Hi, and welcome
to HIS WORDS ARE LIFE
00:00:16.47\00:00:18.76
I'm Kelly Mowrer,
and I'll be reading today
00:00:18.79\00:00:21.09
from the King James Version.
You know when Jesus time
00:00:21.12\00:00:25.14
with his disciples was coming to
a close, one of the last things
00:00:25.17\00:00:28.81
that he told them was,
heaven and earth will pass away,
00:00:28.84\00:00:31.88
but my words will never
pass away, and today we can
00:00:31.91\00:00:35.33
come to the very Word of
God, that stands sure and firm,
00:00:35.36\00:00:39.05
throughout all time and
beyond time, and we can read it
00:00:39.08\00:00:42.25
and be blessed by it, but
before we read, let's go to Him
00:00:42.28\00:00:45.25
in prayer. O Holy Father, thank
you so much for this opportunity
00:00:45.28\00:00:50.85
to put aside the different
things that we all have
00:00:50.88\00:00:54.12
in our lives right
now, and come into your
00:00:54.15\00:00:56.87
presence and hear
your words, words that
00:00:56.91\00:00:59.87
will stand forever, when
everything else is ended,
00:00:59.90\00:01:02.81
and passed away,
your word stands firm.
00:01:02.84\00:01:05.97
Thank you for this gift,
bless us now as we read, give
00:01:06.00\00:01:09.59
us understanding. We
ask in Jesus name. Amen.
00:01:09.62\00:01:13.85
Again, I am reading from the
King James version, the book of
00:01:13.88\00:01:18.27
Matthew, chapter 26 and
beginning with verse 30.
00:01:18.30\00:01:21.92
And when they had sung an hymn,
they went out into the mount of
00:01:21.95\00:01:26.19
Olives. Then saith Jesus unto
them, All ye shall be offended
00:01:26.22\00:01:30.37
because of me this
night: for it is written,
00:01:30.40\00:01:33.09
I will smite the shepherd, and
the sheep of the flock shall be
00:01:33.12\00:01:36.67
scattered abroad. But after I
am risen again, I will go before
00:01:36.70\00:01:40.52
you into Galilee. Peter answered
and said unto him, Though all
00:01:40.55\00:01:45.91
men shall be
offended because of thee,
00:01:45.94\00:01:47.93
yet will I never be offended.
Jesus said unto him, Verily I
00:01:47.96\00:01:53.67
say unto thee, That this
night, before the cock crow,
00:01:53.70\00:01:57.40
thou shalt deny me
thrice. Peter said unto him,
00:01:57.43\00:02:01.60
Though I should die with
thee, yet will I not deny thee.
00:02:01.63\00:02:05.50
Likewise also said all the
disciples. Then cometh Jesus
00:02:05.53\00:02:10.46
with them unto a
place called Gethsemane,
00:02:10.49\00:02:12.97
and saith unto the disciples,
Sit ye here, while I go and pray
00:02:13.00\00:02:17.55
yonder. And he took with him
Peter and the 2 sons of Zebedee,
00:02:17.58\00:02:21.88
and began to be
sorrowful and very heavy.
00:02:21.91\00:02:24.93
Then saith he unto them, My
soul is exceeding sorrowful,
00:02:24.96\00:02:29.49
even unto death: tarry
ye here, and watch with me.
00:02:29.52\00:02:33.18
He went a little farther, and
fell on his face, and prayed,
00:02:33.21\00:02:37.53
saying, O my Father, if it
be possible, let this cup pass
00:02:37.56\00:02:41.61
from me: nevertheless not
as I will, but as thou wilt.
00:02:41.64\00:02:46.56
And he cometh unto the disciples
and findeth them asleep,
00:02:46.59\00:02:51.29
and saith unto Peter,
What, could ye not watch with me
00:02:51.32\00:02:55.30
one hour? Watch and pray, that
ye enter not into temptation:
00:02:55.33\00:02:59.52
the spirit indeed is
willing, but the flesh is weak.
00:02:59.55\00:03:03.32
He went away again the
second time, and prayed, saying,
00:03:03.35\00:03:07.95
O my Father, if this cup
may not pass away from me,
00:03:07.98\00:03:11.83
except I drink it, thy will be
done. And he came and found them
00:03:11.86\00:03:17.77
asleep again: for their eyes
were heavy. And he left them,
00:03:17.80\00:03:21.70
and went away again, and prayed
the third time, saying the same
00:03:21.73\00:03:25.23
words. Then cometh he to his
disciples, and saith unto them,
00:03:25.26\00:03:29.83
Sleep on now and take your rest,
behold, the hour is at hand,
00:03:29.86\00:03:35.06
and the Son of man is betrayed
into the hands of sinners.
00:03:35.09\00:03:38.77
Rise, let us be going: behold,
he is at hand that doth betray
00:03:38.80\00:03:45.12
me. And while he yet spake, lo,
Judas, one of the twelve, came
00:03:45.15\00:03:51.19
and with him a great multitude
with swords and staves,
00:03:51.22\00:03:54.45
from the chief priests
and elders of the people.
00:03:54.49\00:03:56.70
now he that betrayed him gave
them a sign, saying, whomsoever
00:03:56.73\00:04:01.94
I shall kiss, that same is
he: hold him fast. And forthwith
00:04:01.97\00:04:07.00
he came to Jesus, and said,
Hail Master; and kissed him.
00:04:07.03\00:04:10.64
And Jesus said unto him,
Friend wherefore art thou come?
00:04:10.67\00:04:16.22
Then came they, and laid
hands on Jesus, and took him.
00:04:16.25\00:04:20.30
And, behold, one of them which
were with Jesus stretched out
00:04:20.33\00:04:24.85
his hand, and drew his sword,
and struck a servant of the
00:04:24.88\00:04:27.77
high priest's and smote off his
ear. Then said Jesus unto him,
00:04:27.80\00:04:32.56
Put up again thy sword into his
place: for all they that take
00:04:32.59\00:04:37.41
the sword shall perish with
the sword. Thinkest thou that I
00:04:37.44\00:04:41.61
cannot now pray to my Father,
and he shall presently give me
00:04:41.64\00:04:45.53
more than twelve
legions of angels? But how then
00:04:45.56\00:04:49.37
shall the scriptures be
fulfilled, that thus it must be?
00:04:49.41\00:04:52.68
In that same hour, said Jesus to
the multitudes, Are ye come out
00:04:52.71\00:04:56.97
as against a thief with swords
and staves for to take me?
00:04:57.00\00:05:00.51
I sat daily with you teaching in
the temple and ye laid no hold
00:05:00.55\00:05:05.12
on me. But all this was
done, that the scriptures
00:05:05.31\00:05:09.00
of the prophets might
be fulfilled. Then all the
00:05:09.03\00:05:12.69
disciples forsook him, and fled.
00:05:12.72\00:05:15.16
And they that had laid
hold on Jesus led him away
00:05:15.19\00:05:20.00
to Caiaphas the high priest,
where the scribes and the elders
00:05:20.03\00:05:23.08
were assembled. But
Peter followed him afar off.
00:05:23.11\00:05:26.26
unto the high priest's palace,
and went in, and sat with the
00:05:26.29\00:05:29.91
servants, to see the end.
Now the priests, and the elders,
00:05:29.94\00:05:34.38
and all the council, sought
false witness against Jesus,
00:05:34.41\00:05:38.41
to put him to death; But found
none: yea, though many false
00:05:38.44\00:05:43.40
witnesses came, yet found
they none. At the last came two
00:05:43.43\00:05:48.65
false witnesses, and
said, This fellow said,
00:05:48.68\00:05:51.24
I am able to destroy the temple
of God, and to build it in three
00:05:51.27\00:05:54.39
days. And the high priest arose
and said unto him, Answerest
00:05:54.42\00:05:59.04
thou nothing? what is it which
these witness against thee?
00:05:59.07\00:06:02.39
But Jesus held his peace.
And the high priest answered
00:06:02.42\00:06:07.43
and said unto him, I
adjure thee by the living God,
00:06:07.46\00:06:10.04
that thou tell us whether thou
be the Christ, the Son of God.
00:06:10.07\00:06:13.59
Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast
said: nevertheless I say unto
00:06:13.62\00:06:20.08
you, Hereafter shall ye see the
Son of man sitting on the right
00:06:20.11\00:06:24.53
hand of power, and
coming in the clouds of heaven.
00:06:24.56\00:06:27.82
Then the high priest rent his
clothes, saying, He hath spoken
00:06:27.85\00:06:31.90
blasphemy; what further need
have we of witnesses? behold,
00:06:31.93\00:06:35.69
now ye have heard his blasphemy
What think ye? They answered
00:06:35.72\00:06:39.82
and said, He is guilty of death.
Then did they spit in his face,
00:06:39.85\00:06:45.30
and buffeted him; and others
smote him with the palms of
00:06:45.33\00:06:49.21
their hands, Saying, Prophesy
unto us, thou Christ, Who is he
00:06:49.24\00:06:52.74
that smote thee? Now
Peter sat without in the palace:
00:06:52.77\00:06:58.73
and a damsel came unto
him, saying, Thou also wast with
00:06:58.76\00:07:02.74
Jesus of Galilee. But he
denied before them all, saying,
00:07:02.77\00:07:06.64
I know not what thou
sayest. And when he was gone out
00:07:06.67\00:07:10.55
into the porch, another
maid saw him, and said unto them
00:07:10.58\00:07:13.34
that were there, This fellow
was also with Jesus of Nazareth.
00:07:13.37\00:07:16.49
And again he denied with an
oath, I do not know the man.
00:07:16.52\00:07:21.02
And after a while came unto him
they that stood by, and said to
00:07:21.05\00:07:24.87
Peter, Surely thou also
art one of them; for thy speech
00:07:24.90\00:07:27.84
bewrayeth thee. Then began he
to curse and to swear, saying,
00:07:27.87\00:07:32.00
I know not the man. And
immediately the cock crew.
00:07:32.03\00:07:36.19
And Peter remembered the word
of Jesus, which said unto him,
00:07:36.22\00:07:39.96
Before the cock crow, thou shalt
deny me thrice. And he went out,
00:07:39.99\00:07:44.61
and wept bitterly. Reading
from the book of Matthew,
00:07:44.64\00:07:48.67
chapter 27. When the morning
was come, all the chief priests
00:07:48.70\00:07:55.19
and elders of the people took
counsel against Jesus to put
00:07:55.22\00:07:58.98
him to death: And when they had
bound him, they led him away,
00:07:59.01\00:08:02.66
and delivered him to
Pontius Pilate the governor.
00:08:02.69\00:08:05.54
Then Judas, which had betrayed
him, when he saw that he was
00:08:05.57\00:08:09.85
condemned, repented himself, and
brought again the thirty pieces
00:08:09.88\00:08:14.32
of silver to the chief
priests and elders, Saying,
00:08:14.35\00:08:16.68
I have sinned in that I have
betrayed the innocent blood.
00:08:16.71\00:08:20.30
And they said, What is
that to us? see thou to that.
00:08:20.33\00:08:25.12
And he cast down the
pieces of silver in the temple,
00:08:25.15\00:08:28.69
and departed, and
went and hanged himself.
00:08:28.72\00:08:31.90
And the Chief priests took
the silver pieces, and said,
00:08:31.93\00:08:35.46
It is not lawful for to put
them into the treasury, because
00:08:35.49\00:08:39.26
it is the price of blood. And
they took counsel, and bought
00:08:39.29\00:08:42.63
with them the potter's field
to bury strangers in. Wherefore
00:08:42.66\00:08:47.57
that field was called, The
field of blood, unto this day.
00:08:47.60\00:08:51.03
Then was fulfilled that
which was spoken by Jeremy
00:08:51.06\00:08:55.62
the prophet,
saying, And they took
00:08:55.65\00:08:57.77
the thirty pieces of silver, the
price of him that was valued,
00:08:57.80\00:09:01.16
whom they of the
children of Israel did value;
00:09:01.19\00:09:04.29
and gave them for the potter's
field, as the Lord appointed me.
00:09:04.32\00:09:08.15
And Jesus stood before
the governor: and the governor
00:09:08.18\00:09:11.65
asked him, saying, Art thou the
king of the Jews? And Jesus said
00:09:11.68\00:09:16.14
unto him, Thou sayest.
And when he was accused
00:09:16.17\00:09:20.35
of the chief priests and
elders, he answered nothing.
00:09:20.38\00:09:23.52
Then said Pilate unto
him, Hearest thou not how many
00:09:23.55\00:09:28.12
things they witness against
thee? And he answered him
00:09:28.15\00:09:31.49
to never a word; insomuch that
the governor marveled greatly.
00:09:31.52\00:09:37.15
Now at that feast the governor
was wont to release unto the
00:09:37.18\00:09:41.52
people a prisoner, whom
they would. And they had then a
00:09:41.55\00:09:44.96
notable prisoner,
called Barabbas. Therefore
00:09:44.99\00:09:47.44
when they were gathered together
Pilate said unto them, Whom will
00:09:47.47\00:09:50.86
ye that I release unto
you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is
00:09:50.89\00:09:54.26
called Christ? For he knew that
for envy they had delivered him.
00:09:54.29\00:09:57.99
When he was set down on the
judgment seat, his wife sent
00:09:58.02\00:10:01.53
unto him, saying, Have thou
nothing to do with that just man
00:10:01.56\00:10:04.79
for I have suffered many things
this day in a dream because of
00:10:04.82\00:10:08.29
him. But the chief priests and
elders persuaded the multitude
00:10:08.32\00:10:12.76
that they should ask
Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
00:10:12.79\00:10:16.67
The governor answered and said
unto them, Whether of the twain
00:10:16.70\00:10:20.40
will ye that I release
unto you? They said Barabbas.
00:10:20.43\00:10:24.42
Pilate saith unto them,
What shall I do then with Jesus
00:10:24.45\00:10:28.34
which is called
Christ? They all say unto him,
00:10:28.37\00:10:31.12
Let him be crucified. And the
governor said, Why, what evil
00:10:31.15\00:10:35.43
hath he done? But they
cried out the more, saying,
00:10:35.46\00:10:38.38
Let him be crucified. When
Pilate saw that he could prevail
00:10:38.41\00:10:42.54
nothing, but that
rather a tumult was made,
00:10:42.57\00:10:45.44
he took water, and washed
his hands before the multitude,
00:10:45.47\00:10:49.04
saying, I am innocent of
the blood of this just person:
00:10:49.07\00:10:53.23
see ye to it. Then answered all
the people, and said, His blood
00:10:53.26\00:10:57.84
be on us, and on our children.
Then released he Barabbas
00:10:57.87\00:11:01.80
unto them: and when he had
scourged Jesus, he delivered
00:11:01.83\00:11:04.92
him to be crucified. Then the
soldiers of the governor took
00:11:04.95\00:11:10.33
Jesus into the common hall, and
gathered unto him the whole band
00:11:10.36\00:11:14.12
of soldiers. And they stripped
him, and put on him a scarlet
00:11:14.15\00:11:17.45
robe. And when they had platted
a crown of thorns, they put it
00:11:17.48\00:11:21.44
upon his head, and a reed in his
right hand: and they bowed the
00:11:21.47\00:11:24.94
knee before him, and mocked him
saying, Hail, King of the Jews.
00:11:24.97\00:11:28.27
And they spit upon him, and
took the reed, and smote him
00:11:28.30\00:11:31.90
on the head. And after
that they had mocked him,
00:11:31.93\00:11:34.99
the took the robe off from him,
and put his own raiment on him,
00:11:35.02\00:11:38.39
and led him away to crucify
him. And as they came out,
00:11:38.42\00:11:43.23
they found a man of
Cyrene, Simon by name:
00:11:43.26\00:11:46.34
him they compelled to bear his
cross. And when they were come
00:11:46.37\00:11:50.78
unto a place called Golgotha,
that is to say, a place of a
00:11:50.81\00:11:54.42
skull, they gave him vinegar
to drink mingled with gall:
00:11:54.45\00:11:58.23
and when he had tasted
thereof, he would not drink.
00:11:58.26\00:12:01.30
And they crucified him,
and parted his garments,
00:12:01.33\00:12:04.98
casting lots: that it might
be fulfilled which was spoken
00:12:05.01\00:12:08.70
by the prophet, They
parted my garments among them,
00:12:08.73\00:12:12.17
and upon my vesture did
they cast lots. And sitting down
00:12:12.20\00:12:17.01
they watched him there; and set
up over his head his accusation
00:12:17.04\00:12:21.82
written, THIS IS
JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
00:12:21.85\00:12:25.06
Then there were two thieves
crucified with him, one on the
00:12:25.09\00:12:29.77
right hand, and another on the
left. And they that passed by
00:12:29.80\00:12:33.94
reviled him, wagging
their heads, and saying, Thou
00:12:33.97\00:12:37.35
that destroyest the temple,
and buildest it in three days,
00:12:37.38\00:12:40.36
save thyself. If thou be the Son
of God, come down from the cross
00:12:40.39\00:12:44.18
Likewise also the chief priests
mocking him, with the scribes
00:12:44.21\00:12:48.75
and elders, said, He saved
others; himself he cannot save.
00:12:48.78\00:12:52.50
If he be the King of
Israel, let him now come down
00:12:52.53\00:12:55.79
from the cross, and we will
believe him. He trusted in God;
00:12:55.82\00:12:59.13
let him deliver him now, if
he will have him: for he said, I
00:12:59.16\00:13:03.03
am the Son of God. The thieves
also, which were crucified with
00:13:03.06\00:13:06.94
him cast the same in his
teeth. Now from the sixth hour
00:13:06.97\00:13:10.78
there was darkness over all
the land unto the ninth hour.
00:13:10.81\00:13:14.22
And about the ninth hour Jesus
cried with a loud voice, saying,
00:13:14.25\00:13:18.84
Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?
that is to say, My God, My God,
00:13:18.87\00:13:25.46
why hast thou forsaken me?
Some of them that stood there,
00:13:25.49\00:13:30.81
when the heard that, said,
This man calleth for Elias.
00:13:30.84\00:13:34.64
And straightway one of
them ran, and took a sponge,
00:13:34.67\00:13:37.94
and filled it with vinegar, and
put it on a reed, and gave him
00:13:37.97\00:13:40.32
to drink. The rest said,
Let be, let us see whether Elias
00:13:40.35\00:13:44.77
will come to save him.
Jesus, when he had cried again
00:13:44.80\00:13:49.00
with a loud voice, yielded
up the ghost. And, behold,
00:13:49.03\00:13:52.91
the veil of the temple was rent
in twain from the top to the
00:13:52.94\00:13:57.26
bottom; and the earth did
quake, and the rocks rent;
00:13:57.29\00:14:00.48
and the graves were opened;
and many bodies of the saints
00:14:00.51\00:14:04.23
which slept arose,
and came out of the graves
00:14:04.26\00:14:07.42
after his resurrection, and went
into the holy city, and appeared
00:14:07.45\00:14:10.95
unto many. Now when
the centurion and they that
00:14:10.98\00:14:15.39
were with him, watching
Jesus, saw the earthquake,
00:14:15.42\00:14:18.39
and those things that were done,
they feared greatly, saying,
00:14:18.42\00:14:23.33
Truly, this was the Son of God.
Until we come together again,
00:14:23.36\00:14:30.50
May the love that Jesus
showed upon the cross, keep you.
