  Speaker 2: Mark chapter one. The beginning of the good News about
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God, as it is
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: written in Isaiah the Prophet, I will send my messenger
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: ahead of you, who will prepare your way. A voice
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: of one calling in the wilderness. Prepare the way for
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: the Lord, make straight paths for him. And so John
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: repentance for the forgiveness of sins. The whole Judaean countryside
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: confessing their sins. They were baptized by him in the
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Jordan River. John wore clothing made of camel's hair, with
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: and wild honey. And this was his message. After me,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: comes the one more powerful than I, the straps of
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: untie I baptize you with water, but he will baptize
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: you with the Holy Spirit. At that time, Jesus came
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: from Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptized by John in
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: the Jordan. Just as Jesus was coming up out of
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the water, he saw and being torn open, and the
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Spirit descending on him like a dove, and a voice
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: came from heaven. You are my son, whom I love.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: With you, I am well pleased. At once the spirit
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: sent him out into the wilderness, and he was in
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: with the wild animals and angels attended him. After John
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: good news of God. The time has come, he said,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the Kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: the good news. As Jesus walked beside the sea of Galilee,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: into the lake, for they were fishermen. Come follow me,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Jesus said, and I will send you out to fish
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: or people. At once, they left their nets and followed him.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: When he had gone a little farther, he saw James,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: son of Zebedee, and his brother John in a boat
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: preparing their nets. Without delay, he called to them, and
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: they left their father Zebede in the boat with the
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: hired men and followed him. They went to Capernaum, and
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue and
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: began to teach. The people were amazed at his teaching,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: because he taught them as one who had authority, not
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: as the teachers of the law. Just then, a man
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: in their synagogue, who was possessed by an impure spirit,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: cried out, what do you want with me, Jesus of Nazareth?
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the Holy One of God. Be quiet, said Jesus, sternly,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: come out of him. The impure spirit shook the man
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: violently and came out of him with a shriek. The
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: people were all so amazed that they asked each other,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: what is this a new teaching and with authority? He
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: even gives orders to impure spirits, and they obey him.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: News about him spread quickly over the whole region of Galilee.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: James and John to the home of Simon and Andrew.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Simon's mother in law was in bed with fever, and
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: they immediately told Jesus about her. So he went to her,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: took her hand and helped her up. The fever left her,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: and she began to wait on them. That evening, after sunset,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the people brought to Jesus all this sick and demon possessed.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: The whole town gathered at the door, and Jesus healed
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: but he would not let the demons speak because they
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: knew who he was. Very early in the morning, while
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: and went off to a solitary place where he prayed.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Simon and his companions went to look for him, and
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: when they found him, they exclaimed, every one is looking
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: for you. Jesus replied, let us go somewhere else, to
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the nearby villages, so I can preach there also. That
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: is why I have come. So he traveled throughout Galilee,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons. A man
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: if you are willing, you can make me clean. Jesus
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: was indignant. He reached out his hand and touched the man.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: I am willing, he said, be clean. Immediately the leprosy
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: left him, and he was cleansed. Jesus sent him away
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: at once with a strong warning, See that you don't
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: tell this to any one, but go show yourself to
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: your cleansing as a testimony to them. Instead, he went
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: but stayed outside in lonely places. Yet the people still
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: came to him from everywhere Mark chapter two. A few
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: that he had come home. They gathered in such large
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: numbers that there was no room left, not even outside
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the door, and he preached the word to them. Some
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: four of them. Since they could not get him to
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the roof above Jesus by digging through it, and then
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: lowered the mat the man was lying on. When Jesus
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, son,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: your sins are forgiven. Now. Some teachers of the law
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: were sitting there, thinking to themselves, why does this fellow
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: talk like that. He's blaspheming who can forgive sins but
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: God alone. Immediately, Jesus knew in his spirit that this
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: said to them, why are you thinking these things? Which
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: is easier to say to this paralyzed man, your sins
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: are forgiven, or to say, get up, take your mat
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: and walk, But I want you to know that the
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: So he said to the man, I tell you, get up,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: take your mat, and go home. He got up, took
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: his mat, and walked out in full view of them. All.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: This amazed everyone, and they praised God's saying, we have
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: never seen anything like this. Once again, Jesus went out
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: he began to teach them. As he walked along, he
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: saw Levi, son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax collector's booth.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Follow me, Jesus told him, and Levi got up and
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: followed him. While Jesus was having dinner at Levi's house,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: his disciples, for there were many who followed him. When
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: the teachers of the law, who were Pharisees, saw him
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: why does he eat but tax collectors and sinners. On
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: hearing this, Jesus said to them, it is not the
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: not come to call the righteous, but sinners. Now John's
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. Some people came and
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: asked Jesus, how is it that John's disciples and the
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours are not.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Jesus answered, how can the guests of the bridegroom fast
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: while he is with them? They cannot so long as
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: they have him with them. But the time will come
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and on
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: that day they will fast. No one sows a patch
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, otherwise the new
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: peace will pull away from the old, making the tear worse.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: And no one pours new wine into old wine skins,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: and the wine skins will be ruined. No, they pour
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: new wine into new wine skins. One sabbath, Jesus was
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: going through the grain fields, and as his disciples walked along,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: they began to pick some heads of grain. The Pharisee
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: said to him, look, why are they doing what is
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: unlawful on the Sabbath. He answered, have you never read
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: what David did when he and his companions were hungry
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: and in need in the days of Abiathar, the high priest.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: He entered the House of God and ate the consecrated bread,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: which is lawful only for priests to eat, and he
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: also gave some to his companions. Then he said to them,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: So the son of Man is lord even of the Sabbath,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Mark chapter three. Another time Jesus went into the synagogue
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Some
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: so they watched him closely to see if he would
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: heal him. On the Sabbath, Jesus said to the man
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: with the shriveled hand, stand up in front of everyone.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Then Jesus asked them which is lawful on the sabbath,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: to do good or to do evil, to save life,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: or to kill, but they remained silent. He looked around
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: at them in anger and deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: said to the man, stretch out your hand. He stretched
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: it out, and his hand was completely restored. Then the
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: how they might kill Jesus. Jesus withdrew with his disciples
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: When they heard about all he was doing. Many people
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: came to him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: across the Jordan and around Tire and Sidon. Because of
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: the crowd, he told his disciples to have a small
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: boat ready for him to keep the people from crowding him.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: For he had healed many, so that those with diseases
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: were pushing forward to touch him. Whenever the impure spirits
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: saw him, they fell down before him and cried out,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: you are the son of God. But he gave them
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: strict orders not to tell others about him. Jesus went
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: up on a mountain side, and called to him those
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: he wanted, and they came to him. He appointed twelve
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: that they might be with him, and that he might
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: send them out to preach and to have authority to
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: drive out demons. These are the twelve he appointed. Simon,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: to whom he gave the name Peter James, son of Zebedee,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: and his brother John. To them he gave the name
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: bo Narges, which means sons of Thunder. Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Thomas James son of Alpheus, Thaddeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: a scariot who betrayed him. Then Jesus entered a house,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: disciples were not even able to eat. When his family
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: heard about this, they went to take charge of him,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: for they said he is out of his mind. And
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem, said,
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: he is possessed, be visible by the prince of demons.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: He is driving out demons. So Jesus called them over
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: to him and began to speak to them in parables.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If a house
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. And if
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand. His
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: end has come. In fact, no one can enter a
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: strong man's house without first tying him up. Then he
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: can plunder the strong man's house. Truly, I tell you,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: they utter. But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: never be forgiven. They are guilty of an eternal sin.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: He said this because they were saying he has an
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: impure spirit. Then jesus mother and brothers arrived standing outside.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: They sent someone in to call him. The crowd was
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: sitting around him, and they told him, your mother and
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: brothers are outside looking for you. Who are my mother
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: and my brothers? He asked that. He looked at those
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: seated in a circle around him and said, here are
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: my mother and my brothers. Whoever does God's will is
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: my brother and sister and mother Mark chapter four. Again,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: gathered around him was so large that he got into
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: a boat and sat in it out on the lake.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: While all the people were along the shore at the
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: water's edge. He taught them many things by parables, and
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: in his teaching said, listen, a farmer went out to
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: fell along the path, and the birds came and ate
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: it up. Some fell on rocky places where it did
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: the plants, so that they did not bear grain. Still,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: a hundred times. Then Jesus said, whoever has ears to hear,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: let them hear. When he was alone, the twelve and
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: the others around him asked him about the parables. He
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: told them, the seed secret of the Kingdom of God
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: has been given to you. But to those on the outside,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: everything is said in parables, so that they may be
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: ever seeing but not perceiving, and ever hearing, but never understanding,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: otherwise they might turn and be forgiven. Then Jesus said
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: to them, don't you understand this parable? How then will
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: you understand any parable? The farmer sows the word. Some
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: people are like seed along the path where the word
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: and takes away the word that was sown in them. Others,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: at once receive it with joy. But since they have
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: no root, they last only a short time. When trouble
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. Still. Others,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: like seeds sown among thorns, hear the word, but the
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: desires for other things, come in and choke the word,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: making it unfruitful. Others, like seed sown on good soil,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: hear the word, accept it and produce a crop some thirty,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: some sixty, some one hundred times what was sown. He
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: said to them, do you bring in a lamp to
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don't
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: you put it on its stand? For whatever is hidden
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: is meant to be disclosed, And whatever is concealed is
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: meant to be brought out into the open. If anyone
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: has ears to hear, let them hear. Consider carefully what
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: you hear, he continued, with the measure you use, it
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: will be measured to you. And even more, whoever has
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: will be given more. Whoever does not have, even what
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: they have will be taken from them. He also said,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: this is what the Kingdom of God is like. A
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: man scatters seed on the ground night and day, whether
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: though he does not know how. All by itself. The
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: soil produces grain, burst the stalk, then the head, then
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: the full kernel in the head. As soon as the
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: the harvest has come again. He said, what shall we
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: say the Kingdom of God is like? Or what parables
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: shall we use to describe it? It is like a
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: can perch in its shade. With many similar parables, Jesus
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: spoke the word to them as much as they could understand.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: He did not say anything to them without using a parable,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: But when he was alone with his own disciples he
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: explained everything. That day, when evening came, he said to
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: his disciples, let us go over to the other side.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Leaving the crowd behind. They took him along. Just as
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: he was in the boat, there were also other boats
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: with him. A furious squall came up, and the waves
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: disciples woke him and said to him, teacher, don't you
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: care if we drown. He got up, rebuked the wind
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: and said to the waves quiet, be still. Then the
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: wind died down and it was completely calm. He said
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: to his disciples, why are you so afraid? Do you
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: still have no faith? They were terrified and asked each other,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: him Mark chapter five. They went across the lake to
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: the region of the Jerrousenes. When Jesus got out of
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: the tombs to meet him. This man lived in the tombs,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: and no one could bind him any more, not even
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: with a chain, for he had often been chained hand
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: and foot. But he tore the chains apart and broke
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: to subdue him. Night and day among the tombs and
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: in the hills, he would cry out and cut himself
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: with stones. When he saw Jesus from a distance, he
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: ran and fell on his knees in front of him.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: He shouted, at the top of his voice, what do
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: you want with me, Jesus, son of the Most High
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: God in God's name, don't torture me, For Jesus had
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: said to him, come out of this man, you impure spirit.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Then Jesus asked him, what is your name. My name
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: is Legion, he replied, for we are many, And he
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: begged Jesus again and again not to send them out
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: of the area. A large herd of pigs was feeding
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: on the nearby hillside. The demons begged Jesus, send us
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: among the pigs, allow us to go into them. He
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: the town and countryside, and the people went out to
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: saw the man who had been possessed by the legion
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: of demons sitting there, dressed and in his right mind,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: and they were afraid. Those who had seen it told
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: the people what had happened to the demon possessed man,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: and told about the pigs as well. Then the people
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: began to plead with Jesus to leave their region. As
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: been demon possessed begged to go with him. Jesus did
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: not let him, but said, go home to your own
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: people and tell them how much the Lord has done
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: for you, and how he has had mercy on you.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: So the man went away and began to tell in
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: the decapitalist how much Jesus had done for him, and
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: all the people were amazed. When Jesus had again crossed
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: over by boat to the other side of the lake,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: a large crowd gathered around him while he was by
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: the lake. Then one of the synagogue leaders named Jyris
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: came and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: He pleaded earnestly with him, My little daughter is dying.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Please come and put your hands on her so that
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: she will be healed and live. So Jesus went with him.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: A large crowd followed and pressed around him, and a
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: twelve years. She had suffered a great deal under the
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: care of many doctors and had spent all she had,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Yet instead of getting better, she grew worse. When she
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: crowd and tucked his cloak because she thought, if I
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: just touch his clothes, I will be healed. Immediately, her
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: bleeding stopped, and she felt in her body that she
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: was freed from her suffering. At once, Jesus realized that
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: power had gone out from him. He turned around in
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: the crowd and asked, who touched my clothes? You see
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: the people crowding against you. His disciples answered, and yet
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: you can ask who touched me. But Jesus kept looking
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: around to see who had done it. Then the woman,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: his feet, and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: He said, to her daughter, your faith has healed you.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Go in peace and be freed from your suffering. While
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: of Jyris, the synagogue leader. Your daughter is dead, They said,
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: why bother the teacher anymore Overhearing what they said, Jesus
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: told him, don't be afraid, just believe. He did not
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: let anyone follow him except Peter James and John, the
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: brother of James. When they came to the home of
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion with people crying
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: and wailing loudly. He went in and said to them,
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: why all this commotion and wailing. The child is not
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: dead but asleep, But they laughed at him. After he
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: put them all out, he took the child's father and
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: mother and the disciples who were with him, and went
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: in where the child was. He took her by the
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: hand and said to her to litha coomb, which means
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: little girl, I say to you, get up up. Immediately,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: the girl stood up and began to walk around. She
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: was twelve years old at this They were completely astonished.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: and told them to give her something to eat Mark
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: chapter six. Jesus left there and went to his hometown,
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: accompanied by his disciples. When the Sabbath came, he began
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: were amazed. Where did this man get these things? They asked,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: what's this wisdom that has been given him? What are
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: these remarkable miracles he is performing? Isn't this the carpenter,
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: and Simon. Aren't his sisters here with us? And they
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: took offence at him. Jesus said to them, a prophet
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: is not without honor except in his own hometown, among
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: his relatives, and in his own home. He could not
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: do any miracles there except lay his hands on a
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: few sick people and heal them. He was amazed at
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: their lack of faith. Then Jesus went around teaching from
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: village to village, calling the Twelve to him. He began
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: to send them out two by two and gave them
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: authority over impure spirits. These were his instructions. Take nothing
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: for the journey except a staff, no bread, no bag,
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: no money in your belts, wear sandals, but not an
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: extra shirt. Whenever you enter a house, stay there until
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: you leave that town. And if any place will not
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: shake the dust off your feet. As a testimony against them,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: they went out and preached that people should repent. They
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: drove out many demons and anointed many sick people with
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: oil and healed them. King Herod heard about this, for
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Jesus's name had become well known. Some were saying, John
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: is why miraculous powers are at work in him. Others
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: said he is Elijah, and still others claimed he is
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: a prophet, like one of the prophets of long ago.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: But when Herod heard this, he said, John, whom I beheaded,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: has been raised from the dead. For Herod himself had
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: given orders to have John arrested, and he had him
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: bound and put in prison. He did this because of Herodius,
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: his brother Philip's wife, whom he had married. For John
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: had been saying to Herod, it is not lawful for
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: you to have your brother's wis so Herodius nursed a
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: grudge against John and wanted to kill him, but she
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: was not able to because Herod feared John and protected him,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: knowing him to be a righteous and holy man. When
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled, yet he liked
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: to listen to him. Finally, the opportune time came. On
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: his birthday, Herod gave a banquet for his high officials
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee. When
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: Herod and his dinner guests. The king said to the girl,
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: ask me for anything you want, and I'll give it
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: to you, And he promised her with an oath, whatever
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: you ask, I will give you up to half my kingdom.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: She went out and said to her mother, what shall
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: I ask for the head of John the Baptist? She
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: answered at once. The girl hurried in to the king
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: with the request, I want you to give me right
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: now the head of John the Baptist on a platter.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: and his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: John's head. The man went the headed John in the
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: prison and brought back his head on a platter. He
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: presented it to the girl, and she gave it to
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: her mother. On hearing of this, John's disciples came and
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: took his body and laid it in a tomb. The
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: had done and taught, And because so many people were
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: coming and going that they did not even have a
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: chance to eat. He said to them, come with me
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: So they went away by themselves in a boat to
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: a solid, terry place. But many who saw them leaving
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: and got there ahead of them. When Jesus landed and
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them because
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: they were like sheep without a shepherd, so he began
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: teaching them many things. By this time it was late
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: in the day, so his disciples came to him. This
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: is a remote place, they said, and it's already very late.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Send the people away so they can go to the
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: But he answered, you give them something to eat. They
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: said to him that would take more than half a
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: year's wages. Are we to go and spend that much
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: on bread and give it to them to eat? How
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: many loaves do you have, he asked, go and see.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: When they found out, they said five and two fish.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: down in groups on the green grass. So they sat
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: down in groups of hundreds and fifties, taking the five
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: loaves and the two fish, and looking up to Heaven.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: He gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: also divided the two fish among them. All They all
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. The number
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: of the men who had eaten was five thousand. Immediately,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: on ahead of him to Bethseayada, while he dismissed the crowd.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: After leaving them, he went up on a mountain side
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: to pray. Later that night, the boat was in the
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: middle of the lake, and he was alone on land.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: He saw the disciples straining at the oars because the
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: wind was against them. Shortly before dawn, he went out
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: to them walking on the lake. He was about to
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: pass them by, but when they saw him walking on
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: out because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: he spoke to them and said, take courage, it is I.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Don't be afraid. Then he climbed into the boat with them,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: and the wind died down. They were completely amazed, for
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: they had not understood about the loaves. Their hearts were hardened.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: When they had crossed over. They landed at Genserre and
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: anchored there. As soon as they got out of the boat,
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: people recognized Jesus. They ran throughout the whole region and
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: and wherever he went into villages, towns or countryside, they
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: placed the sick in the market places. They begged him
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: to let them touch even the edge of his cloak,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: and all who touched it were healed. Mark chapter seven.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: who had come from Jerusalem, gathered around Jesus and saw
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: some of his disciples eating food with hands that were defiled,
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: that is, unwashed. The Pharisees and all the Jews do
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial washing,
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: holding to the tradition of the elders. When they come
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash,
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: and they observe many other traditions, such as the washing
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: of cups, pitchers, and kettles. So the Pharisees and teachers
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: of the law asked Jesus, why don't your disciples live
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: their food with defiled hands. He replied, Isaiah was right
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: when he prophesied about you hypocrites. As it is written,
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: these people honor me with their lips, but their hearts
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: are far from me. They worship me in vain. Their
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: teachings are merely human rules. You have let go of
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: And he continued, you have a fine way of setting
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: aside the commands of God in order to observe your
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: own traditions. For Moses said honor your father and mother,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: and any one who curses their father or mother is
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: to be put to death. But you say that if
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: any one declares that what might have been used to
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: help their father or mother is corbin that is devoted
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: to go God, then you no longer let them do
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: anything for their father or mother. Thus you nullify the
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: word of God by your tradition that you have handed down,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: and you do many things like that. Again, Jesus called
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: the crowd to him and said, listen to me, everyone,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: and understand this. Nothing outside a person can defile them
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: of a person that defiles them. After he had left
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: about this. Parable are you so dull? He asked, don't
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: you see that nothing that enters a person from the
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: outside can defile them, for it doesn't go into their heart,
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: but into their stomach and then out of the body.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: In saying this, Jesus declared glared all foods clean. He
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: went on, what comes out of a person is what
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: defiles them, for it is from within out of a
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: person's heart that evil thoughts come, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: and folly. All these evils come from inside and defile
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: a person. Jesus left that place and went to the
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Vicinity of Tire. He entered a house and did not
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: want anyone to know it. Yet he could not keep
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: his presence secret. In fact, as soon as she heard
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: about him, a woman whose little daughter was possessed by
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: an impure spirit, came and fell at his feet. The
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: woman was a Greek born in Syrian Phoenicia. She begged
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter. First,
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: let the children eat all they want, he told her,
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: for it is not right to take the children's bread
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: and toss it to the dogs. Lord, She replied, even
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs. Then
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: he told her, for such a reply, you may go.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: The demon has left your daughter. She went home and
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: found her child lying on the bed and the demon gone.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Then Jesus left the Vicinity of Tire and went through Sidon,
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: of the Decapolis. There some people brought to him a
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: begged Jesus to place his hand on him. After he
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: took him aside away from the crowd, Jesus put his
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: fingers into the man's ears. Then he spit and touch
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: the man's tongue. He looked up to heaven and with
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: a deep sigh, said to him ephatha, which means be opened.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: At this the man's ears were opened, his tongue was loosened,
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: and he began to speak plainly. Jesus commanded them not
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: to tell anyone, but the more he did so, the
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: more they kept talking about it. People were overwhelmed with amazement.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: He has done everything well, they said. He even makes
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: the deaf hear and the mute speak Mark chapter eight.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: During those days, another large crowd gathered. Since they had
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: nothing to eat. Jesus called his disciples to him and said,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: I have compassion for these people. They have already been
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: with me three days and have nothing to eat. If
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way,
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: because some of them have come a long distance. His
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: disciples answered, but where in this remote place can anyone
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: get enough bread to feed them? How many loaves do
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: you have Jesus asked seven. They replied. He told the
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: crowd to sit down on the ground. When he had
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: taken the seven loaves and given thanks, he broke them
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: and gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people,
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: and they did so. They had a few small fishes well.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: He gave thanks for them also and told the disciples
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: to distribute them. The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward,
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: were left over. About four thousand were present. After he
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: had sent them away, he got into the boat with
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: his disciples and went to the region of Dalmanitha. The
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: Pharisees came and began to question Jesus to test him.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: They asked him for a sign from heaven. He sighed
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: deeply and said, why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly,
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: I tell you no sign will be given to it.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: Then he left them, got back into the boat and
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: crossed to the other side. The disciples had forgotten to
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: in the boat. Be careful, Jesus warned them, watch out
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: They discussed this with one another and said it is
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: because we have no bread. Aware of their discussion, Jesus
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: asked them, why are you talking about having no bread?
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened?
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: Do you have eyes but fail to see? And ears
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: but fail to hear? And don't you remember when I
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: basketfuls of pieces did you pick up? Twelve? They replied.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand,
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up? They
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: answered seven? He said to them, do you still not understand?
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: They came to Bethseta, and some people brought a blind
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: man and begged Jesus to touch him. He took the
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: blind man by the hand and led him outside the village.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: When he had spit on the man's eyes and put
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: his hands on him, Jesus asked, do you see anything?
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: He looked up and said, I see people. They look
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: like trees walking around. Once more, Jesus put his hands
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. Jesus sent
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: him home, saying, don't even go into the village. Jesus
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: and his disciples went on to the villages around Cesyria Philippi.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: On the way, he asked them, who do people say
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: I am? They replied, some say John the Baptist, and
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: still others one of the prophets. But what about you,
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: He asked, who do you say I am? Peter answered,
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: you are the Messiah. Jesus warned them not to tell
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: any one about him. He then began to teach them
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: that the son of Man must suffer many things and
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: teachers of the law, that he must be killed, and
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: after three days rise again. He spoke plainly about this,
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: rebuked Peter. Get behind me, Satan, He said, you do
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: human concerns. Then he called the crowd to him along
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: with his disciples, and said, whoever wants to be my
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: lose it. But whoever loses their life for Me and
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: for the Gospel will save it. What good is it
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: for someone to gain the whole world yet forfeit their soul,
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: this adulterous and sinful generation, the son of Man will
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: be ashamed of them when he comes in his father's
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: glory with the Holy Angels Mark chapter nine. And he
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: said to them, truly, I tell you, some who are
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: standing here will not taste death before they see that
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: the Kingdom of God has come with power. After six days,
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: Jesus took Peter, James, and John with him and let
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: them up a high mountain where they were all alone.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: There he was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white,
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them, and
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: there appeared before them alone Elijah and Moses, who were
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: talking with Jesus. Peter said to Jesus, Rabbi, it is
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: good for us to be here. Let us put up
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: for Elijah. He did not know what to say. They
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: were so frightened. Then a cloud appeared and covered them,
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: and a voice came from the cloud. This is my
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: son whom I love. Listen to him. Suddenly, when they
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: the Son of Men had risen from the dead. They
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: kept the matter to themselves, discussing what rising from the
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: dead meant, And they asked him, why do the teachers
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: of the law say that Elijah must come first? Jesus replied,
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: to be sure, Elijah does come first and restores all things.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Why then is it written that the son of Man
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: must suffer much and be rejected. But I tell you,
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: Elijah has come, and they have done to him everything
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: they wished, just as it is written about him. When
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: they came to the other disciples, they saw a large
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: with them. As soon as all the people saw Jesus,
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: What are you arguing with them about? He asked. A
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: man in the crowd answered, teacher, I brought you my son,
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: of speech. Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth,
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: the spirit, but they could not. You unbelieving, generation, Jesus replied,
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: how long shall I stay with you? How long shall
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth. Jesus
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: asked the boy's father how long has he been like this?
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: From childhood? He answered, It has often thrown him into
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: fire or water to kill him. But if you can
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: do anything, take pity on us and help us. If
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: you can, said Jesus, everything is possible for one who believes. Immediately,
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: the boy's father exclaimed, I do believe. Help me overcome
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: my unbelief. When Jesus saw that a crowd was running
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: to the scene, he rebuked the impure spirit, you deaf
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: and mute, spirit. He said, I command you come out
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: of him and never enter him again. The spirit shrieked,
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: convulsed him violently, and came out. The boy looked so
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: much like a corpse that many said he's dead. But
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: his feet, and he stood up. After Jesus had gone indoors,
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: his disciples asked him privately, why couldn't we drive it out?
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: He replied, this kind can come out only by prayer.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: not want any one to know where they were, because
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, the
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: son of Man is going to be delivered into the
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: hands of men. They will kill him, and after three
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: days he will rise. But they did not understand what
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: he meant and were afraid to ask him about it.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house.
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: He asked them, what were you arguing about on the road,
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: But they kept quiet because on the way they had
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: argued about who was the greatest. Sitting down, Jesus called
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: the twelve and said, any one who wants to be
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: first must be the very last. And the servant of all.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: He took a little child, whom he placed among them.
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: Taking the child in his arms, he said to them,
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: welcomes me. And whoever welcomes me does not welcome me.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: But the one who sent me. Teacher said, John, we
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: saw someone driving out demons in your name, and we
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: told him to stop because he was not one of us.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: Do not stop him, Jesus said, for no one who
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: does a miracle in my name can in the next
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: moment say anything bad about me. For whoever is not
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: against us is for us. Truly, I tell you, any
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: one who gives you a cup of war in my
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: name because you belong to the Messiah, will certainly not
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: lose their reward. If anyone causes one of these little
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: ones those who believe in me to stumble, it would
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: be better for them if a large millstone were hung
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: around their neck and they were thrown into the sea.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: It is better for you to enter life maimed than
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: with two hands to go into hell where the fire
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: never goes out. And if your foot causes you to stumble,
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: cut it off. It is better for you to enter
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: into hell. And if your eye causes you to stumble,
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: pluck it out. It is better for you to enter
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: the Kingdom of God with one eye than to have
• 54:01
  Speaker 2: two eyes and be thrown into hell, where the worms
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: that eat them do not die, and the fire is
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: not quenched. Everyone will be salted with fire. Salt is good,
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: it salty again? Have salt among yourselves, and be at
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: peace with each other, Mark chapter ten. And he left
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: there and went to the region of Judea and beyond
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: the Jordan, and crowds gathered to him again and again,
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: as was his custom, he taught them. And Pharisees came up,
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: and in order to test him, asked is it lawful
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: for a man to divorce his wife? He answered them,
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: what did Moses command you? They said, Moses allowed a
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: man to write a certificate of divorce and to send
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: her away. And Jesus said to them, because of your
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment. But from
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: the beginning of creation God made them male and female.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: And in the house, the disciples asked him again about
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: this matter, and he said to them, whoever divorces his
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: wife and marries another commits adultery against her. And if
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: And they were bringing children to him that he might
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: saw it, he was indignant and said to them, let
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: the children come to me. Do not hinder them, for
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: to you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: like a child shall not enter it. And he took
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: on them. And as he was setting out on his journey,
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him,
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: And Jesus said to him, why do you call me good?
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: No?
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: One is good except God alone. You know the commandments.
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal,
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: do not bear false witness, do not defraud. Honor your
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: father and mother. And he said to him, teacher, all
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: these I have kept from my youth. And Jesus, looking
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: at him, loved him and said to him, you lack
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: one thing, go sell all that you have and give
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven,
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: and come follow me. Disheartened by the saying, he went away, sorrowful,
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: for he had great possessions. And Jesus looked around and
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: said to his disciples, how difficult it will be for
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: those who have wealth to enter the Kingdom of God.
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: said to them again, children, how difficult it is to
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: enter the Kingdom of God. It is easier for a
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: camel to go through the eye of a needle than
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him, then,
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: who can be saved. Jesus looked at them and said,
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: with man, it is impossible, but not with God, for
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: all things are possible. With God. Peter began to say
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: to him, see, we have left everything and followed you.
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: Jesus said, truly, I say to you, there is no
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: one who has left house or brothers, or sisters, or
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: mother or father, or children, or lands for my sake
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: and for the gospel who will not receive a hundredfold
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: now in this time houses and brothers and sisters, and
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: mothers and children, and lands with persecutions, and in the
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: age to come eternal life. But many who are first
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: will be last, and the last first. And they were
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: walking ahead of them, and they were amazed, and those
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: who followed were afraid, and taking the twelve again, he
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: began to tell them what was to happen to him, saying, see,
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: we are going up to Jerusalem, and the son of
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: the scribes, and they will condemn him to death and
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: deliver him over to the gentiles, and they will mock
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: him and spit on him, and flog him and kill him.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: And after three days he will rise. And James and John,
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: to him, teacher, we want you to do for us
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: whatever we ask of you. And he said to them,
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: what do you want me to do for you? And
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 2: they said to him, grant us to sit one at
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: your right hand and one at your left in your glory.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: Jesus said to them, you do not know what you
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: I drink? Or to be baptized with a baptism with
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: which I am baptized? And they said to him, we
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: are able. And Jesus said to them, the cup that
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: I drink, you will drink, and with the baptism with
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: which I am baptized, you will be baptized. But to
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: sit at my right hand or at my left is
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: not mine to grant, but it is for those for
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: whom it has been prepared. And when the ten heard it,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: they began to be indignant at James and John, and
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: Jesus called them to him and said to them, you
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: know that those who are considered rulers of the gentiles
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: lured it over them, and their great ones exercise authority
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: over them. But it shall not be so among you.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: But whoever would be great among you must be your servant.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: And whoever would be first among you must be slave
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: of all. For even the son of Man came not
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: to be served, but to serve, and to give his
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: life as a ransom for many. And they came to Jericho.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: And as he was leaving Jericho with his disciples and
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: a great crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, the son of Timaeus,
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: was sitting by the roadside, and when he heard that
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: and say, Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent, but
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: he cried out all the more, son of David, have
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: mercy on me. And Jesus stopped and said, call him.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: And they called the blind man, saying to him, take heart,
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: get up. He is calling you. And throwing off his cloak,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: he sprang up and came to Jesus, and Jesus said
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: to him, what do you want me to do for you?
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 2: And the blind man said to him, Rabbi, let me
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: recover my sight. And Jesus said to him, go your way.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: Your faith has made you well. And immediately he recovered
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: his sight and followed him on the way mark chapter eleven.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: saying to them, go to the village ahead of you,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: and just as you enter it, you will find a
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: colt tied there which no one has ever ridden. Untie
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: it and bring it here. If anyone asks you why
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: are you doing this, say the Lord needs it and
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: will send it back here. Shortly they went and found
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: As they untied it, some people standing there asked, what
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: are you doing untying that colt? They answered as Jesus
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: had told them to, and the people let them go.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: cloaks over it, he sat on it. Many people spread
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: had cut in the fields. Those who went ahead and
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: those who followed shouted, Hosanna, Blessed is he who comes
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: in the name of the Lord. Blessed is the coming
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: kingdom of our father David Hosanna in the highest heaven.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 2: Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: looked around at everything, but since it was already late,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: he went out to Bethany with the twelve. The next day,
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing in
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: the distance a fig tree and leaf. He went to
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 2: he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: season for figs. Then he said to the tree, may
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: no one ever eat fruit from you again? And his
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: disciples heard him say it. On reaching ji Erusalem, Jesus
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 2: entered the temple courts and began driving out those who
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: the money changers and the benches of those selling doves,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: and would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 2: temple courts. And as he taught them, he said, is
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: it not written my house will be called a house
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: of prayer for all nations, But you have made it
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: a den of robbers. The chief priests and the teachers
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 2: of the law heard this and began looking for a
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: way to kill him, for they feared him. Because the
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: whole crowd was amazed at his teaching. When evening came,
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: Jesus and his disciples went out of the city in
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: the morning. As they went along, they saw the fig
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: tree withered from the roots. Peter remembered and said to Jesus, Rabbi, look,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: the fig tree you cursed has withered. Have faith in God.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 2: Jesus answered, truly, I tell you, if anyone says to
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: this mountain, go throw yourself into the sea, and does
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: not doubt in their heart, but believes that what they
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 2: that you have received it, and it will be yours.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: forgive them, so that your Father in Heaven may forgive
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: you your sins. They arrived again in Jerusalem, and while Jesus
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: was walking in the temple courts, the chief priests, the
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: teachers of the law, and the elders came to him.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: By what authority are you doing these things? They asked,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: And who gave you authority to do this? Jesus replied,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: John's baptism. Was it from heaven or of human origin?
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: Tell me? They discussed it among themselves and said, if
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: we say from heaven, you will ask, then why didn't
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: you believe him? But if we say of human origin,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: they feared the people, for every one held that John
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: really was a prophet. So they answered, Jesus, we don't know.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: Jesus said, neither will I tell you by what authority
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: I am doing these things Mark chapter twelve. Jesus then
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: began to speak to them in parables. A man planted
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 2: pit for the wine press, and built a watch tower.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: to another place. At harvest time, he sent a servant
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: to the tenants to collect from them some of the
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: fruit of the vineyard. But they seized him, beat him,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: and send him away empty handed. Then he sent another
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: servant to them. They struck this man on the head
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: and treated him shamefully. He sent still another, and that
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: one they killed. He sent many others. Some of them
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: they beat, others they killed. He had one left to send,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: a son, whom he loved. He sent him last of all, saying,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: they will respect my son. But the tenants said to
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 2: one another, this is the heir. Come, let's kill him,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: and the inheritance will be ours. So they took him
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: What then will the owner of the vineyard do? He
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: will come and kill those tenants and give the vineyard
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: to others. Haven't you read this passage of scripture? The
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. The Lord
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: Then the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: the elders looked for a way to arrest him, because
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: they knew he had spoken the parable against them. But
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: they were afraid of the crowd, so they left him
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: and went away. Later they sent some of the Pharisees
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: and Herodians to Jesus to catch him. In his words.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: They came to him and said, teacher, we know that
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: you are a man of integrity. You aren't swayed by
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: others because you pay no attention to who they are.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: But you teach the way of God in accordance with
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 2: the truth. Is it right to pay the imperial tax
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: to Caesar or not should we pay? Or shouldn't we?
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. Why are you trying to
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: trap me? He asked, bring me a denarius and let
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: me look at it. They brought the coin, and he
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: asked them whose image is this? And whose inscription Caesar's?
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 2: They replied. Then Jesus said to them, give back to
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's?
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: And they were amazed at him. Then the sadducees, who
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. Teacher,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 2: they said, Moses wrote for us that if a man's
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, the
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: his brother. Now there were seven brothers. The first one
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: married and died without leaving any children. The second one
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: It was the same with the third. In fact, none
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: of the seven left any children. Last of all, the
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: woman died too at the resurrection. Whose wife will she
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: be since the seven were married to her? Jesus replied,
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: are you not in error? Because you do not know
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 2: the scriptures or the power of God. When the dead rise,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. They
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 2: will be like the angels in heaven. Now about the
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: dead rising, have you not read in the Book of Moses,
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: in the account of the Burning Bush, how God said
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: to him, I am the God of Abraham, the God
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. He is not
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: the God of the dead, but of the living. You
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: are badly mistaken. One of the teachers of the law
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: them a good answer, he asked him, of all of
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: the commandments, which is the most important. The most important one,
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: answered Jesus, is this here o Israel, the Lord, our God.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 2: The Lord is one. Love the Lord your God, with
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 2: all your heart, and with all your soul, and with
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: all your mind, and with all your strength. The second
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 2: is this, love your neighbor as yourself. There is no
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: commandment greater than these, Well said teacher. The man replied,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: you are right in saying that God is one, and
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 2: there is no other but him. To love Him with
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: all your heart, with all your understanding, and with all
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: your strength, And to love your neighbor as yourself is
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices. When Jesus
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him,
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: you are not far from the Kingdom of God. And
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 2: from then on no one dared ask him any more questions.
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 2: While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he asked,
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: why do the teachers of the law say that the
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: Messiah is the son of David. David himself, speaking by
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit, declared the Lord said to my Lord,
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: sit at my right hand until I put your enemies
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: under your feet. David himself calls him Lord, How then
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: can he be his son? The large crowd listened to
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: him with delight. As he taught, Jesus said, watch out
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 2: for the teachers of the law. They like to walk
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: around in flowing robes and be greeted with respect in
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: the market places, and have the most important seats in
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 2: the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. They
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: devour widow's houses, and for a show make lengthy prayers.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: These men will be punished most severely. Jesus sat down
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 2: opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: rich people threw in large amounts, but a poor widow
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: came and put in two very small copper coins worth
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 2: only a few cents. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, truly,
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: I tell you, this poor widow has put more into
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: the treasury than all the others. They all gave out
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 2: of their wealth, but she, out of her poverty, put
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: in everything all she had to live on Mark chapter thirteen.
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: said to him, look, teacher, what massive stones, what magnificent buildings?
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: Do you see? All these great buildings, replied Jesus, not
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: one stone here will be left on another. Every one
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: will be thrown down. As Jesus was sitting on the
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter James John and
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: Andrew asked him privately, tell us when will these things happen,
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: and what will be the sign that they are all
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: about to be fulfilled. Jesus said to them, watch out
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: that no one deceives you. Many will come in my
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: name claiming I am he, and will deceive many. When
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: you hear of wars and rumors of wars. Do not
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places and famines.
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: These are the beginning of birth pains. You must be
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: on your guard. You will be handed over to the
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: local councils and flogged in the synagogues. On account of me.
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: You will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: and the Gospel must first be preached to all nations.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 2: worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: given you at the time, for it is not you
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: speaking but the Holy Spirit. Brother will betray brother to
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: death and to father his child. Children will rebel against
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: their parents and have them put to death. Everyone will
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: hate you because of me, But the one who stands
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: firm to the end will be saved. When you see
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: the abomination that causes desolation standing where it does not belong,
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: let the reader understand. Then, Let those who are in
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: Let no one in the field go back to get
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 2: their cloak. How dreadful it will be in those days
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: for pregnant women and nursing mothers. Pray that this will
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: not take place in winter, because those will be the
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 2: days of distress, unequaled from the beginning when God created
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: the world until now, and never to be equalled again.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: If the Lord had not cut short those days, no
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 2: one would survive. But for the sake of the elect
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 2: whom He has chosen, he has shortened them. At that time.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: If anyone says to you, look here is the Messiah,
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: or look there he is, do not believe it, for
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. So
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 2: be on your guard. I have told you everything ahead
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: of time. But in those days following that distress, the
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 2: sun will be darkened and the moon will not give
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: its light. The stars will fall from the sky, and
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: the heavenly bodies will be shaken. At that time, people
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: will see the Sun of Men coming in clouds with
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: great power and glory, and he will send his angels
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 2: to gather his elect from the four winds, from the
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: ends of the earth to the ends of the heaven.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 2: Now learn this lesson from the fig tree. As soon
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 2: you know that summer is near. Even so, when you
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: see these things happening, you know that it is near
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: right at the door. Truly, I tell you this generation
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: never pass away. But about that day or hour, no
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 2: one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the son,
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 2: but only the father. Be on guard, be alert. You
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 2: do not know when that time will come. It's like
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: a man going away. He leaves his house and puts
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 2: tells the one at the door to keep watch. Therefore,
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: keep watch, because you do not know when the owner
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: of the house will come back, whether in the evening
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 2: What I say to you, I say to everyone watch
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 2: Mark Chapter fourteen. Now the Passover and the Festival of
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: unleavened bread were only two days away, and the chief
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: priests and the teachers of the law were scheming to
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 2: arrest Jesus secretly and kill him. But not during the festival,
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: they said, or the people may riot. While he was
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: of very expensive perfume made of pure nard. She broke
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: the jar and poured the perfume on his head. Some
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: of those present were saying indignantly to one another, why
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: this waste of perfume? It could have been sold for
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: more than a year's wages, and the money given to
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 2: the poor, and they rebuked her harshly. Leave her alone,
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 2: said Jesus, why are you bothering her? She has done
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: a beautiful thing to me. The poor you will always
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 2: have with you, and you can help them any time
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 2: you want, but you will not always have me. She
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand,
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 2: to prepare for my burial. Truly, I tell you, wherever
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: the Gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: done will also be told in memory of her. Then
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 2: Judas Is Scariot, one of the Twelve, went to the
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: chief priests to betray Jesus to them. They were delighted
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: to hear this and promised to give him money, so
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 2: he watched for an opportunity to hand him over. On
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: the first day of the festival of unleavened Bread, when
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 2: it was customary to sacrifice the passover lamb, jesus disciples
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 2: asked him where do you want us to go and
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: make preparations for you to eat the passover? So he
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: sent two of his disciples, telling them, go into the city,
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 2: and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you.
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: Follow him, say to the owner of the house. He enters,
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: the teacher asks where is my guest room where I
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 2: may eat the Passover with my disciples. He will show
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 2: you to a large room upstairs, furnished and ready make
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 2: preparations for us there. The disciples left went into the
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 2: city and found things just as Jesus had told them,
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 2: so they prepared the passover. When evening came, Jesus arrived
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 2: with the twelve. While they were reclining at the table eating,
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: he said, truly, I tell you, one of you will
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: betray me one who is eating with me. They were saddened,
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: and one by one they said to him, surely you
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 2: don't mean me. It is one of the twelve, he replied,
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 2: one who dips bread into the bowl with me. The
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 2: son of Man will go, just as it is written
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 2: about him. But woe to that man who betrays the
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 2: son of Man. It would be better for him if
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 2: he had not been born. While they were eating, Jesus
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 2: took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: it and gave it to his disciples, saying, take it,
• 1:23:42
  Speaker 2: this is my body. Then he took a cup, and
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: when he had given thanks, he gave it to them,
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: and they all drank from it. This is my blood
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 2: of the covenant, which is poured out for many. He
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: said to them, Truly, I tell you, I will not
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 2: drink again from the fruit of the vine until that
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 2: day when I drink it new in the Kingdom of God.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: When they had sung a hymn, they went out to
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 2: the mount of Olives. You will all fall away, Jesus
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 2: told them, for it is written I will strike the shepherd,
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 2: and the sheep will be scattered. But after I have risen,
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: I will go ahead of you. Into galilee. Peter declared,
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: even if all fall away, I will not truly I
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 2: tell you. Jesus answered to day, yes to night, before
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: the rooster crows twice, you yourself will disown me three times.
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 2: But Peter insisted emphatically, even if I have to die
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 2: with you, I will never disown you, and all the
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 2: others said the same. They went to a place called Gisthemone,
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 2: and Jesus said to his descide piples, sit here while
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: I pray. He took Peter, James, and John along with him,
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 2: and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. My
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 2: soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 2: He said to them, stay here and keep watch. Going
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 2: a little further, he fell to the ground and prayed that,
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: if possible, the hour might pass from him. Papa, Father,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 2: he said, everything is possible for you take this cup
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 2: from me, Yet not what I will, but what you will.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. Simon,
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: he said to Peter, are you asleep? Couldn't you keep
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: watch for one hour? Watch and pray so that you
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: will not fall into dimptation. The spirit is willing, but
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: the flesh is weak. Once more, he went away and
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: prayed the same thing. When he came back, he again
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: found them sleeping. Because their eyes were heavy, they did
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: not know what to say to him. Returning the third time,
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: he said to them, are you still sleeping and resting enough?
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: The hour has come. Look, the son of man is
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: delivered into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us go.
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 2: Here comes my betrayer. Just as he was speaking Judas,
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 2: one of the twelve appeared. With him was a crowd
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests,
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 2: the teachers of the law, and the elders. Now the
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 2: betrayer had arranged a signal with them, the one I
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: kiss is the man, arrest him and lean him away
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 2: under guard. Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, Rabbi
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: and kissed him. The men seized Jesus and arrested him.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: Then one of those standing near drew his sword and
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 2: struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 2: Am I, leading a rebellion, said Jesus that you have
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 2: come out with swords and clubs to capture me. Every
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: day I was with you teaching in the temple courts,
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: and you did not arrest me. But the scriptures must
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 2: be fulfilled. Then everyone deserted him and fled. A young
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 2: man wearing nothing but a linen garment was following Jesus.
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: When they seized him, he fled naked, leaving his garment behind.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: They took Jesus to the High Priest, and all the
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 2: chief priests, the elders, and the teachers of the law
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: came together. Peter followed him at a distance, right into
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 2: the courtyard of the High Priest. There he sat with
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: the guards and warmed himself at the fire. The chief
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: priests and the whole Sanhedron were looking for evidence against
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 2: Jesus so that they could put him to death, but
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: they did not find any. Many testified falsely against him,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 2: but their statements did not agree. Then some stood up
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 2: and gave this false testimony against him. We heard him say,
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 2: I will destroy this temple made with human hands, and
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 2: in three days will build another not made with hands.
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 2: Yet even then their testimony did not agree. Then the
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 2: high priests stood up before them and asked, Jesus, are
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: you not going to answer? What is this testimony that
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: these men are bringing against you? But Jesus remained silent
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: and gave no answer. The High Priest asked him, are
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: you the Messiah, the son of the blessed One? I am,
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 2: said Jesus, and you will see the son of men
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: coming on the clouds of heaven. The High Priest tore
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 2: his clothes. Why do we need any more witnesses, he asked,
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: you have heard the blasphemy? What do you think. They
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: all condemned him as worthy of death. Then some began
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: to spit at him. They blindfolded him, struck him with
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: their fists and said prophesy, and the guards took him
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 2: and beat him. While Peter was below in the courtyard,
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 2: one of the servant girls of the High Priest came by.
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 2: When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 2: You also were with that Nazarene Jesus, she said, But
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 2: he denied. I don't know or understand what you're talking about,
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 2: he said, and went out into the entryway. When the
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 2: servant girl saw him there, she said again to those
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 2: standing around, this fellow is one of them. Again he
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 2: denied it. After a little while, those standing near said
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 2: to Peter surely you are one of them, for you
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 2: are a Galilean. He began to call down curses, and
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 2: he swore to them, I don't know this man you're
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 2: talking about. Immediately the rooster crowed the second time. Then
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken to him before.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 2: The rooster crows twice. You will disown me three times,
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 2: and he broke down and wept. Mark chapter fifteen. Very
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 2: early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders,
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 2: the teachers of the law, and the whole Sanhedron made
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: their plans. So they bound Jesus, led him away, and
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 2: handed him over to Pilot. Are you the king of
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 2: the Jews, asked Pilot. You have said so, Jesus replied.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 2: The chief priests accused him of many things. So again
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 2: Pilot asked him, aren't you going to answer? See how
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 2: many things they are accusing you of? But Jesus still
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 2: made no reply, and Pilot was amazed. Now it was
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 2: the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 2: the people requested. A man called Barabbas was in prison
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 2: with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising.
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 2: The crowd came up and asked Pilot to do for
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 2: them what he usually did. Do you want me to
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 2: release to you the King of the Jews, asked Pilot,
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 2: knowing it was out of interest that the chief priests
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 2: had handed Jesus over to him. But the chief priests
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 2: stirred up the crowd to have Pilot release Barabas instead.
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 2: What shall I do then with the one you call
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 2: the King of the Jews, Pilot asked them, crucify him?
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 2: They shouted, why, what crime has he committed? Asked Pilot,
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 2: but they shouted all the louder, crucify him. Wanting to
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 2: satisfy the crowd, Pilot released Barabus to them. He had
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 2: Jesus flogged and handed him over to be crucified. The
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: soldiers led Jesus away into the palace, that is, the Praetorium,
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: and called together the whole company of soldiers. They put
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 2: a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: of thorns and set it on him, and they began
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 2: to call out to him, Hail King of the Jews.
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 2: Again and again. They struck him on the head with
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 2: a staff and spin on him, falling on their knees.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 2: They paid homage to him, and when they had mocked him,
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 2: they took off the purple robe and put his own
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 2: clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 2: A certain man from Syene, Simon, the father of Alexander
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 2: and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 2: the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 2: They brought Jesus to the place called Golgatha, which means
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 2: the place of the skull. Then they offered him wine
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 2: mixed with myrr but he did not take it, and
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 2: they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 2: to see what each would get. It was nine in
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 2: the morning when they crucified him. The written notice of
• 1:33:51
  Speaker 2: the charge against him read the King of the Jews.
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 2: They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 2: and one on his left. Those who passed by hurled
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, so, you
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 2: who are going to destroy the temple and build it
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 2: in three days, come down from the cross and save yourself.
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 2: In the same way, the chief priests and the teachers
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 2: of the law mocked him among themselves. He saved others,
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: they said, but he can save himself. Let this Messiah,
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 2: this King of Israel, come down now from the cross,
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 2: that we may see and believe. Those crucified with him
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 2: also heaped insults on him. At noon, darkness came over
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: the whole land until three in the afternoon. And at
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: three in the afternoon, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, eloi,
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 2: eloi lemma sabachthani, which means, my God, my God, why
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 2: have you forsaken me. When some of those standing near
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 2: heard this, they said, listen, he's calling Elijah. Someone ran
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: filled a sponge with wine vinegar and put it on
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 2: a staff and offered it to Jesus to drink. Now
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 2: leave him alone, Let's see if Elijah comes to take
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 2: him down, he said, with a loud cry. Jesus breathed
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 2: his last. The curtain of the temple was torn in
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 2: two from top to bottom. And when the centurion who
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 2: stood there in front of Jesus saw how he died,
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: he said, surely this man was the son of God.
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 2: Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 2: Mary Magdalen, Mary the mother of James the Younger and
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 2: of Joseph, and Salomee in Galilee. These women had followed
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 2: him and cared for his needs. Many other women who
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 2: had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 2: It was preparationation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath.
• 1:36:03
  Speaker 2: So as evening approached, Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: of the council, who was himself waiting for the Kingdom
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: of God, went boldly to Pilot and asked for Jesus's body.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: Pilot was surprised to hear that he was already dead.
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 2: Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died.
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 2: When he learned from the centurion that it was so,
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 2: he gave the body to Joseph. So Joseph brought some
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen,
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 2: and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock.
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 2: Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 2: Mary Magdalen and Mary the mother of Joseph, saw where
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 2: he was laid, Mark chapter sixteen. When the sabbath was over,
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 2: Mary Magdalen, Mary the mother of James, and Alomey brought
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 2: spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus's body.
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 2: Very early on the first day of the week, just
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 2: after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb,
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 2: and they asked each other, who will roll the stone
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 2: away from the entrance of the tomb. But when they
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 2: looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large,
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 2: had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 2: saw a young man dressed in a white robe, sitting
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 2: on the right side, and they were alarmed. Don't be alarmed,
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 2: he said, you are looking for Jesus, the Nazarene who
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 2: was crucified. He has risen. He is not here see
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 2: the place where they laid him. But go tell his
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 2: disciples and Peter. He is going ahead of you into Galilee.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 2: There you will see him just as he told you.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 2: Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 2: the tomb. They said nothing to anyone because they were afraid.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 2: When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week,
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 2: he appeared first to Mary Magdalen, out of whom he
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 2: had driven seven demons. She went and told those who
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 2: had been with him and who were mourning and weeping.
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she
• 1:38:27
  Speaker 2: had seen him, they did not believe it. Afterward, Jesus
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: appeared in a different form to two of them while
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 2: they were walking in the country. These returned and reported
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 2: it to the rest, but they did not believe them either. Later,
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 2: Jesus appeared to the eleven as they were eating. He
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 2: rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: refusal to believe those who had seen him. After he
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 2: had risen, he said to them, go to all the
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: world and preach the Gospel to all creation. Whoever believes
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 2: and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 2: believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: who believe in my name. They will drive out demons,
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 2: they will speak in new tongues. They will pick up
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 2: snakes with their hands, and when they drink deadly poison,
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 2: it will not hurt them at all. They will place
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 2: their hands on sick people, and they will get well.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 2: taken up into heaven, and he sat at the right
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 2: hand of God. Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere,
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 2: and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 2: by the signs that accompanied it.
