WEBVTT 00:53.760 --> 01:01.360 The beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God, as it is 01:01.360 --> 01:06.380 written in Isaiah the prophet, I will send my messenger ahead of you, 01:06.960 --> 01:13.280 who will prepare your way, a voice of one calling in the wilderness, prepare the way 01:13.280 --> 01:16.880 for the Lord, make straight paths for him. 01:20.280 --> 01:26.740 And so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of 01:26.740 --> 01:28.700 repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 01:29.620 --> 01:33.300 The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem went out to him. 01:35.220 --> 01:39.220 Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River. 01:40.300 --> 01:44.560 John wore clothing made of camel's hair, with a leather belt around his waist, 01:45.020 --> 01:47.840 and he ate locusts and wild honey. 01:48.580 --> 01:49.920 And this was his message. 01:50.680 --> 01:58.300 After me comes the one more powerful than I, the straps of whose sandals I am not 01:58.300 --> 02:00.180 worthy to stoop down and untie. 02:01.680 --> 02:07.720 I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit. 02:20.930 --> 02:26.770 At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the 02:26.770 --> 02:27.090 Jordan. 02:41.310 --> 02:47.730 Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and 02:47.730 --> 02:52.930 the Spirit descending on him like a dove, and a voice came from heaven. 02:54.250 --> 02:56.710 You are my son and my love. 02:57.190 --> 02:59.450 With you I am well pleased. 03:06.470 --> 03:11.630 At once the Spirit sent him out into the wilderness, and he was in the wilderness 03:11.630 --> 03:13.890 forty days, being tempted by Satan. 03:17.190 --> 03:21.030 He was with the wild animals and angels attended him. 03:39.970 --> 03:46.130 After John was put in prison, Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of 03:46.130 --> 03:46.490 God. 03:47.430 --> 03:49.670 The time has come, he said. 03:50.130 --> 03:52.210 The kingdom of God has come near. 03:52.810 --> 03:55.570 Repent and believe the good news. 04:00.250 --> 04:05.970 As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew 04:05.970 --> 04:09.070 casting a net into the lake, for they were fishing. 04:13.340 --> 04:18.220 Come, follow me, Jesus said, and I will send you out to fish for people. 04:19.520 --> 04:22.300 At once they left their nets and followed him. 04:26.760 --> 04:31.240 When he had gone a little farther, he saw James, son of Zebedee, and his 04:31.240 --> 04:33.780 brother John in a boat, preparing their nets. 04:34.740 --> 04:39.020 Without delay he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with 04:39.020 --> 04:40.860 the hired men and followed him. 04:48.660 --> 04:53.220 They went to Capernaum, and when the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the 04:53.220 --> 04:54.640 synagogue and began to teach. 04:59.650 --> 05:04.730 The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had 05:04.730 --> 05:07.210 authority, not as the teachers of the law. 05:08.270 --> 05:11.970 Just then a man in their synagogue, who was possessed by an impure spirit, 05:12.090 --> 05:15.450 cried out, What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? 05:15.830 --> 05:17.430 Have you come to destroy us? 05:17.770 --> 05:21.490 I know who you are, the Holy One of God. 05:22.250 --> 05:25.210 Be quiet, said Jesus sternly. 05:26.090 --> 05:27.710 Come out of him. 05:28.850 --> 05:34.130 The impure spirit shook the man violently and came out of him with a shriek. 05:35.390 --> 05:42.030 The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, What is this? 05:42.550 --> 05:45.510 A new teaching, and with authority? 05:46.110 --> 05:50.530 He even gives orders to impure spirits, and they obey him. 05:51.610 --> 05:55.350 News about him spread quickly over the whole region of Galilee. 05:56.770 --> 06:01.010 As soon as they left the synagogue, they went with James and John to the home 06:01.010 --> 06:02.250 of Simon and Andrew. 06:09.550 --> 06:14.130 Simon's mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they immediately told Jesus 06:14.130 --> 06:14.530 about it. 06:14.550 --> 06:18.870 So he went to her, took her hand, and helped her up. 06:21.670 --> 06:27.750 The fever left her, and she began to wait on him. 06:38.820 --> 06:43.400 That evening, after sunset, the people brought to Jesus all the sick and 06:43.400 --> 06:44.340 demon-possessed. 06:45.240 --> 06:49.960 The whole town gathered at the door, and Jesus healed many who had various 06:49.960 --> 06:50.380 diseases. 06:51.100 --> 06:56.240 He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak, 06:56.660 --> 06:58.600 because they knew who he was. 07:10.710 --> 07:16.250 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, 07:16.550 --> 07:19.350 and went off to a solitary place where he prayed. 07:27.200 --> 07:33.560 Simon and his companions went to look for him, and when they found him, they 07:33.560 --> 07:36.280 exclaimed, Everyone is looking for you. 07:37.960 --> 07:43.880 Jesus replied, Let us go somewhere else, to the nearby villages, so I can preach 07:43.880 --> 07:44.540 there also. 07:44.920 --> 07:46.660 That is why I have come. 07:48.560 --> 07:52.860 So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving 07:52.860 --> 07:53.600 out demons. 08:03.380 --> 08:08.820 A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, If you are willing, 08:09.300 --> 08:10.680 you can make me clean. 08:11.840 --> 08:12.940 Jesus was indignant. 08:13.780 --> 08:16.880 He reached out his hand and touched the man. 08:17.640 --> 08:19.020 I am willing, he said. 08:20.180 --> 08:21.040 Be clean. 08:24.840 --> 08:28.060 Immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed. 08:29.240 --> 08:32.160 Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning. 08:33.580 --> 08:38.780 See that you don't tell this to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest, 08:38.780 --> 08:43.280 and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing as a 08:43.280 --> 08:44.200 testimony to them. 08:48.950 --> 08:52.810 Instead, he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. 08:53.790 --> 08:59.550 As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly, but stayed outside in lonely 08:59.550 --> 09:00.090 places. 09:01.050 --> 09:04.150 Yet the people still came to him from everywhere. 09:10.060 --> 09:15.640 A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had 09:15.640 --> 09:16.090 come home. 09:18.720 --> 09:23.180 They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside 09:23.180 --> 09:26.480 the door, and he preached the word to them. 09:29.220 --> 09:33.780 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 09:40.020 --> 09:44.900 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening 09:44.900 --> 09:46.200 in the roof above Jesus. 09:50.790 --> 09:56.390 By digging through it, and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. 10:04.380 --> 10:10.560 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, Son, your sins are 10:10.560 --> 10:10.880 forgiven. 10:12.380 --> 10:16.180 Now, some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 10:16.640 --> 10:18.360 why does this fellow talk like that? 10:19.540 --> 10:20.820 He's blaspheming. 10:21.140 --> 10:23.680 Who can forgive sins but God alone? 10:24.640 --> 10:29.420 Immediately, Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their 10:29.420 --> 10:32.980 hearts, and he said to them, why are you thinking these things? 10:35.720 --> 10:41.740 Which is easier, to say to this paralyzed man, your sins are forgiven, or to say, 10:42.180 --> 10:44.160 get up, take your mat and walk? 10:45.580 --> 10:50.840 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins. 10:52.300 --> 10:59.920 So he said to the man, I tell you, get up, take your mat, and go home. 11:06.960 --> 11:12.060 He got up, took his mat, and walked out in full view of them all. 11:13.520 --> 11:18.560 This amazed everyone, and they praised God, saying, we've never seen anything 11:18.560 --> 11:19.260 like this. 11:31.470 --> 11:33.990 Once again, Jesus went out beside the lake. 11:34.570 --> 11:37.910 A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them. 11:43.830 --> 11:48.330 As he walked along, he saw Levi, son of Alphaeus, sitting at the tax 11:48.330 --> 11:49.110 collector's booth. 12:00.280 --> 12:02.280 Follow me, Jesus told him. 12:09.190 --> 12:11.710 And Levi got up and followed him. 12:16.120 --> 12:20.860 While Jesus was having dinner at Levi's house, many tax collectors and sinners 12:20.860 --> 12:24.800 were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 12:25.660 --> 12:29.740 When the teachers of the law, who were Pharisees, saw him eating with the sinners 12:29.740 --> 12:35.040 and tax collectors, they asked his disciples, why does he eat with tax 12:35.040 --> 12:35.980 collectors and sinners? 12:37.060 --> 12:42.820 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, it is not the healthy who need a doctor, 12:43.080 --> 12:43.860 but the sick. 12:44.800 --> 12:48.120 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. 12:51.800 --> 12:54.840 Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. 12:55.660 --> 13:00.360 Some people came and asked Jesus, how is it that John's disciples and the 13:00.360 --> 13:03.700 disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours are not? 13:04.680 --> 13:10.380 Jesus answered, how can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? 13:11.340 --> 13:14.540 They cannot, so long as they have him with them. 13:15.600 --> 13:18.520 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them. 13:18.540 --> 13:20.980 On that day they will fast. 13:21.920 --> 13:27.220 No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, otherwise the new piece 13:27.220 --> 13:30.440 will pull away from the old, making the tear worse. 13:30.920 --> 13:36.160 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins, otherwise the wine will burst 13:36.160 --> 13:40.000 the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. 13:41.000 --> 13:45.500 No, they pour new wine into new wineskins. 14:11.970 --> 14:14.730 One Sabbath, Jesus was going through the grain fields. 14:16.210 --> 14:20.350 And as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. 14:23.650 --> 14:28.270 The Pharisees said to him, look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the 14:28.270 --> 14:28.490 Sabbath? 14:29.170 --> 14:34.010 He answered, have you never read what David did when he and his companions were 14:34.010 --> 14:35.190 hungry and in need? 14:40.250 --> 14:45.370 In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the 14:45.370 --> 14:48.890 consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. 14:49.230 --> 14:51.090 And he also gave some to his companions. 14:53.510 --> 14:59.210 Then he said to them, the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 14:59.790 --> 15:03.290 So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath. 15:26.220 --> 15:30.360 Another time, Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand 15:30.360 --> 15:30.800 was there. 15:32.220 --> 15:37.220 Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely 15:37.220 --> 15:39.020 to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. 15:40.200 --> 15:44.140 Jesus said to the man with a shriveled hand, stand up in front of everyone. 15:47.000 --> 15:50.640 Then Jesus asked them, which is lawful on the Sabbath? 15:51.240 --> 15:53.740 To do good or to do evil? 15:54.660 --> 15:57.080 To save life or to kill? 15:59.220 --> 16:00.760 But they remained silent. 16:02.640 --> 16:07.080 He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn 16:07.080 --> 16:10.960 hearts, said to the man, stretch out your hand. 16:13.120 --> 16:17.460 He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. 16:21.240 --> 16:25.620 Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might 16:25.620 --> 16:26.500 kill Jesus. 16:31.320 --> 16:36.540 Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee 16:36.540 --> 16:36.880 followed. 16:38.460 --> 16:42.680 When they heard about all he was doing, many people came to him from Judea, 16:42.880 --> 16:47.780 Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions across the Jordan, and around Tyre and Sidon. 16:50.160 --> 16:54.780 Because of the crowd, he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for 16:54.780 --> 16:58.440 him, to keep the people from crowding him, for he had healed many. 16:59.080 --> 17:02.320 So that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him. 17:04.080 --> 17:08.500 Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, 17:09.300 --> 17:11.180 You are the Son of God! 17:12.200 --> 17:15.920 But he gave them strict orders not to tell others about him. 17:21.470 --> 17:27.070 Jesus went up on a mountainside, and called to him those he wanted, 17:27.370 --> 17:28.910 and they came to him. 17:29.570 --> 17:33.750 He appointed twelve that they might be with him, and that he might send them out 17:33.750 --> 17:36.310 to preach, and to have authority to drive out demons. 17:42.250 --> 17:43.790 These are the twelve he appointed. 17:45.590 --> 17:47.870 Simon, to whom he gave the name Peter. 17:49.010 --> 17:51.490 James, son of Zebedee, and his brother John. 17:52.090 --> 17:56.510 To them he gave the name Boanerges, which means Sons of Thunder. 17:57.290 --> 18:07.710 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James, son of Alphaeus, 18:09.070 --> 18:16.710 Thaddeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. 18:44.780 --> 18:49.720 Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his 18:49.720 --> 18:51.380 disciples were not even able to eat. 18:52.580 --> 18:55.980 When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, 18:56.040 --> 18:58.320 for they said, He is out of his mind. 19:15.320 --> 19:20.340 And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, He is possessed by 19:20.340 --> 19:20.980 Beelzebul. 19:22.160 --> 19:25.400 By the prince of demons he is driving out demons. 19:27.200 --> 19:31.220 So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables. 19:32.860 --> 19:34.900 How can Satan drive out Satan? 19:37.100 --> 19:41.940 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 19:42.320 --> 19:47.540 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 19:48.520 --> 19:52.720 And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand. 19:53.600 --> 19:55.120 His end has come. 19:56.640 --> 20:01.620 In fact, no one can enter a strongman's house without first tying him up. 20:02.180 --> 20:04.220 Then he can plunder the strongman's house. 20:07.300 --> 20:12.520 Truly, I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they 20:12.520 --> 20:12.820 utter. 20:13.620 --> 20:21.160 But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven. 20:22.140 --> 20:25.000 They are guilty of an eternal sin. 20:26.100 --> 20:30.960 He said this because they were saying, He has an impure spirit. 20:37.220 --> 20:39.940 Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. 20:40.820 --> 20:43.740 Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. 20:47.820 --> 20:52.920 A crowd was sitting around him and they told him, Your mother and brothers are 20:52.920 --> 20:54.640 outside looking for you. 20:55.400 --> 20:57.460 Who are my mother and my brothers? 20:57.820 --> 20:58.260 He asked. 21:08.450 --> 21:14.470 Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, Here are my mother 21:14.470 --> 21:15.330 and my brothers. 21:17.550 --> 21:24.150 Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother. 21:32.580 --> 21:35.220 Again, Jesus began to teach by the lake. 21:39.820 --> 21:45.620 The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in 21:45.620 --> 21:49.860 it out on the lake while all the people were along the shore at the water's edge. 21:51.220 --> 21:58.120 He taught them many things by parables and in his teaching said, Listen, a farmer 21:58.120 --> 21:59.700 went out to sow his seed. 22:02.880 --> 22:08.040 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path and the birds 22:08.040 --> 22:08.940 came and ate it up. 22:12.580 --> 22:16.480 Some fell on rocky places where it did not have much soil. 22:17.680 --> 22:20.100 It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow. 22:20.820 --> 22:25.440 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched and they withered because they 22:25.440 --> 22:26.080 had no root. 22:27.460 --> 22:33.180 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants so that they did 22:33.180 --> 22:34.000 not bear grain. 22:35.060 --> 22:37.540 Still other seed fell on good soil. 22:38.520 --> 22:45.980 It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, 22:46.240 --> 22:47.620 some a hundred times. 22:51.740 --> 22:56.580 Then Jesus said, Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear. 23:00.460 --> 23:06.000 When he was alone, twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables. 23:07.980 --> 23:14.500 He told them, The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on 23:14.500 --> 23:20.080 the outside everything is said in parables so that they may be ever seeing, 23:20.280 --> 23:24.420 but never perceiving, and ever hearing, but never understanding. 23:25.160 --> 23:27.740 Otherwise, they might turn and be forgiven. 23:29.960 --> 23:34.100 Then Jesus said to them, Don't you understand this parable? 23:35.180 --> 23:37.220 How then will you understand any parable? 23:39.720 --> 23:42.200 The farmer sows the word. 23:43.140 --> 23:47.320 Some people are like seed along the path where the word is sown. 23:47.960 --> 23:52.600 As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. 23:53.220 --> 23:59.360 Others, like seed, sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with 23:59.360 --> 24:03.820 joy, but since they have no root, they last only a short time. 24:04.580 --> 24:09.180 When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 24:09.980 --> 24:15.520 Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word, but the worries of this 24:15.520 --> 24:20.320 life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desires for other things come in 24:20.320 --> 24:23.060 and choke the word, making it unfruitful. 24:25.440 --> 24:32.880 Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a 24:32.880 --> 24:39.320 crop, some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown. 24:42.380 --> 24:47.500 He said to them, Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? 24:48.400 --> 24:50.400 Instead, don't you put it on its stand? 24:51.380 --> 24:57.620 For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is 24:57.620 --> 24:59.440 meant to be brought out into the open. 25:00.120 --> 25:03.560 If anyone has ears to hear, let them hear. 25:04.820 --> 25:07.680 Consider carefully what you hear, he continued. 25:08.440 --> 25:12.920 With the measure you use, it will be measured to you and even more. 25:14.020 --> 25:15.980 Whoever has will be given more. 25:16.660 --> 25:21.020 Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 25:21.980 --> 25:25.840 He also said, This is what the kingdom of God is like. 25:27.380 --> 25:29.580 A man scatters seed on the ground. 25:30.200 --> 25:34.900 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, 25:35.260 --> 25:36.420 though he does not know how. 25:37.180 --> 25:42.280 All by itself, the soil produces grain, first the stalk, then the head, 25:42.560 --> 25:44.160 then the full kernel in the head. 25:44.820 --> 25:49.580 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has 25:49.580 --> 25:49.760 come. 25:50.500 --> 25:54.620 Again he said, What shall we say the kingdom of God is like? 25:55.500 --> 25:58.020 Or what parable shall we use to describe it? 25:58.700 --> 26:02.720 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. 26:03.220 --> 26:09.700 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such 26:09.700 --> 26:12.880 big branches that the birds can perch in its shade. 26:14.360 --> 26:19.240 With many similar parables, Jesus spoke the word to them as much as they could 26:19.240 --> 26:19.860 understand. 26:21.000 --> 26:26.300 He did not say anything to them without using a parable, but when he was alone 26:26.300 --> 26:29.140 with his own disciples, he explained everything. 26:33.720 --> 26:39.500 That day, when evening came, he said to his disciples, Let us go over to the other 26:39.500 --> 26:39.980 side. 26:40.920 --> 26:45.140 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along just as he was, in the boat. 26:45.840 --> 26:47.440 There were also other boats with him. 26:50.300 --> 26:55.840 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat so that it was nearly 26:55.840 --> 26:56.460 swamped. 27:05.630 --> 27:08.170 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. 27:08.890 --> 27:14.110 The disciples woke him and said to him, Teacher, don't you care if we drown? 27:21.690 --> 27:26.170 He rebuked the wind and said to the waves, Quiet! 27:27.070 --> 27:28.110 Be still! 27:37.930 --> 27:41.820 Then the wind died down, and it was completely calm. 27:46.540 --> 27:49.700 He said to his disciples, Why are you so afraid? 27:50.340 --> 27:52.420 Do you still have no faith? 27:54.300 --> 27:58.040 They were terrified and asked each other, Who is this? 27:59.220 --> 28:02.080 Even the wind and the waves obey him. 28:09.420 --> 28:12.480 They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes. 28:13.560 --> 28:17.660 When Jesus had gone out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the 28:17.660 --> 28:18.520 tombs to meet him. 28:18.960 --> 28:23.460 This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a 28:23.460 --> 28:28.560 chain, for he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and 28:28.560 --> 28:30.140 broke the irons on his feet. 28:30.800 --> 28:32.940 No one was strong enough to subdue him. 28:33.800 --> 28:39.140 Night and day among the tombs and in the hills, he would cry out and cut himself 28:39.140 --> 28:39.860 with stones. 28:41.040 --> 28:45.680 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of 28:45.680 --> 28:45.820 him. 28:46.480 --> 28:51.700 He shouted at the top of his voice, What do you want with me, Jesus, 28:52.180 --> 28:54.500 son of the Most High God? 28:54.740 --> 28:57.860 In God's name, don't torture me! 28:59.940 --> 29:05.040 But Jesus had said to him, Come out of this man, you impure spirit. 29:06.240 --> 29:09.620 Then Jesus asked him, What is your name? 29:10.180 --> 29:14.460 My name is Legion, he replied, for we are many. 29:15.260 --> 29:20.340 And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area. 29:27.900 --> 29:31.840 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. 29:32.600 --> 29:38.220 The demons begged Jesus, Send us among the pigs, allow us to go into them. 29:43.700 --> 29:49.400 He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. 29:49.880 --> 29:55.220 The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake 29:55.220 --> 29:56.200 and were drowned. 29:59.760 --> 30:03.680 Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside. 30:04.960 --> 30:07.240 And the people went out to see what had happened. 30:08.520 --> 30:13.200 When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of 30:13.200 --> 30:18.760 demons, sitting there, dressed, and in his right mind, and they were 30:18.760 --> 30:19.200 afraid. 30:20.060 --> 30:24.220 Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man, 30:24.680 --> 30:26.280 and told about the pigs as well. 30:27.960 --> 30:31.420 Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region. 30:37.240 --> 30:37.400 Come on, let's go. 30:41.480 --> 30:45.720 As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed 30:45.720 --> 30:47.100 begged to go with him. 30:47.880 --> 30:52.620 Jesus did not let him, but said, Go home to your own people and tell them 30:52.620 --> 30:56.440 how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you. 30:59.500 --> 31:04.140 So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for 31:04.140 --> 31:06.980 him, and all the people were amazed. 31:19.180 --> 31:23.000 When Jesus had again crossed over by boat to the other side of the lake, 31:23.680 --> 31:26.760 a large crowd gathered around him while he was by the lake. 31:27.760 --> 31:32.180 Then one of the synagogue leaders named Jairus came, and when he saw Jesus, 31:32.500 --> 31:33.540 he fell at his feet. 31:34.340 --> 31:38.480 He pleaded earnestly with him, My little daughter is dying. 31:39.260 --> 31:43.520 Please, come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live. 31:44.180 --> 31:45.760 So Jesus went with him. 31:47.620 --> 31:52.600 A large crowd followed and pressed around him, and a woman was there who had been 31:52.600 --> 31:54.960 subject to bleeding for twelve years. 31:55.640 --> 32:00.260 She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors, and had spent all 32:00.260 --> 32:00.820 she had. 32:01.340 --> 32:04.020 Yet instead of getting better, she grew worse. 32:04.660 --> 32:09.520 When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his 32:09.520 --> 32:14.640 cloak, because she thought, If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed. 32:16.420 --> 32:21.360 Immediately her bleeding stopped, and she felt in her body that she was 32:21.360 --> 32:22.680 freed from her suffering. 32:23.680 --> 32:27.820 At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. 32:28.660 --> 32:32.680 He turned around in the crowd and asked, Who touched my clothes? 32:34.060 --> 32:38.700 You see the people crowding against you, his disciples answered, and yet you can 32:38.700 --> 32:40.260 ask, Who touched me? 32:41.720 --> 32:44.480 But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 32:45.200 --> 32:49.260 Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet, 32:49.880 --> 32:52.860 and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 32:53.640 --> 32:57.380 He said to her, Daughter, your faith has healed you. 32:58.020 --> 33:00.920 Go in peace and be freed from your suffering. 33:04.440 --> 33:08.740 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, 33:09.160 --> 33:10.020 the synagogue leader. 33:11.020 --> 33:13.020 Your daughter is dead, they said. 33:13.280 --> 33:14.720 Why bother the teacher any more? 33:15.820 --> 33:21.160 Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, Don't be afraid, just believe. 33:22.800 --> 33:27.820 He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James, and John, the brother of 33:27.820 --> 33:28.220 James. 33:28.940 --> 33:32.760 When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, 33:33.080 --> 33:35.780 with people crying and wailing loudly. 33:36.540 --> 33:39.720 He went in and said to them, Why all this commotion and wailing? 33:40.220 --> 33:42.680 The child is not dead, but asleep. 33:43.480 --> 33:44.680 But they laughed at him. 33:45.860 --> 33:49.920 After he put them all out, he took the child's father and mother, and the 33:49.920 --> 33:53.160 disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was. 33:54.080 --> 34:01.080 He took her by the hand, and said to her, Talitha cum, which means, Little girl, 34:01.500 --> 34:03.360 I say to you, get up. 34:25.910 --> 34:29.330 Immediately, the girl stood up and began to walk around. 34:30.410 --> 34:31.610 She was twelve years old. 34:47.360 --> 34:50.340 At this, they were completely astonished. 34:50.740 --> 34:56.040 He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her 34:56.040 --> 34:56.820 something to eat. 35:10.570 --> 35:14.850 Jesus left there, and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. 35:15.690 --> 35:20.230 When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him 35:20.230 --> 35:21.310 were amazed. 35:21.930 --> 35:23.650 Where did this man get these things? 35:23.850 --> 35:24.350 they asked. 35:24.970 --> 35:27.250 What's this wisdom that has been given him? 35:27.670 --> 35:30.570 What are these remarkable miracles he's performing? 35:30.930 --> 35:32.030 Isn't this the carpenter? 35:32.530 --> 35:35.750 Isn't this Mary's son, and the brother of James, Joseph? 35:35.750 --> 35:36.850 Judas and Simon? 35:37.190 --> 35:38.570 Aren't his sisters here with us? 35:38.950 --> 35:40.390 And they took offense at him. 35:41.390 --> 35:46.970 Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor, except in his own town, 35:47.610 --> 35:50.550 among his relatives, and in his own home. 35:51.510 --> 35:56.270 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people 35:56.270 --> 35:57.070 and heal them. 35:57.830 --> 36:00.970 He was amazed at their lack of faith. 36:03.710 --> 36:08.970 Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village, calling the twelve to 36:08.970 --> 36:09.190 him. 36:09.550 --> 36:13.830 He began to send them out, two by two, and gave them authority over impure 36:13.830 --> 36:14.290 spirits. 36:14.830 --> 36:16.230 These were his instructions. 36:17.890 --> 36:21.030 Take nothing for the journey, except a staff. 36:21.470 --> 36:24.710 No bread, no bag, no money in your belts. 36:25.210 --> 36:27.490 Wear sandals, but not an extra shirt. 36:28.970 --> 36:33.910 Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. 36:34.550 --> 36:38.450 And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, leave that place, 36:39.070 --> 36:43.030 and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them. 36:44.170 --> 36:47.210 They went out and preached that people should repent. 36:48.030 --> 36:53.650 They drove out many demons, and anointed many sick people with oil, and healed 36:53.650 --> 36:53.930 them. 36:59.350 --> 37:03.750 King Herod heard about this, but Jesus' name had become well known. 37:04.470 --> 37:09.430 Some were saying, John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that is why 37:09.430 --> 37:11.510 miraculous powers are at work in him. 37:12.210 --> 37:18.270 Others said he is Elijah, and still others claimed he is a prophet, like one of the 37:18.270 --> 37:19.550 prophets of long ago. 37:20.790 --> 37:26.350 But when Herod heard this, he said, John, whom I beheaded, has been raised 37:26.350 --> 37:27.130 from the dead. 37:28.350 --> 37:33.870 For Herod himself had given orders to have John arrested, and he had him bound and 37:33.870 --> 37:34.470 put in prison. 37:34.990 --> 37:39.490 He did this because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had 37:39.490 --> 37:39.810 married. 37:40.650 --> 37:44.450 For John had been saying to Herod, it is not lawful for you to have your 37:44.450 --> 37:45.250 brother's wife. 37:45.690 --> 37:50.610 So Herodias nursed a grudge against John and wanted to kill him, but he was not 37:50.610 --> 37:54.690 able to because Herod feared John and protected him, knowing him to be a 37:54.690 --> 37:56.450 righteous and holy man. 37:57.050 --> 38:01.590 When Herod heard John, he was greatly puzzled, yet he liked to listen to him. 38:07.310 --> 38:10.190 Finally, the opportune time came. 38:11.010 --> 38:15.590 On his birthday, Herod gave a banquet for his high officials and military commanders 38:15.590 --> 38:17.530 and the leading men of Galilee. 38:18.970 --> 38:24.510 When the daughter of Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner 38:24.510 --> 38:24.950 guests. 38:27.610 --> 38:33.070 The king said to the girl, ask me for anything you want, and I'll give it to 38:33.070 --> 38:33.350 you. 38:34.130 --> 38:35.550 But he promised her with an oath. 38:36.310 --> 38:40.630 Whatever you ask, I will give you, up to half my kingdom. 38:45.010 --> 38:48.610 She went out and said to her mother, what shall I ask for? 38:49.270 --> 38:52.150 The head of John the Baptist, she answered. 38:55.150 --> 38:58.430 At once, the girl hurried into the king with the request. 38:58.950 --> 39:04.630 I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter. 39:06.070 --> 39:11.210 The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner 39:11.210 --> 39:13.630 guests, he did not want to refuse her. 39:14.490 --> 39:18.390 So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John's head. 39:22.810 --> 39:28.850 The man went, beheaded John in the prison, and brought back his head on a platter. 39:29.710 --> 39:32.990 He presented it to the girl and she gave it to her mother. 39:34.430 --> 39:40.270 On hearing of this, John's disciples came and took his body and laid it in a tomb. 39:50.240 --> 39:54.860 The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and 39:54.860 --> 39:55.120 taught. 39:56.140 --> 40:00.200 Then, because so many people were coming and going that they didn't even have a 40:00.200 --> 40:05.320 chance to eat, he said to them, come with me by yourselves to a quiet 40:05.320 --> 40:07.380 place and get some rest. 40:08.680 --> 40:12.880 So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place. 40:12.880 --> 40:18.980 But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns 40:18.980 --> 40:20.460 and got there ahead of them. 40:22.560 --> 40:28.240 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they 40:28.240 --> 40:30.060 were like sheep without a shepherd. 40:30.780 --> 40:33.220 So he began teaching them many things. 40:34.240 --> 40:38.420 By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. 40:39.340 --> 40:43.440 This is a remote place, they said, and it's already very late. 40:44.480 --> 40:48.080 Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and 40:48.080 --> 40:50.380 villages and buy themselves something to eat. 40:51.160 --> 40:54.900 But he answered, you give them something to eat. 40:55.380 --> 40:59.420 They said to him, that would take more than half a year's wages. 41:00.060 --> 41:03.260 Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat? 41:04.420 --> 41:06.120 How many loaves do you have? 41:06.360 --> 41:06.820 He asked. 41:07.540 --> 41:08.160 Go and see. 41:09.240 --> 41:13.540 When they found out, they said, five and two fish. 41:14.300 --> 41:19.780 Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green 41:19.780 --> 41:20.300 grass. 41:21.000 --> 41:24.280 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. 41:25.620 --> 41:31.040 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks 41:31.040 --> 41:32.760 and broke the loaves. 41:35.220 --> 41:38.800 Then he gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people. 41:39.460 --> 41:41.820 He also divided the two fish among them all. 41:42.340 --> 41:44.280 They all ate and were satisfied. 41:45.400 --> 41:50.280 And the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and 41:50.280 --> 41:50.600 fish. 41:51.580 --> 41:55.340 The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand. 42:02.580 --> 42:07.580 Immediately, Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to 42:07.580 --> 42:09.800 Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. 42:10.920 --> 42:14.120 After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray. 42:16.120 --> 42:20.500 Later that night, the boat was in the middle of the lake and he was alone on 42:20.500 --> 42:20.840 land. 42:21.620 --> 42:26.060 He saw the disciples straining at the oars because the wind was against them. 42:27.900 --> 42:31.580 Shortly before dawn, he went out to them, walking on the lake. 42:32.380 --> 42:36.140 He was about to pass by them, but when they saw him walking on the lake, 42:36.520 --> 42:37.500 they thought he was a ghost. 42:38.040 --> 42:41.940 They cried out because they all saw him and were terrified. 42:43.180 --> 42:46.160 Immediately, he spoke to them and said, Take courage. 42:46.820 --> 42:47.440 It is I. 42:48.020 --> 42:48.840 Don't be afraid. 42:49.660 --> 42:53.320 Then he climbed into the boat and the wind died down. 42:54.580 --> 42:56.400 They were completely amazed. 42:57.340 --> 42:59.420 They had not understood about the loaves. 43:00.600 --> 43:02.140 Their hearts were hardened. 43:07.740 --> 43:12.280 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there. 43:13.580 --> 43:16.940 As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus. 43:17.360 --> 43:22.400 They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they 43:22.400 --> 43:23.120 heard he was. 43:23.700 --> 43:29.240 And wherever he went, into villages, towns or countryside, they placed the sick 43:29.240 --> 43:30.620 in the marketplaces. 43:31.220 --> 43:36.880 They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it 43:36.880 --> 43:37.880 were healed. 43:41.410 --> 43:46.070 The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem 43:46.070 --> 43:51.610 gathered around Jesus and saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were 43:51.610 --> 43:53.950 defiled, that is, unwashed. 43:54.890 --> 43:59.530 The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial 43:59.530 --> 44:01.930 washing, holding to the tradition of the elders. 44:02.470 --> 44:06.470 When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. 44:06.850 --> 44:12.250 And they observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers and 44:12.250 --> 44:12.650 kettles. 44:13.670 --> 44:19.510 So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, why don't your disciples live 44:19.510 --> 44:23.590 according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with defiled 44:23.590 --> 44:24.130 hands? 44:24.530 --> 44:29.350 He replied, Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites. 44:30.070 --> 44:35.690 As it is written, these people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far 44:35.690 --> 44:36.310 from me. 44:36.730 --> 44:38.530 They worship me in vain. 44:39.090 --> 44:42.090 Their teachings are merely human rules. 44:43.050 --> 44:49.110 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions. 44:50.290 --> 44:55.410 But he continued, you have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order 44:55.410 --> 44:57.050 to observe your own traditions. 44:57.870 --> 45:00.910 Moses said, honor your father and mother. 45:01.690 --> 45:06.110 And anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death. 45:06.910 --> 45:11.890 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their 45:11.890 --> 45:17.250 father or mother is Corban, that is, devoted to God, then you no longer let 45:17.250 --> 45:19.230 them do anything for their father or mother. 45:19.990 --> 45:24.610 Thus, you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. 45:25.250 --> 45:27.330 And you do many things like that. 45:29.050 --> 45:33.630 Again, Jesus called the crowd to him and said, listen to me, everyone, and 45:33.630 --> 45:39.210 understand this, nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. 45:39.690 --> 45:43.810 Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them. 45:48.100 --> 45:53.000 After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about 45:53.000 --> 45:53.620 this parable. 45:54.940 --> 45:56.280 Are you so dull? 45:56.660 --> 45:57.120 he asked. 45:57.480 --> 46:02.600 Don't you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them? 46:03.020 --> 46:08.560 For it doesn't go into their heart, but into their stomach, and then out of 46:08.560 --> 46:08.960 the body. 46:09.620 --> 46:13.440 In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean. 46:14.400 --> 46:15.000 He went on. 46:15.520 --> 46:18.440 What comes out of a person is what defiles them. 46:19.160 --> 46:24.200 For it is from within, out of a person's heart, that evil thoughts come. 46:24.800 --> 46:31.200 Sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, grief, malice, deceit, 46:31.540 --> 46:37.840 lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance, and folly, all these evils come from 46:37.840 --> 46:40.260 inside and defile a person. 46:44.000 --> 46:47.980 Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. 46:49.000 --> 46:54.380 He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it, yet he could not keep his 46:54.380 --> 46:55.200 presence secret. 46:56.060 --> 47:00.420 In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a woman whose little daughter was 47:00.420 --> 47:03.980 possessed by an impure spirit came and fell at his feet. 47:04.780 --> 47:09.140 The woman was a Greek, born in Syria and Phoenicia. 47:10.080 --> 47:13.540 She begged Jesus to drive the demon out of her daughter. 47:17.520 --> 47:23.800 First, let the children eat all they want, he told her, for it is not right to take 47:23.800 --> 47:26.760 the children's bread and toss it to the dogs. 47:28.520 --> 47:33.940 Lord, she replied, even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs. 47:37.210 --> 47:41.510 Then he told her, for such a reply, you may go. 47:42.950 --> 47:44.910 The demon has left your daughter. 47:47.270 --> 47:52.930 She went home and found her child lying on the bed and the demon gone. 48:06.450 --> 48:12.510 Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon down to the Sea of 48:12.510 --> 48:15.950 Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis. 48:16.890 --> 48:21.430 There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, 48:21.930 --> 48:25.090 and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him. 48:32.460 --> 48:38.220 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the 48:38.220 --> 48:39.000 man's ears. 48:40.000 --> 48:43.500 Then he spit and touched the man's tongue. 48:46.200 --> 48:52.640 He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, which means, 48:53.460 --> 48:54.040 be opened. 48:56.220 --> 49:03.700 At this, the man's ears were opened, his tongue was loosened, and he began to 49:03.700 --> 49:04.900 speak plainly. 49:08.240 --> 49:10.800 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. 49:13.380 --> 49:17.440 But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about him. 49:19.120 --> 49:21.360 People were overwhelmed with amazement. 49:22.320 --> 49:25.660 He has done everything well, they said. 49:26.300 --> 49:30.140 He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak. 49:37.020 --> 49:40.380 During those days, another large crowd gathered. 49:41.760 --> 49:45.740 Since they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and 49:45.740 --> 49:48.080 said, I have compassion for these people. 49:48.880 --> 49:52.660 They have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. 49:54.000 --> 49:59.320 If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them 49:59.320 --> 50:00.800 have come a long distance. 50:01.760 --> 50:06.640 His disciples answered, but where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread 50:06.640 --> 50:07.320 to feed them? 50:08.020 --> 50:09.580 How many loaves do you have? 50:09.940 --> 50:10.460 Jesus asked. 50:11.240 --> 50:12.920 Seven, they replied. 50:18.150 --> 50:21.550 He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. 50:25.640 --> 50:30.820 When he had taken the seven loaves and given thanks, he broke them 50:38.540 --> 50:41.840 and gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. 50:42.480 --> 50:43.260 And they did so. 50:47.740 --> 50:49.780 They had a few small fish as well. 50:50.900 --> 50:54.880 He gave thanks for them also and told the disciples to distribute them. 51:00.060 --> 51:02.560 The people ate and were satisfied. 51:08.480 --> 51:12.960 Afterwards, the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left 51:12.960 --> 51:13.280 over. 51:14.460 --> 51:16.260 About four thousand were present. 51:20.510 --> 51:25.830 After he had sent them away, he got into the boat with his disciples and went to 51:25.830 --> 51:27.250 the region of Dalmanutha. 51:30.990 --> 51:33.830 The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. 51:34.690 --> 51:37.770 To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven. 51:39.130 --> 51:45.130 He sighed deeply and said, Why does this generation ask for a sign? 51:46.090 --> 51:49.270 Truly, I tell you, no sign will be given to it. 51:49.830 --> 51:55.270 Then he left them, got back into the boat and crossed to the other side. 52:02.220 --> 52:07.240 The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with 52:07.240 --> 52:07.880 them in the boat. 52:08.900 --> 52:10.840 Be careful, Jesus warned them. 52:11.480 --> 52:14.680 Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod. 52:15.660 --> 52:20.200 They discussed this with one another and said, It is because we have no bread. 52:20.200 --> 52:25.740 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them, Why are you talking about having no 52:25.740 --> 52:26.120 bread? 52:28.460 --> 52:30.880 Do you still not see or understand? 52:31.520 --> 52:32.620 Are your hearts hardened? 52:33.420 --> 52:37.040 Do you have eyes but fail to see and ears but fail to hear? 52:37.700 --> 52:38.700 And don't you remember? 52:39.520 --> 52:44.460 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces 52:44.460 --> 52:45.300 did you pick up? 52:46.080 --> 52:47.560 Twelve, they replied. 52:50.200 --> 52:54.460 And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of 52:54.460 --> 52:55.500 pieces did you pick up? 52:56.380 --> 52:58.140 They answered, Seven. 52:59.220 --> 53:02.280 He said to them, Do you still not understand? 53:12.900 --> 53:18.780 They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to 53:18.780 --> 53:19.220 touch him. 53:21.060 --> 53:25.220 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. 53:29.760 --> 53:35.120 When he had spit on the man's eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, 53:35.620 --> 53:37.080 Do you see anything? 53:38.500 --> 53:42.280 He looked up and said, I see people. 53:43.080 --> 53:44.960 They look like trees walking around. 53:46.460 --> 53:49.220 Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. 53:54.900 --> 54:01.200 Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 54:03.940 --> 54:08.220 Jesus sent him home, saying, Don't even go into the village. 54:19.570 --> 54:23.890 Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. 54:24.690 --> 54:28.830 On the way, he asked them, Who do people say I am? 54:29.830 --> 54:35.490 They replied, Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and still others, 54:35.910 --> 54:36.630 one of the prophets. 54:39.230 --> 54:40.570 But what about you? 54:40.930 --> 54:41.390 He asked. 54:41.970 --> 54:43.410 Who do you say I am? 54:44.610 --> 54:47.230 Peter answered, You are the Messiah. 54:49.890 --> 54:52.610 Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him. 55:01.910 --> 55:07.390 He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be 55:07.390 --> 55:12.610 rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the teachers of the law, and that he 55:12.610 --> 55:16.510 must be killed, and after three days, rise again. 55:19.210 --> 55:25.550 He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 55:31.110 --> 55:36.770 But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. 55:36.770 --> 55:39.930 Get behind me, Satan, he said. 55:40.330 --> 55:45.530 You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns. 56:11.620 --> 56:17.460 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said, Whoever wants to 56:17.460 --> 56:23.200 be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 56:26.170 --> 56:31.530 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for 56:31.530 --> 56:34.210 me and for the gospel will save it. 56:35.750 --> 56:40.550 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 56:41.270 --> 56:44.510 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 56:48.400 --> 56:53.800 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, 56:54.540 --> 56:59.860 the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father's glory with 56:59.860 --> 57:00.800 the holy angels. 57:04.800 --> 57:11.240 And he said to them, Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste 57:11.240 --> 57:15.700 death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power. 57:25.750 --> 57:30.930 After six days, Jesus took Peter, James, and John with him and led them up a 57:30.930 --> 57:33.030 high mountain, where they were all alone. 57:39.460 --> 57:42.720 There he was transfigured before them. 57:43.220 --> 57:47.900 His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could 57:47.900 --> 57:48.440 bleach them. 57:52.200 --> 57:57.820 And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus. 58:00.920 --> 58:05.780 Peter said to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. 58:06.840 --> 58:12.340 Let us put up three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah. 58:13.700 --> 58:15.280 He did not know what to say. 58:15.900 --> 58:16.760 They were so frightened. 58:18.120 --> 58:22.760 Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud. 58:23.900 --> 58:27.500 This is my son, whom I love. 58:28.580 --> 58:29.420 Listen to him. 58:31.760 --> 58:37.500 Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except 58:37.500 --> 58:37.880 Jesus. 58:40.620 --> 58:45.320 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone 58:45.320 --> 58:48.860 what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 58:49.700 --> 58:55.040 They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what rising from the dead 58:55.040 --> 58:55.680 meant. 58:56.440 --> 59:01.580 And they asked him, Why did the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come 59:01.580 --> 59:02.040 first? 59:02.800 --> 59:08.720 Jesus replied, To be sure, Elijah does come first and restores all things. 59:09.500 --> 59:13.140 Why then is it written that the Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected? 59:14.920 --> 59:19.660 But I tell you, Elijah has come, and they have done to him everything they 59:19.660 --> 59:22.240 wished, just as it is written about him. 59:30.600 --> 59:35.060 When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, 59:35.280 --> 59:37.580 and the teachers of the law arguing with them. 59:38.760 --> 59:42.740 As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder, 59:43.260 --> 59:44.240 and ran to greet him. 59:45.900 --> 59:47.640 What are you arguing with them about? 59:47.960 --> 59:48.440 he asked. 59:49.240 --> 59:55.280 A man in the crowd answered, Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by 59:55.280 --> 59:57.180 a spirit that has robbed him of speech. 59:57.980 --> 01:00:00.580 Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. 01:00:01.420 --> 01:00:04.540 He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. 01:00:05.260 --> 01:00:08.940 I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not. 01:00:10.200 --> 01:00:15.660 You unbelieving generation, Jesus replied, How long shall I stay with you? 01:00:15.660 --> 01:00:17.740 How long shall I put up with you? 01:00:18.580 --> 01:00:19.620 Bring the boy to me. 01:00:20.660 --> 01:00:21.460 So they brought him. 01:00:22.580 --> 01:00:27.300 When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. 01:00:28.140 --> 01:00:31.600 He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth. 01:00:32.820 --> 01:00:37.160 Jesus asked the boy's father, How long has he been like this? 01:00:37.920 --> 01:00:39.520 From childhood, he answered. 01:00:40.160 --> 01:00:43.340 It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. 01:00:43.970 --> 01:00:47.560 But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us. 01:00:49.200 --> 01:00:55.860 If you can, said Jesus, everything is possible for one who believes. 01:00:56.940 --> 01:01:00.060 Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, I do believe. 01:01:00.660 --> 01:01:02.380 Help me overcome my unbelief. 01:01:03.380 --> 01:01:08.780 When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the impure spirit. 01:01:09.360 --> 01:01:15.220 You deaf and mute spirit, he said, I command you, come out of him and never 01:01:15.220 --> 01:01:16.060 enter him again. 01:01:17.220 --> 01:01:21.060 The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. 01:01:22.040 --> 01:01:25.760 The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, He's dead. 01:01:26.760 --> 01:01:31.720 But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up. 01:01:39.980 --> 01:01:43.940 After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, 01:01:45.040 --> 01:01:46.580 why couldn't we drive it out? 01:01:47.320 --> 01:01:52.100 He replied, this kind can come out only by prayer. 01:01:57.840 --> 01:02:01.340 They left that place and passed through Galilee. 01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:08.260 Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were because he was teaching his 01:02:08.260 --> 01:02:08.680 disciples. 01:02:15.250 --> 01:02:20.730 He said to them, the son of man is going to be delivered into the hands of male. 01:02:21.370 --> 01:02:24.990 They will kill him and after three days he will rise. 01:02:26.450 --> 01:02:31.550 But they did not understand what he meant and were afraid to ask him about it. 01:02:42.850 --> 01:02:44.650 They came to Capernaum. 01:02:45.810 --> 01:02:51.070 When he was in the house, he asked them, what were you arguing about on the road? 01:02:51.930 --> 01:02:55.190 But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the 01:02:55.190 --> 01:02:55.530 greatest. 01:02:56.810 --> 01:03:03.590 Sitting down, Jesus called the twelve and said, anyone who wants to be first must be 01:03:03.590 --> 01:03:06.110 the very last and the servant of all. 01:03:07.170 --> 01:03:09.970 He took a little child whom he placed among them. 01:03:11.030 --> 01:03:15.790 Taking the child in his arms, he said to them, whoever welcomes one of these little 01:03:15.790 --> 01:03:17.630 children in my name welcomes me. 01:03:19.350 --> 01:03:25.170 And whoever welcomes me does not welcome me, but the one who sent me. 01:03:29.070 --> 01:03:35.430 Teacher, said John, we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we told him to 01:03:35.430 --> 01:03:37.930 stop because he was not one of us. 01:03:40.050 --> 01:03:46.550 Do not stop him, Jesus said, for no one who does a miracle in my name can in the 01:03:46.550 --> 01:03:48.790 next moment say anything bad about me. 01:03:52.970 --> 01:03:56.070 For whoever is not against us is for us. 01:03:59.310 --> 01:04:04.330 Truly, I tell you, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong 01:04:04.330 --> 01:04:07.830 to the Messiah will certainly not lose their reward. 01:04:13.390 --> 01:04:18.950 If anyone causes one of these little ones, those who believe in me, to stumble, 01:04:19.710 --> 01:04:24.070 it would be better for them if a large millstone were hung around their neck and 01:04:24.070 --> 01:04:25.490 they were thrown into the sea. 01:04:29.290 --> 01:04:32.750 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. 01:04:33.670 --> 01:04:37.810 It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell. 01:04:38.490 --> 01:04:40.090 Where the fire never goes out. 01:04:43.350 --> 01:04:46.750 And if your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. 01:04:47.650 --> 01:04:51.890 It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be 01:04:51.890 --> 01:04:52.710 thrown into hell. 01:04:54.090 --> 01:04:57.630 And if your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out. 01:04:58.370 --> 01:05:03.270 It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes 01:05:03.270 --> 01:05:09.430 and be thrown into hell where the worms that eat them do not die and the fire is 01:05:09.430 --> 01:05:10.090 not quenched. 01:05:10.730 --> 01:05:13.370 Everyone will be salted with fire. 01:05:14.470 --> 01:05:19.910 Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty 01:05:19.910 --> 01:05:20.230 again? 01:05:21.450 --> 01:05:25.610 Have salt among yourselves and be at peace with each other. 01:05:44.250 --> 01:05:49.290 Jesus then left that place and went into the region of Judea and across the Jordan. 01:05:50.150 --> 01:05:55.510 Again, crowds of people came to him and as was his custom, he taught them. 01:05:56.530 --> 01:06:01.850 Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, is it lawful for a man to divorce 01:06:01.850 --> 01:06:02.390 his wife? 01:06:03.510 --> 01:06:05.990 What did Moses command you, he replied. 01:06:06.730 --> 01:06:11.050 They said, Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her 01:06:11.050 --> 01:06:11.350 away. 01:06:11.980 --> 01:06:16.670 It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law, Jesus replied. 01:06:17.290 --> 01:06:21.750 But at the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. 01:06:22.410 --> 01:06:26.970 For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his 01:06:26.970 --> 01:06:29.670 wife and the two will become one flesh. 01:06:30.310 --> 01:06:33.190 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 01:06:34.210 --> 01:06:38.210 Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate. 01:06:51.630 --> 01:06:56.010 When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this. 01:06:56.810 --> 01:07:01.850 He answered, anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery 01:07:01.850 --> 01:07:02.430 against her. 01:07:03.490 --> 01:07:07.710 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery. 01:07:13.130 --> 01:07:16.950 People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on. 01:07:17.770 --> 01:07:19.430 But the disciples rebuked them. 01:07:21.210 --> 01:07:23.290 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. 01:07:24.050 --> 01:07:28.270 He said to them, let the little children come to me and do not hinder them. 01:07:28.950 --> 01:07:32.090 For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 01:07:36.520 --> 01:07:41.940 Truly, I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little 01:07:41.940 --> 01:07:43.940 child will never enter it. 01:07:44.420 --> 01:07:49.520 And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them. 01:07:58.310 --> 01:08:03.970 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. 01:08:04.670 --> 01:08:06.190 Good teacher, he asked. 01:08:06.530 --> 01:08:08.930 What must I do to inherit eternal life? 01:08:11.130 --> 01:08:12.650 Why do you call me good? 01:08:13.190 --> 01:08:13.950 Jesus answered. 01:08:15.170 --> 01:08:17.810 No one is good except God alone. 01:08:18.910 --> 01:08:19.810 You know the commandments. 01:08:20.450 --> 01:08:21.470 You shall not murder. 01:08:22.010 --> 01:08:23.330 You shall not commit adultery. 01:08:24.190 --> 01:08:25.310 You shall not steal. 01:08:26.130 --> 01:08:27.730 You shall not give false testimony. 01:08:28.130 --> 01:08:29.730 You shall not defraud. 01:08:30.590 --> 01:08:31.910 Honor your father and mother. 01:08:32.850 --> 01:08:33.890 Teacher, he declared. 01:08:34.730 --> 01:08:36.950 All these I have kept since I was a boy. 01:08:38.790 --> 01:08:41.050 Jesus looked at him and loved him. 01:08:43.230 --> 01:08:45.470 One thing you lack, he said. 01:08:46.390 --> 01:08:51.990 Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in 01:08:51.990 --> 01:08:52.210 heaven. 01:08:55.230 --> 01:08:57.330 Then come, follow me. 01:08:59.310 --> 01:09:00.790 At this the man's face fell. 01:09:01.550 --> 01:09:04.010 He went away sad because he had great wealth. 01:09:05.270 --> 01:09:10.410 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, how hard it is for the rich to 01:09:10.410 --> 01:09:11.530 enter the kingdom of God. 01:09:12.710 --> 01:09:14.890 The disciples were amazed at his words. 01:09:15.570 --> 01:09:21.490 But Jesus said again, children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of 01:09:21.490 --> 01:09:21.870 God. 01:09:22.270 --> 01:09:26.930 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is 01:09:26.930 --> 01:09:29.490 rich to enter the kingdom of God. 01:09:30.350 --> 01:09:36.090 The disciples were even more amazed and said to each other, who then can be saved? 01:09:39.150 --> 01:09:44.910 Jesus looked at them and said, with man this is impossible, but not with 01:09:44.910 --> 01:09:45.230 God. 01:09:46.050 --> 01:09:47.890 All things are possible with God. 01:09:49.210 --> 01:09:50.710 Then Peter spoke up. 01:09:51.390 --> 01:09:53.730 We have left everything to follow you. 01:09:54.830 --> 01:10:00.370 Truly I tell you, Jesus replied, no one who has left home, or brothers, 01:10:00.510 --> 01:10:04.250 or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or fields for me and the 01:10:04.250 --> 01:10:09.570 gospel, will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age. 01:10:11.270 --> 01:10:15.130 Homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields, along with 01:10:15.130 --> 01:10:19.250 persecutions and in the age to come eternal life. 01:10:19.890 --> 01:10:24.590 But many who are first will be last, and the last first. 01:10:37.920 --> 01:10:42.740 They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the 01:10:42.740 --> 01:10:46.580 disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. 01:10:49.700 --> 01:10:53.420 Again he took the twelve aside and told them what was going to happen to him. 01:10:54.200 --> 01:10:59.580 We are going up to Jerusalem, he said, and the Son of Man will be delivered over 01:10:59.580 --> 01:11:02.540 to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. 01:11:03.120 --> 01:11:07.260 They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, 01:11:07.440 --> 01:11:12.840 who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. 01:11:13.620 --> 01:11:16.140 Three days later he will rise. 01:11:21.570 --> 01:11:25.050 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. 01:11:25.850 --> 01:11:30.610 Teacher, they said, we want you to do for us whatever we ask. 01:11:31.810 --> 01:11:34.030 What do you want me to do for you, he asked. 01:11:34.810 --> 01:11:40.770 They replied, let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your 01:11:40.770 --> 01:11:41.110 glory. 01:11:42.590 --> 01:11:45.030 You don't know what you're asking, Jesus said. 01:11:45.670 --> 01:11:50.990 Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized 01:11:50.990 --> 01:11:51.330 with? 01:11:51.910 --> 01:11:53.190 We can, they answered. 01:11:53.990 --> 01:11:59.810 Jesus said to them, you will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I 01:11:59.810 --> 01:12:04.930 am baptized with, but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. 01:12:05.610 --> 01:12:08.670 These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared. 01:12:15.960 --> 01:12:20.700 When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. 01:12:23.860 --> 01:12:28.500 Jesus called them together and said, you know that those who are regarded as 01:12:28.500 --> 01:12:33.020 rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise 01:12:33.020 --> 01:12:34.220 authority over them. 01:12:35.180 --> 01:12:36.480 Not so with you. 01:12:37.360 --> 01:12:41.840 Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 01:12:42.620 --> 01:12:46.020 and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 01:12:48.020 --> 01:12:54.080 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life 01:12:54.080 --> 01:12:55.640 as a ransom for many. 01:13:04.480 --> 01:13:06.140 Then they came to Jericho. 01:13:07.060 --> 01:13:11.300 As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, 01:13:12.160 --> 01:13:17.920 a blind man, Bartimaeus, which means son of Timaeus, was sitting by the roadside 01:13:17.920 --> 01:13:18.240 begging. 01:13:19.080 --> 01:13:23.400 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, Jesus, 01:13:24.040 --> 01:13:26.600 Son of David, have mercy on me. 01:13:27.740 --> 01:13:33.180 Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, Son of David, 01:13:33.340 --> 01:13:34.500 have mercy on me. 01:13:37.840 --> 01:13:40.620 Jesus stopped and said, call him. 01:13:44.600 --> 01:13:49.100 So they called to the blind man, cheer up, on your feet, he's calling you. 01:13:50.520 --> 01:13:53.420 Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. 01:13:56.880 --> 01:13:58.520 What do you want me to do for you? 01:13:58.880 --> 01:13:59.680 Jesus asked him. 01:14:00.600 --> 01:14:03.160 The blind man said, Rabbi, I want to see. 01:14:14.180 --> 01:14:15.460 Go, said Jesus. 01:14:16.220 --> 01:14:17.700 Your faith has healed you. 01:14:24.740 --> 01:14:29.160 Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road. 01:14:46.810 --> 01:14:51.690 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of 01:14:51.690 --> 01:14:57.690 Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, saying to them, go to the village ahead of 01:14:57.690 --> 01:15:01.910 you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, 01:15:02.270 --> 01:15:03.830 which no one has ever ridden. 01:15:04.770 --> 01:15:06.530 Untie it and bring it here. 01:15:07.350 --> 01:15:13.370 If anyone asks you why are you doing this, say, the Lord needs it and will send it 01:15:13.370 --> 01:15:14.230 back here shortly. 01:15:18.370 --> 01:15:22.730 They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. 01:15:23.750 --> 01:15:28.190 As they untied it, some people standing there asked, what are you doing untying 01:15:28.190 --> 01:15:28.750 that colt? 01:15:29.410 --> 01:15:33.550 They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. 01:15:38.030 --> 01:15:43.010 When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it. 01:15:43.610 --> 01:15:47.930 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they 01:15:47.930 --> 01:15:49.030 had cut in the fields. 01:15:49.830 --> 01:15:53.210 Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, Hosanna! 01:15:53.950 --> 01:15:56.670 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! 01:15:57.430 --> 01:16:00.230 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! 01:16:00.910 --> 01:16:02.870 Hosanna in the highest heaven! 01:16:16.920 --> 01:16:20.720 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. 01:16:21.560 --> 01:16:24.960 He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, 01:16:25.700 --> 01:16:27.380 he went out to Bethany with the twelve. 01:16:41.060 --> 01:16:44.720 The next day, as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 01:16:45.660 --> 01:16:50.120 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. 01:16:51.120 --> 01:16:55.980 When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for 01:16:55.980 --> 01:16:56.360 figs. 01:16:57.720 --> 01:17:02.360 Then he said to the tree, May no one ever eat fruit from you again. 01:17:03.140 --> 01:17:05.000 And his disciples heard him say it. 01:17:18.090 --> 01:17:22.130 On reaching Jerusalem, Jesus entered the temple courts 01:17:29.290 --> 01:17:33.690 and began driving out those who were buying and selling them. 01:17:42.230 --> 01:17:46.330 He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those who were 01:17:46.330 --> 01:17:46.330 selling them. 01:17:47.610 --> 01:17:51.810 And he would not allow anyone to carry merchandise through the temple courts. 01:17:54.410 --> 01:17:59.150 And as he taught them, he said, Is it not written, My house will be called 01:17:59.150 --> 01:18:01.010 a house of prayer for all nations? 01:18:05.870 --> 01:18:08.510 But you have made it a den of robbers. 01:18:11.210 --> 01:18:15.630 The chief priests and the teachers of the law heard this and began looking for a way 01:18:15.630 --> 01:18:16.150 to kill him. 01:18:16.350 --> 01:18:20.530 For they feared him, because the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching. 01:18:24.350 --> 01:18:29.090 When evening came, Jesus and his disciples went out of the city. 01:18:32.480 --> 01:18:37.220 In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the 01:18:37.220 --> 01:18:37.560 roots. 01:18:38.280 --> 01:18:43.580 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, Rabbi, look, the fig tree you cursed has 01:18:43.580 --> 01:18:43.880 withered. 01:18:45.500 --> 01:18:48.180 Have faith in God, Jesus answered. 01:18:50.420 --> 01:18:57.040 Truly, I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, Go, throw yourself into the sea 01:18:57.040 --> 01:19:01.600 and does not doubt in their heart, but believes that what they say will 01:19:01.600 --> 01:19:03.760 happen, it will be done for them. 01:19:04.860 --> 01:19:10.780 Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have 01:19:10.780 --> 01:19:13.180 received it, and it will be yours. 01:19:13.880 --> 01:19:19.600 And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive them, 01:19:20.200 --> 01:19:24.440 so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins. 01:19:37.210 --> 01:19:42.350 They arrived again in Jerusalem, and while Jesus was walking in the temple 01:19:42.350 --> 01:19:47.210 courts, chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders came to him. 01:19:52.360 --> 01:19:56.880 By what authority are you doing these things, they asked, and who gave you 01:19:56.880 --> 01:19:58.040 authority to do this? 01:19:59.080 --> 01:20:02.760 Jesus replied, I will ask you one question. 01:20:03.960 --> 01:20:07.540 Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 01:20:09.380 --> 01:20:14.060 John's baptism, was it from heaven, or of human origin? 01:20:15.080 --> 01:20:15.400 Tell me. 01:20:18.040 --> 01:20:22.620 They discussed it among themselves, and said, if we say from heaven, 01:20:23.100 --> 01:20:28.140 he will ask, then why didn't you believe him, but if we say of human origin, 01:20:28.580 --> 01:20:33.920 they feared the people, for everyone held that John really was a prophet. 01:20:34.920 --> 01:20:38.360 So they answered Jesus, we don't know. 01:20:42.840 --> 01:20:48.960 Jesus said, neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 01:20:52.920 --> 01:20:55.540 Jesus then began to speak to them in parables. 01:20:57.560 --> 01:20:59.440 A man planted a vineyard. 01:21:00.820 --> 01:21:05.380 He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress, and built a watchtower. 01:21:06.240 --> 01:21:10.100 Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers, and moved to another place. 01:21:10.900 --> 01:21:15.700 At harvest time, he sent a servant to the tenants, to collect from them some of the 01:21:15.700 --> 01:21:21.180 fruit of the vineyard, but they seized him, beat him, and sent him away 01:21:21.180 --> 01:21:21.840 empty-handed. 01:21:26.200 --> 01:21:28.020 Then he sent another servant to them. 01:21:28.680 --> 01:21:31.480 They struck this man on the head, and treated him shamefully. 01:21:33.120 --> 01:21:36.340 He sent still another, and that one they killed. 01:21:37.220 --> 01:21:40.900 He sent many others, some of them they beat, others they killed. 01:21:47.480 --> 01:21:52.560 He had one left to send, a son, whom he loved. 01:21:53.720 --> 01:21:59.220 He sent him last of all, saying, they will respect my son. 01:22:00.500 --> 01:22:04.360 But the tenants said to one another, this is the heir. 01:22:05.100 --> 01:22:08.340 Come, let's kill him, and the inheritance will be ours. 01:22:09.620 --> 01:22:13.980 So they took him, and killed him, and threw him out of the vineyard. 01:22:13.980 --> 01:22:20.220 What then will the owner of the vineyard do? 01:22:21.220 --> 01:22:25.240 He will come and kill those tenants, and give the vineyard to others. 01:22:48.290 --> 01:22:50.230 Haven't you read this passage of scripture? 01:22:51.150 --> 01:22:54.290 The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. 01:22:55.130 --> 01:22:58.170 The Lord has done this, and it is marvellous in our eyes. 01:22:59.470 --> 01:23:04.090 Then the chief priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders looked for a way 01:23:04.090 --> 01:23:08.270 to arrest him, because they knew he had spoken the parable against them. 01:23:08.930 --> 01:23:13.350 But they were afraid of the crowd, so they left him, and went away. 01:23:22.220 --> 01:23:26.860 Later, they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus, to catch him in his 01:23:26.860 --> 01:23:27.180 words. 01:23:28.960 --> 01:23:34.180 They came to him and said, Teacher, we know that you are a man of integrity. 01:23:35.040 --> 01:23:38.700 You aren't swayed by others because you pay no attention to who they are. 01:23:39.440 --> 01:23:42.400 But you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. 01:23:43.280 --> 01:23:47.060 Is it right to pay the imperial tax to Caesar or not? 01:23:47.720 --> 01:23:49.760 Should we pay, or shouldn't we? 01:23:51.120 --> 01:23:52.840 But Jesus knew the hypocrisy. 01:23:53.880 --> 01:23:55.460 Why are you trying to trap me? 01:23:55.760 --> 01:23:56.160 He asked. 01:23:57.180 --> 01:23:59.220 Bring me a denarius, and let me look at it. 01:24:01.140 --> 01:24:02.400 They brought the coin. 01:24:05.020 --> 01:24:08.980 And he asked them, Whose image is this, and whose inscription? 01:24:10.240 --> 01:24:11.520 Caesar's, they replied. 01:24:12.240 --> 01:24:18.740 Then Jesus said to them, Give back to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what 01:24:18.740 --> 01:24:19.380 is God's. 01:24:20.080 --> 01:24:21.680 And they were amazed at him. 01:24:30.850 --> 01:24:35.210 Then the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. 01:24:35.930 --> 01:24:37.270 Teacher, they said. 01:24:37.770 --> 01:24:43.130 Moses wrote for us that if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no children, 01:24:43.770 --> 01:24:47.270 the man must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother. 01:24:48.170 --> 01:24:49.550 Now there were seven brothers. 01:24:50.370 --> 01:24:53.230 The first one married and died without leaving any children. 01:24:53.230 --> 01:24:57.630 The second one married the widow, but he also died, leaving no child. 01:24:58.190 --> 01:24:59.630 It was the same with the third. 01:24:59.770 --> 01:25:02.690 In fact, none of the seven left any children. 01:25:03.350 --> 01:25:05.730 Last of all, the woman died too. 01:25:06.710 --> 01:25:11.930 At the resurrection, whose wife will she be, since the seven were married to her? 01:25:13.130 --> 01:25:14.090 Jesus replied. 01:25:14.730 --> 01:25:19.030 Are you not in error because you do not know the scriptures or the power of God? 01:25:21.370 --> 01:25:25.890 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage. 01:25:26.550 --> 01:25:28.850 They will be like the angels in heaven. 01:25:29.950 --> 01:25:31.610 Now about the dead rising. 01:25:32.510 --> 01:25:36.910 Have you not read in the book of Moses, in the account of the burning bush, 01:25:37.490 --> 01:25:44.570 how God said to him, I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of 01:25:44.570 --> 01:25:44.910 Jacob? 01:25:46.070 --> 01:25:48.290 He is not the God of the dead. 01:25:48.290 --> 01:25:50.050 But of the living. 01:25:52.330 --> 01:25:54.030 You are badly mistaken. 01:25:58.940 --> 01:26:02.120 One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. 01:26:03.120 --> 01:26:06.140 Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him. 01:26:06.900 --> 01:26:10.340 Of all the commandments, which is the most important? 01:26:11.100 --> 01:26:14.420 The most important one, answered Jesus, is this. 01:26:14.420 --> 01:26:20.480 Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. 01:26:21.260 --> 01:26:26.060 Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, 01:26:26.160 --> 01:26:30.220 and with all your mind, and with all your strength. 01:26:31.120 --> 01:26:32.240 The second is this. 01:26:32.800 --> 01:26:34.800 Love your neighbor as yourself. 01:26:35.480 --> 01:26:37.660 There is no commandment greater than these. 01:26:39.240 --> 01:26:41.760 Well said, teacher, the man replied. 01:26:42.380 --> 01:26:46.880 You are right in saying that God is one, and there is no other but him. 01:26:47.960 --> 01:26:51.780 To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, and with all 01:26:51.780 --> 01:26:56.440 your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all 01:26:56.440 --> 01:26:58.320 burnt offerings and sacrifices. 01:26:59.560 --> 01:27:05.840 When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, You are not far 01:27:05.840 --> 01:27:07.040 from the kingdom of God. 01:27:09.840 --> 01:27:14.680 And from then on, no one dared ask him any more questions. 01:27:20.850 --> 01:27:26.070 While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, he asked, Why do the teachers of 01:27:26.070 --> 01:27:28.910 the law say that the Messiah is the son of David? 01:27:29.870 --> 01:27:35.790 David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared, The Lord said to my 01:27:35.790 --> 01:27:40.670 Lord, Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet. 01:27:41.430 --> 01:27:44.130 David himself calls him Lord. 01:27:44.370 --> 01:27:46.430 How then can he be his son? 01:27:46.970 --> 01:27:49.450 The large crowd listened to him with delight. 01:27:54.780 --> 01:28:00.120 As he taught, Jesus said, Watch out for the teachers of the law. 01:28:01.020 --> 01:28:05.580 They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted with respect in the 01:28:05.580 --> 01:28:10.620 marketplaces, and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of 01:28:10.620 --> 01:28:11.700 honor at banquets. 01:28:12.000 --> 01:28:16.280 They devour widows' houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. 01:28:17.260 --> 01:28:19.980 These men will be punished most severely. 01:28:27.630 --> 01:28:31.930 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the 01:28:31.930 --> 01:28:34.410 crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. 01:28:35.370 --> 01:28:42.010 Many rich people threw in large amounts, but a poor widow came and put in two very 01:28:42.010 --> 01:28:45.310 small copper coins, worth only a few cents. 01:28:51.810 --> 01:28:57.850 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put 01:28:57.850 --> 01:28:59.910 more into the treasury than all the others. 01:29:00.830 --> 01:29:06.310 They all gave out of their wealth, but she, out of her poverty, put in 01:29:06.310 --> 01:29:06.770 everything. 01:29:07.670 --> 01:29:09.350 All she had to live on. 01:29:11.990 --> 01:29:16.370 As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, 01:29:16.570 --> 01:29:19.710 Look, teacher, what massive stones! 01:29:20.530 --> 01:29:21.830 What magnificent buildings! 01:29:21.830 --> 01:29:24.710 Do you see all these great buildings? 01:29:25.090 --> 01:29:25.790 replied Jesus. 01:29:26.530 --> 01:29:28.910 Not one stone here will be left on another. 01:29:29.650 --> 01:29:31.470 Every one will be thrown down. 01:29:39.530 --> 01:29:43.890 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, 01:29:44.150 --> 01:29:49.990 James, John and Andrew asked him privately, Tell us, when will these things 01:29:49.990 --> 01:29:50.310 happen? 01:29:51.250 --> 01:29:54.230 And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled? 01:29:54.910 --> 01:29:58.750 Jesus said to them, Watch out that no one deceives you. 01:29:59.790 --> 01:30:04.630 Many will come in my name, claiming, I am he, and will deceive many. 01:30:05.530 --> 01:30:10.810 When you hear of wars, and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. 01:30:11.510 --> 01:30:15.590 Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 01:30:16.810 --> 01:30:20.430 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. 01:30:21.210 --> 01:30:24.630 There will be earthquakes in various places and famines. 01:30:26.050 --> 01:30:28.790 These are the beginning of birth pains. 01:30:29.850 --> 01:30:31.610 You must be on your guard. 01:30:32.850 --> 01:30:36.430 You will be handed over to the local councils and flogged in the synagogues. 01:30:37.310 --> 01:30:42.350 On account of me, you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them, 01:30:42.790 --> 01:30:45.950 and the gospel must first be preached to all nations. 01:30:47.310 --> 01:30:51.750 Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what 01:30:51.750 --> 01:30:52.170 to say. 01:30:53.130 --> 01:30:57.890 Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, 01:30:58.050 --> 01:30:59.310 but the Holy Spirit. 01:31:00.270 --> 01:31:03.910 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. 01:31:05.250 --> 01:31:08.470 Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. 01:31:10.290 --> 01:31:12.450 Everyone will hate you because of me. 01:31:14.690 --> 01:31:18.570 But the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 01:31:19.710 --> 01:31:24.830 When you see the abomination that causes desolation, standing where it does not 01:31:24.830 --> 01:31:27.670 belong, let the reader understand. 01:31:28.530 --> 01:31:32.450 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 01:31:33.830 --> 01:31:38.410 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 01:31:38.410 --> 01:31:42.110 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 01:31:43.190 --> 01:31:46.950 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers. 01:31:48.410 --> 01:31:53.230 Pray that this will not take place in winter, because those will be days of 01:31:53.230 --> 01:31:59.230 distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world until now, 01:32:00.250 --> 01:32:01.770 and never to be equaled again. 01:32:02.930 --> 01:32:07.430 If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. 01:32:07.430 --> 01:32:12.730 But for the sake of the elect, whom He has chosen, He has shortened them. 01:32:13.070 --> 01:32:18.930 At that time, if anyone says to you, look, here is the Messiah, or look, 01:32:19.330 --> 01:32:21.850 there He is, do not believe it. 01:32:22.210 --> 01:32:28.110 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to 01:32:28.110 --> 01:32:30.570 deceive, if possible, even the elect. 01:32:31.370 --> 01:32:32.810 So be on your guard. 01:32:33.850 --> 01:32:36.510 I have told you everything ahead of time. 01:32:36.510 --> 01:32:42.290 But in those days, following that distress, the sun will be darkened, 01:32:42.790 --> 01:32:44.950 and the moon will not give its light. 01:32:45.550 --> 01:32:49.890 The stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. 01:32:51.410 --> 01:32:57.410 At that time, people will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and 01:32:57.410 --> 01:32:57.730 glory. 01:32:58.410 --> 01:33:03.910 And He will send His angels and gather His elect from the four winds, from the ends 01:33:03.910 --> 01:33:05.870 of the earth to the ends of the heavens. 01:33:07.570 --> 01:33:09.830 Now learn this lesson from the fig tree. 01:33:10.970 --> 01:33:16.970 As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is 01:33:16.970 --> 01:33:17.210 near. 01:33:18.210 --> 01:33:23.530 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, 01:33:24.130 --> 01:33:25.170 right at the dawn. 01:33:26.150 --> 01:33:31.470 Truly, I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these 01:33:31.470 --> 01:33:32.230 things have happened. 01:33:33.210 --> 01:33:39.230 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. 01:33:41.490 --> 01:33:46.750 But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, 01:33:46.950 --> 01:33:49.610 nor the sun, but only the Father. 01:33:51.210 --> 01:33:51.930 Be on guard. 01:33:53.370 --> 01:33:53.950 Be alert. 01:33:53.950 --> 01:33:57.310 You do not know when that time will come. 01:33:57.750 --> 01:33:59.790 It's like a man going away. 01:34:00.310 --> 01:34:05.450 He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, 01:34:06.010 --> 01:34:09.250 and tells the one at the door to keep watch. 01:34:10.230 --> 01:34:14.390 Therefore keep watch, because you do not know when the owner of the house will come 01:34:14.390 --> 01:34:19.630 back, whether in the evening or at midnight or when the rooster crows or at 01:34:19.630 --> 01:34:19.950 dawn. 01:34:19.950 --> 01:34:23.810 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 01:34:25.010 --> 01:34:28.410 What I say to you, I say to everyone. 01:34:29.590 --> 01:34:30.190 Watch. 01:34:49.800 --> 01:34:54.680 Now the Passover and the festival of unleavened bread were only two days away, 01:34:55.080 --> 01:34:59.740 and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were scheming to arrest Jesus 01:34:59.740 --> 01:35:00.920 secretly and kill him. 01:35:01.620 --> 01:35:05.560 But not during the festival, they said, or the people may riot. 01:35:11.630 --> 01:35:15.970 While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the leper, 01:35:16.250 --> 01:35:21.810 a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume made of pure nard. 01:35:22.430 --> 01:35:26.070 She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head. 01:35:27.190 --> 01:35:31.710 Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, why this waste 01:35:31.710 --> 01:35:32.270 of perfume? 01:35:32.890 --> 01:35:36.190 It could have been sold for more than a year's wages and the money given to the 01:35:36.190 --> 01:35:38.410 poor, and they rebuked her harshly. 01:35:42.800 --> 01:35:44.720 Leave her alone, said Jesus. 01:35:45.360 --> 01:35:46.600 Why are you bothering her? 01:35:47.680 --> 01:35:49.340 She has done a beautiful thing to me. 01:35:50.080 --> 01:35:55.280 The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them any time you want, 01:35:55.500 --> 01:35:57.540 but you will not always have me. 01:35:58.600 --> 01:35:59.580 She did what she could. 01:36:00.320 --> 01:36:04.560 She poured perfume on my body beforehand, to prepare for my burial. 01:36:05.240 --> 01:36:09.500 Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, 01:36:09.880 --> 01:36:14.260 what she has done will also be told in memory of her. 01:36:19.140 --> 01:36:26.160 Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus 01:36:26.160 --> 01:36:26.640 to them. 01:36:29.140 --> 01:36:34.180 They were delighted to hear this and promised to give him money, so he watched 01:36:34.180 --> 01:36:36.540 for an opportunity to hand him over. 01:36:50.820 --> 01:36:56.380 On the first day of the festival of unleavened bread, when it was customary to 01:36:56.380 --> 01:37:02.100 sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus' disciples asked him, where do you want us 01:37:02.100 --> 01:37:04.780 to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover? 01:37:04.780 --> 01:37:09.440 So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, go into the city, 01:37:10.340 --> 01:37:12.700 and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. 01:37:13.440 --> 01:37:13.920 Follow him. 01:37:14.360 --> 01:37:19.740 Say to the owner of the house he enters, the teacher asks, where is my guest room, 01:37:20.180 --> 01:37:22.560 where I may eat the Passover with my disciples? 01:37:24.340 --> 01:37:28.080 He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. 01:37:29.080 --> 01:37:30.600 Make preparations for us there. 01:37:31.860 --> 01:37:38.000 The disciples left, went into the city, and found things just as Jesus had told 01:37:38.000 --> 01:37:40.520 them, so they prepared the Passover. 01:37:43.180 --> 01:37:46.760 When evening came, Jesus arrived with the twelve. 01:37:49.480 --> 01:37:54.320 While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, truly I tell you, 01:37:55.020 --> 01:37:59.540 one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me. 01:38:01.920 --> 01:38:07.020 They were saddened, and one by one they said to him, surely you don't mean me? 01:38:08.240 --> 01:38:14.520 It is one of the twelve, he replied, one who dips bread into the bowl with me. 01:38:15.760 --> 01:38:18.900 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. 01:38:23.210 --> 01:38:25.650 But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man. 01:38:26.890 --> 01:38:30.190 It would be better for him if he had not been born. 01:38:50.380 --> 01:38:56.360 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, 01:38:56.840 --> 01:39:01.620 and gave it to his disciples, saying, take it, this is my body. 01:39:06.960 --> 01:39:12.140 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all 01:39:12.140 --> 01:39:12.760 drank from it. 01:39:14.300 --> 01:39:19.480 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many, he said to 01:39:19.480 --> 01:39:19.660 them. 01:39:21.960 --> 01:39:27.580 Truly I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until that day 01:39:27.580 --> 01:39:30.160 when I drink it new in the kingdom of God. 01:39:34.150 --> 01:39:38.470 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives. 01:40:03.020 --> 01:40:09.980 You will all fall away, Jesus told them, for it is written, I will strike the 01:40:09.980 --> 01:40:12.600 shepherd, and the sheep will be scattered. 01:40:13.320 --> 01:40:17.100 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee. 01:40:18.460 --> 01:40:22.700 Peter declared, even if all fall away, I will not. 01:40:23.520 --> 01:40:31.140 Truly I tell you, Jesus answered, today, yes, tonight, before the rooster 01:40:31.140 --> 01:40:36.700 crows twice, you yourself will disown me three times. 01:40:38.200 --> 01:40:43.740 Peter insisted emphatically, even if I have to die with you, I will never disown 01:40:43.740 --> 01:40:43.940 you. 01:40:44.480 --> 01:40:46.540 And all the others said the same. 01:41:23.210 --> 01:41:28.070 They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, 01:41:28.670 --> 01:41:30.590 sit here while I pray. 01:41:31.730 --> 01:41:36.150 He took Peter, James, and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed 01:41:36.150 --> 01:41:36.710 and troubled. 01:41:39.050 --> 01:41:44.170 My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death, he said to them. 01:41:44.990 --> 01:41:46.690 Stay here and keep watch. 01:41:51.750 --> 01:41:55.410 Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that, if possible, 01:41:55.490 --> 01:41:57.290 the hour might pass from him. 01:41:59.450 --> 01:42:03.830 Abba, Father, he said, everything is possible for you. 01:42:04.590 --> 01:42:08.610 Take this cup from me, yet not what I will, but what you will. 01:42:14.310 --> 01:42:17.410 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. 01:42:19.210 --> 01:42:22.310 Simon, he said to Peter, are you asleep? 01:42:23.150 --> 01:42:24.850 Couldn't you keep watch for one hour? 01:42:25.550 --> 01:42:28.670 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. 01:42:29.330 --> 01:42:32.530 The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. 01:42:38.420 --> 01:42:40.980 Once more he went away and prayed the same thing. 01:42:41.820 --> 01:42:45.860 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. 01:42:46.760 --> 01:42:48.740 They did not know what to say to him. 01:42:49.720 --> 01:42:54.440 Returning the third time, he said to them, are you still sleeping and resting? 01:42:55.420 --> 01:42:57.560 Enough, the hour has come. 01:42:58.260 --> 01:43:02.380 Look, the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 01:43:03.660 --> 01:43:05.520 Rise, let us go. 01:43:06.080 --> 01:43:07.320 Here comes my betrayer. 01:43:09.100 --> 01:43:13.480 Just as he was speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, appeared. 01:43:14.320 --> 01:43:19.700 With him was a crowd, armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, 01:43:20.220 --> 01:43:22.400 the teachers of the law, and the elders. 01:43:23.400 --> 01:43:26.180 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them. 01:43:26.880 --> 01:43:28.920 The one I kiss is the man. 01:43:29.600 --> 01:43:32.320 Arrest him and lead him away under guard. 01:43:33.680 --> 01:43:38.780 Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, Rabbi, and kissed him. 01:43:39.700 --> 01:43:40.380 Hey, 01:43:44.500 --> 01:43:45.040 what's the matter? 01:43:51.270 --> 01:43:55.130 The men seized Jesus and arrested him. 01:43:57.170 --> 01:44:02.770 Then one of those standing near drew his sword and struck the servant of the high 01:44:02.770 --> 01:44:04.550 priest, cutting off his ear. 01:44:12.050 --> 01:44:13.930 Am I leading a rebellion? 01:44:14.130 --> 01:44:15.070 said Jesus. 01:44:15.710 --> 01:44:18.870 That you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? 01:44:21.870 --> 01:44:27.010 Every day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest me. 01:44:27.910 --> 01:44:30.010 But the scriptures must be fulfilled. 01:44:31.110 --> 01:44:32.730 I support what you say. 01:44:33.910 --> 01:44:36.410 Then everyone deserted him and fled. 01:44:38.510 --> 01:44:42.830 A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. 01:44:43.770 --> 01:44:47.790 When they seized him, he fled naked, leaving his garment behind. 01:44:52.680 --> 01:44:57.580 They took Jesus to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the elders, 01:44:57.960 --> 01:44:59.620 and the teachers of the law came together. 01:44:59.620 --> 01:45:04.380 Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high 01:45:04.380 --> 01:45:04.720 priest. 01:45:06.100 --> 01:45:09.540 There he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire. 01:45:10.500 --> 01:45:15.160 The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Jesus, 01:45:15.500 --> 01:45:18.360 so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any. 01:45:19.500 --> 01:45:23.420 Many testified falsely against him, but their statements did not agree. 01:45:24.660 --> 01:45:28.140 Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him. 01:45:28.580 --> 01:45:33.060 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple made with human hands, and in three 01:45:33.060 --> 01:45:36.020 days we'll build another not made with hands. 01:45:36.680 --> 01:45:39.380 Yet even then their testimony did not agree. 01:45:40.120 --> 01:45:45.240 Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, Are you not going to 01:45:45.240 --> 01:45:45.540 answer? 01:45:45.900 --> 01:45:49.060 What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you? 01:45:49.680 --> 01:45:52.740 But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. 01:45:53.420 --> 01:45:57.040 Again the high priest asked him, Are you the Messiah, the Son of the 01:45:57.040 --> 01:45:57.540 Blessed One? 01:45:57.980 --> 01:45:59.900 I am, said Jesus. 01:46:00.600 --> 01:46:04.540 And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One, 01:46:04.860 --> 01:46:06.860 and coming on the clouds of heaven. 01:46:08.780 --> 01:46:10.980 The high priest tore his clothes. 01:46:12.340 --> 01:46:14.080 Why do we need any more witnesses? 01:46:14.440 --> 01:46:14.860 he asked. 01:46:15.840 --> 01:46:17.100 You have heard the blasphemy. 01:46:17.640 --> 01:46:18.300 What do you think? 01:46:19.840 --> 01:46:22.540 They all condemned him as worthy of death. 01:46:27.580 --> 01:46:29.420 Then some began to spit at him. 01:46:31.340 --> 01:46:36.920 They blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, Prophesy! 01:46:37.660 --> 01:46:39.560 And the guards took him and beat him. 01:46:40.780 --> 01:46:45.340 While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high 01:46:45.340 --> 01:46:46.280 priest came by. 01:46:47.020 --> 01:46:50.580 When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him. 01:46:51.520 --> 01:46:55.020 You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus, she said. 01:46:55.020 --> 01:46:56.500 But he denied it. 01:46:57.160 --> 01:47:01.780 I don't know or understand what you are talking about, he said, and went out into 01:47:01.780 --> 01:47:02.400 the entryway. 01:47:04.640 --> 01:47:09.200 When the servant girl saw him there, she said again to those standing around, 01:47:09.700 --> 01:47:11.680 This fellow is one of them. 01:47:12.480 --> 01:47:13.620 Again he denied it. 01:47:16.120 --> 01:47:21.180 After a little while, those standing near said to Peter, Surely you are one of them, 01:47:21.500 --> 01:47:22.260 for you are a Galilean. 01:47:22.900 --> 01:47:26.220 He began to call down curses, and he swore to them. 01:47:26.840 --> 01:47:28.900 I don't know this man you are talking about. 01:47:30.420 --> 01:47:33.440 Immediately the rooster crowed the second time. 01:47:34.300 --> 01:47:37.520 Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken to him. 01:47:38.680 --> 01:47:43.440 Before the rooster crows twice, you will disown me three times. 01:47:44.420 --> 01:47:46.780 And he broke down and wept. 01:47:52.240 --> 01:47:57.020 Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of 01:47:57.020 --> 01:48:00.000 the law, and the whole Sanhedrin, made their plans. 01:48:01.120 --> 01:48:05.660 So they bound Jesus, led him away, and handed him over to Pilate. 01:48:08.660 --> 01:48:09.940 Are you the king of the Jews? 01:48:10.600 --> 01:48:11.300 asked Pilate. 01:48:14.500 --> 01:48:16.980 You have said so, Jesus replied. 01:48:18.300 --> 01:48:23.440 The chief priests accused him of many things, so again Pilate asked him. 01:48:24.260 --> 01:48:25.480 Aren't you going to answer? 01:48:26.320 --> 01:48:28.420 See how many things they are accusing you of? 01:48:29.540 --> 01:48:33.440 But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed. 01:48:35.080 --> 01:48:39.240 Now it was the custom at the festival to release a prisoner whom the people 01:48:39.240 --> 01:48:39.800 requested. 01:48:40.900 --> 01:48:45.200 A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed 01:48:45.200 --> 01:48:46.360 murder in the uprising. 01:48:46.980 --> 01:48:51.100 The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did. 01:48:51.560 --> 01:48:53.920 Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews? 01:48:54.540 --> 01:48:59.140 asked Pilate, knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had 01:48:59.140 --> 01:49:00.480 handed Jesus over to him. 01:49:01.080 --> 01:49:05.680 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead. 01:49:06.800 --> 01:49:10.200 What shall I do then with the one you call the king of the Jews? 01:49:10.340 --> 01:49:11.140 Pilate asked them. 01:49:12.900 --> 01:49:13.940 Crucify him! 01:49:14.220 --> 01:49:14.780 they shouted. 01:49:17.900 --> 01:49:18.660 Why? 01:49:19.360 --> 01:49:20.740 What crime has he committed? 01:49:21.200 --> 01:49:21.880 asked Pilate. 01:49:22.560 --> 01:49:24.500 But they shouted all the louder. 01:49:26.180 --> 01:49:27.540 Crucify him! 01:49:29.040 --> 01:49:33.620 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. 01:49:34.640 --> 01:49:38.240 He had Jesus flogged and handed him over to be crucified. 01:49:40.960 --> 01:49:45.940 The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace, that is, the praetorium. 01:49:47.280 --> 01:49:49.840 And called together the whole company of soldiers. 01:49:50.560 --> 01:49:54.700 They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns 01:49:54.700 --> 01:49:56.040 and set it on him. 01:49:56.740 --> 01:50:01.260 And they began to call out to him, Hail, king of the Jews! 01:50:03.620 --> 01:50:08.200 Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. 01:50:09.620 --> 01:50:12.480 Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. 01:50:13.480 --> 01:50:18.000 And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own 01:50:18.000 --> 01:50:18.800 clothes on him. 01:50:24.000 --> 01:50:27.160 Then they led him out to crucify him. 01:50:37.780 --> 01:50:43.160 A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, 01:50:43.560 --> 01:50:46.040 was passing by on his way in from the country. 01:50:46.040 --> 01:50:48.580 And they forced him to carry the cross. 01:50:57.280 --> 01:51:01.920 They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha, which means the place of the 01:51:01.920 --> 01:51:02.180 skull. 01:51:08.000 --> 01:51:12.600 Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. 01:51:31.450 --> 01:51:32.970 And they crucified him. 01:51:39.180 --> 01:51:43.700 Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get. 01:51:45.320 --> 01:51:47.840 It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. 01:51:49.000 --> 01:51:53.440 The written notice of the charge against him read, The King of the Jews. 01:51:59.520 --> 01:52:05.000 They crucified two rebels with him, one on his right and one on his left. 01:52:08.400 --> 01:52:13.280 Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, 01:52:14.000 --> 01:52:18.340 So, you who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, 01:52:18.700 --> 01:52:21.240 come down from the cross and save yourself. 01:52:22.400 --> 01:52:26.340 In the same way, the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among 01:52:26.340 --> 01:52:26.900 themselves. 01:52:27.460 --> 01:52:31.000 He saved others, they said, but he can't save himself. 01:52:31.860 --> 01:52:38.780 Let this Messiah, this King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may 01:52:38.780 --> 01:52:40.280 see and believe. 01:52:42.440 --> 01:52:45.720 Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him. 01:52:54.620 --> 01:52:59.500 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. 01:53:04.060 --> 01:53:08.820 And at three in the afternoon, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 01:53:10.640 --> 01:53:20.960 Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani, which means, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? 01:53:22.620 --> 01:53:27.520 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, Listen, he's calling 01:53:27.520 --> 01:53:27.980 Elijah. 01:53:29.180 --> 01:53:34.920 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff and offered it 01:53:34.920 --> 01:53:35.980 to Jesus to drink. 01:53:37.420 --> 01:53:38.660 Now leave him alone. 01:53:39.460 --> 01:53:42.220 Let's see if Elijah comes to take him down, he said. 01:53:51.070 --> 01:53:54.850 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. 01:54:16.410 --> 01:54:20.230 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 01:54:23.310 --> 01:54:27.750 And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, 01:54:27.810 --> 01:54:31.650 he said, Surely this man was the Son of God. 01:54:33.950 --> 01:54:36.150 Some women were watching from a distance. 01:54:36.970 --> 01:54:41.050 Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Younger and 01:54:41.050 --> 01:54:42.690 of Joseph, and Salome. 01:54:43.290 --> 01:54:47.730 In Galilee, these women had followed him and cared for his needs. 01:54:48.490 --> 01:54:52.210 Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there. 01:54:57.470 --> 01:55:01.390 It was preparation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath. 01:55:01.390 --> 01:55:07.030 So as evening approached, Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the 01:55:07.030 --> 01:55:12.150 council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and 01:55:12.150 --> 01:55:13.370 asked for Jesus' body. 01:55:17.100 --> 01:55:19.780 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. 01:55:20.620 --> 01:55:24.120 Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. 01:55:24.940 --> 01:55:29.100 When he learnt from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. 01:55:29.100 --> 01:55:34.800 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the 01:55:34.800 --> 01:55:38.180 linen and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. 01:55:38.940 --> 01:55:41.620 Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. 01:55:43.580 --> 01:55:47.340 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where he was laid. 01:55:54.100 --> 01:56:00.580 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome bought 01:56:00.580 --> 01:56:03.720 spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. 01:56:04.820 --> 01:56:10.280 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way 01:56:10.280 --> 01:56:15.100 to the tomb and they asked each other, who will roll the stone away from the 01:56:15.100 --> 01:56:15.940 entrance of the tomb? 01:56:20.760 --> 01:56:26.780 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been 01:56:26.780 --> 01:56:27.360 rolled away. 01:56:31.940 --> 01:56:37.640 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man, dressed in a white robe, sitting on 01:56:37.640 --> 01:56:38.540 the right side. 01:56:38.840 --> 01:56:40.060 And they were alarmed. 01:56:41.740 --> 01:56:43.560 Don't be alarmed, he said. 01:56:44.040 --> 01:56:47.360 You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. 01:56:48.240 --> 01:56:48.820 He has risen. 01:56:49.480 --> 01:56:50.220 He is not here. 01:56:51.200 --> 01:56:52.720 See the place where they laid him. 01:56:53.460 --> 01:56:56.300 But go, tell his disciples and Peter. 01:56:57.300 --> 01:56:59.160 He is going ahead of you into Galilee. 01:56:59.980 --> 01:57:02.760 There you will see him, just as he told you. 01:57:04.740 --> 01:57:08.200 Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. 01:57:09.160 --> 01:57:12.200 They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid. 01:57:18.430 --> 01:57:23.690 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary 01:57:23.690 --> 01:57:26.930 Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. 01:57:30.910 --> 01:57:34.830 She went and told those who had been with him, and who were mourning and weeping. 01:57:35.710 --> 01:57:40.770 When they heard that Jesus was alive, and that she had seen him, they did not 01:57:40.770 --> 01:57:41.270 believe it. 01:57:44.850 --> 01:57:49.470 Afterwards, Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were 01:57:49.470 --> 01:57:50.370 walking in the country. 01:57:51.890 --> 01:57:56.450 These returned and reported it to the rest, but they did not believe them 01:57:56.450 --> 01:57:56.790 either. 01:58:11.230 --> 01:58:14.590 Later Jesus appeared to the eleven as they were eating. 01:58:19.760 --> 01:58:23.980 He rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe 01:58:23.980 --> 01:58:25.840 those who had seen him after he had risen. 01:58:28.220 --> 01:58:33.640 He said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 01:58:34.240 --> 01:58:39.900 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will 01:58:39.900 --> 01:58:40.420 be condemned. 01:58:41.220 --> 01:58:43.860 And these signs will accompany those who believe. 01:58:44.820 --> 01:58:47.360 In my name they will drive out demons. 01:58:47.940 --> 01:58:49.840 They will speak in new tongues. 01:58:51.220 --> 01:58:56.000 They will pick up snakes with their hands, and when they drink deadly poison it will 01:58:56.000 --> 01:58:57.020 not hurt them at all. 01:58:57.660 --> 01:59:02.120 They will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well. 01:59:04.220 --> 01:59:10.340 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven, and he sat at 01:59:10.340 --> 01:59:11.540 the right hand of God. 01:59:29.460 --> 01:59:32.740 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere. 01:59:33.640 --> 01:59:39.440 And the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that 01:59:39.440 --> 01:59:40.220 accompanied it.
