01:31Give me grace amidst the storms of adversity and the blasts of persecution and misfortune, to fly for refuge to
01:39you alone, to seek you, to call upon you.

03:23Praise, honor, and glory be to you, O Christ, who did not refuse to come to the River Jordan and
03:29be baptized there by your servant John.
03:33May you thoroughly cleanse me by your merits in this life, that freed from all vices and sins, I may
03:42be filled with the love of you and long for my heavenly country.
03:47Make me, I beg you, before my soul quits this body, pleasing to you in all things, that, departing from
03:55this life, I may be forever in heaven with you, to see you, to enjoy you, and to praise your
04:02holy name forever and ever.
04:06Praise, honor, and glory be to you, O Christ, who for our sake dwelt in the wilderness amongst the wild
04:13beasts, and fasted and watched in prayer for forty days and forty nights, permitting yourself to be tempted by the
04:21devil, whom you overcame when angels came and ministered to you.
04:26Grant me grace to discipline, overcome, and bring into subjection my sinful flesh with its evil affections.
04:37Give me grace to be instant in prayer and all other spiritual exercises, and grant that with your continual help
04:45I may completely overcome sins of gluttony and may escape the snares and schemes of the devil.
04:54Let no temptations, I beg you, defile me, nor separate me from you, but may they rather purify me and
05:02unite and join me with you.
05:06Praise, honor, and glory be to you, O Christ, who gave himself up to preach repentance, to call to you
05:14disciples, and from them choose the twelve apostles to be the special heralds of the faith,
05:19gathering together, gathering together the children of God that were scattered abroad.
05:24Draw me after you, and powerfully excite my heart to love you.
05:30Do not permit me to neglect the grace with which you called me, but make me ready to despise the
05:37world and all perishable things, following you, taking your humility and charity as my example.
05:43Give me grace to look for you alone, and with earnest longing to sigh continually after you. Amen.
05:56O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall sing your praise.
06:07O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall sing your praise.
06:38O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall sing your praise.
06:57O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall sing your praise.
07:05O Lord, open our lips, and our hearts shall sing your praise.
07:12O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall sing your praise.
07:19O Lord, open our lips, and fun—
07:22O Lord, open our lips, and with pleasure to drink Metal by Gr grains, may—
07:25Set thou a holy man to be good, O God, by him, and let Satan stand at his right hand.
07:40When Satan's evil upon him let him be good, O God, by him, and let his bread be turned into
07:54sin.
07:56Let his faith be few, and let another take his office.
08:08Let his children be blessed, and his wife are made.
08:19Let his children be vagabond, and make their bread.
08:26Let them seek it also out of desolate places.
08:34Let the extortion consume all that we have,
08:41And let a stranger scorn his neighbor.
08:49Let there be no man to be dear,
08:55For to have the mature among his fatherless children.
09:04Let his prosperity be destroyed.
09:10And in the next generation let his name leave thee, put out.
09:20Let the wickedness of his father's fear and repentance
09:26In the sight of her love,
09:31And let none of the sin of his love be done away.
09:39Let them know they be before the Lord,
09:45That he may root at the memorial of the crown of the earth.
09:55And that because his time was not suitable,
10:02But persecuted the poor, helpless man,
10:08That he might slay him that was bent at the heart.
10:14His delight was incursing, and it shall have order to live.
10:23He loved and blessed him,
10:27Therefore shall it be far from me.
10:33He loved himself with cursing,
10:39Like that river hailed,
10:43And he shall come into his bounds like water,
10:48And lie in glory into his arms.
10:53Let it be unto him as the cloak that he hath upon me,
11:03And as the girdle that he hath upon me,
11:13And as the girdle that he hath upon me,
11:21And to those that see me through the depths of my soul.
11:32But still thou with me, O Lord God,
11:37But calling unto thy name,
11:42What sweet is thy bounding,
11:47O deliver thee,
11:51For I am helpless and low,
11:57And thy heart is wounded within me.
12:05By the heavens like the shadow that departed,
12:13And the river the way as the cross above,
12:22My knees are with you fasting,
12:27My flesh is dry,
12:32For want of sadness.
12:36I became once over in your wounds,
12:42And to them,
12:45They that looked upon me shaped their heads.
12:53And the Lord,
12:57And the Lord,
12:57My God,
13:00For save me,
13:03And for him to thy mercy,
13:08And make shalom,
13:11For that grace is thy hand,
13:16And that the heart of God,
13:21And the Lord should be blessed.
13:26Lord may thou ask yet bless thou,
13:33And let them be part of God,
13:36And not rise up against me,
13:39But let thy servant rejoice,
13:44Let thy handless end it be to this day.

16:43he was amazed at him
16:44he turned and said to the crowd that followed
16:47I tell you not even in Israel
16:49have I found such faith
16:53and so when those who had been sent
16:55returned to the house
16:56they found the slave well
17:02soon afterwards
17:03Jesus went to a little town called Nain
17:05and his disciples
17:07and a large crowd went with him
17:11as he approached the town gate
17:12a man who had died was being carried out
17:15the only son of his mother
17:17who was a widow
17:18and a large crowd from the town
17:21was with her
17:23when the Lord saw her
17:24he had compassion for her and said
17:27do not weep
17:29and he came
17:30and touched the bier
17:33and those who carried it
17:35stood still
17:35he said young man
17:38I say to you get up
17:41and so the dead man set up
17:43and began to speak
17:44and Jesus gave him back to his mother
17:49fear seized them all
17:50and they began to glorify God
17:52saying a great prophet
17:54has appeared among us
17:55and God has come to help his people
18:00this report about Jesus
18:01circulated throughout Judea
18:03and all the surrounding country
18:08John's disciples informed him
18:10about these things
18:11and so John called
18:13two of his disciples
18:14and sent them to Jesus
18:15to ask
18:16are you the one who is to come
18:19or should we look for another
18:23when the men who came to Jesus
18:27said
18:27John the Baptist
18:29has sent us to ask you
18:31are you the one who is to come
18:32or should we look for another
18:36and at that time
18:37Jesus cured many people of diseases
18:40sicknesses and evil spirits
18:41granting sight to many who were blind
18:44and so he answered them saying
18:46go
18:47tell John what you have seen and heard
18:50the blind see the lame walk
18:53lepers are cleansed
18:55the deaf hear
18:56the dead are raised
18:58and the poor have the good news
19:00proclaimed to them
19:02blessed is anyone who takes no offence at me
19:08when John's messengers had gone
19:10Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John
19:13what did you go out into the wilderness to see
19:17a reed shaken by the wind
19:20what did you go out to see
19:22a man dressed in soft clothing
19:25look
19:25those who wear soft clothing
19:27and live in luxury
19:28are in the royal palaces
19:31what did you go out to see
19:35a prophet
19:37yes I tell you
19:38and more than a prophet
19:39for this is the one about whom it is written
19:42look
19:43I send my messenger ahead of you
19:45who will prepare your way before you
19:50I tell you among those born of women
19:52none is greater than John
19:55and yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God
19:58is greater than he
20:02now all who heard this
20:04even the tax collectors
20:05acknowledged God's justice
20:08because they had been baptized with John's baptism
20:13however the Pharisees and the experts in religious law
20:16rejected God's purpose for themselves
20:20because they had not been baptized by John
20:25to then
20:26to what then should I compare the people of this generation
20:30what are they like
20:33they are like the children sitting in the marketplace
20:36and calling out to one another
20:38we played the flute for you
20:40yet you did not dance
20:42we wailed in the morning
20:45and yet you did not weep
20:49for John the Baptist has come
20:51eating no bread and drinking no wine
20:53and you say
20:53he is a demon
20:57and the son of man has come eating and drinking
20:59and you say to him
21:00look at him
21:02a glutton and a drunk
21:03a friend of tax collectors and sinners
21:08but wisdom is vindicated by all her children
21:14now one of the Pharisees had asked Jesus
21:16to have dinner with him
21:18and so he went into the Pharisee's house
21:21and took his place at the table
21:24and when a woman of that town
21:26who was a sinner
21:27learnt that Jesus was dining at the Pharisee's house
21:30she brought an alabaster jar of perfumed oil
21:35as she stood behind him at his feet weeping
21:37she began to wet his feet with her tears
21:41and she wiped them with her hair
21:43kissing them
21:44and anointing them with the perfumed oil
21:49now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this
21:52he said to himself
21:53now if this man were a prophet
21:55he would know
21:56who and what kind of woman
21:58this is who touches him
21:59that she is a sinner
22:03so Jesus answered him
22:05Simon I have something to say to you
22:09he replied
22:10say it teacher
22:13a certain creditor had two debtors
22:16one who owed him 500 coins
22:18and the other 50
22:21when they could not pay
22:22he cancelled the debts of both
22:25now which of them will love him more
22:29Simon answered
22:30I suppose the one
22:32who had the bigger debt cancelled
22:35Jesus said to him
22:36you have judged rightly
22:40then he turned toward the woman
22:42and said to Simon
22:43do you see this woman
22:45I entered your house
22:47you gave me no water for my feet
22:49but she has wet my feet with her tears
22:52and wiped them with her hair
22:55you gave me no kiss of greeting
22:57but from the moment I entered
22:59she has not stopped kissing my feet
23:03you did not anoint my head with oil
23:05but she has anointed my feet with perfumed oil
23:12therefore I tell you
23:14her sins
23:14which were indeed many
23:16are forgiven
23:18thus she loved much
23:20but the one who is forgiven little
23:22loves little
23:25then Jesus said to her
23:28your sins are forgiven
23:31but those who were at the table with him
23:33began to say amongst themselves
23:35who is this
23:36who even forgives sins
23:40he said to the woman
23:41your faith has saved you
23:43go in peace
23:47this is the word of the Lord
23:49thanks be to God
24:00as we come to chapter 7
24:02in St Luke's Gospel
24:03we find him giving us
24:05a series of events
24:07miracles that took place
24:09in the life of Jesus
24:14the Roman centurions
24:15were special men
24:16they are mentioned
24:18several times
24:19in the scriptures
24:20and always in a favourable light
24:24they were always
24:25it seems
24:26outstanding men
24:28we remember the Roman centurion
24:30in Cornelius
24:31in Caesarea
24:33it was while he was in prayer
24:35that the Lord spoke to him
24:37and commanded
24:38he sent his servants
24:40to Joppa
24:41in order to fetch Peter
24:43and to teach them
24:44the way of the Lord
24:45more completely
24:47and so it was
24:49in the Roman centurion's house
24:51in Caesarea
24:52that the gospel was first preached
24:54to the Gentiles
24:55and the outpouring
24:57of the Holy Spirit upon him
24:59his house
25:00and all those
25:01who were with him
25:03as God began
25:05his work among
25:05the Gentiles
25:06actually in the house
25:08of a Roman centurion
25:12and so they are mentioned
25:14several times
25:14in the scriptures
25:15in a kind
25:16and favourable light
25:21our centurion of today
25:22in Capernaum
25:24was declared
25:24to be a worthy person
25:26by the Jewish leaders
25:27who came to Jesus
25:29on his behalf
25:32they said that
25:33he was worthy
25:33for whom
25:34he should do this
25:37this is interesting
25:38because the Jewish people
25:39even to this day
25:40and I am certain
25:42that it doesn't have
25:43its roots
25:44in the New Testament
25:45but to the present day
25:47they have awards
25:48that they give
25:49to worthy people
25:50and it is a phrase
25:51that they use
25:52today
25:55I haven't yet
25:57found out
25:59exactly what it is
26:00but I think
26:01it is good
26:03but it is a title
26:04they still give
26:05for people
26:05who have
26:06and I suppose
26:08it's for a person
26:09outside the Jewish faith
26:10who has shown
26:11kindness
26:12and consideration
26:13to the Jews
26:15and such was the case
26:16with the Roman centurion
26:19he had built
26:20a synagogue
26:21for them
26:21and he loved
26:22their nation
26:23and having this
26:24as his credentials
26:25the Jewish leaders
26:26came and asked
26:27Jesus to do
26:28the favour for him
26:29by healing
26:31his servant
26:33it was unusual
26:35for a master
26:36to have a close
26:37relationship
26:37with his servant
26:39servants
26:40in the Roman Empire
26:41had no rights
26:42whatsoever
26:44there was
26:45a Roman writer
26:46who said
26:46that every year
26:47a man should
26:48take stock
26:49of his possessions
26:49and hold on
26:51to that which
26:52still produced
26:52and was of benefit
26:53and get rid
26:55of that which
26:55was no longer
26:56productive
26:58and including
26:59in that getting
27:00rid of
27:00was that
27:02of a slave
27:04who was no longer
27:05capable of doing
27:06a full day's work
27:08and so when he
27:09got to that point
27:10he would be put
27:11out into the street
27:12and left to die
27:13for he had
27:15no other recourse
27:17the slave
27:18was such a part
27:19of possession
27:21of his master
27:22that in the
27:23Roman Empire
27:23a master
27:25could put his
27:25slave to death
27:26and not face
27:27any charges
27:27for it
27:29after all
27:30you were merely
27:31destroying
27:32your own property
27:34so for him
27:35to have this
27:36attitude to a
27:36slave was
27:37most unusual
27:39and it does
27:40show that he
27:41is one of those
27:41men above
27:42the ordinary
27:44he loved the
27:45slave very much
27:46and was concerned
27:47because he was
27:48almost dead
27:51now the
27:52commendation
27:53that the Jewish
27:53leaders had given
27:54to Jesus
27:55is this
27:56the man
27:57is worthy
28:00as he answers
28:01or responds
28:02when he finds out
28:03that Jesus
28:03is getting close
28:04to his house
28:05sending his
28:06friends saying
28:07I am not
28:08worthy that
28:09you should
28:09come under
28:10my roof
28:16neither
28:16do I think
28:17myself worthy
28:18to come
28:19to you
28:22in those
28:22days
28:23it was
28:25unlawful
28:25for a Jew
28:26to enter
28:26the house
28:27of a Gentile
28:29he knew
28:30that for
28:30Jesus to
28:31come into
28:32his house
28:32would put
28:33a strain
28:34upon Jesus
28:37when Peter
28:38entered the
28:39house of
28:39Cornelius
28:40he apologized
28:41for so doing
28:43he had taken
28:44some Jewish
28:44friends with him
28:45from Joppa
28:45and he apologized
28:48he said
28:49you know
28:49it isn't
28:50lawful
28:50for me
28:51to assemble
28:51with you
28:52to come
28:52to this
28:53house
28:53but the
28:54Lord told
28:54me not
28:54to ask
28:55questions
28:55so here
28:56I am
28:57what may
28:58I do
28:58for you
29:01he was
29:02apologizing
29:02for entering
29:04into the
29:04house
29:04of a Gentile
29:05because it
29:06was forbidden
29:07to the Jew
29:10and so
29:11the centurion
29:12is saying
29:12to Jesus
29:13I am not
29:14worthy
29:14that you
29:15should come
29:15under my
29:16roof
29:16I didn't
29:17even think
29:18I was
29:18worthy
29:19to come
29:19to you
29:25it is
29:25interesting
29:26when we
29:26remember
29:27the woman
29:27from the
29:28area of
29:28Sidon
29:29who came
29:29to Jesus
29:30concerning
29:30her daughter
29:32who said
29:33that she
29:33was vexed
29:34by a devil
29:35and Jesus
29:36did not
29:36answer
29:40the disciples
29:41had said
29:42Lord
29:42do something
29:43for her
29:44for she's
29:44bugging us
29:45she's driving
29:46us crazy
29:48and Jesus
29:49had replied
29:49it isn't
29:51right to
29:51give the
29:52children's
29:52bread
29:52to the
29:53dogs
29:56now
29:57Jesus
29:57was declaring
29:58that these
29:58benefits
29:59that he was
30:00bringing
30:00were for
30:01the Jews
30:03the centurion
30:04didn't feel
30:04worthy to
30:05come to
30:05Jesus
30:06and ask
30:07that Jesus
30:07even come
30:10and I
30:11was sort
30:11of embarrassed
30:12that Jesus
30:12was coming
30:13but then he
30:13made a
30:14remarkable
30:15statement
30:16he said
30:17just say
30:19the word
30:19you don't
30:20have to
30:21come
30:21for I'm
30:22not worthy
30:22that you
30:23do come
30:23just say
30:25the word
30:25and my
30:25servant
30:26will be
30:26healed
30:27for I
30:27understand
30:28authority
30:31I am a
30:32man who
30:32is under
30:33authority
30:33and I
30:34have under
30:34me
30:35soldiers
30:35I
30:36understand
30:37what
30:37authority
30:37is about
30:43among
30:44the Jews
30:44to whom
30:45he came
30:45Jesus
30:47saw
30:47little
30:48faith
30:49certainly
30:50not as
30:50much
30:51as he
30:51saw
30:52in this
30:53centurion
30:58now
30:58all this
30:59happened
30:59in
31:00Capernaum
31:02Nain
31:03where the
31:04next story
31:05in today's
31:06gospel
31:06occurs
31:07is about
31:0825 miles
31:09further
31:10from
31:10Capernaum
31:12and the
31:13picture that
31:13the evangelist
31:15paints
31:16could not
31:17be more
31:17pathetic
31:19a woman
31:20who was a
31:20widow
31:21following the
31:22procession
31:23as her
31:23only son
31:24is carried
31:25out to be
31:26buried
31:29now in those
31:30days they did
31:31not have
31:31caskets
31:32they usually
31:33carried the
31:34dead body
31:34in a
31:35basket
31:35and then
31:36put them
31:36into some
31:37form of
31:38sarcophagus
31:40the word
31:41sarcophagus
31:42from the
31:42latin means
31:43flesh
31:44eater
31:45and they
31:46have these
31:46limestone
31:47sarcophaguses
31:48in Israel
31:50in fact you
31:51can see them
31:52in excavations
31:53where they
31:54dig for
31:55buildings
31:55and roads
31:58they uncover
31:59them and
32:00they just
32:00leave them
32:00there set
32:01on their
32:01sides
32:01and you
32:02can find
32:03them
32:03everywhere
32:06with the
32:07limestone
32:07the flesh
32:09is eaten
32:09very rapidly
32:12in fact
32:13within a
32:14month or
32:14so and
32:14so the
32:15name
32:15sarcophagus
32:16flesh eater
32:17is appropriate
32:21they would
32:22usually place
32:23them in the
32:24sarcophagus
32:24until only
32:26the bones
32:26were left
32:27and then
32:27they would
32:27bury the
32:28bones
32:30and so
32:31as he was
32:32being carried
32:32probably in
32:33the basket
32:34to the
32:35place of
32:35burial
32:36either a
32:37cave or
32:38sarcophagus
32:39and the
32:40mother with
32:41the crowd
32:41the sad
32:42pathetic
32:42scene
32:44and they
32:45didn't just
32:46weep
32:46they wailed
32:48and Jesus
32:49had compassion
32:50on her
32:53in the
32:53Greek
32:53there is no
32:54word that
32:54is more
32:55expressive
32:56of a
32:56feeling of
32:56sympathy
32:57than the
32:58word that
32:58we have
32:59used here
32:59translated
33:01compassion
33:04it is
33:04used many
33:05times by
33:06Jesus
33:06and it
33:07is the
33:08strongest
33:08Greek
33:09word
33:09that
33:10expresses
33:10the
33:11deepest
33:11kind
33:11of
33:11feeling
33:12toward
33:12the
33:12person
33:14Jesus
33:15had
33:16compassion
33:17on her
33:18and said
33:19weep
33:19not
33:23and we
33:24read
33:24in verses
33:2514 to
33:2516
33:26he came
33:27and touched
33:28the basket
33:29and they
33:30that bore
33:30it stood
33:31still
33:31and he
33:32said
33:32young man
33:33I say
33:33to you
33:33arise
33:35and the
33:36one who
33:36was dead
33:37sat up
33:38and began
33:38to speak
33:39and Jesus
33:40delivered him
33:41to his
33:41mother
33:42and a
33:43great fear
33:43came upon
33:44them all
33:45they glorified
33:47God saying
33:47that a
33:48great prophet
33:49is risen
33:50up amongst
33:51us
33:51and God
33:52has visited
33:53his people
33:58this term
33:59God has
34:00visited
34:01his people
34:02if you go
34:03back to the
34:03first chapter
34:04at the birth
34:05of John
34:06the Baptist
34:06when God
34:07opened the
34:07mouth of
34:08Zacharias
34:08his father
34:09he began
34:10to prophesy
34:11and some
34:12of the first
34:13words that he
34:14prophesied
34:14back there
34:15in chapter
34:15one
34:16where
34:17blessed
34:18be the
34:18Lord God
34:19of Israel
34:19for he
34:20has visited
34:21his people
34:24and so
34:25here the
34:25people are
34:26declaring
34:26God
34:27has visited
34:28his people
34:30the fulfillment
34:31of the
34:32prophecy
34:32of Zacharias
34:35and so
34:36the story
34:37went
34:38throughout
34:38all
34:39Judea
34:40St.
34:40Luke tells
34:41us
34:41in verse
34:4117
34:45now Judea
34:46is to
34:46the south
34:47of Maine
34:48some
34:4960 to
34:5070 miles
34:51so this
34:52story
34:52spread really
34:53concerning
34:54this man
34:56who had
34:57dead
34:58and brought
34:59back to
34:59life
34:59by Jesus
35:01and throughout
35:02all the
35:03regions there
35:04were around
35:04the Galilee
35:05of the
35:06disciples of
35:07John
35:07told John
35:08about these
35:09things
35:10and John
35:11called to
35:12him
35:12two of
35:13the
35:13disciples
35:14and he
35:14sent them
35:14to Jesus
35:16to ask
35:16are you
35:17the one
35:17that is
35:17to come
35:18or should
35:19we look
35:19for another
35:21and when
35:21the men
35:22came they
35:22said
35:23John
35:23the Baptist
35:24has sent
35:24us
35:25to ask
35:26you
35:26are you
35:27the one
35:28that should
35:28come
35:29or should
35:29we look
35:30for another
35:32you read
35:33in verses
35:3317 to
35:3420
35:39now in
35:40John's
35:40gospel
35:41he tells
35:42us quite
35:42clearly
35:43that when
35:43John saw
35:44the spirit
35:44of God
35:45descending
35:45upon
35:46Jesus
35:46that he
35:48knew
35:48that he
35:49was the
35:49Messiah
35:50for the
35:51Lord told
35:52him
35:52that upon
35:53whomever
35:54you see
35:54the spirit
35:55descend
35:55he
35:56is the
35:57one
35:58and so
35:58John
35:59in referring
36:00to Jesus
36:01said to
36:01his own
36:01disciples
36:02behold the
36:03Lamb of
36:03God that
36:04takes away
36:04the sins
36:05of the
36:05world
36:06and he
36:07pointed
36:07out
36:08Jesus
36:10now John
36:11had been
36:11in a dungeon
36:12for some
36:13time
36:13a prisoner
36:14of Herod
36:16he would
36:17not have
36:17enjoyed
36:18being in
36:19confined
36:19conditions
36:20for he
36:20was a
36:21man of
36:21the outdoors
36:23he had
36:23grown up
36:24in the
36:24wilderness
36:25he was a
36:26man of
36:26the world
36:27of the
36:28woods
36:28the desert
36:29so to
36:30speak
36:32at this
36:33confinement
36:33would have
36:34irritated
36:35him
36:35immensely
36:37and we
36:38would imagine
36:38that John
36:39like the
36:40other
36:40disciples
36:40of Jesus
36:41anticipated
36:42the immediate
36:44establishment
36:44of the
36:45kingdom
36:45of God
36:46and he
36:47was probably
36:48wondering
36:48to himself
36:49from time
36:50to time
36:51how much
36:52longer
36:52am I
36:53going to
36:54sit in
36:55this
36:55stinking
36:56prison
36:59and so
37:00the question
37:01are you
37:01the
37:02messiah
37:02perhaps
37:03was not
37:04so much
37:04a question
37:05as it
37:05was some
37:06form of
37:07urging
37:08get on
37:09with it
37:10it could
37:11be that
37:12the fact
37:12that Jesus
37:13did not
37:13immediately
37:14establish
37:14the kingdom
37:15overthrow
37:16Herod and
37:17the Romans
37:18that caused
37:19John to
37:19have second
37:20thoughts
37:22whatever the
37:23case
37:23the response
37:24of Jesus
37:25is quite
37:26interesting
37:29Jesus
37:30said to
37:31his
37:31disciples
37:31believe me
37:32or else
37:33believe me
37:34for my
37:34works sake
37:36again he
37:36said the
37:37works that
37:38I do
37:38they give
37:38witness
37:39of me
37:41Jesus
37:42pointed to
37:42his works
37:43as a
37:44witness to
37:45the identity
37:45of the
37:46one he
37:46was
37:48my works
37:49bear witness
37:49they witness
37:51of me
37:51and if you
37:52don't believe
37:52me
37:52believe
37:53my works
37:55and so
37:55he called
37:56upon his
37:56works to
37:57witness as
37:57to his
37:58authority
37:58and his
37:59identity
38:01and they
38:01form a
38:02very strong
38:02witness as
38:03to his
38:04identity
38:04and authority
38:06because no
38:07man can do
38:08any of these
38:08things unless
38:10the Lord
38:10be with
38:11him
38:13and the
38:14works that
38:15he was
38:15doing were
38:16the works
38:16that were
38:16prophesied
38:17of the
38:17kingdom
38:18age
38:19and of
38:20course
38:20that's
38:21exactly what
38:21John was
38:22concerned about
38:23the kingdom
38:25are you
38:26the one
38:27why haven't
38:28you set up
38:29the kingdom
38:29are you
38:30the one
38:30or do we
38:31need to
38:31look for
38:31another
38:34and the
38:34works that
38:35he was
38:35doing
38:35were the
38:36works that
38:37were the
38:37fulfillment
38:38of the
38:38kingdom
38:39age
38:40when the
38:40lame would
38:41leap like
38:41the deer
38:42the blind
38:43would see
38:43the glory
38:44of the
38:44Lord
38:44and the
38:44dumb
38:45would sing
38:45praises
38:45to him
38:47and to
38:48the poor
38:48the gospel
38:49would be
38:49preached
38:51he just
38:52said
38:52go back
38:53and tell
38:54John
38:56he knew
38:57that John
38:58knew the
38:59scriptures
38:59he knew
39:01the scriptures
39:01well enough
39:02that when
39:02they came
39:03back and
39:03told John
39:04the things
39:05that they
39:05had seen
39:05the things
39:06that they
39:07had heard
39:08that John
39:09would know
39:09the scriptures
39:10well enough
39:10to know
39:11that yes
39:12he was
39:13indeed
39:13the promised
39:15one
39:21we continue
39:22with verse
39:2224
39:23and so
39:24when the
39:25messengers
39:25from John
39:26departed
39:26Jesus
39:27began to
39:28speak to
39:28the people
39:29concerning
39:29John
39:30and said
39:31what did
39:32you go
39:33out into
39:33the wilderness
39:34to see
39:35a reed
39:36shaking
39:37in the
39:37wind
39:39what did
39:39you go
39:40out to
39:40see
39:40a man
39:41clothed
39:42in soft
39:43and beautiful
39:43clothes
39:46behold
39:46those who
39:47are gorgeously
39:48clothed
39:49and live
39:49delicately
39:50are in
39:50the king's
39:51courts
39:55now the
39:55area where
39:56John had
39:57been baptizing
39:57around the
39:58Jordan River
39:59was subunded
40:00by these
40:01reeds
40:03they were a
40:04very common
40:05sight and
40:05clearly they
40:06didn't go all
40:07the way to
40:07the Jordan
40:08River just
40:08to see the
40:08reeds
40:09blowing in
40:10the wind
40:11what did
40:12you go
40:12out to
40:13see
40:13reeds
40:14blowing
40:14in the
40:14wind
40:14no
40:15of course
40:16not
40:19a man
40:20robed
40:20in beautiful
40:21clothes
40:24and a bit
40:25of satire
40:26on the
40:26part of
40:26Jesus
40:28they're not
40:29in the
40:29king's
40:30dungeons
40:31but what
40:32did you go
40:32to see
40:33a prophet
40:34yes
40:34and so
40:35John puts
40:36at the
40:36head of
40:37the list
40:37of those
40:38prophets
40:38that had
40:38been sent
40:39by God
40:39to the
40:40Jewish
40:40people
40:40John
40:41the
40:42baptist
40:44of all
40:45the men
40:45born of
40:45women
40:46no greater
40:47than
40:47John
40:47the
40:47baptist
40:51the
40:51privileges
40:52that you
40:53have as a
40:53child of
40:54God living
40:54in this
40:55age
40:55are superior
40:56to the
40:57highest
40:57position
40:58under the
40:58old
40:58dispensation
41:00where God
41:01related to
41:02man in a
41:03legal way
41:03through the
41:04law
41:05now
41:06those who
41:06are related
41:07to God
41:07from that
41:08legalistic
41:09background
41:09the greatest
41:10of all
41:11was John
41:11the baptist
41:12and yet
