WOULD YOU TURN WITH
00:00:17.20\00:00:27.53
ME TO THE BOOK OF MARK.
00:00:27.53\00:00:29.06
MARK, CHAPTER 6.
00:00:29.06\00:00:31.30
AND TONIGHT,
YOU'VE SEEN MY TITLE.
00:00:31.30\00:00:35.40
SOMEBODY ALREADY SAID, DID YOU
PLAN THAT TITLE JUST BECAUSE IT
00:00:35.40\00:00:38.40
WAS THE LAST NIGHT OF PREACHING?
00:00:38.40\00:00:41.46
WELL, I DIDN'T EXACTLY,
BUT IT FITS, DOESN'T IT ?
00:00:41.46\00:00:44.33
THE TITLE TONIGHT
IS THE PARTY'S OVER.
00:00:44.33\00:00:49.53
SO, YOU CAN TAKE IT ANY
WAY YOU CHOOSE, BUT THAT'S
00:00:49.53\00:00:53.06
THE TITLE FOR THIS SERMON.
00:00:53.06\00:00:55.83
GO TO MARK, CHAPTER
6, AND I'M GOING TO BEGIN
00:00:55.83\00:00:58.26
READING AT VERSE 25.
00:00:58.26\00:01:00.46
MARK, CHAPTER 6,
BEGINNING WITH VERSE 25.
00:01:00.46\00:01:04.13
HERE IS WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
00:01:04.13\00:01:06.36
AND SHE CAME IN STRAIGHT
WAY WITH HASTE UNTO THE KING,
00:01:06.36\00:01:10.73
AND ASKED, SAYING, I
WILL THAT THOU WILL GIVE ME BY
00:01:10.73\00:01:14.90
AND BY IN A CHARGER THE
HEAD OF JOHN THE BAPTIST.
00:01:14.90\00:01:20.76
AND THE KING
WAS EXCEEDING SORRY.
00:01:20.76\00:01:23.23
YET FOR HIS OATH SAKE AND
FOR THEIR SAKES, WHICH SAT WITH
00:01:23.23\00:01:27.13
HIM, HE WOULD NOT REJECT HER.
00:01:27.13\00:01:30.23
AND IMMEDIATELY THE KING SENT
AN EXECUTIONER AND COMMANDED
00:01:30.23\00:01:34.20
HIS HEAD TO BE BROUGHT.
00:01:34.20\00:01:36.56
AND HE WENT AND
BEHEADED HIM IN THE PRISON.
00:01:36.56\00:01:40.23
WOULD YOU PRAY WITH ME ?
00:01:40.23\00:01:42.16
FATHER IN HEAVEN, WE
ARE SO GRATEFUL ONCE AGAIN.
00:01:42.16\00:01:44.36
WE HAVE COME TO THE LAST
NIGHTLY SERMON OF THIS SERIES.
00:01:44.36\00:01:49.33
BUT WE ARE SO GRATEFUL
THAT THE PRESENCE OF GOD HAS
00:01:49.33\00:01:53.50
BEEN WITH US.
00:01:53.50\00:01:54.76
WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE
PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT,
00:01:54.76\00:01:57.50
FOR JESUS' POWER WITHIN
US, AROUND US, ABOUT US.
00:01:57.50\00:02:01.70
AND SO TONIGHT WE DO NOT DOUBT.
00:02:01.70\00:02:04.26
IT'S NOT
BECAUSE WE ARE POWERFUL.
00:02:04.26\00:02:07.20
IT'S NOT BECAUSE WE
CAN GUARANTEE SUCCESS.
00:02:07.20\00:02:10.80
BUT IT'S ONLY BECAUSE
WERE TWO OR THREE ARE GATHERED
00:02:10.80\00:02:14.10
TOGETHER IN GOD'S NAME,
GOD IS IN THE MIDST OF THEM.
00:02:14.10\00:02:17.96
DON'T FAIL US TONIGHT, FATHER.
00:02:17.96\00:02:19.73
BE WITH US, AND WE SHALL GIVE
THEE HONOR AND GLORY AND PRAISE.
00:02:19.73\00:02:24.03
IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AMEN.
00:02:24.03\00:02:28.43
THIS IS AN IMPRESSIVE OCCASION.
00:02:28.43\00:02:33.43
YOU MUST UNDERSTAND THAT
WHILE THE BIBLE SAYS THAT
00:02:33.43\00:02:37.26
JOHN DID NO MIRACLES.
00:02:37.26\00:02:39.13
THAT'S JOHN,
CHAPTER 10 AND VERSE 41.
00:02:39.13\00:02:42.36
JOHN DID NOT DO MIRACLES AS
AN ORDINARY PROPHET WOULD DO.
00:02:42.36\00:02:47.73
THERE WERE PEOPLE OF
GOD, THERE WERE MEN OF GOD WHO
00:02:47.73\00:02:49.93
TOUCHED THOSE WITH
DISEASES AND THEY WERE HEALED.
00:02:49.93\00:02:54.43
THERE WERE MEN OF GOD WHO WOULD
OFFER PRAYERS AND SUPERNORMAL
00:02:54.43\00:02:58.96
OCCURRENCES FOLLOWED.
00:02:58.96\00:03:01.56
JOHN DID NONE OF THESE THINGS,
BUT WHEN HE SPOKE, YOU KNEW
00:03:01.56\00:03:08.13
THAT THERE WAS POWER.
00:03:08.13\00:03:10.40
MOST OF HIS PREACHING WAS
NOT ABOUT HIM, IT WAS ABOUT THE
00:03:10.40\00:03:14.83
ONE WHO WOULD FOLLOW HIM.
00:03:14.83\00:03:16.96
HE SAID THERE'S SOMEBODY
COMING AFTER ME WHOSE SHOES I'M
00:03:16.96\00:03:22.26
NOT WORTHY TO UNLATCH.
00:03:22.26\00:03:25.26
I'M NOT WORTHY TO PUT
ON OR TAKE HIS SHOES OFF.
00:03:25.26\00:03:29.63
SO YOU WOULD THINK THAT IF
SOMEBODY CAME PREACHING SAYING
00:03:29.63\00:03:32.63
HOW LOWLY THEY WERE AND
HOW HUMBLE THEY WERE, YOU WOULD
00:03:32.63\00:03:36.93
THINK THAT NOBODY WOULD CARE.
00:03:36.93\00:03:39.46
BUT THE BIBLE SAYS THIS, WHILE
HE DID NO MIRACLE AS NORMAL
00:03:39.46\00:03:44.73
PROPHETS WOULD DO, EVERY WORD
HE SAID WAS TRUE AND THE PEOPLE
00:03:44.73\00:03:51.13
GATHERED ABOUT HIM BECAUSE HE
WAS AN EXTRAORDINARY PREACHER.
00:03:51.13\00:03:55.83
IN FACT, ONE OF MY FAVORITE
WRITERS SAYS THAT WHEN JOHN THE
00:03:55.83\00:03:58.56
BAPTIST SPOKE, SATAN WAS
IN FEAR OF LOSING HIS KINGDOM.
00:03:58.56\00:04:05.30
THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO LIVED
DURING THE TIME OF JOHN THE
00:04:05.30\00:04:09.06
BAPTIST WHO THOUGHT HE KNEW TOO
MUCH TO BE AS YOUNG AS HE WAS.
00:04:09.06\00:04:13.93
HE WAS NOT A SLAVE TO FASHION.
00:04:13.93\00:04:16.53
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT HE
WORE VERY STRANGE CLOTHES.
00:04:16.53\00:04:20.23
HE WAS NOT POPULAR
BECAUSE OF HIS DRESS.
00:04:20.23\00:04:23.90
HE WAS NOT POPULAR BECAUSE
OF HIS EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND.
00:04:23.90\00:04:26.90
THERE IS NOTHING
THAT YOU CAN PROVE.
00:04:26.90\00:04:28.96
HE WAS NOT POPULAR
BECAUSE OF WHERE HE PREACHED.
00:04:28.96\00:04:31.70
IT APPEARS THAT MOST OF THE
TIME WHEN HE PREACHED HE WAS
00:04:31.70\00:04:34.50
OUT IN THE WILDERNESS.
00:04:34.50\00:04:35.73
SO, THE PEOPLE FROM THE
CITY, WEARING THEIR NICE LITTLE
00:04:35.73\00:04:39.63
CITY CLOTHES, CAME OUT TO
THE COUNTRY AND SAT ANYWHERE
00:04:39.63\00:04:44.66
THEY COULD TO LISTEN TO
THE WORDS OF JOHN THE BAPTIST.
00:04:44.66\00:04:48.93
AND HIS PREACHING BECAME
SO POWERFUL THAT PEOPLE BEGAN
00:04:48.93\00:04:53.60
TO WHISPER TO EACH OTHER,
WHY DON'T WE MAKE HIM OUR KING.
00:04:53.60\00:04:59.20
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
00:04:59.20\00:05:00.36
THIS IS WHAT I KNOW FOR SURE.
00:05:00.36\00:05:03.43
JUST TO STAND UP AND
TALK DOESN'T GIVE YOU POWER.
00:05:03.43\00:05:08.53
JUST TO INVOKE GOD'S
NAME DOESN'T GIVE YOU POWER.
00:05:08.53\00:05:12.93
ANYBODY CAN DO THAT.
00:05:12.93\00:05:15.53
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE THE
POWER THAT COMES FROM ABOVE.
00:05:15.53\00:05:19.26
AND WHEN THING LIKE THIS HAPPEN,
BE SURE THAT IT'S NOT THE
00:05:19.26\00:05:22.90
HUMAN BEING WHO DOES IT.
00:05:22.90\00:05:24.93
IT'S NOT BY MIGHT, NOT BY
POWER, BUT BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD.
00:05:24.93\00:05:28.60
SO, WHEN THIS MAN PREACHED
IT WAS NOT HIS DRESS, IT WAS
00:05:28.60\00:05:34.10
NOT HIS CREDENTIALS, IT MIGHT
NOT HAVE EVEN BEEN HIS VOICE.
00:05:34.10\00:05:37.93
ALTHOUGH I UNDERSTAND
THAT IT WAS SOMETHING TO HEAR.
00:05:37.93\00:05:41.23
BUT WHEN HE SPOKE IT WAS WITH
CONVICTION AND IT WAS WITH THE
00:05:41.23\00:05:44.73
POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
00:05:44.73\00:05:47.76
AND THE PEOPLE WHO CAME
OUT FROM THE CITY LISTENED.
00:05:47.76\00:05:50.70
THEY WERE RIVETED TO HIS VOICE.
00:05:50.70\00:05:54.00
THEY LOOKED IN HIS EYES.
00:05:54.00\00:05:55.33
I READ LONG AGO THAT
WHEN SOMEBODY SPEAKS THEIR
00:05:55.33\00:05:58.23
EYES TELL ON THEM.
00:05:58.23\00:06:02.03
YOUR EYES TELL IN MILLISECONDS
WHETHER YOU THINK YOU'RE
00:06:02.03\00:06:06.13
TELLING THE TRUTH OR NOT.
00:06:06.13\00:06:08.86
YOUR EYES SAY WHETHER YOU
BELIEVE WHAT YOU SAY OR WHETHER
00:06:08.86\00:06:12.20
YOU DOUBT IT YOURSELF.
00:06:12.20\00:06:14.53
I BELIEVE IF YOU SPEAK FOR GOD,
GOD CONTROLS THE WAY YOUR EYES
00:06:14.53\00:06:18.30
REFLECT, AND YOUR EYES BECOME
A TESTIMONY OF THE POWER OF GOD.
00:06:18.30\00:06:23.76
SO WHEN THEY LOOKED IN
HIS EYES, WHEN THEY LISTENED,
00:06:23.76\00:06:29.63
THEY WERE SHAKEN TO THE CORE.
00:06:29.63\00:06:32.43
WELL, ACCORDING TO THE RECORD,
ONE DAY THE TETRARCH OF GALILEE,
00:06:32.43\00:06:39.03
THIS TERM SIMPLY MEANS THAT
HE WAS NOT REALLY A KING ON HIS
00:06:39.03\00:06:43.26
OWN RIGHT, BUT THE
ROMANS HAD GIVEN HIM HIS POWER.
00:06:43.26\00:06:46.70
THAT WAS A LITTLE SHADOW
OVER HIS POSITION, BUT HE
00:06:46.70\00:06:50.73
WAS STILL A POWERFUL
MAN, THIS HEROD ANTIPUS.
00:06:50.73\00:06:53.96
HE CAME OUT AND MADE THE
MISTAKE OF LISTENING FOR A
00:06:53.96\00:06:56.40
MOMENT TO JOHN THE BAPTIST.
00:06:56.40\00:07:00.10
HE PROBABLY PLANNED JUST TO
STAY THERE FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
00:07:00.10\00:07:04.26
WHEN DOES HE START ?
00:07:04.26\00:07:06.06
WELL, HE STARTS
WHENEVER HE WANTS TO.
00:07:06.06\00:07:09.26
WHERE DO YOU SIT ?
00:07:09.26\00:07:10.96
WELL, I DON'T KNOW WHERE
A MAN LIKE YOU WOULD SIT,
00:07:10.96\00:07:13.30
SIR, BECAUSE, AS YOU CAN
SEE, HE DOESN'T HAVE PEWS.
00:07:13.30\00:07:18.80
I USUALLY SIT ON
THIS STUMP RIGHT HERE.
00:07:18.80\00:07:20.60
WOULD YOU LIKE TO USE THAT ?
00:07:20.60\00:07:21.86
NO, IT'D BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME
TO SIT THERE--I'LL JUST STAND.
00:07:21.86\00:07:26.80
HOW LONG DOES HE PREACH ?
00:07:26.80\00:07:27.96
WELL, YOU CAN'T TELL.
00:07:27.96\00:07:29.66
SOMETIMES IT LONG,
SOMETIMES IT'S SHORT.
00:07:29.66\00:07:33.30
AND PEOPLE COME
OUT HERE ALL THE TIME ?
00:07:33.30\00:07:35.23
YOU SEE THEM.
00:07:35.23\00:07:36.53
AND THEY'LL BE LIKE
THIS UNTIL HE FINISHES.
00:07:36.53\00:07:39.76
SO HEROD STOPS AND LISTENS.
00:07:39.76\00:07:43.96
AND IN THE MIDDLE OF JOHN'S
SERMON, SOMETHING HAPPENS THAT
00:07:43.96\00:07:47.93
IS NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT.
00:07:47.93\00:07:53.80
JOHN SAID, YOU, YOU HEROD,
YOU SHOULD NOT BE MARRIED TO THE
00:07:53.80\00:08:01.50
WOMAN WHO YOU'RE LIVING WITH.
00:08:01.50\00:08:07.03
NOW, WHERE I LIVE
I KNOW THE REACTION.
00:08:07.03\00:08:09.00
I KNOW WHAT WOULD HAPPEN.
00:08:09.00\00:08:11.73
OHHHH.
00:08:11.73\00:08:14.86
BECAUSE YOU'RE WAITING
FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN.
00:08:14.86\00:08:17.50
YOU KNOW, THAT'S
TOO MUCH HOLY BOLDNESS.
00:08:17.50\00:08:20.96
BUT WHEN YOU'RE IN TOUCH WITH
GOD, YOU REALLY DON'T WORRY,
00:08:20.96\00:08:24.26
SO LONG AS YOU'RE SAYING
WHAT GOD TOLD YOU TO SAY.
00:08:24.26\00:08:28.06
BECAUSE IF GOD SAYS SAY
IT, GOD WILL PROTECT YOU.
00:08:28.06\00:08:31.66
AND IF HE ALLOWS YOU
TO DIE, YOU'LL RISE AGAIN.
00:08:31.66\00:08:34.56
SO THERE'S NOTHING TO FEAR
WHEN YOU'RE TELLING THE TRUTH.
00:08:34.56\00:08:39.90
I IMAGINE, IN FACT, I
READ ONE OF THOSE SCHOLARS WHO
00:08:39.90\00:08:43.46
LIKES TO COMMENT ON
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE BIBLE.
00:08:43.46\00:08:45.50
THEY SAID, SOMEBODY PERHAPS TOLD
JOHN THE BAPTIST, LOOK, FROM NOW
00:08:45.50\00:08:48.40
ON, YOU GOT BY WITH THAT ONE.
00:08:48.40\00:08:51.13
BUT FROM NOW ON, IF I
WERE YOU, I WOULD NOT GET SO
00:08:51.13\00:08:53.60
PERSONAL, PARTICULARLY
WITH POWERFUL PEOPLE.
00:08:53.60\00:08:57.13
DID YOU KNOW WHO THAT WAS ?
00:08:57.13\00:08:58.36
YES, I KNEW WHO IT WAS.
00:08:58.36\00:08:59.66
YOU SEE, WHAT JOHN
WOULD DO, HE WOULD LIVE IN THE
00:08:59.66\00:09:02.60
COUNTRY, BUT GO INTO THE
CITY TO SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
00:09:02.60\00:09:05.83
IT'S DIFFICULT TO PREACH
ABOUT WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW, BUT
00:09:05.83\00:09:08.66
YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE SOME PLACE
TO TALK WITH GOD BECAUSE YOUR
00:09:08.66\00:09:12.40
POWER DOES NOT COME WITH
KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM.
00:09:12.40\00:09:16.33
POWER COMES WITH A PERSONAL
CONTACT WITH A POWERFUL BEING.
00:09:16.33\00:09:22.93
SO YOU CAN'T JUST
KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
00:09:22.93\00:09:25.26
KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING
DOES NOT GIVE YOU POWER.
00:09:25.26\00:09:27.93
EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON.
00:09:27.93\00:09:30.56
BUT IT TAKES SOMEBODY WHO CAN
SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING AND RETREAT
00:09:30.56\00:09:34.60
TO WHERE HE LIVES, AND HAVE
A LITTLE TALK WITH GOD, AND GET
00:09:34.60\00:09:40.40
THE POWER BUILT UP, AND GET
THE POINT PUT ON THE MESSAGE.
00:09:40.40\00:09:45.13
THEN YOU GO AND PREACH ABOUT IT.
00:09:45.13\00:09:47.13
SO SOMEONE MAY HAVE TOLD HIM,
LOOK, WE LOVE YOUR PREACHING.
00:09:47.13\00:09:51.30
IN FACT, IF YOU WERE UP FOR
ELECTION, I WOULD VOTE FOR YOU.
00:09:51.30\00:09:57.63
BUT WE WANT YOU TO
LIVE UNTIL AN ELECTION.
00:09:57.63\00:10:01.70
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
MAKE IT TALKING LIKE THIS.
00:10:01.70\00:10:03.96
NOT TO HEROD.
00:10:03.96\00:10:05.66
AND WHAT WOULD JOHN
THE BAPTIST HAVE SAID.
00:10:05.66\00:10:08.00
I DARE TO IMAGINE.
00:10:08.00\00:10:09.96
BUT I'LL TELL YOU
THIS, HE DID NOT STOP SAYING
00:10:09.96\00:10:13.23
WHAT HE WAS SAYING.
00:10:13.23\00:10:14.30
HERE IS THE FACT.
00:10:14.30\00:10:16.60
THIS HEROD WAS AN AMAZING MAN.
00:10:16.60\00:10:19.36
HE HAD BEEN MARRIED TO THE
DAUGHTER OF THE KING OF ARABIA.
00:10:19.36\00:10:24.70
NOW, LET'S TALK FOR A MINUTE.
00:10:24.70\00:10:26.30
LET'S GET REAL.
00:10:26.30\00:10:28.20
WHEN YOU MARRY THE
DAUGHTER OF A KING, YOU MUST BE
00:10:28.20\00:10:30.23
CAREFUL HOW YOU TREAT HER.
00:10:30.23\00:10:36.20
WELL, WHEN YOU MARRY ANYBODY'S
DAUGHTER. . .YOU NEED TO BE
00:10:36.20\00:10:41.06
CAREFUL HOW YOU TREAT HER,
BECAUSE WHO HER FATHER IS ON
00:10:41.06\00:10:46.16
EARTH IS NOT SO IMPORTANT
AS WHO HER FATHER IS IN HEAVEN.
00:10:46.16\00:10:50.70
AND WHEN YOU MARRY A CHILD OF
THE KING, YOU'D BETTER KNOW THAT
00:10:50.70\00:10:53.30
THERE IS SOMEBODY WATCHING OVER
YOU, HOW YOU TREAT THAT CHILD.
00:10:53.30\00:10:57.50
ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME ?
00:10:57.50\00:10:59.40
BUT, HEROD MARRIES THE DAUGHTER
OF THE KING OF ARABIA, THEN PUTS
00:10:59.40\00:11:04.50
HER AWAY WHEN HE FINDS HERODIUS.
00:11:04.50\00:11:08.83
SO, HE HAD TWO LIVING WIVES.
00:11:08.83\00:11:14.60
DO YOU SEE IT ?
00:11:14.60\00:11:16.00
IF YOU GET TOO QUIET,
YOU'LL MAKE ME WONDER ABOUT YOU.
00:11:16.00\00:11:19.16
HERODIUS HAD
PREVIOUSLY MARRIED PHILIP, HER
00:11:19.16\00:11:23.20
FATHER'S HALF BROTHER.
00:11:23.20\00:11:27.20
NOW, SHE BECOMES THE
CONSORT OF HEROD ANTIPUS, WHO
00:11:27.20\00:11:32.00
IS HER HALF UNCLE.
00:11:32.00\00:11:35.06
AND YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD
STUFF ON THE DAYTIME SHOW.
00:11:35.06\00:11:41.03
THERE IS MORE
CHICANERY IN THE BIBLE THAN
00:11:41.03\00:11:43.20
ANYWHERE ON TELEVISION.
00:11:43.20\00:11:45.00
IF YOU WANT TO SEE
DRAMA, OPEN UP THE WORD OF GOD.
00:11:45.00\00:11:48.63
SO, HERE WAS THE SITUATION.
00:11:48.63\00:11:51.63
NOT ONLY DID HEROD HAVE
TWO LIVING WIVES, BUT HERODIUS
00:11:51.63\00:11:55.33
HAD TWO LIVING HUSBANDS.
00:11:55.33\00:11:57.03
AND, HEROD DIDN'T WAIT
UNTIL PHILIP HAD MOVED AWAY.
00:11:57.03\00:12:03.06
HE DIDN'T ALLOW A
DIVORCE TO HAPPEN.
00:12:03.06\00:12:07.26
HE DREW HERODIUS TO
HIM, EVEN THOUGH PHILIP AND
00:12:07.26\00:12:12.20
HERODIUS HAD A CHILD.
00:12:12.20\00:12:14.93
SO, HE BROKE UP THEIR HOME.
00:12:14.93\00:12:17.63
HE WAS A HOME WRECKER.
00:12:17.63\00:12:21.66
YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE TERM ?
00:12:21.66\00:12:24.76
SO YOU'VE GOT A MAN NOW WHO
IS DOING A LOT OF THINGS WRONG,
00:12:24.76\00:12:27.76
AND HIS WIFE WITH HIM.
00:12:27.76\00:12:29.33
BECAUSE THIS MAY SEEM
TILTED GENDER, BUT IT IS NOT.
00:12:29.33\00:12:34.13
YOU ARE GUILTY, BOTH OF YOU,
BECAUSE YOU'VE GOT TWO LIVING
00:12:34.13\00:12:37.30
SPOUSES, THERE'S A CHILD WHO
HAS BEEN PUT ASIDE, THERE'S A
00:12:37.30\00:12:40.80
FAMILY THAT'S BEEN TORN APART,
AND NOW THEY THINK THAT GOD
00:12:40.80\00:12:45.50
WILL SMILE ON THIS BECAUSE
THEY ARE RICH AND POWERFUL.
00:12:45.50\00:12:51.46
GOD COULD CARE LESS
HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE.
00:12:51.46\00:12:56.46
THE TRUTH IS THE TRUTH ANYHOW.
00:12:56.46\00:12:59.56
THE WORD OF GOD IS
LIKE A TWO-EDGED SWORD.
00:12:59.56\00:13:02.80
IT WILL CUT ANYBODY.
00:13:02.80\00:13:04.73
ALL YOU'VE GOT TO
DO IS GET CLOSE TO IT.
00:13:04.73\00:13:06.93
IN FACT, I HAVE PEOPLE
TELL ME ALL THE TIME, PASTOR,
00:13:06.93\00:13:09.36
THAT SERMON YOU PREACHED
REALLY STEPPED ON MY TOES.
00:13:09.36\00:13:14.00
I'LL SAY, WELL, WHAT DID
YOU THINK IT DID BEFORE I
00:13:14.00\00:13:15.73
PREACHED IT TO YOU, WHILE
I WAS GETTING READY FOR IT ?
00:13:15.73\00:13:20.10
IT DOESN'T CARE WHO IT
IS THAT HANDLES THE WORDS.
00:13:20.10\00:13:24.50
THE WORD WILL
DECLARE THE TRUTH TO ANYBODY.
00:13:24.50\00:13:27.83
SO THE WORD IS CLEAR.
00:13:27.83\00:13:29.96
YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO
EXEMPT YOURSELF FROM THE TRUTH.
00:13:29.96\00:13:34.96
SO, WHEN JOHN THE BAPTIST
PREACHED, HE MADE IT PERSONAL,
00:13:34.96\00:13:38.56
AND HE SAID IT OUT LOUD.
00:13:38.56\00:13:40.83
IN FACT, ONE OF MY FAVORITE
WRITERS SAYS THAT BEFORE HEROD
00:13:40.83\00:13:45.70
ANTIPUS MARRIED HERODIUS,
THE WORD CAME TO HIM, YOU
00:13:45.70\00:13:50.66
BETTER NOT MARRY HER.
00:13:50.66\00:13:53.13
AND IT CAME FROM
JOHN THE BAPTIST.
00:13:53.13\00:13:55.90
WHEN HERODIUS HEARD ABOUT
IT, AND I TRY TO SURMISE ABOUT
00:13:55.90\00:13:59.00
THE PERSONALITY OF HERODIUS.
00:13:59.00\00:14:01.53
SHE SEEMED A VERY STRONG WOMAN.
00:14:01.53\00:14:05.80
SHE HEARD THAT JOHN THE
BAPTIST SAID THEY SHOULDN'T GET
00:14:05.80\00:14:08.63
MARRIED AND SHE
STARTED TALKING TO HEROD.
00:14:08.63\00:14:11.86
FORGIVE ME, I'M GOING
TO GIVE HER A VOICE THAT'S
00:14:11.86\00:14:14.36
ONE THAT I KNOW FROM THE
NEIGHBORHOOD WHERE I GREW UP.
00:14:14.36\00:14:19.13
SO YOU SAY WE'RE NOT GOING
TO GET MARRIED BECAUSE YOU WENT
00:14:19.13\00:14:24.00
OUT AND HEARD SOME
STRANGE DRESSED PREACHER ?
00:14:24.00\00:14:27.66
AND HE SAYS THAT
YOU SHOULDN'T MARRY ME ?
00:14:27.66\00:14:31.46
AND YOU'RE GOING TO DISAPPOINT
ME BECAUSE OF SOMEBODY
00:14:31.46\00:14:33.93
WHO EATS WILD HONEY ?
00:14:33.93\00:14:37.73
DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, MAN ?
00:14:37.73\00:14:40.46
YOU'RE THE KING.
00:14:40.46\00:14:42.33
YOU CAN'T LET SOME
STRANGE LOOKING PREACHER TELL
00:14:42.33\00:14:44.86
YOU WHAT TO DO.
00:14:44.86\00:14:46.46
DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM ?
00:14:46.46\00:14:48.33
I'M NO ORDINARY WOMAN.
00:14:48.33\00:14:49.70
YOU DON'T PLAY
WITH MY AFFECTIONS.
00:14:49.70\00:14:52.80
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING,
YOU'D BETTER STAY AWAY
00:14:52.80\00:14:54.50
FROM THAT PREACHER.
00:14:54.50\00:14:56.46
COME IN HER TALKING
THIS FOOLISHNESS THAT
00:14:56.46\00:14:58.36
YOU'RE TALKING NOW.
00:14:58.36\00:14:59.43
OH, WE'RE GOING TO GET MARRIED.
00:14:59.43\00:15:00.73
THIS IS GOING TO BE A HOME.
00:15:00.73\00:15:06.50
ARE WE OKAY WITH THAT ?
00:15:06.50\00:15:14.86
HEROD TRIED AS BEST
HE COULD TO FORGET WHAT
00:15:14.86\00:15:20.63
JOHN THE BAPTIST SAID.
00:15:20.63\00:15:22.16
BUT FOLKS, I'M GOING TO
TELL YOU SOMETHING AND YOU
00:15:22.16\00:15:24.10
REALLY NEED TO HEAR ME NOW.
00:15:24.10\00:15:26.00
ONCE YOU KNOW THE TRUTH, THERE'S
NOWHERE YOU CAN GO WHERE THE
00:15:26.00\00:15:32.83
TRUTH WILL NOT FIND YOU.
00:15:32.83\00:15:35.90
YOU CAN GO TO THE END OF
THE EARTH, BUT ONCE TRUTH IS IN
00:15:35.90\00:15:41.73
YOUR MIND AND IN YOUR HEART,
IT REPEATS AND REPEATS, AND
00:15:41.73\00:15:48.90
IT REPEATS FOR A REASON.
00:15:48.90\00:15:50.56
GOD SAID, I'M NOT WILLING THAT
ANY SHALL PERISH, BUT THAT ALL
00:15:50.56\00:15:53.93
SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE.
00:15:53.93\00:15:55.76
SO, THE ONE WHO CAUSES
IT TO REPLAY IN YOUR HEAD IS
00:15:55.76\00:15:59.73
THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU.
00:15:59.73\00:16:01.80
JESUS LOVES YOU AND WILL
NOT LET THE TRUTH LET YOU ALONE.
00:16:01.80\00:16:07.06
SO SOMETIMES YOU'LL
WAKE UP IN A COLD SWEAT.
00:16:07.06\00:16:11.83
AND IT MAY BE SOME
STRANGE PREACHER YOU SEE.
00:16:11.83\00:16:15.00
IT COULD EVEN BE ME.
00:16:15.00\00:16:18.00
BUT YOU'LL SEE SOME PREACHER
AND YOU'LL HEAR THE WORDS.
00:16:18.00\00:16:21.46
BUT THEY WILL BE WORDS
THAT ARE WAY MORE POWERFUL THAN
00:16:21.46\00:16:24.13
A HUMAN BEING COULD SPEAK.
00:16:24.13\00:16:25.93
THEY WILL BE WORDS
THAT ARE REPEATED BY THE
00:16:25.93\00:16:28.43
POWER OF THE SPIRIT.
00:16:28.43\00:16:30.60
SO, HEROD HAD A PROBLEM.
00:16:30.60\00:16:32.93
HE'S GOT THIS WOMAN HE
CAN'T RESIST, AND HE'S SEEN THIS
00:16:32.93\00:16:38.60
PROPHET WHOSE WORDS
WON'T LEAVE HIM ALONE.
00:16:38.60\00:16:42.30
SO HE WAS TORMENTED
EVERY TIME HE SAW HER.
00:16:42.30\00:16:45.43
IN FACT, THEY SAY THAT
ONE TIME HEROD WENT AGAIN
00:16:45.43\00:16:49.96
TO HEAR THE PREACHER.
00:16:49.96\00:16:50.73
THESE ARE ALL SCHOLARS
TRYING TO PULL WHAT THEY
00:16:50.73\00:16:54.06
CAN FROM SCRIPTURE.
00:16:54.06\00:16:56.13
AND THIS TIME WHEN HE
CAME BACK, HE WAS DETERMINED.
00:16:56.13\00:16:59.10
SO HE MADE UP HIS MIND.
00:16:59.10\00:17:00.23
YOU KNOW HOW IT IS WHEN
YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY HOME,
00:17:00.23\00:17:01.93
MAKING UP YOUR MIND.
00:17:01.93\00:17:02.76
I'M GOING TO TELL HER.
00:17:02.76\00:17:03.60
I'M GOING TO START OFF.
00:17:03.60\00:17:04.56
I'M NOT GOING TO
LET ANY TIME LAPSE.
00:17:04.56\00:17:06.16
AS SOON AS I WALK IN
THE DOOR, I'M JUST GOING
00:17:06.16\00:17:08.56
TO START IMMEDIATELY.
00:17:08.56\00:17:11.33
SHE WILL NOT
CHANGE MY MIND THIS TIME.
00:17:11.33\00:17:14.33
IN FACT, I WON'T
EVEN LET HER SPEAK.
00:17:14.33\00:17:16.13
I'M GOING TO STEP
IN THE DOOR TALKING.
00:17:16.13\00:17:19.90
AND BEFORE SHE CAN GET A
WORD IN, I WILL HAVE TOLD HER.
00:17:19.90\00:17:23.26
SO, GENTLEMEN, WHEN YOU
OPEN THE DOOR, WAIT UNTIL I GET
00:17:23.26\00:17:25.76
THERE AND THEN SPRING
BACK THE CURTAINS AND I'LL POP
00:17:25.76\00:17:29.63
IN AND START TALKING.
00:17:29.63\00:17:31.66
AND HE GOES IN AND HE
SAYS, LOOK, NOW YOU BE QUIET.
00:17:31.66\00:17:35.50
I'M GOING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
00:17:35.50\00:17:37.13
WE ARE NOT GOING
TO STAY TOGETHER.
00:17:37.13\00:17:40.30
THE PROPHET IS RIGHT, WE CANNOT,
WE CANNOT REMAIN TOGETHER.
00:17:40.30\00:17:45.73
SO THIS IS OVER.
00:17:45.73\00:17:47.70
I'LL FIND YOU SOMEWHERE.
00:17:47.70\00:17:49.56
I'LL GET YOU A PLACE TO LIVE.
00:17:49.56\00:17:51.33
YOU'LL DO OKAY.
00:17:51.33\00:17:52.26
I CAN SUPPORT YOU IN THE
LIFESTYLE TO WHICH YOU'VE
00:17:52.26\00:17:55.06
BECOME ACCUSTOMED.
00:17:55.06\00:17:56.83
BUT I WILL NOT DISOBEY THE VOICE
OF GOD THROUGH THAT PROPHET.
00:17:56.83\00:18:03.63
SO WHAT DOES SHE SAY ?
00:18:03.63\00:18:05.40
HONEY, COME OVER
HERE AND SIT DOWN.
00:18:05.40\00:18:11.90
YOU'RE TIRED.
00:18:11.90\00:18:15.20
I CAN TELL YOU'RE TIRED.
00:18:15.20\00:18:16.43
SEE THAT MUSCLE RIGHT THERE ?
00:18:16.43\00:18:17.60
SIT DOWN, SIT DOWN.
00:18:17.60\00:18:18.26
FEEL THAT ?
00:18:18.26\00:18:21.16
THERE IT IS RIGHT THERE.
00:18:21.16\00:18:23.16
SEE ALL THAT TALK YOU
WERE DOING, YOU'RE JUST TENSE.
00:18:23.16\00:18:29.80
THAT'S ALL IT IS.
00:18:29.80\00:18:32.10
DO YOU FEEL THAT ?
00:18:32.10\00:18:34.83
SEE RIGHT THERE ?
00:18:34.83\00:18:37.20
THAT'S ALL IT IS.
00:18:37.20\00:18:38.70
SEE ALL THAT, NOW DON'T YOU FEEL
SILLY SAYING ALL THAT STUFF YOU
00:18:38.70\00:18:40.73
WERE SAYING WHEN YOU CAME IN ?
00:18:40.73\00:18:41.66
BECAUSE THERE IT IS RIGHT THERE.
00:18:41.66\00:18:42.63
NOW THAT THING HAS
KIND OF SMOOTHED OUT.
00:18:42.63\00:18:44.40
NOW WHAT WAS
THAT YOU WERE SAYING ?
00:18:44.40\00:18:47.56
WHAT WAS THAT
YOU WERE TELLING ME ?
00:18:47.56\00:18:49.40
YOU WERE SAYING SOMETHING.
00:18:49.40\00:18:51.93
WEREN'T YOU SAYING SOMETHING
ABOUT WE WERE NOT GOING
00:18:51.93\00:18:53.66
TO BE TOGETHER ?
00:18:53.66\00:18:54.80
LET ME GET THIS PART
OF YOUR NECK RIGHT HERE.
00:18:54.80\00:18:58.66
IT'S TIGHT, TIGHT,
TIGHT IN YOUR NECK.
00:18:58.66\00:19:02.23
NOW STAND UP AND TELL ME.
00:19:02.23\00:19:04.93
TELL ME, COME ON, TELL ME.
00:19:04.93\00:19:11.13
YOU'D BETTER WATCH OUT
WHO YOU HOOK YOURSELF UP WITH.
00:19:11.13\00:19:16.13
AND I WANT TO SAY
THIS WITH ALL THE KINDNESS
00:19:16.13\00:19:20.20
I CAN GET IN MY TONGUE.
00:19:20.20\00:19:24.40
WHEN IT COMES TO GOD'S
WILL, BEING AGAINST ANYBODY
00:19:24.40\00:19:27.53
ELSE'S WILL, YOU'VE
GOT TO CUT THAT PERSON OFF.
00:19:27.53\00:19:35.56
THEY CANNOT OFFER
YOU WHAT GOD OFFERS YOU.
00:19:35.56\00:19:39.03
IN FACT, THE TRUTH BE
TOLD, HEROD WAS NEVER HAPPY WITH
00:19:39.03\00:19:45.20
THAT WOMAN, BECAUSE FROM
THE TIME HE HEARD THE TRUTH AND
00:19:45.20\00:19:49.50
CONTINUED TO RESIST
IT, HIS LIFE WAS MISERABLE.
00:19:49.50\00:19:53.30
LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING, FOLKS.
00:19:53.30\00:19:55.40
YOU'VE HEARD ME
PREACH ABOUT REAL MARRIAGE.
00:19:55.40\00:19:57.86
IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY,
YOU GET THE RIGHT SPOUSE,
00:19:57.86\00:20:02.80
ONE THAT GOD CAN BLESS.
00:20:02.80\00:20:06.03
YOU GET THE RIGHT MARRIAGE.
00:20:06.03\00:20:08.00
IT'LL BE SO WONDERFUL YOU
CAN'T EVEN THINK OF PROBLEMS.
00:20:08.00\00:20:10.63
YOU'LL COME HOME AND TRY TO
REMEMBER WHAT YOU WERE UPSET
00:20:10.63\00:20:13.16
ABOUT ON THE WAY HOME.
00:20:13.16\00:20:14.66
BUT IF GOD BLESSES
YOUR RELATIONSHIP, IT WON'T
00:20:14.66\00:20:17.26
EVEN COME BACK TO YOUR MIND.
00:20:17.26\00:20:18.93
BUT THAT'S WHEN GOD
HAS GOT HIS HAND ON YOU.
00:20:18.93\00:20:21.46
WHEN YOU ARE IN A SITUATION
THAT GOD CANNOT APPROVE OF,
00:20:21.46\00:20:24.50
YOU WILL NEVER BE HAPPY.
00:20:24.50\00:20:27.46
HEROD IS THE
TETRARCH OF GALILEE.
00:20:27.46\00:20:30.76
HE'S GOT ALL THE POWER THAT
HE CAN IMAGINE, AND YET HE'S NOT
00:20:30.76\00:20:34.36
HAPPY BECAUSE HE'S WITH A WOMAN
WHO WON'T ALLOW HIM TO OBEY GOD.
00:20:34.36\00:20:40.50
WELL, HERODIUS WAS
ALSO A RESOURCEFUL WOMAN.
00:20:40.50\00:20:44.86
SHE SAID, HOW CAN I
GET RID OF THIS MAN.
00:20:44.86\00:20:50.10
BECAUSE IT'S NOT ANYTHING ABOUT
GOD, IT'S JUST THAT PREACHER.
00:20:50.10\00:20:55.23
SO SHE KEPT AFTER
HEROD, AND AFTER HIM.
00:20:55.23\00:20:59.10
SHE SAID, YOU KNOW SOMETHING,
HE'S OUT THERE TALKING
00:20:59.10\00:21:02.53
ABOUT YOU IN THE WOODS.
00:21:02.53\00:21:06.30
I'M SERIOUS.
00:21:06.30\00:21:07.33
EVERYWHERE I GO, ALL MY FRIENDS,
THEY ASK ME, IF YOUR HUSBAND WAS
00:21:07.33\00:21:13.56
A REAL MAN, WOULD HE LET PEOPLE
TALK ABOUT YOU IN THE WOODS ?
00:21:13.56\00:21:21.90
AND I KNOW WHO
THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.
00:21:21.90\00:21:24.13
I'M EMBARRASSED.
00:21:24.13\00:21:25.43
I TRIED TO DEFEND YOU.
00:21:25.43\00:21:27.43
BUT I'M GOING TO
TELL YOU SOMETHING.
00:21:27.43\00:21:29.13
HEROD, EITHER YOU'RE
GOING TO BE A MAN OR NOT.
00:21:29.13\00:21:32.40
YOU GOING TO LET THAT PREACHER
BE OUT THERE TALKING ABOUT US ?
00:21:32.40\00:21:35.80
YOU KNOW, YOU
NEED TO LOCK HIM UP.
00:21:35.80\00:21:39.46
BECAUSE IF YOU
LOCK HIM UP, HE CAN TALK
00:21:39.46\00:21:41.76
BUT NOBODY WILL HEAR HIM.
00:21:41.76\00:21:44.53
AND SHE KEPT ON HARPING ON HIM.
00:21:44.53\00:21:47.20
YOU KNOW, THERE ARE
PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO DO THAT.
00:21:47.20\00:21:49.16
IF YOU'RE MARRIED TO
ONE OF THEM, YOU'VE GOT TO
00:21:49.16\00:21:51.03
SIT HERE RIGHT NOW AND
NOT LET YOUR FACE CHANGE.
00:21:51.03\00:22:01.10
I CHALLENGE YOU.
00:22:01.10\00:22:02.06
DON'T LET A MUSCLE TWITCH.
00:22:02.06\00:22:06.80
BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO WILL
MAKE YOUR LIFE MISERABLE UNTIL
00:22:06.80\00:22:09.00
YOU DO WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO DO.
00:22:09.00\00:22:12.50
ONE DAY HEROD SAID,
HEY, HEY, HEY, LOCK HIM UP.
00:22:12.50\00:22:15.96
LOCK HIM UP.
00:22:15.96\00:22:18.20
TELL SOMEBODY,
QUIET, LOOK, WE'RE NOT GOING
00:22:18.20\00:22:20.50
TO DO ANYTHING TO HIM.
00:22:20.50\00:22:21.43
PUT HIM IN A NICE PLACE.
00:22:21.43\00:22:22.23
TRY TO GET HIM AS COMFORTABLE
AS YOU CAN, BECAUSE HE'S A MAN
00:22:22.23\00:22:24.23
OF GOD, HE SPEAKS THE TRUTH.
00:22:24.23\00:22:26.60
BUT I, YOU KNOW, I'VE
GOT SOME ISSUES, IF YOU
00:22:26.60\00:22:30.16
UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN.
00:22:30.16\00:22:31.53
SO, LOCK HIM UP.
00:22:31.53\00:22:32.93
NOW, LISTEN.
00:22:32.93\00:22:34.76
I'VE GOT A RULE FOR YOU.
00:22:34.76\00:22:36.33
I DON'T THINK THIS IS IN THE
BIBLE AS I'M ABOUT TO SAY IT,
00:22:36.33\00:22:40.96
BUT IF SOMEBODY LEARNS
THAT THEY CAN CONTROL YOUR WILL
00:22:40.96\00:22:45.03
AND MAKE YOU GO AGAINST
YOUR GOD, YOU ARE IN TROUBLE.
00:22:45.03\00:22:50.36
BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT
FINISHED; THEY'RE JUST STARTING.
00:22:50.36\00:22:53.76
OH BOY, I'LL TELL YOU.
00:22:53.76\00:22:55.73
THE FOLKS WHO NEED TO
HEAR THIS THE MOST ARE
00:22:55.73\00:22:58.36
LOCKED N IN A POSE.
00:22:58.36\00:23:01.53
YOU CAN'T MOVE.
00:23:01.53\00:23:03.46
BUT THE FACT IS THAT NOBODY CAN
EVER THINK THAT THEY HAVE MORE
00:23:03.46\00:23:06.76
INFLUENCE ON YOU THAN YOUR GOD.
00:23:06.76\00:23:10.93
NEVER.
00:23:10.93\00:23:13.13
I GOT TO GET THIS IN.
00:23:13.13\00:23:15.86
IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU SHOULD
BE BAPTIZED TOMORROW, AND YOUR
00:23:15.86\00:23:23.33
SPOUSE OR YOUR MOTHER OR YOUR
DAD OR YOUR SON OR YOUR DAUGHTER
00:23:23.33\00:23:32.53
OR ANYBODY THINKS THAT THEY
CAN STOP YOU FROM DOING WHAT
00:23:32.53\00:23:36.43
IS RIGHT, AND YOU KNOW IT'S
RIGHT, YOU HAD BETTER LEARN THAT
00:23:36.43\00:23:41.03
YOU'VE GOT TO OBEY GOD NOW.
00:23:41.03\00:23:44.46
I'VE HEARD PEOPLE SAY,
WELL, I WANT TO WAIT UNTIL THEY
00:23:44.46\00:23:46.26
CAN DO IT WITH ME.
00:23:46.26\00:23:49.36
YOU NEED TO BE AN EXAMPLE,
LEAD BY EXAMPLE, AND NOT
00:23:49.36\00:23:54.33
WAIT FOR EVERYBODY
TO COME ALONG WITH YOU.
00:23:54.33\00:23:56.96
THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE
WHO WILL NEVER COME ALONG, SO
00:23:56.96\00:23:59.96
YOU'VE GOT TO DO
WHAT'S RIGHT WHEN IT'S RIGHT.
00:23:59.96\00:24:03.43
YOU DON'T HAVE TOMORROW.
00:24:03.43\00:24:05.33
ALL YOU'VE GOT IS NOW.
00:24:05.33\00:24:07.90
SO, WHEN GOD CALLS YOU,
YOU'VE GOT TO ANSWER NOW.
00:24:07.90\00:24:14.96
YOU MAY NOT BE ALIVE TOMORROW.
00:24:14.96\00:24:18.46
SO WATCH HEROD NOW.
00:24:18.46\00:24:20.73
SHE SAID, YOU KNOW
WHAT I'M GOING TO DO ?
00:24:20.73\00:24:22.53
I'M GOING TO PLAN A
BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR THE KING.
00:24:22.53\00:24:27.43
SO SHE SENDS AND
INVITES ALL OF THE DIGNITARIES,
00:24:27.43\00:24:33.03
ALL OF THE PARTS OF
HIS KINGDOM ARE NOTIFIED.
00:24:33.03\00:24:35.56
AND EVERYONE WHO IS SOMEBODY
IS INVITED TO COME FOR THE
00:24:35.56\00:24:38.56
KING'S BIRTHDAY PARTY.
00:24:38.56\00:24:41.26
AND HERODIUS HAS A PLAN.
00:24:41.26\00:24:43.83
YOU SEE, SHE KNOWS ALREADY
THAT SHE HAS PUT A DENT IN
00:24:43.83\00:24:49.56
THE STYLE OF JOHN THE BAPTIST.
00:24:49.56\00:24:51.60
I CAN'T SPEND LONG ON THIS,
BUT I GOT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
00:24:51.60\00:24:54.86
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT
WHILE JOHN THE BAPTIST WAS IN
00:24:54.86\00:24:58.56
JAIL, HIS SITUATION
STARTED GETTING TO HIM.
00:24:58.56\00:25:03.66
LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT I
THINK ABOUT JOHN THE BAPTIST.
00:25:03.66\00:25:06.03
REMEMBER, HE LIVES IN THE OPEN.
00:25:06.03\00:25:09.76
HE SLEEPS IN THE OPEN.
00:25:09.76\00:25:12.46
HE PULLS HIS
BREAKFAST DOWN AND EATS.
00:25:12.46\00:25:16.40
YOU KNOW ?
00:25:16.40\00:25:17.13
HE SLEEPS OUT THERE.
00:25:17.13\00:25:18.23
HE IS AN OUTSIDE INDIVIDUAL.
00:25:18.23\00:25:21.53
HE'S A RUGGED INDIVIDUALIST.
00:25:21.53\00:25:25.16
AND THE DEVIL KNOWS HOW
TO WATCH YOU AND FIND OUT
00:25:25.16\00:25:29.56
WHERE YOUR WEAKNESS IS.
00:25:29.56\00:25:32.26
STICK WITH ME.
00:25:32.26\00:25:34.13
SO, IF WHAT YOU LOVE IS
PLENTY OF ROOM, DEVIL WILL
00:25:34.13\00:25:38.83
SAY, YOU KNOW SOMETHING,
I'M GOING TO LOCK HIM UP.
00:25:38.83\00:25:43.13
I'LL PUT HIM IN A CELL.
00:25:43.13\00:25:45.20
HE'S SO POWERFUL OUTSIDE,
LET'S SEE HOW HE OPERATES
00:25:45.20\00:25:49.50
IN AN ENCLOSED SPACE.
00:25:49.50\00:25:53.00
SO, JOHN THE BAPTIST, WHO
WAS ALWAYS FREE, NEVER LIVED IN
00:25:53.00\00:25:57.13
TOWN, NEVER HAD WALLS AROUND
HIM, FINDS HIMSELF IN A CELL.
00:25:57.13\00:26:04.16
