00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.340
 Well, good morning, everyone.

00:00:01.760 --> 00:00:05.060
 Could I welcome you to this service of worship

00:00:05.060 --> 00:00:08.980
 and to any who may be joining the service

00:00:08.980 --> 00:00:11.839
 through the YouTube link.

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.640
 Let us worship God by singing to his praise

00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:23.339
 from Psalm 99A, page 130 of the Psalter.

00:00:24.420 --> 00:00:27.839
 The Lord reigns from his throne on high.

00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:30.300
 Let all the nations quake.

00:00:31.259 --> 00:00:33.140
 He sits between the cherubim.

00:00:33.740 --> 00:00:36.039
 So let the whole earth shake.

00:00:37.060 --> 00:00:42.179
 Great is the Lord on Zion Hill, exalted over all.

00:00:43.060 --> 00:00:48.120
 Upon his great and holy name, let all the nations call.

00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:55.420
 The King loves truth and equity, established by his might.

00:00:55.420 --> 00:01:02.340
 In Jacob, you have done for us all that is just and right.

00:01:03.340 --> 00:01:06.340
 Exalt the Lord our God with us.

00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.359
 Let all the world abroad before his footstool worship him.

00:01:11.939 --> 00:01:15.180
 For holy is the Lord.

00:01:15.980 --> 00:01:18.180
 Let us sing these verses.

00:01:18.180 --> 00:01:21.340
 The Lord reigns from his throne on high.

00:01:21.340 --> 00:01:33.579
 The Lord reigns from his throne on high.

00:01:33.579 --> 00:01:40.680
 Let all the nations quake.

00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:48.680
 He sits between the cherubim.

00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:56.680
 So let the whole earth shake.

00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:12.680
 Great is the Lord on Zion Hill, exalted over all.

00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:14.680
 Upon his great and holy name.

00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:19.680
 Upon his great and holy name.

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:29.680
 Let all the nations call.

00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:46.680
 The King loves truth and equity, established by his might.

00:02:46.680 --> 00:03:04.680
 In Jacob, you have done for us all that is just and right.

00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:14.680
 Exalt the Lord our God with us.

00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:30.680
 Let all the world abroad before his footstool worship him.

00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:38.680
 For holy is the Lord.

00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.680
 Let us engage in prayer.

00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:57.680
 Almighty God, we thank thee for the opening words of the psalm that we have newly sung.

00:03:57.680 --> 00:03:59.680
 Let us pray.

00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:04.680
 Words that remind us that thou art a sovereign God.

00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:07.680
 That thou art a sovereign king.

00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:10.680
 The Lord reigns.

00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:14.680
 And that thou art a holy king.

00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:22.680
 Holy with a transcendent holiness.

00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:23.680
 Holy in your righteousness.

00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:24.680
 Holy in your righteousness.

00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:25.680
 Holy in your grace.

00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:26.680
 Holy in your righteousness.

00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:27.680
 Holy in your grace.

00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.680
 Holy in your grace.

00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:44.680
 Oh, may we be found today acknowledging and bowing down before the holiness of our sovereign God.

00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:51.680
 It prompted praise on the part of the seraphim.

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.680
 Who beheld the holiness of almighty God.

00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:59.680
 As they went to and fro proclaiming.

00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.680
 That God is indeed holy.

00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:04.680
 Holy, holy, holy.

00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:11.680
 That your holiness sets you apart from all your creatures.

00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:24.680
 Grant, O Lord, that we may come into thy presence today with that sense of awe and reverential fear.

00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:31.680
 In the knowledge that we are in the presence of our trice holy God.

00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:39.680
 May we come upon the knees of our heart.

00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.680
 Lord, that we are in the presence of our heart before thee.

00:05:42.680 --> 00:05:47.680
 Acknowledging with thy servant of old.

00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:51.680
 That we are of unclean lips.

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.680
 Just as thy servant felt.

00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:59.680
 When he came before the holiness of God.

00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.680
 In the vision that was granted to him.

00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:07.680
 When he saw the Lord high and lifted up in the temple.

00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.680
 O Lord, we thank thee.

00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:15.680
 That with a holy God there is forgiveness.

00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:20.680
 That with a holy God there is cleansing.

00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:23.680
 That thou hast made provision.

00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:28.680
 For sinners to draw near to thee.

00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:36.680
 Grant thy blessing upon us as we reflect on a part of thy truth today.

00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:41.680
 Blessed richly to our hearts.

00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:46.680
 May it reach into our innermost being.

00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:52.680
 And may our lives be gripped by the power of the truth.

00:06:52.680 --> 00:07:01.680
 So that we come in truth to serve the Christ of God.

00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:05.680
 To be joyous subjects of the sovereign king.

00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:11.680
 Who reigns supremely over the affairs of men.

00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:13.680
 Although there may be much.

00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:19.680
 In a world that is beyond our understanding.

00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:23.680
 Much that we find deeply mysterious.

00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:28.680
 Yet, O Lord, we draw comfort from this fact.

00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:30.680
 That the Lord reigns.

00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.680
 Grant most gracious God.

00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:38.680
 That our hope and confidence.

00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:41.680
 Might be placed today and every day.

00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:43.680
 In the Lord who reigns.

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:47.680
 So that as we come before thee today.

00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:52.680
 We may not be despondent or downcast.

00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.680
 But uplifted by the thought.

00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:58.680
 That thou art reigning.

00:07:58.680 --> 00:08:00.680
 And that thy will.

00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.680
 Is being performed.

00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.680
 And that nothing but nothing can thwart.

00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.680
 The will of the reigning sovereign king.

00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:15.680
 That your will will always win out.

00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:17.680
 Despite every.

00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:22.680
 Every hostility and enmity.

00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.680
 That is aroused by the forces of darkness.

00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:29.680
 In seeking to thwart the will.

00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:32.680
 Of the reigning sovereign king.

00:08:32.680 --> 00:08:36.680
 We bless thy name that this is so.

00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:39.679
 Grant thy blessing.

00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:42.679
 We pray thee on each home and family.

00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:45.679
 As we are found before thee today.

00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:49.679
 Thou knowest the needs of each and all.

00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:51.679
 Thou knowest those who may be here.

00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:53.679
 With heavy burdens.

00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:55.679
 With crushing burdens.

00:08:55.679 --> 00:08:59.679
 Thou knowest those who may be here today.

00:08:59.679 --> 00:09:02.679
 Looking for a token for good.

00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:05.679
 That they belong to those.

00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:10.679
 Those who are indeed the subjects of the sovereign king.

00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.679
 And who rejoice in his reign.

00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:16.679
 Grant thy blessing upon them.

00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:21.679
 We pray for any who may be mourning the loss of loved ones.

00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:23.679
 And to her today.

00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:24.679
 The burden of sorrow.

00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:25.679
 The burden of sorrow.

00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:34.679
 As they mourn the passing of those dear to them.

00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:36.679
 We know of some.

00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:38.679
 Who have that burden.

00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.679
 Some who came face to face.

00:09:41.679 --> 00:09:44.679
 Unexpectedly with that.

00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:47.679
 With that burden of sorrow.

00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:48.679
 With that burden of sorrow.

00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:50.679
 As they came face to face.

00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:51.679
 With what?

00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:54.679
 Perhaps they didn't want to hear.

00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:57.679
 As those whom they loved in life.

00:09:57.679 --> 00:10:02.679
 Were taken unexpectedly from them.

00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:03.679
 With that burden of sorrow.

00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:04.679
 Comfort them.

00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:05.679
 We pray thee.

00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:07.679
 With the comfort.

00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:10.679
 That alone is able.

00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:13.679
 To reach into distraught hearts and lives.

00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.679
 When death removes.

00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:18.679
 A member of a family.

00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:20.679
 Unexpectedly.

00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:23.679
 As often death comes.

00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:25.679
 We pray thy blessing.

00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:28.679
 For those who may be under thine hand in illness.

00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:31.679
 Confined to their homes.

00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:34.679
 Or in hospital care.

00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:37.679
 Or in residential care.

00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.679
 Grant, O Lord, thy blessing on each and all.

00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:43.679
 According to their needs.

00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:48.679
 And bless those who are providing care for them.

00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:50.679
 We give thee thanks.

00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:54.679
 For all who are involved in the care system.

00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:56.679
 Doctors and nurses.

00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:59.679
 Care assistants.

00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:01.679
 All who provide.

00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:05.679
 For those unable to provide for themselves.

00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.679
 O grant, O Lord.

00:11:08.679 --> 00:11:11.679
 That we be mindful.

00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:14.679
 Of those who are involved.

00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:17.679
 In the care system.

00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:20.679
 The burdens that they bear.

00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:24.679
 The duties that evolve upon them.

00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:28.679
 The responsibilities that are theirs.

00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:32.679
 Help them to fulfill these responsibilities.

00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.679
 As they daily carry out their tasks.

00:11:35.679 --> 00:11:39.679
 Help us now as we turn to thy truth.

00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.679
 Bless the other section of the congregation.

00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:44.679
 And thy servant.

00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:49.679
 As he engages in the act of worship.

00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:53.679
 In the Gaelic language.

00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:56.679
 Grant thy blessing upon them.

00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:58.679
 Uphold and sustain them.

00:11:58.679 --> 00:11:59.679
 We pray thee.

00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:02.679
 In the duties that evolve upon them.

00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:05.679
 Bless all who go forth in thy name.

00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:10.679
 And to the ends of the earth.

00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:13.679
 Bless, we pray thee.

00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.679
 The Slavic Gospel members.

00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:19.679
 Who are carrying out deputation work.

00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:22.679
 We give thee thanks for their commitment.

00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:24.679
 For their zeal.

00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:26.679
 For their enthusiasm.

00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:31.679
 And for the encouraging reports.

00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:34.679
 That they have brought to us.

00:12:34.679 --> 00:12:37.679
 We pray that thou wouldst bless them today.

00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.679
 In the particular duties that evolve upon them.

00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:44.679
 Wherever they are preaching.

00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:47.679
 The unsearchable riches of Christ.

00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:49.679
 Cleanse in the blood.

00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:53.679
 In Jesus name we ask it with forgiveness of sin.

00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:54.679
 Amen.

00:12:54.679 --> 00:13:00.679
 Let us now read from the New Testament.

00:13:00.679 --> 00:13:05.679
 From the Gospel according to Mark.

00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:07.679
 Chapter 15.

00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:10.679
 And at verse 21.

00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:16.679
 And they compelled a passerby.

00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:19.679
 Simon of Cyrene.

00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:22.679
 Who was coming in from the country.

00:13:22.679 --> 00:13:25.679
 The father of Alexander and Rufus.

00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:27.679
 To carry his cross.

00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:31.679
 And they brought him to the place called Golgotha.

00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:34.679
 Which means place of a skull.

00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:38.679
 And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh.

00:13:38.679 --> 00:13:41.679
 But he did not take it.

00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:43.679
 And they crucified him.

00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.679
 And divided his garments among them.

00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:49.679
 Casting lots for them.

00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:51.679
 To decide what it should take.

00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:54.679
 And it was the third hour.

00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:57.679
 When they crucified him.

00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:00.679
 And the inscription of the charge against him.

00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:01.679
 Read.

00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:04.679
 The king of the Jews.

00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:08.679
 And with him they crucified two robbers.

00:14:08.679 --> 00:14:10.679
 One on his right.

00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:12.679
 And one on his left.

00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:15.679
 And those who passed by derided him.

00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:16.679
 Waking their heads.

00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:17.679
 And saying.

00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:18.679
 And saying.

00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:19.679
 Aha.

00:14:19.679 --> 00:14:22.679
 You who would destroy the temple.

00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:24.679
 And rebuild it in three days.

00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:26.679
 Save yourself.

00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:28.679
 And come down from the cross.

00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:33.679
 So also the chief priests with the scribes.

00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:35.679
 Mocked him to one another.

00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:36.679
 And saying.

00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:38.679
 He saved others.

00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:40.679
 He cannot save himself.

00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:43.679
 Let the Christ.

00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:45.679
 The king of Israel.

00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:48.679
 Come down now from the cross.

00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:51.679
 That we may see and believe.

00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:55.679
 Those who were crucified with him.

00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:57.679
 Also reviled him.

00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:00.679
 When the sixth hour had come.

00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:04.679
 There was darkness over the whole land.

00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:06.679
 Until the ninth hour.

00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:09.679
 And at the ninth hour.

00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:12.679
 Jesus cried with a loud voice.

00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:14.679
 Eli.

00:15:14.679 --> 00:15:17.679
 Eli lama sabachthani.

00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:19.679
 Which means.

00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:20.679
 My God.

00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:21.679
 My God.

00:15:21.679 --> 00:15:24.679
 Why have you forsaken me?

00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:27.679
 And some of the bystanders.

00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:28.679
 Hearing it said.

00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:29.679
 Behold.

00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:31.679
 He is calling Elijah.

00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:33.679
 And someone ran.

00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:35.679
 And filled a sponge.

00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:37.679
 With sour wine.

00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:39.679
 Put it on a reed.

00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:41.679
 And gave it to him to drink.

00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:42.679
 Saying.

00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:43.679
 Wait.

00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:45.679
 Let us see.

00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:46.679
 Whether Elijah will come.

00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:48.679
 To take him down.

00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:51.679
 And Jesus uttered.

00:15:51.679 --> 00:15:52.679
 A loud cry.

00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:53.679
 And breathed.

00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:56.679
 And breathed his last.

00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:58.679
 And the curtain of the temple.

00:15:58.679 --> 00:15:59.679
 Was torn in two.

00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:02.679
 From top to bottom.

00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:04.679
 And when the centurion.

00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:06.679
 Who stood facing him.

00:16:06.679 --> 00:16:08.679
 Saw that in this way.

00:16:08.679 --> 00:16:10.679
 He breathed his last.

00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:11.679
 He said.

00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:13.679
 Truly.

00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:15.679
 This man.

00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:17.679
 Was the son of God.

00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:20.679
 There were also women.

00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:22.679
 Looking on from a distance.

00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:23.679
 The Christians.

00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:24.679
 Among whom were.

00:16:24.679 --> 00:16:25.679
 Mary Magdalene.

00:16:25.679 --> 00:16:26.679
 And Mary.

00:16:26.679 --> 00:16:27.679
 The mother of James.

00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:28.679
 The younger.

00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:29.679
 And of.

00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:30.679
 Joseph.

00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:31.679
 And Salome.

00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:32.679
 When he was in Galilee.

00:16:32.679 --> 00:16:33.679
 They followed him.

00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:35.679
 And ministered to him.

00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:36.679
 And there were also.

00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:38.679
 Many other women.

00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:40.679
 Who came up with him.

00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:41.679
 To Jerusalem.

00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:43.679
 Amen.

00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:45.679
 And may he bless to us.

00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:46.679
 That reading.

00:16:46.679 --> 00:16:48.679
 From his truth.

00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:52.679
 Let us further sing to his praise.

00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:53.679
 From.

00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:54.679
 Psalm 22.

00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:55.679
 Page 26.

00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:56.679
 Of the.

00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:57.679
 Psalter.

00:16:57.679 --> 00:16:58.679
 At verse 14.

00:16:58.679 --> 00:16:59.679
 Page 26.

00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:01.679
 Of the.

00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:02.679
 Psalter.

00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:05.679
 At verse 14.

00:17:05.679 --> 00:17:10.679
 And the tune is.

00:17:10.679 --> 00:17:11.679
 Rockingham.

00:17:11.679 --> 00:17:13.679
 Apologies to the presenter.

00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:16.680
 I forgot to.

00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:17.680
 Mention the tune.

00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:18.680
 For the first song.

00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:20.680
 Psalm 22.

00:17:20.680 --> 00:17:22.680
 Page 26.

00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:24.680
 At verse 14.

00:17:24.680 --> 00:17:26.680
 Like water.

00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:28.680
 I am emptied out.

00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:31.680
 And all my bones.

00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:32.680
 Are torn apart.

00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:34.680
 My inmost being.

00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:36.680
 Melts away.

00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:39.680
 And into wax.

00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:41.680
 Is turned my heart.

00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:43.680
 My strength.

00:17:43.680 --> 00:17:44.680
 Is like.

00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:45.680
 Shattered clay.

00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:46.680
 And these verses.

00:17:46.680 --> 00:17:49.680
 Apply particularly.

00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:51.680
 To the Lord Jesus.

00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:52.680
 On the cross.

00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:57.680
 And as I fight.

00:17:57.680 --> 00:17:58.680
 To draw my breath.

00:17:58.680 --> 00:17:59.680
 My tongue.

00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:00.680
 Is sticking.

00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:01.680
 To my jaws.

00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:03.680
 You lay me.

00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:05.680
 In the dust of death.

00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:08.680
 A pack of dogs.

00:18:08.680 --> 00:18:09.680
 Encloses me.

00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:10.680
 Their circle.

00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:11.680
 Round me.

00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:12.680
 Is complete.

00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:14.680
 I am beset.

00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:15.680
 By evil men.

00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:18.680
 And they have pierced.

00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:19.680
 My hands.

00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:20.680
 And feet.

00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:22.680
 I count the number.

00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:23.680
 Of my bones.

00:18:24.680 --> 00:18:26.680
 With gloating eyes.

00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:27.680
 The people.

00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:28.680
 Stir.

00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:30.680
 They throw the dice.

00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:32.680
 To get my coat.

00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:34.680
 Among themselves.

00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:35.680
 My clothes.

00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:37.680
 They share.

00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.680
 Let us sing these verses.

00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:43.680
 Like water.

00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:45.680
 I am emptied out.

00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:46.680
 Like water.

00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:47.680
 I am emptied out.

00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:50.680
 And all my bones are torn apart.

00:18:50.680 --> 00:19:09.500
 Like water I am emptied out, and all my bones are torn apart.

00:19:09.500 --> 00:19:29.299
 My inmost being melts away, and into wax is darn my heart.

00:19:29.299 --> 00:19:51.079
 My strength is dried like shattered clay, and as I fight to throw my breath,

00:19:51.079 --> 00:20:01.559
 My tongue is sticking to my jaws.

00:20:02.059 --> 00:20:12.079
 You lay me in the dust of death.

00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:32.639
 A pack of dogs encloses me, their circle round me is complete.

00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:53.640
 I am beset by evil men, and they have pierced my hands and feet.

00:20:53.640 --> 00:21:05.380
 I count the number on my board.

00:21:06.040 --> 00:21:15.640
 With floating eyes the people stare.

00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:26.500
 They throw the dice to get my coat.

00:21:27.140 --> 00:21:36.920
 Among themselves my close they share.

00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:45.460
 Let us now turn to the part of Scripture that we read.

00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:51.620
 Gospel according to Mark, chapter 15.

00:21:52.520 --> 00:21:57.520
 And we may read again at verse 39.

00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:07.859
 And when the centurion who stood facing him saw that in this way he breathed his lust,

00:22:07.859 --> 00:22:16.960
 he said, truly, this man was the Son of God.

00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:31.559
 The gospel accounts tell us of very strange happenings which coincided with the death of Christ.

00:22:32.840 --> 00:22:42.519
 And one of these that are mentioned is the tearing of the temple veil in two from top to bottom.

00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:48.420
 Three of the gospel writers refer to it, Matthew, Mark, and Luke.

00:22:49.500 --> 00:23:04.839
 Both Matthew and Mark associate the tearing of the curtain with the loud voice cry of the Lord Jesus on the cross and his final breath.

00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:12.619
 Some query which temple curtain was torn.

00:23:12.619 --> 00:23:28.500
 But I think it is safe to assume that it was the curtain or the veil that separated the holy place from the most holy place of the temple.

00:23:28.500 --> 00:23:42.319
 You may remember that the holy place was frequented on a daily basis by the duty priests who ministered there.

00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:53.139
 The most holy place was only entered once a year by the high priest on the great day of atonement.

00:23:53.799 --> 00:24:01.859
 How do we explain the phenomenon that this curtain was torn from the top to the bottom?

00:24:01.859 --> 00:24:12.299
 No one, no gospel writer, refers to anyone with a knife or a scissor trying to tear it in two.

00:24:13.439 --> 00:24:19.059
 It was apparently made of very thick material, not easily torn.

00:24:19.059 --> 00:24:33.819
 And the gospel writers record that it was torn simultaneously with the moment of the death of Christ at three in the afternoon.

00:24:34.819 --> 00:24:44.339
 On our timekeeping, in Jewish timekeeping, that is the ninth hour, the equivalent of three o'clock in the afternoon.

00:24:44.339 --> 00:24:50.720
 That is when the duty priests would be offering the daily evening sacrifice.

00:24:51.759 --> 00:25:05.959
 And for those ministering priests, it must have been a startling and surprising phenomenon to witness this taking place.

00:25:06.899 --> 00:25:13.559
 Given their familiarity with the Old Testament teaching, it may have even filled them with fear.

00:25:14.339 --> 00:25:21.819
 And the thought of death, now that the most holy place was exposed to their gaze.

00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:29.500
 I doubt that they understood the significance of the event then.

00:25:30.500 --> 00:25:41.059
 But they could not doubt that it was not attributable to anything natural.

00:25:41.059 --> 00:25:51.639
 For those with the benefit of New Testament teaching, it was very significant that the temple curtain was torn in two.

00:25:52.099 --> 00:25:55.679
 It signified the new order being ushered in.

00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:58.819
 No longer was there an impediment.

00:25:59.819 --> 00:26:08.440
 In drawing near to God, a new and living way had been opened up through the one sacrifice of the Lamb of God.

00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:15.400
 A sacrifice that satisfied the demands and full of divine justice.

00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:18.980
 On the writer in the letter to the Hebrews writes,

00:26:18.980 --> 00:26:24.200
 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

00:26:24.860 --> 00:26:28.080
 by a new and living way which he consecrated for us,

00:26:28.620 --> 00:26:31.900
 through the veil that is his flesh.

00:26:31.900 --> 00:26:42.000
 Now, this strange phenomenon could only be verified by a limited number of people initially,

00:26:42.700 --> 00:26:44.600
 the duty priests of that day.

00:26:45.420 --> 00:26:52.040
 And no doubt, word would have spread quickly of what took place.

00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:59.200
 There were also other accompanying events of which many were witnesses.

00:27:00.099 --> 00:27:02.839
 There was, we are told, an earthquake.

00:27:03.639 --> 00:27:08.500
 That certainly could be verified by a greater number of people.

00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:11.420
 It took place during the afternoon.

00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:16.420
 Many would probably be aware of the tremor.

00:27:16.420 --> 00:27:23.080
 No information is given as to the severity of that tremor.

00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:27.920
 We're not told if houses were destroyed.

00:27:28.759 --> 00:27:37.460
 But what we are told by Matthew in his account is that the earthquake and the rocks were split.

00:27:37.460 --> 00:27:49.100
 The tearing of the curtain is not attributed to the force of the earthquake by any of the gospel writers.

00:27:49.100 --> 00:27:53.100
 They speak first of the tearing of the curtain,

00:27:53.900 --> 00:27:56.660
 and then they speak of the earthquake,

00:27:57.400 --> 00:28:00.360
 and they tell that the rocks were split.

00:28:01.660 --> 00:28:05.700
 Interestingly, in the original language,

00:28:05.700 --> 00:28:17.259
 the same root word is used to speak of the veil being torn and of the rocks being split.

00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:22.900
 The same power that tore the veil or the curtain,

00:28:22.900 --> 00:28:25.640
 thick as it was in the temple,

00:28:26.059 --> 00:28:30.400
 was also the power that split the rocks.

00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:32.660
 They were torn asunder,

00:28:32.660 --> 00:28:39.779
 and the impression that you get is that they were torn like someone might tear a piece of paper.

00:28:40.900 --> 00:28:44.400
 There was also another unusual occurrence.

00:28:44.680 --> 00:28:45.500
 Matthew writes,

00:28:46.080 --> 00:28:47.480
 and the graves were opened,

00:28:47.620 --> 00:28:51.700
 and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised,

00:28:51.900 --> 00:28:55.040
 and coming out of the graves after his resurrection,

00:28:55.820 --> 00:28:59.300
 they went into the holy city and appeared to many.

00:28:59.299 --> 00:29:08.680
 So you could say that these three events were not everyday occurrences.

00:29:09.480 --> 00:29:13.500
 They weren't events that you could shut your eyes to

00:29:13.500 --> 00:29:16.680
 and pretend that they did not happen.

00:29:17.460 --> 00:29:18.579
 The earth quaked,

00:29:19.039 --> 00:29:20.480
 the rocks were split,

00:29:21.299 --> 00:29:22.579
 the graves were opened,

00:29:22.579 --> 00:29:26.819
 and bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep.

00:29:26.819 --> 00:29:27.500
 Notice,

00:29:27.500 --> 00:29:29.139
 not all the bodies,

00:29:29.460 --> 00:29:33.199
 bodies of those saints.

00:29:33.619 --> 00:29:34.500
 And notice also

00:29:34.500 --> 00:29:36.740
 the way in which the writers

00:29:36.740 --> 00:29:38.740
 describe death

00:29:38.740 --> 00:29:41.939
 for those who had been saints.

00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:44.879
 They had fallen asleep,

00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:46.059
 and how very

00:29:46.059 --> 00:29:48.419
 suggestive that is.

00:29:48.420 --> 00:29:51.539
 And that is how the Bible frequently speaks

00:29:51.539 --> 00:29:55.539
 of the death of those who die in Christ.

00:29:56.279 --> 00:29:58.820
 They sleep in Christ,

00:29:58.960 --> 00:30:01.320
 and it is most suggestive.

00:30:01.759 --> 00:30:01.940
 Now,

00:30:02.140 --> 00:30:03.920
 all of these occurrences

00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:06.140
 were designed, I believe,

00:30:06.259 --> 00:30:07.660
 to catch the attention

00:30:07.660 --> 00:30:11.759
 of people at that time.

00:30:11.759 --> 00:30:13.579
 We are told

00:30:13.579 --> 00:30:17.200
 how all these combined events,

00:30:17.819 --> 00:30:20.500
 including the way in which Christ died,

00:30:21.220 --> 00:30:22.220
 affected some.

00:30:23.220 --> 00:30:23.900
 And Mark,

00:30:24.059 --> 00:30:26.039
 in this passage that we read,

00:30:26.579 --> 00:30:27.319
 tells us

00:30:27.319 --> 00:30:30.440
 of one particular individual

00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:32.379
 who I wish to focus on

00:30:32.379 --> 00:30:34.900
 this morning in our reflection.

00:30:35.619 --> 00:30:36.879
 An army officer,

00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:39.700
 a Roman centurion.

00:30:39.700 --> 00:30:42.019
 Mark records for us

00:30:42.019 --> 00:30:43.519
 the assessment

00:30:43.519 --> 00:30:46.259
 that this man made,

00:30:46.900 --> 00:30:49.200
 and his assessment

00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:52.059
 is an eyewitness statement

00:30:52.059 --> 00:30:52.880
 or account.

00:30:53.819 --> 00:30:54.319
 So,

00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:55.500
 who gave

00:30:55.500 --> 00:30:57.319
 this account?

00:30:58.440 --> 00:30:59.580
 What did he see?

00:31:00.180 --> 00:31:00.580
 Secondly,

00:31:00.700 --> 00:31:01.799
 what did he see and hear?

00:31:02.140 --> 00:31:02.720
 Thirdly,

00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:04.100
 what did he say?

00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:06.059
 And fourthly,

00:31:06.059 --> 00:31:08.379
 how does this account

00:31:08.919 --> 00:31:10.919
 speak to us?

00:31:11.879 --> 00:31:13.319
 Who gave it?

00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:17.359
 And the answer to the question is,

00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:18.839
 I don't know.

00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:22.179
 Because the gospel writers

00:31:22.179 --> 00:31:23.639
 do not see fit

00:31:23.639 --> 00:31:26.179
 to disclose his name,

00:31:27.179 --> 00:31:30.460
 to furnish us with details

00:31:30.460 --> 00:31:32.379
 of his background.

00:31:32.380 --> 00:31:33.980
 Obviously,

00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:35.540
 the gospel writers,

00:31:35.820 --> 00:31:36.660
 the Holy Spirit,

00:31:37.340 --> 00:31:39.600
 influencing the gospel writers,

00:31:40.020 --> 00:31:40.920
 didn't consider

00:31:40.920 --> 00:31:43.380
 that that information

00:31:43.380 --> 00:31:44.580
 was really important.

00:31:44.840 --> 00:31:45.100
 And so,

00:31:45.340 --> 00:31:47.260
 what we are told about this man

00:31:47.260 --> 00:31:48.540
 is really minimal.

00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:50.660
 He was an army officer

00:31:50.660 --> 00:31:53.320
 in the service of the Roman Empire,

00:31:53.980 --> 00:31:55.780
 probably a Gentile.

00:31:55.779 --> 00:31:57.720
 The fact that he is called

00:31:57.720 --> 00:31:58.799
 a centurion

00:31:58.799 --> 00:31:59.899
 indicates

00:31:59.899 --> 00:32:01.519
 that he was responsible

00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:03.420
 for a hundred soldiers.

00:32:03.879 --> 00:32:04.279
 That's

00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:06.460
 about the total

00:32:06.460 --> 00:32:08.500
 of the scant information

00:32:08.500 --> 00:32:10.019
 that we are given.

00:32:10.819 --> 00:32:11.160
 So,

00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:13.299
 he remains unnamed.

00:32:13.660 --> 00:32:14.519
 All we know is

00:32:14.519 --> 00:32:15.680
 that he appears

00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:16.660
 to be in charge

00:32:16.660 --> 00:32:18.859
 of the execution squad,

00:32:19.500 --> 00:32:20.319
 overseeing

00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:21.519
 the crucifixion

00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:22.720
 of Jesus

00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:24.460
 and remember

00:32:24.460 --> 00:32:25.339
 two others

00:32:25.339 --> 00:32:26.819
 who were crucified

00:32:26.819 --> 00:32:28.740
 alongside Jesus.

00:32:29.700 --> 00:32:30.519
 And Mark

00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:31.819
 portrays him

00:32:31.819 --> 00:32:32.819
 as

00:32:32.819 --> 00:32:34.059
 watching

00:32:34.059 --> 00:32:35.259
 proceedings.

00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:36.759
 Mark tells us

00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:38.079
 he stood

00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:39.700
 opposite Jesus.

00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:41.019
 In other words,

00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:42.079
 he was able

00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:43.400
 to observe

00:32:43.400 --> 00:32:44.240
 minutely

00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:46.000
 what was taking place,

00:32:47.140 --> 00:32:47.620
 possibly

00:32:47.620 --> 00:32:49.059
 doing so

00:32:49.059 --> 00:32:49.900
 to ensure

00:32:49.900 --> 00:32:51.400
 that no one

00:32:51.400 --> 00:32:52.400
 would seek

00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:53.259
 to intervene

00:32:53.259 --> 00:32:54.340
 and remove

00:32:54.340 --> 00:32:55.620
 Jesus from the cross.

00:32:56.340 --> 00:32:57.160
 I suppose

00:32:57.160 --> 00:32:57.980
 you could say

00:32:57.980 --> 00:32:59.220
 that was part

00:32:59.220 --> 00:33:00.200
 of his duty

00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:01.100
 as an officer

00:33:01.100 --> 00:33:03.140
 on guard duty.

00:33:03.900 --> 00:33:04.400
 But

00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:06.000
 in the overriding

00:33:06.000 --> 00:33:07.120
 mysterious

00:33:07.120 --> 00:33:08.280
 providence

00:33:08.280 --> 00:33:10.220
 of God,

00:33:10.840 --> 00:33:12.019
 he was appointed

00:33:12.019 --> 00:33:13.480
 to this duty.

00:33:15.019 --> 00:33:15.320
 And

00:33:15.320 --> 00:33:16.800
 it seems to me

00:33:16.800 --> 00:33:17.360
 you cannot

00:33:17.360 --> 00:33:18.880
 but marvel

00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:20.020
 at how

00:33:20.020 --> 00:33:20.680
 the Lord

00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:21.660
 uses

00:33:21.660 --> 00:33:22.540
 steps

00:33:22.540 --> 00:33:23.420
 in our

00:33:23.420 --> 00:33:24.240
 providence

00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:25.560
 for our

00:33:25.560 --> 00:33:26.160
 spiritual

00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:26.840
 good

00:33:26.840 --> 00:33:28.440
 without us

00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:29.840
 being aware

00:33:29.840 --> 00:33:30.880
 of how

00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:31.720
 our steps

00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:32.200
 are being

00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:32.940
 directed

00:33:32.940 --> 00:33:34.220
 in a

00:33:34.220 --> 00:33:34.680
 particular

00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:35.180
 way.

00:33:37.180 --> 00:33:37.820
 And I hope

00:33:37.820 --> 00:33:38.460
 we can see

00:33:38.460 --> 00:33:39.080
 that in the

00:33:39.080 --> 00:33:39.760
 life of this

00:33:39.760 --> 00:33:40.060
 man

00:33:40.060 --> 00:33:41.140
 as I

00:33:41.140 --> 00:33:42.100
 develop

00:33:42.100 --> 00:33:43.460
 the lecture.

00:33:44.840 --> 00:33:45.640
 Certainly

00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:46.820
 God moves

00:33:46.820 --> 00:33:47.640
 in mysterious

00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:48.420
 ways.

00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:49.780
 his wonders

00:33:49.780 --> 00:33:51.240
 to perform.

00:33:52.020 --> 00:33:53.020
 Here is a man

00:33:53.020 --> 00:33:54.600
 fulfilling orders

00:33:54.600 --> 00:33:55.120
 from his

00:33:55.120 --> 00:33:55.860
 superiors

00:33:55.860 --> 00:33:57.920
 and through

00:33:57.920 --> 00:33:58.940
 the instructions

00:33:58.940 --> 00:33:59.820
 that are given

00:33:59.820 --> 00:34:00.440
 to him

00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:01.820
 and the duties

00:34:01.820 --> 00:34:02.620
 entrusted

00:34:02.620 --> 00:34:03.400
 to him,

00:34:03.980 --> 00:34:04.520
 he comes

00:34:04.520 --> 00:34:05.560
 to formulate

00:34:05.560 --> 00:34:07.060
 a very

00:34:07.060 --> 00:34:07.900
 different

00:34:07.900 --> 00:34:08.820
 opinion

00:34:08.820 --> 00:34:10.720
 of Jesus

00:34:10.720 --> 00:34:11.559
 Christ.

00:34:11.559 --> 00:34:15.079
 not just

00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:15.659
 a different

00:34:15.659 --> 00:34:16.219
 opinion

00:34:16.219 --> 00:34:17.679
 as to the

00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:18.159
 fact that

00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:18.579
 he is on

00:34:18.579 --> 00:34:19.239
 the cross

00:34:19.239 --> 00:34:20.579
 but a

00:34:20.579 --> 00:34:20.960
 different

00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:21.500
 opinion

00:34:21.500 --> 00:34:22.860
 as to

00:34:22.860 --> 00:34:23.900
 the identity

00:34:23.900 --> 00:34:25.259
 of this

00:34:25.259 --> 00:34:25.840
 person

00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:26.799
 Jesus

00:34:26.799 --> 00:34:27.440
 Christ.

00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:27.480
 Christ.

00:34:28.380 --> 00:34:29.300
 So who

00:34:29.300 --> 00:34:29.800
 gave

00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:30.480
 this

00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:31.119
 account?

00:34:31.860 --> 00:34:32.760
 An unnamed

00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:34.079
 Gentile,

00:34:35.260 --> 00:34:36.019
 centurion,

00:34:36.740 --> 00:34:37.220
 obeying

00:34:37.220 --> 00:34:38.079
 instructions

00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:39.659
 and on

00:34:39.659 --> 00:34:40.139
 duty

00:34:40.139 --> 00:34:41.119
 at the

00:34:41.119 --> 00:34:41.559
 cross.

00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:44.200
 Secondly,

00:34:44.500 --> 00:34:45.119
 what did he

00:34:45.119 --> 00:34:45.599
 see and

00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:45.980
 hear?

00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:48.119
 And the

00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:49.000
 impression is

00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:50.119
 created by

00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:51.059
 all the

00:34:51.059 --> 00:34:51.940
 gospel writers

00:34:51.940 --> 00:34:53.940
 who make

00:34:53.940 --> 00:34:54.720
 mention of

00:34:54.720 --> 00:34:55.300
 this man

00:34:55.300 --> 00:34:57.220
 is that

00:34:57.220 --> 00:34:57.920
 what he

00:34:57.920 --> 00:34:58.559
 saw and

00:34:58.559 --> 00:34:59.019
 heard

00:34:59.019 --> 00:35:00.559
 is linked

00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:01.820
 to his

00:35:01.820 --> 00:35:02.400
 testimony.

00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:04.460
 And it

00:35:04.460 --> 00:35:05.039
 seems to me

00:35:05.039 --> 00:35:05.440
 that there

00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:06.240
 are two

00:35:06.240 --> 00:35:07.000
 aspects

00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:08.079
 to what

00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:08.679
 he saw

00:35:08.679 --> 00:35:10.039
 and heard.

00:35:10.700 --> 00:35:11.480
 First,

00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:12.740
 there is

00:35:12.740 --> 00:35:13.760
 clear

00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:15.240
 indisputable

00:35:15.240 --> 00:35:15.920
 evidence

00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:16.980
 for some

00:35:16.980 --> 00:35:17.320
 of the

00:35:17.320 --> 00:35:17.920
 things that

00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:18.280
 he saw

00:35:18.280 --> 00:35:18.880
 and heard.

00:35:20.260 --> 00:35:21.159
 But secondly,

00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:21.639
 there are

00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:22.519
 also things

00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:23.599
 that we

00:35:23.599 --> 00:35:24.659
 may speculate

00:35:24.659 --> 00:35:25.819
 he saw

00:35:25.819 --> 00:35:26.460
 and heard,

00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:27.500
 but of

00:35:27.500 --> 00:35:27.940
 which I

00:35:27.940 --> 00:35:29.460
 cannot give

00:35:29.460 --> 00:35:30.980
 clear proof

00:35:30.980 --> 00:35:32.339
 from the

00:35:32.339 --> 00:35:32.960
 Bible that

00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:33.379
 he did.

00:35:33.579 --> 00:35:33.900
 And I'd

00:35:33.900 --> 00:35:34.239
 like to

00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:34.579
 deal with

00:35:34.579 --> 00:35:35.039
 a second

00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:35.519
 of these

00:35:35.519 --> 00:35:35.960
 first.

00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:37.719
 John's

00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:38.119
 gospel

00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:39.079
 tells us

00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:40.139
 that when

00:35:40.139 --> 00:35:40.900
 Jesus was

00:35:40.900 --> 00:35:41.539
 arrested

00:35:41.539 --> 00:35:42.279
 in

00:35:42.279 --> 00:35:43.099
 Gethsemane,

00:35:43.900 --> 00:35:44.699
 that Judas

00:35:44.699 --> 00:35:48.199
 came

00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:49.759
 along

00:35:49.759 --> 00:35:50.059
 with

00:35:50.059 --> 00:35:51.079
 accompanied

00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:51.579
 by a

00:35:51.579 --> 00:35:52.119
 detachment

00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:52.480
 of

00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:53.000
 troops

00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:54.340
 and

00:35:54.340 --> 00:35:55.099
 also

00:35:55.099 --> 00:35:55.679
 others.

00:35:55.900 --> 00:35:56.599
 Then Judas

00:35:56.599 --> 00:35:57.440
 having received

00:35:57.440 --> 00:35:58.500
 a detachment

00:35:58.500 --> 00:35:59.099
 of troops

00:35:59.099 --> 00:35:59.639
 and officers

00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:00.079
 from the

00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:00.559
 chief priests

00:36:00.559 --> 00:36:01.259
 and Pharisees

00:36:01.259 --> 00:36:02.299
 came there.

00:36:03.059 --> 00:36:03.500
 And the

00:36:03.500 --> 00:36:03.819
 word

00:36:03.819 --> 00:36:04.619
 translated

00:36:04.619 --> 00:36:05.460
 detachment

00:36:05.460 --> 00:36:07.259
 is the

00:36:07.259 --> 00:36:07.880
 word for

00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:08.539
 a unit

00:36:08.539 --> 00:36:09.759
 of soldiers

00:36:09.759 --> 00:36:11.099
 which

00:36:11.099 --> 00:36:11.579
 could

00:36:11.579 --> 00:36:12.259
 consist

00:36:12.259 --> 00:36:13.380
 of up

00:36:13.380 --> 00:36:14.139
 to 600

00:36:14.139 --> 00:36:14.920
 soldiers.

00:36:14.920 --> 00:36:16.639
 commentators

00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:17.039
 are of

00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:17.519
 the view

00:36:17.519 --> 00:36:17.920
 that

00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:20.059
 the number

00:36:20.059 --> 00:36:20.700
 present

00:36:20.700 --> 00:36:21.500
 when Jesus

00:36:21.500 --> 00:36:22.320
 was arrested

00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:23.280
 was not

00:36:23.280 --> 00:36:23.940
 that many

00:36:23.940 --> 00:36:25.000
 but that

00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:25.519
 there could

00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:25.900
 be

00:36:25.900 --> 00:36:27.639
 up to

00:36:27.639 --> 00:36:28.519
 200.

00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:29.900
 Was there

00:36:29.900 --> 00:36:30.380
 even that

00:36:30.380 --> 00:36:30.720
 many?

00:36:31.300 --> 00:36:32.019
 It's not

00:36:32.019 --> 00:36:32.559
 easy to

00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:33.159
 determine

00:36:33.159 --> 00:36:34.340
 from what

00:36:34.340 --> 00:36:35.880
 is written.

00:36:37.159 --> 00:36:37.920
 But when

00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:38.260
 they were

00:36:38.260 --> 00:36:38.800
 asked the

00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:39.420
 question,

00:36:40.180 --> 00:36:40.900
 whom are you

00:36:40.900 --> 00:36:41.260
 seeking?

00:36:41.260 --> 00:36:43.140
 And they

00:36:43.140 --> 00:36:43.940
 responded,

00:36:44.520 --> 00:36:45.140
 Jesus of

00:36:45.140 --> 00:36:45.800
 Nazareth,

00:36:46.220 --> 00:36:47.100
 John writes,

00:36:47.780 --> 00:36:48.380
 now when

00:36:48.380 --> 00:36:48.860
 he said

00:36:48.860 --> 00:36:49.320
 to them,

00:36:49.460 --> 00:36:49.840
 I am

00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:50.160
 he,

00:36:50.700 --> 00:36:51.220
 they drew

00:36:51.220 --> 00:36:52.400
 back and

00:36:52.400 --> 00:36:52.920
 fell to

00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:53.500
 the ground.

00:36:54.600 --> 00:36:55.300
 And the

00:36:55.300 --> 00:36:56.060
 thrust of

00:36:56.060 --> 00:36:56.680
 the Bible

00:36:56.680 --> 00:36:58.320
 with the

00:36:58.320 --> 00:36:58.800
 life of

00:36:58.800 --> 00:36:59.240
 Jesus

00:36:59.240 --> 00:37:00.460
 indicates

00:37:00.460 --> 00:37:01.280
 that he

00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:02.040
 veiled his

00:37:02.040 --> 00:37:03.060
 glory when

00:37:03.060 --> 00:37:03.760
 he appeared

00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:04.580
 in this

00:37:04.580 --> 00:37:05.100
 world in

00:37:05.100 --> 00:37:05.740
 true human

00:37:05.740 --> 00:37:06.180
 nature.

00:37:06.780 --> 00:37:07.280
 But in

00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:08.200
 that particular

00:37:08.200 --> 00:37:09.040
 context,

00:37:09.600 --> 00:37:10.060
 there is,

00:37:10.060 --> 00:37:10.420
 as it

00:37:10.420 --> 00:37:10.660
 were,

00:37:10.659 --> 00:37:11.759
 a glimpse

00:37:11.759 --> 00:37:12.579
 of his

00:37:12.579 --> 00:37:13.759
 glory shines

00:37:13.759 --> 00:37:14.599
 through the

00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:15.000
 veil of

00:37:15.000 --> 00:37:15.159
 his

00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:15.719
 humanity.

00:37:16.659 --> 00:37:17.099
 And even

00:37:17.099 --> 00:37:18.139
 such a

00:37:18.139 --> 00:37:19.079
 brief glimpse

00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:19.500
 of his

00:37:19.500 --> 00:37:20.399
 glory is

00:37:20.399 --> 00:37:21.159
 enough to

00:37:21.159 --> 00:37:22.359
 floor the

00:37:22.359 --> 00:37:22.980
 arresting

00:37:22.980 --> 00:37:23.460
 party.

00:37:23.859 --> 00:37:24.219
 It's as

00:37:24.219 --> 00:37:24.519
 if they

00:37:24.519 --> 00:37:25.739
 were paralyzed.

00:37:27.059 --> 00:37:27.460
 And the

00:37:27.460 --> 00:37:28.119
 question I'd

00:37:28.119 --> 00:37:28.500
 like to

00:37:28.500 --> 00:37:29.039
 pose is

00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:29.319
 this,

00:37:29.920 --> 00:37:31.339
 was this

00:37:31.339 --> 00:37:32.159
 centurion

00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:33.359
 among them?

00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:36.839
 Was he

00:37:36.839 --> 00:37:37.679
 struck by

00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:38.699
 the air

00:37:38.699 --> 00:37:39.500
 of authority

00:37:39.500 --> 00:37:41.440
 that

00:37:41.440 --> 00:37:42.480
 emanated

00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:43.119
 from this

00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:43.719
 person

00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:45.139
 whom they

00:37:45.139 --> 00:37:45.460
 had been

00:37:45.460 --> 00:37:46.119
 sent to

00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:46.579
 arrest?

00:37:48.340 --> 00:37:49.559
 And I

00:37:49.559 --> 00:37:49.940
 don't

00:37:49.940 --> 00:37:50.800
 discount the

00:37:50.800 --> 00:37:51.519
 possibility,

00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:52.860
 but I

00:37:52.860 --> 00:37:53.719
 cannot prove,

00:37:53.840 --> 00:37:54.239
 on the other

00:37:54.239 --> 00:37:54.659
 hand,

00:37:55.159 --> 00:37:56.000
 that he was

00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:56.440
 there.

00:37:57.460 --> 00:37:57.920
 Jesus

00:37:57.920 --> 00:37:58.940
 permitted them

00:37:58.940 --> 00:37:59.679
 to arrest

00:37:59.679 --> 00:37:59.920
 him.

00:38:00.579 --> 00:38:00.880
 He was

00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:01.460
 taken to

00:38:01.460 --> 00:38:01.900
 Annas,

00:38:01.980 --> 00:38:02.400
 the high

00:38:02.400 --> 00:38:02.739
 priest,

00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:03.400
 to Pilate,

00:38:03.500 --> 00:38:04.000
 to Herod,

00:38:04.300 --> 00:38:04.820
 and back

00:38:04.820 --> 00:38:05.340
 again to

00:38:05.340 --> 00:38:05.760
 Pilate.

00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:06.060
 and you

00:38:06.060 --> 00:38:06.460
 know the

00:38:06.460 --> 00:38:06.860
 story.

00:38:07.620 --> 00:38:07.980
 His

00:38:07.980 --> 00:38:09.060
 accuser

00:38:09.060 --> 00:38:09.960
 stating that

00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:11.120
 he claimed

00:38:11.120 --> 00:38:11.740
 to be the

00:38:11.740 --> 00:38:12.120
 Son of

00:38:12.120 --> 00:38:12.500
 God.

00:38:13.740 --> 00:38:14.960
 And from

00:38:14.960 --> 00:38:15.440
 their

00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:16.880
 mockery,

00:38:17.720 --> 00:38:18.020
 they are

00:38:18.020 --> 00:38:18.600
 in total

00:38:18.600 --> 00:38:20.420
 denial as

00:38:20.420 --> 00:38:20.840
 to the

00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:22.480
 identity of

00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:23.220
 this person.

00:38:23.900 --> 00:38:24.340
 They are

00:38:24.340 --> 00:38:24.900
 stating,

00:38:25.380 --> 00:38:25.800
 by the way

00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:26.380
 they treat

00:38:26.380 --> 00:38:26.860
 Jesus,

00:38:27.300 --> 00:38:27.660
 they do

00:38:27.660 --> 00:38:28.140
 not believe

00:38:28.140 --> 00:38:28.680
 for one

00:38:28.680 --> 00:38:29.920
 moment that

00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:31.120
 he is the

00:38:31.120 --> 00:38:31.520
 Son of

00:38:31.520 --> 00:38:31.920
 God.

00:38:31.920 --> 00:38:34.460
 did this

00:38:34.460 --> 00:38:35.240
 centurion,

00:38:35.780 --> 00:38:36.240
 did he

00:38:36.240 --> 00:38:37.820
 agree with

00:38:37.820 --> 00:38:38.500
 that initial

00:38:38.500 --> 00:38:39.119
 assessment?

00:38:40.380 --> 00:38:41.320
 And again,

00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:43.800
 I have to

00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:44.139
 say,

00:38:44.940 --> 00:38:45.579
 probably,

00:38:46.440 --> 00:38:46.940
 but I

00:38:46.940 --> 00:38:47.639
 cannot prove

00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:47.900
 it.

00:38:50.420 --> 00:38:51.400
 Jesus was

00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:51.920
 mocked.

00:38:52.019 --> 00:38:52.340
 He was

00:38:52.340 --> 00:38:52.980
 assaulted.

00:38:53.519 --> 00:38:54.000
 They beat

00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:54.180
 him.

00:38:55.260 --> 00:38:56.139
 John writes

00:38:56.139 --> 00:38:56.880
 of how

00:38:56.880 --> 00:38:57.920
 Jesus was

00:38:57.920 --> 00:38:58.480
 ill-treated

00:38:58.480 --> 00:38:58.940
 by the

00:38:58.940 --> 00:38:59.559
 soldiers and

00:38:59.559 --> 00:38:59.880
 how they

00:38:59.880 --> 00:39:00.340
 mocked his

00:39:00.340 --> 00:39:00.700
 claims.

00:39:01.059 --> 00:39:01.200
 The

00:39:01.200 --> 00:39:01.659
 soldiers

00:39:01.659 --> 00:39:02.399
 twisted a

00:39:02.399 --> 00:39:02.859
 crown of

00:39:02.859 --> 00:39:03.539
 thorns and

00:39:03.539 --> 00:39:03.980
 put it on

00:39:03.980 --> 00:39:04.460
 his head.

00:39:04.779 --> 00:39:05.079
 They put

00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:05.500
 on him a

00:39:05.500 --> 00:39:06.159
 purple robe.

00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:06.539
 Then they

00:39:06.539 --> 00:39:06.719
 said,

00:39:06.819 --> 00:39:06.940
 Hail,

00:39:07.059 --> 00:39:07.339
 King of

00:39:07.339 --> 00:39:07.639
 the Jews.

00:39:07.920 --> 00:39:08.399
 And they

00:39:08.399 --> 00:39:09.039
 struck him

00:39:09.039 --> 00:39:09.719
 with their

00:39:09.719 --> 00:39:10.159
 hands.

00:39:10.940 --> 00:39:11.539
 Was the

00:39:11.539 --> 00:39:12.339
 centurion

00:39:12.339 --> 00:39:14.079
 part of

00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:14.819
 this group?

00:39:15.739 --> 00:39:16.379
 It is

00:39:16.379 --> 00:39:16.879
 possible

00:39:16.879 --> 00:39:18.339
 that he

00:39:18.339 --> 00:39:19.019
 witnessed

00:39:19.019 --> 00:39:20.159
 all of

00:39:20.159 --> 00:39:20.980
 these events,

00:39:21.759 --> 00:39:23.359
 but I

00:39:23.359 --> 00:39:23.960
 cannot

00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:24.899
 produce

00:39:24.899 --> 00:39:25.839
 the

00:39:25.839 --> 00:39:26.480
 evidence

00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:27.519
 from the

00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:27.940
 Bible

00:39:27.940 --> 00:39:28.879
 that he

00:39:28.879 --> 00:39:29.179
 did.

00:39:30.019 --> 00:39:30.399
 So,

00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:31.039
 that's

00:39:31.039 --> 00:39:31.260
 the

00:39:31.260 --> 00:39:32.000
 second

00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:32.380
 thing.

00:39:32.539 --> 00:39:33.019
 We may

00:39:33.019 --> 00:39:33.660
 speculate

00:39:33.660 --> 00:39:34.460
 about that.

00:39:34.960 --> 00:39:35.260
 But the

00:39:35.260 --> 00:39:35.780
 first thing

00:39:35.780 --> 00:39:36.280
 is this.

00:39:36.960 --> 00:39:37.340
 There is

00:39:37.340 --> 00:39:37.940
 clear,

00:39:38.380 --> 00:39:39.300
 indisputable

00:39:39.300 --> 00:39:40.059
 evidence for

00:39:40.059 --> 00:39:40.500
 some of

00:39:40.500 --> 00:39:41.039
 the things

00:39:41.039 --> 00:39:41.660
 that he

00:39:41.660 --> 00:39:42.099
 saw and

00:39:42.099 --> 00:39:42.480
 heard.

00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:43.720
 Matthew in

00:39:43.720 --> 00:39:44.680
 his gospel

00:39:44.680 --> 00:39:45.200
 narrative

00:39:45.200 --> 00:39:46.460
 relates,

00:39:46.740 --> 00:39:47.380
 the earthquake,

00:39:47.660 --> 00:39:48.079
 the rocks

00:39:48.079 --> 00:39:48.700
 were split,

00:39:48.840 --> 00:39:49.059
 and the

00:39:49.059 --> 00:39:49.519
 graves were

00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:49.780
 opened,

00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:50.180
 and many

00:39:50.180 --> 00:39:50.720
 bodies of

00:39:50.720 --> 00:39:51.180
 the saints

00:39:51.180 --> 00:39:51.860
 who had

00:39:51.860 --> 00:39:52.519
 fallen asleep

00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:53.099
 were raised

00:39:53.099 --> 00:39:53.519
 and coming

00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:54.079
 out of the

00:39:54.079 --> 00:39:54.680
 graves after

00:39:54.680 --> 00:39:55.400
 resurrection.

00:39:55.860 --> 00:39:56.180
 They went

00:39:56.180 --> 00:39:56.559
 into the

00:39:56.559 --> 00:39:57.119
 holy city

00:39:57.119 --> 00:39:57.519
 and appeared

00:39:57.519 --> 00:39:58.000
 to many.

00:39:58.659 --> 00:39:59.119
 So,

00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:00.420
 when the

00:40:00.420 --> 00:40:01.300
 centurion

00:40:01.300 --> 00:40:02.739
 and those

00:40:02.739 --> 00:40:03.199
 with him

00:40:03.199 --> 00:40:03.539
 who were

00:40:03.539 --> 00:40:04.019
 guarding

00:40:04.019 --> 00:40:04.539
 Jesus

00:40:04.539 --> 00:40:05.759
 saw the

00:40:05.759 --> 00:40:06.320
 earthquake

00:40:06.320 --> 00:40:07.019
 and the

00:40:07.019 --> 00:40:07.500
 things that

00:40:07.500 --> 00:40:08.139
 had happened,

00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:10.159
 they feared

00:40:10.159 --> 00:40:10.980
 greatly.

00:40:13.259 --> 00:40:13.780
 So,

00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:15.500
 these were

00:40:15.500 --> 00:40:16.320
 some things

00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:17.199
 that he

00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:18.360
 saw and

00:40:18.360 --> 00:40:18.820
 heard,

00:40:20.139 --> 00:40:20.840
 and they

00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:21.900
 resulted in

00:40:21.900 --> 00:40:22.880
 producing

00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:24.960
 fear in

00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:25.340
 the life

00:40:25.340 --> 00:40:25.739
 of this

00:40:25.739 --> 00:40:26.059
 man.

00:40:26.059 --> 00:40:27.679
 did that

00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:28.119
 indicate

00:40:28.119 --> 00:40:28.820
 that he

00:40:28.820 --> 00:40:29.579
 was fearful

00:40:29.579 --> 00:40:30.500
 of the

00:40:30.500 --> 00:40:31.320
 consequences

00:40:31.320 --> 00:40:32.400
 of what

00:40:32.400 --> 00:40:32.719
 he had

00:40:32.719 --> 00:40:33.340
 done in

00:40:33.340 --> 00:40:33.980
 carrying out

00:40:33.980 --> 00:40:34.599
 his orders?

00:40:35.539 --> 00:40:36.880
 Because it

00:40:36.880 --> 00:40:37.519
 is more than

00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:38.860
 likely that

00:40:38.860 --> 00:40:39.279
 he was

00:40:39.279 --> 00:40:40.539
 responsible for

00:40:40.539 --> 00:40:41.420
 issuing the

00:40:41.420 --> 00:40:42.840
 command to

00:40:42.840 --> 00:40:43.860
 nail Jesus

00:40:43.860 --> 00:40:44.779
 to the

00:40:44.779 --> 00:40:45.179
 cross.

00:40:46.019 --> 00:40:46.599
 He would

00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:47.360
 have witnessed

00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:48.440
 the meek

00:40:48.440 --> 00:40:49.440
 submission of

00:40:49.440 --> 00:40:50.460
 Jesus to

00:40:50.460 --> 00:40:51.679
 this most

00:40:51.679 --> 00:40:52.679
 inhumane

00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:53.179
 action.

00:40:54.460 --> 00:40:55.079
 There is no

00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:55.920
 evidence of

00:40:55.920 --> 00:40:57.539
 resistance or

00:40:57.539 --> 00:40:58.780
 struggle to

00:40:58.780 --> 00:40:59.840
 escape on

00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:00.420
 the part of

00:41:00.420 --> 00:41:00.720
 Jesus.

00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:01.940
 There is no

00:41:01.940 --> 00:41:03.220
 verbal abuse

00:41:03.220 --> 00:41:03.880
 aimed at the

00:41:03.880 --> 00:41:04.900
 soldiers who

00:41:04.900 --> 00:41:05.659
 carried out

00:41:05.659 --> 00:41:07.000
 the act of

00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:07.860
 nailing him

00:41:07.860 --> 00:41:08.240
 to the

00:41:08.240 --> 00:41:08.680
 cross.

00:41:09.740 --> 00:41:10.740
 Because this

00:41:10.740 --> 00:41:11.420
 is one of

00:41:11.420 --> 00:41:12.220
 whom the

00:41:12.220 --> 00:41:13.059
 prophet Isaiah

00:41:13.059 --> 00:41:13.619
 could write

00:41:13.619 --> 00:41:14.500
 hundreds of

00:41:14.500 --> 00:41:15.400
 years beforehand

00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:16.780
 as he spoke

00:41:16.780 --> 00:41:17.220
 of the

00:41:17.220 --> 00:41:18.500
 suffering servant

00:41:18.500 --> 00:41:19.340
 of Jehovah.

00:41:19.760 --> 00:41:20.099
 He was

00:41:20.099 --> 00:41:20.960
 oppressed and

00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:21.260
 he was

00:41:21.260 --> 00:41:22.019
 afflicted,

00:41:22.380 --> 00:41:22.700
 yet he

00:41:22.700 --> 00:41:23.220
 opened not

00:41:23.220 --> 00:41:23.800
 his marks.

00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:24.480
 He was

00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:24.920
 led as

00:41:24.920 --> 00:41:25.400
 a lamb

00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:25.840
 to the

00:41:25.840 --> 00:41:26.260
 slaughter.

00:41:26.820 --> 00:41:27.380
 And as a

00:41:27.380 --> 00:41:27.920
 sheep before

00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:28.440
 his shearer

00:41:28.440 --> 00:41:29.100
 was silent,

00:41:29.460 --> 00:41:30.460
 so he

00:41:30.460 --> 00:41:31.080
 opened not

00:41:31.080 --> 00:41:31.760
 his mouth.

00:41:33.060 --> 00:41:33.880
 So there

00:41:33.880 --> 00:41:34.620
 is Isaiah

00:41:34.620 --> 00:41:35.440
 predicting

00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:37.560
 with the

00:41:37.560 --> 00:41:38.160
 spirit of

00:41:38.160 --> 00:41:39.320
 prophecy the

00:41:39.320 --> 00:41:40.760
 silence of

00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:41.300
 the Lamb

00:41:41.300 --> 00:41:42.019
 of God

00:41:42.019 --> 00:41:43.080
 as he

00:41:43.080 --> 00:41:44.560
 comes before

00:41:44.560 --> 00:41:45.180
 those who

00:41:45.180 --> 00:41:46.000
 are sitting

00:41:46.000 --> 00:41:46.720
 in judgment

00:41:46.720 --> 00:41:47.300
 on him

00:41:47.300 --> 00:41:48.160
 and who

00:41:48.160 --> 00:41:48.840
 are ill

00:41:48.840 --> 00:41:49.260
 treating

00:41:49.260 --> 00:41:49.519
 him.

00:41:49.519 --> 00:41:50.800
 the

00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:51.539
 centurion

00:41:51.539 --> 00:41:52.400
 could not

00:41:52.400 --> 00:41:54.039
 but fail

00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:54.840
 to notice

00:41:54.840 --> 00:41:55.960
 the calm

00:41:55.960 --> 00:41:56.739
 demeanor

00:41:56.739 --> 00:41:57.519
 of Christ

00:41:57.519 --> 00:41:59.360
 in the

00:41:59.360 --> 00:41:59.880
 face of

00:41:59.880 --> 00:42:00.259
 such

00:42:00.259 --> 00:42:01.480
 provocation.

00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:02.639
 He would

00:42:02.639 --> 00:42:03.219
 have heard

00:42:03.219 --> 00:42:04.019
 the mocking

00:42:04.019 --> 00:42:04.679
 taunts

00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:05.599
 of those

00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:06.219
 who surrounded

00:42:06.219 --> 00:42:06.920
 the cross.

00:42:07.199 --> 00:42:07.639
 He would

00:42:07.639 --> 00:42:08.039
 have heard

00:42:08.039 --> 00:42:08.639
 the mocking

00:42:08.639 --> 00:42:09.139
 and the

00:42:09.139 --> 00:42:09.840
 initial

00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:11.099
 remonstration

00:42:11.099 --> 00:42:12.179
 of both

00:42:12.179 --> 00:42:12.539
 of the

00:42:12.539 --> 00:42:13.059
 men who

00:42:13.059 --> 00:42:14.019
 were crucified

00:42:14.019 --> 00:42:14.639
 on either

00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:15.280
 side of

00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:15.639
 Jesus

00:42:15.639 --> 00:42:16.800
 because both

00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:17.320
 of them

00:42:17.320 --> 00:42:18.720
 mocked

00:42:18.720 --> 00:42:19.220
 Jesus

00:42:19.220 --> 00:42:19.820
 initially

00:42:19.820 --> 00:42:21.420
 and the

00:42:21.420 --> 00:42:22.019
 centurion

00:42:22.019 --> 00:42:22.460
 would be

00:42:22.460 --> 00:42:23.060
 aware

00:42:23.060 --> 00:42:24.539
 of

00:42:24.539 --> 00:42:25.480
 the

00:42:25.480 --> 00:42:26.100
 character

00:42:26.100 --> 00:42:27.000
 of these

00:42:27.000 --> 00:42:27.700
 two men

00:42:27.700 --> 00:42:28.160
 and their

00:42:28.160 --> 00:42:29.320
 reputation.

00:42:31.200 --> 00:42:32.039
 Did

00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:32.640
 the

00:42:32.640 --> 00:42:33.340
 centurion

00:42:33.340 --> 00:42:33.900
 hear

00:42:33.900 --> 00:42:35.420
 the message

00:42:35.420 --> 00:42:35.720
 of

00:42:35.720 --> 00:42:36.700
 marvelous

00:42:36.700 --> 00:42:37.480
 grace

00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:38.600
 addressed

00:42:38.600 --> 00:42:39.720
 to one

00:42:39.720 --> 00:42:40.060
 of the

00:42:40.060 --> 00:42:40.400
 dying

00:42:40.400 --> 00:42:41.160
 thieves?

00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:42.560
 You

00:42:42.560 --> 00:42:43.080
 remember

00:42:43.080 --> 00:42:44.280
 what Jesus

00:42:44.280 --> 00:42:44.920
 said to

00:42:44.920 --> 00:42:45.120
 him.

00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:45.860
 Remember

00:42:45.860 --> 00:42:46.680
 he had

00:42:46.680 --> 00:42:47.099
 pleaded

00:42:47.099 --> 00:42:47.380
 with

00:42:47.380 --> 00:42:47.960
 Christ

00:42:47.960 --> 00:42:48.700
 Lord

00:42:48.700 --> 00:42:49.579
 remember

00:42:49.579 --> 00:42:50.019
 me.

00:42:51.420 --> 00:42:51.780
 It's

00:42:51.780 --> 00:42:52.099
 such

00:42:52.099 --> 00:42:53.280
 an

00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:53.920
 impressive

00:42:53.920 --> 00:42:54.680
 prayer

00:42:54.680 --> 00:42:57.660
 and it's

00:42:57.660 --> 00:42:58.680
 a prayer

00:42:58.680 --> 00:42:59.099
 that

00:42:59.099 --> 00:43:01.460
 fits

00:43:01.460 --> 00:43:02.099
 every one

00:43:02.099 --> 00:43:02.660
 of us.

00:43:04.160 --> 00:43:04.579
 Lord

00:43:04.579 --> 00:43:05.599
 remember

00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:06.019
 me.

00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:07.740
 And

00:43:07.740 --> 00:43:07.880
 you

00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:08.380
 remember

00:43:08.380 --> 00:43:08.640
 the

00:43:08.640 --> 00:43:09.300
 response

00:43:09.300 --> 00:43:09.559
 of

00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:10.059
 Christ.

00:43:10.480 --> 00:43:11.099
 Assuredly

00:43:11.099 --> 00:43:11.579
 I say

00:43:11.579 --> 00:43:11.860
 to you

00:43:11.860 --> 00:43:12.420
 today

00:43:12.420 --> 00:43:12.740
 you

00:43:12.740 --> 00:43:12.920
 will

00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:13.039
 be

00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:13.300
 with

00:43:13.300 --> 00:43:13.480
 me

00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:13.660
 in

00:43:13.660 --> 00:43:14.120
 paradise.

00:43:15.860 --> 00:43:19.000
 did

00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:19.380
 Jesus

00:43:19.380 --> 00:43:19.860
 speak

00:43:19.860 --> 00:43:20.059
 it

00:43:20.059 --> 00:43:20.440
 loudly

00:43:20.440 --> 00:43:20.920
 enough

00:43:20.920 --> 00:43:21.620
 for

00:43:21.620 --> 00:43:21.840
 the

00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:22.440
 centurion

00:43:22.440 --> 00:43:22.680
 to

00:43:22.680 --> 00:43:23.079
 hear?

00:43:24.400 --> 00:43:25.140
 It's

00:43:25.140 --> 00:43:25.599
 possible.

00:43:27.140 --> 00:43:27.700
 The

00:43:27.700 --> 00:43:28.260
 centurion

00:43:28.260 --> 00:43:28.800
 would also

00:43:28.800 --> 00:43:29.400
 have seen

00:43:29.400 --> 00:43:30.480
 the thick

00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:31.740
 judgmental

00:43:31.740 --> 00:43:32.280
 darkness

00:43:32.280 --> 00:43:32.740
 that

00:43:32.740 --> 00:43:33.500
 covered

00:43:33.500 --> 00:43:33.800
 the

00:43:33.800 --> 00:43:34.160
 sight

00:43:34.160 --> 00:43:34.579
 from

00:43:34.579 --> 00:43:35.800
 midday

00:43:35.800 --> 00:43:36.140
 until

00:43:36.140 --> 00:43:36.960
 3pm.

00:43:39.039 --> 00:43:39.720
 He

00:43:39.720 --> 00:43:40.140
 must have

00:43:40.140 --> 00:43:40.460
 wondered

00:43:40.460 --> 00:43:40.900
 about

00:43:40.900 --> 00:43:41.240
 that.

00:43:41.239 --> 00:43:42.699
 he

00:43:42.699 --> 00:43:42.939
 would

00:43:42.939 --> 00:43:43.139
 have

00:43:43.139 --> 00:43:45.699
 heard

00:43:45.699 --> 00:43:45.979
 the

00:43:45.979 --> 00:43:46.399
 cry

00:43:46.399 --> 00:43:46.639
 of

00:43:46.639 --> 00:43:47.359
 dereliction

00:43:47.359 --> 00:43:48.179
 that

00:43:48.179 --> 00:43:49.159
 pierced

00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:49.379
 the

00:43:49.379 --> 00:43:49.619
 thick

00:43:49.619 --> 00:43:50.139
 darkness

00:43:50.139 --> 00:43:50.500
 when

00:43:50.500 --> 00:43:50.919
 Christ

00:43:50.919 --> 00:43:51.339
 cried

00:43:51.339 --> 00:43:51.599
 out

00:43:51.599 --> 00:43:51.819
 my

00:43:51.819 --> 00:43:52.199
 God

00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:52.419
 my

00:43:52.419 --> 00:43:52.819
 God

00:43:52.819 --> 00:43:53.419
 why

00:43:53.419 --> 00:43:53.859
 have

00:43:53.859 --> 00:43:54.019
 you

00:43:54.019 --> 00:43:54.559
 forsaken

00:43:54.559 --> 00:43:54.919
 me?

00:43:56.500 --> 00:43:56.679
 And

00:43:56.679 --> 00:43:57.059
 Mark

00:43:57.059 --> 00:43:57.739
 in this

00:43:57.739 --> 00:43:58.819
 particular

00:43:58.819 --> 00:43:59.639
 context

00:43:59.639 --> 00:44:00.699
 especially

00:44:00.699 --> 00:44:01.519
 links

00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:01.839
 the

00:44:01.839 --> 00:44:02.759
 testimony

00:44:02.759 --> 00:44:03.299
 of the

00:44:03.299 --> 00:44:04.019
 centurion

00:44:04.019 --> 00:44:05.439
 to

00:44:05.439 --> 00:44:05.719
 his

00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:06.379
 observation

00:44:06.379 --> 00:44:07.159
 of the

00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:07.519
 manner

00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:08.439
 in

00:44:08.439 --> 00:44:08.919
 which

00:44:08.919 --> 00:44:09.879
 Christ

00:44:09.879 --> 00:44:10.479
 died.

00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:11.380
 Mark

00:44:11.380 --> 00:44:11.820
 writes

00:44:11.820 --> 00:44:12.300
 and

00:44:12.300 --> 00:44:12.820
 Jesus

00:44:12.820 --> 00:44:13.500
 cried

00:44:13.500 --> 00:44:13.780
 out

00:44:13.780 --> 00:44:14.000
 with

00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:14.179
 a

00:44:14.179 --> 00:44:14.440
 loud

00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:14.860
 voice

00:44:14.860 --> 00:44:15.500
 and

00:44:15.500 --> 00:44:16.059
 breathed

00:44:16.059 --> 00:44:16.219
 his

00:44:16.219 --> 00:44:16.679
 last.

00:44:17.320 --> 00:44:17.440
 And

00:44:17.440 --> 00:44:17.619
 then

00:44:17.619 --> 00:44:17.760
 in

00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:17.960
 our

00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:18.340
 text

00:44:18.340 --> 00:44:18.740
 he

00:44:18.740 --> 00:44:18.960
 goes

00:44:18.960 --> 00:44:19.179
 on

00:44:19.179 --> 00:44:19.320
 to

00:44:19.320 --> 00:44:19.599
 write

00:44:19.599 --> 00:44:20.280
 so

00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:20.599
 when

00:44:20.599 --> 00:44:20.780
 the

00:44:20.780 --> 00:44:21.400
 centurion

00:44:21.400 --> 00:44:21.599
 who

00:44:21.599 --> 00:44:21.860
 stood

00:44:21.860 --> 00:44:22.199
 opposite

00:44:22.199 --> 00:44:22.460
 him

00:44:22.460 --> 00:44:23.000
 saw

00:44:23.000 --> 00:44:23.240
 that

00:44:23.240 --> 00:44:23.380
 he

00:44:23.380 --> 00:44:23.679
 cried

00:44:23.679 --> 00:44:23.920
 out

00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:24.119
 like

00:44:24.119 --> 00:44:24.340
 this

00:44:24.340 --> 00:44:24.480
 and

00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:25.159
 breathed

00:44:25.159 --> 00:44:25.320
 his

00:44:25.320 --> 00:44:25.599
 last

00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:25.760
 he

00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:25.980
 said

00:44:25.980 --> 00:44:26.719
 truly

00:44:26.719 --> 00:44:27.099
 this

00:44:27.099 --> 00:44:27.440
 man

00:44:27.440 --> 00:44:27.980
 was

00:44:27.980 --> 00:44:28.199
 the

00:44:28.199 --> 00:44:28.420
 son

00:44:28.420 --> 00:44:28.599
 of

00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:29.039
 God.

00:44:30.500 --> 00:44:30.800
 Now

00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:30.980
 we

00:44:30.980 --> 00:44:31.280
 know

00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:31.579
 that

00:44:31.579 --> 00:44:32.539
 people

00:44:32.539 --> 00:44:33.639
 respond

00:44:33.639 --> 00:44:34.460
 to

00:44:34.460 --> 00:44:34.679
 the

00:44:34.679 --> 00:44:34.960
 death

00:44:34.960 --> 00:44:35.159
 of

00:44:35.159 --> 00:44:35.579
 Christ

00:44:35.579 --> 00:44:35.820
 on

00:44:35.820 --> 00:44:36.000
 the

00:44:36.000 --> 00:44:36.380
 cross

00:44:36.380 --> 00:44:37.079
 in

00:44:37.079 --> 00:44:37.500
 different

00:44:37.500 --> 00:44:38.099
 ways.

00:44:39.000 --> 00:44:39.099
 If

00:44:39.099 --> 00:45:09.079
 you

00:45:09.079 --> 00:45:09.299
 in

00:45:09.299 --> 00:45:09.659
 your

00:45:09.659 --> 00:45:10.179
 life

00:45:10.179 --> 00:45:13.099
 that

00:45:13.099 --> 00:45:13.299
 the

00:45:13.299 --> 00:45:13.619
 death

00:45:13.619 --> 00:45:13.840
 of

00:45:13.840 --> 00:45:14.440
 Christ

00:45:14.440 --> 00:45:16.360
 means

00:45:16.360 --> 00:45:16.659
 that

00:45:16.659 --> 00:45:16.799
 you

00:45:16.799 --> 00:45:16.960
 are

00:45:16.960 --> 00:45:17.480
 forever

00:45:17.480 --> 00:45:18.779
 thanking

00:45:18.779 --> 00:45:19.079
 the

00:45:19.079 --> 00:45:19.539
 Lord

00:45:19.539 --> 00:45:21.099
 that

00:45:21.099 --> 00:45:21.559
 Christ

00:45:21.559 --> 00:45:21.960
 Jesus

00:45:21.960 --> 00:45:22.400
 came

00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:22.639
 into

00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:22.819
 the

00:45:22.819 --> 00:45:23.219
 world

00:45:23.219 --> 00:45:24.239
 to

00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:24.639
 seek

00:45:24.639 --> 00:45:24.840
 and

00:45:24.840 --> 00:45:25.019
 to

00:45:25.019 --> 00:45:25.480
 save

00:45:25.480 --> 00:45:26.400
 that

00:45:26.400 --> 00:45:26.639
 which

00:45:26.639 --> 00:45:26.860
 was

00:45:26.860 --> 00:45:27.559
 lost.

00:45:29.279 --> 00:45:30.000
 It

00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:30.199
 is

00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:30.679
 obvious

00:45:30.679 --> 00:45:31.000
 then

00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:31.360
 that

00:45:31.360 --> 00:45:31.599
 the

00:45:31.599 --> 00:45:32.000
 manner

00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:32.279
 of

00:45:32.279 --> 00:45:32.739
 Christ

00:45:32.739 --> 00:45:33.179
 dying

00:45:33.179 --> 00:45:34.159
 had

00:45:34.159 --> 00:45:34.360
 a

00:45:34.360 --> 00:45:35.079
 profound

00:45:35.079 --> 00:45:37.000
 effect

00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:37.779
 on

00:45:37.779 --> 00:45:37.960
 the

00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:38.480
 opinion

00:45:38.480 --> 00:45:39.260
 of

00:45:39.260 --> 00:45:39.539
 this

00:45:39.539 --> 00:45:39.940
 man

00:45:39.940 --> 00:45:40.960
 as

00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:41.219
 to

00:45:41.219 --> 00:45:41.460
 the

00:45:41.460 --> 00:45:42.240
 identity

00:45:42.240 --> 00:45:43.019
 of

00:45:43.019 --> 00:45:43.380
 Jesus

00:45:43.380 --> 00:45:43.639
 of

00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:44.159
 Nazareth.

00:45:44.579 --> 00:45:44.860
 He

00:45:44.860 --> 00:45:45.260
 heard

00:45:45.260 --> 00:45:45.480
 him

00:45:45.480 --> 00:45:46.219
 cry

00:45:46.219 --> 00:45:46.800
 with

00:45:46.800 --> 00:45:46.960
 a

00:45:46.960 --> 00:45:47.179
 loud

00:45:47.179 --> 00:45:47.719
 voice

00:45:47.719 --> 00:45:48.559
 and

00:45:48.559 --> 00:45:48.760
 he

00:45:48.760 --> 00:45:49.000
 saw

00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:49.179
 him

00:45:49.179 --> 00:45:49.539
 breathe

00:45:49.539 --> 00:45:49.740
 his

00:45:49.740 --> 00:45:50.059
 last.

00:45:50.159 --> 00:45:50.460
 Remember

00:45:50.460 --> 00:45:51.300
 Jesus

00:45:51.300 --> 00:45:51.599
 had

00:45:51.599 --> 00:45:51.820
 been

00:45:51.820 --> 00:45:52.420
 hanging

00:45:52.420 --> 00:45:52.639
 on

00:45:52.639 --> 00:45:52.800
 the

00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:53.139
 cross

00:45:53.139 --> 00:45:53.400
 for

00:45:53.400 --> 00:45:54.099
 six

00:45:54.099 --> 00:45:54.679
 hours

00:45:54.679 --> 00:45:55.079
 the

00:45:55.079 --> 00:45:55.420
 third

00:45:55.420 --> 00:45:55.840
 hour

00:45:55.840 --> 00:45:56.780
 to

00:45:56.780 --> 00:45:56.980
 the

00:45:56.980 --> 00:45:57.340
 ninth

00:45:57.340 --> 00:45:57.780
 hour

00:45:57.780 --> 00:45:58.420
 on

00:45:58.420 --> 00:45:59.980
 our

00:45:59.980 --> 00:46:00.500
 clock

00:46:00.500 --> 00:46:01.420
 nine

00:46:01.420 --> 00:46:01.960
 in the

00:46:01.960 --> 00:46:02.280
 morning

00:46:02.280 --> 00:46:02.519
 till

00:46:02.519 --> 00:46:02.780
 three

00:46:02.780 --> 00:46:03.019
 in the

00:46:03.019 --> 00:46:03.539
 afternoon.

00:46:04.380 --> 00:46:04.639
 He

00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:05.000
 heard

00:46:05.000 --> 00:46:05.420
 Jesus

00:46:05.420 --> 00:46:05.980
 cry

00:46:05.980 --> 00:46:06.500
 with

00:46:06.500 --> 00:46:06.659
 a

00:46:06.659 --> 00:46:06.920
 loud

00:46:06.920 --> 00:46:07.380
 voice

00:46:07.380 --> 00:46:08.079
 and

00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:08.480
 John

00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:09.880
 in

00:46:09.880 --> 00:46:10.139
 his

00:46:10.139 --> 00:46:10.579
 gospel

00:46:10.579 --> 00:46:11.079
 tells

00:46:11.079 --> 00:46:11.380
 us

00:46:11.380 --> 00:46:11.920
 that

00:46:11.920 --> 00:46:12.280
 Jesus

00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:12.860
 cried

00:46:12.860 --> 00:46:13.179
 out

00:46:13.179 --> 00:46:13.619
 it

00:46:13.619 --> 00:46:13.820
 is

00:46:13.820 --> 00:46:14.300
 finished.

00:46:14.820 --> 00:46:14.920
 In

00:46:14.920 --> 00:46:15.059
 the

00:46:15.059 --> 00:46:15.300
 Greek

00:46:15.300 --> 00:46:15.539
 it's

00:46:15.539 --> 00:46:15.760
 just

00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:16.079
 one

00:46:16.079 --> 00:46:16.480
 word

00:46:16.480 --> 00:46:17.860
 tetelestai.

00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:20.039
 Did

00:46:20.039 --> 00:46:20.960
 the

00:46:20.960 --> 00:46:21.639
 centurion

00:46:21.639 --> 00:46:22.539
 understand

00:46:22.539 --> 00:46:23.639
 the

00:46:23.639 --> 00:46:24.320
 significance

00:46:24.320 --> 00:46:25.400
 of what

00:46:25.400 --> 00:46:25.780
 Christ

00:46:25.780 --> 00:46:26.219
 said?

00:46:27.059 --> 00:46:27.519
 I

00:46:27.519 --> 00:46:27.860
 can't

00:46:27.860 --> 00:46:28.059
 be

00:46:28.059 --> 00:46:28.380
 sure

00:46:28.380 --> 00:46:29.320
 about

00:46:29.320 --> 00:46:29.760
 that.

00:46:30.820 --> 00:46:31.199
 But

00:46:31.199 --> 00:46:31.820
 I

00:46:31.820 --> 00:46:32.179
 think

00:46:32.179 --> 00:46:32.380
 he

00:46:32.380 --> 00:46:32.920
 would

00:46:32.920 --> 00:46:33.599
 certainly

00:46:33.599 --> 00:46:34.000
 have

00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:34.440
 found

00:46:34.440 --> 00:46:34.639
 it

00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:35.280
 peculiar

00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:36.539
 that

00:46:36.539 --> 00:46:37.079
 a

00:46:37.079 --> 00:46:38.059
 weakened

00:46:38.059 --> 00:46:38.880
 dying

00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:39.480
 person

00:46:39.480 --> 00:46:40.680
 should

00:46:40.680 --> 00:46:40.940
 have

00:46:40.940 --> 00:46:41.180
 the

00:46:41.180 --> 00:46:41.740
 energy

00:46:41.740 --> 00:46:42.099
 to

00:46:42.099 --> 00:46:42.480
 shout

00:46:42.480 --> 00:46:43.200
 with

00:46:43.200 --> 00:46:43.380
 a

00:46:43.380 --> 00:46:43.639
 loud

00:46:43.639 --> 00:46:44.200
 voice.

00:46:44.680 --> 00:46:44.780
 It's

00:46:44.780 --> 00:46:45.019
 not

00:46:45.019 --> 00:46:45.619
 what

00:46:45.619 --> 00:46:45.760
 you

00:46:45.760 --> 00:46:46.340
 normally

00:46:46.340 --> 00:46:47.039
 associate

00:46:47.039 --> 00:46:47.940
 with

00:46:47.940 --> 00:46:48.099
 the

00:46:48.099 --> 00:46:48.400
 act

00:46:48.400 --> 00:46:48.579
 of

00:46:48.579 --> 00:46:48.960
 dying.

00:46:49.920 --> 00:46:50.159
 John

00:46:50.159 --> 00:46:50.579
 tells

00:46:50.579 --> 00:46:50.780
 us

00:46:50.780 --> 00:46:51.019
 that

00:46:51.019 --> 00:46:51.720
 Jesus

00:46:51.720 --> 00:46:52.619
 bowing

00:46:52.619 --> 00:46:52.820
 his

00:46:52.820 --> 00:46:53.119
 head

00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:53.400
 gave

00:46:53.400 --> 00:46:53.579
 up

00:46:53.579 --> 00:46:53.800
 his

00:46:53.800 --> 00:46:54.119
 spirit

00:46:54.119 --> 00:46:55.240
 and

00:46:55.240 --> 00:46:55.840
 it's

00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:56.000
 as

00:46:56.000 --> 00:46:56.159
 if

00:46:56.159 --> 00:46:56.480
 John

00:46:56.480 --> 00:46:56.720
 is

00:46:56.720 --> 00:46:57.579
 telling

00:46:57.579 --> 00:46:57.920
 us

00:46:57.920 --> 00:46:58.099
 that

00:46:58.099 --> 00:46:58.300
 this

00:46:58.300 --> 00:46:58.519
 was

00:46:58.519 --> 00:46:59.059
 a

00:46:59.059 --> 00:46:59.800
 regal

00:46:59.800 --> 00:47:00.220
 act

00:47:00.220 --> 00:47:00.720
 on

00:47:00.720 --> 00:47:00.860
 the

00:47:00.860 --> 00:47:01.139
 part

00:47:01.139 --> 00:47:01.320
 of

00:47:01.320 --> 00:47:01.680
 Jesus

00:47:01.679 --> 00:47:02.379
 as

00:47:02.379 --> 00:47:02.559
 he

00:47:02.559 --> 00:47:02.919
 gave

00:47:02.919 --> 00:47:03.399
 himself

00:47:03.399 --> 00:47:03.899
 to

00:47:03.899 --> 00:47:04.359
 death.

00:47:05.199 --> 00:47:05.739
 Unlike

00:47:05.739 --> 00:47:06.019
 you

00:47:06.019 --> 00:47:06.219
 or

00:47:06.219 --> 00:47:06.480
 I

00:47:06.480 --> 00:47:07.759
 when

00:47:07.759 --> 00:47:08.599
 our

00:47:08.599 --> 00:47:09.139
 time

00:47:09.139 --> 00:47:10.059
 to

00:47:10.059 --> 00:47:10.460
 die

00:47:10.460 --> 00:47:11.159
 has

00:47:11.159 --> 00:47:11.559
 come

00:47:11.559 --> 00:47:12.859
 we

00:47:12.859 --> 00:47:13.139
 will

00:47:13.139 --> 00:47:13.399
 be

00:47:13.399 --> 00:47:13.940
 conquered

00:47:13.940 --> 00:47:15.099
 by

00:47:15.099 --> 00:47:15.339
 the

00:47:15.339 --> 00:47:15.839
 power

00:47:15.839 --> 00:47:16.119
 of

00:47:16.119 --> 00:47:16.599
 death.

00:47:17.500 --> 00:47:17.619
 Oh

00:47:17.619 --> 00:47:17.919
 yes

00:47:17.919 --> 00:47:18.119
 we

00:47:18.119 --> 00:47:18.279
 will

00:47:18.279 --> 00:47:18.719
 fight

00:47:18.719 --> 00:47:18.980
 it

00:47:18.980 --> 00:47:19.980
 as

00:47:19.980 --> 00:47:20.239
 long

00:47:20.239 --> 00:47:20.419
 as

00:47:20.419 --> 00:47:20.579
 we

00:47:20.579 --> 00:47:20.739
 are

00:47:20.739 --> 00:47:21.099
 able.

00:47:22.039 --> 00:47:22.379
 We

00:47:22.379 --> 00:47:22.599
 will

00:47:22.599 --> 00:47:23.179
 struggle

00:47:23.179 --> 00:47:24.000
 against

00:47:24.000 --> 00:47:24.259
 the

00:47:24.259 --> 00:47:24.759
 onset

00:47:24.759 --> 00:47:25.179
 of

00:47:25.179 --> 00:47:25.699
 death

00:47:25.699 --> 00:47:27.559
 but

00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:32.779
 Christ

00:47:32.779 --> 00:47:33.179
 doesn't

00:47:39.179 --> 00:47:41.059
 when

00:47:41.059 --> 00:47:41.379
 that

00:47:41.379 --> 00:47:41.599
 will

00:47:41.599 --> 00:47:42.099
 be

00:47:42.099 --> 00:47:43.719
 or

00:47:43.719 --> 00:47:44.179
 where

00:47:44.179 --> 00:47:44.379
 it

00:47:44.379 --> 00:47:44.559

00:47:53.159 --> 00:47:53.500
 Just

00:49:48.439 --> 00:49:48.619
 the

00:49:48.619 --> 00:49:49.199
 centurion

00:49:49.199 --> 00:49:49.619
 saw

00:49:49.619 --> 00:49:51.079
 but

00:49:51.079 --> 00:49:51.279
 it

00:49:51.279 --> 00:49:51.599
 didn't

00:49:51.599 --> 00:49:52.019
 have

00:49:52.019 --> 00:49:53.019
 this

00:49:53.019 --> 00:49:53.479
 effect

00:49:53.480 --> 00:49:53.719
 on

00:49:53.719 --> 00:49:54.019
 them

00:49:54.019 --> 00:49:56.280
 many

00:49:56.280 --> 00:49:56.740
 people

00:49:56.740 --> 00:49:57.260
 hear

00:49:57.260 --> 00:49:58.059
 of

00:49:58.059 --> 00:49:58.460
 Jesus

00:49:58.460 --> 00:49:59.059
 Christ

00:49:59.059 --> 00:49:59.280
 and

00:49:59.280 --> 00:49:59.400
 you

00:49:59.400 --> 00:49:59.659
 may

00:49:59.659 --> 00:50:00.179
 be

00:50:00.179 --> 00:50:00.420
 even

00:50:00.420 --> 00:50:00.780
 here

00:50:00.780 --> 00:50:01.099
 this

00:50:01.099 --> 00:50:01.519
 morning

00:50:01.519 --> 00:50:03.179
 but

00:50:03.179 --> 00:50:03.599
 until

00:50:03.599 --> 00:50:04.059
 now

00:50:04.059 --> 00:50:05.480
 Jesus

00:50:05.480 --> 00:50:06.159
 Christ

00:50:06.159 --> 00:50:07.240
 has

00:50:07.240 --> 00:50:07.539
 not

00:50:07.539 --> 00:50:07.840
 had

00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:08.300
 a

00:50:08.300 --> 00:50:08.980
 transforming

00:50:08.980 --> 00:50:09.639
 effect

00:50:09.639 --> 00:50:10.539
 on

00:50:10.539 --> 00:50:10.719
 your

00:50:10.719 --> 00:50:11.260
 life

00:50:11.260 --> 00:50:12.460
 Luke

00:50:12.460 --> 00:50:12.619
 in

00:50:12.619 --> 00:50:12.880
 his

00:50:12.880 --> 00:50:13.300
 account

00:50:13.300 --> 00:50:13.800
 tells

00:50:13.800 --> 00:50:14.139
 us

00:50:14.139 --> 00:50:15.119
 so

00:50:15.119 --> 00:50:15.420
 when

00:50:15.420 --> 00:50:15.599
 the

00:50:15.599 --> 00:50:16.320
 centurion

00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:16.760
 saw

00:50:16.760 --> 00:50:17.059
 what

00:50:17.059 --> 00:50:17.260
 had

00:50:17.260 --> 00:50:17.719
 happened

00:50:17.719 --> 00:50:18.380
 he

00:50:18.380 --> 00:50:19.119
 glorified

00:50:19.119 --> 00:50:19.519
 God

00:50:19.519 --> 00:50:19.860
 saying

00:50:19.860 --> 00:50:20.840
 certainly

00:50:20.840 --> 00:50:21.579
 this

00:50:21.579 --> 00:50:21.820
 was

00:50:21.820 --> 00:50:22.039
 a

00:50:22.039 --> 00:50:22.460
 righteous

00:50:22.460 --> 00:50:22.920
 man

00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:24.380
 now

00:50:24.380 --> 00:50:25.420
 Luke's

00:50:25.420 --> 00:50:26.160
 record

00:50:26.160 --> 00:50:27.200
 suggests

00:50:27.200 --> 00:50:27.920
 the

00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:28.700
 centurion

00:50:28.700 --> 00:50:29.740
 was

00:50:29.740 --> 00:50:30.460
 expressing

00:50:30.460 --> 00:50:31.100
 words

00:50:31.100 --> 00:50:31.460
 that

00:50:31.460 --> 00:50:33.420
 exonerate

00:50:33.420 --> 00:50:34.079
 the

00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:34.700
 character

00:50:34.700 --> 00:50:35.019
 of

00:50:35.019 --> 00:50:35.420
 Jesus

00:50:35.420 --> 00:50:36.519
 while

00:50:36.519 --> 00:50:36.960
 both

00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:37.519
 Matthew

00:50:37.519 --> 00:50:37.800
 and

00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:38.300
 Mark's

00:50:38.300 --> 00:50:38.880
 accounts

00:50:38.880 --> 00:50:39.600
 are

00:50:39.600 --> 00:50:39.880
 more

00:50:39.880 --> 00:50:40.059
 a

00:50:40.059 --> 00:50:40.640
 declaration

00:50:40.640 --> 00:50:41.539
 of

00:50:41.539 --> 00:50:41.740
 the

00:50:41.740 --> 00:50:42.500
 identity

00:50:42.500 --> 00:50:43.120
 of

00:50:43.120 --> 00:50:43.440
 Jesus

00:50:43.440 --> 00:50:43.680
 of

00:50:43.680 --> 00:50:44.160
 Nazareth

00:50:44.160 --> 00:50:44.420
 if we

00:50:44.420 --> 00:50:44.740
 look at

00:50:44.740 --> 00:50:45.100
 Luke's

00:50:45.100 --> 00:50:45.360
 record

00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:45.900
 of what

00:50:45.900 --> 00:50:46.380
 is stated

00:50:46.380 --> 00:50:46.800
 by the

00:50:46.800 --> 00:50:47.420
 centurion

00:50:47.420 --> 00:50:48.260
 you can

00:50:48.260 --> 00:50:48.740
 see

00:50:48.740 --> 00:50:49.440
 how

00:50:49.440 --> 00:50:49.940
 what he

00:50:49.940 --> 00:50:50.300
 says

00:50:50.300 --> 00:50:51.559
 exonerates

00:50:51.559 --> 00:50:52.119
 the

00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:52.619
 character

00:50:52.619 --> 00:50:52.900
 of

00:50:52.900 --> 00:50:53.240
 Jesus

00:50:53.240 --> 00:50:53.840
 why do

00:50:53.840 --> 00:50:54.160
 I say

00:50:54.160 --> 00:50:54.360
 this

00:50:54.360 --> 00:50:54.980
 think

00:50:54.980 --> 00:50:55.360
 about

00:50:55.360 --> 00:50:55.640
 it

00:50:55.640 --> 00:50:56.340
 for

00:50:56.340 --> 00:50:56.579
 this

00:50:56.579 --> 00:50:56.840
 very

00:50:56.840 --> 00:50:57.180
 good

00:50:57.180 --> 00:50:57.680
 reason

00:50:57.680 --> 00:50:58.559
 that

00:50:58.559 --> 00:50:58.900
 this

00:50:58.900 --> 00:50:59.780
 form

00:50:59.780 --> 00:51:00.039
 of

00:51:00.039 --> 00:51:00.740
 capital

00:51:00.740 --> 00:51:01.400
 punishment

00:51:01.400 --> 00:51:01.820
 that he

00:51:01.820 --> 00:51:02.000
 was

00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:02.599
 undergoing

00:51:02.599 --> 00:51:03.559
 was

00:51:03.559 --> 00:51:04.160
 reserved

00:51:04.160 --> 00:51:04.760
 for

00:51:04.760 --> 00:51:04.960
 the

00:51:04.960 --> 00:51:05.180
 very

00:51:05.180 --> 00:51:05.599
 worst

00:51:05.599 --> 00:51:05.840
 of

00:51:05.840 --> 00:51:06.460
 crimes

00:51:06.460 --> 00:51:06.940
 now

00:51:06.940 --> 00:51:07.119
 that

00:51:07.119 --> 00:51:07.320
 was

00:51:07.320 --> 00:51:07.780
 true

00:51:07.780 --> 00:51:09.019
 of

00:51:09.019 --> 00:51:09.260
 the

00:51:09.260 --> 00:51:09.619
 two

00:51:09.619 --> 00:51:09.860
 who

00:51:09.860 --> 00:51:10.000
 were

00:51:10.000 --> 00:51:10.220
 being

00:51:10.220 --> 00:51:10.480
 put

00:51:10.480 --> 00:51:10.700
 to

00:51:10.700 --> 00:51:11.079
 death

00:51:11.079 --> 00:51:12.000
 alongside

00:51:12.000 --> 00:51:12.619
 Jesus

00:51:12.619 --> 00:51:13.539
 so

00:51:13.539 --> 00:51:13.760
 when

00:51:13.760 --> 00:51:13.920
 the

00:51:13.920 --> 00:51:14.579
 centurion

00:51:14.579 --> 00:51:15.140
 states

00:51:15.140 --> 00:51:15.640
 that

00:51:15.639 --> 00:51:15.879
 this

00:51:15.879 --> 00:51:16.079
 was

00:51:16.079 --> 00:51:16.299
 a

00:51:16.299 --> 00:51:16.719
 righteous

00:51:16.719 --> 00:51:17.119
 man

00:51:17.119 --> 00:51:17.639
 in

00:51:17.639 --> 00:51:18.039
 effect

00:51:18.039 --> 00:51:18.279
 he

00:51:18.279 --> 00:51:18.480
 is

00:51:18.480 --> 00:51:18.900
 stating

00:51:18.900 --> 00:51:19.379
 that

00:51:19.379 --> 00:51:19.639
 this

00:51:19.639 --> 00:51:20.119
 person

00:51:20.119 --> 00:51:20.759
 Jesus

00:51:20.759 --> 00:51:21.059
 of

00:51:21.059 --> 00:51:21.639
 Nazareth

00:51:21.639 --> 00:51:22.119
 is

00:51:22.119 --> 00:51:22.599
 innocent

00:51:22.599 --> 00:51:23.699
 as

00:51:23.699 --> 00:51:23.980
 one

00:51:23.980 --> 00:51:24.159
 who

00:51:24.159 --> 00:51:24.299
 had

00:51:24.299 --> 00:51:24.500
 been

00:51:24.500 --> 00:51:25.119
 present

00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:26.139
 perhaps

00:51:26.139 --> 00:51:26.379
 from

00:51:26.379 --> 00:51:26.519
 the

00:51:26.519 --> 00:51:26.819
 time

00:51:26.819 --> 00:51:26.980
 of

00:51:26.980 --> 00:51:27.119
 his

00:51:27.119 --> 00:51:27.619
 arrest

00:51:27.619 --> 00:51:28.159
 but

00:51:28.159 --> 00:51:28.599
 certainly

00:51:28.599 --> 00:51:29.059
 present

00:51:29.059 --> 00:51:29.279
 at

00:51:29.279 --> 00:51:29.440
 the

00:51:29.440 --> 00:51:29.799
 cross

00:51:29.799 --> 00:51:30.219
 he

00:51:30.219 --> 00:51:30.420
 has

00:51:30.420 --> 00:51:30.699
 come

00:51:30.699 --> 00:51:30.879
 to

00:51:30.879 --> 00:51:31.039
 the

00:51:31.039 --> 00:51:31.599
 conclusion

00:51:31.599 --> 00:51:31.920
 that

00:51:31.920 --> 00:51:32.179
 this

00:51:32.179 --> 00:51:32.420
 man

00:51:32.420 --> 00:51:32.599
 has

00:51:32.599 --> 00:51:32.779
 been

00:51:32.779 --> 00:51:33.299
 punished

00:51:33.299 --> 00:51:33.819
 for

00:51:33.819 --> 00:51:34.059
 a

00:51:34.059 --> 00:51:34.579
 crime

00:51:34.579 --> 00:51:35.159
 of

00:51:35.159 --> 00:51:35.420
 which

00:51:35.420 --> 00:51:35.579
 he

00:51:35.579 --> 00:51:35.779
 is

00:51:35.779 --> 00:51:36.339
 innocent

00:51:36.339 --> 00:51:37.219
 what

00:51:37.219 --> 00:51:37.400
 he

00:51:37.400 --> 00:51:37.659
 saw

00:51:37.659 --> 00:51:37.879
 and

00:51:37.879 --> 00:51:38.259
 heard

00:51:38.259 --> 00:51:39.259
 convinced

00:51:39.259 --> 00:51:39.599
 him

00:51:39.599 --> 00:51:40.539
 that

00:51:40.539 --> 00:51:40.839
 this

00:51:40.839 --> 00:51:41.259
 man

00:51:41.259 --> 00:51:42.179
 is

00:51:42.179 --> 00:51:42.679
 truly

00:51:42.679 --> 00:51:43.440
 righteous

00:51:43.440 --> 00:51:45.320
 the

00:51:45.320 --> 00:51:45.760
 thief

00:51:45.760 --> 00:51:47.179
 who

00:51:47.179 --> 00:51:47.400
 was

00:51:47.400 --> 00:51:47.720
 brought

00:51:47.720 --> 00:51:47.980
 to

00:51:47.980 --> 00:51:48.440
 faith

00:51:48.440 --> 00:51:48.659
 in

00:51:48.659 --> 00:51:49.159
 Christ

00:51:49.159 --> 00:51:49.920
 and

00:51:49.920 --> 00:51:50.059
 who

00:51:50.059 --> 00:51:50.240
 was

00:51:50.240 --> 00:51:50.519
 given

00:51:50.519 --> 00:51:50.920
 such

00:51:50.920 --> 00:51:51.579
 blessed

00:51:51.579 --> 00:51:52.119
 assurance

00:51:52.119 --> 00:51:52.460
 of

00:51:52.460 --> 00:51:52.659
 where

00:51:52.659 --> 00:51:52.780
 he

00:51:52.780 --> 00:51:52.980
 was

00:51:52.980 --> 00:51:53.380
 going

00:51:53.380 --> 00:51:53.559
 to

00:51:56.659 --> 00:51:57.000
 similar

00:51:57.000 --> 00:51:57.760
 conclusion

00:51:59.600 --> 00:51:59.800
 to

00:51:59.800 --> 00:52:00.040
 his

00:52:00.040 --> 00:52:02.060
 fellow

00:52:02.060 --> 00:52:02.760
 accused

 our

00:52:04.420 --> 00:52:04.760
 deeds

00:52:04.760 --> 00:52:05.620
 but

00:52:05.620 --> 00:52:06.080
 this

00:52:06.080 --> 00:52:06.460
 man

 wrong

00:52:09.180 --> 00:52:10.560

00:52:10.560 --> 00:52:11.300
 centurion

00:52:11.300 --> 00:52:12.200

00:52:13.860 --> 00:52:14.560
 assessment

00:52:14.560 --> 00:52:15.320
 he had

00:52:15.320 --> 00:52:15.540
 seen

00:52:15.540 --> 00:52:15.860
 enough

00:52:15.860 --> 00:52:16.060

00:52:16.060 --> 00:52:16.560
 convince

00:52:16.560 --> 00:52:16.780
 him

00:52:16.780 --> 00:52:17.000

00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:17.680
 Jesus

00:52:17.680 --> 00:52:18.060
 was

00:52:18.060 --> 00:52:18.420
 innocent

00:52:18.420 --> 00:52:18.780
 he's

00:52:22.120 --> 00:52:22.360
 him

00:52:22.360 --> 00:52:22.560
 that

00:52:22.560 --> 00:52:22.860
 Jesus

00:52:22.860 --> 00:52:23.180
 was

00:52:23.180 --> 00:52:24.220
 undeserving

00:52:24.220 --> 00:52:24.480
 of

00:52:24.480 --> 00:52:24.760
 death

00:52:24.760 --> 00:52:24.960
 and

00:52:24.960 --> 00:52:25.180

00:52:25.180 --> 00:52:25.560
 tells

00:52:27.120 --> 00:52:27.700
 God

00:52:27.699 --> 00:52:30.279
 how

00:52:30.279 --> 00:52:30.460
 did

00:52:36.779 --> 00:52:37.099
 was

00:52:37.099 --> 00:52:37.299
 a

00:52:37.299 --> 00:52:37.639
 righteous

00:52:37.639 --> 00:52:38.119

 was

00:52:46.259 --> 00:52:46.559
 saying

 God

00:52:49.480 --> 00:52:50.059
 says

00:52:50.059 --> 00:52:50.859
 about

00:54:16.019 --> 00:54:17.360
 by the

00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:18.019
 testimony

00:54:18.019 --> 00:54:19.019
 of the

00:54:19.019 --> 00:54:19.720
 centurion

00:54:19.719 --> 00:54:20.659
 they were

00:54:20.659 --> 00:54:21.019
 putting

00:54:21.019 --> 00:54:21.500
 a

00:54:21.500 --> 00:54:21.879
 righteous

00:54:21.879 --> 00:54:22.199
 man

00:54:22.199 --> 00:54:22.399
 to

00:54:22.399 --> 00:54:22.799
 death

00:54:22.799 --> 00:54:24.480
 was there

00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:24.839
 not a

00:54:24.839 --> 00:54:25.279
 danger

00:54:25.279 --> 00:54:26.719
 that this

00:54:26.719 --> 00:54:27.359
 testimony

00:54:27.359 --> 00:54:27.879
 would be

00:54:27.879 --> 00:54:28.139
 carried

00:54:28.139 --> 00:54:28.579
 back

00:54:28.579 --> 00:54:29.419
 to the

00:54:29.419 --> 00:54:29.759
 years

00:54:29.759 --> 00:54:30.119
 of his

00:54:30.119 --> 00:54:30.599
 superior

00:54:30.599 --> 00:54:31.599
 and ultimately

00:54:31.599 --> 00:54:32.519
 to the

00:54:32.519 --> 00:54:33.139
 governor

00:54:33.139 --> 00:54:34.099
 that an

00:54:34.099 --> 00:54:34.779
 injustice

00:54:34.779 --> 00:54:35.779
 had been

00:54:35.779 --> 00:54:36.219
 done

00:54:36.219 --> 00:54:38.000
 that justice

00:54:38.000 --> 00:54:38.559
 hadn't been

00:54:38.559 --> 00:54:39.139
 served

00:54:39.139 --> 00:54:40.619
 well you

00:54:40.619 --> 00:54:40.799
 know

00:54:40.799 --> 00:54:42.179
 I don't

00:54:42.179 --> 00:54:42.619
 know but

00:54:42.619 --> 00:54:43.399
 I get

00:54:43.399 --> 00:54:44.199
 the impression

00:54:44.199 --> 00:54:45.980
 that this

00:54:45.980 --> 00:54:47.039
 centurion

00:54:47.039 --> 00:54:48.239
 didn't

00:54:48.239 --> 00:54:48.779
 care

00:54:48.780 --> 00:54:49.580
 about

00:54:49.580 --> 00:54:49.980
 that

00:54:49.980 --> 00:54:51.220
 he was

00:54:51.220 --> 00:54:51.800
 basing

00:54:51.800 --> 00:54:52.080
 his

00:54:52.080 --> 00:54:52.720
 assessment

00:54:52.720 --> 00:54:53.620
 on what

00:54:53.620 --> 00:54:53.900
 he had

00:54:53.900 --> 00:54:54.140
 seen

00:54:54.140 --> 00:54:54.720
 and heard

00:54:54.720 --> 00:54:56.320
 and not

00:54:56.320 --> 00:54:56.840
 only does

00:54:56.840 --> 00:54:57.160
 he by

00:54:57.160 --> 00:54:57.440
 his

00:54:57.440 --> 00:54:58.080
 testimony

00:54:58.080 --> 00:54:59.540
 exonerate

00:54:59.540 --> 00:54:59.740
 the

00:54:59.740 --> 00:55:00.100
 character

00:55:00.100 --> 00:55:00.700
 of Jesus

00:55:00.700 --> 00:55:01.800
 but he

00:55:01.800 --> 00:55:02.300
 goes even

00:55:02.300 --> 00:55:02.780
 further

00:55:02.780 --> 00:55:03.960
 truly this

00:55:03.960 --> 00:55:04.400
 man

00:55:04.400 --> 00:55:05.440
 was the

00:55:05.440 --> 00:55:05.860
 son of

00:55:05.860 --> 00:55:06.380
 God

00:55:06.380 --> 00:55:06.940
 he is

00:55:06.940 --> 00:55:07.400
 not now

00:55:07.400 --> 00:55:08.080
 justifying

00:55:08.080 --> 00:55:08.660
 the character

00:55:08.660 --> 00:55:09.220
 of Jesus

00:55:09.220 --> 00:55:10.120
 but he is

00:55:10.120 --> 00:55:10.440
 setting

00:55:10.440 --> 00:55:11.100
 before us

00:55:11.100 --> 00:55:12.300
 the identity

00:55:12.300 --> 00:55:13.280
 of this

00:55:13.280 --> 00:55:13.800
 condemned

00:55:13.800 --> 00:55:14.400
 person

00:55:14.400 --> 00:55:15.060
 on the

00:55:15.060 --> 00:55:15.260
 middle

00:55:15.260 --> 00:55:15.760
 cross

00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:16.340
 he's

00:55:16.340 --> 00:55:16.680
 not

00:55:16.680 --> 00:55:17.380
 just

00:55:17.380 --> 00:55:18.100
 merely

00:55:18.099 --> 00:55:18.759
 a righteous

00:55:18.759 --> 00:55:19.259
 man

00:55:19.259 --> 00:55:19.860
 he's

00:55:19.860 --> 00:55:20.039
 the

00:55:20.039 --> 00:55:20.239
 son

00:55:20.239 --> 00:55:20.420
 of

00:55:20.420 --> 00:55:20.900
 God

00:55:20.900 --> 00:55:22.039
 and you

00:55:22.039 --> 00:55:22.519
 remember

00:55:22.519 --> 00:55:23.299
 how Mark

00:55:23.299 --> 00:55:24.119
 begins

00:55:24.119 --> 00:55:24.759
 his gospel

00:55:24.759 --> 00:55:25.400
 the beginning

00:55:25.400 --> 00:55:25.920
 of the

00:55:25.920 --> 00:55:26.339
 gospel

00:55:26.339 --> 00:55:27.239
 the beginning

00:55:27.239 --> 00:55:27.940
 of the good

00:55:27.940 --> 00:55:28.360
 news

00:55:28.360 --> 00:55:28.940
 of Jesus

00:55:28.940 --> 00:55:29.539
 Christ

00:55:29.539 --> 00:55:30.319
 the son

00:55:30.319 --> 00:55:30.900
 of God

00:55:30.900 --> 00:55:31.599
 there would

00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:32.199
 be no

00:55:32.199 --> 00:55:33.059
 good news

00:55:33.059 --> 00:55:34.019
 if Jesus

00:55:34.019 --> 00:55:34.639
 Christ

00:55:34.639 --> 00:55:35.860
 was just

00:55:35.860 --> 00:55:36.759
 a right

00:55:36.759 --> 00:55:37.440
 a mere

00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:37.920
 man

00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:39.139
 even a

00:55:39.139 --> 00:55:39.839
 mere

00:55:39.839 --> 00:55:40.599
 righteous

00:55:40.599 --> 00:55:40.960
 man

00:55:40.960 --> 00:55:42.480
 my sins

00:55:42.480 --> 00:55:43.139
 and your

00:55:43.139 --> 00:55:43.699
 sins

00:55:43.699 --> 00:55:44.659
 could never

00:55:44.659 --> 00:55:45.480
 be atoned

00:55:45.480 --> 00:55:45.880
 for

00:55:45.880 --> 00:55:46.719
 by a

00:55:46.719 --> 00:55:47.000
 mere

00:55:47.000 --> 00:55:47.440
 man

00:55:47.440 --> 00:55:48.500
 even a

00:55:48.500 --> 00:55:48.940
 righteous

00:55:48.940 --> 00:55:49.400
 man

00:55:49.400 --> 00:55:50.159
 die

00:55:50.159 --> 00:55:51.000
 in our

00:55:51.000 --> 00:55:51.539
 place

00:55:51.539 --> 00:55:53.019
 we require

00:55:53.019 --> 00:55:53.940
 a substitute

00:55:53.940 --> 00:55:55.099
 who is

00:55:55.099 --> 00:55:55.860
 both God

00:55:55.860 --> 00:55:56.420
 and man

00:55:56.420 --> 00:55:57.420
 if this

00:55:57.420 --> 00:55:58.460
 centurion

00:55:58.460 --> 00:55:59.619
 was present

00:55:59.619 --> 00:56:00.639
 in Gethsemane

00:56:00.639 --> 00:56:01.500
 then he saw

00:56:01.500 --> 00:56:02.480
 his display

00:56:02.480 --> 00:56:03.300
 of authoritative

00:56:03.300 --> 00:56:03.940
 power

00:56:03.940 --> 00:56:05.440
 in his trials

00:56:05.440 --> 00:56:07.280
 and crucifixion

00:56:07.280 --> 00:56:08.059
 he would have

00:56:08.059 --> 00:56:08.699
 seen how

00:56:08.699 --> 00:56:09.199
 how

00:56:09.199 --> 00:56:10.400
 how nobly

00:56:10.400 --> 00:56:11.480
 he conducted

00:56:11.480 --> 00:56:12.059
 himself

00:56:12.059 --> 00:56:13.199
 remember

00:56:13.199 --> 00:56:13.980
 how the

00:56:13.980 --> 00:56:14.360
 apostle

00:56:14.360 --> 00:56:14.759
 Peter

00:56:14.759 --> 00:56:15.219
 writes

00:56:15.219 --> 00:56:15.960
 of Christ

00:56:15.960 --> 00:56:16.759
 who

00:56:16.759 --> 00:56:17.320
 committed

00:56:17.320 --> 00:56:18.139
 no sin

00:56:18.139 --> 00:56:19.259
 nor was

00:56:19.259 --> 00:56:19.779
 deceit

00:56:19.779 --> 00:56:20.279
 found in

00:56:20.279 --> 00:56:20.679
 his mouth

00:56:20.679 --> 00:56:21.139
 who

00:56:21.139 --> 00:56:21.539
 when he

00:56:21.539 --> 00:56:22.320
 was reviled

00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:23.119
 did not

00:56:23.119 --> 00:56:23.539
 revile

00:56:23.539 --> 00:56:24.099
 in return

00:56:24.099 --> 00:56:24.759
 when he

00:56:24.759 --> 00:56:25.099
 suffered

00:56:25.099 --> 00:56:25.460
 he did

00:56:25.460 --> 00:56:25.699
 not

00:56:25.699 --> 00:56:26.159
 threaten

00:56:26.159 --> 00:56:27.079
 but

00:56:27.079 --> 00:56:27.679
 committed

00:56:27.679 --> 00:56:28.420
 himself

00:56:28.420 --> 00:56:29.759
 to him

00:56:29.759 --> 00:56:30.900
 who judges

00:56:30.900 --> 00:56:31.679
 righteously

00:56:31.679 --> 00:56:33.599
 the centurion

00:56:33.599 --> 00:56:34.539
 saw Jesus

00:56:34.539 --> 00:56:35.880
 during these

00:56:35.880 --> 00:56:36.639
 six hours

00:56:36.639 --> 00:56:37.019
 on the

00:56:37.019 --> 00:56:37.460
 cross

00:56:37.460 --> 00:56:38.340
 he saw

00:56:38.340 --> 00:56:38.639
 how

00:56:38.639 --> 00:56:39.860
 disparagingly

00:56:39.860 --> 00:56:40.699
 the chief

00:56:40.699 --> 00:56:41.079
 priest

00:56:41.079 --> 00:56:41.799
 spoke to

00:56:41.800 --> 00:56:42.460
 him

00:56:42.460 --> 00:56:43.780
 mocking

00:56:43.780 --> 00:56:44.140
 him

00:56:44.140 --> 00:56:45.140
 himself

00:56:45.140 --> 00:56:45.640
 he cannot

00:56:45.640 --> 00:56:46.240
 save

00:56:46.240 --> 00:56:47.080
 if he is

00:56:47.080 --> 00:56:47.420
 the king

00:56:47.420 --> 00:56:47.860
 of Israel

00:56:47.860 --> 00:56:48.200
 let him

00:56:48.200 --> 00:56:48.660
 come down

00:56:48.660 --> 00:56:49.000
 from the

00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:49.240
 cross

00:56:49.240 --> 00:56:49.519
 and we

00:56:49.519 --> 00:56:49.660
 will

00:56:49.660 --> 00:56:49.980
 believe

00:56:49.980 --> 00:56:50.840
 he trusted

00:56:50.840 --> 00:56:51.380
 in God

00:56:51.380 --> 00:56:51.760
 let him

00:56:51.760 --> 00:56:52.260
 deliver him

00:56:52.260 --> 00:56:52.480
 now

00:56:52.480 --> 00:56:52.860
 we love

00:56:52.860 --> 00:56:53.420
 for he

00:56:53.420 --> 00:56:53.580
 said

00:56:53.580 --> 00:56:53.820
 I am

00:56:53.820 --> 00:56:54.180
 the son

00:56:54.180 --> 00:56:54.780
 of God

00:56:54.780 --> 00:56:58.280
 he saw

00:56:58.280 --> 00:56:58.660
 all of

00:56:58.660 --> 00:56:58.940
 that

00:56:58.940 --> 00:57:00.240
 it's not

00:57:00.240 --> 00:57:01.039
 improbable

00:57:01.039 --> 00:57:02.160
 but that

00:57:02.160 --> 00:57:02.660
 the first

00:57:02.660 --> 00:57:03.100
 thought

00:57:03.100 --> 00:57:03.940
 of who

00:57:03.940 --> 00:57:04.480
 Christ

00:57:04.480 --> 00:57:05.060
 was

00:57:05.060 --> 00:57:06.200
 was

00:57:06.200 --> 00:57:06.760
 sold

00:57:06.760 --> 00:57:07.539
 in the

00:57:07.539 --> 00:57:07.860
 garden

00:57:07.860 --> 00:57:08.080
 of

00:57:08.080 --> 00:57:09.060
 Gethsemane

00:57:09.060 --> 00:57:09.780
 other

00:57:09.780 --> 00:57:10.260
 thoughts

00:57:10.260 --> 00:57:10.680
 followed

00:57:10.680 --> 00:57:11.100
 as he

00:57:11.100 --> 00:57:11.760
 viewed

00:57:11.760 --> 00:57:12.340
 events

00:57:12.340 --> 00:57:13.040
 of the

00:57:13.040 --> 00:57:13.600
 actual

00:57:13.600 --> 00:57:14.660
 crucifixion

00:57:14.660 --> 00:57:15.700
 he saw

00:57:15.700 --> 00:57:16.140
 as it were

00:57:16.140 --> 00:57:16.420
 heaven

00:57:16.420 --> 00:57:17.020
 itself

00:57:17.020 --> 00:57:17.660
 bearing

00:57:17.660 --> 00:57:18.200
 witness

00:57:18.200 --> 00:57:18.600
 to what

00:57:18.600 --> 00:57:19.100
 was taking

00:57:19.100 --> 00:57:19.560
 place

00:57:19.560 --> 00:57:19.880
 he saw

00:57:19.880 --> 00:57:20.400
 the split

00:57:20.400 --> 00:57:20.780
 rocks

00:57:20.780 --> 00:57:21.480
 the open

00:57:21.480 --> 00:57:22.040
 graves

00:57:22.040 --> 00:57:22.820
 did he

00:57:22.820 --> 00:57:23.500
 understand

00:57:23.500 --> 00:57:24.180
 what these

00:57:24.180 --> 00:57:24.960
 things meant

00:57:24.960 --> 00:57:26.320
 I don't

00:57:26.320 --> 00:57:26.700
 know

00:57:26.700 --> 00:57:27.820
 but of

00:57:27.820 --> 00:57:28.200
 this

00:57:28.200 --> 00:57:29.020
 he was

00:57:29.020 --> 00:57:29.700
 convinced

00:57:29.700 --> 00:57:31.060
 certainly

00:57:31.060 --> 00:57:32.180
 this was

00:57:32.180 --> 00:57:32.800
 a righteous

00:57:32.800 --> 00:57:33.220
 man

00:57:33.220 --> 00:57:34.020
 truly

00:57:34.020 --> 00:57:34.840
 this man

00:57:34.840 --> 00:57:35.740
 was the

00:57:35.740 --> 00:57:36.120
 son of

00:57:36.120 --> 00:57:36.620
 God

00:57:36.620 --> 00:57:38.060
 that's

00:57:38.060 --> 00:57:38.380
 what he

00:57:38.380 --> 00:57:38.760
 said

00:57:38.760 --> 00:57:39.540
 what did

00:57:39.540 --> 00:57:39.700
 he

00:57:39.700 --> 00:57:39.840
 see

00:57:39.840 --> 00:57:40.020
 and

00:57:40.020 --> 00:57:40.240
 hear

00:57:40.240 --> 00:57:40.420
 who

00:57:40.420 --> 00:57:40.680
 gave

00:57:40.680 --> 00:57:40.880
 this

00:57:40.880 --> 00:57:41.240
 account

00:57:41.240 --> 00:57:42.080
 finally

00:57:42.080 --> 00:57:43.040
 how

00:57:43.040 --> 00:57:43.660
 does

00:57:43.660 --> 00:57:43.940
 that

00:57:43.940 --> 00:57:44.360
 speak

00:57:44.360 --> 00:57:44.580
 to

00:57:44.580 --> 00:57:45.020
 us

00:57:45.020 --> 00:57:46.020
 what

00:57:46.020 --> 00:57:46.240
 does

00:57:46.240 --> 00:57:46.460
 that

00:57:46.460 --> 00:57:46.640
 to

00:57:46.640 --> 00:57:46.820
 do

00:57:46.820 --> 00:57:47.060
 with

00:57:47.060 --> 00:57:47.360
 us

00:57:47.360 --> 00:57:48.040
 here

00:57:48.040 --> 00:57:48.360
 this

00:57:48.360 --> 00:57:48.780
 morning

00:57:48.780 --> 00:57:49.520
 what

00:57:49.520 --> 00:57:49.700
 does

00:57:49.700 --> 00:57:49.900
 the

00:57:49.900 --> 00:57:50.460
 testimony

00:57:50.460 --> 00:57:51.000
 of the

00:57:51.000 --> 00:57:51.620
 centurion

00:57:51.620 --> 00:57:52.020
 say

00:57:52.020 --> 00:57:52.740
 to you

00:57:52.739 --> 00:57:53.179
 and me

00:57:53.179 --> 00:57:54.579
 well

00:57:54.579 --> 00:57:55.379
 can we

00:57:55.379 --> 00:57:55.899
 not say

00:57:55.899 --> 00:57:56.399
 this

00:57:56.399 --> 00:57:57.699
 that we

00:57:57.699 --> 00:57:58.279
 have to

00:57:58.279 --> 00:57:58.699
 reckon

00:57:58.699 --> 00:58:00.059
 with this

00:58:00.059 --> 00:58:01.000
 confession

00:58:01.000 --> 00:58:02.559
 everything

00:58:02.559 --> 00:58:03.039
 in the

00:58:03.039 --> 00:58:03.459
 Bible

00:58:03.459 --> 00:58:04.419
 supports

00:58:04.419 --> 00:58:05.119
 and

00:58:05.119 --> 00:58:05.879
 confirms

00:58:05.879 --> 00:58:06.719
 the

00:58:06.719 --> 00:58:07.539
 accuracy

00:58:07.539 --> 00:58:08.539
 of his

00:58:08.539 --> 00:58:09.139
 statement

00:58:09.139 --> 00:58:09.839
 and

00:58:09.839 --> 00:58:10.439
 assessment

00:58:10.439 --> 00:58:11.839
 and that

00:58:11.839 --> 00:58:12.219
 raises

00:58:12.219 --> 00:58:12.639
 another

00:58:12.639 --> 00:58:13.279
 question

00:58:13.279 --> 00:58:13.979
 if

00:58:13.979 --> 00:58:14.779
 Christ

00:58:14.779 --> 00:58:15.059
 is

00:58:15.059 --> 00:58:15.539
 righteous

00:58:15.539 --> 00:58:16.479
 and he

00:58:16.479 --> 00:58:16.859
 is

00:58:16.859 --> 00:58:17.539
 if

00:58:17.539 --> 00:58:18.039
 Christ

00:58:18.039 --> 00:58:18.459
 is the

00:58:18.459 --> 00:58:18.799
 son of

00:58:18.799 --> 00:58:19.199
 God

00:58:19.199 --> 00:58:19.979
 and he

00:58:19.979 --> 00:58:20.379
 is

00:58:20.379 --> 00:58:21.199
 why

00:58:21.199 --> 00:58:22.259
 is he

00:58:22.259 --> 00:58:22.639
 on the

00:58:22.639 --> 00:58:23.119
 cross

00:58:23.119 --> 00:58:24.179
 dying

00:58:24.179 --> 00:58:24.659
 as an

00:58:24.659 --> 00:58:25.399
 unrighteous

00:58:25.399 --> 00:58:25.919
 person

00:58:25.919 --> 00:58:26.579
 in the

00:58:26.579 --> 00:58:26.799
 Roman

00:58:26.799 --> 00:58:27.239
 place

00:58:27.239 --> 00:58:27.419
 of

00:58:27.419 --> 00:58:27.919
 sinners

00:58:27.919 --> 00:58:28.659
 could

00:58:28.659 --> 00:58:29.000
 God

00:58:29.000 --> 00:58:29.259
 not

00:58:29.259 --> 00:58:29.819
 protect

00:58:29.819 --> 00:58:30.079
 him

00:58:30.079 --> 00:58:30.699
 and

00:58:30.699 --> 00:58:31.059
 deliver

00:58:31.059 --> 00:58:31.379
 him

00:58:31.379 --> 00:58:32.019
 could

00:58:32.019 --> 00:58:32.339
 God

00:58:32.339 --> 00:58:32.579
 not

00:58:32.579 --> 00:58:32.739
 have

00:58:32.739 --> 00:58:34.480
 defended

00:58:34.480 --> 00:58:35.399
 himself

00:58:35.399 --> 00:58:36.099
 and

00:58:36.099 --> 00:58:36.500
 saved

00:58:36.500 --> 00:58:37.039
 himself

00:58:37.039 --> 00:58:37.619
 and the

00:58:37.619 --> 00:58:37.879
 answer

00:58:37.879 --> 00:58:38.239
 to all

00:58:38.239 --> 00:58:38.379
 of

00:58:38.379 --> 00:58:38.599
 these

00:58:38.599 --> 00:58:38.799
 is

00:58:38.799 --> 00:58:39.299
 yes

00:58:39.299 --> 00:58:42.500
 so

00:58:42.500 --> 00:58:42.839
 why

00:58:42.839 --> 00:58:43.079
 was

00:58:43.079 --> 00:58:43.199
 he

00:58:43.199 --> 00:58:43.500
 there

00:58:43.500 --> 00:58:44.119
 we

00:58:44.119 --> 00:58:44.419
 cannot

00:58:44.419 --> 00:58:44.939
 pretend

00:58:44.939 --> 00:58:45.199
 to

00:58:45.199 --> 00:58:45.539
 ignore

00:58:45.539 --> 00:58:45.719
 the

00:58:45.719 --> 00:58:45.939
 question

00:58:45.939 --> 00:58:46.460
 why

00:58:46.460 --> 00:58:46.699
 did

00:58:46.699 --> 00:58:46.819
 he

00:58:46.819 --> 00:58:47.139
 die

00:58:47.139 --> 00:58:47.599
 why

00:58:47.599 --> 00:58:47.859
 was

00:58:47.859 --> 00:58:47.980
 he

00:58:47.980 --> 00:58:48.279
 placed

00:58:48.279 --> 00:58:48.460
 on

00:58:48.460 --> 00:58:48.599
 the

00:58:48.599 --> 00:58:49.059
 cross

00:58:49.059 --> 00:58:50.579
 and

00:58:50.579 --> 00:58:50.739
 the

00:58:50.739 --> 00:58:51.119
 Bible

00:58:51.119 --> 00:58:51.699
 answers

00:58:51.699 --> 00:58:51.980
 the

00:58:51.980 --> 00:58:52.480
 question

00:58:52.480 --> 00:58:53.400
 superbly

00:58:53.400 --> 00:58:54.960
 Christ

00:58:54.960 --> 00:58:55.619
 also

00:58:55.619 --> 00:58:56.179
 suffered

00:58:56.179 --> 00:58:56.659
 once

00:58:56.659 --> 00:58:56.920
 for

00:58:56.920 --> 00:58:57.639
 sins

00:58:57.639 --> 00:58:58.339
 the

00:58:58.339 --> 00:58:58.839
 just

00:58:58.839 --> 00:58:59.759
 for

00:58:59.759 --> 00:59:00.000
 the

00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:00.799
 unjust

00:59:00.799 --> 00:59:02.179
 that

00:59:02.179 --> 00:59:02.380
 he

00:59:02.380 --> 00:59:02.659
 might

00:59:02.659 --> 00:59:03.099
 bring

00:59:03.099 --> 00:59:03.440
 us

00:59:03.440 --> 00:59:04.179
 to

00:59:04.179 --> 00:59:04.759
 God

00:59:04.759 --> 00:59:06.480
 that's

00:59:06.480 --> 00:59:06.659
 the

00:59:06.659 --> 00:59:07.059
 biblical

00:59:07.059 --> 00:59:07.699
 answer

00:59:07.699 --> 00:59:09.619
 why

00:59:09.619 --> 00:59:09.880
 did

00:59:09.880 --> 00:59:10.019
 he

00:59:10.019 --> 00:59:10.339
 die

00:59:10.339 --> 00:59:10.599
 the

00:59:10.599 --> 00:59:10.960
 cursed

00:59:10.960 --> 00:59:11.400
 death

00:59:11.400 --> 00:59:11.579
 of

00:59:11.579 --> 00:59:11.759
 the

00:59:11.759 --> 00:59:12.219
 cross

00:59:12.219 --> 00:59:14.799
 it

00:59:14.799 --> 00:59:15.039
 was

00:59:15.039 --> 00:59:15.279
 for

00:59:15.279 --> 00:59:15.799
 sins

00:59:15.799 --> 00:59:16.099
 not

00:59:16.099 --> 00:59:16.259
 his

00:59:16.259 --> 00:59:16.539
 own

00:59:16.539 --> 00:59:16.819
 sins

00:59:16.819 --> 00:59:17.000
 he

00:59:17.000 --> 00:59:17.159
 had

00:59:17.159 --> 00:59:17.460
 none

00:59:17.460 --> 00:59:20.059
 but

00:59:20.059 --> 00:59:20.559
 for

00:59:20.559 --> 00:59:20.860
 your

00:59:20.860 --> 00:59:21.400
 sins

00:59:21.400 --> 00:59:21.639
 and

00:59:21.639 --> 00:59:22.079
 mine

00:59:22.079 --> 00:59:23.880
 when

00:59:23.880 --> 00:59:24.019
 he

00:59:24.019 --> 00:59:24.219
 went

00:59:24.219 --> 00:59:24.360
 to

00:59:24.360 --> 00:59:24.519
 the

00:59:24.519 --> 00:59:24.860
 cross

00:59:24.860 --> 00:59:25.039
 he

00:59:25.039 --> 00:59:25.380
 went

00:59:25.380 --> 00:59:25.820
 as

00:59:25.820 --> 00:59:26.000
 the

00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:26.400
 just

00:59:26.400 --> 00:59:26.619
 in

00:59:26.619 --> 00:59:26.980
 place

00:59:26.980 --> 00:59:27.159
 of

00:59:27.159 --> 00:59:27.320
 the

00:59:27.320 --> 00:59:27.820
 unjust

00:59:27.820 --> 00:59:28.199
 he

00:59:28.199 --> 00:59:28.679
 bore

00:59:28.679 --> 00:59:29.000
 our

00:59:29.000 --> 00:59:29.579
 sins

00:59:29.579 --> 00:59:30.139
 our
