00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:14.019
 All right, well, we're continuing our way through the Gospel of Luke this morning, and we're coming to a new part of the story today. Luke's just finished walking us through some of Jesus' early run-ins with the Pharisees and the teachers of the law.

00:00:14.019 --> 00:00:34.340
 And now we come to sort of a pivotal moment in the story as Jesus selects 12 men from among his followers, and he does some spectacular signs which many witnessed. We're picking things up in Luke chapter 6, starting in verse 12.

00:00:34.340 --> 00:00:45.400
 One of those days, Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray and spent the night praying to God.

00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:55.580
 When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose 12 of them, whom he also designated apostles.

00:00:55.579 --> 00:01:25.480
 Simon, whom he named Peter, his brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James, son of Alphaeus, Simon, who was called the Zealot, Judas, son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

00:01:25.579 --> 00:01:29.560
 He went down with them and stood on a level place.

00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:46.039
 A large crowd of his disciples was there, and a great number of people from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the coastal region around Tyre and Sidon, who had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases.

00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:56.980
 Those troubled by impure spirits were cured, and the people all tried to touch him because power was coming from him and healing them all.

00:02:00.160 --> 00:02:04.960
 So this big day starts out with Jesus going up the mountainside to pray.

00:02:04.959 --> 00:02:13.419
 And I know there's a lot to get to here, but I can't help but think that we should just slow down for a minute and think about that.

00:02:15.239 --> 00:02:20.519
 Jesus spent time talking to God.

00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:23.959
 Talking with God.

00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:33.620
 It's easy for us to get fixated on the truth that Jesus has come down from the Father to speak to us.

00:02:34.819 --> 00:02:40.400
 But here we see Jesus slipping away from us, going up the mountainside to talk to God.

00:02:41.939 --> 00:02:47.140
 It's also easy for us to be captured by the reality that Jesus is himself God.

00:02:47.139 --> 00:02:53.139
 And that's certainly true, and it's very clearly taught in the Bible, and a wonderful truth.

00:02:54.459 --> 00:02:59.439
 But sometimes our fixation on that can cause us to miss what is also true.

00:02:59.859 --> 00:03:02.019
 That Jesus is truly one of us.

00:03:03.379 --> 00:03:04.939
 He is truly a man.

00:03:06.299 --> 00:03:09.579
 And as every man ought to do, so Jesus does too.

00:03:09.679 --> 00:03:12.379
 He prays to God.

00:03:14.239 --> 00:03:16.739
 Now this is sometimes hard to get our minds around.

00:03:17.139 --> 00:03:23.199
 We wonder, wait a second, if Jesus is God, and he's praying to God,

00:03:23.699 --> 00:03:26.659
 then does that mean that Jesus is praying to himself?

00:03:28.179 --> 00:03:31.679
 This was a question asked me by one of my own kids recently.

00:03:32.779 --> 00:03:37.159
 It's a profound mystery that's laid out in the scriptures for us.

00:03:37.739 --> 00:03:43.839
 God is only one God, and yet he exists as three persons.

00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.580
 Jesus referred to God as his father.

00:03:48.620 --> 00:03:54.060
 The father spoke down from heaven, referring to Jesus as his son.

00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.140
 And then there is the spirit of God, or the Holy Spirit,

00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.560
 who's also called the spirit of Jesus.

00:04:02.340 --> 00:04:05.280
 Father, son, Holy Spirit.

00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:12.379
 He said,

00:04:12.379 --> 00:04:15.680
 We see and hear all three at the baptism of Jesus.

00:04:16.339 --> 00:04:18.579
 All three are named in the Great Commission.

00:04:18.579 --> 00:04:23.399
 And yet there's also a profound unity.

00:04:24.579 --> 00:04:25.099
 Jesus said,

00:04:25.459 --> 00:04:27.439
 I and the Father are one.

00:04:28.859 --> 00:04:29.879
 He also said,

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:30.959
 If you have seen me,

00:04:31.539 --> 00:04:33.439
 you have seen the Father.

00:04:34.939 --> 00:04:39.060
 So if we're looking for a familiar parallel to this in our own experience,

00:04:39.219 --> 00:04:40.180
 or in nature,

00:04:40.180 --> 00:04:41.879
 there is none.

00:04:43.160 --> 00:04:47.340
 That's what makes God holy and distinct from us.

00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:49.680
 He is a tri-personal deity.

00:04:50.600 --> 00:04:52.379
 And so it will seem strange to us.

00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:57.439
 Along with this mysterious truth is also the truth of who Jesus is.

00:04:58.180 --> 00:04:59.460
 He is both God,

00:05:00.660 --> 00:05:01.540
 truly God,

00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:03.660
 and man.

00:05:04.939 --> 00:05:06.660
 Truly human.

00:05:06.660 --> 00:05:09.280
 Both at the same time.

00:05:10.860 --> 00:05:13.080
 As John said in his gospel,

00:05:13.700 --> 00:05:14.620
 right at the beginning,

00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:19.680
 the word who was God and was with God,

00:05:20.860 --> 00:05:22.940
 the one through whom all things were made,

00:05:23.540 --> 00:05:25.400
 he became flesh

00:05:25.400 --> 00:05:27.240
 and dwelt among us.

00:05:28.500 --> 00:05:30.140
 And this is another mystery,

00:05:30.280 --> 00:05:32.740
 how God himself can exist truly

00:05:32.740 --> 00:05:34.800
 as a human being,

00:05:35.440 --> 00:05:36.520
 as one of us.

00:05:37.180 --> 00:05:37.500
 And so,

00:05:37.700 --> 00:05:41.320
 we might sometimes think that since Jesus is God,

00:05:42.260 --> 00:05:44.300
 therefore prayer is not necessary for him.

00:05:45.840 --> 00:05:47.540
 And yet we read in the Bible

00:05:47.540 --> 00:05:49.700
 that Jesus prayed.

00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:51.860
 He talked

00:05:51.860 --> 00:05:53.180
 to God.

00:05:54.660 --> 00:05:56.220
 There is relationship.

00:05:57.200 --> 00:05:58.400
 Real relationship

00:05:58.400 --> 00:05:59.700
 and communication

00:05:59.700 --> 00:06:00.700
 between Jesus

00:06:00.700 --> 00:06:02.400
 and the Father.

00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:06.219
 and sometimes we might wonder

00:06:06.219 --> 00:06:07.319
 whether we're seeing this right

00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:09.500
 because this sounds a little strange.

00:06:09.899 --> 00:06:11.479
 Let's just look for a moment

00:06:11.479 --> 00:06:13.179
 somewhere else in the New Testament

00:06:13.179 --> 00:06:14.579
 at 1 Peter 1,

00:06:14.739 --> 00:06:15.259
 verse 3.

00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:17.819
 This verse is one of my favorites.

00:06:19.060 --> 00:06:19.439
 Peter,

00:06:19.659 --> 00:06:20.379
 the apostle,

00:06:20.599 --> 00:06:20.859
 writes,

00:06:21.060 --> 00:06:22.620
 Praise be to the God

00:06:22.620 --> 00:06:25.240
 and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:28.139
 That's part of how he starts the letter.

00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.000
 Now we understand how God is the Father

00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:32.699
 of our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:06:32.699 --> 00:06:34.099
 At least,

00:06:34.420 --> 00:06:36.219
 we've heard Jesus call God that

00:06:36.219 --> 00:06:37.240
 many times

00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:38.420
 in the Gospels.

00:06:39.060 --> 00:06:39.899
 But easily,

00:06:40.060 --> 00:06:41.800
 we skip over this other relationship

00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:42.699
 mentioned here.

00:06:43.699 --> 00:06:45.839
 Maybe just put your thumb over the words

00:06:45.839 --> 00:06:46.759
 and Father

00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:47.680
 for a moment.

00:06:47.920 --> 00:06:48.579
 He is both,

00:06:48.699 --> 00:06:49.599
 but just for a minute

00:06:49.599 --> 00:06:50.620
 and read it.

00:06:51.019 --> 00:06:52.699
 Praise be to the God

00:06:52.699 --> 00:06:55.599
 of our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:06:56.740 --> 00:06:58.579
 Praise be to the God

00:06:58.579 --> 00:07:01.399
 of our Lord Jesus Christ.

00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:03.599
 What I'm trying to help us notice here

00:07:03.599 --> 00:07:06.039
 is that Jesus is so truly man

00:07:06.039 --> 00:07:07.180
 that he

00:07:07.180 --> 00:07:09.759
 has a relationship with God

00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:11.779
 just like we do.

00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:14.079
 He doesn't pray

00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:15.379
 to himself.

00:07:16.699 --> 00:07:18.419
 Jesus prays to his God,

00:07:19.779 --> 00:07:22.839
 the one who he is also one with.

00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:25.819
 Think of what Jesus cried out on the cross.

00:07:27.019 --> 00:07:27.379
 He said,

00:07:27.379 --> 00:07:28.139
 my God,

00:07:28.459 --> 00:07:29.879
 my God,

00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:32.600
 why have you forsaken me?

00:07:32.699 --> 00:07:34.459
 He called his Father God.

00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:37.399
 To put it another way,

00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:39.279
 if there's anyone

00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:39.899
 who it seems

00:07:39.899 --> 00:07:41.199
 should not need to pray,

00:07:41.779 --> 00:07:43.019
 at least in our judgment,

00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:45.420
 it would be Jesus, right?

00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:47.240
 After all,

00:07:47.300 --> 00:07:48.420
 he is one with the Father.

00:07:49.579 --> 00:07:51.180
 He's the one speaking to us

00:07:51.180 --> 00:07:52.600
 what he hears from the Father.

00:07:52.980 --> 00:07:54.219
 Is there any need for him

00:07:54.219 --> 00:07:55.860
 to speak to the Father?

00:07:55.860 --> 00:07:55.960
 Father?

00:07:57.360 --> 00:07:58.660
 Well, we see here,

00:07:59.220 --> 00:08:00.180
 the answer is yes.

00:08:01.180 --> 00:08:02.280
 Jesus prayed.

00:08:03.580 --> 00:08:04.280
 He talked

00:08:04.280 --> 00:08:05.680
 to

00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:06.860
 God.

00:08:07.699 --> 00:08:09.960
 God is a relational God.

00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:12.259
 Relationship and communication

00:08:12.259 --> 00:08:13.439
 are at the core

00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:15.319
 of who he is.

00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:17.939
 when we're told in the Bible

00:08:17.939 --> 00:08:18.500
 to pray,

00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:20.579
 we're being told

00:08:20.579 --> 00:08:22.040
 to have a relationship

00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:22.740
 with God,

00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:24.779
 to communicate

00:08:24.779 --> 00:08:26.240
 with God.

00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:29.560
 Luke tells us

00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:31.399
 here that Jesus prayed

00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:33.039
 all night long.

00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:35.700
 What's the first thing

00:08:35.700 --> 00:08:36.360
 that you think of

00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:37.139
 when you hear that?

00:08:37.139 --> 00:08:42.480
 anyone?

00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:45.319
 How?

00:08:45.319 --> 00:08:45.399
 How?

00:08:50.939 --> 00:08:52.299
 We might be amazed

00:08:52.299 --> 00:08:53.620
 or surprised.

00:08:54.899 --> 00:08:55.699
 Most of us,

00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:56.500
 if not all of us,

00:08:56.539 --> 00:08:57.279
 have struggled to pray

00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:58.240
 for more than an hour

00:08:58.240 --> 00:08:58.879
 at a time.

00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:02.419
 Sometimes much less

00:09:02.419 --> 00:09:02.840
 than that.

00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.100
 We know prayer

00:09:05.100 --> 00:09:05.740
 is good.

00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:07.519
 We know it's spiritual.

00:09:08.440 --> 00:09:09.440
 And so we naturally

00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:10.480
 respect and revere

00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:11.780
 anyone who can engage

00:09:11.780 --> 00:09:12.860
 in this holy activity

00:09:12.860 --> 00:09:14.019
 for a long time.

00:09:15.660 --> 00:09:16.639
 And so in that sense,

00:09:16.700 --> 00:09:17.259
 we're surprised

00:09:17.259 --> 00:09:18.019
 that any man

00:09:18.019 --> 00:09:18.540
 would pray

00:09:18.540 --> 00:09:19.780
 all night long.

00:09:21.139 --> 00:09:22.379
 We look at the disciples

00:09:22.379 --> 00:09:23.700
 in the Garden of Gethsemane

00:09:23.700 --> 00:09:24.879
 who fell asleep

00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:26.180
 multiple times

00:09:26.180 --> 00:09:27.540
 while praying.

00:09:28.540 --> 00:09:29.519
 Then we relate

00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:30.139
 more to them.

00:09:30.139 --> 00:09:33.240
 And so we look

00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:34.120
 at this as amazing.

00:09:35.299 --> 00:09:36.659
 But maybe on the other hand,

00:09:36.740 --> 00:09:37.740
 we also look at it

00:09:37.740 --> 00:09:39.319
 as something

00:09:39.319 --> 00:09:39.939
 that was maybe

00:09:39.939 --> 00:09:40.759
 just easier

00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:42.100
 and natural for Jesus

00:09:42.100 --> 00:09:43.840
 because of who he is.

00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:45.179
 That special relationship

00:09:45.179 --> 00:09:46.480
 that he has with God.

00:09:48.539 --> 00:09:49.439
 And I think

00:09:49.439 --> 00:09:50.419
 there's truth to that.

00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:52.439
 I was trying to think

00:09:52.439 --> 00:09:53.120
 of an analogy

00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:54.139
 and this is what

00:09:54.139 --> 00:09:54.799
 came to mind.

00:09:54.899 --> 00:09:55.639
 What if this moment

00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:56.240
 for Jesus

00:09:56.240 --> 00:09:57.519
 was in some ways,

00:09:57.580 --> 00:09:58.600
 even in small ways,

00:09:58.720 --> 00:09:59.000
 like,

00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:00.440
 have you ever had

00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:01.039
 a dear,

00:10:01.500 --> 00:10:03.159
 dear friend,

00:10:03.419 --> 00:10:04.379
 best of friends

00:10:04.379 --> 00:10:05.039
 who you haven't

00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:06.059
 talked to in ages

00:10:06.059 --> 00:10:07.740
 suddenly show up

00:10:07.740 --> 00:10:08.440
 to visit you

00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:10.059
 and they're going

00:10:10.059 --> 00:10:10.879
 to stay overnight

00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:12.779
 but then they have

00:10:12.779 --> 00:10:13.779
 to leave the next day.

00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:15.960
 Is it any trouble

00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:16.980
 to talk to them

00:10:16.980 --> 00:10:18.600
 all evening

00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:20.220
 and even to stay up

00:10:20.220 --> 00:10:20.940
 until one,

00:10:21.700 --> 00:10:22.580
 two in the morning

00:10:22.580 --> 00:10:24.639
 for a total of

00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:24.980
 four,

00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:25.679
 five,

00:10:25.899 --> 00:10:26.519
 six hours?

00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.039
 perhaps this is

00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:29.759
 just a little bit

00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:30.379
 of what Jesus'

00:10:30.620 --> 00:10:31.079
 relationship

00:10:31.079 --> 00:10:31.799
 with the Father

00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:32.379
 is like.

00:10:33.799 --> 00:10:34.759
 There's no doubt

00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:35.699
 in Jesus' mind

00:10:35.699 --> 00:10:36.399
 whether the Father

00:10:36.399 --> 00:10:37.039
 is listening

00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:38.620
 to every word.

00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:40.360
 He has been one

00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:41.240
 with the Father

00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:42.259
 for all eternity

00:10:42.259 --> 00:10:43.539
 leading up to this moment.

00:10:44.620 --> 00:10:45.699
 There's no greater

00:10:45.699 --> 00:10:46.319
 intimacy,

00:10:47.079 --> 00:10:47.819
 there's no

00:10:47.819 --> 00:10:49.279
 closer relationship,

00:10:49.579 --> 00:10:51.139
 it's like sheer joy

00:10:51.139 --> 00:10:52.399
 and life

00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:53.220
 and pleasure

00:10:53.220 --> 00:10:53.860
 for Jesus

00:10:53.860 --> 00:10:55.019
 to talk with God

00:10:55.019 --> 00:10:56.700
 all night long

00:10:56.700 --> 00:10:58.620
 like staying up

00:10:58.620 --> 00:10:59.060
 all night

00:10:59.060 --> 00:11:00.919
 with one's best friend.

00:11:03.100 --> 00:11:03.620
 Us,

00:11:03.659 --> 00:11:04.320
 on the other hand,

00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:05.180
 we've never had

00:11:05.180 --> 00:11:06.419
 that relationship

00:11:06.419 --> 00:11:06.980
 with God

00:11:06.980 --> 00:11:07.639
 from the start

00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:08.659
 like Jesus did

00:11:08.659 --> 00:11:10.480
 and so naturally

00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:11.340
 it will be different

00:11:11.340 --> 00:11:11.919
 for us.

00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:14.680
 For our part,

00:11:15.060 --> 00:11:15.960
 there is faith

00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:17.440
 that's required of us.

00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:18.480
 We're praying

00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:20.180
 to the unseen God,

00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:22.480
 the invisible God

00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:24.379
 and we know

00:11:24.379 --> 00:11:24.920
 that there is

00:11:24.920 --> 00:11:25.639
 some way too

00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:27.080
 that God

00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:28.600
 doesn't commune

00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:29.860
 with us identically

00:11:29.860 --> 00:11:30.600
 to how he

00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:32.120
 does with Jesus

00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:34.740
 but one day

00:11:34.740 --> 00:11:36.080
 he will.

00:11:37.139 --> 00:11:37.800
 One day

00:11:37.800 --> 00:11:38.860
 we will be with him

00:11:38.860 --> 00:11:39.779
 face to face

00:11:39.779 --> 00:11:41.600
 and I think

00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:42.560
 we know in our hearts

00:11:42.560 --> 00:11:43.560
 that when that day

00:11:43.560 --> 00:11:44.100
 comes,

00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:46.139
 having a conversation

00:11:46.139 --> 00:11:47.060
 with him

00:11:47.060 --> 00:11:48.240
 all night long

00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:49.560
 will not be tiresome

00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:51.039
 or difficult

00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:52.139
 or boring.

00:11:53.839 --> 00:11:54.879
 I know that's a bit

00:11:54.879 --> 00:11:55.679
 of a rabbit trail

00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:56.279
 this morning

00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:57.319
 but I hope

00:11:57.319 --> 00:11:58.000
 it's a good one

00:11:58.000 --> 00:11:59.579
 and I think

00:11:59.579 --> 00:12:00.079
 out of that

00:12:00.079 --> 00:12:00.979
 comes this question.

00:12:02.059 --> 00:12:02.699
 How is your

00:12:02.699 --> 00:12:03.299
 relationship

00:12:03.299 --> 00:12:03.959
 with God

00:12:03.959 --> 00:12:04.359
 going

00:12:04.359 --> 00:12:05.719
 right now?

00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:10.659
 Are you

00:12:10.659 --> 00:12:11.379
 communicating

00:12:11.379 --> 00:12:12.919
 with God

00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.159
 regularly

00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:16.919
 and often?

00:12:18.179 --> 00:12:18.779
 Are you

00:12:18.779 --> 00:12:19.500
 making time

00:12:19.500 --> 00:12:21.139
 to be with him

00:12:21.139 --> 00:12:23.579
 to pray?

00:12:25.199 --> 00:12:26.079
 It's not just

00:12:26.079 --> 00:12:26.659
 something that we're

00:12:26.659 --> 00:12:27.480
 commanded to do

00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:28.879
 it's vital

00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:30.360
 and life-giving

00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:32.439
 to do it.

00:12:34.319 --> 00:12:35.399
 Or maybe the thing

00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:36.139
 we need to ask

00:12:36.139 --> 00:12:36.500
 more

00:12:36.500 --> 00:12:37.679
 is what's

00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:38.419
 keeping us

00:12:38.419 --> 00:12:39.559
 from prayer?

00:12:41.059 --> 00:12:41.579
 What's

00:12:41.579 --> 00:12:42.539
 distracting us

00:12:42.539 --> 00:12:43.139
 from prayer?

00:12:43.139 --> 00:12:45.419
 One of the

00:12:45.419 --> 00:12:45.939
 big things

00:12:45.939 --> 00:12:46.659
 that's consuming

00:12:46.659 --> 00:12:47.360
 our attention

00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:48.580
 and our focus

00:12:48.580 --> 00:12:49.379
 and our thoughts

00:12:49.379 --> 00:12:50.659
 is technology.

00:12:52.299 --> 00:12:52.939
 We've got

00:12:52.939 --> 00:12:53.460
 our phones

00:12:53.460 --> 00:12:54.939
 we've got

00:12:54.939 --> 00:12:55.519
 our TVs

00:12:55.519 --> 00:12:56.159
 we've got

00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:56.639
 our social

00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:57.080
 media

00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:57.580
 we've got

00:12:57.580 --> 00:12:58.000
 YouTube

00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:00.659
 the way

00:13:00.659 --> 00:13:01.120
 these things

00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:01.699
 are designed

00:13:01.699 --> 00:13:02.279
 and engineered

00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:02.899
 we get a little

00:13:02.899 --> 00:13:03.840
 dopamine hit

00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:04.500
 every time

00:13:04.500 --> 00:13:05.279
 we refresh

00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:06.340
 or every time

00:13:06.340 --> 00:13:07.120
 we find something

00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:07.939
 that we like

00:13:07.939 --> 00:13:09.139
 as we scroll

00:13:09.139 --> 00:13:09.779
 and swipe

00:13:09.779 --> 00:13:11.259
 we get a little

00:13:11.259 --> 00:13:12.200
 dopamine hit

00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:12.860
 every time

00:13:12.860 --> 00:13:13.740
 we see

00:13:13.740 --> 00:13:14.240
 that someone

00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:15.379
 liked our post

00:13:15.379 --> 00:13:16.600
 or our pick

00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:19.019
 and it becomes

00:13:19.019 --> 00:13:19.460
 habit

00:13:19.460 --> 00:13:20.919
 and even

00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:21.340
 addiction

00:13:21.340 --> 00:13:22.240
 for us

00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:23.919
 to just

00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:24.399
 pull out

00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:24.980
 the devices

00:13:24.980 --> 00:13:26.019
 the moment

00:13:26.019 --> 00:13:26.399
 that we're

00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:26.779
 bored

00:13:26.779 --> 00:13:27.600
 or the moment

00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:27.980
 that we have

00:13:27.980 --> 00:13:28.320
 to wait

00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:28.860
 for something

00:13:28.860 --> 00:13:29.220
 the moment

00:13:29.220 --> 00:13:29.860
 that we have

00:13:29.860 --> 00:13:30.379
 some spare

00:13:30.379 --> 00:13:30.860
 time

00:13:30.860 --> 00:13:33.060
 what's the

00:13:33.060 --> 00:13:33.500
 first thing

00:13:33.500 --> 00:13:34.080
 that we often

00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:34.379
 do

00:13:34.379 --> 00:13:35.519
 in the morning?

00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:37.580
 A survey

00:13:37.580 --> 00:13:38.000
 done by

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:38.620
 Virgin Media

00:13:38.620 --> 00:13:39.220
 in the UK

00:13:39.220 --> 00:13:39.940
 found that

00:13:39.940 --> 00:13:41.139
 81% of

00:13:41.139 --> 00:13:41.559
 Britons

00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:42.360
 said they

00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:42.960
 reach for

00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:43.460
 their phones

00:13:43.460 --> 00:13:44.100
 first thing

00:13:44.100 --> 00:13:44.600
 in the morning

00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:45.559
 when they

00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:46.059
 wake up

00:13:46.059 --> 00:13:48.019
 75%

00:13:48.019 --> 00:13:48.559
 said they're

00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:48.840
 checking

00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:49.580
 social media

00:13:49.580 --> 00:13:50.059
 feeds

00:13:50.059 --> 00:13:51.679
 52%

00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:52.240
 said they're

00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:52.539
 checking

00:13:52.539 --> 00:13:53.399
 news feeds

00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:55.799
 1 out of

00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:56.399
 3 of those

00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:56.659
 who are

00:13:56.659 --> 00:13:57.000
 polled

00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:57.480
 said they're

00:13:57.480 --> 00:13:58.120
 looking to

00:13:58.120 --> 00:13:59.199
 reduce their

00:13:59.199 --> 00:13:59.860
 screen time

00:13:59.860 --> 00:14:00.840
 they kind of

00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:01.620
 recognize that

00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:02.340
 it's taking up

00:14:02.340 --> 00:14:02.960
 too much of

00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:03.399
 their time

00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:03.980
 and attention

00:14:03.980 --> 00:14:05.779
 half of

00:14:05.779 --> 00:14:06.440
 those polled

00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:07.300
 admitted to

00:14:07.300 --> 00:14:08.019
 previously

00:14:08.019 --> 00:14:09.039
 unsuccessful

00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:09.840
 attempts

00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:10.960
 to reduce

00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:11.879
 screen time

00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:13.519
 with the

00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:14.200
 hardest things

00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:14.600
 to cut

00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:15.019
 down

00:14:15.019 --> 00:14:16.980
 being social

00:14:16.980 --> 00:14:17.440
 media

00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:18.480
 messaging

00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:18.899
 apps

00:14:18.899 --> 00:14:19.980
 and video

00:14:19.980 --> 00:14:20.500
 streaming

00:14:20.500 --> 00:14:22.820
 stats like

00:14:22.820 --> 00:14:23.420
 these tell us

00:14:23.420 --> 00:14:23.840
 the truth

00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:24.200
 of what's

00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:24.539
 getting

00:14:24.539 --> 00:14:25.720
 our time

00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:26.539
 and our

00:14:26.539 --> 00:14:27.000
 attention

00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:28.120
 in the

00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:28.420
 morning

00:14:28.420 --> 00:14:29.220
 and why

00:14:29.220 --> 00:14:29.720
 it seems

00:14:29.720 --> 00:14:30.879
 nearly impossible

00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:31.440
 to find

00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:32.019
 time in our

00:14:32.019 --> 00:14:32.300
 day

00:14:32.300 --> 00:14:33.700
 to pray

00:14:33.700 --> 00:14:36.020
 there's

00:14:36.020 --> 00:14:36.320
 something

00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:36.900
 powerful

00:14:36.900 --> 00:14:38.160
 and addictive

00:14:38.160 --> 00:14:39.480
 in our

00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:39.920
 lives

00:14:39.920 --> 00:14:40.560
 crowding

00:14:40.560 --> 00:14:41.200
 prayer out

00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:42.740
 and when it

00:14:42.740 --> 00:14:43.120
 comes right

00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:43.600
 down to it

00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:44.060
 I think if

00:14:44.060 --> 00:14:44.340
 we know

00:14:44.340 --> 00:14:44.800
 the Lord

00:14:44.800 --> 00:14:45.759
 don't we

00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:46.300
 often feel

00:14:46.300 --> 00:14:46.960
 regret as

00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:47.280
 the day

00:14:47.280 --> 00:14:47.840
 goes on

00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:49.700
 that we're

00:14:49.700 --> 00:14:50.920
 going back

00:14:50.920 --> 00:14:51.540
 and choosing

00:14:51.540 --> 00:14:52.540
 that mindless

00:14:52.540 --> 00:14:53.400
 dead scrolling

00:14:53.400 --> 00:14:53.980
 of stuff

00:14:53.980 --> 00:14:54.460
 that often

00:14:54.460 --> 00:14:55.040
 has very

00:14:55.040 --> 00:14:55.840
 little value

00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:57.080
 or substance

00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:59.100
 over fellowship

00:14:59.100 --> 00:14:59.879
 with our

00:14:59.879 --> 00:15:00.240
 Lord

00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:02.200
 our Savior

00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:04.720
 and so

00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:05.740
 even just

00:15:05.740 --> 00:15:06.520
 this glimpse

00:15:06.520 --> 00:15:07.120
 of seeing

00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:07.860
 Jesus go

00:15:07.860 --> 00:15:08.360
 up the

00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:08.640
 mountain

00:15:08.640 --> 00:15:09.180
 to pray

00:15:09.180 --> 00:15:10.080
 I hope

00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:10.460
 and pray

00:15:10.460 --> 00:15:10.840
 that it

00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:11.420
 will spur

00:15:11.420 --> 00:15:11.860
 us on

00:15:11.860 --> 00:15:12.400
 and encourage

00:15:12.400 --> 00:15:12.780
 us

00:15:12.780 --> 00:15:14.500
 this week

00:15:14.500 --> 00:15:14.860
 to put

00:15:14.860 --> 00:15:15.240
 our tech

00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:15.600
 away

00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:16.300
 maybe make

00:15:16.300 --> 00:15:16.580
 a few

00:15:16.580 --> 00:15:17.140
 changes

00:15:17.140 --> 00:15:18.879
 even to

00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:19.120
 go to

00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:19.660
 great lengths

00:15:19.660 --> 00:15:20.460
 if necessary

00:15:20.460 --> 00:15:21.500
 to be

00:15:21.500 --> 00:15:22.140
 with God

00:15:22.140 --> 00:15:23.600
 and to

00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:24.040
 commune

00:15:24.040 --> 00:15:24.580
 with God

00:15:24.580 --> 00:15:27.060
 alright

00:15:27.060 --> 00:15:27.580
 let's keep

00:15:27.580 --> 00:15:27.860
 going

00:15:27.860 --> 00:15:28.680
 verse 13

00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:30.059
 when morning

00:15:30.059 --> 00:15:30.539
 came

00:15:30.539 --> 00:15:31.639
 Jesus called

00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:32.299
 his disciples

00:15:32.299 --> 00:15:32.859
 to him

00:15:32.859 --> 00:15:33.339
 and chose

00:15:33.339 --> 00:15:33.939
 twelve of

00:15:33.939 --> 00:15:34.199
 them

00:15:34.199 --> 00:15:35.399
 whom he

00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:35.899
 also

00:15:35.899 --> 00:15:36.839
 designated

00:15:36.839 --> 00:15:37.519
 apostles

00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:38.620
 the picture

00:15:38.620 --> 00:15:38.959
 we get

00:15:38.959 --> 00:15:39.359
 from these

00:15:39.359 --> 00:15:39.679
 words

00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:39.979
 is that

00:15:39.979 --> 00:15:40.279
 Jesus

00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:40.959
 stayed up

00:15:40.959 --> 00:15:41.219
 on the

00:15:41.219 --> 00:15:41.559
 mountain

00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:42.639
 but then

00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:43.939
 and of course

00:15:43.939 --> 00:15:44.639
 mountains in

00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:44.919
 Israel

00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:45.339
 we know

00:15:45.339 --> 00:15:45.819
 are not

00:15:45.819 --> 00:15:46.599
 the snowy

00:15:46.599 --> 00:15:46.899
 peaks

00:15:46.899 --> 00:15:47.779
 but they're

00:15:47.779 --> 00:15:48.519
 large hills

00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:49.579
 in Israel

00:15:49.579 --> 00:15:50.719
 but then he

00:15:50.719 --> 00:15:51.339
 calls his

00:15:51.339 --> 00:15:52.319
 disciples to

00:15:52.319 --> 00:15:52.599
 him

00:15:52.599 --> 00:15:53.099
 so they

00:15:53.099 --> 00:15:53.899
 come up

00:15:53.899 --> 00:15:54.699
 to him

00:15:54.699 --> 00:15:55.979
 and it

00:15:55.979 --> 00:15:56.299
 says he

00:15:56.299 --> 00:15:56.679
 chooses

00:15:56.679 --> 00:15:57.339
 twelve

00:15:57.340 --> 00:15:58.259
 of them

00:15:58.259 --> 00:15:59.460
 which means

00:15:59.460 --> 00:15:59.800
 that there

00:15:59.800 --> 00:16:00.180
 were more

00:16:00.180 --> 00:16:00.639
 than twelve

00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:01.440
 before this

00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:03.000
 and then in

00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:03.620
 verse 17

00:16:03.620 --> 00:16:04.120
 we see

00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:04.960
 Jesus went

00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:05.639
 down

00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:06.759
 with them

00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:08.879
 so we get

00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:09.560
 a clear picture

00:16:09.560 --> 00:16:10.340
 here that there

00:16:10.340 --> 00:16:11.019
 was a special

00:16:11.019 --> 00:16:11.680
 moment where

00:16:11.680 --> 00:16:12.680
 Jesus chose

00:16:12.680 --> 00:16:13.580
 the twelve

00:16:13.580 --> 00:16:14.200
 disciples

00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:15.960
 up till now

00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:16.580
 in the gospel

00:16:16.580 --> 00:16:16.920
 of Luke

00:16:16.920 --> 00:16:17.280
 we've heard

00:16:17.280 --> 00:16:17.899
 about Peter

00:16:17.899 --> 00:16:18.700
 and how he

00:16:18.700 --> 00:16:19.280
 was called

00:16:19.280 --> 00:16:20.480
 we heard

00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:21.139
 about Levi

00:16:21.139 --> 00:16:22.340
 the tax

00:16:22.340 --> 00:16:22.759
 collector

00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:23.259
 and how he

00:16:23.259 --> 00:16:23.740
 was called

00:16:23.740 --> 00:16:24.100
 from the

00:16:24.100 --> 00:16:24.740
 tax booth

00:16:24.740 --> 00:16:26.400
 and the

00:16:26.400 --> 00:16:27.060
 other gospels

00:16:27.059 --> 00:16:27.500
 tell us

00:16:27.500 --> 00:16:28.379
 of Andrew

00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:28.939
 and James

00:16:28.939 --> 00:16:29.459
 and John

00:16:29.459 --> 00:16:30.299
 and Philip

00:16:30.299 --> 00:16:31.079
 and Nathaniel

00:16:31.079 --> 00:16:32.539
 the reality

00:16:32.539 --> 00:16:33.039
 is though

00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:33.439
 that up

00:16:33.439 --> 00:16:33.979
 until this

00:16:33.979 --> 00:16:34.319
 point

00:16:34.319 --> 00:16:35.519
 many people

00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:36.059
 came to

00:16:36.059 --> 00:16:36.759
 follow Jesus

00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:37.179
 and were

00:16:37.179 --> 00:16:37.979
 counted among

00:16:37.979 --> 00:16:38.839
 his disciples

00:16:38.839 --> 00:16:39.979
 from the

00:16:39.979 --> 00:16:40.319
 start

00:16:40.319 --> 00:16:41.839
 we read

00:16:41.839 --> 00:16:42.179
 in John

00:16:42.179 --> 00:16:42.919
 chapter 6

00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:43.839
 verse 66

00:16:43.839 --> 00:16:45.199
 about an

00:16:45.199 --> 00:16:45.799
 occasion where

00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:46.519
 many of

00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:46.839
 Jesus'

00:16:47.059 --> 00:16:47.559
 disciples

00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:48.899
 turned back

00:16:48.899 --> 00:16:49.619
 and no longer

00:16:49.619 --> 00:16:50.339
 followed him

00:16:50.339 --> 00:16:51.579
 while the

00:16:51.579 --> 00:16:51.919
 twelve

00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:52.839
 continued to

00:16:52.839 --> 00:16:53.379
 follow him

00:16:53.379 --> 00:16:54.619
 and so it

00:16:54.619 --> 00:16:55.119
 wasn't just

00:16:55.119 --> 00:16:55.659
 that Jesus

00:16:55.659 --> 00:16:56.159
 kind of

00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:57.019
 slipped among

00:16:57.019 --> 00:16:57.539
 the crowds

00:16:57.539 --> 00:16:57.919
 and just

00:16:57.919 --> 00:16:58.539
 picked twelve

00:16:58.539 --> 00:16:58.980
 right from

00:16:58.980 --> 00:16:59.500
 the start

00:16:59.500 --> 00:17:00.740
 it was a

00:17:00.740 --> 00:17:01.360
 whole bunch

00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:01.980
 of disciples

00:17:01.980 --> 00:17:03.000
 and now

00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:03.439
 we see

00:17:03.439 --> 00:17:04.039
 this moment

00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:04.659
 where Jesus

00:17:04.659 --> 00:17:05.619
 sets twelve

00:17:05.619 --> 00:17:06.099
 of them

00:17:06.099 --> 00:17:07.319
 apart from

00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:08.039
 all the rest

00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:09.879
 notice the

00:17:09.879 --> 00:17:10.359
 language

00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:11.839
 of choosing

00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:13.379
 he called

00:17:13.379 --> 00:17:13.980
 his disciples

00:17:13.980 --> 00:17:14.579
 to him

00:17:14.579 --> 00:17:15.579
 and chose

00:17:15.579 --> 00:17:16.759
 twelve of

00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:16.940
 them

00:17:16.940 --> 00:17:17.359
 whom he

00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:18.500
 also designated

00:17:18.500 --> 00:17:19.319
 or named

00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:20.539
 apostles

00:17:20.539 --> 00:17:20.779
 apostles

00:17:20.779 --> 00:17:22.740
 and so

00:17:22.740 --> 00:17:23.279
 these twelve

00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:23.539
 men

00:17:23.539 --> 00:17:23.859
 they get

00:17:23.859 --> 00:17:24.559
 this special

00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:25.220
 designation

00:17:25.220 --> 00:17:26.099
 from all

00:17:26.099 --> 00:17:26.559
 the rest

00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:27.440
 apostles

00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:28.920
 the word

00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:29.859
 apostle comes

00:17:29.859 --> 00:17:30.539
 right out of

00:17:30.539 --> 00:17:30.899
 the Greek

00:17:30.899 --> 00:17:31.619
 language from

00:17:31.619 --> 00:17:31.940
 the word

00:17:31.940 --> 00:17:32.819
 apostolos

00:17:32.819 --> 00:17:34.079
 and it

00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:34.519
 means a

00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:35.099
 person who

00:17:35.099 --> 00:17:35.859
 is sent

00:17:35.859 --> 00:17:36.319
 out

00:17:36.319 --> 00:17:38.399
 it's often

00:17:38.399 --> 00:17:38.940
 used in

00:17:38.940 --> 00:17:40.180
 ways to

00:17:40.180 --> 00:17:40.759
 describe a

00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:41.220
 messenger

00:17:41.220 --> 00:17:42.480
 or a

00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:42.839
 delegate

00:17:42.839 --> 00:17:44.319
 or an

00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:44.799
 ambassador

00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:46.839
 and we're

00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:47.039
 going to

00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:47.659
 impact this

00:17:47.659 --> 00:17:48.180
 more deeply

00:17:48.180 --> 00:17:48.680
 as we go

00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:49.359
 along here

00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:50.439
 the apostles

00:17:50.439 --> 00:17:50.879
 come to

00:17:50.879 --> 00:17:51.179
 have a

00:17:51.179 --> 00:17:51.859
 very unique

00:17:51.859 --> 00:17:52.740
 role in

00:17:52.740 --> 00:17:53.099
 the plan

00:17:53.099 --> 00:17:53.579
 of God

00:17:53.579 --> 00:17:55.179
 we'll talk

00:17:55.179 --> 00:17:55.599
 about that

00:17:55.599 --> 00:17:56.019
 in future

00:17:56.019 --> 00:17:56.439
 sermons

00:17:56.439 --> 00:17:57.079
 especially as

00:17:57.079 --> 00:17:57.459
 we get to

00:17:57.459 --> 00:17:57.939
 Luke chapter

00:17:57.939 --> 00:17:58.519
 nine when

00:17:58.519 --> 00:17:59.319
 Jesus actually

00:17:59.319 --> 00:17:59.879
 sends them

00:17:59.879 --> 00:18:00.939
 out and

00:18:00.939 --> 00:18:01.599
 then enacts

00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:02.219
 the acts

00:18:02.219 --> 00:18:02.519
 of the

00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:02.979
 apostles

00:18:02.979 --> 00:18:05.159
 but for

00:18:05.159 --> 00:18:05.719
 today let's

00:18:05.719 --> 00:18:06.139
 just think

00:18:06.139 --> 00:18:06.759
 of two

00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:07.459
 essential

00:18:07.459 --> 00:18:08.500
 elements of

00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:09.059
 an apostle

00:18:09.059 --> 00:18:10.279
 and we get

00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:10.919
 these things

00:18:10.919 --> 00:18:11.439
 from the

00:18:11.439 --> 00:18:12.299
 word from

00:18:12.299 --> 00:18:13.119
 how that

00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:13.539
 word was

00:18:13.539 --> 00:18:14.039
 used even

00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:14.879
 before they

00:18:14.879 --> 00:18:15.500
 were designated

00:18:15.500 --> 00:18:16.139
 as such

00:18:16.139 --> 00:18:17.799
 the first

00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:18.939
 one to be

00:18:18.940 --> 00:18:19.539
 an apostle

00:18:19.539 --> 00:18:21.279
 it means

00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:21.740
 to be a

00:18:21.740 --> 00:18:22.420
 sent one

00:18:22.420 --> 00:18:24.039
 implies

00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:25.299
 that there

00:18:25.299 --> 00:18:25.980
 has to be

00:18:25.980 --> 00:18:26.799
 someone doing

00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:27.620
 the sending

00:18:27.620 --> 00:18:29.920
 it implies

00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:31.759
 that those

00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:32.480
 being sent

00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:33.799
 represent

00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:35.160
 the one

00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:35.559
 who is

00:18:35.559 --> 00:18:35.880
 sending

00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:37.640
 and in

00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:38.080
 this case

00:18:38.080 --> 00:18:38.320
 it's

00:18:38.320 --> 00:18:38.640
 Jesus

00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:40.059
 he's

00:18:40.059 --> 00:18:40.500
 choosing

00:18:40.500 --> 00:18:40.820
 these

00:18:40.820 --> 00:18:41.160
 twelve

00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:41.460
 men

00:18:41.460 --> 00:18:42.080
 and he's

00:18:42.080 --> 00:18:43.220
 not sent

00:18:43.220 --> 00:18:43.500
 them out

00:18:43.500 --> 00:18:43.860
 yet but

00:18:43.860 --> 00:18:44.299
 he's about

00:18:44.299 --> 00:18:44.900
 to send

00:18:44.900 --> 00:18:45.360
 them out

00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:46.579
 as his

00:18:46.579 --> 00:18:47.240
 representatives

00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:49.959
 second

00:18:49.959 --> 00:18:51.179
 the word

00:18:51.179 --> 00:18:51.619
 apostle

00:18:51.619 --> 00:18:52.119
 also

00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:52.699
 commonly

00:18:52.699 --> 00:18:53.099
 carried

00:18:53.099 --> 00:18:53.500
 the meaning

00:18:53.500 --> 00:18:54.159
 of messenger

00:18:54.159 --> 00:18:56.019
 and that

00:18:56.019 --> 00:18:56.699
 really fits

00:18:56.699 --> 00:18:57.039
 with the

00:18:57.039 --> 00:18:57.399
 role that

00:18:57.399 --> 00:18:57.939
 the apostles

00:18:57.939 --> 00:18:58.500
 were given

00:18:58.500 --> 00:18:59.759
 they will

00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:00.359
 not only

00:19:00.359 --> 00:19:00.599
 be

00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:01.219
 representatives

00:19:01.219 --> 00:19:01.859
 but they

00:19:01.859 --> 00:19:02.379
 will be

00:19:02.379 --> 00:19:02.839
 sent

00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:03.279
 with a

00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:03.819
 specific

00:19:03.819 --> 00:19:04.599
 message

00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:05.399
 from

00:19:05.399 --> 00:19:05.779
 Jesus

00:19:05.779 --> 00:19:06.879
 and we're

00:19:06.879 --> 00:19:07.059
 going to

00:19:07.059 --> 00:19:07.399
 hear more

00:19:07.399 --> 00:19:07.859
 about that

00:19:07.859 --> 00:19:08.279
 as well

00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:08.719
 when we

00:19:08.719 --> 00:19:09.019
 get to

00:19:09.019 --> 00:19:09.199
 Luke

00:19:09.199 --> 00:19:09.559
 chapter

00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:09.919
 nine

00:19:09.919 --> 00:19:11.699
 so

00:19:11.699 --> 00:19:12.039
 Jesus

00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:12.519
 is doing

00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:12.879
 something

00:19:12.879 --> 00:19:13.659
 very unique

00:19:13.659 --> 00:19:13.959
 here

00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:15.000
 he looks

00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:15.319
 at this

00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:15.680
 growing

00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:16.019
 pool

00:19:16.019 --> 00:19:16.340
 of his

00:19:16.340 --> 00:19:16.799
 disciples

00:19:16.799 --> 00:19:17.900
 and he

00:19:17.900 --> 00:19:18.279
 chooses

00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:18.860
 from among

00:19:18.860 --> 00:19:19.519
 them all

00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:20.620
 these twelve

00:19:20.620 --> 00:19:21.000
 men

00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:21.660
 and he

00:19:21.660 --> 00:19:22.340
 designates

00:19:22.340 --> 00:19:22.720
 them

00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:23.380
 apostles

00:19:23.380 --> 00:19:24.840
 it means

00:19:24.840 --> 00:19:25.100
 that they

00:19:25.100 --> 00:19:25.519
 will soon

00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:26.059
 be sent

00:19:26.059 --> 00:19:26.299
 out

00:19:26.299 --> 00:19:26.740
 as his

00:19:26.740 --> 00:19:27.400
 representatives

00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:28.160
 and as

00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:28.360
 his

00:19:28.360 --> 00:19:28.920
 messengers

00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:31.079
 and so

00:19:31.079 --> 00:19:31.440
 even though

00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:31.720
 this is

00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:32.059
 just a

00:19:32.059 --> 00:19:32.319
 small

00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:32.759
 paragraph

00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:33.640
 in Luke's

00:19:33.640 --> 00:19:33.980
 gospel

00:19:33.980 --> 00:19:34.440
 it marks

00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:35.000
 a massive

00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:35.500
 shift

00:19:35.500 --> 00:19:36.259
 in how

00:19:36.259 --> 00:19:36.720
 things are

00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:37.299
 going to

00:19:37.299 --> 00:19:37.559
 go

00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:38.600
 from now

00:19:38.600 --> 00:19:38.900
 on

00:19:38.900 --> 00:19:39.819
 first it

00:19:39.819 --> 00:19:40.200
 was just

00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:40.579
 Jesus

00:19:40.579 --> 00:19:41.039
 and the

00:19:41.039 --> 00:19:41.360
 crowds

00:19:41.360 --> 00:19:42.200
 all coming

00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:42.640
 to him

00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:42.900
 from

00:19:42.900 --> 00:19:43.319
 everywhere

00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:44.599
 but now

00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:44.879
 it's going

00:19:44.879 --> 00:19:45.079
 to be

00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:45.679
 these men

00:19:45.679 --> 00:19:46.419
 going out

00:19:46.419 --> 00:19:47.599
 proclaiming

00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:47.960
 Jesus

00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:48.679
 proclaiming

00:19:48.679 --> 00:19:49.099
 the kingdom

00:19:49.099 --> 00:19:49.519
 and the

00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:50.200
 crowds that

00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:50.659
 are already

00:19:50.659 --> 00:19:51.240
 large are

00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:51.619
 about to

00:19:51.619 --> 00:19:52.159
 get even

00:19:52.159 --> 00:19:52.539
 bigger

00:19:52.539 --> 00:19:53.619
 as we

00:19:53.619 --> 00:19:54.019
 go from

00:19:54.019 --> 00:19:54.319
 here

00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:57.119
 let's talk

00:19:57.119 --> 00:19:57.720
 for just a

00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:58.159
 minute about

00:19:58.159 --> 00:19:58.679
 who these

00:19:58.679 --> 00:19:59.379
 twelve men

00:19:59.379 --> 00:19:59.819
 are

00:19:59.819 --> 00:20:00.799
 Luke seems

00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:01.200
 to list

00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:01.480
 them in

00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:02.019
 order from

00:20:02.019 --> 00:20:02.799
 most prominent

00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:03.799
 to least

00:20:03.799 --> 00:20:06.659
 at the top

00:20:06.659 --> 00:20:07.079
 of the list

00:20:07.079 --> 00:20:07.579
 is Simon

00:20:07.579 --> 00:20:08.259
 also called

00:20:08.259 --> 00:20:08.619
 Peter

00:20:08.619 --> 00:20:11.359
 and his

00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:11.740
 brother

00:20:11.740 --> 00:20:12.779
 Andrew

00:20:12.779 --> 00:20:13.740
 both of

00:20:13.740 --> 00:20:14.000
 them were

00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:14.399
 fishermen

00:20:14.399 --> 00:20:14.720
 from

00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:15.200
 Galilee

00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:16.420
 then there

00:20:16.420 --> 00:20:16.559
 were

00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:16.920
 James

00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:17.220
 and his

00:20:17.220 --> 00:20:17.420
 brother

00:20:17.420 --> 00:20:17.879
 John

00:20:17.879 --> 00:20:18.879
 the sons

00:20:18.879 --> 00:20:19.500
 of Zebedee

00:20:19.500 --> 00:20:20.519
 also

00:20:20.519 --> 00:20:21.000
 fishermen

00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:21.319
 from

00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:21.819
 Galilee

00:20:21.819 --> 00:20:26.980
 then there

00:20:26.980 --> 00:20:27.119
 was

00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:27.519
 Philip

00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:28.160
 who is

00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:28.480
 from the

00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:28.720
 same

00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:29.119
 town

00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:29.480
 as

00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:29.799
 Peter

00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:29.960
 and

00:20:29.960 --> 00:20:30.379
 Andrew

00:20:30.379 --> 00:20:31.480
 and we

00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:31.660
 don't

00:20:31.660 --> 00:20:31.819
 know

00:20:31.819 --> 00:20:32.220
 too much

00:20:32.220 --> 00:20:32.440
 more

00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:32.700
 about

00:20:32.700 --> 00:20:33.019
 Philip

00:20:33.019 --> 00:20:34.460
 he

00:20:34.460 --> 00:20:34.879
 appears

00:20:34.879 --> 00:20:35.299
 in the

00:20:35.299 --> 00:20:35.660
 gospel

00:20:35.660 --> 00:20:36.079
 of John

00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:36.399
 as the

00:20:36.399 --> 00:20:36.599
 one

00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:36.920
 that the

00:20:36.920 --> 00:20:37.160
 Greeks

00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:37.759
 go to

00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:38.399
 when they're

00:20:38.399 --> 00:20:38.680
 seeking

00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:39.160
 an audience

00:20:39.160 --> 00:20:39.379
 with

00:20:39.379 --> 00:20:39.700
 Jesus

00:20:39.700 --> 00:20:41.180
 and there's

00:20:41.180 --> 00:20:41.660
 also some

00:20:41.660 --> 00:20:42.039
 dialogue

00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:42.460
 between

00:20:42.460 --> 00:20:42.779
 Philip

00:20:42.779 --> 00:20:43.299
 and Jesus

00:20:43.299 --> 00:20:43.759
 in the

00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:44.220
 upper room

00:20:44.220 --> 00:20:44.660
 discourse

00:20:44.660 --> 00:20:45.120
 that we

00:20:45.120 --> 00:20:45.580
 read in

00:20:45.580 --> 00:20:46.120
 John

00:20:46.120 --> 00:20:46.920
 chapters

00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:47.500
 14

00:20:47.500 --> 00:20:48.400
 to 16

00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:50.340
 apart from

00:20:50.340 --> 00:20:50.600
 that

00:20:50.600 --> 00:20:51.259
 not much

00:20:51.259 --> 00:20:51.660
 else

00:20:51.660 --> 00:20:53.340
 then we

00:20:53.340 --> 00:20:53.539
 have

00:20:53.539 --> 00:20:54.360
 Bartholomew

00:20:54.360 --> 00:20:55.580
 he's

00:20:55.580 --> 00:20:55.980
 scarcely

00:20:55.980 --> 00:20:56.420
 mentioned

00:20:56.420 --> 00:20:57.200
 in the

00:20:57.200 --> 00:20:57.340
 New

00:20:57.340 --> 00:20:57.720
 Testament

00:20:57.720 --> 00:20:58.940
 but it's

00:20:58.940 --> 00:20:59.460
 thought that

00:20:59.460 --> 00:21:00.200
 he is

00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:00.880
 Nathaniel

00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:01.660
 from the

00:21:01.660 --> 00:21:02.019
 gospel

00:21:02.019 --> 00:21:02.559
 of John

00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:04.700
 interestingly

00:21:04.700 --> 00:21:05.559
 Bartholomew

00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:06.279
 quite literally

00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:06.920
 means

00:21:06.920 --> 00:21:07.600
 son

00:21:07.600 --> 00:21:08.039
 of

00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:08.820
 Ptolemy

00:21:08.820 --> 00:21:09.720
 Bar

00:21:09.720 --> 00:21:10.440
 son

00:21:10.440 --> 00:21:12.460
 Ptolemy

00:21:12.460 --> 00:21:13.160
 Ptolemy

00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:13.500
 you can

00:21:13.500 --> 00:21:13.800
 kind of

00:21:13.800 --> 00:21:14.140
 hear it

00:21:14.140 --> 00:21:14.380
 in the

00:21:14.380 --> 00:21:14.920
 word

00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:15.200
 so

00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:15.740
 if

00:21:15.740 --> 00:21:16.180
 Ptolemy

00:21:16.180 --> 00:21:16.460
 was

00:21:16.460 --> 00:21:17.080
 actually

00:21:17.080 --> 00:21:17.300
 his

00:21:17.300 --> 00:21:17.680
 dad's

00:21:17.680 --> 00:21:17.940
 name

00:21:17.940 --> 00:21:18.160
 then

00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:18.560
 basically

00:21:18.560 --> 00:21:18.920
 people

00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:19.259
 called

00:21:19.259 --> 00:21:19.460
 him

00:21:19.460 --> 00:21:20.160
 Ptolemy

00:21:20.160 --> 00:21:20.539
 son

00:21:20.539 --> 00:21:21.600
 and

00:21:21.600 --> 00:21:22.880
 likely

00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:23.480
 Nathaniel

00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:23.700
 was

00:21:23.700 --> 00:21:24.140
 actually

00:21:24.140 --> 00:21:24.400
 his

00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:24.660
 given

00:21:24.660 --> 00:21:25.000
 name

00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.100
 then

00:21:27.100 --> 00:21:27.360
 there's

00:21:27.360 --> 00:21:27.779
 Matthew

00:21:27.779 --> 00:21:28.980
 we already

00:21:28.980 --> 00:21:29.420
 heard about

00:21:29.420 --> 00:21:29.740
 him

00:21:29.740 --> 00:21:30.500
 that's

00:21:30.500 --> 00:21:30.759
 Levi

00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:31.820
 also

00:21:31.820 --> 00:21:32.140
 another

00:21:32.140 --> 00:21:32.460
 name

00:21:32.460 --> 00:21:32.900
 he was

00:21:32.900 --> 00:21:33.039
 the

00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:33.320
 tax

00:21:33.320 --> 00:21:33.720
 collector

00:21:33.720 --> 00:21:33.980
 that

00:21:33.980 --> 00:21:34.200
 threw

00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:34.400
 the

00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:35.060
 banquet

00:21:35.060 --> 00:21:35.960
 for

00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:36.380
 Jesus

00:21:36.380 --> 00:21:39.880
 then

00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:40.160
 there's

00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:40.640
 Thomas

00:21:40.640 --> 00:21:41.140
 also

00:21:41.140 --> 00:21:41.440
 known

00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:41.660
 as

00:21:41.660 --> 00:21:42.300
 doubting

00:21:42.300 --> 00:21:42.800
 Thomas

00:21:42.800 --> 00:21:44.220
 he

00:21:44.220 --> 00:21:44.640
 missed

00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:45.300
 the

00:21:45.300 --> 00:21:45.660
 first

00:21:45.660 --> 00:21:46.140
 big

00:21:46.140 --> 00:21:46.560
 resurrection

00:21:46.560 --> 00:21:47.160
 appearance

00:21:47.160 --> 00:21:47.380
 of

00:21:47.380 --> 00:21:47.680
 Jesus

00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:48.040
 to

00:21:48.040 --> 00:21:48.220
 the

00:21:48.220 --> 00:21:48.440
 rest

00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:48.600
 of

00:21:48.600 --> 00:21:48.980
 the

00:21:48.980 --> 00:21:49.480
 apostles

00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:50.400
 and

00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:50.520
 then

00:21:50.520 --> 00:21:50.620
 he

00:21:50.620 --> 00:21:50.780
 was

00:21:50.780 --> 00:21:51.160
 skeptical

00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:51.500
 till

00:21:51.500 --> 00:21:51.640
 he

00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:51.820
 saw

00:21:51.820 --> 00:21:52.200
 Jesus

00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:52.740
 alive

00:21:52.740 --> 00:21:52.980
 for

00:21:52.980 --> 00:21:53.420
 himself

00:21:53.420 --> 00:21:54.000
 a

00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:54.180
 week

00:21:54.180 --> 00:21:54.560
 later

00:21:54.560 --> 00:21:56.080
 then

00:21:56.080 --> 00:21:56.320
 there's

00:21:56.320 --> 00:21:56.700
 James

00:21:56.700 --> 00:21:57.000
 son

00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:57.160
 of

00:21:57.160 --> 00:21:57.600
 Alpheus

00:21:57.600 --> 00:21:58.560
 he's

00:21:58.560 --> 00:21:58.900
 only

00:21:58.900 --> 00:21:59.320
 mentioned

00:21:59.320 --> 00:21:59.920
 in

00:21:59.920 --> 00:22:00.120
 the

00:22:00.120 --> 00:22:00.400

00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:00.580
 of

00:22:00.580 --> 00:22:00.680
 the

00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:01.100
 apostles

00:22:01.100 --> 00:22:01.500
 very

00:22:01.500 --> 00:22:01.740
 little

00:22:01.740 --> 00:22:01.920
 is

00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:02.120
 known

00:22:02.120 --> 00:22:02.360
 about

00:22:02.360 --> 00:22:02.520
 him

00:22:02.520 --> 00:22:02.900
 today

00:22:02.900 --> 00:22:05.000
 there's

00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:05.300
 Simon

00:22:05.300 --> 00:22:05.680
 the

00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:06.080
 zealot

00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:07.500
 another

00:22:07.500 --> 00:22:07.740
 one

00:22:07.740 --> 00:22:08.099
 only

00:22:08.099 --> 00:22:08.559
 mentioned

00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:08.939
 in the

00:22:08.939 --> 00:22:09.199

00:22:09.779 --> 00:22:10.159
 nowhere

 in the

00:22:11.279 --> 00:22:11.679
 testament

00:22:11.679 --> 00:22:12.899
 it's

00:22:12.899 --> 00:22:13.079
 pure

00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:13.720
 speculation

00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:14.639
 but

00:22:14.639 --> 00:22:15.000
 either

00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:15.579
 zealot

00:22:15.579 --> 00:22:16.480
 describes

 his own

 religious

00:22:17.379 --> 00:22:17.819
 zeal

00:22:17.819 --> 00:22:18.199
 like he

00:22:18.199 --> 00:22:18.519
 was a

00:22:22.579 --> 00:22:23.220
 it

00:22:23.220 --> 00:22:23.740
 describes

00:22:23.740 --> 00:22:24.139
 his

00:22:24.139 --> 00:22:25.059
 background

00:22:25.059 --> 00:22:26.339
 before

00:22:26.339 --> 00:22:26.759
 Christ

00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:27.240
 probably

00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:27.679
 in the

00:22:27.679 --> 00:22:28.099
 political

00:22:28.099 --> 00:22:28.599
 movement

00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:28.879
 which

00:22:28.879 --> 00:22:29.119
 sought

00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:29.339
 to

00:22:29.339 --> 00:22:29.740
 overthrow

00:22:29.740 --> 00:22:30.019
 the

 guerrilla

00:22:32.059 --> 00:22:32.480
 warfare

00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:33.119
 tactics

00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:33.959
 they

00:22:33.959 --> 00:22:34.099
 were

00:22:34.099 --> 00:22:34.339
 known

00:24:13.340 --> 00:24:14.100
 city

00:24:14.100 --> 00:24:16.180
 maybe

00:24:16.180 --> 00:24:16.540
 sounds

00:24:16.540 --> 00:24:16.759
 a little

00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:17.140
 flat

00:24:17.140 --> 00:24:17.280
 in

00:24:17.280 --> 00:24:17.520
 English

00:24:17.520 --> 00:24:17.740
 a

00:24:17.740 --> 00:24:18.060
 great

00:24:18.060 --> 00:24:18.480
 number

00:24:18.480 --> 00:24:19.000
 but

00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:19.300
 some

00:24:19.300 --> 00:24:19.380
 of

00:24:19.380 --> 00:24:19.440
 the

00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:19.620
 other

00:24:19.620 --> 00:24:20.120
 translations

00:24:20.120 --> 00:24:20.500
 say

00:24:20.500 --> 00:24:20.700
 a

00:24:20.700 --> 00:24:21.080
 great

00:24:21.080 --> 00:24:21.800
 multitude

00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:22.859
 so

00:24:22.859 --> 00:24:23.000
 we're

00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:23.240
 talking

00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:23.819
 big

00:24:23.819 --> 00:24:24.200
 crowd

00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:24.579
 lots

00:24:24.579 --> 00:24:24.720
 of

00:24:24.720 --> 00:24:25.059
 people

00:24:25.059 --> 00:24:26.279
 from

00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:26.440
 all

00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:26.819
 over

00:24:26.819 --> 00:24:28.539
 let's

00:24:28.539 --> 00:24:28.680
 just

00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:28.859
 think

00:24:28.859 --> 00:24:29.039
 where

00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:29.319
 Jesus

00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:29.639
 is

00:24:29.639 --> 00:24:29.819
 for

00:24:29.819 --> 00:24:29.940
 a

00:24:29.940 --> 00:24:30.220
 moment

00:24:30.220 --> 00:24:31.519
 he's

00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:31.879
 up

00:24:31.879 --> 00:24:32.119
 in

00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:33.279
 Galilee

00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:34.799
 probably

00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:35.059
 up

00:24:35.059 --> 00:24:35.579
 somewhere

00:24:35.579 --> 00:24:35.980
 around

00:24:35.980 --> 00:24:36.559
 Capernaum

00:24:36.559 --> 00:24:36.819
 in the

00:24:36.819 --> 00:24:37.139
 north

00:24:37.139 --> 00:24:38.980
 and

00:24:38.980 --> 00:24:39.119
 they

00:24:39.119 --> 00:24:39.259
 are

00:24:39.259 --> 00:24:39.519
 coming

00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:39.759
 from

00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:40.099
 all

00:24:40.099 --> 00:24:40.519
 over

00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:41.279
 Judea

00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:41.519
 so

00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:41.839
 that's

00:24:41.839 --> 00:24:42.039
 the

00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:42.339
 southern

00:24:42.339 --> 00:24:42.759
 region

00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:43.079
 way

00:24:43.079 --> 00:24:43.399
 down

00:24:43.399 --> 00:24:43.779
 here

00:24:43.779 --> 00:24:46.339
 probably

00:24:46.339 --> 00:24:46.559
 a

00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:46.799
 three

00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:47.000
 to

00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:47.299
 five

00:24:47.299 --> 00:24:47.599
 days

00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:47.919
 journey

00:24:47.919 --> 00:24:48.119
 on

00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:48.359
 foot

00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:48.740
 depending

00:24:48.740 --> 00:24:48.919
 on

00:24:48.919 --> 00:24:49.059
 where

00:24:49.059 --> 00:24:49.240
 you

00:24:49.240 --> 00:24:49.500
 start

00:24:49.500 --> 00:24:49.720
 from

00:24:49.720 --> 00:24:49.940
 how

00:24:49.940 --> 00:24:50.139
 far

00:24:50.139 --> 00:24:50.519
 south

00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:50.740
 and

00:24:50.740 --> 00:24:50.960
 how

00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:51.159
 far

00:24:51.159 --> 00:24:51.500
 north

00:24:51.500 --> 00:24:51.759
 this

00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:52.059
 mountain

00:24:52.059 --> 00:24:52.440
 is

00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:55.799
 they've

00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:56.160
 traveled

00:24:56.160 --> 00:24:57.579
 three

00:24:57.579 --> 00:24:57.779
 to

00:24:57.779 --> 00:24:58.099
 five

00:24:58.099 --> 00:24:58.519
 days

00:24:58.519 --> 00:24:58.859
 on

00:24:58.859 --> 00:24:59.259
 foot

00:24:59.259 --> 00:25:00.279
 to

00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:00.519
 see

00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:00.900
 Jesus

00:25:00.900 --> 00:25:01.160
 at

00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:01.299
 the

00:25:01.299 --> 00:25:01.519
 base

00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:01.660
 of

00:25:01.660 --> 00:25:01.839
 this

00:25:01.839 --> 00:25:02.200
 mountain

00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:03.720
 not

00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:03.920
 only

00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:04.200
 that

00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:04.359
 but

00:25:04.359 --> 00:25:04.539
 they're

00:25:04.539 --> 00:25:04.759
 also

00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:05.119
 coming

00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:05.500
 from

00:25:05.500 --> 00:25:06.359
 the

00:25:06.359 --> 00:25:06.680
 regions

00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:06.880
 of

00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:07.200
 Tyre

00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:07.380
 and

00:25:07.380 --> 00:25:07.779
 Sidon

00:25:07.779 --> 00:25:09.140
 so

00:25:09.140 --> 00:25:09.279
 we

00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:09.440
 see

00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:09.740
 way

00:25:09.740 --> 00:25:09.940
 up

00:25:09.940 --> 00:25:10.140
 here

00:25:10.140 --> 00:25:10.279
 in

00:25:10.279 --> 00:25:10.380
 the

00:25:10.380 --> 00:25:10.700
 north

00:25:10.700 --> 00:25:11.700
 and

00:25:11.700 --> 00:25:12.200
 depending

00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:12.559
 again

00:25:12.559 --> 00:25:12.740
 on

00:25:12.740 --> 00:25:12.940
 how

00:25:12.940 --> 00:25:13.119
 far

00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:13.440
 north

00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:13.640
 it

00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:13.759
 could

00:25:13.759 --> 00:25:13.900
 be

00:25:13.900 --> 00:25:14.119
 about

00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:14.259
 a

00:25:14.259 --> 00:25:14.460
 three

00:25:14.460 --> 00:25:14.759
 days

00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:15.119
 journey

00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:15.400
 from

00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:15.720
 there

00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:16.900
 and

00:25:16.900 --> 00:25:17.039
 then

00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:17.420
 lastly

00:25:17.420 --> 00:25:17.700
 we

00:25:17.700 --> 00:25:18.240
 hear

00:25:18.240 --> 00:25:18.519
 that

00:25:18.519 --> 00:25:18.839
 they're

00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:19.099
 coming

00:25:19.099 --> 00:25:19.359
 from

00:25:19.359 --> 00:25:19.900
 Jerusalem

00:25:19.900 --> 00:25:20.900
 that

00:25:20.900 --> 00:25:21.400
 famous

00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:21.859
 great

00:25:21.859 --> 00:25:22.319
 capital

00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:22.779
 city

00:25:22.779 --> 00:25:23.660
 in

00:25:23.660 --> 00:25:24.160
 Judea

00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:24.920
 and

00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:25.140
 there's

00:25:25.140 --> 00:25:25.319
 maybe

00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:25.619
 a little

00:25:25.619 --> 00:25:25.759
 bit

00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:25.900
 of

00:25:25.900 --> 00:25:26.160
 irony

00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:26.539
 here

00:25:26.539 --> 00:25:28.200
 usually

00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:28.660
 Jerusalem

00:25:28.660 --> 00:25:28.980
 is the

00:25:28.980 --> 00:25:29.579
 destination

00:25:29.579 --> 00:25:30.700
 that's

00:25:30.700 --> 00:25:31.019
 the place

00:25:31.019 --> 00:25:31.259
 you want

00:25:31.259 --> 00:25:31.599
 to go

00:25:31.599 --> 00:25:33.039
 that's

00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:33.259
 where the

00:25:33.259 --> 00:25:33.500
 temple

00:25:33.500 --> 00:25:33.940
 of God

00:25:33.940 --> 00:25:34.200
 is

00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:34.500
 that's

00:25:34.500 --> 00:25:34.759
 where the

00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:34.980
 Jewish

00:25:34.980 --> 00:25:35.420
 council

00:25:35.420 --> 00:25:35.880
 is

00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:36.819
 that's

00:25:36.819 --> 00:25:37.079
 where the

00:25:37.079 --> 00:25:37.420
 annual

00:25:37.420 --> 00:25:37.980
 festivals

00:25:37.980 --> 00:25:38.660
 are held

00:25:38.660 --> 00:25:40.619
 it's the

00:25:40.619 --> 00:25:40.839
 great

00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:41.220
 city

00:25:41.220 --> 00:25:41.559
 of

00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:42.039
 the

00:25:42.039 --> 00:25:42.319
 great

00:25:42.319 --> 00:25:42.779
 kings

00:25:42.779 --> 00:25:43.319
 David

00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:44.019
 Solomon

00:25:44.019 --> 00:25:44.720
 Hezekiah

00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:45.819
 and yet

00:25:45.819 --> 00:25:46.480
 all kinds

00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:46.920
 of people

00:25:46.920 --> 00:25:47.200
 Luke

00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:47.460
 says

00:25:47.460 --> 00:25:47.700
 from

00:25:47.700 --> 00:25:48.099
 that

00:25:48.099 --> 00:25:48.579
 city

00:25:48.579 --> 00:25:49.420
 are

00:25:49.420 --> 00:25:49.859
 traveling

00:25:49.859 --> 00:25:50.339
 way

00:25:50.339 --> 00:25:50.579
 up

00:25:50.579 --> 00:25:51.000
 north

00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:51.619
 to

00:25:51.619 --> 00:25:51.819
 the

00:25:51.819 --> 00:25:52.359
 boonies

00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:54.119
 and are

00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:54.460
 camped

00:25:54.460 --> 00:25:54.680
 out at

00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:55.019
 the base

00:25:55.019 --> 00:25:55.339
 of an

00:25:55.339 --> 00:25:56.240
 unspecified

00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:56.720
 mountain

00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:57.660
 looking

00:25:57.660 --> 00:25:58.319
 for

00:25:58.319 --> 00:25:58.740
 Jesus

00:25:58.740 --> 00:26:01.500
 why are

00:26:01.500 --> 00:26:01.940
 they here

00:26:01.940 --> 00:26:03.460
 Luke

00:26:03.460 --> 00:26:03.759
 says

00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:04.019
 they'd

00:26:04.019 --> 00:26:04.339
 come to

00:26:04.339 --> 00:26:04.880
 hear him

00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:05.660
 and to

00:26:05.660 --> 00:26:06.240
 be healed

00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:07.000
 of their

00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:07.500
 diseases

00:26:07.500 --> 00:26:08.759
 Jesus

00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:09.400
 and so

00:26:09.400 --> 00:26:09.859
 already

00:26:09.859 --> 00:26:10.440
 as

00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:10.779
 Jesus

00:26:10.779 --> 00:26:11.059
 is

00:26:11.059 --> 00:26:11.319
 just

00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:11.900
 choosing

00:26:11.900 --> 00:26:12.779
 the

00:26:12.779 --> 00:26:13.339
 twelve

00:26:13.339 --> 00:26:14.799
 apostles

00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:15.460
 who

00:26:15.460 --> 00:26:15.640
 they

00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:15.799
 will

00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:16.119
 be

00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:16.700
 word

00:26:16.700 --> 00:26:16.900
 has

00:26:16.900 --> 00:26:17.200
 spread

00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:17.500
 almost

00:26:17.500 --> 00:26:17.880
 a hundred

00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:18.380
 miles

00:26:18.380 --> 00:26:19.160
 to the

00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:19.500
 north

00:26:19.500 --> 00:26:20.380
 and almost

00:26:20.380 --> 00:26:20.740
 a hundred

00:26:20.740 --> 00:26:21.160
 miles

00:26:21.160 --> 00:26:21.559
 to the

00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:21.880
 south

00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:23.579
 of the

00:26:23.579 --> 00:26:23.819
 things

00:26:23.819 --> 00:26:24.019
 he's

00:26:24.019 --> 00:26:24.299
 saying

00:26:24.299 --> 00:26:24.579
 and the

00:26:24.579 --> 00:26:24.799
 things

00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:25.000
 he's

00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:25.299
 doing

00:26:25.299 --> 00:26:26.660
 and what

00:26:26.660 --> 00:26:27.119
 an amazing

00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:27.559
 moment

00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:28.259
 this was

00:26:28.259 --> 00:26:29.640
 can you

00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:29.920
 picture

00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:30.359
 this

00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:31.279
 Jesus

00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:31.839
 is coming

00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:32.220
 down the

00:26:32.220 --> 00:26:32.500
 mountain

00:26:32.500 --> 00:26:33.119
 with four

00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:33.599
 fishermen

00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:35.039
 a tax

00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:35.519
 collector

00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:36.119
 and seven

00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:36.759
 other guys

00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:37.379
 that they

00:26:37.379 --> 00:26:37.819
 and we

00:26:37.819 --> 00:26:38.459
 know almost

00:26:38.459 --> 00:26:38.819
 nothing

00:26:38.819 --> 00:26:39.219
 about

00:26:39.219 --> 00:26:40.899
 and people

00:26:40.899 --> 00:26:41.219
 who are

00:26:41.219 --> 00:26:42.000
 very obviously

00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:42.699
 possessed by

00:26:42.699 --> 00:26:43.219
 demons

00:26:43.219 --> 00:26:44.240
 are being

00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:44.759
 cured

00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:46.119
 in front

00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:46.819
 of everyone

00:26:46.819 --> 00:26:49.439
 those

00:26:49.439 --> 00:26:50.079
 troubled by

00:26:50.079 --> 00:26:50.559
 impure

00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:51.019
 spirits

00:26:51.019 --> 00:26:51.699
 were cured

00:26:51.699 --> 00:26:52.959
 and the

00:26:52.959 --> 00:26:53.559
 people all

00:26:53.559 --> 00:26:54.079
 tried to

00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:54.480
 touch him

00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:55.279
 because power

00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:55.919
 was coming

00:26:55.919 --> 00:26:56.419
 from him

00:26:56.419 --> 00:26:57.119
 and healing

00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:57.719
 them all

00:26:57.719 --> 00:26:59.859
 can you

00:26:59.859 --> 00:27:00.159
 imagine

00:27:00.159 --> 00:27:00.539
 this

00:27:00.539 --> 00:27:02.559
 the gasping

00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:02.899
 and the

00:27:02.899 --> 00:27:03.279
 wonder

00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:03.599
 and the

00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:04.200
 amazement

00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:04.599
 and the

00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:05.359
 cheering

00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:05.779
 and the

00:27:05.779 --> 00:27:06.379
 celebration

00:27:06.379 --> 00:27:07.399
 and as

00:27:07.399 --> 00:27:07.920
 people are

00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:08.420
 healed

00:27:08.420 --> 00:27:09.019
 and others

00:27:09.019 --> 00:27:09.899
 see it

00:27:09.899 --> 00:27:10.720
 the desire

00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:11.339
 of everyone

00:27:11.339 --> 00:27:11.680
 in this

00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:12.379
 great multitude

00:27:12.379 --> 00:27:14.099
 is intensified

00:27:14.099 --> 00:27:14.579
 to get

00:27:14.579 --> 00:27:15.319
 closer

00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:16.299
 some for

00:27:16.299 --> 00:27:16.579
 healing

00:27:16.579 --> 00:27:17.339
 for themselves

00:27:17.339 --> 00:27:18.339
 others for

00:27:18.339 --> 00:27:18.839
 healing for

00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:19.399
 a friend

00:27:19.399 --> 00:27:20.759
 or a loved

00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:21.139
 one

00:27:21.139 --> 00:27:23.180
 or even

00:27:23.180 --> 00:27:23.819
 just to get

00:27:23.819 --> 00:27:24.859
 close to see

00:27:24.859 --> 00:27:25.420
 what all is

00:27:25.420 --> 00:27:25.879
 happening

00:27:25.879 --> 00:27:27.039
 and to hear

00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:27.519
 the things

00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:28.099
 Jesus is

00:27:28.099 --> 00:27:28.480
 saying

00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:30.379
 and I love

00:27:30.379 --> 00:27:30.799
 the language

00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:31.539
 of proximity

00:27:31.539 --> 00:27:32.019
 here

00:27:32.019 --> 00:27:33.480
 power

00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:34.259
 was coming

00:27:34.259 --> 00:27:34.879
 from him

00:27:34.879 --> 00:27:36.099
 and healing

00:27:36.099 --> 00:27:36.660
 them all

00:27:36.660 --> 00:27:38.519
 everyone

00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:39.180
 who even

00:27:39.180 --> 00:27:39.940
 made contact

00:27:39.940 --> 00:27:40.500
 with him

00:27:40.500 --> 00:27:41.079
 who touched

00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:41.379
 him

00:27:41.379 --> 00:27:42.779
 was healed

00:27:42.779 --> 00:27:44.200
 it was a

00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:44.500
 day of

00:27:44.500 --> 00:27:45.079
 countless

00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:45.680
 miracles

00:27:45.680 --> 00:27:46.639
 of all

00:27:46.639 --> 00:27:47.200
 kinds

00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:48.859
 didn't matter

00:27:48.859 --> 00:27:49.799
 what virus

00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:50.460
 or disease

00:27:50.460 --> 00:27:51.400
 or malady

00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:53.579
 even demonic

00:27:53.579 --> 00:27:54.180
 possession

00:27:54.180 --> 00:27:55.359
 whatever condition

00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:56.000
 they had

00:27:56.000 --> 00:27:57.359
 when they came

00:27:57.359 --> 00:27:57.940
 into contact

00:27:57.940 --> 00:27:58.579
 with Jesus

00:27:58.579 --> 00:27:59.439
 it was utterly

00:27:59.439 --> 00:28:00.259
 vanquished

00:28:00.259 --> 00:28:01.480
 and dispelled

00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:02.199
 eliminated

00:28:02.199 --> 00:28:02.740
 just like

00:28:02.740 --> 00:28:03.939
 pure light

00:28:03.939 --> 00:28:05.039
 overthrows

00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:06.119
 the darkness

00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:06.699
 in front of

00:28:06.699 --> 00:28:06.899
 it

00:28:06.899 --> 00:28:09.419
 and then

00:28:09.419 --> 00:28:10.299
 Jesus

00:28:10.299 --> 00:28:11.279
 begins to

00:28:11.279 --> 00:28:11.639
 speak

00:28:11.639 --> 00:28:13.679
 and we're

00:28:13.679 --> 00:28:14.099
 going to save

00:28:14.099 --> 00:28:14.740
 what he says

00:28:14.740 --> 00:28:15.279
 for the next

00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:15.759
 number of

00:28:15.759 --> 00:28:16.139
 messages

00:28:16.139 --> 00:28:17.019
 starting next

00:28:17.019 --> 00:28:17.319
 week

00:28:17.319 --> 00:28:19.299
 let's pray

00:28:19.299 --> 00:28:26.639
 father in heaven

00:28:26.639 --> 00:28:27.139
 we thank you

00:28:27.139 --> 00:28:27.680
 for the glimpse

00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:28.119
 you've given

00:28:28.119 --> 00:28:28.639
 us as to

00:28:28.639 --> 00:28:29.019
 what took

00:28:29.019 --> 00:28:29.419
 place

00:28:29.419 --> 00:28:30.159
 all those

00:28:30.159 --> 00:28:30.720
 years ago

00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:32.799
 with your

00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:33.119
 son

00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:37.599
 and as we

00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:38.139
 see him

00:28:38.139 --> 00:28:38.799
 up on that

00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:39.259
 mountain

00:28:39.259 --> 00:28:41.539
 talking to

00:28:41.539 --> 00:28:41.839
 you

00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:45.719
 we feel

00:28:45.719 --> 00:28:46.119
 drawn

00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:49.119
 we want to

00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:49.859
 have something

00:28:49.859 --> 00:28:50.239
 of that

00:28:50.239 --> 00:28:50.859
 relationship

00:28:50.859 --> 00:28:51.459
 that he

00:28:51.459 --> 00:28:52.139
 has with

00:28:52.139 --> 00:28:52.459
 you

00:28:52.459 --> 00:28:53.539
 ourselves

00:28:53.539 --> 00:28:56.759
 and so I

00:28:56.759 --> 00:28:57.279
 pray that you

00:28:57.279 --> 00:28:57.699
 would draw

00:28:57.699 --> 00:28:58.359
 each one of

00:28:58.359 --> 00:28:59.119
 us deeper

00:28:59.119 --> 00:29:00.719
 into fellowship

00:29:00.719 --> 00:29:01.579
 into friendship

00:29:01.579 --> 00:29:02.259
 relationship

00:29:02.259 --> 00:29:02.879
 with you

00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:04.180
 fill our

00:29:04.180 --> 00:29:04.680
 hearts with

00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:05.180
 faith

00:29:05.180 --> 00:29:06.520
 may this

00:29:06.520 --> 00:29:06.900
 week

00:29:06.900 --> 00:29:08.780
 be a week

00:29:08.780 --> 00:29:09.360
 of prayer

00:29:09.360 --> 00:29:11.920
 not just

00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:12.940
 one time a

00:29:12.940 --> 00:29:13.520
 day or at

00:29:13.520 --> 00:29:14.260
 meals but

00:29:14.260 --> 00:29:15.080
 all throughout

00:29:15.080 --> 00:29:15.800
 each day

00:29:15.800 --> 00:29:18.320
 and may we

00:29:18.320 --> 00:29:20.000
 even feel

00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:20.920
 closer to

00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:21.220
 you

00:29:21.220 --> 00:29:22.740
 than we

00:29:22.740 --> 00:29:23.320
 ever have

00:29:23.320 --> 00:29:23.900
 in our

00:29:23.900 --> 00:29:24.300
 lives

00:29:24.300 --> 00:29:26.680
 touch us

00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:28.580
 and work

00:29:28.580 --> 00:29:28.840
 in us

00:29:28.840 --> 00:29:29.280
 we pray

00:29:29.280 --> 00:29:30.380
 draw us

00:29:30.380 --> 00:29:30.780
 close

00:29:30.779 --> 00:29:33.299
 amen

00:29:33.299 --> 00:29:34.180
 who

00:29:34.180 --> 00:29:34.180


00:29:34.180 --> 00:29:34.180


00:29:34.180 --> 00:29:34.180


00:29:34.180 --> 00:29:34.180


00:29:34.180 --> 00:29:34.180


00:29:34.180 --> 00:29:34.180


00:29:34.180 --> 00:29:34.180


00:29:34.180 --> 00:29:34.180


00:29:34.180 --> 00:29:34.180


00:29:34.180 --> 00:29:34.180


00:29:34.180 --> 00:29:34.180


00:29:34.180 --> 00:29:34.180


00:29:34.180 --> 00:29:34.180


00:29:34.180 --> 00:29:34.180
