Narrator:
Many have undertaken
to draw up an account
3
00:01:02,062 --> 00:01:07,893
of the things that have been
fulfilled among us,
4
00:01:07,937 --> 00:01:10,244
just as they were
handed down to us
5
00:01:10,287 --> 00:01:12,985
by those who from the first
were eyewitnesses
6
00:01:13,029 --> 00:01:15,466
and servants of the Word.
7
00:01:18,208 --> 00:01:21,037
With this in mind,
since I myself
8
00:01:21,081 --> 00:01:23,300
have carefully
investigated everything
9
00:01:23,344 --> 00:01:25,911
from the beginning,
10
00:01:25,955 --> 00:01:30,177
I, too, decided to write
an orderly account for you,
11
00:01:30,220 --> 00:01:33,136
most excellent Theophilus,
12
00:01:33,180 --> 00:01:35,617
so that you may know
the certainty of the things
13
00:01:35,660 --> 00:01:37,401
you have been taught.
14
00:01:47,890 --> 00:01:51,067
In the time of Herod,
King of Judea,
15
00:01:51,111 --> 00:01:53,765
there was a priest
named Zechariah,
16
00:01:53,809 --> 00:01:58,944
who belonged to the priestly
division of Abijah.
17
00:01:58,988 --> 00:02:02,687
His wife, Elizabeth,
was also a descendent
of Aaron.
18
00:02:02,731 --> 00:02:05,690
Both of them were righteous
in the sight of God,
19
00:02:05,734 --> 00:02:10,304
observing all the Lord's
commands and decrees
blamelessly.
20
00:02:10,347 --> 00:02:13,350
But they were childless
because Elizabeth
21
00:02:13,394 --> 00:02:16,919
was not able to conceive,
and they were both very old.
22
00:02:20,879 --> 00:02:23,708
Once when Zechariah's
division was on duty
23
00:02:23,752 --> 00:02:26,363
and he was serving
as priest before God,
24
00:02:26,407 --> 00:02:28,322
he was chosen by lot,
25
00:02:28,365 --> 00:02:30,585
according to the custom
of the priesthood,
26
00:02:30,628 --> 00:02:34,023
to go into
the temple of the Lord
and burn incense.
27
00:02:34,066 --> 00:02:36,504
And when the time
for the burning of
incense came,
28
00:02:36,547 --> 00:02:41,465
all the assembled worshippers
were praying outside.
29
00:02:41,509 --> 00:02:43,859
[ speaking in Aramaic ]
30
00:02:52,955 --> 00:02:56,132
Then an angel of the Lord
appeared to him,
31
00:02:56,176 --> 00:03:00,267
standing at the right side
of the altar of incense.
32
00:03:00,310 --> 00:03:03,313
When Zechariah saw him,
he was startled
33
00:03:03,357 --> 00:03:05,663
and was gripped with fear.
34
00:03:05,707 --> 00:03:10,190
But the angel said to him,
"Do not be afraid, Zechariah,
35
00:03:10,233 --> 00:03:12,670
your prayer has been heard.
36
00:03:12,714 --> 00:03:15,673
Your wife, Elizabeth,
will bear you a son,
37
00:03:15,717 --> 00:03:18,546
and you are
to call him John.
38
00:03:18,589 --> 00:03:21,070
He will be a joy
and delight to you,
39
00:03:21,113 --> 00:03:23,725
and many will rejoice
because of his birth,
40
00:03:23,768 --> 00:03:26,902
for he will be great
in the sight of the Lord.
41
00:03:26,945 --> 00:03:30,297
He is never to take wine
or other fermented drink,
42
00:03:30,340 --> 00:03:32,690
and he will be filled
with the Holy Spirit
43
00:03:32,734 --> 00:03:35,867
even before he is born.
44
00:03:35,911 --> 00:03:38,740
He will bring back many
of the people of Israel
45
00:03:38,783 --> 00:03:41,046
to the Lord their God.
46
00:03:41,090 --> 00:03:43,397
And he will go on
before the Lord,
47
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,226
in the spirit
and power of Elijah,
48
00:03:46,269 --> 00:03:48,880
to turn the hearts of
the parents to their children
49
00:03:48,924 --> 00:03:52,101
and the disobedient to
the wisdom of the righteous--
50
00:03:52,144 --> 00:03:56,366
to make ready a people
prepared for the Lord."
51
00:03:58,368 --> 00:04:03,895
Zechariah asked the angel,
"How can I be sure of this?
52
00:04:03,939 --> 00:04:09,727
I am an old man, and my wife
is well along in years."
53
00:04:09,771 --> 00:04:13,514
The angel said to him,
"I am Gabriel.
54
00:04:13,557 --> 00:04:15,994
I stand in the presence
of God,
55
00:04:16,038 --> 00:04:17,953
and I have been sent
to speak to you
56
00:04:17,996 --> 00:04:19,737
and to tell you
this good news.
57
00:04:19,781 --> 00:04:23,741
And now you will be silent
and not able to speak
58
00:04:23,785 --> 00:04:25,569
until the day this happens,
59
00:04:25,613 --> 00:04:28,746
because you did not
believe my words,
60
00:04:28,790 --> 00:04:31,488
which will come true
at their appointed time."
61
00:04:38,365 --> 00:04:41,411
Meanwhile, the people
were waiting for Zechariah
62
00:04:41,455 --> 00:04:44,327
and wondering why he stayed
so long in the temple.
63
00:04:47,896 --> 00:04:51,291
When he came out,
he could not speak to them.
64
00:04:53,380 --> 00:04:56,687
They realized he had seen
a vision in the temple,
65
00:04:56,731 --> 00:04:58,472
for he kept making
signs to them
66
00:04:58,515 --> 00:05:00,212
but remained
unable to speak.
67
00:05:03,825 --> 00:05:05,870
When his time of service
was completed,
68
00:05:05,914 --> 00:05:08,482
he returned home.
69
00:05:08,525 --> 00:05:11,398
After this, his wife,
Elizabeth, became pregnant
70
00:05:11,441 --> 00:05:15,358
and for five months
remained in seclusion.
71
00:05:15,402 --> 00:05:18,492
"The Lord has done
this for me," she said.
72
00:05:18,535 --> 00:05:21,277
"In these days
he has shown his favor
73
00:05:21,321 --> 00:05:23,584
and taken away my disgrace
among the people."
74
00:05:35,204 --> 00:05:38,250
In the sixth month
of Elizabeth's pregnancy,
75
00:05:38,294 --> 00:05:41,210
God sent the angel, Gabriel,
to Nazareth,
76
00:05:41,253 --> 00:05:43,517
a town in Galilee...
77
00:05:45,606 --> 00:05:47,564
to a virgin pledged
to be married
78
00:05:47,608 --> 00:05:50,306
to a man named Joseph,
a descendant of David.
79
00:05:57,357 --> 00:06:00,403
The virgin's name
was Mary.
80
00:06:03,798 --> 00:06:06,104
The angel went to her
and said,
81
00:06:06,148 --> 00:06:10,239
"Greetings,
you who are highly favored!
82
00:06:10,282 --> 00:06:13,111
The Lord is with you."
83
00:06:13,155 --> 00:06:15,810
Mary was greatly troubled
at his words,
84
00:06:15,853 --> 00:06:19,857
and wondered what kind of
greeting this might be.
85
00:06:19,901 --> 00:06:24,296
But the angel said to her,
"Do not be afraid, Mary,
86
00:06:24,340 --> 00:06:27,952
you have found
favor with God.
87
00:06:27,996 --> 00:06:31,173
You will conceive
and give birth to a son,
88
00:06:31,216 --> 00:06:34,698
and you are
to call him Jesus.
89
00:06:34,742 --> 00:06:36,396
He will be great
90
00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:40,182
and will be called
the Son of the Most High.
91
00:06:40,225 --> 00:06:44,752
The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,
92
00:06:44,795 --> 00:06:48,320
and he will reign over Jacob's
descendants forever.
93
00:06:48,364 --> 00:06:53,064
His kingdom will never end."
94
00:06:53,108 --> 00:06:56,372
"How will this be,"
Mary asked the angel,
95
00:06:56,416 --> 00:06:58,548
"since I am a virgin?"
96
00:06:58,592 --> 00:07:00,202
The angel answered,
97
00:07:00,245 --> 00:07:02,857
"The Holy Spirit
will come on you,
98
00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:06,513
and the power of the Most High will overshadow you,
99
00:07:06,556 --> 00:07:11,779
so the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.
100
00:07:14,216 --> 00:07:15,783
Even Elizabeth,
your relative,
101
00:07:15,826 --> 00:07:19,613
is going to have a child
in her old age,
102
00:07:19,656 --> 00:07:22,006
and she who was said to be
unable to conceive
103
00:07:22,050 --> 00:07:24,705
is in her sixth month,
104
00:07:24,748 --> 00:07:28,709
for no word form God
will ever fail."
105
00:07:28,752 --> 00:07:32,060
"I am the Lord's servant,"
Mary answered.
106
00:07:32,103 --> 00:07:35,977
"May your word to me
be fulfilled."
107
00:07:36,020 --> 00:07:38,327
Then the angel left her.
108
00:07:59,043 --> 00:08:02,960
At that time Mary got ready
and hurried to a town
109
00:08:03,004 --> 00:08:06,398
in the hill country of Judea,
110
00:08:06,442 --> 00:08:08,270
where she entered
Zechariah's home
111
00:08:08,313 --> 00:08:09,750
and greeted Elizabeth.
112
00:08:09,793 --> 00:08:11,447
Elizabeth!
113
00:08:11,491 --> 00:08:15,495
When Elizabeth
heard Mary's greeting,
114
00:08:15,538 --> 00:08:19,194
the baby leapt in her womb,
115
00:08:19,237 --> 00:08:21,762
and Elizabeth was filled
with the Holy Spirit.
116
00:08:21,805 --> 00:08:26,810
In a loud voice she exclaimed, "Blessed are you among women,
117
00:08:26,854 --> 00:08:30,161
and blessed is the child
you will bear!
118
00:08:30,205 --> 00:08:33,817
But why am I so favored,
that the mother of my Lord
119
00:08:33,861 --> 00:08:35,602
should come to me?
120
00:08:35,645 --> 00:08:37,865
As soon as the sound
of your greeting
121
00:08:37,908 --> 00:08:39,344
reached my ears,
122
00:08:39,388 --> 00:08:42,478
the baby in my womb
leapt for joy.
123
00:08:42,522 --> 00:08:45,263
Blessed is she who has
believed that the Lord
124
00:08:45,307 --> 00:08:48,353
would fulfill
his promises to her!"
125
00:08:48,397 --> 00:08:52,836
And Mary said, "My soul glorifies the Lord...
126
00:08:56,753 --> 00:09:00,322
and my spirit rejoices
in God my Savior,
127
00:09:00,365 --> 00:09:03,673
for he has been mindful
of the humble state
of his servant.
128
00:09:06,633 --> 00:09:10,114
From now on, all generations
will call me blessed...
129
00:09:13,030 --> 00:09:16,599
for the Mighty One has done
great things for me,
130
00:09:16,643 --> 00:09:18,166
holy is his name.
131
00:09:21,386 --> 00:09:23,911
His mercy extends
to those who fear him,
132
00:09:23,954 --> 00:09:26,783
from generation
to generation.
133
00:09:26,827 --> 00:09:30,004
He has performed
mighty deeds with his arm...
134
00:09:33,268 --> 00:09:35,618
he has scattered those
who are proud
135
00:09:35,662 --> 00:09:37,489
in their inmost thoughts.
136
00:09:37,533 --> 00:09:40,580
He has brought down rulers
from their thrones
137
00:09:40,623 --> 00:09:42,625
but has lifted up
the humble.
138
00:09:42,669 --> 00:09:45,628
He has filled the hungry
with good things
139
00:09:45,672 --> 00:09:48,718
but has sent the rich
away empty.
140
00:09:48,762 --> 00:09:50,938
He has helped
his servant Israel,
141
00:09:50,981 --> 00:09:53,331
remembering
to be merciful to Abraham
142
00:09:53,375 --> 00:09:55,333
and his descendants
forever,
143
00:09:55,377 --> 00:09:58,598
just as he promised
our ancestors."
144
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,431
Mary stayed with Elizabeth
for about three months
145
00:10:06,475 --> 00:10:08,825
and then returned home.
146
00:10:15,571 --> 00:10:16,920
When it was time
for Elizabeth
147
00:10:16,964 --> 00:10:18,400
to have her baby,
148
00:10:18,443 --> 00:10:20,402
she gave birth
to a son.
149
00:10:23,144 --> 00:10:25,668
Her neighbors and relatives
heard that the Lord
150
00:10:25,712 --> 00:10:29,063
had shown her great mercy,
and they shared her joy.
151
00:10:32,066 --> 00:10:36,287
On the eighth day they came
to circumcise the child,
152
00:10:36,331 --> 00:10:37,637
and they were going
to name him
153
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:39,987
after his father
Zechariah,
154
00:10:42,729 --> 00:10:45,819
but his mother spoke up
and said, "No!
155
00:10:45,862 --> 00:10:48,865
He is to be called John."
156
00:10:48,909 --> 00:10:51,694
They said to her,
"There is no one among
your relatives
157
00:10:51,738 --> 00:10:53,870
who has that name."
158
00:10:53,914 --> 00:10:55,742
Then they made signs
to his father,
159
00:10:55,785 --> 00:10:57,178
to find out
what he would like
160
00:10:57,221 --> 00:10:58,832
to name the child.
161
00:10:58,875 --> 00:11:01,443
He asked
for a writing tablet,
162
00:11:04,533 --> 00:11:06,274
and to everyone's
astonishment
163
00:11:06,317 --> 00:11:09,886
he wrote,
"His name is John."
164
00:11:18,155 --> 00:11:20,723
Immediately his mouth
was opened
165
00:11:20,767 --> 00:11:22,638
and his tongue set free,
166
00:11:22,682 --> 00:11:25,510
and he began to speak,
praising God.
167
00:11:29,210 --> 00:11:31,995
All the neighbors
were filled with awe,
168
00:11:32,039 --> 00:11:34,084
and throughout
the hill country of Judea
169
00:11:34,128 --> 00:11:36,870
people were talking
about all these things.
170
00:11:40,438 --> 00:11:44,007
Everyone who heard this
wondered about it, asking,
171
00:11:44,051 --> 00:11:47,184
"What then is this child
going to be?",
172
00:11:47,228 --> 00:11:49,186
for the Lord's hand
was with him.
173
00:11:52,755 --> 00:11:54,888
His father Zechariah
was filled
174
00:11:54,931 --> 00:11:56,672
with the Holy Spirit
175
00:11:56,716 --> 00:12:00,067
and prophesied,
"Praise be to the Lord,
176
00:12:00,110 --> 00:12:01,590
the God of Israel,
177
00:12:01,633 --> 00:12:03,461
because he has come
to his people
178
00:12:03,505 --> 00:12:05,289
and redeemed them.
179
00:12:05,333 --> 00:12:08,336
He has raised up a horn
of salvation for us
180
00:12:08,379 --> 00:12:10,425
in the house
of his servant David,
181
00:12:10,468 --> 00:12:13,950
as he said through his holy
prophets of long ago.
182
00:12:13,994 --> 00:12:15,735
Salvation
from our enemies
183
00:12:15,778 --> 00:12:18,389
and from the hand
of all who hate us.
184
00:12:18,433 --> 00:12:20,914
To show mercy
to our ancestors
185
00:12:20,957 --> 00:12:23,177
and to remember
his holy covenant,
186
00:12:23,220 --> 00:12:26,354
the oath he swore
to our father Abraham.
187
00:12:26,397 --> 00:12:29,052
To rescue us from the hand
of our enemies,
188
00:12:29,096 --> 00:12:31,489
and to enable us
to serve him without fear,
189
00:12:31,533 --> 00:12:33,230
in holiness
and righteousness,
190
00:12:33,274 --> 00:12:37,060
before him
all our days.
191
00:12:37,104 --> 00:12:40,324
And you, my child,
will be called a prophet
192
00:12:40,368 --> 00:12:42,022
of the Most High,
193
00:12:42,065 --> 00:12:44,372
for you will go on
before the Lord
194
00:12:44,415 --> 00:12:46,069
to prepare
the way for him,
195
00:12:46,113 --> 00:12:48,724
to give his people
the knowledge of salvation
196
00:12:48,768 --> 00:12:51,248
through the forgiveness
of their sins,
197
00:12:51,292 --> 00:12:54,164
because of the tender mercy
of our God,
198
00:12:54,208 --> 00:12:57,646
by which the rising sun
will come to us from heaven
199
00:12:57,689 --> 00:13:00,518
to shine on those
living in darkness
200
00:13:00,562 --> 00:13:02,825
and in the shadow of death,
201
00:13:02,869 --> 00:13:07,482
to guide our feet
into the path of peace."
202
00:13:09,310 --> 00:13:13,314
And the child grew
and became strong in spirit,
203
00:13:13,357 --> 00:13:15,055
and he lived
in the wilderness
204
00:13:15,098 --> 00:13:18,058
until he appeared
publicly to Israel.
205
00:13:29,765 --> 00:13:33,029
In those days
Caesar Augustus
206
00:13:33,073 --> 00:13:34,857
issued a decree
that a census
207
00:13:34,901 --> 00:13:37,817
should be taken
of the entire Roman world.
208
00:13:37,860 --> 00:13:39,993
This was the first census
that took place
209
00:13:40,036 --> 00:13:42,865
while Quirinius
was governor of Syria,
210
00:13:42,909 --> 00:13:46,347
and everyone went to
their own town to register.
211
00:13:48,697 --> 00:13:50,568
So Joseph also went up
212
00:13:50,612 --> 00:13:53,180
from the town of Nazareth
in Galilee to Judea,
213
00:13:53,223 --> 00:13:56,270
to Bethlehem,
the town of David,
214
00:13:56,313 --> 00:13:58,011
because he belonged
to the house
215
00:13:58,054 --> 00:14:00,143
and line of David.
216
00:14:00,187 --> 00:14:02,667
He went there
to register with Mary,
217
00:14:02,711 --> 00:14:04,756
who was pledged
to be married to him
218
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,758
and was expecting a child.
219
00:14:09,936 --> 00:14:12,025
While they were there,
the time came
220
00:14:12,068 --> 00:14:14,070
for the baby to be born...
221
00:14:25,952 --> 00:14:28,955
and she gave birth
to her firstborn...
222
00:14:31,740 --> 00:14:33,089
a son.
223
00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:42,055
She wrapped him in cloths
and placed him in a manger,
224
00:14:42,098 --> 00:14:43,926
because there was
no guest room
225
00:14:43,970 --> 00:14:45,580
available for them.
226
00:14:50,541 --> 00:14:53,370
And there were shepherds
living out in the fields
nearby,
227
00:14:53,414 --> 00:14:56,112
keeping watch
over their flocks at night.
228
00:14:58,854 --> 00:15:01,161
An angel of the Lord
appeared to them,
229
00:15:01,204 --> 00:15:03,859
and the glory of the Lord
shone around them,
230
00:15:03,903 --> 00:15:05,948
and they were terrified.
231
00:15:05,992 --> 00:15:10,910
But the angel said to them,
"Do not be afraid.
232
00:15:10,953 --> 00:15:14,391
I bring you good news
that will cause great joy
233
00:15:14,435 --> 00:15:16,306
for all the people.
234
00:15:16,350 --> 00:15:18,613
Today in the town of David,
235
00:15:18,656 --> 00:15:21,268
a Savior
has been born to you.
236
00:15:21,311 --> 00:15:24,836
He is the Messiah,
the Lord.
237
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,317
This will be
a sign to you.
238
00:15:27,361 --> 00:15:29,798
You will find a baby
wrapped in cloths
239
00:15:29,841 --> 00:15:32,932
and lying in a manger."
240
00:15:32,975 --> 00:15:35,630
Suddenly a great company
of the heavenly host
241
00:15:35,673 --> 00:15:39,634
appeared with the angel,
praising God and saying,
242
00:15:39,677 --> 00:15:43,420
"Glory to God
in the highest heaven,
and on Earth,
243
00:15:43,464 --> 00:15:46,946
peace to those on whom
his favor rests."
244
00:15:52,777 --> 00:15:54,127
When the angels
had left them
245
00:15:54,170 --> 00:15:55,824
and gone into heaven,
246
00:15:55,867 --> 00:15:57,957
the shepherds
said to one another,
247
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,610
"Let's go to Bethlehem
248
00:15:59,654 --> 00:16:01,873
and see this thing
that has happened
249
00:16:01,917 --> 00:16:03,919
which the Lord
has told us about."
250
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:07,618
So they hurried off
and found Mary and Joseph
251
00:16:07,662 --> 00:16:10,447
and the baby,
who was lying in the manger.
252
00:16:12,232 --> 00:16:14,930
When they had seen him,
they spread the word
253
00:16:14,974 --> 00:16:16,584
concerning what had
been told them
254
00:16:16,627 --> 00:16:18,064
about this child,
255
00:16:18,107 --> 00:16:20,066
and all who heard it
were amazed
256
00:16:20,109 --> 00:16:23,591
at what the shepherds
said to them.
257
00:16:23,634 --> 00:16:26,159
But Mary treasured up
all these things
258
00:16:26,202 --> 00:16:29,336
and pondered them
in her heart.
259
00:16:29,379 --> 00:16:33,122
The shepherds returned,
glorifying and praising God
260
00:16:33,166 --> 00:16:36,734
for all the things
they had heard and seen,
261
00:16:36,778 --> 00:16:39,346
which were just
as they had been told.
262
00:16:41,913 --> 00:16:43,437
On the eighth day,
263
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,743
when it was time
to circumcise the child,
264
00:16:45,787 --> 00:16:47,571
he was named Jesus,
265
00:16:47,615 --> 00:16:49,617
the name the angel
had given him
266
00:16:49,660 --> 00:16:51,880
before he was conceived.
267
00:17:00,062 --> 00:17:02,238
When the time came
for the purification rites
268
00:17:02,282 --> 00:17:05,067
required
by the Law of Moses,
269
00:17:05,111 --> 00:17:07,374
Joseph and Mary
took him to Jerusalem
270
00:17:07,417 --> 00:17:09,463
to present him
to the Lord,
271
00:17:09,506 --> 00:17:12,031
as it is written
in the Law of the Lord,
272
00:17:12,074 --> 00:17:16,426
"Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord",
273
00:17:16,470 --> 00:17:19,690
and to offer a sacrifice
in keeping with what is said
274
00:17:19,734 --> 00:17:22,128
in the Law of the Lord,
275
00:17:22,171 --> 00:17:26,001
"a pair of doves
or two young pigeons."
276
00:17:26,045 --> 00:17:29,657
Now there was a man
in Jerusalem called Simeon,
277
00:17:29,700 --> 00:17:31,963
who was righteous
and devout.
278
00:17:32,007 --> 00:17:34,792
He was waiting
for the consolation
of Israel,
279
00:17:34,836 --> 00:17:37,273
and the Holy Spirit
was on him.
280
00:17:37,317 --> 00:17:40,233
It had been revealed to him
by the Holy Spirit
281
00:17:40,276 --> 00:17:42,278
that he would not
die before he had seen
282
00:17:42,322 --> 00:17:45,542
the Lord's Messiah.
283
00:17:45,586 --> 00:17:46,978
Moved by the Spirit,
284
00:17:47,022 --> 00:17:49,677
he went into
the temple courts.
285
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,114
When the parents
brought in the child Jesus
286
00:17:52,158 --> 00:17:53,724
to do for him
what the custom
287
00:17:53,768 --> 00:17:56,205
of the Law required,
288
00:17:56,249 --> 00:17:59,252
Simeon took him in his arms
and praised God,
289
00:17:59,295 --> 00:18:02,777
saying,
"Sovereign Lord,
290
00:18:02,820 --> 00:18:04,344
as you have promised,
291
00:18:04,387 --> 00:18:08,087
you may now dismiss
your servant in peace.
292
00:18:08,130 --> 00:18:10,915
For my eyes have seen
your salvation,
293
00:18:10,959 --> 00:18:14,963
which you have prepared
in the sight of all nations,
294
00:18:15,006 --> 00:18:18,053
a light for revelation
to the Gentiles,
295
00:18:18,097 --> 00:18:21,926
and the glory
of your people Israel."
296
00:18:21,970 --> 00:18:23,798
The child's
father and mother
297
00:18:23,841 --> 00:18:27,149
marveled at what
was said about him.
298
00:18:27,193 --> 00:18:28,890
Then Simeon blessed them
299
00:18:28,933 --> 00:18:32,154
and said to Mary,
his mother,
300
00:18:32,198 --> 00:18:34,852
"This child is destined
to cause the falling
301
00:18:34,896 --> 00:18:38,029
and rising
of many in Israel,
302
00:18:38,073 --> 00:18:41,207
and to be a sign
that will be spoken against,
303
00:18:41,250 --> 00:18:42,947
so that the thoughts
of many hearts
304
00:18:42,991 --> 00:18:44,906
will be revealed.
305
00:18:44,949 --> 00:18:47,865
And a sword will pierce
your own soul, too."
306
00:18:50,477 --> 00:18:52,609
There was also
a prophet, Anna,
307
00:18:52,653 --> 00:18:56,700
the daughter of Penuel,
of the tribe of Asher.
308
00:18:56,744 --> 00:18:58,963
She was very old.
309
00:18:59,007 --> 00:19:00,356
She had lived
with her husband
310
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,489
seven years
after her marriage,
311
00:19:02,532 --> 00:19:07,189
and then was a widow
until she was eighty-four.
312
00:19:07,233 --> 00:19:11,062
She never left the temple,
but worshiped night and day,
313
00:19:11,106 --> 00:19:14,022
fasting and praying.
314
00:19:14,065 --> 00:19:16,155
Coming up to them
at that very moment,
315
00:19:16,198 --> 00:19:17,808
she gave thanks to God
316
00:19:17,852 --> 00:19:19,201
and spoke about the child
317
00:19:19,245 --> 00:19:21,203
to all who were
looking forward
318
00:19:21,247 --> 00:19:26,426
to the redemption
of Jerusalem.
319
00:19:26,469 --> 00:19:28,732
When Joseph and Mary
had done everything
320
00:19:28,776 --> 00:19:32,127
required by
the Law of the Lord,
321
00:19:32,171 --> 00:19:35,913
they returned to Galilee
to their own town
of Nazareth.
322
00:19:35,957 --> 00:19:39,743
And the child grew
and became strong,
323
00:19:39,787 --> 00:19:41,397
he was filled with wisdom,
324
00:19:41,441 --> 00:19:43,921
and the grace of God
was on him.
325
00:19:49,579 --> 00:19:53,148
Every year Jesus' parents
went to Jerusalem
326
00:19:53,192 --> 00:19:55,281
for the Festival
of the Passover.
327
00:19:58,675 --> 00:20:00,155
When he was
12 years old,
328
00:20:00,199 --> 00:20:01,548
they went up
to the festival,
329
00:20:01,591 --> 00:20:03,027
according to the custom.
330
00:20:06,205 --> 00:20:08,250
After the festival was over,
331
00:20:08,294 --> 00:20:10,861
while his parents
were returning home,
332
00:20:10,905 --> 00:20:15,214
the boy Jesus
stayed behind in Jerusalem,
333
00:20:15,257 --> 00:20:17,085
but they were
unaware of it.
334
00:20:21,350 --> 00:20:23,657
Thinking he was
in their company,
335
00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:26,921
they traveled on
for a day.
336
00:20:26,964 --> 00:20:28,749
Then they began
looking for him
337
00:20:28,792 --> 00:20:32,231
among their relatives
and friends.
338
00:20:32,274 --> 00:20:33,884
When they did not find him,
339
00:20:33,928 --> 00:20:37,801
they went back to Jerusalem
to look for him.
340
00:20:41,718 --> 00:20:43,807
After three days
they found him
341
00:20:43,851 --> 00:20:45,722
in the temple courts,
342
00:20:45,766 --> 00:20:47,420
sitting among
the teachers,
343
00:20:47,463 --> 00:20:51,250
listening to them
and asking them questions.
344
00:20:51,293 --> 00:20:53,382
Everyone who heard him
was amazed
345
00:20:53,426 --> 00:20:55,819
at his understanding
and his answers.
346
00:20:57,691 --> 00:21:01,477
When his parents saw him,
they were astonished.
347
00:21:01,521 --> 00:21:03,349
His mother said to him,
348
00:21:03,392 --> 00:21:06,265
"Son, why have you
treated us like this?
349
00:21:06,308 --> 00:21:10,138
Your father and I
have been anxiously
searching for you."
350
00:21:10,181 --> 00:21:13,663
"Why were you searching
for me?", he asked.
351
00:21:13,707 --> 00:21:17,319
"Didn't you know I had to be
in my Father's house?"
352
00:21:17,363 --> 00:21:20,322
But they did not understand
what he was saying to them.
353
00:21:24,283 --> 00:21:26,502
Then he went down
to Nazareth with them
354
00:21:26,546 --> 00:21:29,418
and was obedient to them,
355
00:21:29,462 --> 00:21:33,727
but his mother treasured
all these things
in her heart,
356
00:21:33,770 --> 00:21:36,295
and Jesus grew in wisdom
and stature,
357
00:21:36,338 --> 00:21:38,862
and in favor
with God and man.
358
00:21:46,392 --> 00:21:48,307
In the fifteenth year
of the reign
359
00:21:48,350 --> 00:21:50,352
of Tiberius Caesar,
360
00:21:50,396 --> 00:21:53,181
when Pontius Pilate
was governor of Judea,
361
00:21:53,224 --> 00:21:55,836
Herod tetrarch of Galilee,
362
00:21:55,879 --> 00:22:00,188
his brother Philip tetrarch
of Iturea and Traconitis,
363
00:22:00,231 --> 00:22:03,539
and Lysanias tetrarch
of Abilene,
364
00:22:03,583 --> 00:22:06,412
during the high-priesthood
of Annas and Caiaphas,
365
00:22:06,455 --> 00:22:08,588
the word of God
came to John,
366
00:22:08,631 --> 00:22:11,242
son of Zechariah,
in the wilderness.
367
00:22:17,205 --> 00:22:20,382
He went into all the country
around the Jordan,
368
00:22:20,426 --> 00:22:22,645
preaching a baptism
of repentance
369
00:22:22,689 --> 00:22:25,779
for the forgiveness
of sins.
370
00:22:25,822 --> 00:22:27,868
As it is written
in the book of the words
371
00:22:27,911 --> 00:22:30,697
of Isaiah the prophet,
372
00:22:30,740 --> 00:22:34,701
"A voice of one calling
in the wilderness,
373
00:22:34,744 --> 00:22:36,703
'Prepare the way
for the Lord,
374
00:22:36,746 --> 00:22:38,574
make straight paths
for him.
375
00:22:38,618 --> 00:22:40,837
Every valley
shall be filled in,
376
00:22:40,881 --> 00:22:44,101
every mountain
and hill made low.
377
00:22:44,145 --> 00:22:46,800
The crooked roads
shall become straight,
378
00:22:46,843 --> 00:22:49,498
the rough ways smooth.
379
00:22:49,542 --> 00:22:52,371
And all people
will see God's salvation.'"
380
00:22:58,855 --> 00:23:00,770
John said to the crowds
coming out
381
00:23:00,814 --> 00:23:02,859
to be baptized by him,
382
00:23:02,903 --> 00:23:05,122
"You brood of vipers!
383
00:23:05,166 --> 00:23:08,865
Who warned you to flee
from the coming wrath?
384
00:23:08,909 --> 00:23:11,564
Produce fruit in keeping
with repentance.
385
00:23:11,607 --> 00:23:13,957
And do not begin
to say to yourselves,
386
00:23:14,001 --> 00:23:17,134
'We have Abraham
as our father.'
387
00:23:17,178 --> 00:23:19,789
For I tell you
that out of these stones,
388
00:23:19,833 --> 00:23:22,749
God can raise up children
for Abraham.
389
00:23:22,792 --> 00:23:25,229
The ax is already
at the root of the trees,
390
00:23:25,273 --> 00:23:27,971
and every tree that does not
produce good fruit
391
00:23:28,015 --> 00:23:30,409
will be cut down
and thrown into the fire."
392
00:23:32,541 --> 00:23:35,457
"What should we do then?",
the crowd asked.
393
00:23:35,501 --> 00:23:38,678
John answered,
"Anyone who has two shirts
394
00:23:38,721 --> 00:23:41,855
should share with
the one who has none,
395
00:23:41,898 --> 00:23:46,163
and anyone who has food
should do the same."
396
00:23:46,207 --> 00:23:49,340
Even tax collectors
came to be baptized.
397
00:23:49,384 --> 00:23:52,692
"Teacher," they asked,
"What should we do?"
398
00:23:52,735 --> 00:23:57,523
"Don't collect any more
than you are required to,"
he told them.
399
00:23:57,566 --> 00:24:02,179
Then some soldiers asked him,
"And what should we do?"
400
00:24:02,223 --> 00:24:05,095
He replied,
"Don't extort money
401
00:24:05,139 --> 00:24:08,447
and don't accuse people
falsely.
402
00:24:08,490 --> 00:24:11,101
Be content
with your pay."
403
00:24:11,145 --> 00:24:13,843
The people were waiting
expectantly
404
00:24:13,887 --> 00:24:15,889
and were all wondering
in their hearts
405
00:24:15,932 --> 00:24:19,022
if John might possibly
be the Messiah.
406
00:24:19,066 --> 00:24:24,680
John answered them all,
"I baptize you with water.
407
00:24:24,724 --> 00:24:27,901
But one who is more powerful
than I will come,
408
00:24:27,944 --> 00:24:32,862
the straps of whose sandals
I am not worthy to untie.
409
00:24:32,906 --> 00:24:34,342
He will baptize you
410
00:24:34,385 --> 00:24:36,779
with the Holy Spirit
and fire.
411
00:24:36,823 --> 00:24:39,173
His winnowing fork
is in his hand
412
00:24:39,216 --> 00:24:41,175
to clear
his threshing floor
413
00:24:41,218 --> 00:24:44,221
and to gather the wheat
into his barn,
414
00:24:44,265 --> 00:24:45,919
but he will burn up
the chaff
415
00:24:45,962 --> 00:24:48,530
with unquenchable fire."
416
00:24:48,574 --> 00:24:51,707
And with many other words,
John exhorted the people
417
00:24:51,751 --> 00:24:55,058
and proclaimed
the good news to them.
418
00:24:55,102 --> 00:24:57,887
But when John rebuked
Herod the tetrarch
419
00:24:57,931 --> 00:24:59,628
because of his marriage
to Herodias,
420
00:24:59,672 --> 00:25:01,412
his brother's wife,
421
00:25:01,456 --> 00:25:04,285
and all the other
evil things he had done,
422
00:25:04,328 --> 00:25:06,722
Herod added this
to them all.
423
00:25:06,766 --> 00:25:08,637
He locked John
up in prison.
424
00:25:20,301 --> 00:25:22,564
When all the people
were being baptized,
425
00:25:22,608 --> 00:25:24,871
Jesus was baptized, too.
426
00:25:38,537 --> 00:25:41,670
And as he was praying,
heaven was opened
427
00:25:41,714 --> 00:25:43,672
and the Holy Spirit
descended on him
428
00:25:43,716 --> 00:25:46,501
in bodily form
like a dove.
429
00:25:48,721 --> 00:25:50,810
And a voice
came from heaven,
430
00:25:50,853 --> 00:25:54,553
"You are my Son,
whom I love,
431
00:25:54,596 --> 00:25:57,381
with you
I am well pleased."
432
00:26:02,343 --> 00:26:05,215
Now Jesus himself
was about 30 years old
433
00:26:05,259 --> 00:26:07,740
when he began his ministry.
434
00:26:07,783 --> 00:26:10,003
He was the son,
so it was thought,
435
00:26:10,046 --> 00:26:12,571
of Joseph,
the son of Heli,
436
00:26:12,614 --> 00:26:14,834

437
00:26:14,877 --> 00:26:17,706

00:26:30,371 --> 00:26:33,548

00:26:39,598 --> 00:26:42,513

00:26:42,557 --> 00:26:45,342
the son of Melki,

00:26:45,386 --> 00:26:47,997

00:26:48,041 --> 00:26:50,826

00:26:53,437 --> 00:26:56,049

00:26:56,092 --> 00:26:58,878

00:26:58,921 --> 00:27:01,532
the son of Joseph,
the son of Jonam,
453
00:27:01,576 --> 00:27:04,623
the son of Eliakim,

00:27:04,666 --> 00:27:07,451
the son of Menna,

455
00:27:07,495 --> 00:27:10,237

the son of Boaz,

00:27:16,635 --> 00:27:19,681
the son of Nahshon,

00:27:19,725 --> 00:27:22,858
the son of Ram,

00:27:22,902 --> 00:27:25,600

00:27:25,644 --> 00:27:28,342
the son of Jacob,

00:27:28,385 --> 00:27:30,997
the son of Abraham,

463
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,869
the son of Nahor,

00:27:33,913 --> 00:27:36,350

00:27:36,393 --> 00:27:39,092

470
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,323
the son of Mahalalel,
the son of Kenan,
471
00:27:53,367 --> 00:27:56,457
the son of Enosh,
the son of Seth,
472
00:27:56,500 --> 00:28:00,461
the son of Adam,
the son of God.
473
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,991
Jesus,
full of the Holy Spirit,
474
00:28:09,035 --> 00:28:11,994
left the Jordan
and was led by the Spirit
475
00:28:12,038 --> 00:28:15,215
into the wilderness,
476
00:28:15,258 --> 00:28:19,088
where for forty days
he was tempted by the devil.
477
00:28:22,396 --> 00:28:24,877
He ate nothing
during those days,
478
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,489
and at the end of them
he was hungry.
479
00:28:28,532 --> 00:28:33,102
The devil said to him,
"If you are the Son of God,
480
00:28:33,146 --> 00:28:35,975
tell this stone
to become bread."
481
00:28:36,018 --> 00:28:38,760
Jesus answered,
"It is written,
482
00:28:38,804 --> 00:28:41,937
'Man shall not live
on bread alone.'"
483
00:28:46,507 --> 00:28:48,944
The devil led him up
to a high place
484
00:28:48,988 --> 00:28:50,641
and showed him
in an instant
485
00:28:50,685 --> 00:28:52,818
all the kingdoms
of the world.
486
00:28:52,861 --> 00:28:55,559
And he said to him,
"I will give you
487
00:28:55,603 --> 00:28:58,780
all their authority
and splendor.
488
00:28:58,824 --> 00:29:00,521
It has been given to me,
489
00:29:00,564 --> 00:29:02,915
and I can give it
to anyone I want to.
490
00:29:02,958 --> 00:29:05,787
If you worship me,
491
00:29:05,831 --> 00:29:08,355
it will all be yours."
492
00:29:08,398 --> 00:29:11,227
Jesus answered,
"It is written,
493
00:29:11,271 --> 00:29:15,841
'Worship the Lord your God
and serve him only.'"
494
00:29:15,884 --> 00:29:18,147
The devil led him
to Jerusalem
495
00:29:18,191 --> 00:29:22,499
and had him stand
on the highest point
of the temple.
496
00:29:22,543 --> 00:29:25,285
"If you are
the Son of God,"
he said,
497
00:29:25,328 --> 00:29:27,678
"throw yourself down
from here.
498
00:29:27,722 --> 00:29:30,769
For it is written,
'He will command his angels,
499
00:29:30,812 --> 00:29:33,597
concerning you,
to guard you carefully.
500
00:29:33,641 --> 00:29:35,948
They will lift you up
in their hands,
501
00:29:35,991 --> 00:29:38,820
so that you will not strike
your foot against a stone.'"
502
00:29:42,868 --> 00:29:45,784
Jesus answered,
"It is said,
503
00:29:45,827 --> 00:29:50,527
'Do not put the Lord your God
to the test.'"
504
00:29:50,571 --> 00:29:53,792
When the devil had finished
all this tempting,
505
00:29:53,835 --> 00:29:56,925
he left him
until an opportune time.
506
00:30:06,282 --> 00:30:09,895
Jesus returned to Galilee
in the power of the Spirit,
507
00:30:09,938 --> 00:30:14,813
and news about him spread through the whole countryside.
508
00:30:14,856 --> 00:30:16,815
He was teaching
in their synagogues,
509
00:30:16,858 --> 00:30:19,078
and everyone praised him.
510
00:30:19,121 --> 00:30:22,864
He went to Nazareth,
where he had been brought up,
511
00:30:22,908 --> 00:30:24,605
and on the Sabbath day
512
00:30:24,648 --> 00:30:27,695
he went into the synagogue,
as was his custom.
513
00:30:27,738 --> 00:30:29,392
He stood up to read,
514
00:30:29,436 --> 00:30:31,003
and the scroll
of the prophet Isaiah
515
00:30:31,046 --> 00:30:34,006
was handed to him.
516
00:30:34,049 --> 00:30:36,486
Unrolling it,
he found the place
517
00:30:36,530 --> 00:30:39,054
where it is written,
518
00:30:39,098 --> 00:30:42,318
"The Spirit
of the Lord is on me,
519
00:30:42,362 --> 00:30:45,365
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news
520
00:30:45,408 --> 00:30:46,757
to the poor.
521
00:30:46,801 --> 00:30:48,803
He has sent me
to proclaim freedom
522
00:30:48,847 --> 00:30:50,283
for the prisoners
523
00:30:50,326 --> 00:30:54,113
and recovery of sight
for the blind,
524
00:30:54,156 --> 00:30:56,942
to set the oppressed free,
525
00:30:56,985 --> 00:31:00,162
to proclaim the year
of the Lord's favor."
526
00:31:03,774 --> 00:31:06,125
Then he rolled up
the scroll,
527
00:31:06,168 --> 00:31:07,909
gave it back
to the attendant
528
00:31:07,953 --> 00:31:09,737
and sat down.
529
00:31:12,696 --> 00:31:14,698
The eyes of everyone
in the synagogue
530
00:31:14,742 --> 00:31:16,875
were fastened on him.
531
00:31:16,918 --> 00:31:20,226
He began by saying
to them,
532
00:31:20,269 --> 00:31:23,142
"Today this scripture
is fulfilled
533
00:31:23,185 --> 00:31:26,493
in your hearing."
534
00:31:26,536 --> 00:31:29,191
All spoke well of him
and were amazed
535
00:31:29,235 --> 00:31:32,934
at the gracious words
that came from his lips.
536
00:31:32,978 --> 00:31:36,633
"Isn't this Joseph's son?",
they asked.
537
00:31:36,677 --> 00:31:39,810
Jesus said to them,
"Surely you will quote
538
00:31:39,854 --> 00:31:43,553
this proverb to me,
'Physician, heal yourself!'
539
00:31:43,597 --> 00:31:46,948
And you will tell me,
'Do here in your hometown
540
00:31:46,992 --> 00:31:50,430
what we have heard
that you did in Capernaum.'
541
00:31:50,473 --> 00:31:53,259
Truly I tell you,"
he continued,
542
00:31:53,302 --> 00:31:56,915
"no prophet is accepted
in his hometown.
543
00:31:56,958 --> 00:31:59,613
I assure you that there
were many widows in Israel
544
00:31:59,656 --> 00:32:02,442
in Elijah's time,
when the sky was shut
545
00:32:02,485 --> 00:32:04,400
for three and a half years
546
00:32:04,444 --> 00:32:07,012
and there was a severe famine
throughout the land.
547
00:32:07,055 --> 00:32:09,666
Yet Elijah was not sent
to any of them,
548
00:32:09,710 --> 00:32:13,975
but to a widow in Zarephath
in the region of Sidon.
549
00:32:14,019 --> 00:32:16,630
And there were many
in Israel with leprosy
550
00:32:16,673 --> 00:32:18,284
in the time of Elisha
the prophet,
551
00:32:18,327 --> 00:32:20,503
yet not one of them
was cleansed--
552
00:32:20,547 --> 00:32:24,029
only Naaman the Syrian."
553
00:32:24,072 --> 00:32:25,987
All the people
in the synagogue
554
00:32:26,031 --> 00:32:27,902
were furious
when they heard this.
555
00:32:27,946 --> 00:32:31,601
They got up,
drove him out of the town,
556
00:32:31,645 --> 00:32:33,516
and took him to the brow
of the hill
557
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,780
on which the town
was built
558
00:32:36,824 --> 00:32:39,261
in order to throw him
off the cliff.
559
00:32:48,357 --> 00:32:50,794
But he walked
right through the crowd
560
00:32:50,838 --> 00:32:52,971
and went on his way.
561
00:33:01,283 --> 00:33:03,198
Then he went down
to Capernaum,
562
00:33:03,242 --> 00:33:04,895
a town in Galilee,
563
00:33:04,939 --> 00:33:07,594
and on the Sabbath
he taught the people.
564
00:33:09,900 --> 00:33:11,728
They were amazed
at his teaching,
565
00:33:11,772 --> 00:33:14,905
because his words
had authority.
566
00:33:14,949 --> 00:33:16,559
In the synagogue
there was a man
567
00:33:16,603 --> 00:33:19,649
possessed by a demon,
an impure spirit.
568
00:33:19,693 --> 00:33:22,609
He cried out
at the top of his voice,
"Go away!
569
00:33:22,652 --> 00:33:25,829
What do you want with us,
Jesus of Nazareth?
570
00:33:25,873 --> 00:33:27,701
Have you come
to destroy us?
571
00:33:27,744 --> 00:33:31,661
I know who you are--
the Holy One of God!"
572
00:33:31,705 --> 00:33:35,883
"Be quiet!"
Jesus said sternly.
573
00:33:35,926 --> 00:33:37,406
"Come out of him!"
574
00:33:37,450 --> 00:33:39,234
[ man squealing ]
575
00:33:39,278 --> 00:33:42,672
Then the demon threw
the man down before them all
576
00:33:42,716 --> 00:33:44,892
and came out
without injuring him.
577
00:33:47,416 --> 00:33:51,507
All the people were amazed
and said to each other,
578
00:33:51,551 --> 00:33:54,206
"What words these are!
579
00:33:54,249 --> 00:33:58,036
With authority and power
he gives orders
580
00:33:58,079 --> 00:34:01,778
to impure spirits
and they come out!"
581
00:34:01,822 --> 00:34:03,737
And the news about him
spread throughout
582
00:34:03,780 --> 00:34:05,608
the surrounding area.
583
00:34:08,350 --> 00:34:10,265
Jesus left the synagogue
584
00:34:10,309 --> 00:34:13,225
and went to the home
of Simon.
585
00:34:13,268 --> 00:34:15,314
Now Simon's mother-in-law
was suffering
586
00:34:15,357 --> 00:34:16,793
from a high fever,
587
00:34:16,837 --> 00:34:19,361
and they asked Jesus
to help her.
588
00:34:23,235 --> 00:34:27,369
So he bent over her
and rebuked the fever...
589
00:34:29,937 --> 00:34:33,288
and it left her.
590
00:34:33,332 --> 00:34:36,900
She got up at once
and began to wait on them.
591
00:34:45,518 --> 00:34:48,738
At sunset, the people
brought to Jesus
592
00:34:48,782 --> 00:34:51,915
all who had various
kinds of sickness,
593
00:34:51,959 --> 00:34:55,615
and laying his hands
on each one, he healed them.
594
00:34:57,704 --> 00:35:01,360
Moreover, demons came out
of many people, shouting,
595
00:35:01,403 --> 00:35:03,492
"You are the Son of God!"
596
00:35:03,536 --> 00:35:06,930
But he rebuked them
and would not allow them
to speak,
597
00:35:06,974 --> 00:35:09,933
because they knew
he was the Messiah.
598
00:35:15,504 --> 00:35:19,029
At daybreak, Jesus went out
to a solitary place.
599
00:35:20,814 --> 00:35:22,468
The people
were looking for him
600
00:35:22,511 --> 00:35:24,948
and when they came
to where he was,
601
00:35:24,992 --> 00:35:26,776
they tried to keep him
from leaving them.
602
00:35:26,820 --> 00:35:28,909
[ speaking in Aramaic ]
603
00:35:33,043 --> 00:35:35,829
But he said, "I must
proclaim the good news
604
00:35:35,872 --> 00:35:40,007
of the kingdom of God
to the other towns also,
605
00:35:40,050 --> 00:35:43,445
because that is why
I was sent."
606
00:35:43,489 --> 00:35:46,796
And he kept on preaching
in the synagogues of Judea.
607
00:35:50,539 --> 00:35:54,369
One day as Jesus was standing
by the Lake of Gennesaret,
608
00:35:54,413 --> 00:35:56,241
the people
were crowding around him
609
00:35:56,284 --> 00:35:58,721
and listening
to the word of God.
610
00:35:58,765 --> 00:36:00,419
He saw
at the water's edge
611
00:36:00,462 --> 00:36:02,725
two boats, left there
by the fishermen
612
00:36:02,769 --> 00:36:04,379
who were washing
their nets.
613
00:36:04,423 --> 00:36:05,989
He got into
one of the boats,
614
00:36:06,033 --> 00:36:07,948
the one belonging to Simon,
615
00:36:07,991 --> 00:36:10,429
and asked him to put
out a little from shore.
616
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:18,306
Then he sat down and taught
the people from the boat.
617
00:36:20,265 --> 00:36:21,918
When he had
finished speaking,
618
00:36:21,962 --> 00:36:24,312
he said to Simon,
619
00:36:24,356 --> 00:36:25,966
"Put out into deep water,
620
00:36:26,009 --> 00:36:29,230
and let down the nets
for a catch."
621
00:36:29,274 --> 00:36:33,800
Simon answered, "Master,
we've worked hard all night
622
00:36:33,843 --> 00:36:36,237
and haven't caught anything.
623
00:36:36,281 --> 00:36:41,721
But because you say so,
I will let down the nets."
624
00:36:41,764 --> 00:36:43,288
When they had done so,
625
00:36:43,331 --> 00:36:46,160
they caught such
a large number of fish
626
00:36:46,204 --> 00:36:48,641
that their nets
began to break.
627
00:36:48,684 --> 00:36:50,164
So they signaled
their partners
628
00:36:50,208 --> 00:36:52,471
in the other boat
to come and help them,
629
00:36:52,514 --> 00:36:55,778
and they came and filled
both boats so full
630
00:36:55,822 --> 00:36:58,303
that they began to sink.
631
00:36:58,346 --> 00:37:00,522
When Simon Peter saw this,
632
00:37:00,566 --> 00:37:03,482
he fell at Jesus' knees
and said,
633
00:37:03,525 --> 00:37:07,268
"Go away from me, Lord,
I am a sinful man!"
634
00:37:09,531 --> 00:37:12,317
For he and all his companions
were astonished
635
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:14,754
at the catch of fish
they had taken,
636
00:37:14,797 --> 00:37:18,061
and so were James and John,
the sons of Zebedee,
637
00:37:18,105 --> 00:37:20,629
Simon's partners.
638
00:37:20,673 --> 00:37:25,286
Then Jesus said to Simon,
"Don't be afraid.
639
00:37:25,330 --> 00:37:29,551
From now on you will
fish for people."
640
00:37:29,595 --> 00:37:32,075
So they pulled
their boats up on shore,
641
00:37:32,119 --> 00:37:34,513
left everything,
and followed him.
642
00:37:45,785 --> 00:37:48,178
While Jesus was in
one of the towns,
643
00:37:48,222 --> 00:37:51,791
a man came along who was
covered with leprosy.
644
00:37:51,834 --> 00:37:55,098
When he saw Jesus, he fell
with his face to the ground
645
00:37:55,142 --> 00:37:58,319
and begged him,
"Lord, if you are willing,
646
00:37:58,363 --> 00:38:00,930
you can make me clean."
647
00:38:00,974 --> 00:38:05,065
Jesus reached out his hand
and touched the man.
648
00:38:05,108 --> 00:38:08,286
"I am willing," he said.
649
00:38:08,329 --> 00:38:11,114
"Be clean!"
650
00:38:11,158 --> 00:38:14,422
And immediately
the leprosy left him.
651
00:38:22,256 --> 00:38:26,173
Then Jesus ordered him,
"Don't tell anyone, but go,
652
00:38:26,216 --> 00:38:29,350
show yourself to the priest
and offer the sacrifices
653
00:38:29,394 --> 00:38:31,744
that Moses commanded
for your cleansing
654
00:38:31,787 --> 00:38:33,789
as a testimony to them."
655
00:38:42,407 --> 00:38:45,192
Yet the news about him
spread all the more,
656
00:38:45,235 --> 00:38:47,412
so that crowds of people
came to hear him
657
00:38:47,455 --> 00:38:49,892
and to be healed
of their sicknesses.
658
00:38:54,941 --> 00:38:59,511
But Jesus often withdrew
to lonely places and prayed.
659
00:39:02,122 --> 00:39:05,604
One day Jesus was teaching
and Pharisees
660
00:39:05,647 --> 00:39:10,043
and teachers of the law
were sitting there.
661
00:39:10,086 --> 00:39:11,697
They had come
from every village
662
00:39:11,740 --> 00:39:14,874
of Galilee and from Judea
and Jerusalem.
663
00:39:16,919 --> 00:39:19,531
And the power of the Lord
was with Jesus
664
00:39:19,574 --> 00:39:21,881
to heal the sick.
665
00:39:21,924 --> 00:39:26,146
Some men came carrying
a paralyzed man on a mat
666
00:39:26,189 --> 00:39:28,061
and tried to take him
into the house
667
00:39:28,104 --> 00:39:30,368
to lay him before Jesus.
668
00:39:33,414 --> 00:39:35,416
When they could not find
a way to do this
669
00:39:35,460 --> 00:39:37,679
because of the crowd...
670
00:39:43,424 --> 00:39:46,166
they went up on the roof...
671
00:39:48,037 --> 00:39:49,735
and lowered him on his mat...
672
00:39:53,086 --> 00:39:54,522
through the tiles...
673
00:39:58,308 --> 00:40:01,094
into the middle
of the crowd...
674
00:40:03,575 --> 00:40:07,230
right in front of Jesus.
675
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:24,160
When Jesus saw
their faith, he said,
676
00:40:24,204 --> 00:40:29,470
"Friend, your sins
are forgiven."
677
00:40:29,514 --> 00:40:31,820
The Pharisees
and the teachers of the law
678
00:40:31,864 --> 00:40:34,475
began thinking
to themselves,
679
00:40:34,519 --> 00:40:37,870
"Who is this fellow
who speaks blasphemy?
680
00:40:37,913 --> 00:40:40,829
Who can forgive sins
but God alone?"
681
00:40:43,266 --> 00:40:46,574
Jesus knew what they
were thinking and asked,
682
00:40:46,618 --> 00:40:50,012
"Why are you thinking
these things in your hearts?
683
00:40:53,015 --> 00:40:56,889
Which is easier-- to say,
'Your sins are forgiven,'
684
00:40:56,932 --> 00:41:02,068
or to say,
'Get up and walk'?
685
00:41:02,111 --> 00:41:04,940
But I want you to know
that the Son of Man
686
00:41:04,984 --> 00:41:08,204
has authority on Earth
to forgive sins."
687
00:41:08,248 --> 00:41:11,207
So he said
to the paralyzed man,
688
00:41:11,251 --> 00:41:16,474
"I tell you, get up,
take your mat and go home."
689
00:41:34,883 --> 00:41:37,886
Immediately he stood up
in front of them,
690
00:41:37,930 --> 00:41:39,714
took what he had
been lying on,
691
00:41:39,758 --> 00:41:42,064
and went home
praising God.
692
00:41:43,979 --> 00:41:47,330
Everyone was amazed
and gave praise to God.
693
00:41:47,374 --> 00:41:49,768
They were filled with awe
and said,
694
00:41:49,811 --> 00:41:52,597
"We have seen
remarkable things today."
695
00:41:55,034 --> 00:41:57,645
[ chattering ]
696
00:42:08,438 --> 00:42:11,964
After this, Jesus went out
and saw a tax collector
697
00:42:12,007 --> 00:42:14,662
by the name of Levi
sitting at his tax booth.
698
00:42:27,022 --> 00:42:30,112
"Follow me,"
Jesus said to him,
699
00:42:35,770 --> 00:42:37,729
and Levi got up,
700
00:42:37,772 --> 00:42:40,949
left everything,
and followed him.
701
00:42:44,170 --> 00:42:46,433
Then Levi held
a great banquet for Jesus
702
00:42:46,476 --> 00:42:48,435
at his house,
703
00:42:48,478 --> 00:42:51,003
and a large crowd
of tax collectors and others
704
00:42:51,046 --> 00:42:53,092
were eating with them.
705
00:42:53,135 --> 00:42:55,181
But the Pharisees
and the teachers of the law
706
00:42:55,224 --> 00:42:56,791
who belonged
to their sect
707
00:42:56,835 --> 00:43:00,316
complained
to his disciples,
708
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:04,146
"Why do you eat and drink
with tax collectors
and sinners?"
709
00:43:04,190 --> 00:43:06,627
Jesus answered them,
710
00:43:06,671 --> 00:43:08,803
"It is not the healthy
who need a doctor,
711
00:43:08,847 --> 00:43:10,544
but the sick.
712
00:43:10,588 --> 00:43:12,677
I have not come
to call the righteous,
713
00:43:12,720 --> 00:43:15,636
but sinners
to repentance."
714
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:17,333
They said to him,
715
00:43:17,377 --> 00:43:20,728
"John's disciples
often fast and pray,
716
00:43:20,772 --> 00:43:23,035
and so do the disciples
of the Pharisees,
717
00:43:23,078 --> 00:43:25,472
but yours go on eating
and drinking."
718
00:43:25,515 --> 00:43:27,735
Jesus answered,
"Can you make the friends
719
00:43:27,779 --> 00:43:31,217
of the bridegroom fast
while he is with them?
720
00:43:31,260 --> 00:43:33,436
But the time will come
when the bridegroom
721
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:39,138
will be taken from them, in those days they will fast."
722
00:43:39,181 --> 00:43:41,096
He told them this parable,
723
00:43:41,140 --> 00:43:44,230
"No one tears a piece
out of a new garment
724
00:43:44,273 --> 00:43:46,058
to patch an old one.
725
00:43:46,101 --> 00:43:48,843
Otherwise, they will have
torn the new garment,
726
00:43:48,887 --> 00:43:52,673
and the patch from the new
will not match the old.
727
00:43:52,717 --> 00:43:56,024
And no one pours new wine
into old wineskins.
728
00:43:56,068 --> 00:43:59,419
Otherwise, the new wine
will burst the skins,
729
00:43:59,462 --> 00:44:01,160
the wine will run out,
and the wineskins
730
00:44:01,203 --> 00:44:02,901
will be ruined.
731
00:44:02,944 --> 00:44:06,861
No, new wine must be poured
into new wineskins.
732
00:44:06,905 --> 00:44:10,735
And no one after drinking
old wine wants the new,
733
00:44:10,778 --> 00:44:13,259
for they say,
'The old is better.'"
734
00:44:29,014 --> 00:44:32,974
One Sabbath Jesus was going
through the grain fields,
735
00:44:33,018 --> 00:44:35,934
and his disciples began
to pick some heads of grain,
736
00:44:35,977 --> 00:44:40,242
rub them in their hands
and eat the kernels.
737
00:44:40,286 --> 00:44:42,810
Some of the Pharisees asked,
"Why are you doing
738
00:44:42,854 --> 00:44:44,594
what is unlawful
on the Sabbath?"
739
00:44:44,638 --> 00:44:47,685
Jesus answered them,
"Have you never read
740
00:44:47,728 --> 00:44:50,862
what David did when he
and his companions
were hungry?
741
00:44:50,905 --> 00:44:52,602
He entered
the house of God,
742
00:44:52,646 --> 00:44:55,301
and taking
the consecrated bread,
743
00:44:55,344 --> 00:44:59,653
he ate what is lawful
only for priests to eat.
744
00:44:59,697 --> 00:45:02,917
And he also gave some
to his companions."
745
00:45:02,961 --> 00:45:04,745
Then Jesus said to them,
746
00:45:04,789 --> 00:45:08,183
"The Son of Man is Lord
of the Sabbath."
747
00:45:15,930 --> 00:45:17,584
On another Sabbath
748
00:45:17,627 --> 00:45:20,282
he went into the synagogue
and was teaching,
749
00:45:20,326 --> 00:45:22,110
and a man was there
whose right hand
750
00:45:22,154 --> 00:45:24,809
was shriveled.
751
00:45:24,852 --> 00:45:27,072
The Pharisees
and the teachers of the law
752
00:45:27,115 --> 00:45:30,728
were looking for a reason
to accuse Jesus,
753
00:45:30,771 --> 00:45:33,687
so they watched him closely
to see if he would heal
754
00:45:33,731 --> 00:45:35,863
on the Sabbath.
755
00:45:35,907 --> 00:45:37,865
But Jesus knew
what they were thinking
756
00:45:37,909 --> 00:45:40,433
and said to the man
with the shriveled hand,
757
00:45:40,476 --> 00:45:43,697
"Get up and stand
in front of everyone."
758
00:45:43,741 --> 00:45:47,309
So he got up
and stood there.
759
00:45:47,353 --> 00:45:49,311
Then Jesus said to them,
760
00:45:49,355 --> 00:45:54,316
"I ask you, which is lawful
on the Sabbath--
761
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:58,016
to do good
or to do evil,
762
00:45:58,059 --> 00:46:01,802
to save life
or to destroy it?"
763
00:46:01,846 --> 00:46:03,761
He looked around
at them all,
764
00:46:03,804 --> 00:46:07,286
and then said to the man,
"Stretch out your hand."
765
00:46:11,420 --> 00:46:16,469
He did so, and his hand
was completely restored.
766
00:46:16,512 --> 00:46:18,297
But the Pharisees
and the teachers of the law
767
00:46:18,340 --> 00:46:21,866
were furious and began
to discuss with one another
768
00:46:21,909 --> 00:46:23,868
what they might do
to Jesus.
769
00:46:30,875 --> 00:46:32,441
One of those days
770
00:46:32,485 --> 00:46:35,314
Jesus went out
to a mountainside to pray,
771
00:46:35,357 --> 00:46:38,708
and spent the night
praying to God.
772
00:46:38,752 --> 00:46:42,321
When morning came, he called
his disciples to him
773
00:46:42,364 --> 00:46:43,844
and chose twelve of them,
774
00:46:43,888 --> 00:46:47,892
whom he also designated
apostles.
775
00:46:47,935 --> 00:46:52,026
Simon, whom he named Peter,
776
00:46:52,070 --> 00:46:54,724
his brother Andrew,
777
00:46:54,768 --> 00:46:56,552
James,
778
00:46:56,596 --> 00:46:58,293
John,
779
00:46:58,337 --> 00:46:59,686
Philip,
780
00:46:59,729 --> 00:47:01,644
Bartholomew,
781
00:47:01,688 --> 00:47:03,342
Matthew,
782
00:47:03,385 --> 00:47:05,213
Thomas,
783
00:47:05,257 --> 00:47:07,868
James son of Alphaeus,
784
00:47:07,912 --> 00:47:10,436
Simon who was called
the Zealot,
785
00:47:10,479 --> 00:47:13,221
Judas son of James,
786
00:47:13,265 --> 00:47:16,529
and Judas Iscariot,
who became a traitor.
787
00:47:17,747 --> 00:47:19,837
[ speaking in Aramaic ]
788
00:47:23,231 --> 00:47:26,800
He went down with them
and stood on a level place.
789
00:47:26,844 --> 00:47:29,194
A large crowd
of his disciples was there
790
00:47:29,237 --> 00:47:31,849
and a great number of people
from all over Judea,
791
00:47:31,892 --> 00:47:33,981
from Jerusalem,
and from the coastal region
792
00:47:34,025 --> 00:47:36,897
around Tyre and Sidon,
who had come to hear him
793
00:47:36,941 --> 00:47:39,813
and to be healed
of their diseases.
794
00:47:39,857 --> 00:47:42,772
Those troubled by impure
spirits were cured,
795
00:47:42,816 --> 00:47:44,949
and the people all tried
to touch him,
796
00:47:44,992 --> 00:47:46,820
because power
was coming from him
797
00:47:46,864 --> 00:47:49,344
and healing them all.
798
00:47:49,388 --> 00:47:50,911
Looking at his disciples,
799
00:47:50,955 --> 00:47:54,872
he said, "Blessed are you
who are poor,
800
00:47:54,915 --> 00:47:58,005
for yours
is the kingdom of God.
801
00:47:58,049 --> 00:48:00,573
Blessed are you
who hunger now,
802
00:48:00,616 --> 00:48:03,097
for you will be satisfied.
803
00:48:03,141 --> 00:48:05,317
Blessed are you
who weep now,
804
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:07,058
for you will laugh.
805
00:48:07,101 --> 00:48:09,843
Blessed are you
when people hate you,
806
00:48:09,887 --> 00:48:12,150
when they exclude you
and insult you
807
00:48:12,193 --> 00:48:14,369
and reject your name
as evil,
808
00:48:14,413 --> 00:48:17,155
because of the Son of Man.
809
00:48:17,198 --> 00:48:20,375
Rejoice in that day
and leap for joy,
810
00:48:20,419 --> 00:48:23,944
because great
is your reward in heaven.
811
00:48:23,988 --> 00:48:25,946
For that is how
their ancestors
812
00:48:25,990 --> 00:48:28,427
treated the prophets.
813
00:48:28,470 --> 00:48:30,646
But woe to you
who are rich,
814
00:48:30,690 --> 00:48:33,606
for you have already
received your comfort.
815
00:48:33,649 --> 00:48:36,391
Woe to you
who are well fed now,
816
00:48:36,435 --> 00:48:38,132
for you will go hungry.
817
00:48:38,176 --> 00:48:40,395
Woe to you who laugh now,
818
00:48:40,439 --> 00:48:43,050
for you
will mourn and weep.
819
00:48:43,094 --> 00:48:46,445
Woe to you when everyone
speaks well of you,
820
00:48:46,488 --> 00:48:48,360
for that is how
their ancestors
821
00:48:48,403 --> 00:48:50,579
treated the false prophets.
822
00:48:54,844 --> 00:48:58,370
But to you who
are listening I say,
823
00:48:58,413 --> 00:49:00,894
love your enemies,
824
00:49:00,938 --> 00:49:04,028
do good to those
who hate you,
825
00:49:04,071 --> 00:49:06,204
bless those who curse you,
826
00:49:06,247 --> 00:49:09,207
pray for those
who mistreat you.
827
00:49:09,250 --> 00:49:12,036
If someone slaps you
on one cheek,
828
00:49:12,079 --> 00:49:14,516
turn to them
the other also.
829
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,997
If someone takes your coat,
830
00:49:17,041 --> 00:49:20,174
do not withhold
your shirt from them.
831
00:49:20,218 --> 00:49:23,482
Give to everyone
who asks you,
832
00:49:23,525 --> 00:49:26,050
and if anyone takes
what belongs to you,
833
00:49:26,093 --> 00:49:30,402
do not demand it back.
834
00:49:30,445 --> 00:49:33,971
Do to others as you
would have them do to you.
835
00:49:36,930 --> 00:49:39,672
If you love those
who love you,
836
00:49:39,715 --> 00:49:42,109
what credit is that to you?
837
00:49:42,153 --> 00:49:45,678
Even sinners love those
who love them.
838
00:49:45,721 --> 00:49:48,550
And if you do good
to those who are good to you,
839
00:49:48,594 --> 00:49:51,336
what credit is that to you?
840
00:49:51,379 --> 00:49:54,817
Even sinners do that.
841
00:49:54,861 --> 00:49:56,297
And if you lend to those
842
00:49:56,341 --> 00:49:59,822
from whom
you expect repayment,
843
00:49:59,866 --> 00:50:03,565
what credit
is that to you?
844
00:50:03,609 --> 00:50:06,046
Even sinners
lend to sinners,
845
00:50:06,090 --> 00:50:09,745
expecting
to be repaid in full.
846
00:50:09,789 --> 00:50:12,226
But love your enemies,
847
00:50:12,270 --> 00:50:14,011
do good to them,
and lend to them
848
00:50:14,054 --> 00:50:17,231
without expecting
to get anything back.
849
00:50:17,275 --> 00:50:20,060
Then your reward
will be great,
850
00:50:20,104 --> 00:50:23,281
and you will be children
of the Most High,
851
00:50:23,324 --> 00:50:28,416
because he is kind
to the ungrateful and wicked.
852
00:50:28,460 --> 00:50:29,896
Be merciful,
853
00:50:29,939 --> 00:50:32,855
just as your Father
is merciful.
854
00:50:32,899 --> 00:50:34,814
Do not judge,
855
00:50:34,857 --> 00:50:38,078
and you will
not be judged.
856
00:50:38,122 --> 00:50:41,429
Do not condemn,
857
00:50:41,473 --> 00:50:44,171
and you will
not be condemned.
858
00:50:44,215 --> 00:50:47,348
Forgive,
859
00:50:47,392 --> 00:50:51,091
and you will be
forgiven.
860
00:50:51,135 --> 00:50:52,353
Give,
861
00:50:52,397 --> 00:50:54,747
and it will be
given to you.
862
00:50:54,790 --> 00:50:58,142
A good measure,
pressed down,
863
00:50:58,185 --> 00:51:00,666
shaken together
and running over,
864
00:51:00,709 --> 00:51:04,235
will be poured
into your lap.
865
00:51:04,278 --> 00:51:06,889
For with the measure
you use,
866
00:51:06,933 --> 00:51:10,458
it will be measured to you."
867
00:51:10,502 --> 00:51:13,200
He also told them
this parable,
868
00:51:13,244 --> 00:51:15,855
"Can the blind
lead the blind?
869
00:51:15,898 --> 00:51:19,076
Will they not both fall
into a pit?
870
00:51:19,119 --> 00:51:21,382
The student is not
above the teacher,
871
00:51:21,426 --> 00:51:23,950
but everyone
who is fully trained
872
00:51:23,993 --> 00:51:26,083
will be like
their teacher.
873
00:51:28,302 --> 00:51:30,087
Why do you look
at the speck of sawdust
874
00:51:30,130 --> 00:51:32,437
in your brother's eye
875
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,179
and pay no attention
to the plank in your own eye?
876
00:51:36,658 --> 00:51:38,747
How can you say
to your brother,
877
00:51:38,791 --> 00:51:41,707
'Brother, let me take
the speck out of your eye,'
878
00:51:41,750 --> 00:51:43,665
when you yourself
fail to see the plank
879
00:51:43,709 --> 00:51:45,624
in your own eye?
880
00:51:48,757 --> 00:51:52,283
You hypocrite, first take
the plank out of your eye,
881
00:51:52,326 --> 00:51:55,242
and then you will see clearly
to remove the speck
882
00:51:55,286 --> 00:51:57,070
from your brother's eye.
883
00:52:00,465 --> 00:52:03,511
No good tree
bears bad fruit,
884
00:52:03,555 --> 00:52:06,688
nor does a bad tree
bear good fruit.
885
00:52:06,732 --> 00:52:10,257
Each tree is recognized
by its own fruit.
886
00:52:10,301 --> 00:52:12,955
People do not pick figs
from thorn bushes,
887
00:52:12,999 --> 00:52:15,175
or grapes from briers.
888
00:52:15,219 --> 00:52:17,003
A good man brings
good things
889
00:52:17,046 --> 00:52:19,919
out of the good
stored up in his heart,
890
00:52:19,962 --> 00:52:22,095
and an evil man
brings evil things
891
00:52:22,139 --> 00:52:24,837
out of the evil
stored up in his heart.
892
00:52:27,187 --> 00:52:30,625
For the mouth speaks
what the heart is full of.
893
00:52:38,633 --> 00:52:42,159
Why do you call me,
'Lord, Lord,'
894
00:52:42,202 --> 00:52:46,163
and do not do
what I say?
895
00:52:46,206 --> 00:52:47,860
As for everyone
who comes to me
896
00:52:47,903 --> 00:52:51,690
and hears my words
and puts them into practice,
897
00:52:51,733 --> 00:52:54,171
I will show you
what they are like.
898
00:52:58,262 --> 00:53:00,351
They are like a man
building a house,
899
00:53:00,394 --> 00:53:05,051
who dug down deep and laid
the foundation on rock.
900
00:53:05,094 --> 00:53:08,141
When a flood came,
the torrent struck that house
901
00:53:08,185 --> 00:53:12,580
but could not shake it,
because it was well built.
902
00:53:12,624 --> 00:53:14,539
But the one
who hears my words
903
00:53:14,582 --> 00:53:18,195
and does not
put them into practice
904
00:53:18,238 --> 00:53:20,588
is like a man who built
a house on the ground
905
00:53:20,632 --> 00:53:24,113
without a foundation.
906
00:53:24,157 --> 00:53:28,161
The moment the torrent
struck that house,
907
00:53:28,205 --> 00:53:29,989
it collapsed...
908
00:53:31,817 --> 00:53:35,037
and its destruction
was complete."
909
00:53:52,707 --> 00:53:54,622
When Jesus had finished
saying all this
910
00:53:54,666 --> 00:53:56,494
to the people
who were listening,
911
00:53:56,537 --> 00:53:58,322
he entered Capernaum.
912
00:53:58,365 --> 00:54:00,933
There a centurion's servant,
913
00:54:00,976 --> 00:54:02,978
whom his master
valued highly,
914
00:54:03,022 --> 00:54:05,416
was sick
and about to die.
915
00:54:07,505 --> 00:54:09,594
The centurion
heard of Jesus
916
00:54:09,637 --> 00:54:12,858
and sent some elders
of the Jews to him,
917
00:54:12,901 --> 00:54:16,165
asking him to come
and heal his servant.
918
00:54:16,209 --> 00:54:18,037
When they came to Jesus,
919
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:21,475
they pleaded
earnestly with him,
920
00:54:21,519 --> 00:54:24,217
"This man deserves
to have you do this,
921
00:54:24,261 --> 00:54:27,960
because he loves our nation
and has built our synagogue."
922
00:54:30,484 --> 00:54:33,574
So Jesus went with them.
923
00:54:33,618 --> 00:54:35,446
He was not far
from the house
924
00:54:35,489 --> 00:54:39,580
when the centurion
sent friends to say to him,
925
00:54:39,624 --> 00:54:43,541
"Lord,
don't trouble yourself,
926
00:54:43,584 --> 00:54:45,151
for I do not deserve
to have you
927
00:54:45,194 --> 00:54:47,501
come under my roof.
928
00:54:47,545 --> 00:54:50,330
That is why I did not
even consider myself worthy
929
00:54:50,374 --> 00:54:51,940
to come to you.
930
00:54:51,984 --> 00:54:54,421
But say the word,
and my servant
931
00:54:54,465 --> 00:54:56,728
will be healed.
932
00:54:56,771 --> 00:55:00,732
For I myself
am a man under authority,
933
00:55:00,775 --> 00:55:03,474
with soldiers under me.
934
00:55:03,517 --> 00:55:08,740
I tell this one,
'Go,' and he goes,
935
00:55:08,783 --> 00:55:12,657
and that one,
'Come,' and he comes.
936
00:55:12,700 --> 00:55:16,225
I say to my servant,
'Do this,' and he does it."
937
00:55:20,795 --> 00:55:25,234
When Jesus heard this,
he was amazed at him,
938
00:55:25,278 --> 00:55:27,106
and turning to the crowd
following him,
939
00:55:27,149 --> 00:55:31,066
he said, "I tell you,
I have not found
940
00:55:31,110 --> 00:55:35,375
such great faith
even in Israel."
941
00:55:35,419 --> 00:55:37,246
Then the men who
had been sent
942
00:55:37,290 --> 00:55:40,337
returned to the house
and found the servant well.
943
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:57,702
Soon afterward, Jesus went
to a town called Nain,
944
00:55:57,745 --> 00:55:59,573
and his disciples
and a large crowd
945
00:55:59,617 --> 00:56:01,706
went along with him.
946
00:56:01,749 --> 00:56:03,708
As he approached
the town gate,
947
00:56:03,751 --> 00:56:06,624
a dead person
was being carried out--
948
00:56:06,667 --> 00:56:10,062
the only son of his mother,
and she was a widow.
949
00:56:10,105 --> 00:56:13,282
And a large crowd
from the town was with her.
950
00:56:13,326 --> 00:56:16,198
When the Lord saw her,
his heart went out to her
951
00:56:16,242 --> 00:56:18,549
and he said,
"Don't cry."
952
00:56:21,203 --> 00:56:23,728
Then he went up
and touched the bier
953
00:56:23,771 --> 00:56:27,949
they were carrying him on,
and the bearers stood still.
954
00:56:27,993 --> 00:56:32,214
He said, "Young man,
I say to you, get up!"
955
00:56:38,786 --> 00:56:41,659
The dead man sat up
and began to talk,
956
00:56:41,702 --> 00:56:44,575
and Jesus gave him back
to his mother.
957
00:56:44,618 --> 00:56:46,403
They were all
filled with awe
958
00:56:46,446 --> 00:56:48,448
and praised God.
959
00:56:48,492 --> 00:56:51,625
"A great prophet
has appeared among us,"
they said.
960
00:56:51,669 --> 00:56:53,932
"God has come
to help his people."
961
00:56:53,975 --> 00:56:57,152
This news about Jesus
spread throughout Judea
962
00:56:57,196 --> 00:56:58,850
and the surrounding country.
963
00:57:00,765 --> 00:57:04,464
John's disciples told him
about all these things.
964
00:57:04,508 --> 00:57:06,945
Calling two of them,
he sent them to the Lord
965
00:57:06,988 --> 00:57:10,557
to ask, "Are you the one
who is to come,
966
00:57:10,601 --> 00:57:13,168
or should we expect
someone else?"
967
00:57:13,212 --> 00:57:15,867
When the men came
to Jesus, they said,
968
00:57:15,910 --> 00:57:18,783
"John the Baptist
sent us to you to ask,
969
00:57:18,826 --> 00:57:20,349
'Are you the one
who is to come,
970
00:57:20,393 --> 00:57:24,049
or should we expect
someone else?'"
971
00:57:24,092 --> 00:57:28,488
At that very time Jesus
cured many who had diseases,
972
00:57:28,532 --> 00:57:30,447
sicknesses
and evil spirits,
973
00:57:30,490 --> 00:57:34,015
and gave sight to many
who were blind.
974
00:57:34,059 --> 00:57:36,670
So he replied
to the messengers,
975
00:57:36,714 --> 00:57:38,672
"Go back
and report to John
976
00:57:38,716 --> 00:57:42,241
what you have
seen and heard,
977
00:57:42,284 --> 00:57:46,332
the blind receive sight,
the lame walk,
978
00:57:46,375 --> 00:57:48,900
those who have leprosy
are cleansed,
979
00:57:48,943 --> 00:57:52,425
the deaf hear,
the dead are raised,
980
00:57:52,469 --> 00:57:55,472
and the good news
is proclaimed to the poor.
981
00:57:58,039 --> 00:58:01,434
Blessed is anyone
who does not stumble
982
00:58:01,478 --> 00:58:02,827
on account of me."
983
00:58:04,785 --> 00:58:07,005
After John's
messengers left,
984
00:58:07,048 --> 00:58:10,704
Jesus began to speak
to the crowd about John,
985
00:58:10,748 --> 00:58:14,491
"What did you go out
into the wilderness to see?
986
00:58:14,534 --> 00:58:17,537
A reed swayed by the wind?
987
00:58:17,581 --> 00:58:21,802
If not, what did you
go out to see?
988
00:58:21,846 --> 00:58:25,110
A man dressed
in fine clothes?
989
00:58:25,153 --> 00:58:28,635
No, those who wear
expensive clothes
990
00:58:28,679 --> 00:58:32,900
and indulge in luxury
are in palaces.
991
00:58:32,944 --> 00:58:35,381
But what did you go
out to see?
992
00:58:35,424 --> 00:58:37,383
A prophet?
993
00:58:37,426 --> 00:58:39,559
Yes,
994
00:58:39,603 --> 00:58:43,041
I tell you,
and more than a prophet.
995
00:58:43,084 --> 00:58:46,348
This is the one
about whom it is written,
996
00:58:46,392 --> 00:58:48,960
'I will send
my messenger ahead of you,
997
00:58:49,003 --> 00:58:52,311
who will prepare
your way before you.'
998
00:58:52,354 --> 00:58:54,966
I tell you,
among those born of women
999
00:58:55,009 --> 00:58:59,274
there is no one
greater than John,
1000
00:58:59,318 --> 00:59:02,974
yet the one who is least
in the kingdom of God
1001
00:59:03,017 --> 00:59:04,497
is greater than he."
1002
00:59:07,021 --> 00:59:09,546
All the people,
even the tax collectors,
1003
00:59:09,589 --> 00:59:11,373
when they heard
Jesus' words,
1004
00:59:11,417 --> 00:59:13,985
acknowledged that God's
way was right,
1005
00:59:14,028 --> 00:59:16,422
because they had been
baptized by John.
1006
00:59:16,465 --> 00:59:19,773
But the Pharisees
and the experts in the law
1007
00:59:19,817 --> 00:59:22,863
rejected God's purpose
for themselves,
1008
00:59:22,907 --> 00:59:26,171
because they had not been
baptized by John.
1009
00:59:26,214 --> 00:59:28,477
Jesus went on to say,
1010
00:59:28,521 --> 00:59:29,957
"To what, then,
can I compare
1011
00:59:30,001 --> 00:59:31,785
the people
of this generation?
1012
00:59:31,829 --> 00:59:33,700
What are they like?
1013
00:59:33,744 --> 00:59:36,921
They are like children
sitting in the marketplace
1014
00:59:36,964 --> 00:59:38,923
and calling out
to each other,
1015
00:59:38,966 --> 00:59:40,577
'We played
the pipe for you,
1016
00:59:40,620 --> 00:59:42,448
and you did not dance,
1017
00:59:42,491 --> 00:59:45,277
we sang a dirge,
and you did not cry.'
1018
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:49,586
For John the Baptist
came neither eating bread
nor drinking wine,
1019
00:59:49,629 --> 00:59:52,980
and you say,
'He has a demon.'
1020
00:59:53,024 --> 00:59:55,548
The Son of Man
came eating and drinking,
1021
00:59:55,592 --> 00:59:58,420
and you say,
'Here is a glutton
and a drunkard,
1022
00:59:58,464 --> 01:00:02,163
a friend of tax collectors
and sinners.'
1023
01:00:02,207 --> 01:00:06,994
But wisdom is proved right
by all her children."
1024
01:00:18,615 --> 01:00:20,834
When one of the Pharisees
invited Jesus
1025
01:00:20,878 --> 01:00:22,270
to have dinner with him,
1026
01:00:22,314 --> 01:00:23,750
he went
to the Pharisee's house
1027
01:00:23,794 --> 01:00:25,578
and reclined at the table.
1028
01:00:28,450 --> 01:00:32,193
A woman in that town
who lived a sinful life
1029
01:00:32,237 --> 01:00:34,761
learned that Jesus was eating
at the Pharisee's house...
1030
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,117
[ speaking in Aramaic ]
1031
01:00:43,161 --> 01:00:46,425
so she came there
with an alabaster jar
of perfume.
1032
01:00:55,782 --> 01:00:59,090
As she stood behind him
at his feet weeping,
1033
01:00:59,133 --> 01:01:02,876
she began to wet his feet
with her tears.
1034
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,096
Then she wiped them
with her hair,
1035
01:01:05,139 --> 01:01:07,838
kissed them and poured
perfume on them.
1036
01:01:10,405 --> 01:01:12,843
When the Pharisee
who had invited him saw this,
1037
01:01:12,886 --> 01:01:16,585
he said to himself,
"If this man were a prophet,
1038
01:01:16,629 --> 01:01:18,544
he would know
who is touching him
1039
01:01:18,587 --> 01:01:20,285
and what kind
of woman she is--
1040
01:01:20,328 --> 01:01:22,983
that she is a sinner."
1041
01:01:23,027 --> 01:01:24,898
Jesus answered him,
1042
01:01:24,942 --> 01:01:27,640
"Simon, I have something
to tell you."
1043
01:01:27,684 --> 01:01:31,383
"Tell me, teacher," he said.
1044
01:01:31,426 --> 01:01:35,692
"Two people owed money
to a certain moneylender.
1045
01:01:35,735 --> 01:01:38,259
One owed him 500 denarii,
1046
01:01:38,303 --> 01:01:40,087
and the other 50.
1047
01:01:40,131 --> 01:01:41,523
Neither of them
had the money
1048
01:01:41,567 --> 01:01:42,960
to pay him back,
1049
01:01:43,003 --> 01:01:46,311
so he forgave
the debts of both.
1050
01:01:46,354 --> 01:01:49,618
Now which of them
will love him more?"
1051
01:01:49,662 --> 01:01:52,752
Simon replied,
"I suppose the one
1052
01:01:52,796 --> 01:01:55,494
who had the bigger
debt forgiven."
1053
01:01:55,537 --> 01:01:59,063
"You have judged correctly,"
Jesus said.
1054
01:01:59,106 --> 01:02:00,804
Then he turned
toward the woman
1055
01:02:00,847 --> 01:02:04,285
and said to Simon,
"Do you see this woman?
1056
01:02:04,329 --> 01:02:06,331
I came into your house.
1057
01:02:06,374 --> 01:02:09,029
You did not give me
any water for my feet,
1058
01:02:09,073 --> 01:02:11,989
but she wet my feet
with her tears
1059
01:02:12,032 --> 01:02:14,078
and wiped them
with her hair.
1060
01:02:16,036 --> 01:02:18,996
You did not
give me a kiss,
1061
01:02:19,039 --> 01:02:21,346
but this woman,
from the time I entered,
1062
01:02:21,389 --> 01:02:24,784
has not stopped
kissing my feet.
1063
01:02:24,828 --> 01:02:27,744
You did not
put oil on my head,
1064
01:02:27,787 --> 01:02:30,790
but she has poured
perfume on my feet.
1065
01:02:36,230 --> 01:02:39,146
Therefore, I tell you,
her many sins
1066
01:02:39,190 --> 01:02:42,323
have been forgiven--
1067
01:02:42,367 --> 01:02:46,545
as her great love
has shown.
1068
01:02:46,588 --> 01:02:49,069
But whoever has been
forgiven little
1069
01:02:49,113 --> 01:02:50,767
loves little."
1070
01:02:52,856 --> 01:02:57,251
Then Jesus said to her,
"Your sins are forgiven."
1071
01:03:00,515 --> 01:03:03,823
The other guests began
to say among themselves,
1072
01:03:03,867 --> 01:03:07,609
"Who is this
who even forgives sins?"
1073
01:03:07,653 --> 01:03:09,394
Jesus said to the woman,
1074
01:03:09,437 --> 01:03:14,268
"Your faith has saved you.
Go in peace."
1075
01:03:18,316 --> 01:03:20,535
After this,
Jesus traveled about
1076
01:03:20,579 --> 01:03:22,755
from one town and village
to another,
1077
01:03:22,799 --> 01:03:26,280
proclaiming the good news
of the kingdom of God.
1078
01:03:26,324 --> 01:03:27,934
The Twelve were with him,
1079
01:03:27,978 --> 01:03:30,154
and also some women
who had been cured
1080
01:03:30,197 --> 01:03:33,635
of evil spirits
and diseases,
1081
01:03:33,679 --> 01:03:38,118
Mary, called Magdalene,
from whom seven demons
had come out,
1082
01:03:38,162 --> 01:03:40,033
Joanna the wife of Chuza,
1083
01:03:40,077 --> 01:03:42,296
the manager of Herod's
household,
1084
01:03:42,340 --> 01:03:45,212
Susanna,
and many others.
1085
01:03:45,256 --> 01:03:47,388
These women were helping
to support them
1086
01:03:47,432 --> 01:03:49,216
out of their own means.
1087
01:03:52,524 --> 01:03:54,308
While a large crowd
was gathering
1088
01:03:54,352 --> 01:03:55,875
and people were coming
to Jesus
1089
01:03:55,919 --> 01:03:57,659
from town after town,
1090
01:03:57,703 --> 01:04:00,749
he told this parable,
1091
01:04:00,793 --> 01:04:03,100
"A farmer went out
to sow his seed.
1092
01:04:03,143 --> 01:04:04,928
As he was scattering
the seed,
1093
01:04:04,971 --> 01:04:07,931
some fell along the path,
1094
01:04:07,974 --> 01:04:12,761
it was trampled on,
and the birds ate it up.
1095
01:04:12,805 --> 01:04:14,894
Some fell on rocky ground,
1096
01:04:14,938 --> 01:04:17,331
and when it came up,
the plants withered
1097
01:04:17,375 --> 01:04:19,377
because they had
no moisture.
1098
01:04:20,857 --> 01:04:23,903
Other seed fell
among thorns,
1099
01:04:23,947 --> 01:04:26,732
which grew up with it
and choked the plants.
1100
01:04:28,386 --> 01:04:32,042
Still other seed
fell on good soil.
1101
01:04:32,085 --> 01:04:34,696
It came up
and yielded a crop,
1102
01:04:34,740 --> 01:04:37,438
a hundred times more
than was sown."
1103
01:04:41,790 --> 01:04:44,271
When he said this,
he called out,
1104
01:04:44,315 --> 01:04:49,929
"Whoever has ears to hear,
let them hear."
1105
01:04:49,973 --> 01:04:53,672
His disciples asked him
what this parable meant.
1106
01:04:53,715 --> 01:04:56,109
He said, "The knowledge
of the secrets
1107
01:04:56,153 --> 01:04:59,112
of the kingdom of God
has been given to you,
1108
01:04:59,156 --> 01:05:01,462
but to others I speak
in parables,
1109
01:05:01,506 --> 01:05:04,726
so that, though seeing,
they may not see,
1110
01:05:04,770 --> 01:05:07,642
though hearing,
they may not understand.
1111
01:05:11,429 --> 01:05:14,040
This is the meaning
of the parable,
1112
01:05:14,084 --> 01:05:17,739
the seed
is the word of God.
1113
01:05:17,783 --> 01:05:21,221
Those along the path
are the ones who hear,
1114
01:05:21,265 --> 01:05:22,831
and then the devil comes
1115
01:05:22,875 --> 01:05:25,356
and takes away the word
from their hearts,
1116
01:05:25,399 --> 01:05:28,837
so that they may not believe
and be saved.
1117
01:05:28,881 --> 01:05:31,405
Those on the rocky ground
are the ones
1118
01:05:31,449 --> 01:05:34,582
who receive the word with joy
when they hear it,
1119
01:05:34,626 --> 01:05:36,976
but they have no root.
1120
01:05:37,020 --> 01:05:40,719
They believe for a while,
but in the time of testing
1121
01:05:40,762 --> 01:05:42,373
they fall away.
1122
01:05:42,416 --> 01:05:45,028
The seed that fell
among thorns
1123
01:05:45,071 --> 01:05:47,595
stands for those who hear,
1124
01:05:47,639 --> 01:05:49,554
but as they go on their way
they are choked
1125
01:05:49,597 --> 01:05:52,687
by life's worries, riches
and pleasures,
1126
01:05:52,731 --> 01:05:54,820
and they do not mature.
1127
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:58,650
But the seed on good soil
1128
01:05:58,693 --> 01:06:02,610
stands for those
with a noble and good heart,
1129
01:06:02,654 --> 01:06:05,787
who hear the word,
retain it,
1130
01:06:05,831 --> 01:06:08,486
and by persevering
produce a crop.
1131
01:06:10,575 --> 01:06:14,187
No one lights a lamp
and hides it in a clay jar
1132
01:06:14,231 --> 01:06:16,102
or puts it under a bed.
1133
01:06:16,146 --> 01:06:18,104
Instead, they put it
on a stand,
1134
01:06:18,148 --> 01:06:21,760
so that those who come in
can see the light.
1135
01:06:21,803 --> 01:06:25,155
For there is nothing hidden
that will not be disclosed,
1136
01:06:25,198 --> 01:06:27,766
and nothing concealed
that will not be known
1137
01:06:27,809 --> 01:06:30,421
or brought out
into the open.
1138
01:06:30,464 --> 01:06:34,207
Therefore consider carefully
how you listen.
1139
01:06:34,251 --> 01:06:36,818
Whoever has
will be given more,
1140
01:06:36,862 --> 01:06:38,298
whoever does not have,
1141
01:06:38,342 --> 01:06:40,518
even what they think
they have
1142
01:06:40,561 --> 01:06:42,346
will be taken from them."
1143
01:06:44,957 --> 01:06:48,482
Now Jesus'
mother and brothers
came to see him,
1144
01:06:48,526 --> 01:06:50,397
but they were not able
to get near him
1145
01:06:50,441 --> 01:06:52,791
because of the crowd.
1146
01:06:52,834 --> 01:06:55,359
Someone told him,
"Your mother and brothers
1147
01:06:55,402 --> 01:06:59,102
are standing outside,
waiting to see you."
1148
01:06:59,145 --> 01:07:02,409
He replied,
"My mothers and brothers
1149
01:07:02,453 --> 01:07:04,846
are those who hear
God's word
1150
01:07:04,890 --> 01:07:06,761
and put it
into practice."
1151
01:07:11,288 --> 01:07:14,030
One day Jesus said
to his disciples,
1152
01:07:14,073 --> 01:07:16,945
"Let us go over
to the other side
of the lake."
1153
01:07:16,989 --> 01:07:19,557
So they got into a boat
and set out.
1154
01:07:26,346 --> 01:07:29,871
As they sailed,
he fell asleep.
1155
01:07:37,357 --> 01:07:39,968
[ thunder crashing ]
1156
01:07:40,012 --> 01:07:41,970
A squall came down
on the lake,
1157
01:07:42,014 --> 01:07:44,321
so that the boat
was being swamped,
1158
01:07:44,364 --> 01:07:45,887
and they were
in great danger.
1159
01:07:50,153 --> 01:07:52,677
The disciples went
and woke him, saying,
1160
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:56,159
"Master, Master,
we're going to drown!"
1161
01:07:58,422 --> 01:08:01,512
He got up
and rebuked the wind
1162
01:08:01,555 --> 01:08:03,905
and the raging waters.
1163
01:08:20,270 --> 01:08:24,926
The storm subsided,
and all was calm.
1164
01:08:24,970 --> 01:08:29,105
"Where is your faith?",
he asked his disciples.
1165
01:08:29,148 --> 01:08:32,934
In fear and amazement
they asked one another,
1166
01:08:32,978 --> 01:08:34,632
"Who is this?
1167
01:08:34,675 --> 01:08:37,287
He commands even the winds
and the water,
1168
01:08:37,330 --> 01:08:39,115
and they obey him."
1169
01:08:42,292 --> 01:08:44,685
They sailed to the region
of the Gerasenes,
1170
01:08:44,729 --> 01:08:46,774
which is across the lake
from Galilee.
1171
01:08:50,474 --> 01:08:52,476
When Jesus
stepped ashore,
1172
01:08:52,519 --> 01:08:56,175
he was met by
a demon-possessed man
from the town.
1173
01:08:59,526 --> 01:09:02,268
For a long time this man
had not worn clothes
1174
01:09:02,312 --> 01:09:05,750
or lived in a house,
but had lived in the tombs.
1175
01:09:17,544 --> 01:09:19,590
When he saw Jesus,
he cried out
1176
01:09:19,633 --> 01:09:21,069
and fell at his feet,
1177
01:09:21,113 --> 01:09:22,897
shouting at the top
of his voice,
1178
01:09:22,941 --> 01:09:24,682
"What do you
want with me, Jesus,
1179
01:09:24,725 --> 01:09:26,640
Son of the Most High God?
1180
01:09:26,684 --> 01:09:30,253
I beg you,
don't torture me!",
1181
01:09:30,296 --> 01:09:32,907
for Jesus had commanded
the impure spirit
1182
01:09:32,951 --> 01:09:34,648
to come out of the man.
1183
01:09:39,044 --> 01:09:40,785
Many times
it had seized him,
1184
01:09:40,828 --> 01:09:42,961
and though he was chained
hand and foot
1185
01:09:43,004 --> 01:09:46,225
and kept under guard,
he had broken his chains
1186
01:09:46,269 --> 01:09:47,835
and had been driven
by the demon
1187
01:09:47,879 --> 01:09:49,446
into solitary places.
1188
01:09:49,489 --> 01:09:52,144
[ growling, hissing ]
1189
01:09:52,188 --> 01:09:56,931
Jesus asked him,
"What is your name?"
1190
01:09:56,975 --> 01:09:59,369
"Legion," he replied,
1191
01:09:59,412 --> 01:10:01,545
because many demons
had gone into him,
1192
01:10:01,588 --> 01:10:03,373
and they begged Jesus
repeatedly
1193
01:10:03,416 --> 01:10:05,897
not to order them
to go into the Abyss.
1194
01:10:10,641 --> 01:10:12,773
A large herd of pigs
was feeding there
1195
01:10:12,817 --> 01:10:13,948
on the hillside.
1196
01:10:13,992 --> 01:10:16,124
The demons begged Jesus
1197
01:10:16,168 --> 01:10:18,083
to let them go
into the pigs...
1198
01:10:22,087 --> 01:10:24,481
and he gave them
permission.
1199
01:10:30,617 --> 01:10:32,228
When the demons
came out of the man,
1200
01:10:32,271 --> 01:10:34,142
they went into the pigs,
1201
01:10:34,186 --> 01:10:36,232
and the herd rushed
down the steep bank
1202
01:10:36,275 --> 01:10:38,059
into the lake
and was drowned.
1203
01:10:40,540 --> 01:10:43,369
When those tending the pigs
saw what had happened,
1204
01:10:43,413 --> 01:10:45,241
they ran off
and reported this
1205
01:10:45,284 --> 01:10:46,938
in the town
and countryside,
1206
01:10:46,981 --> 01:10:49,680
and the people went out
to see what had happened.
1207
01:10:51,421 --> 01:10:54,119
When they came to Jesus,
they found the man
1208
01:10:54,162 --> 01:10:55,729
from whom the demons
had gone out
1209
01:10:55,773 --> 01:10:57,470
sitting at Jesus' feet,
1210
01:10:57,514 --> 01:11:01,431
dressed and in
his right mind,
1211
01:11:01,474 --> 01:11:03,433
and they were afraid.
1212
01:11:05,609 --> 01:11:07,698
Those who had seen it
told the people
1213
01:11:07,741 --> 01:11:12,311
how the demon-possessed man
had been cured.
1214
01:11:12,355 --> 01:11:13,965
Then all the people
of the region
1215
01:11:14,008 --> 01:11:17,098
of the Gerasenes
asked Jesus to leave them,
1216
01:11:17,142 --> 01:11:21,320
because they were
overcome with fear.
1217
01:11:21,364 --> 01:11:23,888
So he got
into the boat and left.
1218
01:11:25,890 --> 01:11:28,022
The man from whom
the demons had gone out
1219
01:11:28,066 --> 01:11:32,462
begged to go with him,
but Jesus sent him away,
1220
01:11:32,505 --> 01:11:36,292
saying, "Return home
1221
01:11:36,335 --> 01:11:39,338
and tell how much God
has done for you."
1222
01:11:41,993 --> 01:11:45,518
So the man went away
and told all over town
1223
01:11:45,562 --> 01:11:47,215
how much Jesus
had done for him.
1224
01:11:55,963 --> 01:11:59,619
Now when Jesus returned,
a crowd welcomed him,
1225
01:11:59,663 --> 01:12:01,752
for they were all
expecting him.
1226
01:12:03,797 --> 01:12:06,713
Then a man named Jairus,
a synagogue leader,
1227
01:12:06,757 --> 01:12:08,933
came and fell
at Jesus' feet,
1228
01:12:08,976 --> 01:12:11,196
pleading with him
to come to his house
1229
01:12:11,239 --> 01:12:12,763
because his only daughter,
1230
01:12:12,806 --> 01:12:15,722
a girl of about 12,
was dying.
1231
01:12:19,639 --> 01:12:21,598
As Jesus was on his way,
1232
01:12:21,641 --> 01:12:24,775
the crowds
almost crushed him.
1233
01:12:24,818 --> 01:12:26,690
And a woman was there
who had been subject
1234
01:12:26,733 --> 01:12:28,779
to bleeding
for twelve years,
1235
01:12:28,822 --> 01:12:32,304
but no one
could heal her.
1236
01:12:32,348 --> 01:12:33,784
She came up behind him
1237
01:12:33,827 --> 01:12:36,003
and touched the edge
of his cloak,
1238
01:12:36,047 --> 01:12:38,963
and immediately
her bleeding stopped.
1239
01:12:41,357 --> 01:12:44,403
"Who touched me?",
Jesus asked.
1240
01:12:44,447 --> 01:12:46,100
When they all denied it,
1241
01:12:46,144 --> 01:12:49,539
Peter said, "Master,
the people are crowding
1242
01:12:49,582 --> 01:12:51,584
and pressing against you."
1243
01:12:51,628 --> 01:12:55,588
But Jesus said,
"Someone touched me.
1244
01:12:55,632 --> 01:12:59,462
I know that power
has gone out from me."
1245
01:12:59,505 --> 01:13:02,682
Then the woman, seeing
that she could not
go unnoticed,
1246
01:13:02,726 --> 01:13:06,294
came trembling
and fell at his feet.
1247
01:13:06,338 --> 01:13:07,687
In the presence
of all the people,
1248
01:13:07,731 --> 01:13:09,733
she told why
she had touched him
1249
01:13:09,776 --> 01:13:12,605
and how she had been
instantly healed.
1250
01:13:15,042 --> 01:13:16,827
Then he said to her,
1251
01:13:16,870 --> 01:13:20,308
"Daughter, your faith
has healed you.
1252
01:13:20,352 --> 01:13:22,223
Go in peace."
1253
01:13:24,487 --> 01:13:26,532
While Jesus
was still speaking,
1254
01:13:26,576 --> 01:13:28,578
someone came
from the house of Jairus,
1255
01:13:28,621 --> 01:13:30,536
the synagogue leader.
1256
01:13:33,191 --> 01:13:35,454
"Your daughter is dead,"
he said.
1257
01:13:35,498 --> 01:13:38,109
"Don't bother
the teacher anymore."
1258
01:13:40,981 --> 01:13:43,462
Hearing this,
Jesus said to Jairus,
1259
01:13:43,506 --> 01:13:45,899
"Don't be afraid,
just believe,
1260
01:13:45,943 --> 01:13:47,858
and she will be healed."
1261
01:13:47,901 --> 01:13:49,729
When he arrived
at the house of Jairus,
1262
01:13:49,773 --> 01:13:52,079
he did not let anyone
go in with him
1263
01:13:52,123 --> 01:13:54,038
except Peter,
John and James,
1264
01:13:54,081 --> 01:13:57,650
and the child's
father and mother.
1265
01:13:57,694 --> 01:13:59,652
Meanwhile, all the people
were wailing
1266
01:13:59,696 --> 01:14:01,611
and mourning for her.
1267
01:14:01,654 --> 01:14:04,396
"Stop wailing,"
Jesus said.
1268
01:14:04,440 --> 01:14:07,443
"She is not dead,
but asleep."
1269
01:14:07,486 --> 01:14:11,751
They laughed at him,
knowing that she was dead.
1270
01:14:11,795 --> 01:14:14,841
But he took her
by the hand and said,
1271
01:14:14,885 --> 01:14:17,191
"My child, get up!"
1272
01:15:00,713 --> 01:15:04,630
Her spirit returned,
and at once she stood up.
1273
01:15:08,591 --> 01:15:12,116
Then Jesus told them
to give her something to eat.
1274
01:15:12,159 --> 01:15:14,074
Her parents
were astonished,
1275
01:15:14,118 --> 01:15:16,294
but he ordered them
not to tell anyone
1276
01:15:16,337 --> 01:15:17,643
what had happened.
1277
01:15:25,956 --> 01:15:28,436
When Jesus had called
the Twelve together,
1278
01:15:28,480 --> 01:15:30,700
he gave them power
and authority
1279
01:15:30,743 --> 01:15:34,355
to drive out all demons
and to cure diseases,
1280
01:15:34,399 --> 01:15:35,922
and he sent them out
to proclaim
1281
01:15:35,966 --> 01:15:39,230
the kingdom of God
and to heal the sick.
1282
01:15:39,273 --> 01:15:42,929
He told them, "Take nothing
for the journey--
1283
01:15:42,973 --> 01:15:48,761
no staff, no bag, no bread,
no money, no extra shirt.
1284
01:15:48,805 --> 01:15:50,328
Whatever house you enter,
1285
01:15:50,371 --> 01:15:53,070
stay there
until you leave that town.
1286
01:15:55,855 --> 01:15:59,642
If people
do not welcome you,
leave their town
1287
01:15:59,685 --> 01:16:01,600
and shake the dust
off your feet
1288
01:16:01,644 --> 01:16:05,343
as a testimony
against them."
1289
01:16:05,386 --> 01:16:08,128
So they set out and went
from village to village,
1290
01:16:08,172 --> 01:16:09,826
proclaiming
the good news
1291
01:16:09,869 --> 01:16:11,871
and healing people
everywhere.
1292
01:16:14,091 --> 01:16:17,834
Now Herod the tetrarch heard
about all that was going on.
1293
01:16:17,877 --> 01:16:20,837
And he was perplexed
because some were saying
1294
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:23,100
that John had been raised
from the dead,
1295
01:16:23,143 --> 01:16:24,971
others that Elijah
had appeared,
1296
01:16:25,015 --> 01:16:27,844
and still others that one
of the prophets of long ago
1297
01:16:27,887 --> 01:16:29,280
had come back to life.
1298
01:16:29,323 --> 01:16:33,153
But Herod said,
"I beheaded John.
1299
01:16:33,197 --> 01:16:36,635
Who, then, is this
I hear such things about?"
1300
01:16:36,679 --> 01:16:38,724
And he tried to see him.
1301
01:16:43,642 --> 01:16:45,992
When the apostles
returned,
1302
01:16:46,036 --> 01:16:49,779
they reported to Jesus
what they had done.
1303
01:16:49,822 --> 01:16:51,302
Then he took them with him
1304
01:16:51,345 --> 01:16:52,695
and they withdrew
by themselves
1305
01:16:52,738 --> 01:16:55,219
to a town called
Bethsaida...
1306
01:16:59,702 --> 01:17:01,181
but the crowds
learned about it
1307
01:17:01,225 --> 01:17:02,705
and followed him.
1308
01:17:02,748 --> 01:17:04,228
He welcomed them
and spoke to them
1309
01:17:04,271 --> 01:17:05,708
about the kingdom of God,
1310
01:17:05,751 --> 01:17:09,450
and healed those
who needed healing.
1311
01:17:09,494 --> 01:17:12,192
Late in the afternoon
the Twelve came to him
1312
01:17:12,236 --> 01:17:14,717
and said,
"Send the crowd away
1313
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:17,371
so they can go
to the surrounding
villages and countryside
1314
01:17:17,415 --> 01:17:19,069
and find food and lodging,
1315
01:17:19,112 --> 01:17:21,811
because we are in
a remote place here."
1316
01:17:21,854 --> 01:17:25,031
He replied, "You give them
something to eat."
1317
01:17:27,730 --> 01:17:30,515
They answered, "We have only
five loaves of bread
1318
01:17:30,558 --> 01:17:35,607
and two fish--
unless we go and buy food
for all this crowd."
1319
01:17:35,651 --> 01:17:38,958
About five thousand
men were there.
1320
01:17:39,002 --> 01:17:41,308
But he said
to his disciples,
1321
01:17:41,352 --> 01:17:42,701
"Have them sit down
in groups
1322
01:17:42,745 --> 01:17:45,399
of about 50 each."
1323
01:17:45,443 --> 01:17:48,402
The disciples did so,
and everyone sat down.
1324
01:17:52,668 --> 01:17:54,887
Taking the five loaves
and the two fish
1325
01:17:54,931 --> 01:17:56,759
and looking up
to heaven,
1326
01:17:56,802 --> 01:17:59,413
he gave thanks
and broke them.
1327
01:18:01,502 --> 01:18:03,417
Then he gave them
to the disciples
1328
01:18:03,461 --> 01:18:05,158
to distribute
to the people.
1329
01:18:07,465 --> 01:18:10,294
They all ate
and were satisfied...
1330
01:18:15,386 --> 01:18:18,084
and the disciples picked up
12 basketfuls
1331
01:18:18,128 --> 01:18:20,696
of broken pieces
that were left over.
1332
01:18:33,709 --> 01:18:35,449
Once when Jesus
was praying in private
1333
01:18:35,493 --> 01:18:37,451
and his disciples
were with him,
1334
01:18:37,495 --> 01:18:39,453
he asked them...
1335
01:18:41,455 --> 01:18:44,067
"Who do the crowds
say I am?"
1336
01:18:44,110 --> 01:18:47,157
They replied,
"Some say John the Baptist,
1337
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:49,725
others say Elijah,
and still others,
1338
01:18:49,768 --> 01:18:51,335
that one of the prophets
of long ago
1339
01:18:51,378 --> 01:18:53,598
has come back to life."
1340
01:18:53,641 --> 01:18:55,861
"But what about you?",
he asked.
1341
01:18:55,905 --> 01:18:58,995
"Who do you say I am?"
1342
01:18:59,038 --> 01:19:01,432
Peter answered,
"God's Messiah."
1343
01:19:05,305 --> 01:19:08,265
Jesus strictly warned them
not to tell this to anyone.
1344
01:19:11,137 --> 01:19:15,751
And he said,
"The Son of Man
must suffer many things
1345
01:19:15,794 --> 01:19:17,709
and be rejected
by the elders,
1346
01:19:17,753 --> 01:19:21,452
the chief priests,
and the teachers of the law,
1347
01:19:21,495 --> 01:19:25,021
and he must be killed
1348
01:19:25,064 --> 01:19:29,025
and on the third day
be raised to life."
1349
01:19:29,068 --> 01:19:31,027
Then he said to them all,
1350
01:19:31,070 --> 01:19:32,942
"Whoever wants
to be my disciple
1351
01:19:32,985 --> 01:19:37,033
must deny themselves
and take up their cross daily
1352
01:19:37,076 --> 01:19:40,950
and follow me.
1353
01:19:40,993 --> 01:19:44,823
For whoever wants
to save their life
will lose it,
1354
01:19:44,867 --> 01:19:47,086
but whoever loses
their life for me
1355
01:19:47,130 --> 01:19:50,176
will save it.
1356
01:19:50,220 --> 01:19:53,484
What good is it for someone
to gain the whole world,
1357
01:19:53,527 --> 01:19:55,921
and yet lose or forfeit
their very self?
1358
01:19:58,794 --> 01:20:01,666
Whoever is ashamed of me
and my words,
1359
01:20:01,709 --> 01:20:04,016
the Son of Man
will be ashamed of them
1360
01:20:04,060 --> 01:20:06,627
when he comes in his glory
1361
01:20:06,671 --> 01:20:09,848
and in the glory
of the Father
1362
01:20:09,892 --> 01:20:12,546
and of the holy angels.
1363
01:20:12,590 --> 01:20:16,246
Truly I tell you,
some who are standing here
1364
01:20:16,289 --> 01:20:19,075
will not taste death
before they see
1365
01:20:19,118 --> 01:20:21,077
the kingdom of God."
1366
01:20:30,695 --> 01:20:34,438
About eight days
after Jesus said this,
1367
01:20:34,481 --> 01:20:37,136
he took Peter, John
and James with him
1368
01:20:37,180 --> 01:20:39,747
and went up
onto a mountain to pray.
1369
01:20:42,185 --> 01:20:44,056
As he was praying,
1370
01:20:44,100 --> 01:20:46,842
the appearance
of his face changed,
1371
01:20:46,885 --> 01:20:50,062
and his clothes became
as bright as a flash
of lightning.
1372
01:20:57,287 --> 01:21:00,768
Two men,
Moses and Elijah,
1373
01:21:00,812 --> 01:21:03,336
appeared in glorious
splendor,
1374
01:21:03,380 --> 01:21:04,729
talking with Jesus.
1375
01:21:04,772 --> 01:21:06,818
They spoke about
his departure,
1376
01:21:06,862 --> 01:21:10,474
which he was about to bring
to fulfillment at Jerusalem.
1377
01:21:10,517 --> 01:21:13,781
Peter and his companions
were very sleepy,
1378
01:21:13,825 --> 01:21:16,175
but when they became
fully awake,
1379
01:21:16,219 --> 01:21:17,611
they saw his glory
1380
01:21:17,655 --> 01:21:21,093
and the two men
standing with him.
1381
01:21:21,137 --> 01:21:24,575
As the men
were leaving Jesus,
Peter said to him,
1382
01:21:24,618 --> 01:21:27,360
"Master, it is good
for us to be here.
1383
01:21:27,404 --> 01:21:29,449
Let us put up
three shelters,
1384
01:21:29,493 --> 01:21:32,670
one for you, one for Moses
and one for Elijah."
1385
01:21:32,713 --> 01:21:35,934
He did not know
what he was saying.
1386
01:21:35,978 --> 01:21:37,675
While he was speaking,
1387
01:21:37,718 --> 01:21:40,025
a cloud appeared
and covered them,
1388
01:21:40,069 --> 01:21:43,159
and they were afraid
as they entered the cloud.
1389
01:21:43,202 --> 01:21:45,683
A voice came
from the cloud, saying,
1390
01:21:45,726 --> 01:21:49,600
"This is my Son,
whom I have chosen.
1391
01:21:49,643 --> 01:21:51,210
Listen to him."
1392
01:21:55,998 --> 01:21:57,825
When the voice
had spoken,
1393
01:21:57,869 --> 01:22:00,437
they found that Jesus
was alone.
1394
01:22:00,480 --> 01:22:02,656
The disciples kept this
to themselves
1395
01:22:02,700 --> 01:22:04,789
and did not tell
anyone at that time
1396
01:22:04,832 --> 01:22:08,445
what they had seen.
1397
01:22:08,488 --> 01:22:10,969
The next day,
when they came down
from the mountain,
1398
01:22:11,013 --> 01:22:13,189
a large crowd met him.
1399
01:22:13,232 --> 01:22:15,321
A man in the crowd
called out,
1400
01:22:15,365 --> 01:22:18,585
"Teacher, I beg you
to look at my son,
1401
01:22:18,629 --> 01:22:20,761
for he is my only child.
1402
01:22:20,805 --> 01:22:24,287
A spirit seizes him
and he suddenly screams.
1403
01:22:24,330 --> 01:22:26,028
It throws him
into convulsions
1404
01:22:26,071 --> 01:22:28,117
so that he foams
at the mouth.
1405
01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:31,468
It scarcely ever leaves him
and is destroying him.
1406
01:22:31,511 --> 01:22:33,600
I begged your disciples
to drive it out,
1407
01:22:33,644 --> 01:22:36,255
but they could not."
1408
01:22:36,299 --> 01:22:39,432
"You unbelieving
and perverse generation,"
1409
01:22:39,476 --> 01:22:43,915
Jesus replied, "how long
shall I stay with you
1410
01:22:43,959 --> 01:22:45,395
and put up with you?
1411
01:22:45,438 --> 01:22:47,310
Bring your son here."
1412
01:22:47,353 --> 01:22:49,268
Even while the boy
was coming,
1413
01:22:49,312 --> 01:22:51,096
the demon threw him
to the ground
1414
01:22:51,140 --> 01:22:52,750
in a convulsion.
1415
01:23:04,892 --> 01:23:07,983
But Jesus rebuked
the impure spirit...
1416
01:23:10,420 --> 01:23:12,726
healed the boy...
1417
01:23:15,512 --> 01:23:17,775
and gave him back
to his father.
1418
01:23:20,778 --> 01:23:24,564
And they were all amazed
at the greatness of God.
1419
01:23:43,801 --> 01:23:46,891
While everyone was marveling
at all that Jesus did,
1420
01:23:46,934 --> 01:23:48,719
he said to his disciples,
1421
01:23:48,762 --> 01:23:51,983
"Listen carefully to what
I am about to tell you.
1422
01:23:54,116 --> 01:23:55,943
The Son of Man
is going to be delivered
1423
01:23:55,987 --> 01:23:58,468
into the hands of men."
1424
01:23:58,511 --> 01:24:03,473
But they did not understand
what this meant.
1425
01:24:03,516 --> 01:24:04,909
It was hidden from them,
1426
01:24:04,952 --> 01:24:07,520
so that they did not
grasp it,
1427
01:24:07,564 --> 01:24:09,305
and they were afraid
to ask him about it.
1428
01:24:17,052 --> 01:24:19,271
An argument started
among the disciples
1429
01:24:19,315 --> 01:24:21,839
as to which of them
would be the greatest.
1430
01:24:24,972 --> 01:24:27,497
Jesus,
knowing their thoughts,
1431
01:24:27,540 --> 01:24:31,327
took a little child
and had him stand beside him.
1432
01:24:31,370 --> 01:24:33,546
Then he said to them,
1433
01:24:33,590 --> 01:24:38,812
"Whoever welcomes
this little child
in my name welcomes me,
1434
01:24:38,856 --> 01:24:44,079
and whoever welcomes me
welcomes the one
who sent me.
1435
01:24:44,122 --> 01:24:48,953
For it is the one
who is least among you all
who is the greatest."
1436
01:24:51,608 --> 01:24:53,566
"Master," said John,
1437
01:24:53,610 --> 01:24:56,482
"we saw someone driving out
demons in your name
1438
01:24:56,526 --> 01:24:58,049
and we tried to stop him,
1439
01:24:58,093 --> 01:25:00,704
because he is
not one of us."
1440
01:25:00,747 --> 01:25:03,010
"Do not stop him,"
Jesus said,
1441
01:25:03,054 --> 01:25:07,493
"for whoever is not
against you is for you."
1442
01:25:12,281 --> 01:25:13,847
As the time
approached for him
1443
01:25:13,891 --> 01:25:15,458
to be taken up to heaven,
1444
01:25:15,501 --> 01:25:19,070
Jesus resolutely set out
for Jerusalem.
1445
01:25:19,114 --> 01:25:20,898
And he sent
messengers on ahead,
1446
01:25:20,941 --> 01:25:22,508
who went into
a Samaritan village
1447
01:25:22,552 --> 01:25:24,902
to get things
ready for him,
1448
01:25:24,945 --> 01:25:27,122
but the people there
did not welcome him,
1449
01:25:27,165 --> 01:25:28,906
because he was heading
for Jerusalem.
1450
01:25:36,392 --> 01:25:38,872
When the disciples
James and John saw this,
1451
01:25:38,916 --> 01:25:41,745
they asked,
"Lord, do you want us
1452
01:25:41,788 --> 01:25:43,355
to call fire
down from heaven
1453
01:25:43,399 --> 01:25:46,358
to destroy them?"
1454
01:25:46,402 --> 01:25:48,969
But Jesus turned
and rebuked them.
1455
01:25:51,972 --> 01:25:54,801
Then he and his disciples
went to another village.
1456
01:26:06,073 --> 01:26:08,119
As they were walking
along the road,
1457
01:26:08,163 --> 01:26:10,165
a man said to him,
1458
01:26:10,208 --> 01:26:13,559
"I will follow you
wherever you go."
1459
01:26:13,603 --> 01:26:16,475
Jesus replied,
"Foxes have dens
1460
01:26:16,519 --> 01:26:18,608
and birds have nests,
1461
01:26:18,651 --> 01:26:20,087
but the Son of Man
1462
01:26:20,131 --> 01:26:22,699
has no place
to lay his head."
1463
01:26:25,702 --> 01:26:29,923
He said to another man,
"Follow me."
1464
01:26:29,967 --> 01:26:31,708
But he replied,
1465
01:26:31,751 --> 01:26:35,407
"Lord, first let me go
and bury my father."
1466
01:26:35,451 --> 01:26:37,192
Jesus said to him,
1467
01:26:37,235 --> 01:26:40,369
"Let the dead bury
their own dead,
1468
01:26:40,412 --> 01:26:43,720
but you go and proclaim
the kingdom of God."
1469
01:26:49,378 --> 01:26:52,424
Still another said,
"I will follow you, Lord,
1470
01:26:52,468 --> 01:26:53,730
but first let me go back
1471
01:26:53,773 --> 01:26:56,080
and say good-bye
to my family."
1472
01:26:59,692 --> 01:27:03,653
Jesus replied,
"No one who puts a hand
to the plow
1473
01:27:03,696 --> 01:27:07,700
and looks back
is fit for service
in the kingdom of God."
1474
01:27:16,492 --> 01:27:20,017
After this, the Lord
appointed 72 others
1475
01:27:20,060 --> 01:27:22,454
and sent them
two by two ahead of him
1476
01:27:22,498 --> 01:27:26,023
to every town and place
where he was about to go.
1477
01:27:26,066 --> 01:27:29,331
He told them,
"The harvest is plentiful,
1478
01:27:29,374 --> 01:27:32,421
but the workers are few.
1479
01:27:32,464 --> 01:27:35,380
Ask the Lord of the harvest,
therefore, to send out
1480
01:27:35,424 --> 01:27:38,035
workers into
his harvest field.
1481
01:27:38,078 --> 01:27:39,689
Go!
1482
01:27:39,732 --> 01:27:42,779
I am sending you out
like lambs among wolves.
1483
01:27:42,822 --> 01:27:46,086
Do not take a purse
or bag or sandals,
1484
01:27:46,130 --> 01:27:48,263
and do not greet
anyone on the road.
1485
01:27:50,613 --> 01:27:52,354
When you enter a house,
1486
01:27:52,397 --> 01:27:55,313
first say,
'Peace to this house.'
1487
01:27:55,357 --> 01:27:57,750
If someone who promotes
peace is there,
1488
01:27:57,794 --> 01:27:59,796
your peace
will rest on them,
1489
01:27:59,839 --> 01:28:03,626
if not,
it will return to you.
1490
01:28:03,669 --> 01:28:07,804
Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you,
1491
01:28:07,847 --> 01:28:10,415
for the worker
deserves his wages.
1492
01:28:10,459 --> 01:28:14,550
Do not move around
from house to house.
1493
01:28:14,593 --> 01:28:17,248
When you enter a town
and are welcomed,
1494
01:28:17,292 --> 01:28:19,642
eat what is offered to you.
1495
01:28:21,208 --> 01:28:22,906
Heal the sick
who are there
1496
01:28:22,949 --> 01:28:24,951
and tell them,
'The kingdom of God
1497
01:28:24,995 --> 01:28:27,040
has come near to you.'
1498
01:28:29,608 --> 01:28:32,655
But when you enter a town
and are not welcomed,
1499
01:28:32,698 --> 01:28:34,526
go into its streets
and say,
1500
01:28:34,570 --> 01:28:37,268
'Even the dust of your town
we wipe from our feet
1501
01:28:37,312 --> 01:28:38,791
as a warning to you.
1502
01:28:38,835 --> 01:28:40,793
Yet be sure of this,
1503
01:28:40,837 --> 01:28:43,753
the kingdom of God
has come near.
1504
01:28:43,796 --> 01:28:46,625
I tell you, it will be
more bearable on that day
1505
01:28:46,669 --> 01:28:50,325
for Sodom
than for that town.
1506
01:28:50,368 --> 01:28:52,370
Woe to you, Chorazin!
1507
01:28:52,414 --> 01:28:54,677
Woe to you, Bethsaida!
1508
01:28:54,720 --> 01:28:57,767
For if the miracles
that were performed in you
1509
01:28:57,810 --> 01:29:00,552
had been performed
in Tyre and Sidon,
1510
01:29:00,596 --> 01:29:02,641
they would have
repented long ago,
1511
01:29:02,685 --> 01:29:05,949
sitting in sackcloth
and ashes.
1512
01:29:05,992 --> 01:29:09,082
But it will be more bearable
for Tyre and Sidon
1513
01:29:09,126 --> 01:29:11,998
at the judgment
than for you.
1514
01:29:12,042 --> 01:29:15,828
And you, Capernaum,
will you be lifted
to the heavens?
1515
01:29:15,872 --> 01:29:21,138
No, you will
go down to Hades.
1516
01:29:21,181 --> 01:29:24,620
Whoever listens to you
listens to me.
1517
01:29:24,663 --> 01:29:28,885
Whoever rejects you
rejects me.
1518
01:29:28,928 --> 01:29:33,193
But whoever rejects me
rejects him who sent me.'"
1519
01:29:45,902 --> 01:29:49,253
The 72 returned
with joy and said,
1520
01:29:49,296 --> 01:29:53,475
"Lord, even the demons
submit to us in your name."
1521
01:29:55,433 --> 01:29:58,828
He replied,
"I saw Satan fall
1522
01:29:58,871 --> 01:30:01,613
like lightning
from heaven.
1523
01:30:05,225 --> 01:30:06,662
I have given you
authority
1524
01:30:06,705 --> 01:30:09,316
to trample on snakes
and scorpions
1525
01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:12,668
and to overcome
all the power of the enemy,
1526
01:30:12,711 --> 01:30:14,278
nothing will harm you.
1527
01:30:15,888 --> 01:30:17,412
However,
do not rejoice
1528
01:30:17,455 --> 01:30:19,762
that the spirits
submit to you,
1529
01:30:19,805 --> 01:30:21,764
but rejoice
that your names
1530
01:30:21,807 --> 01:30:24,331
are written in heaven."
1531
01:30:24,375 --> 01:30:27,465
At that time Jesus,
full of joy
1532
01:30:27,509 --> 01:30:31,991
through the Holy Spirit,
said, "I praise you, Father,
1533
01:30:32,035 --> 01:30:33,906
Lord of heaven and Earth,
1534
01:30:33,950 --> 01:30:35,604
because you have
hidden these things
1535
01:30:35,647 --> 01:30:37,475
from the wise and learned,
1536
01:30:37,519 --> 01:30:40,260
and revealed them
to little children.
1537
01:30:40,304 --> 01:30:44,613
Yes, Father,
for this is what
you were pleased to do.
1538
01:30:44,656 --> 01:30:48,486
All things have been
committed to me
by my Father.
1539
01:30:48,530 --> 01:30:52,011
No one knows
who the Son is
except the Father,
1540
01:30:52,055 --> 01:30:55,450
and no one knows
who the Father is
except the Son,
1541
01:30:55,493 --> 01:30:58,540
and those to whom the Son
chooses to reveal him."
1542
01:31:02,195 --> 01:31:04,023
Then he turned
to his disciples
1543
01:31:04,067 --> 01:31:06,156
and said privately,
1544
01:31:06,199 --> 01:31:09,028
"Blessed are the eyes
that see what you see.
1545
01:31:09,072 --> 01:31:12,118
For I tell you that many
prophets and kings
1546
01:31:12,162 --> 01:31:15,905
wanted to see what you see
but did not see it,
1547
01:31:15,948 --> 01:31:19,256
and to hear what you hear
but did not hear it."
1548
01:31:27,699 --> 01:31:30,006
On one occasion
an expert in the law
1549
01:31:30,049 --> 01:31:33,488
stood up to test Jesus.
1550
01:31:33,531 --> 01:31:35,838
"Teacher," he asked,
"what must I do
1551
01:31:35,881 --> 01:31:39,363
to inherit eternal life?"
1552
01:31:39,406 --> 01:31:41,887
"What is written
in the Law?", he replied.
1553
01:31:41,931 --> 01:31:44,194
"How do you read it?"
1554
01:31:44,237 --> 01:31:46,849
He answered,
"'Love the Lord your God
1555
01:31:46,892 --> 01:31:49,852
with all your heart
and with all your soul
1556
01:31:49,895 --> 01:31:52,594
and with all your strength
and with all your mind.'
1557
01:31:52,637 --> 01:31:55,379
And 'Love your neighbor
as yourself.'"
1558
01:31:55,422 --> 01:31:58,600
"You have answered
correctly," Jesus replied.
1559
01:31:58,643 --> 01:32:01,080
"Do this
and you will live."
1560
01:32:01,124 --> 01:32:03,169
But he wanted
to justify himself,
1561
01:32:03,213 --> 01:32:08,305
so he asked Jesus,
"And who is my neighbor?"
1562
01:32:08,348 --> 01:32:12,004
In reply Jesus said,
"A man was going down
1563
01:32:12,048 --> 01:32:14,746
from Jerusalem to Jericho,
1564
01:32:14,790 --> 01:32:16,966
when he was attacked
by robbers.
1565
01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:23,538
[ speaking in Aramaic ]
1566
01:32:28,934 --> 01:32:30,457
They stripped him
of his clothes,
1567
01:32:30,501 --> 01:32:33,373
beat him and went away,
leaving him half dead.
1568
01:32:44,907 --> 01:32:47,779
A priest happened to be
going down the same road,
1569
01:32:47,823 --> 01:32:49,346
and when he saw the man,
1570
01:32:49,389 --> 01:32:51,217
he passed by
on the other side.
1571
01:32:55,221 --> 01:32:57,049
So, too, a Levite,
1572
01:32:57,093 --> 01:32:59,225
when he came to the place
and saw him,
1573
01:32:59,269 --> 01:33:01,576
passed by
on the other side.
1574
01:33:03,578 --> 01:33:06,319
But a Samaritan,
as he traveled,
1575
01:33:06,363 --> 01:33:09,584
came where the man was,
and when he saw him,
1576
01:33:09,627 --> 01:33:11,324
he took pity on him.
1577
01:33:13,675 --> 01:33:16,895
He went to him
and bandaged his wounds,
1578
01:33:16,939 --> 01:33:19,115
pouring on oil and wine.
1579
01:33:22,771 --> 01:33:25,338
Then he put the man
on his own donkey,
1580
01:33:25,382 --> 01:33:29,125
brought him to an inn
and took care of him.
1581
01:33:29,168 --> 01:33:31,562
The next day
he took out two denarii
1582
01:33:31,606 --> 01:33:33,477
and gave them
to the innkeeper.
1583
01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:35,392
'Look after him,' he said,
1584
01:33:35,435 --> 01:33:38,264
'and when I return,
I will reimburse you
1585
01:33:38,308 --> 01:33:40,876
for any extra expense
you may have.'
1586
01:33:42,791 --> 01:33:45,228
Which of these three
do you think was a neighbor
1587
01:33:45,271 --> 01:33:47,883
to the man who fell
into the hands of robbers?"
1588
01:33:49,711 --> 01:33:51,843
The expert
in the law replied,
1589
01:33:51,887 --> 01:33:54,019
"The one who
had mercy on him."
1590
01:33:56,239 --> 01:34:01,026
Jesus told him,
"Go and do likewise."
1591
01:34:11,950 --> 01:34:14,779
As Jesus and his disciples
were on their way,
1592
01:34:14,823 --> 01:34:17,564
he came to a village
where a woman named Martha
1593
01:34:17,608 --> 01:34:19,697
opened her home to him.
1594
01:34:19,741 --> 01:34:21,743
She had a sister
called Mary,
1595
01:34:21,786 --> 01:34:27,096
who sat at the Lord's feet
listening to what he said.
1596
01:34:27,139 --> 01:34:29,794
But Martha was distracted
by all the preparations
1597
01:34:29,838 --> 01:34:31,927
that had to be made.
1598
01:34:31,970 --> 01:34:35,060
She came to him and asked,
"Lord, don't you care
1599
01:34:35,104 --> 01:34:38,411
that my sister has left me
to do the work by myself?
1600
01:34:38,455 --> 01:34:40,631
Tell her to help me!"
1601
01:34:40,675 --> 01:34:43,808
"Martha, Martha,"
the Lord answered,
1602
01:34:43,852 --> 01:34:47,899
"you are worried and upset
about many things,
1603
01:34:47,943 --> 01:34:53,731
but few things are needed--
or indeed only one.
1604
01:34:53,775 --> 01:34:56,081
Mary has chosen
what is better...
1605
01:34:58,910 --> 01:35:01,086
and it will not
be taken away from her."
1606
01:35:09,529 --> 01:35:13,359
One day Jesus was praying
in a certain place.
1607
01:35:13,403 --> 01:35:15,448
When he finished,
one of his disciples
1608
01:35:15,492 --> 01:35:19,017
said to him,
"Lord, teach us to pray,
1609
01:35:19,061 --> 01:35:21,324
just as John
taught his disciples."
1610
01:35:25,241 --> 01:35:29,724
He said to them,
"When you pray, say,
1611
01:35:29,767 --> 01:35:34,119
'Father,
hallowed be your name,
1612
01:35:34,163 --> 01:35:36,339
your kingdom come.
1613
01:35:36,382 --> 01:35:39,255
Give us each day
our daily bread.
1614
01:35:42,867 --> 01:35:47,002
Forgive us our sins,
1615
01:35:47,045 --> 01:35:51,571
for we also forgive everyone
who sins against us.
1616
01:35:51,615 --> 01:35:53,835
And lead us not
into temptation.'"
1617
01:35:57,360 --> 01:36:00,885
Then Jesus said to them,
"Suppose you have a friend,
1618
01:36:00,929 --> 01:36:03,540
and you go to him
at midnight and say,
1619
01:36:03,583 --> 01:36:07,109
'Friend, lend me
three loaves of bread.
1620
01:36:07,152 --> 01:36:09,589
A friend of mine on
a journey has come to me,
1621
01:36:09,633 --> 01:36:11,374
and I have no food
to offer him.'
1622
01:36:15,030 --> 01:36:19,208
And suppose the one inside
answers, 'Don't bother me.
1623
01:36:19,251 --> 01:36:21,384
The door
is already locked,
1624
01:36:21,427 --> 01:36:24,474
and my children and I
are in bed.
1625
01:36:24,517 --> 01:36:27,956
I can't get up
and give you anything.'
1626
01:36:27,999 --> 01:36:31,394
I tell you, even though
he will not get up
1627
01:36:31,437 --> 01:36:33,831
and give you the bread
because of friendship,
1628
01:36:33,875 --> 01:36:36,834
yet because of
your shameless audacity
1629
01:36:36,878 --> 01:36:38,705
he will surely get up
and give you
1630
01:36:38,749 --> 01:36:40,664
as much as you need.
1631
01:36:43,058 --> 01:36:44,450
So I say to you,
1632
01:36:44,494 --> 01:36:47,497
ask and it will be
given to you,
1633
01:36:47,540 --> 01:36:49,934
seek and you will find,
1634
01:36:49,978 --> 01:36:53,198
knock and the door
will be opened to you.
1635
01:36:53,242 --> 01:36:56,201
For everyone
who asks receives,
1636
01:36:56,245 --> 01:36:58,856
the one who seeks finds,
1637
01:36:58,900 --> 01:37:02,425
and to the one who knocks,
the door will be opened.
1638
01:37:04,949 --> 01:37:09,345
Which of you fathers,
if your son asks for a fish,
1639
01:37:09,388 --> 01:37:12,174
will give him
a snake instead?
1640
01:37:12,217 --> 01:37:16,308
Or if he asks for an egg,
will give him a scorpion?
1641
01:37:16,352 --> 01:37:18,876
If you then,
though you are evil,
1642
01:37:18,920 --> 01:37:22,010
know how to give good gifts
to your children,
1643
01:37:22,053 --> 01:37:24,316
how much more will your
Father in heaven
1644
01:37:24,360 --> 01:37:28,930
give the Holy Spirit
to those who ask him!"
1645
01:37:28,973 --> 01:37:31,846
Jesus was driving out
a demon that was mute.
1646
01:37:33,673 --> 01:37:35,066
When the demon left,
1647
01:37:35,110 --> 01:37:37,416
the man who had
been mute spoke...
1648
01:37:42,726 --> 01:37:44,467
and the crowd was amazed.
1649
01:37:48,427 --> 01:37:49,907
But some of them said,
1650
01:37:49,951 --> 01:37:52,649
"By Beelzebul,
the prince of demons,
1651
01:37:52,692 --> 01:37:55,478
he is driving out demons."
1652
01:37:55,521 --> 01:37:58,176
Others tested him
by asking for a sign
from heaven.
1653
01:38:04,269 --> 01:38:07,620
Jesus knew their thoughts
and said to them,
1654
01:38:07,664 --> 01:38:09,971
"Any kingdom divided
against itself
1655
01:38:10,014 --> 01:38:12,234
will be ruined,
1656
01:38:12,277 --> 01:38:17,456
and a house divided
against itself will fall.
1657
01:38:17,500 --> 01:38:21,199
If Satan is divided
against himself,
1658
01:38:21,243 --> 01:38:24,376
how can his kingdom stand?
1659
01:38:24,420 --> 01:38:27,423
I say this because you claim
that I drive out demons
1660
01:38:27,466 --> 01:38:29,555
by Beelzebul.
1661
01:38:29,599 --> 01:38:32,689
Now if I drive out demons
by Beelzebul,
1662
01:38:32,732 --> 01:38:35,735
by whom do your followers
drive them out?
1663
01:38:35,779 --> 01:38:38,695
So then, they will be
your judges.
1664
01:38:40,871 --> 01:38:44,614
But if I drive out demons
by the finger of God,
1665
01:38:44,657 --> 01:38:49,271
then the kingdom of God
has come upon you.
1666
01:38:49,314 --> 01:38:51,142
When a strong man,
fully armed,
1667
01:38:51,186 --> 01:38:56,408
guards his own house,
his possessions are safe.
1668
01:38:56,452 --> 01:39:00,108
But when someone stronger
attacks and overpowers him,
1669
01:39:00,151 --> 01:39:02,980
he takes away the armor
in which the man trusted
1670
01:39:03,024 --> 01:39:06,418
and divides up his plunder.
1671
01:39:06,462 --> 01:39:09,378
Whoever is not with me
is against me,
1672
01:39:09,421 --> 01:39:13,382
and whoever does not gather
with me scatters.
1673
01:39:13,425 --> 01:39:16,863
When an impure spirit
comes out of a person,
1674
01:39:16,907 --> 01:39:18,865
it goes through
arid places
1675
01:39:18,909 --> 01:39:21,564
seeking rest
and does not find it.
1676
01:39:21,607 --> 01:39:23,566
Then it says,
'I will return
1677
01:39:23,609 --> 01:39:25,655
to the house I left.'
1678
01:39:27,265 --> 01:39:30,181
When it arrives,
it finds the house
1679
01:39:30,225 --> 01:39:32,531
swept clean
and put in order.
1680
01:39:32,575 --> 01:39:34,403
Then it goes and takes
seven other spirits
1681
01:39:34,446 --> 01:39:36,100
more wicked than itself,
1682
01:39:36,144 --> 01:39:38,973
and they go in
and live there.
1683
01:39:39,016 --> 01:39:41,236
And the final condition
of that person
1684
01:39:41,279 --> 01:39:44,282
is worse than the first."
1685
01:39:44,326 --> 01:39:46,371
As Jesus was saying
these things,
1686
01:39:46,415 --> 01:39:48,504
a woman in the crowd
called out,
1687
01:39:48,547 --> 01:39:50,897
"Blessed is the mother
who gave you birth
1688
01:39:50,941 --> 01:39:53,900
and nursed you."
1689
01:39:53,944 --> 01:39:57,121
He replied,
"Blessed rather are those
1690
01:39:57,165 --> 01:40:00,516
who hear the word of God
and obey it."
1691
01:40:02,083 --> 01:40:03,736
As the crowds increased,
1692
01:40:03,780 --> 01:40:08,437
Jesus said, "This is
a wicked generation.
1693
01:40:08,480 --> 01:40:12,484
It asks for a sign,
but none will be given it
1694
01:40:12,528 --> 01:40:14,225
except the sign of Jonah.
1695
01:40:14,269 --> 01:40:17,098
For as Jonah was a sign
to the Ninevites,
1696
01:40:17,141 --> 01:40:20,710
so also will the Son of Man
be to this generation.
1697
01:40:20,753 --> 01:40:23,408
The Queen of the South
will rise at the judgment
1698
01:40:23,452 --> 01:40:25,062
with the people
of this generation
1699
01:40:25,106 --> 01:40:26,629
and condemn them,
1700
01:40:26,672 --> 01:40:28,718
for she came from the ends
of the earth
1701
01:40:28,761 --> 01:40:30,720
to listen
to Solomon's wisdom,
1702
01:40:30,763 --> 01:40:34,289
and now something greater
than Solomon is here.
1703
01:40:34,332 --> 01:40:37,031
The men of Nineveh
will stand up at the judgment
1704
01:40:37,074 --> 01:40:39,207
with this generation
and condemn it,
1705
01:40:39,250 --> 01:40:42,471
for they repented
at the preaching of Jonah,
1706
01:40:42,514 --> 01:40:46,562
and now something
greater than Jonah is here.
1707
01:40:46,605 --> 01:40:49,434
No one lights a lamp
and puts it in a place
1708
01:40:49,478 --> 01:40:52,916
where it will be hidden,
or under a bowl.
1709
01:40:52,959 --> 01:40:55,788
Instead they put it
on its stand,
1710
01:40:55,832 --> 01:40:59,096
so that those who come in
may see the light.
1711
01:40:59,140 --> 01:41:02,447
Your eye is the lamp
of your body.
1712
01:41:02,491 --> 01:41:03,970
When your eyes
are healthy,
1713
01:41:04,014 --> 01:41:07,583
your whole body
also is full of light.
1714
01:41:07,626 --> 01:41:09,585
But when they are
unhealthy,
1715
01:41:09,628 --> 01:41:13,502
your body also
is full of darkness.
1716
01:41:13,545 --> 01:41:15,417
See to it, then,
that the light within you
1717
01:41:15,460 --> 01:41:17,593
is not darkness.
1718
01:41:17,636 --> 01:41:19,247
Therefore,
if your whole body
1719
01:41:19,290 --> 01:41:22,032
is full of light,
and no part of it dark,
1720
01:41:22,076 --> 01:41:23,903
it will be just
as full of light
1721
01:41:23,947 --> 01:41:26,428
as when a lamp
shines its light on you."
1722
01:41:30,127 --> 01:41:32,129
When Jesus
had finished speaking,
1723
01:41:32,173 --> 01:41:35,219
a Pharisee invited him
to eat with him,
1724
01:41:35,263 --> 01:41:38,004
so he went in
and reclined at the table.
1725
01:41:40,050 --> 01:41:41,660
But the Pharisee
was surprised
1726
01:41:41,704 --> 01:41:43,836
when he noticed that Jesus
did not first wash
1727
01:41:43,880 --> 01:41:45,795
before the meal.
1728
01:41:47,275 --> 01:41:49,625
Then the Lord
said to him,
1729
01:41:49,668 --> 01:41:51,496
"Now then,
you Pharisees
1730
01:41:51,540 --> 01:41:54,978
clean the outside
of the cup and dish,
1731
01:41:55,021 --> 01:41:58,460
but inside you are full
of greed and wickedness.
1732
01:41:58,503 --> 01:42:00,723
You foolish people!
1733
01:42:00,766 --> 01:42:02,812
Did not the one
who made the outside
1734
01:42:02,855 --> 01:42:04,727
make the inside also?
1735
01:42:04,770 --> 01:42:08,644
But now as for what
is inside you--
1736
01:42:08,687 --> 01:42:10,602
be generous to the poor,
1737
01:42:10,646 --> 01:42:14,040
and everything
will be clean for you.
1738
01:42:14,084 --> 01:42:15,955
Woe to you Pharisees,
1739
01:42:15,999 --> 01:42:18,654
because you give God
a tenth of your mint,
1740
01:42:18,697 --> 01:42:21,874
rue and all other kinds
of garden herbs,
1741
01:42:21,918 --> 01:42:25,878
but you neglect justice
and the love of God.
1742
01:42:25,922 --> 01:42:27,837
You should have
practiced the latter
1743
01:42:27,880 --> 01:42:30,622
without leaving
the former undone.
1744
01:42:30,666 --> 01:42:33,277
Woe to you Pharisees,
1745
01:42:33,321 --> 01:42:35,061
because you love
the most important seats
1746
01:42:35,105 --> 01:42:38,064
in the synagogues
and respectful greetings
1747
01:42:38,108 --> 01:42:40,066
in the marketplaces.
1748
01:42:40,110 --> 01:42:43,157
Woe to you, because
you are like unmarked graves,
1749
01:42:43,200 --> 01:42:47,248
which people walk over
without knowing it."
1750
01:42:47,291 --> 01:42:50,164
One of the experts
in the law answered him,
1751
01:42:50,207 --> 01:42:52,296
"Teacher, when you say
these things,
1752
01:42:52,340 --> 01:42:55,299
you insult us also."
1753
01:42:55,343 --> 01:42:57,083
Jesus replied,
1754
01:42:57,127 --> 01:42:58,911
"And you experts
in the law,
1755
01:42:58,955 --> 01:43:01,958
woe to you, because
you load people down
1756
01:43:02,001 --> 01:43:04,526
with burdens
they can hardly carry,
1757
01:43:04,569 --> 01:43:10,314
and you yourselves will not
lift one finger to help them.
1758
01:43:10,358 --> 01:43:13,752
Woe to you,
because you build tombs
for the prophets,
1759
01:43:13,796 --> 01:43:18,061
and it was your ancestors
who killed them.
1760
01:43:18,104 --> 01:43:20,281
So you testify
that you approve
1761
01:43:20,324 --> 01:43:23,632
of what your ancestors did,
1762
01:43:23,675 --> 01:43:27,375
they killed the prophets,
and you build their tombs.
1763
01:43:34,251 --> 01:43:37,385
Because of this,
God in his wisdom said,
1764
01:43:37,428 --> 01:43:39,909
'I will send them
prophets and apostles,
1765
01:43:39,952 --> 01:43:41,389
some of whom
they will kill
1766
01:43:41,432 --> 01:43:43,913
and others
they will persecute.'
1767
01:43:43,956 --> 01:43:46,959
Therefore this generation
will be held responsible
1768
01:43:47,003 --> 01:43:48,787
for the blood
of all the prophets
1769
01:43:48,831 --> 01:43:51,921
that has been shed since
the beginning of the world,
1770
01:43:51,964 --> 01:43:55,316
from the blood of Abel
to the blood of Zechariah,
1771
01:43:55,359 --> 01:43:58,971
who was killed between
the altar and the sanctuary.
1772
01:43:59,015 --> 01:44:02,671
Yes, I tell you,
this generation
1773
01:44:02,714 --> 01:44:06,849
will be held responsible
for it all.
1774
01:44:06,892 --> 01:44:10,940
Woe to you experts
in the law,
1775
01:44:10,983 --> 01:44:14,117
because you have taken away
the key to knowledge.
1776
01:44:16,075 --> 01:44:18,295
You yourselves
have not entered,
1777
01:44:18,339 --> 01:44:21,951
and you have hindered
those who were entering."
1778
01:44:24,127 --> 01:44:26,869
When Jesus went outside,
the Pharisees
1779
01:44:26,912 --> 01:44:30,655
and the teachers of the law
began to oppose him fiercely
1780
01:44:30,699 --> 01:44:32,440
and to besiege him
with questions,
1781
01:44:32,483 --> 01:44:35,225
waiting to catch him
in something he might say.
1782
01:44:39,360 --> 01:44:43,277
Meanwhile, when a crowd
of many thousands
had gathered,
1783
01:44:43,320 --> 01:44:45,366
so that they were
trampling on one another,
1784
01:44:45,409 --> 01:44:49,892
Jesus began to speak first
to his disciples, saying,
1785
01:44:49,935 --> 01:44:53,156
"Be on your guard against
the yeast of the Pharisees,
1786
01:44:53,199 --> 01:44:55,027
which is hypocrisy.
1787
01:44:55,071 --> 01:44:58,117
There is nothing concealed
that will not be disclosed,
1788
01:44:58,161 --> 01:45:02,426
or hidden that will not
be made known.
1789
01:45:02,470 --> 01:45:04,210
What you have said
in the dark
1790
01:45:04,254 --> 01:45:07,170
will be heard
in the daylight,
1791
01:45:07,213 --> 01:45:08,954
and what you have
whispered in the ear
1792
01:45:08,998 --> 01:45:11,653
in the inner rooms
1793
01:45:11,696 --> 01:45:15,178
will be proclaimed
from the roofs.
1794
01:45:15,221 --> 01:45:18,964
I tell you, my friends,
do not be afraid of those
1795
01:45:19,008 --> 01:45:20,226
who kill the body
1796
01:45:20,270 --> 01:45:22,446
and after that
can do no more.
1797
01:45:22,490 --> 01:45:25,275
I will show you who
you should fear.
1798
01:45:27,799 --> 01:45:29,148
Fear him who,
1799
01:45:29,192 --> 01:45:31,063
after your body
has been killed,
1800
01:45:31,107 --> 01:45:35,416
has authority
to throw you into hell.
1801
01:45:35,459 --> 01:45:38,070
Yes, I tell you,
fear him.
1802
01:45:40,595 --> 01:45:44,599
Are not five sparrows
sold for two pennies?
1803
01:45:44,642 --> 01:45:47,602
Yet not one of them
is forgotten by God.
1804
01:45:47,645 --> 01:45:49,821
Indeed, the very hairs
of your head
1805
01:45:49,865 --> 01:45:52,389
are all numbered.
1806
01:45:52,433 --> 01:45:55,305
Don't be afraid,
you are worth more
1807
01:45:55,349 --> 01:45:57,525
than many sparrows.
1808
01:45:57,568 --> 01:46:01,616
I tell you, whoever
publicly acknowledges me
before others,
1809
01:46:01,659 --> 01:46:05,271
the Son of Man
will also acknowledge
before the angels of God.
1810
01:46:05,315 --> 01:46:08,144
But whoever disowns me
before others
1811
01:46:08,187 --> 01:46:11,452
will be disowned
before the angels of God.
1812
01:46:11,495 --> 01:46:13,062
And everyone
who speaks a word
1813
01:46:13,105 --> 01:46:16,935
against the Son of Man
will be forgiven,
1814
01:46:16,979 --> 01:46:20,069
but anyone who blasphemes
against the Holy Spirit
1815
01:46:20,112 --> 01:46:23,768
will not be forgiven.
1816
01:46:23,812 --> 01:46:25,857
When you are brought
before synagogues,
1817
01:46:25,901 --> 01:46:27,598
rulers and authorities,
1818
01:46:27,642 --> 01:46:29,948
do not worry about how
you will defend yourselves
1819
01:46:29,992 --> 01:46:31,689
or what you will say,
1820
01:46:31,733 --> 01:46:34,300
for the Holy Spirit
will teach you at that time
1821
01:46:34,344 --> 01:46:37,173
what you should say."
1822
01:46:37,216 --> 01:46:39,480
Someone in the crowd
said to him,
1823
01:46:39,523 --> 01:46:41,438
"Teacher, tell my brother
1824
01:46:41,482 --> 01:46:44,615
to divide
the inheritance with me."
1825
01:46:44,659 --> 01:46:49,533
Jesus replied,
"Man, who appointed me
1826
01:46:49,577 --> 01:46:54,233
a judge or an arbiter
between you?"
1827
01:46:54,277 --> 01:46:57,454
Then he said to them,
"Watch out!
1828
01:46:57,498 --> 01:47:01,066
Be on your guard
against all kinds of greed,
1829
01:47:01,110 --> 01:47:03,504
life does not consist
in an abundance
1830
01:47:03,547 --> 01:47:05,723
of possessions."
1831
01:47:05,767 --> 01:47:08,378
And he told them
this parable,
1832
01:47:08,422 --> 01:47:10,206
"The ground
of a certain rich man
1833
01:47:10,249 --> 01:47:13,078
yielded
an abundant harvest.
1834
01:47:13,122 --> 01:47:15,559
He thought to himself,
'What shall I do?
1835
01:47:15,603 --> 01:47:18,693
I have no place
to store my crops.'
1836
01:47:18,736 --> 01:47:22,653
Then he said,
'This is what I'll do.
1837
01:47:22,697 --> 01:47:26,048
I will tear down my barns
and build bigger ones,
1838
01:47:26,091 --> 01:47:28,920
and there I will store
my surplus grain.
1839
01:47:28,964 --> 01:47:31,488
And I'll say to myself,
"You have plenty of grain
1840
01:47:31,532 --> 01:47:33,316
laid up for many years.
1841
01:47:33,359 --> 01:47:37,407
Take life easy, eat,
drink and be merry."'
1842
01:47:40,192 --> 01:47:44,153
But God said to him,
'You fool!
1843
01:47:44,196 --> 01:47:47,112
This very night your life
will be demanded from you.
1844
01:47:51,856 --> 01:47:56,644
Then who will get
what you have prepared
for yourself?'
1845
01:47:56,687 --> 01:47:59,342
This is how it will be
with whoever stores up
1846
01:47:59,385 --> 01:48:02,867
things for themselves
but is not rich toward God."
1847
01:48:05,653 --> 01:48:08,525
Then Jesus said
to his disciples,
1848
01:48:08,569 --> 01:48:11,310
"Therefore I tell you,
do not worry about your life,
1849
01:48:11,354 --> 01:48:12,877
what you will eat,
1850
01:48:12,921 --> 01:48:15,314
or about your body,
what you will wear.
1851
01:48:15,358 --> 01:48:17,795
For life is more than food,
1852
01:48:17,839 --> 01:48:21,277
and the body
more than clothes.
1853
01:48:21,320 --> 01:48:23,192
Consider the ravens.
1854
01:48:23,235 --> 01:48:26,195
They do not sow or reap,
1855
01:48:26,238 --> 01:48:28,980
they have no
storeroom or barn,
1856
01:48:29,024 --> 01:48:30,721
yet God feeds them.
1857
01:48:30,765 --> 01:48:34,595
And how much more valuable
you are than birds!
1858
01:48:34,638 --> 01:48:38,337
Who of you by worrying
can add a single hour
1859
01:48:38,381 --> 01:48:40,296
to your life?
1860
01:48:40,339 --> 01:48:42,994
Since you cannot do
this very little thing,
1861
01:48:43,038 --> 01:48:45,954
why do you worry
about the rest?
1862
01:48:45,997 --> 01:48:48,957
Consider how
the wild flowers grow.
1863
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:51,742
They do not labor or spin.
1864
01:48:51,786 --> 01:48:55,616
Yet I tell you, not even
Solomon in all his splendor
1865
01:48:55,659 --> 01:48:58,575
was dressed
like one of these.
1866
01:48:58,619 --> 01:49:01,578
If that is how God clothes
the grass of the field,
1867
01:49:01,622 --> 01:49:03,058
which is here today,
1868
01:49:03,101 --> 01:49:05,408
and tomorrow is thrown
into the fire,
1869
01:49:05,451 --> 01:49:09,020
how much more
will he clothe you--
1870
01:49:09,064 --> 01:49:11,588
you of little faith!
1871
01:49:11,632 --> 01:49:13,372
And do not
set your heart
1872
01:49:13,416 --> 01:49:15,810
on what you will
eat or drink,
1873
01:49:15,853 --> 01:49:17,725
do not worry about it.
1874
01:49:17,768 --> 01:49:21,293
For the pagan world runs
after all such things,
1875
01:49:21,337 --> 01:49:24,470
and your Father knows
that you need them.
1876
01:49:24,514 --> 01:49:27,691
But seek his kingdom,
and these things
1877
01:49:27,735 --> 01:49:29,998
will be given
to you as well.
1878
01:49:32,653 --> 01:49:35,177
Do not be afraid,
little flock,
1879
01:49:35,220 --> 01:49:36,874
for your Father
has been pleased
1880
01:49:36,918 --> 01:49:39,007
to give you the kingdom.
1881
01:49:39,050 --> 01:49:42,271
Sell your possessions
and give to the poor.
1882
01:49:42,314 --> 01:49:44,229
Provide purses
for yourselves
1883
01:49:44,273 --> 01:49:45,927
that will not wear out,
1884
01:49:45,970 --> 01:49:48,756
a treasure in heaven
that will never fail,
1885
01:49:48,799 --> 01:49:53,630
where no thief comes near
and no moth destroys.
1886
01:49:53,674 --> 01:49:55,414
For where
your treasure is,
1887
01:49:55,458 --> 01:49:57,547
there your heart
will be also.
1888
01:49:59,593 --> 01:50:02,596
Be dressed
ready for service
1889
01:50:02,639 --> 01:50:04,467
and keep your lamps
burning,
1890
01:50:04,510 --> 01:50:07,209
like servants waiting
for their master to return
1891
01:50:07,252 --> 01:50:09,428
from a wedding banquet,
1892
01:50:09,472 --> 01:50:11,256
so that when he comes
and knocks
1893
01:50:11,300 --> 01:50:14,129
they can immediately
open the door for him.
1894
01:50:14,172 --> 01:50:16,218
It will be good
for those servants
1895
01:50:16,261 --> 01:50:19,177
whose master finds them
watching when he comes.
1896
01:50:19,221 --> 01:50:23,312
Truly I tell you,
he will dress himself
to serve,
1897
01:50:23,355 --> 01:50:25,227
will have them recline
at the table
1898
01:50:25,270 --> 01:50:28,534
and will come
and wait on them.
1899
01:50:28,578 --> 01:50:30,275
It will be good
for those servants
1900
01:50:30,319 --> 01:50:32,103
whose master
finds them ready,
1901
01:50:32,147 --> 01:50:33,975
even if he comes
in the middle of the night
1902
01:50:34,018 --> 01:50:37,456
or toward daybreak.
1903
01:50:37,500 --> 01:50:41,504
But understand this,
if the owner of the house
1904
01:50:41,547 --> 01:50:44,028
had known at what hour
the thief was coming,
1905
01:50:44,072 --> 01:50:46,857
he would not have let
his house be broken into.
1906
01:50:46,901 --> 01:50:50,600
You also must be ready,
because the Son of Man
1907
01:50:50,644 --> 01:50:53,472
will come at an hour
when you do not expect him."
1908
01:51:00,436 --> 01:51:04,092
Peter asked,
"Lord, are you telling
this parable to us,
1909
01:51:04,135 --> 01:51:05,876
or to everyone?"
1910
01:51:05,920 --> 01:51:07,617
The Lord answered,
1911
01:51:07,661 --> 01:51:10,576
"Who then is the faithful
and wise manager,
1912
01:51:10,620 --> 01:51:13,101
whom the master puts
in charge of his servants
1913
01:51:13,144 --> 01:51:14,406
to give them
their food allowance
1914
01:51:14,450 --> 01:51:16,191
at the proper time?
1915
01:51:16,234 --> 01:51:17,932
It will be good
for that servant
1916
01:51:17,975 --> 01:51:21,283
whom the master finds
doing so when he returns.
1917
01:51:21,326 --> 01:51:22,980
Truly I tell you,
1918
01:51:23,024 --> 01:51:25,635
he will put him in charge
of all his possessions.
1919
01:51:25,679 --> 01:51:28,072
But suppose the servant
says to himself,
1920
01:51:28,116 --> 01:51:31,510
'My master is taking
a long time in coming,'
1921
01:51:31,554 --> 01:51:33,730
and he then begins to beat
the other servants,
1922
01:51:33,774 --> 01:51:35,253
both men and women,
1923
01:51:35,297 --> 01:51:38,517
and to eat and drink
and get drunk.
1924
01:51:38,561 --> 01:51:40,955
The master of that servant
will come on a day
1925
01:51:40,998 --> 01:51:43,044
when he does
not expect him...
1926
01:51:45,437 --> 01:51:48,049
and at an hour
he is not aware of.
1927
01:51:48,092 --> 01:51:49,746
He will cut him
to pieces
1928
01:51:49,790 --> 01:51:54,490
and assign him a place
with the unbelievers.
1929
01:51:54,533 --> 01:51:56,361
The servant who knows
the master's will
1930
01:51:56,405 --> 01:51:57,841
and does not get ready
1931
01:51:57,885 --> 01:52:00,104
or does not do
what the master wants
1932
01:52:00,148 --> 01:52:03,978
will be beaten
with many blows.
1933
01:52:04,021 --> 01:52:05,588
But the one who
does not know
1934
01:52:05,631 --> 01:52:07,503
and does things
deserving punishment
1935
01:52:07,546 --> 01:52:10,158
will be beaten
with few blows.
1936
01:52:10,201 --> 01:52:12,551
From everyone
who has been given much,
1937
01:52:12,595 --> 01:52:14,684
much will be demanded,
1938
01:52:14,728 --> 01:52:17,643
and from the one who has been
entrusted with much,
1939
01:52:17,687 --> 01:52:19,863
much more will be asked.
1940
01:52:23,040 --> 01:52:25,913
I have come to bring
fire on the earth,
1941
01:52:25,956 --> 01:52:28,437
and how I wish
it were already kindled!
1942
01:52:30,004 --> 01:52:33,877
But I have a baptism
to undergo,
1943
01:52:33,921 --> 01:52:35,879
and what constraint
I am under
1944
01:52:35,923 --> 01:52:38,534
until it is completed!
1945
01:52:38,577 --> 01:52:41,493
Do you think I came
to bring peace on earth?
1946
01:52:41,537 --> 01:52:44,714
No, I tell you,
but division.
1947
01:52:44,758 --> 01:52:47,151
From now on there will be
five in one family
1948
01:52:47,195 --> 01:52:48,849
divided against each other,
1949
01:52:48,892 --> 01:52:52,026
three against two
and two against three.
1950
01:52:52,069 --> 01:52:54,245
They will be divided,
father against son
1951
01:52:54,289 --> 01:52:55,986
and son against father,
1952
01:52:56,030 --> 01:52:59,033
mother against daughter
and daughter against mother,
1953
01:52:59,076 --> 01:53:01,383
mother-in-law
against daughter-in-law
1954
01:53:01,426 --> 01:53:04,908
and daughter-in-law
against mother-in-law."
1955
01:53:04,952 --> 01:53:07,868
He said to the crowd,
"When you see a cloud
1956
01:53:07,911 --> 01:53:10,653
rising in the west,
immediately you say,
1957
01:53:10,696 --> 01:53:14,613
'It's going to rain,'
and it does.
1958
01:53:14,657 --> 01:53:16,833
And when the south wind
blows, you say,
1959
01:53:16,877 --> 01:53:19,444
'It's going to be hot,'
and it is.
1960
01:53:21,142 --> 01:53:22,839
Hypocrites!
1961
01:53:22,883 --> 01:53:24,493
You know how to interpret
the appearance
1962
01:53:24,536 --> 01:53:27,322
of the earth and the sky.
1963
01:53:27,365 --> 01:53:29,672
How is it that you don't know
how to interpret
1964
01:53:29,715 --> 01:53:31,717
this present time?
1965
01:53:31,761 --> 01:53:33,458
Why don't you judge
for yourselves
1966
01:53:33,502 --> 01:53:34,895
what is right?
1967
01:53:36,940 --> 01:53:38,594
As you are going
with your adversary
1968
01:53:38,637 --> 01:53:40,204
to the magistrate,
1969
01:53:40,248 --> 01:53:43,991
try hard to be
reconciled on the way,
1970
01:53:44,034 --> 01:53:47,211
or your adversary may
drag you off to the judge,
1971
01:53:47,255 --> 01:53:49,605
and the judge turn you over
to the officer,
1972
01:53:49,648 --> 01:53:52,913
and the officer throw you
into prison.
1973
01:53:52,956 --> 01:53:55,872
I tell you,
you will not get out
1974
01:53:55,916 --> 01:53:58,527
until you have paid
the last penny."
1975
01:54:01,747 --> 01:54:04,141
Now there were some
present at that time
1976
01:54:04,185 --> 01:54:06,100
who told Jesus
about the Galileans
1977
01:54:06,143 --> 01:54:09,886
whose blood Pilate had mixed
with their sacrifices.
1978
01:54:09,930 --> 01:54:13,890
Jesus answered, "Do you
think that these Galileans
1979
01:54:13,934 --> 01:54:16,458
were worse sinners
than all the other Galileans
1980
01:54:16,501 --> 01:54:18,329
because they suffered
this way?
1981
01:54:18,373 --> 01:54:20,331
I tell you, no!
1982
01:54:20,375 --> 01:54:23,508
But unless you repent,
you too will all perish.
1983
01:54:23,552 --> 01:54:25,641
Or those eighteen
who died
1984
01:54:25,684 --> 01:54:28,557
when the tower
in Siloam fell on them--
1985
01:54:28,600 --> 01:54:31,865
do you think they were more
guilty than all the others
1986
01:54:31,908 --> 01:54:34,302
living in Jerusalem?
1987
01:54:34,345 --> 01:54:36,608
I tell you, no!
1988
01:54:36,652 --> 01:54:40,656
But unless you repent,
you too will all perish."
1989
01:54:44,007 --> 01:54:46,227
Then he told this parable,
1990
01:54:46,270 --> 01:54:49,883
"A man had a fig tree
growing in his vineyard,
1991
01:54:49,926 --> 01:54:51,275
and he went to look
for fruit on it
1992
01:54:51,319 --> 01:54:53,321
but did not find any.
1993
01:54:53,364 --> 01:54:56,541
So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard,
1994
01:54:56,585 --> 01:54:58,892
'For three years now
I've been coming to look
1995
01:54:58,935 --> 01:55:02,025
for fruit on this fig tree
and haven't found any.
1996
01:55:02,069 --> 01:55:03,766
Cut it down!
1997
01:55:03,809 --> 01:55:06,464
Why should it
use up the soil?'
1998
01:55:06,508 --> 01:55:09,946
'Sir,' the man replied,
'leave it alone
1999
01:55:09,990 --> 01:55:11,687
for one more year,
2000
01:55:11,730 --> 01:55:14,168
and I'll dig around it
and fertilize it.
2001
01:55:14,211 --> 01:55:17,127
If it bears fruit
next year, fine!
2002
01:55:17,171 --> 01:55:19,695
If not,
then cut it down.'"
2003
01:55:28,225 --> 01:55:30,749
[ speaking in Aramaic ]
2004
01:55:39,454 --> 01:55:41,586
On a Sabbath,
Jesus was teaching
2005
01:55:41,630 --> 01:55:44,502
in one of the synagogues,
2006
01:55:44,546 --> 01:55:46,417
and a woman was there
who had been crippled
2007
01:55:46,461 --> 01:55:48,898
by a spirit
for eighteen years.
2008
01:55:52,728 --> 01:55:54,295
She was bent over
2009
01:55:54,338 --> 01:55:56,166
and could not
straighten up at all.
2010
01:55:59,082 --> 01:56:01,693
When Jesus saw her,
he called her forward
2011
01:56:01,737 --> 01:56:03,521
and said to her,
2012
01:56:03,565 --> 01:56:06,960
"Woman, you are set free
from your infirmity."
2013
01:56:13,053 --> 01:56:16,012
Then he put
his hands on her,
2014
01:56:16,056 --> 01:56:19,015
and immediately
she straightened up...
2015
01:56:24,238 --> 01:56:27,371
and praised God.
2016
01:56:27,415 --> 01:56:30,766
Indignant because Jesus
had healed on the Sabbath,
2017
01:56:30,809 --> 01:56:33,421
the synagogue leader
said to the people,
2018
01:56:33,464 --> 01:56:35,684
"There are six days
for work.
2019
01:56:35,727 --> 01:56:38,382
So come and be healed
on those days,
2020
01:56:38,426 --> 01:56:40,210
not on the Sabbath."
2021
01:56:40,254 --> 01:56:43,344
The Lord answered him,
"You hypocrites!
2022
01:56:46,434 --> 01:56:48,001
Doesn't each of you
on the Sabbath
2023
01:56:48,044 --> 01:56:50,873
untie your ox or donkey
from the stall
2024
01:56:50,916 --> 01:56:54,311
and lead it out
to give it water?
2025
01:56:54,355 --> 01:56:57,401
Then should not this woman,
a daughter of Abraham,
2026
01:56:57,445 --> 01:57:01,536
whom Satan has kept bound
for 18 long years,
2027
01:57:01,579 --> 01:57:03,451
be set free
on the Sabbath day
2028
01:57:03,494 --> 01:57:06,584
from what bound her?"
2029
01:57:06,628 --> 01:57:09,674
When he said this,
all his opponents
2030
01:57:09,718 --> 01:57:12,547
were humiliated,
2031
01:57:12,590 --> 01:57:14,070
but the people
were delighted
2032
01:57:14,114 --> 01:57:17,682
with all the wonderful
things he was doing.
2033
01:57:17,726 --> 01:57:21,251
Then Jesus asked,
"What is the kingdom
of God like?
2034
01:57:21,295 --> 01:57:24,863
What shall I compare it to?
2035
01:57:24,907 --> 01:57:26,865
It is like a mustard seed,
2036
01:57:26,909 --> 01:57:31,348
which a man took
and planted in his garden.
2037
01:57:31,392 --> 01:57:34,003
It grew and became a tree,
2038
01:57:34,047 --> 01:57:36,745
and the birds perched
in its branches."
2039
01:57:39,269 --> 01:57:41,315
Again he asked,
"What shall I compare
2040
01:57:41,358 --> 01:57:44,187
the kingdom of God to?
2041
01:57:44,231 --> 01:57:46,972
It is like yeast
that a woman took
2042
01:57:47,016 --> 01:57:51,194
and mixed into about
sixty pounds of flour
2043
01:57:51,238 --> 01:57:53,979
until it worked
all through the dough."
2044
01:58:03,424 --> 01:58:06,296
Then Jesus went through
the towns and villages,
2045
01:58:06,340 --> 01:58:08,777
teaching
as he made his way
to Jerusalem.
2046
01:58:12,433 --> 01:58:18,091
Someone asked him,
"Lord, are only a few people
going to be saved?"
2047
01:58:18,134 --> 01:58:21,137
He said to them,
"Make every effort
2048
01:58:21,181 --> 01:58:23,487
to enter through
the narrow door,
2049
01:58:23,531 --> 01:58:26,795
because many, I tell you,
will try to enter
2050
01:58:26,838 --> 01:58:28,710
and will not be able to.
2051
01:58:28,753 --> 01:58:31,974
Once the owner of the house
gets up and closes the door,
2052
01:58:32,017 --> 01:58:34,324
you will stand outside
knocking and pleading,
2053
01:58:34,368 --> 01:58:37,762
'Sir, open
the door for us.'
2054
01:58:37,806 --> 01:58:39,764
But he will answer,
2055
01:58:39,808 --> 01:58:42,811
'I don't know you
or where you come from.'
2056
01:58:42,854 --> 01:58:46,031
Then you will say,
'We ate and drank with you,
2057
01:58:46,075 --> 01:58:49,122
and you taught
in our streets.'
2058
01:58:49,165 --> 01:58:53,038
But he will reply,
'I don't know you
2059
01:58:53,082 --> 01:58:55,476
or where you come from.
2060
01:58:55,519 --> 01:58:59,349
Away from me,
all you evildoers!'
2061
01:58:59,393 --> 01:59:02,874
There will be weeping there,
and gnashing of teeth,
2062
01:59:02,918 --> 01:59:05,225
when you see Abraham,
Isaac and Jacob
2063
01:59:05,268 --> 01:59:08,097
and all the prophets
in the kingdom of God,
2064
01:59:08,141 --> 01:59:10,665
but you yourselves
thrown out.
2065
01:59:10,708 --> 01:59:12,057
People will come
from east and west
2066
01:59:12,101 --> 01:59:13,798
and north and south,
2067
01:59:13,842 --> 01:59:15,713
and will take their places
at the feast
2068
01:59:15,757 --> 01:59:17,672
in the kingdom of God.
2069
01:59:17,715 --> 01:59:19,978
Indeed there are those
who are last
2070
01:59:20,022 --> 01:59:21,676
who will be first,
2071
01:59:21,719 --> 01:59:24,157
and first
who will be last."
2072
01:59:34,950 --> 01:59:37,126
At that time,
some Pharisees
2073
01:59:37,170 --> 01:59:40,390
came to Jesus
and said to him,
2074
01:59:40,434 --> 01:59:42,871
"Leave this place
and go somewhere else.
2075
01:59:42,914 --> 01:59:44,916
Herod wants to kill you."
2076
01:59:44,960 --> 01:59:48,746
He replied,
"Go tell that fox
2077
01:59:48,790 --> 01:59:50,618
I will keep on
driving out demons
2078
01:59:50,661 --> 01:59:53,316
and healing people
today and tomorrow,
2079
01:59:53,360 --> 01:59:56,189
and on the third day,
I will reach my goal.
2080
01:59:58,930 --> 02:00:00,584
In any case,
I must press on
2081
02:00:00,628 --> 02:00:02,804
today and tomorrow
and the next day,
2082
02:00:02,847 --> 02:00:06,634
for surely no prophet
can die outside Jerusalem.
2083
02:00:10,377 --> 02:00:14,729
Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
you who kill the prophets
2084
02:00:14,772 --> 02:00:17,862
and stone
those sent to you,
2085
02:00:17,906 --> 02:00:19,212
how often I have longed
2086
02:00:19,255 --> 02:00:21,039
to gather your
children together,
2087
02:00:21,083 --> 02:00:24,478
as a hen gathers her chicks
under her wings,
2088
02:00:24,521 --> 02:00:26,610
and you are not willing.
2089
02:00:26,654 --> 02:00:29,961
Look, your house
is left to you desolate.
2090
02:00:30,005 --> 02:00:33,617
I tell you, you will not
see me again until you say,
2091
02:00:33,661 --> 02:00:37,665
'Blessed is he
who comes in the name
of the Lord.'"
2092
02:00:47,936 --> 02:00:51,331
One Sabbath, when Jesus
went to eat in the house
2093
02:00:51,374 --> 02:00:52,723
of a prominent Pharisee,
2094
02:00:52,767 --> 02:00:55,291
he was being
carefully watched.
2095
02:00:55,335 --> 02:00:58,120
There in front of him
was a man suffering
2096
02:00:58,163 --> 02:01:01,819
from abnormal swelling
of his body.
2097
02:01:01,863 --> 02:01:05,823
Jesus asked the Pharisees
and experts in the law,
2098
02:01:05,867 --> 02:01:10,263
"Is it lawful to heal
on the Sabbath or not?"
2099
02:01:10,306 --> 02:01:12,743
But they remained silent.
2100
02:01:12,787 --> 02:01:15,485
So taking hold
of the man,
2101
02:01:15,529 --> 02:01:18,401
he healed him
and sent him on his way.
2102
02:01:22,318 --> 02:01:24,799
Then he asked them,
2103
02:01:24,842 --> 02:01:27,845
"If one of you has
a child or an ox
2104
02:01:27,889 --> 02:01:32,110
that falls into a well
on the Sabbath day,
2105
02:01:32,154 --> 02:01:35,200
will you not immediately
pull it out?"
2106
02:01:35,244 --> 02:01:38,508
And they had
nothing to say.
2107
02:01:38,552 --> 02:01:40,554
When he noticed
how the guests
2108
02:01:40,597 --> 02:01:42,947
picked the places of honor
at the table,
2109
02:01:42,991 --> 02:01:45,820
he told them this parable,
2110
02:01:45,863 --> 02:01:49,084
"When someone invites you
to a wedding feast,
2111
02:01:49,127 --> 02:01:51,434
do not take
the place of honor,
2112
02:01:51,478 --> 02:01:53,654
for a person
more distinguished than you
2113
02:01:53,697 --> 02:01:55,090
may have been invited.
2114
02:01:55,133 --> 02:01:57,788
If so, the host
who invited both of you
2115
02:01:57,832 --> 02:02:01,226
will come and say to you,
'Give this person your seat.'
2116
02:02:01,270 --> 02:02:03,707
Then, humiliated,
you will have to take
2117
02:02:03,751 --> 02:02:06,667
the least important place.
2118
02:02:06,710 --> 02:02:10,366
But when you are invited,
take the lowest place,
2119
02:02:10,410 --> 02:02:12,542
so that when
your host comes,
2120
02:02:12,586 --> 02:02:16,851
he will say to you, 'Friend,
move up to a better place.'
2121
02:02:16,894 --> 02:02:21,682
Then you will be honored
in the presence of all
the other guests.
2122
02:02:21,725 --> 02:02:25,381
For all those
who exalt themselves
will be humbled,
2123
02:02:25,425 --> 02:02:29,603
and those who humble
themselves will be exalted."
2124
02:02:29,646 --> 02:02:32,780
Then Jesus
said to his host,
2125
02:02:32,823 --> 02:02:34,956
"When you give
a luncheon or dinner,
2126
02:02:34,999 --> 02:02:37,872
do not invite your friends,
your brothers or sisters,
2127
02:02:37,915 --> 02:02:40,004
your relatives,
or your rich neighbors,
2128
02:02:40,048 --> 02:02:42,398
if you do,
they may invite you back
2129
02:02:42,442 --> 02:02:44,792
and so you will be repaid.
2130
02:02:46,576 --> 02:02:48,839
But when you give
a banquet,
2131
02:02:48,883 --> 02:02:51,755
invite the poor,
2132
02:02:51,799 --> 02:02:52,800
the crippled,
2133
02:02:52,843 --> 02:02:54,541
the lame,
2134
02:02:54,584 --> 02:02:58,675
the blind,
and you will be blessed.
2135
02:02:58,719 --> 02:03:01,374
Although they cannot
repay you,
2136
02:03:01,417 --> 02:03:04,159
you will be repaid
at the resurrection
2137
02:03:04,202 --> 02:03:07,075
of the righteous."
2138
02:03:07,118 --> 02:03:09,599
When one of those
at the table with him
heard this,
2139
02:03:09,643 --> 02:03:12,689
he said to Jesus,
"Blessed is the one
2140
02:03:12,733 --> 02:03:17,085
who will eat at the feast
in the kingdom of God."
2141
02:03:17,128 --> 02:03:20,523
Jesus replied,
"A certain man
2142
02:03:20,567 --> 02:03:22,656
was preparing
a great banquet
2143
02:03:22,699 --> 02:03:24,875
and invited many guests.
2144
02:03:27,182 --> 02:03:29,402
At the time of the banquet
he sent his servant
2145
02:03:29,445 --> 02:03:31,491
to tell those
who had been invited,
2146
02:03:31,534 --> 02:03:35,146
'Come, for everything
is now ready.'
2147
02:03:35,190 --> 02:03:39,673
But they all alike
began to make excuses.
2148
02:03:39,716 --> 02:03:43,633
The first said,
'I have just bought a field,
2149
02:03:43,677 --> 02:03:45,461
and I must go and see it.
2150
02:03:45,505 --> 02:03:47,507
Please excuse me.'
2151
02:03:47,550 --> 02:03:49,726
"Another said,
'I have just bought
2152
02:03:49,770 --> 02:03:51,336
five yoke of oxen,
2153
02:03:51,380 --> 02:03:53,077
and I'm on my way
to try them out.
2154
02:03:53,121 --> 02:03:54,862
Please excuse me.'
2155
02:03:54,905 --> 02:03:57,821
Still another said,
'I just got married,
2156
02:03:57,865 --> 02:03:59,432
so I can't come.'
2157
02:04:01,303 --> 02:04:03,871
The servant came back
and reported this
2158
02:04:03,914 --> 02:04:05,525
to his master.
2159
02:04:05,568 --> 02:04:08,136
Then the owner
of the house became angry
2160
02:04:08,179 --> 02:04:10,834
and ordered his servant,
'Go out quickly
2161
02:04:10,878 --> 02:04:13,010
into the streets
and alleys of the town
2162
02:04:13,054 --> 02:04:14,708
and bring in the poor,
the crippled,
2163
02:04:14,751 --> 02:04:16,884
the blind and the lame.'
2164
02:04:18,973 --> 02:04:21,366
'Sir,' the servant said,
2165
02:04:21,410 --> 02:04:23,281
'what you ordered
has been done,
2166
02:04:23,325 --> 02:04:24,848
but there is still room.'
2167
02:04:24,892 --> 02:04:26,894
Then the master
told his servant,
2168
02:04:26,937 --> 02:04:29,331
'Go out to the roads
and country lanes
2169
02:04:29,374 --> 02:04:31,115
and compel them
to come in,
2170
02:04:31,159 --> 02:04:33,509
so that my house
will be full.
2171
02:04:33,553 --> 02:04:36,904
I tell you, not one
of those who were invited
2172
02:04:36,947 --> 02:04:39,210
will get a taste
of my banquet.'"
2173
02:04:43,867 --> 02:04:45,695
[ chattering ]
2174
02:04:51,005 --> 02:04:53,529
Large crowds
were traveling with Jesus,
2175
02:04:53,573 --> 02:04:55,749
and turning
to them he said,
2176
02:04:55,792 --> 02:04:57,402
"If anyone comes to me
2177
02:04:57,446 --> 02:04:59,535
and does not hate
father and mother,
2178
02:04:59,579 --> 02:05:03,104
wife and children,
brothers and sisters--
2179
02:05:03,147 --> 02:05:05,585
yes, even their own life--
2180
02:05:05,628 --> 02:05:09,676
such a person cannot
be my disciple.
2181
02:05:09,719 --> 02:05:11,765
And whoever does not
carry their cross
2182
02:05:11,808 --> 02:05:14,637
and follow me
cannot be my disciple.
2183
02:05:19,642 --> 02:05:21,862
Suppose one of you
wants to build a tower.
2184
02:05:21,905 --> 02:05:24,691
Won't you first sit down
and estimate the cost
2185
02:05:24,734 --> 02:05:27,520
to see if you have enough
money to complete it?
2186
02:05:27,563 --> 02:05:28,956
For if you lay
the foundation
2187
02:05:28,999 --> 02:05:30,958
and are not able
to finish it,
2188
02:05:31,001 --> 02:05:33,743
everyone who sees it
will ridicule you,
2189
02:05:33,787 --> 02:05:36,572
saying, 'This person
began to build
2190
02:05:36,616 --> 02:05:38,792
and wasn't able
to finish.'
2191
02:05:41,403 --> 02:05:43,187
Or suppose a king
is about to go to war
2192
02:05:43,231 --> 02:05:44,667
against another king.
2193
02:05:44,711 --> 02:05:46,582
Won't he first sit down
and consider
2194
02:05:46,626 --> 02:05:48,845
whether he is able
with ten thousand men
2195
02:05:48,889 --> 02:05:50,804
to oppose the one
coming against him
2196
02:05:50,847 --> 02:05:53,546
with twenty thousand?
2197
02:05:53,589 --> 02:05:56,505
If he is not able,
he will send a delegation
2198
02:05:56,549 --> 02:05:58,551
while the other
is still a long way off
2199
02:05:58,594 --> 02:06:02,555
and will ask
for terms of peace.
2200
02:06:02,598 --> 02:06:05,340
In the same way,
those of you who do not
2201
02:06:05,383 --> 02:06:08,865
give up everything you have
cannot be my disciples.
2202
02:06:12,956 --> 02:06:14,741
Salt is good,
2203
02:06:14,784 --> 02:06:17,178
but if it loses
its saltiness,
2204
02:06:17,221 --> 02:06:21,008
how can it be made
salty again?
2205
02:06:21,051 --> 02:06:23,184
It is neither fit
for the soil
2206
02:06:23,227 --> 02:06:27,318
nor for the manure pile,
it is thrown out.
2207
02:06:27,362 --> 02:06:30,887
Whoever has ears to hear,
let them hear."
2208
02:06:35,413 --> 02:06:37,459
Now the tax collectors
and sinners
2209
02:06:37,502 --> 02:06:40,157
were all gathering around
to hear Jesus.
2210
02:06:40,201 --> 02:06:42,203
But the Pharisees
and the teachers of the law
2211
02:06:42,246 --> 02:06:46,076
muttered, "This man welcomes
sinners and eats with them."
2212
02:06:49,253 --> 02:06:53,997
Then Jesus told them
this parable,
2213
02:06:54,041 --> 02:06:56,478
"Suppose one of you
has 100 sheep
2214
02:06:56,521 --> 02:07:00,264
and loses one of them.
2215
02:07:00,308 --> 02:07:03,311
Doesn't he leave
the 99 in the open country
2216
02:07:03,354 --> 02:07:05,618
and go after the lost sheep
until he finds it?
2217
02:07:10,057 --> 02:07:13,277
And when he finds it,
2218
02:07:13,321 --> 02:07:14,888
he joyfully puts it
on his shoulders
2219
02:07:14,931 --> 02:07:16,411
and goes home.
2220
02:07:21,721 --> 02:07:23,940
Then he calls his friends
and neighbors together
2221
02:07:23,984 --> 02:07:27,640
and says, 'Rejoice with me,
I have found my lost sheep.'
2222
02:07:30,338 --> 02:07:32,601
I tell you
that in the same way
2223
02:07:32,645 --> 02:07:35,125
there will be more rejoicing
in heaven over one sinner
2224
02:07:35,169 --> 02:07:39,260
who repents than over 99
righteous persons
2225
02:07:39,303 --> 02:07:40,827
who do not need
to repent.
2226
02:07:46,006 --> 02:07:49,313
Or suppose a woman has 10
silver coins and loses one.
2227
02:07:53,709 --> 02:07:57,321
Doesn't she light a lamp,
2228
02:07:57,365 --> 02:07:59,410
sweep the house
and search carefully
2229
02:07:59,454 --> 02:08:01,761
until she finds it?
2230
02:08:01,804 --> 02:08:04,459
And when she finds it,
she calls her friends
2231
02:08:04,502 --> 02:08:07,810
and neighbors together
and says, 'Rejoice with me,
2232
02:08:07,854 --> 02:08:11,335
I have found my lost coin.'
2233
02:08:11,379 --> 02:08:14,687
In the same way, I tell you,
there is rejoicing
2234
02:08:14,730 --> 02:08:16,645
in the presence
of the angels of God
2235
02:08:16,689 --> 02:08:18,125
over one sinner
who repents."
2236
02:08:23,086 --> 02:08:24,609
Jesus continued,
2237
02:08:24,653 --> 02:08:27,787
"There was a man
who had two sons.
2238
02:08:27,830 --> 02:08:30,137
The younger one
said to his father,
2239
02:08:30,180 --> 02:08:33,053
'Father, give me my share
of the estate.'
2240
02:08:33,096 --> 02:08:37,405
So he divided
his property between them.
2241
02:08:37,448 --> 02:08:39,581
Not long after that,
the younger son
2242
02:08:39,624 --> 02:08:41,191
got together all he had,
2243
02:08:41,235 --> 02:08:44,151
set off
for a distant country
2244
02:08:44,194 --> 02:08:47,676
and there squandered
his wealth in wild living.
2245
02:08:49,809 --> 02:08:51,680
After he had spent
everything,
2246
02:08:51,724 --> 02:08:54,901
there was a severe famine
in that whole country,
2247
02:08:54,944 --> 02:08:57,686
and he began
to be in need.
2248
02:08:57,730 --> 02:08:59,340
So he went
and hired himself
2249
02:08:59,383 --> 02:09:02,735
out to a citizen
of that country,
2250
02:09:02,778 --> 02:09:06,826
who sent him to his fields
to feed pigs.
2251
02:09:06,869 --> 02:09:08,523
He longed to fill
his stomach
2252
02:09:08,566 --> 02:09:12,266
with the pods
that the pigs were eating,
2253
02:09:12,309 --> 02:09:14,268
but no one
gave him anything.
2254
02:09:18,272 --> 02:09:21,579
When he came
to his senses, he said,
2255
02:09:21,623 --> 02:09:23,799
'How many of my father's
hired servants
2256
02:09:23,843 --> 02:09:25,670
have food to spare,
2257
02:09:25,714 --> 02:09:28,848
and here I am
starving to death!
2258
02:09:28,891 --> 02:09:32,460
I will set out
and go back to my father
and say to him,
2259
02:09:32,503 --> 02:09:34,941
"Father, I have sinned
against heaven
2260
02:09:34,984 --> 02:09:37,247
and against you.
2261
02:09:37,291 --> 02:09:40,381
I am no longer worthy
to be called your son.
2262
02:09:40,424 --> 02:09:44,211
Make me like one
of your hired servants."'
2263
02:09:44,254 --> 02:09:46,779
So he got up
and went to his father.
2264
02:09:49,999 --> 02:09:52,306
But while he was still
a long way off,
2265
02:09:52,349 --> 02:09:55,265
his father saw him
2266
02:09:55,309 --> 02:09:58,051
and was filled
with compassion for him,
2267
02:09:58,094 --> 02:09:59,704
he ran to his son,
2268
02:09:59,748 --> 02:10:04,361
threw his arms around him
and kissed him.
2269
02:10:04,405 --> 02:10:07,582
The son said to him,
'Father, I have sinned
2270
02:10:07,625 --> 02:10:10,890
against heaven
and against you.
2271
02:10:10,933 --> 02:10:13,849
I am no longer worthy
to be called your son.'
2272
02:10:16,460 --> 02:10:18,854
But the father
said to his servants,
2273
02:10:18,898 --> 02:10:22,162
'Quick! Bring the best robe
and put it on him.
2274
02:10:22,205 --> 02:10:26,035
Put a ring on his finger
and sandals on his feet.
2275
02:10:26,079 --> 02:10:29,343
Bring the fattened calf
and kill it.
2276
02:10:29,386 --> 02:10:32,781
Let's have a feast
and celebrate.
2277
02:10:32,825 --> 02:10:37,438
For this son of mine
was dead and is alive again,
2278
02:10:37,481 --> 02:10:40,006
he was lost and is found.'
2279
02:10:42,747 --> 02:10:45,228
So they began to celebrate.
2280
02:10:49,015 --> 02:10:52,061
Meanwhile, the older son
was in the field.
2281
02:10:52,105 --> 02:10:55,021
When he came near the house,
he heard music and dancing.
2282
02:10:59,155 --> 02:11:00,896
So he called
one of the servants
2283
02:11:00,940 --> 02:11:04,160
and asked him
what was going on.
2284
02:11:04,204 --> 02:11:06,771
'Your brother has come,'
he replied,
2285
02:11:09,513 --> 02:11:11,907
'and your father
has killed the fattened calf
2286
02:11:11,951 --> 02:11:15,606
because he has him back
safe and sound.'
2287
02:11:15,650 --> 02:11:17,217
The older brother
became angry
2288
02:11:17,260 --> 02:11:19,872
and refused to go in.
2289
02:11:19,915 --> 02:11:23,614
So his father went out
and pleaded with him.
2290
02:11:23,658 --> 02:11:27,053
But he answered
his father, 'Look!
2291
02:11:27,096 --> 02:11:29,359
All these years
I've been slaving for you
2292
02:11:29,403 --> 02:11:32,667
and never disobeyed
your orders.
2293
02:11:32,710 --> 02:11:35,061
Yet you never gave me
even a young goat
2294
02:11:35,104 --> 02:11:38,020
so I could celebrate
with my friends.
2295
02:11:38,064 --> 02:11:40,936
But when this son of yours
who has squandered
2296
02:11:40,980 --> 02:11:43,373
your property
with prostitutes
comes home,
2297
02:11:43,417 --> 02:11:46,028
you kill the fattened calf
for him!'
2298
02:11:48,422 --> 02:11:51,425
'My son,' the father said,
2299
02:11:51,468 --> 02:11:54,602
'you are always with me,
2300
02:11:54,645 --> 02:11:58,258
and everything
I have is yours.
2301
02:11:58,301 --> 02:12:00,521
But we had to celebrate
and be glad,
2302
02:12:00,564 --> 02:12:02,740
because this brother
of yours was dead
2303
02:12:02,784 --> 02:12:04,699
and is alive again.
2304
02:12:04,742 --> 02:12:07,920
He was lost and is found.'"
2305
02:12:12,098 --> 02:12:16,972
Jesus told his disciples,
"There was a rich man
2306
02:12:17,016 --> 02:12:20,584
whose manager was accused
of wasting his possessions.
2307
02:12:20,628 --> 02:12:22,978
So he called him in
and asked him,
2308
02:12:23,022 --> 02:12:24,632
'What is this
I hear about you?
2309
02:12:24,675 --> 02:12:26,242
Give an account
of your management,
2310
02:12:26,286 --> 02:12:29,332
because you cannot
be manager any longer.'
2311
02:12:32,031 --> 02:12:35,773
The manager said to himself,
'What shall I do now?
2312
02:12:35,817 --> 02:12:37,950
My master
is taking away my job.
2313
02:12:37,993 --> 02:12:39,299
I'm not strong
enough to dig,
2314
02:12:39,342 --> 02:12:41,214
and I'm ashamed to beg.
2315
02:12:41,257 --> 02:12:44,217
I know what I'll do so that
when I lose my job here
2316
02:12:44,260 --> 02:12:46,871
people will welcome me
into their houses.'
2317
02:12:49,396 --> 02:12:52,834
So he called in each one
of his master's debtors.
2318
02:12:52,877 --> 02:12:57,795
He asked the first,
'How much do you owe
my master?'
2319
02:12:57,839 --> 02:13:01,886
'900 gallons
of olive oil,' he replied.
2320
02:13:01,930 --> 02:13:04,411
The manager told him,
'Take your bill,
2321
02:13:04,454 --> 02:13:06,021
sit down quickly,
2322
02:13:06,065 --> 02:13:07,762
and make it 450.'
2323
02:13:10,286 --> 02:13:13,986
Then he asked the second,
'And how much do you owe?'
2324
02:13:14,029 --> 02:13:18,555
'1000 bushels of wheat,'
he replied.
2325
02:13:18,599 --> 02:13:23,430
He told him,
'Take your bill
and make it 800.'
2326
02:13:23,473 --> 02:13:26,520
The master commended
the dishonest manager
2327
02:13:26,563 --> 02:13:29,305
because he had acted
shrewdly.
2328
02:13:29,349 --> 02:13:31,046
For the people
of this world
2329
02:13:31,090 --> 02:13:33,701
are more shrewd in dealing
with their own kind
2330
02:13:33,744 --> 02:13:35,485
than are the people
of the light.
2331
02:13:35,529 --> 02:13:38,053
I tell you,
use worldly wealth
2332
02:13:38,097 --> 02:13:40,664
to gain
friends for yourselves,
2333
02:13:40,708 --> 02:13:42,449
so that when it is gone,
2334
02:13:42,492 --> 02:13:45,495
you will be welcomed
into eternal dwellings.
2335
02:13:47,758 --> 02:13:50,109
Whoever can be trusted
with very little
2336
02:13:50,152 --> 02:13:53,373
can also be
trusted with much,
2337
02:13:53,416 --> 02:13:57,072
and whoever is dishonest
with very little
2338
02:13:57,116 --> 02:14:00,162
will also be dishonest
with much.
2339
02:14:00,206 --> 02:14:02,904
So if you have not
been trustworthy
2340
02:14:02,947 --> 02:14:05,167
in handling worldly wealth,
2341
02:14:05,211 --> 02:14:08,214
who will trust you
with true riches?
2342
02:14:08,257 --> 02:14:09,693
And if you have not
been trustworthy
2343
02:14:09,737 --> 02:14:11,521
with someone else's
property,
2344
02:14:11,565 --> 02:14:15,003
who will give you
property of your own?
2345
02:14:15,047 --> 02:14:19,181
No one can serve
two masters.
2346
02:14:19,225 --> 02:14:22,445
Either you will hate the one
and love the other...
2347
02:14:28,451 --> 02:14:30,845
or you will be devoted
to the one
2348
02:14:30,888 --> 02:14:32,847
and despise the other.
2349
02:14:38,026 --> 02:14:41,682
You cannot serve
both God and money."
2350
02:14:47,731 --> 02:14:49,820
The Pharisees,
who loved money,
2351
02:14:49,864 --> 02:14:53,694
heard all this
and were sneering at Jesus.
2352
02:14:53,737 --> 02:14:56,175
He said to them,
"You are the ones
2353
02:14:56,218 --> 02:14:59,134
who justify yourselves
in the eyes of others,
2354
02:14:59,178 --> 02:15:01,702
but God knows your hearts.
2355
02:15:01,745 --> 02:15:07,186
What people value highly
is detestable in God's sight.
2356
02:15:07,229 --> 02:15:11,668
"The Law and the Prophets
were proclaimed until John.
2357
02:15:11,712 --> 02:15:13,627
Since that time,
the good news
2358
02:15:13,670 --> 02:15:16,978
of the kingdom of God
is being preached,
2359
02:15:17,021 --> 02:15:20,242
and everyone is forcing
their way into it.
2360
02:15:20,286 --> 02:15:23,463
It is easier for heaven
and Earth to disappear
2361
02:15:23,506 --> 02:15:26,161
than for the least stroke
of a pen
2362
02:15:26,205 --> 02:15:28,468
to drop out of the Law.
2363
02:15:28,511 --> 02:15:31,297
Anyone who divorces his wife
and marries another woman
2364
02:15:31,340 --> 02:15:33,516
commits adultery,
2365
02:15:33,560 --> 02:15:36,084
and the man who marries
a divorced woman
2366
02:15:36,128 --> 02:15:37,825
commits adultery.
2367
02:15:40,741 --> 02:15:44,832
There was a rich man
who was dressed in purple
and fine linen
2368
02:15:44,875 --> 02:15:47,661
and lived in luxury
every day.
2369
02:15:47,704 --> 02:15:50,968
At his gate was laid
a beggar named Lazarus,
2370
02:15:51,012 --> 02:15:53,536
covered with sores
and longing to eat
2371
02:15:53,580 --> 02:15:55,886
what fell from
the rich man's table.
2372
02:15:55,930 --> 02:15:58,889
Even the dogs came
and licked his sores.
2373
02:15:58,933 --> 02:16:01,153
The time came
when the beggar died
2374
02:16:01,196 --> 02:16:04,765
and the angels carried him
to Abraham's side.
2375
02:16:04,808 --> 02:16:07,594
The rich man also died
and was buried.
2376
02:16:07,637 --> 02:16:10,205
In Hades, where he was
in torment,
2377
02:16:10,249 --> 02:16:13,121
he looked up
and saw Abraham far away
2378
02:16:13,165 --> 02:16:16,603
with Lazarus by his side.
2379
02:16:16,646 --> 02:16:19,258
So he called to him,
'Father Abraham,
2380
02:16:19,301 --> 02:16:21,651
have pity on me
and send Lazarus
2381
02:16:21,695 --> 02:16:25,220
to dip the tip of his finger
in water and cool my tongue,
2382
02:16:25,264 --> 02:16:28,963
because I am in agony
in this fire.'
2383
02:16:29,006 --> 02:16:34,621
But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime
2384
02:16:34,664 --> 02:16:36,884
you received
your good things,
2385
02:16:36,927 --> 02:16:39,669
while Lazarus
received bad things,
2386
02:16:39,713 --> 02:16:43,369
but now he is comforted here
and you are in agony.
2387
02:16:47,068 --> 02:16:50,245
And besides all this,
between us and you,
2388
02:16:50,289 --> 02:16:53,074
a great chasm has
been set in place,
2389
02:16:53,117 --> 02:16:56,599
so that those who want to go
from here to you cannot,
2390
02:16:56,643 --> 02:17:00,037
nor can anyone cross over
from there to us.'
2391
02:17:02,649 --> 02:17:05,347
He answered,
'Then I beg you, Father,
2392
02:17:05,391 --> 02:17:08,481
send Lazarus to my family,
for I have five brothers.
2393
02:17:08,524 --> 02:17:11,701
Let him warn them,
so that they will not also
2394
02:17:11,745 --> 02:17:14,269
come to this place
of torment.'
2395
02:17:17,098 --> 02:17:21,929
Abraham replied,
'They have Moses
and the Prophets.
2396
02:17:21,972 --> 02:17:25,149
Let them listen to them.'
2397
02:17:25,193 --> 02:17:27,978
'No, Father Abraham,'
he said,
2398
02:17:28,022 --> 02:17:29,980
'but if someone
from the dead goes to them,
2399
02:17:30,024 --> 02:17:32,287
they will repent.'
2400
02:17:32,331 --> 02:17:35,116
He said to him,
'If they do not listen
2401
02:17:35,159 --> 02:17:38,946
to Moses and the Prophets,
they will not be convinced
2402
02:17:38,989 --> 02:17:41,470
even if someone rises
from the dead.'"
2403
02:18:05,146 --> 02:18:08,889
Jesus said to his disciples,
"Things that cause people
2404
02:18:08,932 --> 02:18:11,457
to stumble
are bound to come,
2405
02:18:11,500 --> 02:18:16,331
but woe to anyone
through whom they come.
2406
02:18:16,375 --> 02:18:18,377
It would be better for them
to be thrown into the sea
2407
02:18:18,420 --> 02:18:21,118
with a millstone
tied around their neck
2408
02:18:21,162 --> 02:18:24,731
than to cause one of these
little ones to stumble.
2409
02:18:24,774 --> 02:18:27,647
So watch yourselves.
2410
02:18:27,690 --> 02:18:30,476
If your brother or sister
sins against you,
2411
02:18:30,519 --> 02:18:32,042
rebuke them,
2412
02:18:32,086 --> 02:18:34,001
and if they repent,
forgive them.
2413
02:18:35,916 --> 02:18:39,354
Even if they sin against you
seven times in a day
2414
02:18:39,398 --> 02:18:43,402
and seven times
come back to you saying
'I repent,'
2415
02:18:43,445 --> 02:18:45,186
you must forgive them."
2416
02:18:51,148 --> 02:18:53,368
The apostles
said to the Lord,
2417
02:18:53,412 --> 02:18:56,458
"Increase our faith!"
2418
02:18:56,502 --> 02:18:59,548
He replied,
"If you have faith
2419
02:18:59,592 --> 02:19:01,681
as small as a mustard seed,
2420
02:19:01,724 --> 02:19:04,031
you can say
to this mulberry tree,
2421
02:19:04,074 --> 02:19:07,121
'Be uprooted and planted
in the sea,'
2422
02:19:07,164 --> 02:19:11,778
and it will obey you.
2423
02:19:11,821 --> 02:19:14,520
Suppose one of you
has a servant plowing
2424
02:19:14,563 --> 02:19:17,610
or looking
after the sheep.
2425
02:19:17,653 --> 02:19:19,133
Will he say
to the servant
2426
02:19:19,176 --> 02:19:21,396
when he comes in
from the field,
2427
02:19:21,440 --> 02:19:23,703
'Come along now
and sit down to eat'?
2428
02:19:23,746 --> 02:19:26,575
Won't he rather say,
'Prepare my supper,
2429
02:19:26,619 --> 02:19:28,577
get yourself ready
and wait on me
2430
02:19:28,621 --> 02:19:31,363
while I eat and drink,
2431
02:19:31,406 --> 02:19:34,366
after that you may
eat and drink'?
2432
02:19:34,409 --> 02:19:36,672
Will he thank the servant
because he did
2433
02:19:36,716 --> 02:19:39,109
what he was told to do?
2434
02:19:39,153 --> 02:19:40,894
So you also,
when you have done
2435
02:19:40,937 --> 02:19:43,070
everything
you were told to do,
2436
02:19:43,113 --> 02:19:46,726
should say,
'We are unworthy servants,
2437
02:19:46,769 --> 02:19:49,032
we have only
done our duty.'"
2438
02:19:56,257 --> 02:19:58,302
Now on his way
to Jerusalem,
2439
02:19:58,346 --> 02:20:00,043
Jesus traveled
along the border
2440
02:20:00,087 --> 02:20:02,524
between Samaria
and Galilee.
2441
02:20:02,568 --> 02:20:04,526
As he was going
into a village,
2442
02:20:04,570 --> 02:20:07,224
10 men who had leprosy
met him.
2443
02:20:07,268 --> 02:20:09,139
They stood at a distance
2444
02:20:09,183 --> 02:20:11,446
and called out
in a loud voice,
2445
02:20:11,490 --> 02:20:15,972
"Jesus, Master,
have pity on us!"
2446
02:20:16,016 --> 02:20:17,757
When he saw them,
he said,
2447
02:20:17,800 --> 02:20:20,542
"Go, show yourselves
to the priests."
2448
02:20:26,243 --> 02:20:31,031
And as they went,
they were cleansed.
2449
02:20:34,774 --> 02:20:37,516
One of them,
when he saw he was healed,
2450
02:20:37,559 --> 02:20:40,649
came back, praising God
in a loud voice.
2451
02:20:40,693 --> 02:20:42,695
He threw himself
at Jesus' feet
2452
02:20:42,738 --> 02:20:46,220
and thanked him--
and he was a Samaritan.
2453
02:20:46,263 --> 02:20:50,311
Jesus asked,
"Were not all ten cleansed?
2454
02:20:50,354 --> 02:20:52,226
Where are the other nine?
2455
02:20:52,269 --> 02:20:54,228
Has no one returned
to give praise to God
2456
02:20:54,271 --> 02:20:56,535
except this foreigner?"
2457
02:20:56,578 --> 02:20:59,973
Then he said to him,
"Rise and go,
2458
02:21:00,016 --> 02:21:02,454
your faith
has made you well."
2459
02:21:10,418 --> 02:21:12,986
Once, on being asked
by the Pharisees
2460
02:21:13,029 --> 02:21:15,641
when the kingdom of God
would come,
2461
02:21:15,684 --> 02:21:19,645
Jesus replied, "The coming
of the kingdom of God
2462
02:21:19,688 --> 02:21:22,343
is not something
that can be observed,
2463
02:21:22,386 --> 02:21:25,302
nor will people say,
'Here it is,'
2464
02:21:25,346 --> 02:21:27,696
or 'There it is,'
2465
02:21:27,740 --> 02:21:32,222
because the kingdom of God
is in your midst."
2466
02:21:32,266 --> 02:21:34,703
Then he said
to his disciples,
2467
02:21:34,747 --> 02:21:37,750
"The time is coming
when you will long to see
2468
02:21:37,793 --> 02:21:40,317
one of the days
of the Son of Man,
2469
02:21:40,361 --> 02:21:42,276
but you will not see it.
2470
02:21:42,319 --> 02:21:45,018
People will tell you,
'There he is!'
2471
02:21:45,061 --> 02:21:47,673
or 'Here he is!'
2472
02:21:47,716 --> 02:21:51,024
Do not go running off
after them.
2473
02:21:51,067 --> 02:21:53,243
For the Son of Man
in his day
2474
02:21:53,287 --> 02:21:55,463
will be like the lightning,
which flashes
2475
02:21:55,507 --> 02:21:58,684
and lights up the sky
from one end to the other.
2476
02:21:58,727 --> 02:22:01,904
But first he must suffer
many things...
2477
02:22:04,037 --> 02:22:06,561
and be rejected
by this generation.
2478
02:22:12,611 --> 02:22:15,875
Just as it was
in the days of Noah,
2479
02:22:15,918 --> 02:22:17,703
so also will it be
in the days
2480
02:22:17,746 --> 02:22:19,400
of the Son of Man.
2481
02:22:19,443 --> 02:22:21,968
People were eating,
drinking, marrying
2482
02:22:22,011 --> 02:22:23,970
and being given
in marriage
2483
02:22:24,013 --> 02:22:27,277
up to the day
Noah entered the ark.
2484
02:22:27,321 --> 02:22:32,108
Then the flood came
and destroyed them all.
2485
02:22:32,152 --> 02:22:35,590
It was the same
in the days of Lot.
2486
02:22:35,634 --> 02:22:37,157
People were eating
and drinking,
2487
02:22:37,200 --> 02:22:39,594
buying and selling,
planting and building.
2488
02:22:41,640 --> 02:22:44,207
But the day Lot
left Sodom,
2489
02:22:44,251 --> 02:22:47,254
fire and sulfur
rained down from heaven
2490
02:22:47,297 --> 02:22:49,691
and destroyed them all.
2491
02:22:49,735 --> 02:22:51,214
It will be
just like this on the day
2492
02:22:51,258 --> 02:22:53,303
the Son of Man
is revealed.
2493
02:22:53,347 --> 02:22:56,176
On that day no one
who is on the housetop,
2494
02:22:56,219 --> 02:23:00,006
with possessions inside,
should go down to get them.
2495
02:23:00,049 --> 02:23:03,836
Likewise, no one in the field
should go back for anything.
2496
02:23:03,879 --> 02:23:06,142
Remember Lot's wife!
2497
02:23:06,186 --> 02:23:08,884
Whoever tries
to keep their life
will lose it,
2498
02:23:08,928 --> 02:23:10,538
and whoever loses
their life
2499
02:23:10,582 --> 02:23:11,974
will preserve it.
2500
02:23:12,018 --> 02:23:13,759
I tell you,
on that night
2501
02:23:13,802 --> 02:23:16,196
two people
will be in one bed,
2502
02:23:16,239 --> 02:23:19,025
one will be taken
and the other left.
2503
02:23:21,027 --> 02:23:24,552
Two women will be
grinding grain together,
2504
02:23:24,596 --> 02:23:28,164
one will be taken
and the other left."
2505
02:23:30,297 --> 02:23:33,866
"Where, Lord?"
they asked.
2506
02:23:33,909 --> 02:23:38,784
He replied,
"Where there is a dead body,
2507
02:23:38,827 --> 02:23:41,221
there the vultures
will gather."
2508
02:23:57,585 --> 02:24:00,588
Then Jesus told
his disciples a parable
2509
02:24:00,632 --> 02:24:02,895
to show them that
they should always pray
2510
02:24:02,938 --> 02:24:04,723
and not give up.
2511
02:24:04,766 --> 02:24:08,074
He said, "In a certain town
there was a judge
2512
02:24:08,117 --> 02:24:09,684
who neither feared God
2513
02:24:09,728 --> 02:24:13,296
nor cared
what people thought.
2514
02:24:13,340 --> 02:24:15,385
And there was a widow
in that town
2515
02:24:15,429 --> 02:24:17,605
who kept coming to him
with the plea,
2516
02:24:17,649 --> 02:24:21,827
'Grant me justice
against my adversary.'
2517
02:24:21,870 --> 02:24:24,003
For some time he refused.
2518
02:24:24,046 --> 02:24:27,049
But finally
he said to himself,
2519
02:24:27,093 --> 02:24:30,400
'Even though I don't fear God
or care what people think,
2520
02:24:30,444 --> 02:24:33,665
yet because this widow
keeps bothering me,
2521
02:24:33,708 --> 02:24:35,754
I will see
that she gets justice,
2522
02:24:35,797 --> 02:24:38,234
so that she won't eventually
come and attack me!'"
2523
02:24:41,107 --> 02:24:42,586
And the Lord said,
2524
02:24:42,630 --> 02:24:46,155
"Listen to what
the unjust judge says.
2525
02:24:46,199 --> 02:24:48,027
And will not God
bring about justice
2526
02:24:48,070 --> 02:24:49,811
for his chosen ones,
2527
02:24:49,855 --> 02:24:52,335
who cry out to him
day and night?
2528
02:24:52,379 --> 02:24:54,076
Will he keep
putting them off?
2529
02:24:54,120 --> 02:24:57,123
I tell you, he will see
that they get justice,
2530
02:24:57,166 --> 02:24:59,778
and quickly.
2531
02:24:59,821 --> 02:25:02,737
However, when
the Son of Man comes,
2532
02:25:02,781 --> 02:25:04,826
will he find
faith on the Earth?"
2533
02:25:07,960 --> 02:25:10,919
To some who were confident
of their own righteousness
2534
02:25:10,963 --> 02:25:12,747
and looked down
on everyone else,
2535
02:25:12,791 --> 02:25:14,880
Jesus told this parable...
2536
02:25:16,882 --> 02:25:19,623
"Two men went up
to the temple to pray...
2537
02:25:22,801 --> 02:25:24,193
one a Pharisee
2538
02:25:24,237 --> 02:25:27,153
and the other
a tax collector.
2539
02:25:27,196 --> 02:25:30,896
The Pharisee stood
by himself and prayed,
2540
02:25:30,939 --> 02:25:34,813
'God, I thank you that I am
not like other people--
2541
02:25:34,856 --> 02:25:38,077
robbers, evildoers,
adulterers--
2542
02:25:38,120 --> 02:25:40,340
or even like
this tax collector.
2543
02:25:40,383 --> 02:25:42,734
I fast twice a week
2544
02:25:42,777 --> 02:25:46,433
and give a tenth
of all I get.'
2545
02:25:46,476 --> 02:25:49,784
But the tax collector
stood at a distance.
2546
02:25:49,828 --> 02:25:52,091
He would not even
look up to heaven,
2547
02:25:52,134 --> 02:25:54,484
but beat his breast
and said,
2548
02:25:54,528 --> 02:25:58,271
'God, have mercy on me,
a sinner.'
2549
02:25:58,314 --> 02:26:01,840
I tell you that this man,
rather than the other,
2550
02:26:01,883 --> 02:26:04,799
went home justified
before God.
2551
02:26:04,843 --> 02:26:08,194
For all those
who exalt themselves
will be humbled,
2552
02:26:08,237 --> 02:26:11,763
and those who
humble themselves
will be exalted."
2553
02:26:14,678 --> 02:26:16,289
[ chattering ]
2554
02:26:23,992 --> 02:26:26,690
People were also bringing
babies to Jesus
2555
02:26:26,734 --> 02:26:29,345
for him to place
his hands on them.
2556
02:26:29,389 --> 02:26:32,696
When the disciples saw this,
they rebuked them.
2557
02:26:32,740 --> 02:26:35,438
But Jesus
called the children
to him and said,
2558
02:26:35,482 --> 02:26:37,310
"Let the little children
come to me,
2559
02:26:37,353 --> 02:26:38,964
and do not hinder them,
2560
02:26:39,007 --> 02:26:42,141
for the kingdom of God
belongs to such as these.
2561
02:26:42,184 --> 02:26:45,231
Truly I tell you,
anyone who will not receive
2562
02:26:45,274 --> 02:26:47,624
the kingdom of God
like a little child
2563
02:26:47,668 --> 02:26:49,539
will never enter it."
2564
02:27:00,899 --> 02:27:03,945
A certain ruler asked him,
"Good teacher,
2565
02:27:03,989 --> 02:27:08,428
what must I do to inherit
eternal life?"
2566
02:27:08,471 --> 02:27:12,345
"Why do you call me good?",
Jesus answered.
2567
02:27:12,388 --> 02:27:15,478
"No one is good
except God alone.
2568
02:27:15,522 --> 02:27:17,350
You know the commandments.
2569
02:27:17,393 --> 02:27:18,917
You shall not commit adultery,
2570
02:27:18,960 --> 02:27:20,048
you shall not murder,
2571
02:27:20,092 --> 02:27:21,528
you shall not steal,
2572
02:27:21,571 --> 02:27:23,443
you shall not give
false testimony,
2573
02:27:23,486 --> 02:27:25,619
honor your father
and mother."
2574
02:27:25,662 --> 02:27:29,405
"All these I have kept
since I was a boy," he said.
2575
02:27:29,449 --> 02:27:33,192
When Jesus heard this,
he said to him,
2576
02:27:33,235 --> 02:27:35,542
"You still lack one thing.
2577
02:27:35,585 --> 02:27:38,937
Sell everything you have
and give to the poor,
2578
02:27:38,980 --> 02:27:41,983
and you will have treasure
in heaven.
2579
02:27:42,027 --> 02:27:44,290
Then come, follow me."
2580
02:27:44,333 --> 02:27:47,423
When he heard this,
he became very sad,
2581
02:27:47,467 --> 02:27:49,730
because he was
very wealthy.
2582
02:27:49,773 --> 02:27:52,602
Jesus looked at him
and said,
2583
02:27:52,646 --> 02:27:54,256
"How hard it is
for the rich
2584
02:27:54,300 --> 02:27:56,563
to enter
the kingdom of God!
2585
02:27:56,606 --> 02:27:58,957
Indeed, it is easier
for a camel
2586
02:27:59,000 --> 02:28:00,610
to go through
the eye of a needle
2587
02:28:00,654 --> 02:28:02,699
than for someone
who is rich
2588
02:28:02,743 --> 02:28:04,658
to enter
the kingdom of God."
2589
02:28:06,965 --> 02:28:10,707
Those who heard this asked,
"Who then can be saved?"
2590
02:28:10,751 --> 02:28:14,581
Jesus replied,
"What is impossible with man
2591
02:28:14,624 --> 02:28:17,497
is possible with God."
2592
02:28:17,540 --> 02:28:23,242
Peter said to him,
"We have left all we had
to follow you!"
2593
02:28:23,285 --> 02:28:26,985
"Truly I tell you,"
Jesus said to them,
2594
02:28:27,028 --> 02:28:29,770
"no one who has left home
or wife or brothers
2595
02:28:29,813 --> 02:28:31,728
or sisters or parents
or children
2596
02:28:31,772 --> 02:28:33,643
for the sake
of the kingdom of God
2597
02:28:33,687 --> 02:28:36,559
will fail to receive
many times
2598
02:28:36,603 --> 02:28:40,389
as much in this age,
and in the age to come,
2599
02:28:40,433 --> 02:28:42,435
eternal life."
2600
02:28:47,527 --> 02:28:50,878
Jesus took the Twelve aside
and told them,
2601
02:28:50,922 --> 02:28:53,098
"We are going up
to Jerusalem,
2602
02:28:53,141 --> 02:28:54,534
and everything
that is written
2603
02:28:54,577 --> 02:28:56,710
by the prophets
about the Son of Man
2604
02:28:56,753 --> 02:28:58,930
will be fulfilled.
2605
02:28:58,973 --> 02:29:01,758
He will be delivered
over to the Gentiles.
2606
02:29:01,802 --> 02:29:05,066
They will mock him,
insult him and spit on him,
2607
02:29:05,110 --> 02:29:08,156
they will flog him
and kill him.
2608
02:29:08,200 --> 02:29:10,942
On the third day
he will rise again."
2609
02:29:14,032 --> 02:29:17,644
The disciples did not
understand any of this.
2610
02:29:17,687 --> 02:29:19,472
Its meaning
was hidden from them,
2611
02:29:19,515 --> 02:29:21,822
and they did not know
what he was talking about.
2612
02:29:27,523 --> 02:29:30,265
As Jesus
approached Jericho,
2613
02:29:30,309 --> 02:29:33,834
a blind man was sitting
by the roadside begging.
2614
02:29:33,877 --> 02:29:36,184
When he heard
the crowd going by,
2615
02:29:36,228 --> 02:29:38,230
he asked what was happening.
2616
02:29:38,273 --> 02:29:42,495
They told him,
"Jesus of Nazareth
is passing by."
2617
02:29:42,538 --> 02:29:46,716
He called out,
"Jesus, Son of David,
have mercy on me!"
2618
02:29:50,198 --> 02:29:54,463
Those who led the way
rebuked him and told him
to be quiet,
2619
02:29:54,507 --> 02:29:56,074
but he shouted
all the more,
2620
02:29:56,117 --> 02:29:59,294
"Son of David,
have mercy on me!"
2621
02:29:59,338 --> 02:30:03,472
Jesus stopped
and ordered the man
to be brought to him.
2622
02:30:03,516 --> 02:30:07,128
When he came near,
Jesus asked him,
2623
02:30:07,172 --> 02:30:10,175
"What do you want me
to do for you?"
2624
02:30:10,218 --> 02:30:13,743
"Lord, I want to see,"
he replied.
2625
02:30:15,963 --> 02:30:19,227
Jesus said to him,
"Receive your sight,
2626
02:30:23,710 --> 02:30:26,234
your faith has healed you."
2627
02:30:31,587 --> 02:30:34,895
Immediately he received
his sight and followed Jesus,
2628
02:30:34,938 --> 02:30:36,679
praising God.
2629
02:30:39,204 --> 02:30:40,901
When all the people saw it,
2630
02:30:40,944 --> 02:30:43,034
they also praised God.
2631
02:30:46,124 --> 02:30:50,519
Jesus entered Jericho
and was passing through.
2632
02:30:50,563 --> 02:30:53,218
A man was there
by the name of Zacchaeus,
2633
02:30:53,261 --> 02:30:56,917
he was a chief tax collector
and was wealthy.
2634
02:30:56,960 --> 02:31:00,747
He wanted to see
who Jesus was,
2635
02:31:00,790 --> 02:31:03,489
but because he was short
he could not see
2636
02:31:03,532 --> 02:31:05,578
over the crowd.
2637
02:31:05,621 --> 02:31:08,755
So he ran ahead and climbed
a sycamore-fig tree
2638
02:31:08,798 --> 02:31:12,715
to see him, since Jesus
was coming that way.
2639
02:31:12,759 --> 02:31:17,242
When Jesus reached the spot,
he looked up and said to him,
2640
02:31:17,285 --> 02:31:20,158
"Zacchaeus, come down
immediately.
2641
02:31:20,201 --> 02:31:22,943
I must stay
at your house today."
2642
02:31:22,986 --> 02:31:26,903
So he came down at once
and welcomed him gladly.
2643
02:31:26,947 --> 02:31:29,776
All the people saw this
and began to mutter,
2644
02:31:29,819 --> 02:31:32,344
"He has gone to be
the guest of a sinner."
2645
02:31:32,387 --> 02:31:38,089
But Zacchaeus stood up
and said to the Lord,
"Look, Lord!
2646
02:31:38,132 --> 02:31:42,267
Here and now I give half
of my possessions
to the poor,
2647
02:31:42,310 --> 02:31:44,660
and if I have cheated
anybody out of anything,
2648
02:31:44,704 --> 02:31:48,664
I will pay back
four times the amount."
2649
02:31:48,708 --> 02:31:52,277
Jesus said to him,
"Today salvation has come
2650
02:31:52,320 --> 02:31:55,236
to this house,
because this man, too,
2651
02:31:55,280 --> 02:31:57,586
is a son of Abraham.
2652
02:31:57,630 --> 02:32:01,373
For the Son of Man
came to seek and to save
the lost."
2653
02:32:06,726 --> 02:32:08,206
While they were
listening to this,
2654
02:32:08,249 --> 02:32:10,208
he went on to tell them
a parable,
2655
02:32:10,251 --> 02:32:12,949
because he was near Jerusalem
and the people thought
2656
02:32:12,993 --> 02:32:15,996
that the kingdom of God
was going to appear at once.
2657
02:32:16,039 --> 02:32:20,479
He said,
"A man of noble birth
went to a distant country
2658
02:32:20,522 --> 02:32:22,481
to have himself
appointed king
2659
02:32:22,524 --> 02:32:24,874
and then to return.
2660
02:32:24,918 --> 02:32:27,094
So he called
10 of his servants
2661
02:32:27,138 --> 02:32:29,531
and gave them 10 minas.
2662
02:32:29,575 --> 02:32:33,535
'Put this money to work,'
he said, 'until I come back.'
2663
02:32:33,579 --> 02:32:36,059
But his subjects hated him
2664
02:32:36,103 --> 02:32:38,714
and sent a delegation
after him to say,
2665
02:32:38,758 --> 02:32:42,718
'We don't want this man
to be our king.'
2666
02:32:42,762 --> 02:32:46,766
He was made king, however,
and returned home.
2667
02:32:46,809 --> 02:32:48,463
Then he sent
for the servants
2668
02:32:48,507 --> 02:32:50,248
to whom he had given
the money,
2669
02:32:50,291 --> 02:32:53,164
in order to find out
what they had gained with it.
2670
02:32:53,207 --> 02:32:55,122
The first one came
and said,
2671
02:32:55,166 --> 02:32:58,560
'Sir, your mina
has earned 10 more.'
2672
02:32:58,604 --> 02:33:01,955
'Well done, my good servant!'
his master replied.
2673
02:33:01,998 --> 02:33:03,739
'Because you have been
trustworthy
2674
02:33:03,783 --> 02:33:08,918
in a very small matter,
take charge of 10 cities.'
2675
02:33:08,962 --> 02:33:10,964
The second came and said,
2676
02:33:11,007 --> 02:33:14,185
'Sir, your mina has earned
five more.'
2677
02:33:14,228 --> 02:33:17,013
"His master answered,
'You take charge
2678
02:33:17,057 --> 02:33:19,320
of five cities.'
2679
02:33:19,364 --> 02:33:21,235
Then another servant
came and said,
2680
02:33:21,279 --> 02:33:24,499
'Sir, here is your mina,
2681
02:33:24,543 --> 02:33:27,328
I have kept it laid away
in a piece of cloth.
2682
02:33:27,372 --> 02:33:30,331
I was afraid of you,
because you are a hard man.
2683
02:33:30,375 --> 02:33:32,420
You take out
what you did not put in
2684
02:33:32,464 --> 02:33:35,206
and reap
what you did not sow.'
2685
02:33:35,249 --> 02:33:39,253
His master replied,
'I will judge you by
your own words,
2686
02:33:39,297 --> 02:33:41,212
you wicked servant!
2687
02:33:41,255 --> 02:33:44,432
You knew, did you,
that I am a hard man,
2688
02:33:44,476 --> 02:33:46,391
taking out
what I did not put in,
2689
02:33:46,434 --> 02:33:48,480
and reaping
what I did not sow?
2690
02:33:48,523 --> 02:33:50,830
Why then didn't you
put my money on deposit,
2691
02:33:50,873 --> 02:33:52,440
so that when I came back,
2692
02:33:52,484 --> 02:33:55,356
I could have collected it
with interest?'
2693
02:33:55,400 --> 02:33:58,054
Then he said to those
standing by,
2694
02:33:58,098 --> 02:34:00,231
'Take his mina
away from him
2695
02:34:00,274 --> 02:34:03,190
and give it to the one
who has 10 minas.'
2696
02:34:03,234 --> 02:34:07,542
'Sir,' they said,
'he already has 10!'
2697
02:34:07,586 --> 02:34:12,199
He replied, 'I tell you
that to everyone who has,
2698
02:34:12,243 --> 02:34:15,333
more will be given,
2699
02:34:15,376 --> 02:34:17,683
but as for the one
who has nothing,
2700
02:34:17,726 --> 02:34:21,600
even what they have
will be taken away.
2701
02:34:21,643 --> 02:34:24,298
But those enemies of mine
who did not want me
2702
02:34:24,342 --> 02:34:26,213
to be king over them,
2703
02:34:26,257 --> 02:34:29,608
bring them here and kill them
in front of me.'"
2704
02:34:31,653 --> 02:34:34,961
After Jesus had said this,
he went on ahead,
2705
02:34:35,004 --> 02:34:37,006
going up to Jerusalem.
2706
02:34:37,050 --> 02:34:40,271
As he approached
Bethphage and Bethany
2707
02:34:40,314 --> 02:34:42,316
at the hill called
the Mount of Olives,
2708
02:34:42,360 --> 02:34:45,276
he sent two of his disciples,
saying to them,
2709
02:34:45,319 --> 02:34:47,060
"Go to the village
ahead of you,
2710
02:34:47,103 --> 02:34:50,585
and as you enter it, you will
find a colt tied there,
2711
02:34:50,629 --> 02:34:52,544
which no one has ever ridden.
2712
02:34:52,587 --> 02:34:55,547
Untie it and bring it here.
2713
02:34:55,590 --> 02:34:59,246
If anyone asks you,
'Why are you untying it?'
2714
02:34:59,290 --> 02:35:01,857
say, 'The Lord needs it.'"
2715
02:35:05,818 --> 02:35:08,821
Those who were sent ahead
went and found it
2716
02:35:08,864 --> 02:35:11,084
just as he had told them.
2717
02:35:11,127 --> 02:35:12,955
As they were untying
the colt,
2718
02:35:12,999 --> 02:35:15,175
its owners asked them,
2719
02:35:15,218 --> 02:35:17,351
"Why are you untying
the colt?"
2720
02:35:17,395 --> 02:35:20,615
They replied,
"The Lord needs it."
2721
02:35:24,271 --> 02:35:27,666
They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt
2722
02:35:27,709 --> 02:35:30,321
and put Jesus on it.
2723
02:35:30,364 --> 02:35:34,760
As he went along,
people spread their cloaks
on the road.
2724
02:35:34,803 --> 02:35:38,372
When he came near the place
where the road goes down
the Mount of Olives,
2725
02:35:38,416 --> 02:35:41,897
the whole crowd of disciples
began joyfully to praise God
2726
02:35:41,941 --> 02:35:46,554
in loud voices for all
the miracles they had seen,
2727
02:35:46,598 --> 02:35:50,906
"Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!
2728
02:35:50,950 --> 02:35:54,519
Peace in heaven
and glory in the highest!"
2729
02:35:57,435 --> 02:36:00,220
Some of the Pharisees
in the crowd said to Jesus,
2730
02:36:00,263 --> 02:36:04,311
"Teacher, rebuke
your disciples!"
2731
02:36:04,355 --> 02:36:08,794
"I tell you," he replied,
"if they keep quiet,
2732
02:36:08,837 --> 02:36:11,971
the stones will cry out."
2733
02:36:12,014 --> 02:36:15,366
As he approached Jerusalem
and saw the city,
2734
02:36:15,409 --> 02:36:21,372
he wept over it and said,
"If you, even you,
2735
02:36:21,415 --> 02:36:25,550
had only known on this day
what would bring you peace--
2736
02:36:25,593 --> 02:36:28,248
but now it is hidden
from your eyes.
2737
02:36:31,033 --> 02:36:33,688
The days will come upon you
when your enemies
2738
02:36:33,732 --> 02:36:37,170
will build an embankment
against you and encircle you
2739
02:36:37,213 --> 02:36:40,434
and hem you in
on every side.
2740
02:36:40,478 --> 02:36:42,218
They will dash you
to the ground,
2741
02:36:42,262 --> 02:36:45,178
you and the children
within your walls.
2742
02:36:45,221 --> 02:36:48,660
They will not leave
one stone on another,
2743
02:36:48,703 --> 02:36:50,531
because you did not
recognize the time
2744
02:36:50,575 --> 02:36:52,490
of God's coming to you."
2745
02:36:57,016 --> 02:36:59,366
When Jesus entered
the temple courts,
2746
02:36:59,410 --> 02:37:02,717
he began to drive out
those who were selling.
2747
02:37:02,761 --> 02:37:05,416
[ shouting in Aramaic ]
2748
02:37:29,570 --> 02:37:32,181
"It is written,"
he said to them,
2749
02:37:32,225 --> 02:37:35,054
"'My house will be
a house of prayer,'
2750
02:37:35,097 --> 02:37:37,665
but you have made it
a den of robbers."
2751
02:37:41,800 --> 02:37:44,455
Every day he was teaching
at the temple.
2752
02:37:44,498 --> 02:37:47,240
But the chief priests,
the teachers of the law
2753
02:37:47,283 --> 02:37:49,024
and the leaders
among the people
2754
02:37:49,068 --> 02:37:52,637
were trying to kill him.
2755
02:37:52,680 --> 02:37:55,117
Yet they could not find
any way to do it,
2756
02:37:55,161 --> 02:37:58,643
because all the people
hung on his words.
2757
02:38:01,167 --> 02:38:04,039
One day as Jesus
was teaching the people
2758
02:38:04,083 --> 02:38:05,345
in the temple courts
2759
02:38:05,388 --> 02:38:07,608
and proclaiming the good news,
2760
02:38:07,652 --> 02:38:10,219
the chief priests
and the teachers of the law,
2761
02:38:10,263 --> 02:38:14,354
together with the elders,
came up to him.
2762
02:38:14,397 --> 02:38:15,921
"Tell us
by what authority
2763
02:38:15,964 --> 02:38:18,532
you are doing these things,"
they said.
2764
02:38:18,576 --> 02:38:20,752
"Who gave you
this authority?"
2765
02:38:20,795 --> 02:38:24,886
He replied, "I will also
ask you a question.
2766
02:38:24,930 --> 02:38:27,106
Tell me,
John's baptism,
2767
02:38:27,149 --> 02:38:31,676
was it from heaven,
or of human origin?"
2768
02:38:31,719 --> 02:38:35,375
They discussed it
among themselves and said,
2769
02:38:35,418 --> 02:38:38,639
"If we say, 'From heaven,'
he will ask,
2770
02:38:38,683 --> 02:38:41,860
'Why didn't you
believe him?'
2771
02:38:41,903 --> 02:38:44,819
But if we say,
'Of human origin,'
2772
02:38:44,863 --> 02:38:46,647
all the people
will stone us,
2773
02:38:46,691 --> 02:38:49,998
because they are persuaded
that John was a prophet."
2774
02:38:50,042 --> 02:38:56,004
So they answered,
"We don't know where
it was from."
2775
02:38:56,048 --> 02:39:00,356
Jesus said, "Neither will I
tell you by what authority
2776
02:39:00,400 --> 02:39:02,707
I am doing these things."
2777
02:39:06,145 --> 02:39:09,583
He went on to tell
the people this parable,
2778
02:39:09,627 --> 02:39:14,196
"A man planted a vineyard,
rented it to some farmers
2779
02:39:14,240 --> 02:39:16,372
and went away
for a long time.
2780
02:39:19,898 --> 02:39:23,423
At harvest time he sent
a servant to the tenants
2781
02:39:23,466 --> 02:39:25,294
so they would give him
some of the fruit
2782
02:39:25,338 --> 02:39:26,992
of the vineyard.
2783
02:39:27,035 --> 02:39:28,602
But the tenants beat him
2784
02:39:28,646 --> 02:39:32,258
and sent him away
empty-handed.
2785
02:39:32,301 --> 02:39:35,827
He sent another servant,
but that one also they beat
2786
02:39:35,870 --> 02:39:39,482
and treated shamefully
and sent away empty-handed.
2787
02:39:42,007 --> 02:39:44,705
He sent still a third,
2788
02:39:44,749 --> 02:39:46,968
and they wounded him
and threw him out.
2789
02:39:50,015 --> 02:39:53,627
Then the owner of the vineyard said, 'What shall I do?
2790
02:39:53,671 --> 02:39:56,587
I will send my son,
whom I love,
2791
02:39:56,630 --> 02:39:58,589
perhaps they will
respect him.'
2792
02:40:01,417 --> 02:40:03,245
But when the tenants
saw him,
2793
02:40:03,289 --> 02:40:05,596
they talked
the matter over.
2794
02:40:05,639 --> 02:40:09,164
'This is the heir,'
they said.
2795
02:40:09,208 --> 02:40:12,777
'Let's kill him,
and the inheritance
will be ours.'
2796
02:40:17,477 --> 02:40:19,871
So they threw him
out of the vineyard
and killed him.
2797
02:40:23,222 --> 02:40:27,313
What then will the owner
of the vineyard do to them?
2798
02:40:27,356 --> 02:40:29,445
He will come and kill
those tenants
2799
02:40:29,489 --> 02:40:32,535
and give the vineyard
to others."
2800
02:40:32,579 --> 02:40:36,017
When the people heard this,
they said, "God forbid!"
2801
02:40:49,161 --> 02:40:51,903
Jesus looked directly
at them and asked,
2802
02:40:51,946 --> 02:40:55,036
"Then what is the meaning
of that which is written,
2803
02:40:55,080 --> 02:40:57,517
'The stone
the builders rejected
2804
02:40:57,560 --> 02:40:59,650
has become
the cornerstone'?
2805
02:41:01,739 --> 02:41:03,654
Everyone who falls
on that stone
2806
02:41:03,697 --> 02:41:05,656
will be broken to pieces,
2807
02:41:05,699 --> 02:41:10,269
anyone on whom it falls
will be crushed."
2808
02:41:10,312 --> 02:41:13,576
The teachers of the law
and the chief priests
2809
02:41:13,620 --> 02:41:16,318
looked for a way
to arrest him immediately,
2810
02:41:16,362 --> 02:41:17,842
because they knew
he had spoken
2811
02:41:17,885 --> 02:41:19,974
this parable against them.
2812
02:41:20,018 --> 02:41:22,498
But they were afraid
of the people.
2813
02:41:25,545 --> 02:41:27,155
Keeping a close
watch on him,
2814
02:41:27,199 --> 02:41:31,203
they sent spies,
who pretended to be sincere.
2815
02:41:31,246 --> 02:41:34,162
They hoped to catch Jesus
in something he said,
2816
02:41:34,206 --> 02:41:35,773
so that they might
hand him over
2817
02:41:35,816 --> 02:41:39,037
to the power and authority
of the governor.
2818
02:41:39,080 --> 02:41:41,387
So the spies
questioned him,
2819
02:41:41,430 --> 02:41:45,260
"Teacher,
we know that you speak
and teach what is right,
2820
02:41:45,304 --> 02:41:47,480
and that you do not
show partiality
2821
02:41:47,523 --> 02:41:50,526
but teach the way of God
in accordance with the truth.
2822
02:41:50,570 --> 02:41:55,662
Is it right for us to pay
taxes to Caesar or not?"
2823
02:41:55,706 --> 02:41:57,664
He saw through
their duplicity
2824
02:41:57,708 --> 02:42:01,537
and said to them,
"Show me a denarius.
2825
02:42:01,581 --> 02:42:04,236
Whose image and inscription
are on it?"
2826
02:42:04,279 --> 02:42:06,717
"Caesar's," they replied.
2827
02:42:06,760 --> 02:42:09,241
He said to them,
"Then give back to Caesar
2828
02:42:09,284 --> 02:42:13,201
what is Caesar's,
and to God what is God's."
2829
02:42:14,855 --> 02:42:16,465
They were unable
to trap him
2830
02:42:16,509 --> 02:42:19,642
in what he had said
there in public.
2831
02:42:19,686 --> 02:42:22,515
And astonished by his answer,
they became silent.
2832
02:42:30,349 --> 02:42:31,829
Some of the Sadducees,
2833
02:42:31,872 --> 02:42:33,656
who say there is
no resurrection,
2834
02:42:33,700 --> 02:42:36,442
came to Jesus
with a question.
2835
02:42:36,485 --> 02:42:39,532
"Teacher," they said,
"Moses wrote for us
2836
02:42:39,575 --> 02:42:41,099
that if a man's
brother dies
2837
02:42:41,142 --> 02:42:43,231
and leaves a wife
but no children,
2838
02:42:43,275 --> 02:42:45,146
the man
must marry the widow
2839
02:42:45,190 --> 02:42:48,106
and raise up offspring
for his brother.
2840
02:42:48,149 --> 02:42:50,325
Now there
were seven brothers.
2841
02:42:50,369 --> 02:42:53,589
The first one married a woman
and died childless.
2842
02:42:53,633 --> 02:42:57,463
The second and then
the third married her,
2843
02:42:57,506 --> 02:42:59,813
and in the same way
the seven died,
2844
02:42:59,857 --> 02:43:01,946
leaving no children.
2845
02:43:01,989 --> 02:43:04,687
Finally, the woman died, too.
2846
02:43:04,731 --> 02:43:08,343
Now then, at the resurrection
whose wife will she be,
2847
02:43:08,387 --> 02:43:11,477
since the seven
were married to her?"
2848
02:43:11,520 --> 02:43:15,307
Jesus replied,
"The people of this age marry
2849
02:43:15,350 --> 02:43:16,961
and are given in marriage.
2850
02:43:17,004 --> 02:43:18,963
But those who
are considered worthy
2851
02:43:19,006 --> 02:43:20,834
of taking part
in the age to come
2852
02:43:20,878 --> 02:43:23,445
and in the resurrection
from the dead
2853
02:43:23,489 --> 02:43:26,579
will neither marry
nor be given in marriage,
2854
02:43:26,622 --> 02:43:30,626
and they can no longer die,
for they are like the angels.
2855
02:43:30,670 --> 02:43:32,628
They are God's children,
2856
02:43:32,672 --> 02:43:35,893
since they are children
of the resurrection.
2857
02:43:35,936 --> 02:43:38,852
But in the account
of the burning bush,
2858
02:43:38,896 --> 02:43:41,899
even Moses showed
that the dead rise,
2859
02:43:41,942 --> 02:43:44,989
for he calls the Lord
'the God of Abraham,
2860
02:43:45,032 --> 02:43:47,687
and the God of Isaac,
and the God of Jacob.'
2861
02:43:47,730 --> 02:43:50,168
He is not the God
of the dead,
2862
02:43:50,211 --> 02:43:54,346
but of the living,
for to him all are alive."
2863
02:44:03,485 --> 02:44:06,967
Some of the teachers
of the law responded,
2864
02:44:07,011 --> 02:44:09,622
"Well said, teacher!"
2865
02:44:09,665 --> 02:44:14,583
And no one dared to ask him
any more questions.
2866
02:44:14,627 --> 02:44:17,891
Then Jesus said to them,
"Why is it said
2867
02:44:17,935 --> 02:44:20,633
that the Messiah
is the son of David?
2868
02:44:20,676 --> 02:44:23,897
David himself declares
in the Book of Psalms,
2869
02:44:23,941 --> 02:44:27,901
'The Lord said to my Lord,
"Sit at my right hand
2870
02:44:27,945 --> 02:44:32,819
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet."'
2871
02:44:32,863 --> 02:44:34,995
David calls him Lord.
2872
02:44:35,039 --> 02:44:38,781
How then can he be his son?"
2873
02:44:38,825 --> 02:44:40,392
While all the people
were listening,
2874
02:44:40,435 --> 02:44:42,263
Jesus said to his disciples,
2875
02:44:42,307 --> 02:44:46,180
"Beware of the teachers
of the law.
2876
02:44:46,224 --> 02:44:48,661
They like to walk around
in flowing robes
2877
02:44:48,704 --> 02:44:50,315
and love to be greeted
with respect
2878
02:44:50,358 --> 02:44:52,273
in the marketplaces
2879
02:44:52,317 --> 02:44:54,493
and have the most important
seats in the synagogues
2880
02:44:54,536 --> 02:44:58,105
and the places of honor
at banquets.
2881
02:44:58,149 --> 02:45:00,499
They devour widows' houses
2882
02:45:00,542 --> 02:45:03,850
and for a show
make lengthy prayers.
2883
02:45:05,591 --> 02:45:10,117
These men will be punished
most severely."
2884
02:45:23,261 --> 02:45:25,306
As Jesus looked up,
2885
02:45:25,350 --> 02:45:27,352
he saw the rich
putting their gifts
2886
02:45:27,395 --> 02:45:29,267
into the temple treasury.
2887
02:45:34,620 --> 02:45:39,059
He also saw a poor widow
put in two very small
copper coins.
2888
02:45:43,977 --> 02:45:46,675
"Truly I tell you,"
he said,
2889
02:45:46,719 --> 02:45:48,851
"this poor widow
has put in more
2890
02:45:48,895 --> 02:45:51,245
than all the others.
2891
02:45:51,289 --> 02:45:53,291
All these people
gave their gifts
2892
02:45:53,334 --> 02:45:56,120
out of their wealth,
2893
02:45:56,163 --> 02:45:58,949
but she out of her poverty
2894
02:45:58,992 --> 02:46:01,386
put in all she had
to live on."
2895
02:46:03,823 --> 02:46:05,694
Some of his disciples
were remarking
2896
02:46:05,738 --> 02:46:07,131
about how the temple
was adorned
2897
02:46:07,174 --> 02:46:09,785
with beautiful stones
and with gifts
2898
02:46:09,829 --> 02:46:11,613
dedicated to God.
2899
02:46:11,657 --> 02:46:15,661
But Jesus said,
"As for what you see here,
2900
02:46:15,704 --> 02:46:18,359
the time will come
when not one stone
2901
02:46:18,403 --> 02:46:21,884
will be left on another,
every one of them
2902
02:46:21,928 --> 02:46:24,409
will be thrown down."
2903
02:46:24,452 --> 02:46:25,758
"Teacher," they asked,
2904
02:46:25,801 --> 02:46:27,760
"when will these things
happen?
2905
02:46:27,803 --> 02:46:29,370
And what will be
the sign
2906
02:46:29,414 --> 02:46:31,764
that they are about
to take place?"
2907
02:46:31,807 --> 02:46:36,290
He replied,
"Watch out that you
are not deceived.
2908
02:46:36,334 --> 02:46:41,252
For many will come
in my name, claiming,
'I am he,'
2909
02:46:41,295 --> 02:46:42,993
and, 'The time is near.'
2910
02:46:45,386 --> 02:46:46,822
Do not follow them.
2911
02:46:46,866 --> 02:46:48,868
When you hear of wars
and uprisings,
2912
02:46:48,911 --> 02:46:51,914
do not be frightened.
2913
02:46:51,958 --> 02:46:54,395
These things
must happen first,
2914
02:46:54,439 --> 02:46:57,007
but the end will not come
right away."
2915
02:46:59,270 --> 02:47:00,749
Then he said to them,
2916
02:47:00,793 --> 02:47:03,404
"Nation will rise
against nation,
2917
02:47:03,448 --> 02:47:05,667
and kingdom
against kingdom.
2918
02:47:05,711 --> 02:47:07,669
There will be
great earthquakes,
2919
02:47:07,713 --> 02:47:10,585
famines and pestilences
in various places,
2920
02:47:10,629 --> 02:47:13,936
and fearful events
and great signs from heaven.
2921
02:47:13,980 --> 02:47:17,636
"But before all this,
they will seize you
2922
02:47:17,679 --> 02:47:20,073
and persecute you.
2923
02:47:20,117 --> 02:47:21,988
They will hand you
over to synagogues
2924
02:47:22,032 --> 02:47:24,469
and put you in prison,
2925
02:47:24,512 --> 02:47:27,211
and you will be brought
before kings and governors,
2926
02:47:27,254 --> 02:47:29,561
and all on account
of my name.
2927
02:47:31,432 --> 02:47:36,611
And so you will bear
testimony to me.
2928
02:47:36,655 --> 02:47:39,745
But make up your mind
not to worry beforehand
2929
02:47:39,788 --> 02:47:42,922
how you will defend
yourselves.
2930
02:47:42,965 --> 02:47:45,577
For I will give you
words and wisdom
2931
02:47:45,620 --> 02:47:46,969
that none
of your adversaries
2932
02:47:47,013 --> 02:47:50,234
will be able to resist
or contradict.
2933
02:47:50,277 --> 02:47:52,453
You will be betrayed
even by parents,
2934
02:47:52,497 --> 02:47:55,674
brothers and sisters,
relatives and friends,
2935
02:47:55,717 --> 02:47:59,286
and they will put
some of you to death.
2936
02:47:59,330 --> 02:48:04,117
Everyone will hate you
because of me.
2937
02:48:04,161 --> 02:48:06,989
But not a hair
of your head will perish.
2938
02:48:07,033 --> 02:48:12,038
Stand firm,
and you will win life.
2939
02:48:12,082 --> 02:48:15,433
"When you see Jerusalem
being surrounded by armies,
2940
02:48:15,476 --> 02:48:20,090
you will know that
its desolation is near.
2941
02:48:20,133 --> 02:48:21,961
Then let those
who are in Judea
2942
02:48:22,004 --> 02:48:23,832
flee to the mountains,
2943
02:48:23,876 --> 02:48:25,617
let those in the city
get out,
2944
02:48:25,660 --> 02:48:28,837
and let those in the country
not enter the city.
2945
02:48:32,928 --> 02:48:36,497
For this is the time
of punishment
2946
02:48:36,541 --> 02:48:41,154
in fulfillment of all
that has been written.
2947
02:48:41,198 --> 02:48:43,156
How dreadful it will be
in those days
2948
02:48:43,200 --> 02:48:46,420
for pregnant women
and nursing mothers!
2949
02:48:46,464 --> 02:48:49,206
There will be great
distress in the land
2950
02:48:49,249 --> 02:48:54,167
and wrath
against this people.
2951
02:48:54,211 --> 02:48:56,343
They will fall by the sword
2952
02:48:56,387 --> 02:48:59,999
and will be taken
as prisoners to all
the nations.
2953
02:49:00,042 --> 02:49:02,958
Jerusalem
will be trampled on
by the Gentiles
2954
02:49:03,002 --> 02:49:05,439
until the times
of the Gentiles
2955
02:49:05,483 --> 02:49:07,920
are fulfilled.
2956
02:49:07,963 --> 02:49:12,185
There will be signs
in the sun, moon and stars.
2957
02:49:12,229 --> 02:49:16,320
On the earth,
nations will be in anguish
and perplexity
2958
02:49:16,363 --> 02:49:18,844
at the roaring
and tossing of the sea.
2959
02:49:18,887 --> 02:49:20,933
People will faint
from terror,
2960
02:49:20,976 --> 02:49:23,196
apprehensive of what
is coming on the world,
2961
02:49:23,240 --> 02:49:25,851
for the heavenly bodies
will be shaken.
2962
02:49:28,810 --> 02:49:32,074
At that time they will see
the Son of Man
2963
02:49:32,118 --> 02:49:36,166
coming in a cloud with power
and great glory.
2964
02:49:36,209 --> 02:49:39,212
When these things
begin to take place,
2965
02:49:39,256 --> 02:49:42,346
stand up and lift up
your heads,
2966
02:49:42,389 --> 02:49:47,655
because your redemption
is drawing near."
2967
02:49:47,699 --> 02:49:50,223
He told them this parable,
2968
02:49:50,267 --> 02:49:53,966
"Look at the fig tree
and all the trees.
2969
02:49:54,009 --> 02:49:57,187
When they sprout leaves,
you can see for yourselves
2970
02:49:57,230 --> 02:50:00,059
and know that summer
is near.
2971
02:50:00,102 --> 02:50:02,975
Even so, when you see
these things happening,
2972
02:50:03,018 --> 02:50:07,284
you know that the kingdom
of God is near.
2973
02:50:07,327 --> 02:50:10,156
Truly I tell you,
this generation
2974
02:50:10,200 --> 02:50:12,158
will certainly
not pass away
2975
02:50:12,202 --> 02:50:15,553
until all these things
have happened.
2976
02:50:15,596 --> 02:50:17,816
Heaven and earth
will pass away,
2977
02:50:17,859 --> 02:50:22,603
but my words
will never pass away.
2978
02:50:22,647 --> 02:50:26,128
Be careful, or your hearts
will be weighed down
2979
02:50:26,172 --> 02:50:30,829
with carousing, drunkenness
and the anxieties of life,
2980
02:50:30,872 --> 02:50:34,615
and that day will close
on you suddenly
like a trap.
2981
02:50:36,095 --> 02:50:37,662
For it will come
on all those
2982
02:50:37,705 --> 02:50:41,492
who live on the face
of the whole earth.
2983
02:50:41,535 --> 02:50:43,494
Be always on the watch,
2984
02:50:43,537 --> 02:50:46,932
and pray that you
may be able to escape
2985
02:50:46,975 --> 02:50:51,110
all that is
about to happen,
2986
02:50:51,153 --> 02:50:53,852
and that you may
be able to stand
2987
02:50:53,895 --> 02:50:55,897
before the Son of Man."
2988
02:51:04,254 --> 02:51:07,692
Each day Jesus was teaching
at the temple,
2989
02:51:07,735 --> 02:51:10,651
and each evening he went out
to spend the night
2990
02:51:10,695 --> 02:51:13,175
on the hill called
the Mount of Olives,
2991
02:51:13,219 --> 02:51:15,265
and all the people
came early in the morning
2992
02:51:15,308 --> 02:51:18,311
to hear him
at the temple.
2993
02:51:18,355 --> 02:51:20,661
Now the Festival
of Unleavened Bread,
2994
02:51:20,705 --> 02:51:23,229
called the Passover,
was approaching,
2995
02:51:23,273 --> 02:51:25,971
and the chief priests
and the teachers of the law
2996
02:51:26,014 --> 02:51:28,974
were looking for some way
to get rid of Jesus,
2997
02:51:29,017 --> 02:51:31,063
for they were afraid
of the people.
2998
02:51:31,106 --> 02:51:34,327
Then Satan entered Judas,
2999
02:51:34,371 --> 02:51:37,939
called Iscariot,
one of the Twelve.
3000
02:51:37,983 --> 02:51:39,811
And Judas
went to the chief priests
3001
02:51:39,854 --> 02:51:41,682
and the officers
of the temple guard
3002
02:51:41,726 --> 02:51:46,165
and discussed with them
how he might betray Jesus.
3003
02:51:46,208 --> 02:51:49,690
They were delighted
and agreed to give him money.
3004
02:51:49,734 --> 02:51:52,432
He consented, and watched
for an opportunity
3005
02:51:52,476 --> 02:51:56,654
to hand Jesus over to them
when no crowd was present.
3006
02:51:59,744 --> 02:52:02,137
Then came the day
of Unleavened Bread
3007
02:52:02,181 --> 02:52:08,143
on which the Passover lamb
had to be sacrificed.
3008
02:52:08,187 --> 02:52:10,363
Jesus sent
Peter and John, saying,
3009
02:52:10,407 --> 02:52:14,672
"Go and make preparations
for us to eat the Passover."
3010
02:52:14,715 --> 02:52:18,110
"Where do you want us
to prepare for it?",
they asked.
3011
02:52:18,153 --> 02:52:21,331
He replied,
"As you enter the city,
3012
02:52:21,374 --> 02:52:24,986
a man carrying a jar
of water will meet you.
3013
02:52:25,030 --> 02:52:26,858
Follow him to the house
that he enters,
3014
02:52:26,901 --> 02:52:28,860
and say to the owner
of the house,
3015
02:52:28,903 --> 02:52:31,993
'The Teacher asks,
"Where is the guest room,
3016
02:52:32,037 --> 02:52:35,432
where I may eat the Passover
with my disciples?"'
3017
02:52:35,475 --> 02:52:39,697
He will show you a large room
upstairs, all furnished.
3018
02:52:39,740 --> 02:52:42,264
Make preparations there."
3019
02:52:42,308 --> 02:52:47,269
They left and found things
just as Jesus had told them.
3020
02:52:47,313 --> 02:52:49,620
So they prepared
the Passover.
3021
02:52:55,539 --> 02:52:58,455
When the hour came,
Jesus and his apostles
3022
02:52:58,498 --> 02:53:00,195
reclined at the table.
3023
02:53:04,765 --> 02:53:08,900
And he said to them,
"I have eagerly desired
3024
02:53:08,943 --> 02:53:13,121
to eat this Passover
with you before I suffer.
3025
02:53:13,165 --> 02:53:15,341
For I tell you,
I will not eat it again
3026
02:53:15,385 --> 02:53:18,997
until it finds fulfillment
in the kingdom of God."
3027
02:53:23,697 --> 02:53:27,397
After taking the cup,
he gave thanks and said,
3028
02:53:30,487 --> 02:53:33,446
"Take this
and divide it among you.
3029
02:53:36,493 --> 02:53:40,105
For I tell you
I will not drink again
from the fruit of the vine
3030
02:53:40,148 --> 02:53:42,499
until the kingdom
of God comes."
3031
02:53:48,679 --> 02:53:52,552
And he took bread,
gave thanks and broke it,
3032
02:53:54,685 --> 02:53:57,688
and gave it to them,
saying,
3033
02:53:57,731 --> 02:54:00,299
"This is my body
given for you,
3034
02:54:03,389 --> 02:54:06,305
do this
in remembrance of me."
3035
02:54:08,916 --> 02:54:11,353
In the same way,
after the supper
3036
02:54:11,397 --> 02:54:14,095
he took the cup,
saying,
3037
02:54:14,139 --> 02:54:17,969
"This cup is the new
covenant in my blood,
3038
02:54:18,012 --> 02:54:20,928
which is poured out for you.
3039
02:54:20,972 --> 02:54:24,149
But the hand of him
who is going to betray me
3040
02:54:24,192 --> 02:54:26,804
is with mine on the table.
3041
02:54:29,676 --> 02:54:33,158
The Son of Man will go
as it has been decreed.
3042
02:54:33,201 --> 02:54:37,945
But woe to that man
who betrays him!"
3043
02:54:37,989 --> 02:54:40,295
They began to question
among themselves
3044
02:54:40,339 --> 02:54:43,864
which of them it might be
who would do this.
3045
02:54:43,908 --> 02:54:46,084
A dispute also arose
among them
3046
02:54:46,127 --> 02:54:50,784
as to which of them was considered to be greatest.
3047
02:54:50,828 --> 02:54:54,571
Jesus said to them,
"The kings of the Gentiles
3048
02:54:54,614 --> 02:54:56,703
lord it over them,
3049
02:54:56,747 --> 02:54:59,314
and those who exercise
authority over them
3050
02:54:59,358 --> 02:55:02,056
call themselves
Benefactors.
3051
02:55:02,100 --> 02:55:03,971
But you are not
to be like that.
3052
02:55:04,015 --> 02:55:06,626
Instead, the greatest
among you
3053
02:55:06,670 --> 02:55:08,541
should be like
the youngest,
3054
02:55:08,585 --> 02:55:12,197
and the one who rules
like the one who serves.
3055
02:55:12,240 --> 02:55:15,722
For who is greater,
the one who is at the table
3056
02:55:15,766 --> 02:55:17,724
or the one who serves?
3057
02:55:17,768 --> 02:55:20,858
Is it not the one
who is at the table?
3058
02:55:20,901 --> 02:55:23,948
But I am among you
as one who serves.
3059
02:55:28,082 --> 02:55:32,565
You are those who have
stood by me in my trials.
3060
02:55:32,609 --> 02:55:34,524
And I confer
on you a kingdom,
3061
02:55:37,570 --> 02:55:42,096
just as my Father
conferred one on me,
3062
02:55:42,140 --> 02:55:44,838
so that you may eat
and drink at my table
3063
02:55:44,882 --> 02:55:48,581
in my kingdom
and sit on thrones,
3064
02:55:48,625 --> 02:55:51,497
judging the twelve
tribes of Israel.
3065
02:55:53,934 --> 02:55:56,937
Simon, Simon,
3066
02:55:56,981 --> 02:56:02,116
Satan has asked to sift
all of you as wheat.
3067
02:56:02,160 --> 02:56:07,948
But I have prayed for you,
Simon, that your faith
may not fail.
3068
02:56:07,992 --> 02:56:09,733
And when you
have turned back,
3069
02:56:09,776 --> 02:56:11,691
strengthen your brothers."
3070
02:56:15,913 --> 02:56:20,047
But he replied,
"Lord, I am ready to go
3071
02:56:20,091 --> 02:56:23,050
with you to prison
and to death."
3072
02:56:23,094 --> 02:56:26,140
Jesus answered,
"I tell you, Peter,
3073
02:56:26,184 --> 02:56:28,926
before the rooster
crows today,
3074
02:56:28,969 --> 02:56:33,408
you will deny three times
that you know me."
3075
02:56:33,452 --> 02:56:35,628
Then Jesus asked them,
3076
02:56:35,672 --> 02:56:37,630
"When I sent you
without purse,
3077
02:56:37,674 --> 02:56:41,460
bag or sandals,
did you lack anything?"
3078
02:56:41,503 --> 02:56:45,246
"Nothing," they answered.
3079
02:56:45,290 --> 02:56:46,944
He said to them,
3080
02:56:46,987 --> 02:56:49,990
"But now if you have
a purse,
3081
02:56:50,034 --> 02:56:53,951
take it, and also a bag,
3082
02:56:53,994 --> 02:56:55,822
and if you don't
have a sword,
3083
02:56:55,866 --> 02:56:58,172
sell your cloak
and buy one.
3084
02:57:01,654 --> 02:57:06,398
It is written,
'And he was numbered
with the transgressors,'
3085
02:57:06,441 --> 02:57:10,445
and I tell you that this
must be fulfilled in me.
3086
02:57:10,489 --> 02:57:12,796
Yes, what is written
about me
3087
02:57:12,839 --> 02:57:15,755
is reaching
its fulfillment."
3088
02:57:15,799 --> 02:57:17,757
The disciples said,
3089
02:57:17,801 --> 02:57:20,542
"See, Lord,
here are two swords."
3090
02:57:20,586 --> 02:57:22,806
"That's enough!",
he replied.
3091
02:57:31,162 --> 02:57:33,773
Jesus went out as usual
to the Mount of Olives,
3092
02:57:33,817 --> 02:57:35,688
and his disciples
followed him.
3093
02:57:37,647 --> 02:57:39,953
On reaching the place,
he said to them,
3094
02:57:39,997 --> 02:57:42,826
"Pray that you will
not fall into temptation."
3095
02:57:47,265 --> 02:57:50,224
He withdrew
about a stone's throw
beyond them,
3096
02:57:50,268 --> 02:57:52,357
knelt down and prayed,
3097
02:57:56,056 --> 02:57:59,190
"Father,
if you are willing,
3098
02:57:59,233 --> 02:58:01,322
take this cup from me,
3099
02:58:01,366 --> 02:58:04,717
yet not my will,
but yours be done."
3100
02:58:12,072 --> 02:58:14,118
An angel from heaven
appeared to him
3101
02:58:14,161 --> 02:58:15,859
and strengthened him.
3102
02:58:15,902 --> 02:58:18,731
And being in anguish,
he prayed more earnestly,
3103
02:58:18,775 --> 02:58:20,777
and his sweat
was like drops of blood
3104
02:58:20,820 --> 02:58:22,300
falling to the ground.
3105
02:58:28,045 --> 02:58:29,524
And when he rose
from prayer
3106
02:58:29,568 --> 02:58:31,265
and went back
to the disciples,
3107
02:58:31,309 --> 02:58:35,356
he found them asleep,
exhausted from sorrow.
3108
02:58:35,400 --> 02:58:38,664
"Why are you sleeping?",
he asked them.
3109
02:58:38,708 --> 02:58:40,710
"Get up and pray
3110
02:58:40,753 --> 02:58:44,714
so that you will not
fall into temptation."
3111
02:58:44,757 --> 02:58:48,587
While he was still speaking
a crowd came up,
3112
02:58:48,630 --> 02:58:50,676
and the man
who was called Judas,
3113
02:58:50,720 --> 02:58:52,983
one of the Twelve,
was leading them.
3114
02:58:56,769 --> 02:58:59,163
He approached Jesus
to kiss him,
3115
02:59:01,774 --> 02:59:06,170
but Jesus asked him,
"Judas, are you betraying
3116
02:59:06,213 --> 02:59:08,781
the Son of Man
with a kiss?"
3117
02:59:13,090 --> 02:59:15,570
When Jesus' followers
saw what was going to happen,
3118
02:59:15,614 --> 02:59:19,444
they said, "Lord, should we
strike with our swords?"
3119
02:59:22,012 --> 02:59:24,666
And one of them struck the servant of the high priest,
3120
02:59:24,710 --> 02:59:26,538
cutting off his right ear.
3121
02:59:32,239 --> 02:59:35,242
But Jesus answered,
"No more of this!"
3122
02:59:46,253 --> 02:59:48,821
And he touched the man's ear
and healed him.
3123
02:59:59,440 --> 03:00:01,834
Then Jesus said
to the chief priests,
3124
03:00:01,878 --> 03:00:03,314
the officers
of the temple guard,
3125
03:00:03,357 --> 03:00:05,751
and the elders,
who had come for him,
3126
03:00:05,795 --> 03:00:08,014
"Am I leading a rebellion,
3127
03:00:08,058 --> 03:00:10,800
that you have come
with swords and clubs?
3128
03:00:13,498 --> 03:00:16,980
Every day I was with you
in the temple courts,
3129
03:00:17,023 --> 03:00:20,374
and you did not lay
a hand on me.
3130
03:00:20,418 --> 03:00:22,376
But this is your hour--
3131
03:00:22,420 --> 03:00:24,596
when darkness reigns."
3132
03:00:28,905 --> 03:00:31,385
Then seizing him,
they led him away
3133
03:00:31,429 --> 03:00:33,866
and took him into the house
of the high priest.
3134
03:00:39,350 --> 03:00:41,656
Peter followed
at a distance.
3135
03:00:41,700 --> 03:00:43,745
And when some there
had kindled a fire
3136
03:00:43,789 --> 03:00:45,573
in the middle
of the courtyard
3137
03:00:45,617 --> 03:00:48,794
and had sat down together,
Peter sat down with them.
3138
03:00:50,622 --> 03:00:52,319
A servant girl
saw him seated there
3139
03:00:52,363 --> 03:00:53,886
in the firelight.
3140
03:00:53,930 --> 03:00:56,106
She looked closely
at him and said,
3141
03:00:56,149 --> 03:00:58,499
"This man was with him."
3142
03:00:58,543 --> 03:01:00,240
But he denied it.
3143
03:01:00,284 --> 03:01:02,764
"Woman, I don't know him,"
he said.
3144
03:01:06,377 --> 03:01:08,858
A little later someone else
saw him and said,
3145
03:01:08,901 --> 03:01:11,425
"You also are one of them."
3146
03:01:11,469 --> 03:01:15,777
"Man, I am not!",
Peter replied.
3147
03:01:15,821 --> 03:01:18,171
About an hour later
another asserted,
3148
03:01:18,215 --> 03:01:20,217
"Certainly this fellow
was with him,
3149
03:01:20,260 --> 03:01:22,567
for he is a Galilean."
3150
03:01:22,610 --> 03:01:27,441
Peter replied,
"Man, I don't know
what you're talking about!"
3151
03:01:27,485 --> 03:01:31,706
Just as he was speaking,
the rooster crowed.
3152
03:01:31,750 --> 03:01:35,536
The Lord turned and looked
straight at Peter.
3153
03:01:35,580 --> 03:01:38,931
Then Peter remembered the word the Lord had spoken to him,
3154
03:01:38,975 --> 03:01:41,151
"Before the rooster
crows today,
3155
03:01:41,194 --> 03:01:43,501
you will disown me
three times."
3156
03:01:43,544 --> 03:01:46,286
And he went outside
and wept bitterly.
3157
03:01:51,683 --> 03:01:53,598
The men
who were guarding Jesus
3158
03:01:53,641 --> 03:01:55,556
began mocking
and beating him.
3159
03:01:55,600 --> 03:01:58,429
They blindfolded him
and demanded,
3160
03:01:58,472 --> 03:02:01,606
"Prophesy! Who hit you?"
3161
03:02:01,649 --> 03:02:04,217
And they said many other
insulting things to him.
3162
03:02:08,918 --> 03:02:12,356
At daybreak the council
of the elders of the people,
3163
03:02:12,399 --> 03:02:15,272
both the chief priests
and the teachers of the law,
3164
03:02:15,315 --> 03:02:18,144
met together, and Jesus
was led before them.
3165
03:02:20,451 --> 03:02:24,803
"If you are the Messiah,"
they said, "tell us."
3166
03:02:24,846 --> 03:02:28,328
Jesus answered,
"If I tell you,
3167
03:02:28,372 --> 03:02:30,548
you will not believe me,
3168
03:02:30,591 --> 03:02:34,421
and if I asked you,
you would not answer.
3169
03:02:34,465 --> 03:02:36,858
But from now on,
the Son of Man
3170
03:02:36,902 --> 03:02:38,817
will be seated
at the right hand
3171
03:02:38,860 --> 03:02:40,950
of the mighty God."
3172
03:02:42,734 --> 03:02:44,127
They all asked,
3173
03:02:44,170 --> 03:02:48,392
"Are you then
the Son of God?"
3174
03:02:48,435 --> 03:02:53,571
He replied,
"You say that I am."
3175
03:02:53,614 --> 03:02:56,269
Then they said,
"Why do we need
3176
03:02:56,313 --> 03:02:57,923
any more testimony?
3177
03:02:57,967 --> 03:03:01,144
We have heard it
from his own lips."
3178
03:03:10,718 --> 03:03:15,114
Then the whole assembly rose
and led him off to Pilate.
3179
03:03:16,724 --> 03:03:19,118
And they began
to accuse him, saying,
3180
03:03:19,162 --> 03:03:21,991
"We have found this man
subverting our nation.
3181
03:03:22,034 --> 03:03:24,210
He opposes payment
of taxes to Caesar
3182
03:03:24,254 --> 03:03:28,040
and claims to be Messiah,
a king."
3183
03:03:28,084 --> 03:03:30,695
So Pilate asked Jesus,
3184
03:03:30,738 --> 03:03:33,350
"Are you the king
of the Jews?"
3185
03:03:33,393 --> 03:03:37,310
"You have said so,"
Jesus replied.
3186
03:03:37,354 --> 03:03:40,444
Then Pilate announced
to the chief priests
and the crowd,
3187
03:03:40,487 --> 03:03:44,796
"I find no basis for
a charge against this man."
3188
03:03:44,839 --> 03:03:47,494
But they insisted,
"He stirs up the people
3189
03:03:47,538 --> 03:03:49,757
all over Judea
by his teaching.
3190
03:03:49,801 --> 03:03:51,150
He started in Galilee
3191
03:03:51,194 --> 03:03:54,110
and has come
all the way here."
3192
03:03:54,153 --> 03:03:58,462
On hearing this,
Pilate asked if the man
was a Galilean.
3193
03:03:58,505 --> 03:04:01,552
When he learned that Jesus
was under Herod's
jurisdiction,
3194
03:04:01,595 --> 03:04:05,556
he sent him to Herod,
who was also in Jerusalem
at that time.
3195
03:04:07,819 --> 03:04:12,432
When Herod saw Jesus,
he was greatly pleased,
3196
03:04:12,476 --> 03:04:14,565
because for a long time
3197
03:04:14,608 --> 03:04:17,742
he had been wanting
to see him.
3198
03:04:17,785 --> 03:04:19,961
From what he had
heard about him,
3199
03:04:20,005 --> 03:04:23,530
he hoped to see him perform
a sign of some sort.
3200
03:04:23,574 --> 03:04:25,358
He plied him
with many questions,
3201
03:04:25,402 --> 03:04:28,579
but Jesus gave him
no answer.
3202
03:04:28,622 --> 03:04:30,494
The chief priests
and the teachers of the law
3203
03:04:30,537 --> 03:04:35,281
were standing there,
vehemently accusing him.
3204
03:04:35,325 --> 03:04:38,850
Then Herod and his soldiers
ridiculed and mocked him.
3205
03:04:42,201 --> 03:04:44,116
Dressing him
in an elegant robe,
3206
03:04:44,160 --> 03:04:46,597
they sent him back
to Pilate.
3207
03:04:51,471 --> 03:04:55,475
That day Herod and Pilate
became friends--
3208
03:04:55,519 --> 03:04:59,175
before this
they had been enemies.
3209
03:04:59,218 --> 03:05:01,568
Pilate called together
the chief priests,
3210
03:05:01,612 --> 03:05:05,355
the rulers and the people,
and said to them,
3211
03:05:05,398 --> 03:05:08,097
"You brought me this man
as one who was inciting
3212
03:05:08,140 --> 03:05:10,099
the people to rebellion.
3213
03:05:10,142 --> 03:05:12,710
I have examined him
in your presence
3214
03:05:12,753 --> 03:05:16,583
and have found no basis
for your charges against him.
3215
03:05:16,627 --> 03:05:21,240
Neither has Herod,
for he sent him back to us,
3216
03:05:21,284 --> 03:05:25,244
as you can see, he has done
nothing to deserve death.
3217
03:05:25,288 --> 03:05:30,380
Therefore, I will punish him
and then release him."
3218
03:05:30,423 --> 03:05:34,166
But the whole crowd shouted,
"Away with this man!
3219
03:05:34,210 --> 03:05:37,082
Release Barabbas to us!"
3220
03:05:37,126 --> 03:05:39,084
Barabbas had been thrown
into prison
3221
03:05:39,128 --> 03:05:40,781
for an insurrection
in the city
3222
03:05:40,825 --> 03:05:43,088
and for murder.
3223
03:05:43,132 --> 03:05:45,221
Wanting to release Jesus,
3224
03:05:45,264 --> 03:05:48,398
Pilate appealed
to them again.
3225
03:05:48,441 --> 03:05:52,402
But they kept shouting,
"Crucify him!
3226
03:05:52,445 --> 03:05:55,187
Crucify him!"
3227
03:05:55,231 --> 03:05:59,104
For the third time
he spoke to them, "Why?
3228
03:05:59,148 --> 03:06:01,976
What crime has this man
committed?
3229
03:06:02,020 --> 03:06:04,022
I have found in him
no grounds
3230
03:06:04,065 --> 03:06:07,025
for the death penalty.
3231
03:06:07,068 --> 03:06:09,114
Therefore I will
have him punished
3232
03:06:09,158 --> 03:06:10,855
and then release him."
3233
03:06:14,163 --> 03:06:17,209
But with loud shouts
they insistently demanded
3234
03:06:17,253 --> 03:06:19,820
that he be crucified,
and their shouts prevailed.
3235
03:06:22,867 --> 03:06:27,480
So Pilate decided
to grant their demand.
3236
03:06:27,524 --> 03:06:29,874
He released the man who had
been thrown into prison
3237
03:06:29,917 --> 03:06:32,224
for insurrection and murder,
3238
03:06:32,268 --> 03:06:34,008
the one they asked for,
3239
03:06:34,052 --> 03:06:37,360
and surrendered Jesus
to their will.
3240
03:06:40,580 --> 03:06:42,408
[ whip cracks ]
3241
03:06:56,379 --> 03:06:58,598
As the soldiers
led him away,
3242
03:06:58,642 --> 03:07:01,253
they seized Simon
from Cyrene,
3243
03:07:01,297 --> 03:07:02,994
who was on his way in
from the country,
3244
03:07:03,037 --> 03:07:04,517
and put the cross on him
3245
03:07:04,561 --> 03:07:07,607
and made him carry it
behind Jesus.
3246
03:07:07,651 --> 03:07:09,870
A large number of people
followed him,
3247
03:07:09,914 --> 03:07:13,613
including women who mourned
and wailed for him.
3248
03:07:13,657 --> 03:07:16,225
Jesus turned
and said to them,
3249
03:07:16,268 --> 03:07:18,270
"Daughters of Jerusalem,
3250
03:07:18,314 --> 03:07:20,490
do not weep for me,
3251
03:07:20,533 --> 03:07:24,015
weep for yourselves
and for your children.
3252
03:07:24,058 --> 03:07:26,887
For the time will come
when you will say,
3253
03:07:26,931 --> 03:07:29,281
'Blessed
are the childless women,
3254
03:07:29,325 --> 03:07:31,370
the wombs that never bore
3255
03:07:31,414 --> 03:07:34,243
and the breasts
that never nursed!'
3256
03:07:34,286 --> 03:07:37,594
Then they will say
to the mountains,
3257
03:07:37,637 --> 03:07:39,291
'Fall on us!'
3258
03:07:39,335 --> 03:07:42,163
And to the hills,
'Cover us!'
3259
03:07:43,730 --> 03:07:45,515
For if people
do these things
3260
03:07:45,558 --> 03:07:47,517
when the tree is green,
3261
03:07:47,560 --> 03:07:49,954
what will happen
when it is dry?"
3262
03:07:52,652 --> 03:07:54,654
Two other men,
both criminals,
3263
03:07:54,698 --> 03:07:57,266
were also led out with him
to be executed.
3264
03:08:02,662 --> 03:08:03,663
[ whip cracks ]
3265
03:08:16,763 --> 03:08:20,289
[ muted jeering ]
3266
03:08:35,173 --> 03:08:38,437
When they came to the place
called the Skull,
3267
03:08:38,481 --> 03:08:40,004
they crucified him there,
3268
03:08:40,047 --> 03:08:42,528
along with the criminals--
3269
03:08:42,572 --> 03:08:46,097
one on his right,
the other on his left.
3270
03:08:52,451 --> 03:08:56,150
Jesus said,
"Father, forgive them,
3271
03:08:56,194 --> 03:09:01,025
for they do not know
what they are doing."
3272
03:09:01,068 --> 03:09:04,855
And they divided up
his clothes by casting lots.
3273
03:09:06,117 --> 03:09:07,771
The people stood watching,
3274
03:09:07,814 --> 03:09:10,034
and the rulers
even sneered at him.
3275
03:09:10,077 --> 03:09:12,166
They said,
"He saved others,
3276
03:09:12,210 --> 03:09:15,866
let him save himself
if he is God's Messiah,
3277
03:09:15,909 --> 03:09:17,520
the Chosen One."
3278
03:09:24,265 --> 03:09:26,355
The soldiers also came up
and mocked him.
3279
03:09:26,398 --> 03:09:28,835
They offered him
wine vinegar and said,
3280
03:09:28,879 --> 03:09:34,711
"If you are
the king of the Jews,
save yourself."
3281
03:09:34,754 --> 03:09:36,974
There was a written notice
above him, which read,
3282
03:09:37,017 --> 03:09:40,630
"This is the king
of the Jews."
3283
03:09:40,673 --> 03:09:42,414
One of the criminals
who hung there
3284
03:09:42,458 --> 03:09:44,895
hurled insults at him,
3285
03:09:44,938 --> 03:09:46,766
"Aren't you the Messiah?
3286
03:09:46,810 --> 03:09:50,335
Save yourself and us!"
3287
03:09:50,379 --> 03:09:53,164
But the other criminal
rebuked him.
3288
03:09:53,207 --> 03:09:55,558
"Don't you fear God,"
he said,
3289
03:09:55,601 --> 03:09:58,256
"since you are under
the same sentence?
3290
03:09:58,299 --> 03:10:00,650
We are punished justly,
3291
03:10:00,693 --> 03:10:03,435
for we are getting
what our deeds deserve.
3292
03:10:03,479 --> 03:10:06,090
But this man has done
nothing wrong."
3293
03:10:06,133 --> 03:10:10,703
Then he said,
"Jesus, remember me
3294
03:10:10,747 --> 03:10:13,750
when you come
into your kingdom."
3295
03:10:13,793 --> 03:10:17,797
Jesus answered him,
"Truly I tell you,
3296
03:10:17,841 --> 03:10:22,193
today you will be with me
in paradise."
3297
03:10:23,760 --> 03:10:25,718
It was now about noon,
3298
03:10:25,762 --> 03:10:27,590
and darkness
came over the whole land
3299
03:10:27,633 --> 03:10:30,288
until three
in the afternoon,
3300
03:10:30,331 --> 03:10:32,812
for the sun
stopped shining.
3301
03:10:34,379 --> 03:10:35,728
And the curtain
of the temple
3302
03:10:35,772 --> 03:10:37,774
was torn in two.
3303
03:10:43,519 --> 03:10:48,828
Jesus called out
with a loud voice,
3304
03:10:48,872 --> 03:10:53,529
"Father, into your hands
I commit my spirit."
3305
03:11:00,144 --> 03:11:03,277
When he had said this,
he breathed his last.
3306
03:11:16,290 --> 03:11:19,163
The centurion,
seeing what had happened,
3307
03:11:19,206 --> 03:11:20,947
praised God and said,
3308
03:11:20,991 --> 03:11:25,604
"Surely this
was a righteous man."
3309
03:11:25,648 --> 03:11:27,345
When all the people
who had gathered
3310
03:11:27,388 --> 03:11:30,522
to witness this sight
saw what took place,
3311
03:11:30,566 --> 03:11:34,091
they beat their breasts
and went away.
3312
03:11:34,134 --> 03:11:36,223
But all those
who knew him,
3313
03:11:36,267 --> 03:11:39,400
including the women
who had followed him
from Galilee,
3314
03:11:39,444 --> 03:11:42,316
stood at a distance
watching these things.
3315
03:11:53,589 --> 03:11:55,591
Now there was a man
named Joseph,
3316
03:11:55,634 --> 03:11:58,594
a member of the Council,
a good and upright man,
3317
03:11:58,637 --> 03:12:01,771
who had not consented
to their decision and action.
3318
03:12:01,814 --> 03:12:04,948
He came from the Judean town
of Arimathea,
3319
03:12:04,991 --> 03:12:08,517
and he himself was waiting
for the kingdom of God.
3320
03:12:08,560 --> 03:12:11,520
Going to Pilate,
he asked for Jesus' body.
3321
03:12:18,222 --> 03:12:21,051
Then he took it down,
3322
03:12:21,094 --> 03:12:24,097
wrapped it in linen cloth
3323
03:12:24,141 --> 03:12:27,536
and placed it in a tomb
cut in the rock,
3324
03:12:27,579 --> 03:12:30,060
one in which no one
had yet been laid.
3325
03:12:44,553 --> 03:12:46,250
It was Preparation Day,
3326
03:12:46,293 --> 03:12:49,688
and the Sabbath
was about to begin.
3327
03:12:49,732 --> 03:12:52,299
The women who had come
with Jesus from Galilee
3328
03:12:52,343 --> 03:12:54,563
followed Joseph
and saw the tomb
3329
03:12:54,606 --> 03:12:56,782
and how his body
was laid in it.
3330
03:12:56,826 --> 03:13:01,352
Then they went home
and prepared spices
and perfumes.
3331
03:13:01,395 --> 03:13:03,006
But they rested
on the Sabbath
3332
03:13:03,049 --> 03:13:05,095
in obedience
to the commandment.
3333
03:13:09,012 --> 03:13:10,622
On the first day
of the week,
3334
03:13:10,666 --> 03:13:12,581
very early in the morning,
3335
03:13:12,624 --> 03:13:14,974
the women took the spices
they had prepared
3336
03:13:15,018 --> 03:13:16,976
and went to the tomb.
3337
03:13:17,020 --> 03:13:22,678
They found the stone
rolled away from the tomb,
3338
03:13:22,721 --> 03:13:25,637
but when they entered,
they did not find the body
3339
03:13:25,681 --> 03:13:27,987
of the Lord Jesus.
3340
03:13:28,031 --> 03:13:29,946
While they were
wondering about this,
3341
03:13:29,989 --> 03:13:33,514
suddenly two men in clothes
that gleamed like lightning
3342
03:13:33,558 --> 03:13:38,215
stood beside them.
3343
03:13:38,258 --> 03:13:40,652
In their fright
the women bowed down
3344
03:13:40,696 --> 03:13:42,436
with their faces
to the ground,
3345
03:13:42,480 --> 03:13:45,439
but the men said to them,
"Why do you look
3346
03:13:45,483 --> 03:13:47,833
for the living
among the dead?
3347
03:13:47,877 --> 03:13:52,055
He is not here,
he has risen!
3348
03:13:52,098 --> 03:13:54,144
Remember how he told you,
3349
03:13:54,187 --> 03:13:57,016
while he was still
with you in Galilee,
3350
03:13:57,060 --> 03:13:59,453
'The Son of Man
must be delivered
3351
03:13:59,497 --> 03:14:02,631
over to the hands
of sinners, be crucified,
3352
03:14:02,674 --> 03:14:06,112
and on the third day
be raised again.'"
3353
03:14:06,156 --> 03:14:08,288
Then they remembered
his words.
3354
03:14:12,292 --> 03:14:14,468
When they came back
from the tomb,
3355
03:14:14,512 --> 03:14:16,557
they told all these things
to the Eleven
3356
03:14:16,601 --> 03:14:18,037
and to all the others.
3357
03:14:18,081 --> 03:14:19,473
It was Mary Magdalene,
3358
03:14:19,517 --> 03:14:22,346
Joanna, Mary the mother
of James,
3359
03:14:22,389 --> 03:14:24,348
and the others with them
who told this
3360
03:14:24,391 --> 03:14:26,176
to the apostles.
3361
03:14:26,219 --> 03:14:28,352
But they did not
believe the women,
3362
03:14:28,395 --> 03:14:31,137
because their words
seemed to them like nonsense.
3363
03:14:34,532 --> 03:14:37,666
Peter, however, got up
and ran to the tomb.
3364
03:14:42,975 --> 03:14:46,979
Bending over,
he saw the strips of linen
lying by themselves,
3365
03:14:50,679 --> 03:14:52,855
and he went away,
wondering to himself
3366
03:14:52,898 --> 03:14:56,206
what had happened.
3367
03:14:56,249 --> 03:15:00,514
Now that same day
two of them were going
to a village called Emmaus,
3368
03:15:00,558 --> 03:15:05,084
about seven miles
from Jerusalem.
3369
03:15:05,128 --> 03:15:06,564
They were talking
with each other
3370
03:15:06,607 --> 03:15:08,305
about everything
that had happened.
3371
03:15:10,742 --> 03:15:13,223
As they talked and discussed
these things with each other,
3372
03:15:13,266 --> 03:15:18,358
Jesus himself came up
and walked along with them,
3373
03:15:18,402 --> 03:15:22,145
but they were kept
from recognizing him.
3374
03:15:22,188 --> 03:15:25,148
He asked them, "What are you
discussing together
3375
03:15:25,191 --> 03:15:27,019
as you walk along?"
3376
03:15:27,063 --> 03:15:29,935
They stood still,
their faces downcast.
3377
03:15:32,416 --> 03:15:34,635
One of them, named Cleopas,
3378
03:15:34,679 --> 03:15:38,161
asked him,
"Are you the only one
visiting Jerusalem
3379
03:15:38,204 --> 03:15:42,121
who does not know the things
that have happened there
in these days?"
3380
03:15:42,165 --> 03:15:44,254
"What things?" he asked.
3381
03:15:44,297 --> 03:15:47,692
"About Jesus of Nazareth,"
they replied.
3382
03:15:47,736 --> 03:15:50,651
"He was a prophet,
powerful in word and deed
3383
03:15:50,695 --> 03:15:53,306
before God
and all the people.
3384
03:15:53,350 --> 03:15:55,569
The chief priests
and our rulers
3385
03:15:55,613 --> 03:15:58,616
handed him over
to be sentenced to death
3386
03:15:58,659 --> 03:16:00,661
and they crucified him,
3387
03:16:00,705 --> 03:16:03,142
but we had hoped
that he was the one
3388
03:16:03,186 --> 03:16:05,405
who was going
to redeem Israel.
3389
03:16:07,930 --> 03:16:10,497
And what is more,
it is the third day
3390
03:16:10,541 --> 03:16:13,065
since all this took place.
3391
03:16:13,109 --> 03:16:16,199
In addition,
some of our women amazed us.
3392
03:16:16,242 --> 03:16:18,679
They went to the tomb
early this morning
3393
03:16:18,723 --> 03:16:20,333
but didn't find his body.
3394
03:16:20,377 --> 03:16:22,292
They came and told us
that they had seen
3395
03:16:22,335 --> 03:16:26,035
a vision of angels,
who said he was alive.
3396
03:16:26,078 --> 03:16:28,907
Then some of our companions
went to the tomb
3397
03:16:28,951 --> 03:16:31,518
and found it
just as the women had said,
3398
03:16:31,562 --> 03:16:33,651
but they did not
see Jesus."
3399
03:16:37,176 --> 03:16:40,049
He said to them,
"How foolish you are...
3400
03:16:43,704 --> 03:16:47,012
and how slow to believe
all that the prophets
have spoken!
3401
03:16:50,102 --> 03:16:52,713
Did not the Messiah
have to suffer these things
3402
03:16:52,757 --> 03:16:55,107
and then enter his glory?"
3403
03:16:55,151 --> 03:16:58,154
And beginning with Moses
and all the Prophets,
3404
03:16:58,197 --> 03:17:00,243
he explained to them
what was said
3405
03:17:00,286 --> 03:17:03,028
in all the Scriptures
concerning himself.
3406
03:17:08,077 --> 03:17:09,208
As they approached
the village
3407
03:17:09,252 --> 03:17:10,906
to which they were going,
3408
03:17:10,949 --> 03:17:14,518
Jesus continued on
as if he were going farther.
3409
03:17:14,561 --> 03:17:17,129
But they urged him strongly,
3410
03:17:17,173 --> 03:17:19,915
"Stay with us,
for it is nearly evening,
3411
03:17:19,958 --> 03:17:22,265
the day is almost over."
3412
03:17:22,308 --> 03:17:24,310
So he went in
to stay with them.
3413
03:17:32,362 --> 03:17:34,930
When he was at the table
with them,
3414
03:17:34,973 --> 03:17:39,412
he took bread,
gave thanks,
3415
03:17:39,456 --> 03:17:41,327
broke it,
3416
03:17:41,371 --> 03:17:43,373
and began
to give it to them.
3417
03:17:52,425 --> 03:17:54,688
Then their eyes
were opened
3418
03:17:54,732 --> 03:17:58,083
and they recognized him,
3419
03:17:58,127 --> 03:18:00,825
and he disappeared
from their sight.
3420
03:18:05,525 --> 03:18:07,919
They asked each other,
3421
03:18:07,963 --> 03:18:10,182
"Were not our hearts
burning within us
3422
03:18:10,226 --> 03:18:12,010
while he talked with us
on the road
3423
03:18:12,054 --> 03:18:14,404
and opened
the Scriptures to us?"
3424
03:18:16,885 --> 03:18:20,889
They got up and returned
at once to Jerusalem.
3425
03:18:20,932 --> 03:18:24,022
There they found the Eleven
and those with them,
3426
03:18:24,066 --> 03:18:27,460
assembled together
and saying, "It is true!
3427
03:18:27,504 --> 03:18:31,987
The Lord has risen
and has appeared to Simon."
3428
03:18:32,030 --> 03:18:34,728
Then the two told
what had happened on the way,
3429
03:18:34,772 --> 03:18:36,861
and how Jesus
was recognized by them
3430
03:18:36,905 --> 03:18:38,602
when he broke the bread.
3431
03:19:04,019 --> 03:19:06,760
While they were still
talking about this,
3432
03:19:06,804 --> 03:19:08,458
Jesus himself
stood among them
3433
03:19:08,501 --> 03:19:10,982
and said to them,
3434
03:19:11,026 --> 03:19:14,377
"Peace be with you."
3435
03:19:14,420 --> 03:19:16,509
They were startled
and frightened,
3436
03:19:16,553 --> 03:19:19,599
thinking they saw a ghost.
3437
03:19:19,643 --> 03:19:22,994
He said to them,
"Why are you troubled,
3438
03:19:23,038 --> 03:19:26,606
and why do doubts rise
in your minds?
3439
03:19:26,650 --> 03:19:30,610
Look at my hands
and my feet.
3440
03:19:30,654 --> 03:19:32,961
It is I myself!
3441
03:19:33,004 --> 03:19:34,919
Touch me and see,
3442
03:19:34,963 --> 03:19:38,140
a ghost does not have
flesh and bones,
3443
03:19:38,183 --> 03:19:40,272
as you see I have."
3444
03:19:40,316 --> 03:19:41,795
When he had said this,
3445
03:19:41,839 --> 03:19:44,537
he showed them
his hands and feet.
3446
03:19:44,581 --> 03:19:46,322
And while they still
did not believe it
3447
03:19:46,365 --> 03:19:48,498
because of joy
and amazement,
3448
03:19:48,541 --> 03:19:52,981
he asked them, "Do you have
anything here to eat?"
3449
03:19:54,983 --> 03:19:58,334
They gave him a piece
of broiled fish,
3450
03:19:58,377 --> 03:20:01,119
and he took it and ate it
in their presence.
3451
03:20:03,034 --> 03:20:06,124
He said to them,
"This is what I told you
3452
03:20:06,168 --> 03:20:08,431
while I was still with you,
3453
03:20:08,474 --> 03:20:11,825
everything must be fulfilled
that is written about me
3454
03:20:11,869 --> 03:20:13,958
in the Law of Moses,
3455
03:20:14,002 --> 03:20:17,918
the Prophets and the Psalms."
3456
03:20:17,962 --> 03:20:21,139
Then he opened their minds
so they could understand
3457
03:20:21,183 --> 03:20:22,793
the Scriptures.
3458
03:20:22,836 --> 03:20:26,536
He told them,
"This is what is written,
3459
03:20:26,579 --> 03:20:30,061
the Messiah will suffer
and rise from the dead
3460
03:20:30,105 --> 03:20:32,237
on the third day,
3461
03:20:32,281 --> 03:20:35,632
and repentance
for the forgiveness of sins
3462
03:20:35,675 --> 03:20:38,809
will be preached in his name
to all nations,
3463
03:20:38,852 --> 03:20:40,811
beginning at Jerusalem.
3464
03:20:44,945 --> 03:20:47,774
You are witnesses
of these things.
3465
03:20:50,560 --> 03:20:54,129
I am going to send you
what my Father has promised,
3466
03:20:55,913 --> 03:20:57,958
but stay in the city
3467
03:20:58,002 --> 03:21:01,397
until you have been clothed
with power from on high."
3468
03:21:10,667 --> 03:21:13,800
When he had led them out
to the vicinity of Bethany,
3469
03:21:13,844 --> 03:21:16,629
he lifted up his hands
and blessed them.
3470
03:21:20,851 --> 03:21:22,722
While he was blessing them,
3471
03:21:22,766 --> 03:21:25,899
he left them
and was taken up into heaven.
3472
03:21:43,003 --> 03:21:45,136
Then they worshiped him
3473
03:21:45,180 --> 03:21:49,401
and returned to Jerusalem
with great joy.
3474
03:21:49,445 --> 03:21:52,317
And they stayed continually
at the temple,
3475
03:21:52,361 --> 03:21:53,753
praising God.
