherents to the
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: letter of the law more than the restoration of a
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 1: suffering human. Being jesus responded with irrefutable, logic you. Hypocrites
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 1: doesn't each of you untie your ox or donkey from
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 1: the stall and lead it out to give it water
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 1: on The? Sabbath then shouldn't this, woman a daughter Of
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: abraham Whom satan has kept bound for eighteen long years
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: be set free on The sabbath day from what bound.
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 1: Her jesus's argument was. Clear if it's acceptable to care
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: for an animal on The, sabbath as The pharisees themselves regularly,
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: did how much more important it is to free a human,
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 1: being a daughter Of, abraham a member of gods covenant
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 1: people from eighteen years of. Suffering jesus also revealed the
• 1:32:11
  Speaker 1: deeper nature of the woman's. Condition she had been bound By.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: Satan her affliction wasn't merely, Physical it was the result
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: of spiritual. Oppression jesus not only healed her, body he
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 1: set her free. Spiritually when he said, this all his
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 1: opponents were, humiliated but the people were delighted with all
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: the wonderful things he was. Doing the religious leaders had
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 1: no response to jesus. Logic their own actions condemned. Them,
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: meanwhile ordinary, people those not shackled by rigid legalistic, interpretations
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: could see and celebrate the, powerful liberating work Of god in.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: Action the twenty Eighth miracle Of jesus is recorded In
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 1: Luke chapter, fourteen verses one to. Six this, account much
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: like the story of the bent Over, woman also centers
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: on a sabbath healing and confronts religious leaders about the
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 1: true meaning of The holy. Day One, sabbath When jesus
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: went to eat in the house of a prominent, pharisee
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 1: he was being carefully. Watched jesus had been invited to
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: a meal at the home of a leading. Pharisee this
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 1: wasn't just a casual get. Together the pharisees were watching him,
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 1: closely likely hoping to catch him in something they could
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 1: use against. Him in front of him was a man
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: suffering from abnormal swelling of his. Body the man had
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 1: dropsy or, ademer a condition where fluid builds up in the,
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: body causing, swelling often in the, legs, ankles and. Feet it's, painful,
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 1: debilitating and often a symptom of more serious, heart, kidney
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: or liver. Issues, interestingly the man was positioned right in
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 1: front Of. Jesus this seems. Deliberate perhaps The pharisees had
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: placed him there as a test to see If jesus
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: would once again heal on the. Sabbath jesus asked the
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 1: pharisees and experts in the, law is it lawful to
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: heal on the sabbath or Not, jesus knowing their thoughts
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 1: went straight to the heart of the. Issue he raised
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 1: the question himself before even healing the, man but they remained.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 1: Silent they didn't want to. Commit if they said, yes
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: they couldn't criticize. Him if they said, no they'd come
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: across as. Heartless in front of. Everyone seeing their, Silence
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: jesus took hold of the, man healed, him and sent
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 1: him on his. Way there was no, hesitation no. Ceremony
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 1: jesus simply touched the, man healed, him and let him.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 1: Go the healing was immediate and. Complete the swelling vanished
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 1: and the man was. Restored, Afterward jesus challenged them with
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 1: a question that exposed their. Hypocrisy if one of you
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: has a child or an ox that falls into a
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 1: well on The, sabbath will you not immediately pull it?
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 1: Out this was similar to what he'd said about the
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 1: woman with the bent. Back the point was obvious they
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 1: themselves would Break sabbath norms in emergencies involving loved ones
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: or even, animals and they had nothing to. Say once,
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 1: again The pharisees were. Speechless jesus logic was air. Tight
• 1:35:24
  Speaker 1: human well being should always take. Precedence the twenty ninth
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 1: miracle is one of the most dramatic and powerful in
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 1: all of jesus. Ministry found In john chapter, Eleven verses
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 1: one to forty. Four it tells the extraordinary story of
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 1: the raising Of. Lazarus now a man Named lazarus was.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 1: Sick he was From, bethany the village Of mary and
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 1: her Sister. Martha lazarus and his sisters were close friends Of.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 1: Jesus he often stayed at their home In, bethany just
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: a couple of miles Outside. Jerusalem This, mary whose Brother
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 1: lazarus now lay, sick was the same one who poured
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: perfume on The lord and wiped his feet with her.
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 1: Hair john is referencing an event he'll describe later in chapter,
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 1: twelve Where mary Anoints jesus feet with expensive. Perfume so
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: the sisters sent word To, Jesus, lord the one you
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: love is. Sick notice what the message. Said they didn't
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: ask him to, Come they simply informed him of the.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: Situation they Trusted jesus love For lazarus and believed he
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: would respond as he saw. Best jesus's reaction was unexpected
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 1: when he heard, This jesus, said this sickness will not
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 1: end in. Death, no it is For god's, glory so
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 1: That god's son may be glorified through. It jesus already
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: knew the. Outcome he understood the greater purpose behind lazarus. Illness,
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: Now jesus Loved martha and her sister And, lazarus so
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 1: when he heard That lazarus was, sick he stayed where
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 1: he was two more. Days this deliberate delay seems. Odd
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 1: If jesus loved them so, much why didn't he go?
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 1: Immediately because he had something greater in. Mind after two,
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 1: days he said to his, disciples let us go back To.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 1: Judea the disciples were. Concerned. Rabbi a short while, ago
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 1: The jews there tried to stone, you and yet you
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 1: are going. Back it was. Dangerous judean religious leaders were
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: looking to kill. Him jesus replied with a metaphor about
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 1: walking in light versus. Darkness then, said, plainly our Friend
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: lazarus has fallen, asleep BUT i am going there to
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: wake him. Up the disciples, Misunderstood, lord if he, sleeps
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: he will get. Better So jesus said it, Bluntly lazarus
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 1: is dead and for your. SAKE i am GLAD i
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 1: was not, there so that you may. Believe but let
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: us go to. Him, thomas also Called, didamus said to
• 1:38:03
  Speaker 1: the other, disciples let us also, go that we may
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 1: die with. Him thomas understood the danger of returning To,
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 1: judea but he was willing to Follow jesus even if
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: it cost him his. Life When jesus, Arrived lazarus had
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 1: already been in the tomb for four. Days Many jews
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 1: had come from the city to Comfort martha And. Mary
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: When martha heard That jesus was, coming she went out
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: to meet, him But mary stayed at. Home Lord martha
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: said To, jesus if you had been, here my brother
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: would not have. Died BUT i know that even Now
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: god will give you whatever you. Ask martha expressed both
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 1: her sorrow at jesus absence and her faith in his.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 1: Power jesus said to, her your brother will rise. Again
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 1: martha thought he was referring to the general resurrection at
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: the end of. TIME i know he will rise again
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: in the resurrection at the last. Day jesus then made
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: one of the most profound declarations in the Entire New.
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 1: TESTAMENT i am The resurrection and the. Life he who
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: believes in, me though he may, die shall, live and
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 1: who ever lives and believes in me shall never. Die
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 1: do you believe, this, Yes, lord she, REPLIED i believe
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: that you are The, christ the son Of god who
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 1: was to come into the. World martha's faith was, remarkable
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 1: even in the midst of deep. Grief martha went back
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 1: and called her Sister mary, aside, saying the teacher is
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: here and is asking for. You mary quickly went to Meet,
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: jesus who had not yet entered the village but was
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 1: still at the place Where martha had met. Him The
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 1: jews who were Comforting mary saw her leave quickly and followed,
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: her thinking she was going to the tomb to weep.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 1: There When mary reached the place Where jesus was and saw,
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 1: him she fell at his feet and, Said, lord if
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 1: you had been, here my brother would not have. Died
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: she Echoed martha's. Words perhaps the two sisters had spoken
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: about this during their days of. Mourning When jesus saw
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: her weeping and The jews who had come along with
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 1: her also, weeping he was deeply moved in spirit and.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: Troubled jesus was profoundly affected by their. Grief where have
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 1: you laid? Him he, Asked come and, See, lord they,
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: Replied jesus. Wept the shortest verse in The bible reveals
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: one of its deepest. Moments even knowing he would Raise
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 1: lazarus in just a few, Minutes jesus. Wept he felt
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 1: the pain of loss and shared in the sorrow of his.
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: Friends his compassion was real and. Personal some of The jews,
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 1: said see how he loved, him but others, asked could
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 1: not he who opened the eyes of the blind man
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: have kept this man from. Dying, jesus once more deeply,
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 1: moved came to the. Tomb it was a case with
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: a stone laid across the. Entrance take away the, stone he. Said. Martha,
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 1: ever the practical one, warned But, lord by this time
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 1: there is a bad, odor for he has been there four.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 1: Days in that, culture without modern, embalming decomposition would have
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: already progressed. Significantly jesus, said DID i not tell you
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 1: that if you, believe you will see the glory Of.
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 1: God so they took away the. Stone Then jesus looked
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 1: up and, Said, FATHER i thank you that you have heard.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 1: ME i knew that you always hear. Me BUT i
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 1: said this for the benefit of the people standing, here
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 1: that they may believe that you sent. Me this prayer
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: Shows jesus's constant communion with The father and his desire
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: for others to. Believe Then jesus called in a loud,
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: Voice lazarus come. Out imagine the tense, silence all eyes
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: fixed on the dark entrance of the, tomb and then
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 1: the dead man came, out his hands and feet wrapped
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 1: with strips of linen and a cloth around his. Face
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: lazarus walked, out still bound in his grave. Clothes there
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 1: was no doubt he had truly been. Dead the linen,
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 1: wrappings the stench of, decay the four days in the
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 1: tomb all confirmed this was a genuine resurrection, miracle not
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 1: a recovery from a uncoma or fainting. Spell take off
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 1: the grave clothes and let him, Go jesus, Commanded what
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: an extraordinary moment it must have. Been sorrow turned into unbelievable,
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 1: joy tears into, laughter mourning into. Celebration the miracle had
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: a profound. Impact many of The, jews who had come
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 1: to Visit mary and had seen What jesus, did believed in.
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 1: Him but others went to tell The, pharisees which accelerated
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 1: the religious leader's plans to Kill. Jesus, ironically by giving
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: life To, Lazarus jesus sealed his own death. Sentence the
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: Thirtieth miracle Of jesus is recorded In luke seventeen eleven.
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 1: Nineteen it's a story that not only showcases jesus healing,
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 1: power but also delivers a deep lesson on. Gratitude now
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 1: on his way To, Jerusalem jesus traveled along the border
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 1: Between samaria And. Galilee jesus was headed To, jerusalem where
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 1: he would face. Crucifixion this border region was culturally. Significant
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: jews And samaritans typically avoided each other due to long
• 1:43:34
  Speaker 1: standing religious and ethnic. Tensions as he entered a, village
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 1: ten men with leprosy met, Him they stood at a. Distance,
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 1: leprosy a term that likely covered a range of skin,
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 1: diseases not just modern Day hanson's disease made a person.
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 1: Unclean Under jewish, law lepers were forced to live outside
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: the community and maintain distance from healthy. People these ten
• 1:44:03
  Speaker 1: men were united by shared. Suffering under normal, Circumstances jews
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 1: And samaritans wouldn't, associate but their disease had broken down social.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: Barriers pain and isolation had created a, small suffering community from.
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: Afar they raised their voices and called Out, Jesus, master
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: have mercy on. Us they Recognized jesus and believed he could.
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: Help calling Him master showed respect for his. Authority when
• 1:44:34
  Speaker 1: he saw, them he, said go show yourselves to the.
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: Priests this command aligned with the law Of moses In leviticus.
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: Fourteen the law required a healed leper to present himself
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: to the, priest who would examine him and confirm his,
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 1: cleansing allowing reintegration into. Society, Interestingly jesus didn't say you are,
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 1: healed nor did he touch, them as he had done
• 1:45:01
  Speaker 1: with other lepers earlier in his. Ministry, instead he simply
• 1:45:05
  Speaker 1: told them to act as if they were already, healed
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 1: even though there was no visible evidence. Yet and it
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 1: happened that as they went they were. Cleansed the healing
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 1: happened along the, way not, instantly not in the place
• 1:45:21
  Speaker 1: where they Encountered. Jesus it was a reward for their
• 1:45:24
  Speaker 1: obedience and. Faith they began walking toward the priests while still,
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 1: sick believing That jesus could heal. Them on the. Way
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 1: picture the. Scene as they, walked one of them may
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 1: have noticed the spots, disappearing dead skin falling, away sensation
• 1:45:43
  Speaker 1: returning to numb, limbs and then shouts of joy as
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: each one realized they had been completely. Healed one of,
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: them when he saw that he was, healed came back
• 1:45:53
  Speaker 1: Praising god in a loud. Voice he threw himself At
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 1: jesus feet and thanked, him and he was A. Samaritan
• 1:45:59
  Speaker 1: out of the ten healed, men only one came back
• 1:46:03
  Speaker 1: to express, gratitude and that one was A samaritan regarded
• 1:46:07
  Speaker 1: as heretical and inferior by The. Jews the least expected
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 1: was the only one to show. Thankfulness jesus, asked were
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 1: not all ten? Cleansed where are the other? Nine was
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 1: no one found to return and give praise To god
• 1:46:23
  Speaker 1: except this. Foreigner jesus noticed the absence of the others
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: and pointed out the. Irony the foreigner showed more gratitude
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: and recognition than those from the covenant. People then he
• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: said to, him rise and. Go your faith has made you.
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: Well The samaritan received more than just physical. Healing The
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: greek word translated as made you, well can also mean
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: saved physically and. Spiritually this man received. Both his body
• 1:46:54
  Speaker 1: was cleansed and his soul was. Saved this miracle reveals
• 1:46:58
  Speaker 1: How jesus broke through social lifes religious barriers to bring
• 1:47:01
  Speaker 1: healing and. Salvation he healed Both jews And samaritans without.
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 1: Discrimination it also teaches a powerful lesson about. Gratitude only
• 1:47:12
  Speaker 1: one in ten returned to give. Thanks how often do
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 1: we receive blessings and forget to thank the one who gave.
• 1:47:20

  Speaker 1: man be brought to. Him their persistence Caught jesus. Attention
• 1:49:23
  Speaker 1: he stopped his journey to answer the desperate call of
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 1: men whom society had. Overlooked when the blind men were
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: brought before, Him jesus asked a simple and direct, question
• 1:49:35
  Speaker 1: what do you want me to do for? You he
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: wanted to hear it from, them to give them the
• 1:49:41

• 1:50:01
  Speaker 1: and followed. Him the healing was instant and. Complete one
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 1: moment they were in total, darkness the next they could see, everything, colors, shapes,
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: faces the blue, sky green, trees and the face of their.
• 1:50:15
  Speaker 1: Savior their response to being healed was. Powerful they Followed.
• 1:50:19
  Speaker 1: Jesus they didn't just say thank you and go their
• 1:50:23
  Speaker 1: own way in. Gratitude they became his, followers joining the
• 1:50:27
  Speaker 1: crowd on the road To. Jerusalem luke adds a beautiful.
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 1: Detail he received his sight and Followed, jesus Glorifying. God
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 1: when all the people saw, it they also Praised. God
• 1:50:41
  Speaker 1: this man's public testimony inspired many others to worship and
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: Glorify god as. Well the thirty second miracle Of jesus
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 1: is unlike any. Other In matthew twenty one And mark
• 1:50:53
  Speaker 1: eleven we find the only destructive miracle recorded in The.
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: Gospels early in the, morning as he was on his
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 1: way back to the. City jesus was, hungry Says matthew
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 1: twenty one. Eighteen it was the beginning of his final
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: week before the. Crucifixion jesus had spent the night In,
• 1:51:12
  Speaker 1: bethany a small village Near, jerusalem and was returning to the.
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 1: City seeing a fig tree by the, road he went
• 1:51:19
  Speaker 1: up to it but found nothing on it except. Leaves
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: matthew twenty one nineteen continues was it fig? Season mark
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 1: eleven thirteen says it was not the season for. Figs,
• 1:51:33
  Speaker 1: however the presence of leaves usually meant there would be
• 1:51:36
  Speaker 1: some early, Figs so a leafy tree with no fruit
• 1:51:40
  Speaker 1: made it a perfect symbol of appearance without. Substance then
• 1:51:44
  Speaker 1: he said to the, tree may you never bear fruit.
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: Again immediately the tree. Withered matthew Reports mark gives a
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 1: slightly different, timeline stretching the event over two. Days on
• 1:51:57
  Speaker 1: the first, Day jesus cursed the fig. Tree the next,
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: day passing by the same, spot the disciples noticed it
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: had withered from the. Roots the disciples were. Amazed how
• 1:52:08
  Speaker 1: did the fig tree wither so? Quickly they. Asked this
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 1: was a different kind of, miracle not a healing or a,
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 1: multiplication but a. Judgment jesus used the moment to teach
• 1:52:20
  Speaker 1: about faith and. Prayer, TRULY i tell, you if you
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 1: have faith and do not, doubt not only can you
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 1: do what was done to the fig, tree but even

• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: Seeking jesus had just cleansed the, temple driving out merchants

• 1:53:16
  Speaker 1: performed before his. Crucifixion In, luke chapter twenty, two verse fifty,

• 1:53:25
  Speaker 1: night time in the garden Of. Gethsemone jesus had just prayed,
• 1:53:29
  Speaker 1: intensely to the point that his sweat became like drops of.
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: Blood he knew his time of suffering had. Come while
• 1:53:36
  Speaker 1: he was still, speaking a crowd came, up and the

  Speaker 1: man who was Called, judas one of The, twelve was leading.
• 1:53:42
  Speaker 1: Them he Approached jesus to kiss, him Says luke twenty

• 1:53:50
  Speaker 1: to Identify jesus to the guards coming to arrest. Him
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 1: when the disciples realized what was, happening they, Asked, lord
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 1: should we strike with our soword? Goods but Before jesus could,
• 1:54:01

  Speaker 1: probably aiming For malchus's, head but ended up cutting off his.
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 1: Ear the situation could have escalated quickly into a full blown,
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 1: conflict But jesus intervened enough of, this and, then in
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 1: a final act of compassion before his, arrest he touched
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 1: the man's ear and healed. Him As luke twenty two

• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: caused by one of his own. Disciples even in this critical,
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: Moment jesus demonstrated that his kingdom was not built on.

  Speaker 1: the crucifixion Of. Jesus In matthew chapter twenty, Seven mark chapter,
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: fifteen And luke chapter twenty, three we read about a
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 1: supernatural phenomenon that accompanied jesus. Death jesus was nailed to
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 1: the cross around nine o'clock in the, morning the third
• 1:55:59
  Speaker 1: hour of the, day By roman. Reckoning for three hours
• 1:56:03
  Speaker 1: he suffered as soldiers and passes by mocked. Him then

  Speaker 1: darkness came over all the, land Says matthew twenty seven forty.
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: Five from mid day the sixth hour to three p.
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 1: M the ninth, hour a mysterious darkness covered the. Land
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: this was not a typical solar. Eclipse passover always took
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 1: place during the full, moon making a solar eclipse astronomically. Impossible,
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 1: besides a total solar eclipse lasts only a few, minutes
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 1: not three full. Hours the darkness was clearly a supernatural,
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: event its meaning was. Profound in The, bible darkness often
• 1:56:48
  Speaker 1: symbolizes divine. Judgment during The Ninth plague In, egypt darkness
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 1: covered the land for three. Days now As jesus bore
• 1:56:57
  Speaker 1: the sin of the, world a similar darkness fell upon

  Speaker 1: the earth during those three. Hours jesus experienced divine. Abandonment
• 1:57:08
  Speaker 1: around three p. M he cried out in a loud,
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: Voice Eli Eli lama, sabachthani which, means My, God My,
• 1:57:18
  Speaker 1: god why have you forsaken? Me jesus was Quoting psalm twenty,
• 1:57:24
  Speaker 1: two A messianic psalm that vividly describes The messiah's. Suffering
• 1:57:29
  Speaker 1: soon after this, Cry jesus gave up his. Spirit at
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 1: the moment of his, death the darkness must have, lifted
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 1: as the gospel accounts describe events people witnessed right. Afterward
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 1: the impact of this miracle was. Powerful luke twenty, three
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 1: forty seven forty eight says the, centurion seeing what had,
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 1: happened Praised god and, said surely this was a righteous.
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 1: Man when all the people who had gathered to witness
• 1:57:54
  Speaker 1: this sight saw what took, Place they beat their breasts
• 1:57:57
  Speaker 1: and went. Away The romans Sent, urian likely a man
• 1:58:01
  Speaker 1: who had overseen many, executions recognized that this one was.
• 1:58:06
  Speaker 1: Different matthew records his words as truly this was The
• 1:58:11
  Speaker 1: son Of. God the supernatural, darkness along with other signs
• 1:58:17
  Speaker 1: surrounding jesus, death convinced even This roman soldier Of jesus's divine.
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 1: Identity the thirty fifth miracle happened at the exact moment
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 1: Of jesus's. Death In matthew chapter twenty, Seven mark chapter,
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: fifteen And luke chapter twenty, three we read about the
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 1: supernatural tearing of the temple, veil and When jesus had
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 1: cried out again in a loud, voice he gave up his,
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 1: spirit Says matthew twenty seven Fifty at the exact moment
• 1:58:47
  Speaker 1: of jesus, death something astonishing occurred in the temple In,
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: jerusalem about a kilometer From. Golgotha at that, moment the
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 1: curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to.
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 1: Bottom matthew twenty seven fifty one, continues the temple veil
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 1: was a, massive thick curtain that separated the holy place
• 1:59:08
  Speaker 1: from the most holy. Place the innermost part of the,
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 1: temple Where god's presence symbolically. Dwelled this veil was no ordinary.
• 1:59:17
  Speaker 1: Curtain according to The jewish Historian, josephus the veil In
• 1:59:21
  Speaker 1: herod's temple was approximately sixty feet, high thirty feet, wide
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 1: and as thick as the palm of a. Hand it
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 1: was made of fine fabric and richly. Embroidered according To jewish,
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 1: tradition it was so heavy that it required three hundred
• 1:59:36
  Speaker 1: priests to handle. It the miracle was not just that
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 1: this massive veil was, torn but the way in which
• 1:59:43
  Speaker 1: it happened from top to. Bottom it wasn't torn, horizontally
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 1: as would be expected if humans had done. It it
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 1: was ripped, vertically starting at the, top indicating a divine,
• 1:59:56
  Speaker 1: cause not a human. One the temple veil held profound
• 2:00:02
  Speaker 1: meaning in The jewish religious. Systium it symbolized the separation
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 1: Between god and. Humanity because of, sin only the high
• 2:00:10
  Speaker 1: priest was allowed to pass beyond this, veil and only
• 2:00:14
  Speaker 1: once a, year on the day Of, atonement to offer
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: sacrifices for the people's. Sins the tearing of this veil
• 2:00:22
  Speaker 1: at the moment of jesus death symbolized the end of that.
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 1: Separation jesus sacrifice on the cross opened the way for
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 1: direct access To, god As hebrews ten nineteen twenty puts. It,
• 2:00:35
  Speaker 1: therefore brothers and, sisters we have confidence to enter the
• 2:00:39
  Speaker 1: Most Holy place by the blood Of, jesus by a
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 1: new and living way opened for us through the veil
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 1: that is his. Body this miracle must have caused a
• 2:00:50
  Speaker 1: great stir among the priests serving in the temple at that.
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 1: Time it happened during the evening, sacrifice so many priests
• 2:00:58
  Speaker 1: would have been present in The Holy. Place imagine their
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 1: shock as they witnessed the sacred veil tear apart before
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 1: their very eyes without. Explanation the thirty sixth miracle also
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 1: occurred at the moment Of jesus. Death In Matthew chapter twenty,
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 1: seven verses fifty one to fifty, three we find a
• 2:01:19
  Speaker 1: striking account of supernatural. Events matthew tells us that at
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 1: the moment of jesus, death in addition to the temple
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 1: veil being, torn the earth, shook the rock, split and
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 1: the tombs broke. Open a powerful earthquake Rock, jerusalem strong
• 2:01:37
  Speaker 1: enough to split solid. Rock earthquakes aren't uncommon in the
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 1: region Of, israel which lies on an active geological fault.
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 1: Line but the timing of this particular, quake coinciding precisely
• 2:01:50
  Speaker 1: with jesus, death clearly suggests this was no ordinary natural.
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: Event it was a divine, response the earth itself reacting
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 1: to the death of its. Creator but what happened next
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 1: was even more. Extraordinary matthew, continues the bodies of many
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 1: holy people who had died were raised to. Life they
• 2:02:11
  Speaker 1: came out of the tombs After jesus resurrection and went
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 1: into The Holy city and appeared to many. People this
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 1: is one of the most intriguing accounts in the Entire.
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 1: Bible people who had died described as, holy likely meaning
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 1: faithful followers Of, god were raised back to. Life their
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 1: tombs were opened by the, earthquake but noticed they didn't emerge.
• 2:02:33
  Speaker 1: Immediately matthew specifies that they came out After jesus, resurrection
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 1: suggesting they remained in their graves for about three. Days
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 1: After jesus rose On sunday, morning these resurrected saints Entered,
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 1: jerusalem The Holy, city and appeared to. Many matthew doesn't
• 2:02:52
  Speaker 1: tell us who they, were how many there, were or
• 2:02:55
  Speaker 1: what happened to them. Afterward were They Old testament figures
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 1: recently deceased, Believers we don't. Know we also don't know
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 1: whether they received glorified resurrection bodies Like, jesus or if
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 1: they were temporarily brought back to life As lazarus, was
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 1: only to die again. Later scripture doesn't give those. Details
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 1: what we do know is that this extraordinary event served
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 1: as a powerful testimony In. Jerusalem imagine the impact of
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 1: deceased relatives and friends suddenly reappearing to testify About jesus's
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 1: death and. Resurrection this, miracle along with the other signs
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 1: surrounding the, crucifixion convinced many That jesus was not an ordinary,
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 1: criminal but truly the son Of. God it's significant that
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 1: this miracle connected jesus death to the resurrection of faithful.
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 1: Believers it was a visible sign of What jesus death,
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 1: accomplished victory over the grave for all who believe in.
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 1: Him As paul would later, Write christ has indeed been
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 1: raised from the, dead the first fruits of those who
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 1: have fallen. Asleep the resurrection of these saints was a
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 1: glimpse of the final resurrection that all believers will experience
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 1: When christ. Returns it was a powerful preview of jesus,
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 1: PROMISE i am the resurrection and the. Life the one
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 1: who believes IN me will live even though they. Die

  Speaker 1: the resurrection Of jesus from the. Dead this, event recorded
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 1: in all Four, gospels is the cornerstone of The christian

• 2:06:14
  Speaker 1: when the women entered the, tomb they did not find jesus. Body,

• 2:09:28
  Speaker 1: that night they caught. Nothing they had fished all, night
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 1: the best time to fish in that, lake and caught absolutely.
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 1: Nothing at, Dawn jesus stood on the, shore but the
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 1: disciples didn't recognize. Him the, distance the early morning, light
• 2:09:44
  Speaker 1: and possibly even a divine purpose kept them from identifying
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 1: him right. Away jesus called, out, children do you have
• 2:09:53
  Speaker 1: anything to? Eat, no they, Answered then he gave them
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 1: a simple. Instruction cast the net on the right side
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 1: of the boat and you'll find. Some when they, did
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 1: they were unable to haul the net in because of

  Speaker 1: the large number of. Fish the, disciple Whom jesus, Loved,
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 1: john was the first to recognize. Him it's The, lord

  Speaker 1: and swam to shore to Meet, jesus while the others
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 1: followed in the, boat dragging the net full of fish behind.

• 2:10:44
  Speaker 1: fish but even with so, many the net was not.
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 1: Torn the precise number one fifty three suggests that the
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 1: disciples were so amazed they counted every single one come
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 1: and have. Breakfast jesus invited. Them none one of the
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 1: disciples dared ask, him who are? You they knew it
