Hi, and welcome to
His Words Are Life.
00:00:17.33\00:00:19.51
I'm Kelly Mowrer. I'm so
glad you're joining me today.
00:00:19.54\00:00:22.65
to read the word of God. I'll be
reading from the gospel of Luke,
00:00:22.68\00:00:26.26
in the King James
version. But before we read
00:00:26.29\00:00:28.39
Let's turn to God
in prayer together.
00:00:28.42\00:00:29.97
Dear heavenly Father, thank
you so much for your goodness
00:00:30.00\00:00:34.62
and mercy, for your kindness
to us and that we have come
00:00:34.65\00:00:38.42
together at this time to again
read your very word of life
00:00:38.45\00:00:42.00
to us. Please be with us as we
read, that we not only hear but
00:00:42.54\00:00:46.00
understand the love and
the kindness, the greatness
00:00:46.03\00:00:49.41
of who you are, revealed in
the Bible. We love you, Jesus.
00:00:49.44\00:00:53.32
Amen. - Again, I'm reading today
from the gospel of Luke, and
00:00:53.35\00:00:57.60
the King James version, chapter
22. When we were last together,
00:00:57.63\00:01:02.50
the story had begun of
Jesus preparing for Passover and
00:01:02.53\00:01:05.70
calling his disciples
and instructing them to
00:01:05.73\00:01:08.14
go into town and there they
would meet a man with a pitcher
00:01:08.17\00:01:11.16
of water and they
should follow him to his house.
00:01:11.19\00:01:13.17
Now, we'll pick up in verse
11. And ye shall say unto the
00:01:13.20\00:01:17.60
Goodman of the house,
The Master saith unto thee,
00:01:17.63\00:01:20.06
Where is the guestchamber,
where I shall eat the Passover
00:01:20.09\00:01:23.05
with my disciples? And he shall
shew you a large upper room
00:01:23.08\00:01:26.69
furnished: there make ready.
And they went, and found as
00:01:26.72\00:01:31.33
he had said unto them: and
they made ready the Passover.
00:01:31.36\00:01:33.93
And when the hour was come,
he sat down, and the 12 apostles
00:01:33.96\00:01:37.64
with him. And he said
unto them, With desire
00:01:37.67\00:01:41.64
I have desired to eat
this Passover with you
00:01:41.67\00:01:44.19
before I suffer:
For I say unto you,
00:01:44.23\00:01:47.35
I will not anymore eat
thereof, until it be fulfilled
00:01:47.38\00:01:49.82
in the kingdom of God. And he
took the cup, and gave thanks,
00:01:49.85\00:01:54.11
and said, Take this, and
divide it among yourselves:
00:01:54.14\00:01:58.09
For I say unto you, I will not
drink of the fruit of the vine,
00:01:58.12\00:02:01.79
until the kingdom of God
shall come. And he took bread,
00:02:01.82\00:02:06.21
and gave thanks, and brake
it, and gave unto them, saying,
00:02:06.24\00:02:09.86
This is my body which is given
for you: this do in remembrance
00:02:09.89\00:02:15.45
of me. Likewise also the cup
after supper, saying, This cup
00:02:15.48\00:02:20.08
is the new testament in my
blood which is shed for you.
00:02:20.11\00:02:23.39
But behold the hand of him that
betrayeth me is with me on the
00:02:23.42\00:02:27.60
table. And truly the Son of
man goeth, as it was determined:
00:02:27.63\00:02:31.91
but woe unto that man
by whom he is betrayed!
00:02:31.94\00:02:35.25
And they began to inquire among
themselves, which of them it was
00:02:35.28\00:02:39.92
that should do this thing. And
there was also a strife among
00:02:39.95\00:02:43.34
them, which of them should
be accounted the greatest.
00:02:43.37\00:02:46.33
And he said unto them,
The kings of the Gentiles
00:02:46.36\00:02:50.53
exercise lordship over them;
and they that exercise authority
00:02:50.56\00:02:54.77
upon them are
called benefactors.
00:02:54.80\00:02:56.32
But ye shall not be so: but
he that is greatest among you,
00:02:56.35\00:03:00.91
Let him be as the
younger; and he that is chief,
00:03:00.94\00:03:04.79
as he that doth serve.
For whether is greater,
00:03:04.82\00:03:08.79
He that sitteth at
meat, or he that serveth?
00:03:08.82\00:03:11.60
is not he that sitteth
at meat? but I am among you
00:03:11.63\00:03:14.97
as he that serveth. Ye are they
which have continued with me
00:03:15.00\00:03:20.23
in my temptations. And I
appoint unto you a kingdom,
00:03:20.26\00:03:23.69
as my Father hath
appointed unto me;
00:03:23.72\00:03:25.92
That ye may eat and drink
at my table in my kingdom,
00:03:25.95\00:03:29.94
and sit on thrones judging
the twelve tribes of Israel.
00:03:29.97\00:03:34.19
And the Lord said, Simon, Simon,
behold, Satan hath desired
00:03:34.22\00:03:39.80
to have you, that he
may sift you as wheat:
00:03:39.83\00:03:41.95
But I have prayed for
thee, that thy faith fail not.
00:03:41.98\00:03:46.29
And when thou art converted,
strengthen thy brethren.
00:03:46.32\00:03:49.82
And he saith unto him,
Lord, I am ready to go with thee
00:03:49.85\00:03:54.20
both into prison and to death.
And he said, I tell thee Peter,
00:03:54.23\00:03:58.54
The cock shall not crow
this day, before that thou shalt
00:03:58.57\00:04:02.12
thrice deny
that thou knowest me.
00:04:02.15\00:04:04.34
And he said unto them,
When I sent you without purse,
00:04:04.37\00:04:08.65
and scrip, and
shoes, lacked ye anything?
00:04:08.68\00:04:11.40
And they said,
Nothing. Then he said unto them,
00:04:11.43\00:04:15.58
But now, he that hath a purse,
let him take it, and likewise
00:04:15.61\00:04:19.74
his scrip; and he that hath no
sword, let him sell his garment
00:04:19.77\00:04:23.23
and buy one. For I say unto
you, that this that is written
00:04:23.26\00:04:27.32
must yet be accomplished
in me, And he was reckoned
00:04:27.35\00:04:30.88
among the transgressors:
for the things concerning
00:04:30.91\00:04:33.88
me have an end. And they said,
Lord, behold, here are 2 swords.
00:04:33.91\00:04:38.34
And he said unto
them, It is enough.
00:04:38.37\00:04:40.99
And he came out and went as he
was wont, to the mount of Olives
00:04:41.02\00:04:46.96
and his disciples
also followed him.
00:04:46.99\00:04:49.11
And when he was at the
place, he said unto them,
00:04:49.14\00:04:51.99
Pray that ye enter
not unto temptation.
00:04:52.02\00:04:55.31
And he was withdrawn from
them about a stone's cast,
00:04:55.34\00:04:58.63
and kneeled down,
and prayed, saying,
00:04:58.66\00:05:00.75
Father, if thou be willing,
remove this cup from me:
00:05:00.78\00:05:04.48
nevertheless not my
will, but thine be done.
00:05:04.51\00:05:09.27
And there appeared an
angel unto him from heaven,
00:05:09.30\00:05:12.25
strengthening
him. And being in agony
00:05:12.28\00:05:15.56
he prayed more earnestly:
and his sweat was as it were
00:05:15.59\00:05:20.16
great drips of blood
falling down to the ground.
00:05:20.19\00:05:23.21
And when he rose up from prayer,
and was come to his disciples,
00:05:23.24\00:05:27.12
he found them sleeping for
sorrow, And said unto them,
00:05:27.15\00:05:30.90
Why sleep ye? rise and pray,
lest ye enter into temptation.
00:05:30.93\00:05:35.91
And while he yet
spake, behold a multitude,
00:05:35.94\00:05:40.05
and he that was called
Judas, one of the twelve,
00:05:40.08\00:05:42.73
went before them, and drew
near unto Jesus to kiss him.
00:05:42.76\00:05:46.96
But Jesus said unto
him, Judas, betrayest thou
00:05:46.99\00:05:52.01
the Son of man with a kiss?
When they which were about him
00:05:52.04\00:05:56.66
saw what would follow, they said
unto him, Lord, shall we smite
00:05:56.69\00:05:59.90
with the sword? And one
of them smote the servant
00:05:59.93\00:06:02.27
of the high priest,
and cut off his right ear.
00:06:02.30\00:06:04.62
And Jesus answered and
said, Suffer ye thus far.
00:06:04.65\00:06:08.52
And he touched his
ear, and healed him.
00:06:08.55\00:06:11.32
Then Jesus said unto the
chief priests and captains
00:06:11.35\00:06:15.91
of the temple, and the
elders, which were come to him,
00:06:15.94\00:06:18.59
Be ye come out as against a
thief, with swords and staves?
00:06:18.62\00:06:23.36
When I was daily with you in
the temple, ye stretched forth
00:06:23.39\00:06:27.00
no hands against me.
but this is your hour,
00:06:27.03\00:06:30.55
and the power of darkness.
Then took they him and led him,
00:06:30.58\00:06:35.43
and brought him into
the high priest's house.
00:06:35.46\00:06:37.42
And Peter followed afar off.
And when they had kindled a fire
00:06:37.45\00:06:42.35
in the midst of the hall,
and were set down together,
00:06:42.38\00:06:45.14
Peter sat down among them.
But a certain maid beheld him
00:06:45.17\00:06:49.56
as he sat by the fire,
and earnestly looked upon him,
00:06:49.59\00:06:53.35
and said, This
man was also with him,
00:06:53.38\00:06:56.02
And he denied him,
saying, Woman, I know him not.
00:06:56.05\00:06:59.50
And after a little
while, another saw him,
00:06:59.53\00:07:03.23
and said, Thou art also of them.
And Peter said, Man, I am not.
00:07:03.26\00:07:07.33
And about the space of one
hour after another confidently
00:07:07.36\00:07:12.67
affirmed, saying, Of a truth
this fellow also was with him:
00:07:12.70\00:07:17.14
for he is a
Galilean. And Peter said,
00:07:17.17\00:07:20.31
Man, I know not what
thou sayest. And immediately,
00:07:20.34\00:07:24.51
while ye yet
spake, the cock crew.
00:07:24.54\00:07:27.72
And the Lord turned,
and looked upon Peter.
00:07:27.75\00:07:31.03
And Peter remembered the word
of the Lord, how he had said
00:07:31.06\00:07:34.70
unto him, Before the cock
crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
00:07:34.73\00:07:38.24
And Peter went
out, and wept bitterly.
00:07:38.27\00:07:41.26
And the men that held
Jesus mocked him, and smote him.
00:07:41.29\00:07:45.08
And when they had blindfolded
him, they struck him on the face
00:07:45.11\00:07:48.69
and asked him, saying, Prophecy,
who is it that smote thee?
00:07:48.72\00:07:53.63
And many other
things blasphemously spake
00:07:53.66\00:07:56.87
they against him. And
as soon as it was day,
00:07:56.90\00:07:59.87
the elders of the people and the
chief priests and the scribes
00:07:59.90\00:08:02.95
came together, and led him
into their council, saying,
00:08:02.98\00:08:05.71
Art thou the Christ? tell
us. And he said unto them,
00:08:05.74\00:08:09.50
If I tell you, ye will not
believe: And if I also ask you,
00:08:09.53\00:08:14.43
ye will not
answer me, nor let me go.
00:08:14.46\00:08:17.15
Hereafter shall the Son
of Man sit on the right hand
00:08:17.18\00:08:21.87
of the power of
God. Then said they all,
00:08:21.90\00:08:25.94
Art thou then the Son of
God? And he said unto them,
00:08:25.97\00:08:29.98
Ye say that I am. And
they said, What need we
00:08:30.01\00:08:34.31
any further witness?
for we ourselves have heard
00:08:34.34\00:08:36.94
of his own mouth. -
I'm reading from the gospel
00:08:36.97\00:08:41.16
of Luke, the King James version,
We are now beginning chapter 23.
00:08:41.19\00:08:45.59
And the whole multitude of them
arose, and led him unto Pilate.
00:08:45.62\00:08:50.62
And they began to accuse him,
saying, We found this fellow
00:08:50.65\00:08:53.79
perverting the nation,
and forbidding to give tribute
00:08:53.82\00:08:56.67
to Caesar, saying that
he himself is Christ a King.
00:08:56.70\00:08:59.81
And Pilate asked him, saying,
Art thou the King of the Jews?
00:08:59.84\00:09:03.69
And he answered him
and said, Thou sayest it.
00:09:03.72\00:09:07.56
Then said Pilate to the
chief priests and to the people,
00:09:07.59\00:09:11.69
I find no fault in this man.
And they were the more fierce,
00:09:11.72\00:09:17.42
saying, He stirreth up the
people teaching throughout all
00:09:17.45\00:09:20.49
Jewry, beginning from
Galilee to this place.
00:09:20.52\00:09:22.91
When Pilate heard of Galilee,
he asked whether the man
00:09:22.94\00:09:26.94
were a Galilean. And as soon
as he knew that he belonged unto
00:09:26.97\00:09:30.99
Herod's jurisdiction, he
sent him to Herod, who himself
00:09:31.02\00:09:34.52
also was at Jerusalem at that
time. And when Herod saw Jesus,
00:09:34.55\00:09:39.09
he was exceeding glad:
for he was desirous to see him
00:09:39.12\00:09:42.53
of a long season, because he
had heard many things of him;
00:09:42.56\00:09:45.46
And he hoped to have
seen some miracle done by him.
00:09:45.49\00:09:48.59
Then he questioned with him
in many words; but he answered
00:09:48.62\00:09:53.35
him nothing. And the
chief priests and scribes stood
00:09:53.38\00:09:57.63
and vehemently accused him.
And Herod with his men of war
00:09:57.66\00:10:01.67
set him at nought, and
mocked him, and arrayed him
00:10:01.70\00:10:04.61
in a gorgeous robe, and
sent him again to Pilate.
00:10:04.64\00:10:07.57
And the same day Pilate and
Herod were made friends together
00:10:07.60\00:10:12.31
for before they were at
enmity between themselves.
00:10:12.34\00:10:15.77
And Pilate, when he had called
together the chief priests and
00:10:15.80\00:10:19.94
the rulers and the
people, Said unto them,
00:10:19.97\00:10:22.05
Ye have brought this man
unto me, as one that perverteth
00:10:22.08\00:10:25.32
the people: and behold, I
having examined him before you,
00:10:25.35\00:10:30.87
have found no fault in this man
touching those things whereof
00:10:30.90\00:10:34.49
ye accuse him: No, nor yet
Herod: for I sent you to him;
00:10:34.52\00:10:39.09
and lo, nothing worthy
of death is done unto him.
00:10:39.12\00:10:42.63
I will therefore
chastise him, and release him.
00:10:42.66\00:10:46.44
For of necessity he must release
one unto them at the feast.
00:10:46.47\00:10:50.90
And they cried out all at once,
saying, Away with this man,
00:10:50.93\00:10:55.60
and release unto us Barabbas:
Who for a certain sedition
00:10:55.63\00:10:59.60
made in the city, and for
murder, was cast into prison.
00:10:59.63\00:11:03.54
Pilate therefore, willing
to release Jesus, spake again
00:11:03.57\00:11:08.13
to them. But they cried Saying,
Crucify him, crucify him.
00:11:08.16\00:11:13.03
And he said unto
them the third time, Why,
00:11:13.06\00:11:16.38
what evil hath he done? I have
found no cause of death in him:
00:11:16.41\00:11:19.68
I will therefore
chastise him, and let him go.
00:11:19.71\00:11:23.06
And they were instant with loud
voices, requiring that he might
00:11:23.09\00:11:27.58
be crucified. And the voices
of them and of the chief priests
00:11:27.61\00:11:31.75
prevailed. And Pilate
gave sentence that it should be
00:11:31.78\00:11:35.94
as they required. And
he released unto them him
00:11:35.97\00:11:39.47
that for sedition and
murder was cast into prison,
00:11:39.50\00:11:42.43
whom they had desired: but he
delivered Jesus to their will.
00:11:42.46\00:11:46.15
And as they led him away,
they laid hold upon one Simon,
00:11:46.18\00:11:50.59
a Cyrenian, coming out of the
country, and on him they laid
00:11:50.62\00:11:54.29
the cross, that he
might bear it after Jesus.
00:11:54.32\00:11:57.46
And there followed him a great
company of people, and of women,
00:11:57.49\00:12:01.73
which also
bewailed and lamented him.
00:12:01.76\00:12:04.03
But Jesus turning unto them,
said, Daughters of Jerusalem,
00:12:04.06\00:12:08.04
weep not for me,
but weep for yourselves,
00:12:08.07\00:12:11.01
and for your children.
For, behold the days are coming,
00:12:11.04\00:12:14.27
in the which they shall
say, Blessed are the barren,
00:12:14.30\00:12:17.11
and the wombs that
never bare, and the paps which
00:12:17.14\00:12:19.39
never gave suck. Then shall they
begin to say to the mountains,
00:12:19.42\00:12:23.23
Fall on us; and to the
hills, cover us. For if they do
00:12:23.26\00:12:27.41
these things in a green tree,
what shall be done in the dry?
00:12:27.44\00:12:31.15
And there were also two
other, malefactors, led with him
00:12:31.18\00:12:35.36
to be put to death. And when
they were come to the place,
00:12:35.39\00:12:38.76
which is called Calvary,
there they Crucified Him,
00:12:38.79\00:12:41.65
and the malefactors, one on
the right hand, and the other
00:12:41.68\00:12:45.08
on the left. Then said
Jesus, Father forgive them;
00:12:45.11\00:12:49.44
for they know not what they
do. And they parted his raiment,
00:12:49.47\00:12:53.71
and cast lots. And the
people stood beholding.
00:12:53.74\00:12:56.16
And the rulers also with
them derided him, saying,
00:12:56.19\00:12:59.08
He saved others; let him
save himself, if he be Christ,
00:12:59.11\00:13:02.68
the chosen of God. And
the soldiers also mocked him
00:13:02.71\00:13:06.55
coming to him, and offering
him vinegar, and saying,
00:13:06.58\00:13:10.11
If thou be the king
of the Jews save thyself.
00:13:10.14\00:13:12.25
And a superscription also
was written over him in letters
00:13:12.28\00:13:17.02
of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew,
THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
00:13:17.05\00:13:22.83
And one of the malefactors
which were hanged railed on him,
00:13:22.86\00:13:27.38
Saying, If thou be
Christ, save thyself and us.
00:13:27.41\00:13:30.16
But the other
answering rebuked him, saying,
00:13:30.19\00:13:34.67
Dost not thou fear
God, seeing thou art in
00:13:34.70\00:13:38.48
the same condemnation? And
we indeed justly; for we receive
00:13:38.51\00:13:43.66
the due reward of our deeds:
but this man hath done nothing
00:13:43.69\00:13:47.33
amiss. And he said unto
Jesus, Lord, remember me
00:13:47.36\00:13:52.06
when thou comest into thy
kingdom. And Jesus said unto
00:13:52.09\00:13:55.74
to him, Verily I say unto thee
Today, shalt thou be with me
00:13:55.77\00:14:00.32
in Paradise. And it
was about the sixth hour,
00:14:00.35\00:14:03.70
and there was a darkness over
all the earth until the 9th hour
00:14:03.73\00:14:06.36
and the sun was darkened,
and the veil of the temple
00:14:06.39\00:14:09.55
was rent in the midst.
And when Jesus had cried
00:14:09.58\00:14:13.05
with a loud voice, he
said, Father into thy hands
00:14:13.08\00:14:17.30
I commend my spirit: and having
said thus, he gave up the ghost.
00:14:17.33\00:14:23.03
Now when the centurion saw
what was done, he glorified God,
00:14:23.06\00:14:27.57
saying, Certainly
this was a righteous man.
00:14:27.60\00:14:31.47
Thank you for joining me today.
