00:22Let us pray
00:26Praise, honour and glory be to you, O Christ
00:29Who, when your disciples and friends deserted and left you
00:33Remained alone in the hands of sinful men
00:37Like a most gentle lamb
00:38Within the jaws of a ravenous wolf
00:43Strengthen my excessive weakness
00:45And confirm my too great unstableness
00:47By the support of your grace
00:49And join me to yourself with the bonds of love
00:53That I may neither have no wish nor the power
00:56Ever to depart or separate myself from you
01:01Praise, honour and glory be to you, O Christ
01:04Who allowed yourself to be led around bound
01:07By an armed band and taken to Annas
01:12Allowing yourself to be stood before him
01:14As though you were a common criminal or robber
01:19O unspeakable gentleness of my Redeemer
01:22Look, while they take and drag and thrust you forward
01:27You uttered not a single word of complaint
01:30Or murmur or word of resistance
01:33But in silence you followed them wherever they led you
01:37Obeying their commands
01:39And permitted their wanton injuries to you
01:44Grant, O Lord, that these your virtues may shine in me
01:47To the everlasting glory of your name
01:51Praise, honour and glory be to you, O Christ
01:54King of heaven and earth
01:55Who in great humility
01:57As poor and needy and of no account
02:00Was stood before the proud High Priest
02:03And most sweetly endured the dreadful blow
02:07Which his impious servant put upon you
02:12Restrain, I beg you
02:13In me all outbreak of anger and passion
02:17Suppress all acts of indignation
02:20And quench within me all desire of revenge
02:24That when I am provoked by injury
02:27I may not be disturbed
02:28I may offer no resistance
02:31May suffer no disquiet
02:34But endure everything with a quiet mind
02:36May I even repay evil with good
02:41Praise, honour and glory be to you, O Christ
02:43Who permitted himself to be lead-boned
02:46In a shameful manner to Caiaphas
02:48That you might deliver us from the penalty
02:51Of eternal death
02:52Restoring to us true liberty
02:56Make me most ready
02:58To endure every reproach
02:59And all contempt for your name's sake
03:03Grant that in the very middle
03:05Full of ridicule and outrage
03:06I may give you thanks with a perfect heart
03:09And by means of these trials
03:11May grow and increase more and more in your love
03:18Praise, honour and glory be to you, O Christ
03:20Who, when three times denied by your Apostle Peter
03:26Mercifully turned and looked upon him with kindness
03:29And brought him to repentance and holy sorrow for his sin
03:33In like manner
03:34May you turn upon me also
03:37Your eye of mercy and love
03:39That I may weep over my past sins
03:42With the tears of true penitence
03:44And may never again commit them
03:47May I never be found sinning against your goodness
03:50In word or deed
03:54Praise, honour and glory be to you, O Christ
03:56Who stood before the elders and the people of the Jews
03:59With a calm countenance and humble look
04:02Who did not refuse to be falsely accused
04:05And to suffer many injuries
04:09Give me grace never to say an untrue word
04:11Or to falsely accuse my neighbour
04:14But that I may bear with all quietness of heart
04:17The calumnies that are heaped upon me
04:21Casting all my troubles upon you
04:23May I always, in silence
04:25Look for the grave and consolation at your hands
04:32Praise, honour and glory be to you, O Christ
04:35Who, when Caiaphas the High Priest
04:38Adjured you by the name of God
04:41Declared the truth
04:42And proclaimed yourself the Son of God
04:44And did not refuse to be counted by him
04:47And the rest who stood by as a blasphemer
04:50May I fully abhor this contempt and defence against you
04:54May I, in every place
04:57Reverence the presence of your divinity and majesty
05:03May I think of you
05:04Adore, praise and love you
05:07Above all things
05:08Forever and forever
05:11Amen
05:15O Lord, open our lips
05:17And our mouths shall sing your praise
05:27O be joyful in the Lord
05:31O be joyful in the Lord
05:32O be glad
05:33Turn the Lord in gladness
05:37And come in one in present
05:41With a song
05:43He is sure that the Lord
05:47He is God
05:49He is He that can pay us
05:53And not be ourselves
05:55We are His people
05:58And the sheep of His pasture
06:01Go through your way
06:05To His gates
06:06Recast me
06:08And into His paths
06:12Recast
06:13Be thankful
06:15To Him
06:17And speak
06:18To the Lord
06:20Of His name
06:21Oh, the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting, and his truth and joy from generation to generation.
06:45Glory be to the Father, and to the Father, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning,
07:01is now and ever shall be, world without any trouble.
07:13Amen.
07:41Blessed is the man to whom the Lord in beautiful spirit, and he whose spirit there is no God.
07:57O my, I held my tongue, my words consumed the way through my daily complaint.
08:12For thy hand is heavy upon me day and night, and thy voice hurried like a drought in summer.
08:30I will acknowledge my sin unto thee, and thy unrighteousness have I loved thee.
08:45I say I will confess my sin drawn to the Lord, and so thou forgave us the wickedness of my
09:03sin.
09:05For this shall every one that is Godly make his prayer unto thee, in a time when thou mayest be
09:18found.
09:19But in the great water flood, they shall not come by thee.
09:29For what a place to hide thee, thou shalt preserve me from trouble.
09:39Thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.
09:49I will inform thee and teach thee in the way wherein thou shalt come.
09:58And I will guide thee in thy life.
10:06He will try to cause and cure, which hath no understanding.
10:16Whose thoughts must be held with bitter pride, lest they fall upon thee.
10:26Great place we pay for the undonely, but who so good hath distrust in the Lord.
10:37Mercy and praise and evil on every side.
10:43Be glad, rejoice in the Lord.
10:49Lord, and rejoice in the Lord, even as our true Lord.
11:03Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
11:15As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall we.
11:27Lord, with God's name, come on.
11:34Lord, and rejoice in the Lord.
11:49The gospel according to Saint Matthew chapter 16.
11:56now when the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test Jesus
11:59they asked him to show them a sign from heaven
12:03he said when evening comes to you
12:06you say it will be fair weather because the sky is red
12:10and in the morning it will be stormy today
12:13because the sky is red and darkening
12:17you know how to judge correctly the appearance of the sky
12:21but you cannot evaluate the signs of the times
12:27a wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign
12:30but no sign will be given to it
12:33except the sign of Jonah
12:36then he left them and went on his way
12:42when the disciples went to the other side
12:44they forgot to take bread
12:48watch out Jesus said to them
12:50beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the Sadducees
12:55so they began to discuss this amongst themselves saying
12:58it's because we brought no bread
13:02when Jesus learns of this he said
13:05you who have such little faith
13:07why do you argue amongst yourselves about having no bread
13:11do you still not understand
13:14don't you remember the five loaves for the five thousand
13:18and how many baskets of leftovers there were
13:21or the seven loaves for the four thousand
13:24and how many baskets there were
13:26how could you not understand
13:28that I was not speaking to you about bread
13:32but beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees
13:38then they understood that he had not told them to be on their guard against the yeast in bread
13:43but against the teaching of the Pharisees and the Sadducees
13:49when Jesus came to the area of Caesarea Philippi
13:52he asked his disciples
13:55who do the people say that the son of man is
13:59they answered
14:00some say John the Baptist
14:02others Elijah
14:04and others Jeremiah
14:06or one of the prophets
14:09he said to them
14:10but who do you say that I am
14:13Simon Peter answered
14:15you are the Christ
14:16the son of the living God
14:19Jesus answered him
14:21you are blessed Simon son of Jonah
14:24because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you
14:27but my father in heaven
14:30I tell you you are Peter
14:32but on this rock
14:34I will build my church
14:36and the gates of Hades will never overpower it
14:40I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven
14:44whatever you bind on earth
14:45will be bound in heaven
14:47and whatever you release on earth
14:49will be released in heaven
14:52then he instructed his disciples
14:55not to tell anyone
14:56that he was the Christ
15:00from that time on
15:02Jesus began to show his disciples
15:03that he must go to Jerusalem
15:05suffering many things
15:07at the hands of the elders
15:09chief priests and experts in the law
15:12be killed
15:13and on the third day be raised
15:17so Peter took him aside
15:19and began to rebuke him
15:20God forbid Lord
15:22this must never happen to you
15:25but he turned and said to Peter
15:28get behind me Satan
15:30you are a stumbling block to me
15:32because you are not setting your mind
15:35on God's interests
15:36but on man's
15:39this is the word of the Lord
15:42thanks be to God
15:46up until now
15:48Jesus
15:48has been keeping as much
15:50out of the way
15:51of his ungrateful countrymen
15:53as the limits of his commission
15:55would permit
15:56hovering as it were
15:58around the northern outskirts
16:00of the land
16:02but when in the course of this
16:04his largest circuit
16:05of all the northern journeys
16:06he approached Decapolis
16:09he was so near to home
16:11that he could not resist
16:12crossing the lake
16:13and revisiting the familiar seas
16:17how is he received
16:18do the people flock around him
16:21as they did before
16:23had it been so
16:24we would no doubt have been told
16:27there seemed to have been
16:29not one single word
16:30of welcome
16:32of all the multitudes
16:33he had healed and blessed
16:35there is not one
16:36crying out
16:37Hosanna
16:38to the son of David
16:42his friends
16:43if he ever had any
16:46had gone home
16:47and walked with him
16:48no more
16:49but his old enemies
16:51the Pharisees
16:52did not fail
16:53and they are not alone
16:55now
16:55nor as before
16:57in alliance only
16:58with those who
16:59naturally
16:59in sympathy
17:00with them
17:01but the fact really
17:03made a league
17:04with their great opponents
17:05the two rival parties
17:06of Pharisee
17:07and Sadducee
17:08finding it in their
17:10common hatred
17:10of the Christ of God
17:12a sinister bond
17:14of union
17:18this is the first time
17:20that we find
17:21the Sadducees
17:22mentioned in this gospel
17:24as coming into contact
17:25with Jesus
17:27some of them
17:28we know
17:29had gone to the baptism
17:30of John
17:31to his great astonishment
17:32but beyond this
17:34they have not yet
17:35put in
17:36an appearance
17:38they were the
17:39aristocracy
17:40of the land
17:40and held the most
17:41important offices
17:42of church
17:43and state
17:44in Jerusalem
17:46it is therefore
17:48the less to be wondered
17:49at that up until
17:50this point
17:50the carpenter
17:51of Nazareth
17:52should have been
17:53beneath their notice
17:55now however
17:56the great news
17:58of his doings
17:59in the north
17:59has finally compelled
18:01their attention
18:02the result
18:03is this combination
18:04with the Pharisees
18:06who have already been
18:07for some time
18:08engaged
18:08in the attempt
18:09to put him down
18:12there is an indication
18:14elsewhere
18:14in Mark 8 15
18:16that the Herodians
18:18had also
18:19united with them
18:21so that we may come
18:22to look upon this
18:23as the culmination
18:24of a crisis
18:25in Galilee
18:26when all the forces
18:28of the country
18:29have been roused
18:30in bitter
18:31and active hostility
18:32to Jesus
18:36the Pharisees
18:37and Sadducees
18:38as we know
18:39were at opposite
18:40poles of thought
18:41the one being
18:42traditionalists
18:43and the other
18:44sceptics
18:45of the time
18:46so that it was
18:47quite remarkable
18:48that they should be
18:49united
18:49in anything
18:52they did however
18:53unite in this demand
18:54for a sign
18:55from heaven
18:57neither of them
18:58could deny
18:59that signs
19:00had been given
19:01that the blind
19:02had received sight
19:03that lepers
19:04had been cleansed
19:05the lame healed
19:06and deeds of mercy
19:08done in every place
19:12but neither party
19:13was satisfied
19:14with this
19:15each was firmly
19:17wedded to a system
19:18of thought
19:18according to which
19:20signs on earth
19:21were of no
19:22evidential value
19:23a sign from heaven
19:25was what they needed
19:27to convince them
19:30the demand
19:31was practically
19:32the same
19:33that the scribes
19:35and Pharisees
19:36had made before
19:37in Matthew 12
19:38verse 38
19:39though it is put here
19:41more specifically
19:42as a sign
19:43from heaven
19:47the reason why
19:48the Pharisees
19:49adopted the same
19:50method of attack
19:51as before
19:52is not hard
19:53to seek
19:55their object
19:56was not
19:56to obtain
19:57satisfaction
19:58as to his claims
19:59but to find
20:00the easiest way
20:01to discredit him
20:02and knowing
20:04as they did
20:04from their past
20:05experience
20:06that the demand
20:07for a special sign
20:08would be refused
20:09they had already
20:11banked on the refusal
20:13to be used
20:14by their new allies
20:15as well as themselves
20:16as a weapon
20:18against him
20:20and they would
20:21not be disappointed
20:21for our Lord
20:23was no respecter
20:24of persons
20:25and he spoke
20:27just as plainly
20:28and sternly
20:29when the haughty
20:30Sadducees
20:31were present
20:31as he had done
20:33before they had
20:34made their appearance
20:38the words
20:39are stern
20:40and strong
20:41but here again
20:42it is perhaps
20:43more in sorrow
20:44than in anger
20:45that he speaks
20:47we learn from
20:48St Mark's account
20:49of the same event
20:50as he gave
20:51his answers
20:51he sighed
20:52deeply
20:53in his spirit
20:55there had been
20:56so many signs
20:59they were plain
21:00and clear signs
21:01which spoke
21:01for themselves
21:02signs which
21:03so plainly
21:05spelt out
21:06the words
21:06the kingdom
21:08of heaven
21:08is among you
21:09that it was
21:11unspeakably sad
21:12to think
21:12that they should
21:13be blind
21:13to them all
21:15and find it
21:16in their heart
21:17to ask
21:18for something
21:18else
21:19which in its
21:20nature
21:21would be no sign
21:22at all
21:23but only a
21:24portent
21:24a barren
21:26miracle
21:29we can see
21:30in this
21:31how determined
21:32our lord
21:32was not to
21:33minister to the
21:34craving
21:34for the mere
21:35miracle
21:36he was not
21:38a showman
21:38he was not
21:39about to perform
21:40a stunt
21:42he would
21:43work
21:43no miracle
21:44for the mere
21:44purpose
21:45of exciting
21:46astonishment
21:46or even
21:48for producing
21:48conviction
21:50when there was
21:51already quite
21:52enough
21:52for anyone
21:53who was willing
21:53to receive it
21:54in the regular
21:56natural
21:56and necessary
21:57development
21:58of his work
21:59as the healer
22:00of the sick
22:01the shepherd
22:02of the people
22:03the refuge
22:04of the troubled
22:05and distressed
22:07had there been
22:08no signs
22:09of the times
22:10there might have
22:10been some reason
22:11for a sign
22:12in the heavens
22:13but when there
22:14were signs
22:15in abundance
22:15of the kind
22:16to appeal
22:17to all
22:17that was best
22:18in the minds
22:19and hearts
22:20of men
22:20why should
22:22these be
22:23discredited
22:23by resorting
22:24to another
22:25kind of sign
22:27much inferior
22:28and far less
22:30adapted
22:30to the securing
22:31of the special
22:32object for which
22:33the king of heaven
22:33had come
22:34into the world
22:37the signs
22:38of the times
22:39were after all
22:40far more easily
22:40discerned
22:41than those signs
22:42in the heavens
22:43by which they
22:44were accustomed
22:45to anticipate
22:46fine or stormy
22:48weather
22:49there were signs
22:50of blessing
22:51enough to convince
22:52any doubter
22:53that the summer
22:54of heaven
22:54was easily
22:56within his reach
22:56and yet
22:58on the other hand
22:59in the state
23:00of the nation
23:00and in the rapidly
23:02developing circumstances
23:03which were hastening
23:05on the fulfilment
23:06of the most terrible
23:07of the prophecies
23:07concerned it
23:08there were signs
23:10enough to give
23:11a far more certain
23:12indication
23:13of the approaching
23:14judgment
23:15than when the red
23:16and towering
23:17mourning
23:18gave token
23:19of the coming
23:20thunderstorm
23:20and so he tells
23:23them
23:23convicting
23:24of their willful
23:25bluntness
23:26repeating in
23:28almost identical
23:29terms
23:30the refusal
23:32he had given
23:33to the scribes
23:33and the Pharisees
23:34before
23:36a wicked
23:37and adulterous
23:38generation
23:39look for a sign
23:40but there will
23:41be no sign
23:42given
23:42but the sign
23:43of the prophet
23:44Jonah
23:48then he left
23:49them
23:50and departed
23:52how sad
23:53for him
23:53but how awful
23:55for them
23:56had there been
23:57in their hearts
23:58one single
23:59hope
23:59for the true
24:01and good
24:01he would not
24:02have left them
24:03in this way
24:05where are
24:05these Pharisees
24:06and Sadducees
24:07now
24:09what do they
24:10now think
24:10of the work
24:11achieved
24:12that day
24:15he left them
24:16and again
24:17entered into
24:17the boat
24:18departing
24:19to the other
24:19side
24:21we read
24:22also
24:23in Mark
24:248 13
24:27did he ever
24:28cross the lake
24:29again
24:30if he did
24:31there is no
24:32record of it
24:33he passed
24:33in sight of it
24:34on that sorrowful
24:35southward journey
24:36to Jerusalem
24:37which he must
24:39shortly commence
24:40and he will
24:41visit the same
24:41shore again
24:42after his
24:43resurrection
24:43to comfort
24:45the apostles
24:45at their work
24:46but this
24:48seems to have
24:49been the last
24:50crossing
24:50and what a sad
24:52one it must
24:52have been
24:53after a beginning
24:54so bright
24:55that it was
24:56heralded as
24:57daybreak
24:58on Gennesaret's
24:59shore
25:00after all
25:01his self-denying
25:02toil
25:03are after all
25:04the words
25:05of wisdom
25:05he has spoken
25:06and all the
25:07deeds of mercy
25:08he has performed
25:09upon these shores
25:10to leave them
25:12now
25:12dejected
25:13despised
25:15and outcast
25:16to all
25:17and outward
25:18appearance
25:19of failure
25:19no wonder
25:21he is silent
25:22in the crossing
25:23of the lake
25:23no wonder
25:24he is lost
25:25in sad thoughts
25:27turning over
25:28and over
25:28in his mind
25:29the signs
25:30of the times
25:31forced so
25:32painfully
25:33upon his attention
25:39the disciples
25:40with him
25:40in the boat
25:41had no share
25:42in these sad
25:43thoughts
25:44their minds
25:45it would seem
25:46were occupied
25:47by the most part
25:48with the mistake
25:49they had made
25:50in provisioning
25:51the boat
25:53accordingly
25:53when he at last
25:54broke his silence
25:55he found them
25:56quite out of tune
25:57with him
25:59he had been
26:00thinking of the
26:00sad unbelief
26:01of these Pharisees
26:02and Sadducees
26:03and of the awful
26:05danger of allowing
26:06the spirit
26:06which was in them
26:07to dominate
26:08the life
26:09and the solemn
26:10caution he gives
26:11take heed
26:13beware of the
26:14yeast of the Pharisees
26:16and of the Sadducees
26:20the disciples
26:21meanwhile
26:22had been counting
26:23their lobes
26:24or more accurately
26:26the absence
26:27of them
26:28while searching
26:29their baskets
26:31and the word
26:32yeast
26:33caught their ear
26:33coupled with
26:34a caution
26:35as to a particular
26:36kind
26:37and they said
26:37to one another
26:38it's because
26:39we haven't
26:39any bread
26:40with us
26:43another cause
26:44of sadness
26:44to the master
26:46he had been
26:47mourning
26:48the blindness
26:49of Pharisee
26:49and Sadducee
26:51and yet
26:52he must now
26:52mourn over
26:53the blindness
26:54of his own
26:54disciples
26:56and not
26:57the blindness
26:58only
26:59but the forgetfulness
27:00of a thrice
27:02taught lesson
27:04why should
27:05the mere supply
27:06of bread
27:06be a cause
27:07of anxiety
27:08to them
27:09after what
27:10they had seen
27:10once and again
27:11in the very regions
27:13to which they
27:14were now going
27:17but these hearts
27:18were not
27:19shut
27:19against him
27:20theirs
27:21was not
27:21the blindness
27:22of purpose
27:23for those
27:24who could not
27:25see
27:25and accordingly
27:26the result
27:27is very different
27:29he did not
27:30leave them
27:31and depart
27:31nor on the other
27:33hand
27:33did he explain
27:34in so many words
27:35what he meant
27:36it was better
27:37by far
27:38that they work
27:39it out
27:39for themselves
27:41the riddles
27:42of nature
27:43and of life
27:43are not
27:44provided
27:44with keys
27:47these
27:48must be
27:49discovered
27:49through
27:49thoughtful
27:50attention
27:51so instead
27:52of providing
27:53them with a
27:54key to his
27:55little parable
27:55he puts them
27:57in the way
27:57of finding it
27:58for themselves
27:58by asking
27:59them a series
28:00of questions
28:01which convinced
28:02them of their
28:03thoughtfulness
28:04thoughtlessness
28:05and faithlessness
28:06leading them
28:08to recognise
28:09his true
28:10meaning
28:15arriving
28:16in Caesarea
28:17Philippi
28:18we have a
28:19conversation
28:19which is
28:21regarded as
28:21marking a new
28:22era
28:23in the
28:23life of Christ
28:27his rejection
28:28by his own
28:29is now complete
28:31Jerusalem
28:32troubled
28:33at his time
28:34of birth
28:34was troubled
28:35once again
28:36when he came
28:37to his temple
28:38and cleansed
28:39it in his
28:39father's name
28:41though many
28:42at the feast
28:42were attracted
28:43by his deeds
28:44of mercy
28:44he could not
28:46commit himself
28:46to any of them
28:49there was no
28:50rock there
28:51on which he
28:51could build
28:52his church
28:54he had passed
28:55through Samaria
28:56and found
28:57there fields
28:58white into
28:59the harvest
28:59but the time
29:01of reaping
29:01was not yet
29:03Galilee
29:04Galilee
29:04had been more
29:05promising
29:05again and
29:06again
29:06it appeared
29:07as if the
29:08foundation of
29:09the new
29:09kingdom
29:09would be
29:10firmly laid
29:10in the land
29:11of Zebulun
29:12and Naphtali
29:14but there
29:15also had
29:16been bitter
29:16and crushing
29:17disappointment
29:18even in the
29:19cities where
29:20most of his
29:20mighty works
29:21had been
29:21performed
29:23the people
29:24had eagerly
29:25welcomed
29:25his earthly
29:26things
29:27but when he
29:28began to speak
29:29of them
29:29of heavenly
29:30things
29:30they went
29:31back and
29:32walked no
29:32more with
29:33him
29:34though opportunity
29:35after opportunity
29:37was given
29:37to them
29:38while he
29:39hovered on
29:39the outskirts
29:40sometimes
29:41returning to
29:42the familiar
29:43seats
29:43they would
29:44not repent
29:45they would
29:46not welcome
29:46or even
29:47receive the
29:48kingdom of
29:48God
29:49which came
29:50with Christ
29:52the country
29:53had been
29:54traversed
29:54from the
29:55wilderness
29:55of Judah
29:56in the
29:56far south
29:57even as
29:58far as
29:59Dan
29:59and there
30:00had been
30:00no room
30:01for the
30:01infant king
30:02in the
30:03inn
30:04such as
30:04there was
30:05no room
30:06in all
30:07the land
30:07for the
30:08infant
30:08kingdom
30:11and so
30:12it came
30:12that with
30:13the very
30:13small band
30:14that he
30:15gathered
30:15around him
30:16he called
30:16in the
30:17land
30:18indeed
30:18but now
30:20of necessity
30:20called to
30:21come out
30:22of it
30:22he withdraws
30:24to the
30:24neighbourhood
30:24of the
30:25gentile town
30:26of Caesarea
30:27Philippi
30:27not for
30:29seclusion
30:30only
30:30but as
30:32the event
30:33shows
30:33to found
30:35an ecclesia
30:36his church
30:37the scenery
30:39of this
30:39region
30:39is
30:40exceptionally
30:41beautiful
30:43and the
30:43place was
30:44in every
30:45way suited
30:45for a
30:46season of
30:46quiet
30:47communion
30:47with nature
30:48and with
30:49nature's
30:50god
30:51it was
30:52moreover
30:52just outside
30:53the land
30:54and in the
30:55place and
30:55surroundings
30:56there was
30:57much that
30:58must have
30:58been suggestive
30:59and inspiring
31:02it's not
31:03this great
31:03mountain
31:04on one
31:05of the
31:05southern
