Hi, and welcome to
His Words Are Life.
00:00:17.25\00:00:19.79
I'm Kelly Mowrer, and I'm glad
you're joining with me today
00:00:19.82\00:00:22.75
to read the very word of God.
00:00:22.86\00:00:24.19
Before we turn to the
gospel of Luke and begin,
00:00:24.22\00:00:26.93
let's go to God in prayer.
00:00:26.96\00:00:28.23
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You
that in our time together we can
00:00:28.26\00:00:34.82
read of Your death for us,
and of the resurrection and
00:00:34.85\00:00:39.82
eternal life that You have given
to us, the way You have made
00:00:39.85\00:00:43.99
for us to come and be
with You for eternity.
00:00:44.02\00:00:46.67
We thank You for that.
00:00:46.70\00:00:48.61
We can never fully understand
it, and we don't deserve it,
00:00:48.64\00:00:52.00
but we love You
because You first loved us.
00:00:52.03\00:00:54.15
Come be with us now
as we read Your word.
00:00:54.18\00:00:56.53
Amen.
00:00:56.56\00:00:57.53
Again, I'm reading
today from the gospel of Luke.
00:00:57.54\00:01:01.48
We'll begin in chapter 23.
00:01:01.51\00:01:03.73
This is the King James Version,
and we're beginning with
00:01:03.76\00:01:07.41
verse 48.
00:01:07.44\00:01:08.41
And all the people that
came together to that sight,
00:01:08.42\00:01:12.74
beholding the things which
were done, smote their breasts,
00:01:12.77\00:01:16.79
and returned.
00:01:16.82\00:01:17.79
And all his acquaintance,
and the women that followed him
00:01:17.80\00:01:20.94
from Galilee, stood afar
off, beholding these things.
00:01:20.97\00:01:24.89
And, behold, there was a
man named Joseph, a counselor;
00:01:24.92\00:01:28.79
and he was a good man,
and a just: (The same had not
00:01:28.82\00:01:32.76
consented to the counsel
and deed of them:) he was of
00:01:32.79\00:01:36.71
Arimathea, a city of the Jews;
who also himself waited for the
00:01:36.74\00:01:41.35
kingdom of God.
00:01:41.38\00:01:42.35
This man went unto Pilate,
and begged the body of Jesus.
00:01:42.36\00:01:46.49
And he took it down, and wrapped
it in linen, and laid it in a
00:01:46.52\00:01:50.21
sepulcher that was hewn
in stone, wherein never man
00:01:50.24\00:01:53.80
before was laid.
00:01:53.83\00:01:54.96
And that day
was the preparation,
00:01:54.99\00:01:57.57
and the Sabbath drew on.
00:01:57.61\00:01:59.80
And the women also, which came
with him from Galilee, followed
00:01:59.83\00:02:03.70
after, and beheld the sepulcher,
and how his body was laid.
00:02:03.73\00:02:07.18
And they returned, and prepared
spices and ointments, and rested
00:02:07.21\00:02:11.34
the Sabbath day
according to the commandment.
00:02:11.37\00:02:14.08
I'm reading from the gospel
of Luke and beginning with
00:02:14.11\00:02:17.79
chapter 24.
00:02:17.82\00:02:18.88
Now upon the first day of the
week, very early in the morning,
00:02:18.91\00:02:23.73
they came unto the sepulcher,
bringing the spices which they
00:02:23.76\00:02:27.62
had prepared, and
certain others with them.
00:02:27.65\00:02:29.69
And they found the stone
rolled away from the sepulcher.
00:02:29.72\00:02:33.52
And they entered in, and found
not the body of the Lord Jesus.
00:02:33.55\00:02:37.27
And it came to pass, as they
were much perplexed thereabout,
00:02:37.30\00:02:41.66
behold, two men stood by them
in shining garments: and as they
00:02:41.69\00:02:47.01
were afraid, and bowed
down their faces to the earth,
00:02:47.04\00:02:49.64
they said unto them, Why seek
ye the living among the dead?
00:02:49.67\00:02:54.33
He is not here, but is risen:
remember how he spake unto you
00:02:54.36\00:02:59.12
when he was yet in Galilee,
saying, The Son of man must be
00:02:59.15\00:03:02.50
delivered into the hands of
sinful men, and be crucified,
00:03:02.53\00:03:05.55
and the third day rise again.
00:03:05.58\00:03:07.66
And they remembered his words.
00:03:07.69\00:03:09.83
And returned from the sepulcher,
and told all these things unto
00:03:09.86\00:03:13.18
the eleven, and to all the rest.
00:03:13.21\00:03:15.22
It was Mary Magdalene, and
Joanna, and Mary the mother
00:03:15.25\00:03:19.38
of James, and other women that
were with them, which told these
00:03:19.41\00:03:22.71
things unto the apostles.
00:03:22.74\00:03:24.18
And their words seemed to them
as idle tales, and they believed
00:03:24.21\00:03:28.62
them not.
00:03:28.65\00:03:29.62
Then arose Peter, and ran
unto the sepulcher; and stooping
00:03:29.63\00:03:34.60
down, he beheld the linen
clothes laid by themselves,
00:03:34.63\00:03:38.47
and departed, wondering
in himself at that which was
00:03:38.50\00:03:43.15
come to pass.
00:03:43.18\00:03:44.15
And, behold, two of them
went that same day to a village
00:03:44.16\00:03:48.33
called Emmaus, which
was from Jerusalem about
00:03:48.36\00:03:50.82
threescore furlongs.
00:03:50.85\00:03:52.34
And they talked together of all
these things which had happened.
00:03:52.37\00:03:55.49
And it came to pass, that,
while they communed together
00:03:55.52\00:03:59.33
and reasoned, Jesus himself
drew near, and went with them.
00:03:59.36\00:04:04.43
But their eyes were held
that they should not know him.
00:04:04.46\00:04:08.91
And he said unto them,
What manner of communications
00:04:08.94\00:04:12.96
are these that ye have
one to another, as ye walk,
00:04:12.99\00:04:16.37
and are sad?
00:04:16.40\00:04:17.37
And the one of them, whose name
was Cleopas, answering said unto
00:04:17.38\00:04:22.22
him, Art thou only a stranger
in Jerusalem, and hast not known
00:04:22.25\00:04:25.99
the things where are come
to pass there in these days?
00:04:26.02\00:04:28.55
And he said unto
them, What things?
00:04:28.58\00:04:30.98
And they said unto him,
Concerning Jesus of Nazareth,
00:04:31.01\00:04:35.38
which was a prophet mighty
in deed and word before God
00:04:35.41\00:04:39.48
and all the people: and how
the chief priests and our rulers
00:04:39.51\00:04:42.88
delivered him to be condemned to
death, and have crucified him.
00:04:42.91\00:04:47.05
But we trusted that it had been
he which should have redeemed
00:04:47.08\00:04:51.19
Israel: and beside all this,
today is the third day since
00:04:51.22\00:04:53.86
these things were done.
00:04:53.89\00:04:54.91
Yea, and certain women also of
our company made us astonished,
00:04:54.94\00:04:59.24
which were early at the
sepulcher; and when they found
00:04:59.27\00:05:01.97
not his body, they came, saying,
that they had also seen a vision
00:05:02.00\00:05:06.89
of angels, which
said that he was alive.
00:05:06.92\00:05:09.38
And certain of them which were
with us went to the sepulcher,
00:05:09.41\00:05:12.97
and found it even so
as the women had said:
00:05:13.00\00:05:15.47
but him they saw not.
00:05:15.50\00:05:17.95
Then he said unto them, O fools,
and slow of heart to believe all
00:05:17.98\00:05:24.50
that the prophets have
spoken: ought not Christ to have
00:05:24.54\00:05:28.29
suffered these things,
and to enter into his glory?
00:05:28.32\00:05:31.73
And beginning at Moses and all
the prophets, he expounded unto
00:05:31.76\00:05:35.92
them in all the Scriptures
the things concerning himself.
00:05:35.95\00:05:38.75
And they drew nigh unto
the village, whither they went:
00:05:38.78\00:05:41.97
and he made as though
he would have gone further.
00:05:42.00\00:05:45.45
But they constrained him,
saying, Abide with us; for it is
00:05:45.48\00:05:49.47
toward evening, and
the day is far spent.
00:05:49.50\00:05:51.37
And he went in
to tarry with them.
00:05:51.40\00:05:54.56
And it came to pass, as he sat
at meat with them, he took bread
00:05:54.59\00:05:59.51
and blessed it, and
brake, and gave to them.
00:05:59.54\00:06:03.49
And their eyes were
opened, and they knew him;
00:06:03.52\00:06:06.98
and he vanished
out of their sight.
00:06:07.01\00:06:09.88
And they said one to another,
Did not our heart burn within
00:06:09.91\00:06:14.66
us while he talked with us
by the way, and while he opened
00:06:14.69\00:06:17.47
to us the Scriptures?
00:06:17.50\00:06:18.54
And they rose up the same
hour, and returned to Jerusalem,
00:06:18.57\00:06:21.81
and found the eleven gathered
together, and them that were
00:06:21.91\00:06:25.28
with them, saying,
The Lord is risen indeed,
00:06:25.31\00:06:28.35
and hath appeared to Simon.
00:06:28.39\00:06:29.69
And they told what things were
done in the way, and how he was
00:06:29.73\00:06:33.04
known of them in
breaking of bread.
00:06:33.07\00:06:35.23
And as they thus spake, Jesus
himself stood in the midst of
00:06:35.26\00:06:40.60
them, and saith unto
them, Peace be unto you.
00:06:40.63\00:06:43.91
But they were terrified
and affrighted, and supposed
00:06:43.94\00:06:47.85
that they had seen a spirit.
00:06:47.88\00:06:49.32
And he said unto them, Why are
ye troubled? and why do thoughts
00:06:49.35\00:06:53.44
arise in your hearts?
00:06:53.47\00:06:54.83
Behold my hands and my feet,
that it is I myself: handle me,
00:06:54.86\00:07:00.31
and see; for a spirit
hath not flesh and bones,
00:07:00.34\00:07:02.94
as ye see me have.
00:07:02.97\00:07:04.64
And when he had thus
spoken, he showed them his hands
00:07:04.67\00:07:08.47
and his feet.
00:07:08.50\00:07:09.47
And while they yet believed
not for joy, and wondered,
00:07:09.48\00:07:14.56
he said unto them,
Have ye here any meat?
00:07:14.59\00:07:18.45
And they gave him a
piece of a broiled fish,
00:07:18.48\00:07:21.29
and of a honeycomb.
00:07:21.32\00:07:22.65
And he took it, and
did eat before them.
00:07:22.68\00:07:25.19
And he said unto them,
These are the words which I
00:07:25.22\00:07:28.87
spake unto you, while I was yet
with you, that all things must
00:07:28.90\00:07:33.10
be fulfilled, which were written
in the law of Moses, and in the
00:07:33.13\00:07:36.47
prophets, and in the
psalms, concerning me.
00:07:36.50\00:07:39.01
Then opened he their
understanding, that they might
00:07:39.04\00:07:42.34
understand the Scriptures.
00:07:42.37\00:07:43.77
And he said unto them, Thus it
is written, and thus it behooved
00:07:43.80\00:07:48.09
Christ to suffer, and to rise
from the dead the third day:
00:07:48.12\00:07:51.78
And that repentance and
remission of sins should be
00:07:51.81\00:07:55.51
preached in his name among all
nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
00:07:55.54\00:07:59.20
And ye are
witnesses of these things.
00:07:59.23\00:08:01.20
And, behold, I send the
promise of my Father upon you:
00:08:01.23\00:08:05.24
but tarry ye in the city of
Jerusalem, until ye be endued
00:08:05.27\00:08:08.29
with power from on high.
00:08:08.32\00:08:10.61
And he led them out as far as
to Bethany, and he lifted up his
00:08:10.64\00:08:15.06
hands, and blessed them.
00:08:15.09\00:08:16.78
And it came to pass, while
he blessed them, he was parted
00:08:16.81\00:08:21.20
from them, and
carried up into heaven.
00:08:21.23\00:08:23.62
And they worshiped him, and
returned to Jerusalem with great
00:08:23.65\00:08:27.65
joy: and were continually
in the temple, praising and
00:08:27.68\00:08:32.69
blessing God.
00:08:32.72\00:08:33.69
Amen.
00:08:33.70\00:08:34.67
We continue our reading now with
the gospel according to John.
00:08:34.68\00:08:40.77
We'll begin in chapter
1, and I'm reading from the
00:08:40.80\00:08:43.48
King James Version.
00:08:43.51\00:08:44.48
In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God,
00:08:44.49\00:08:49.84
and the Word was God.
00:08:49.87\00:08:51.68
The same was in
the beginning with God.
00:08:51.71\00:08:54.38
All things were made by him; and
without him was not any thing
00:08:54.41\00:08:59.02
made that was made.
00:08:59.05\00:09:00.72
In him was life; and the
life was the light of men.
00:09:00.75\00:09:05.84
And the light shineth in
darkness; and the darkness
00:09:05.87\00:09:09.57
comprehended it not.
00:09:09.60\00:09:11.37
There was a man sent
from God, whose name was John.
00:09:11.40\00:09:15.70
The same came for a witness,
to bear witness of the Light,
00:09:15.73\00:09:20.16
that all men
through him might believe.
00:09:20.19\00:09:23.55
He was not that Light,
but was sent to bear witness
00:09:23.58\00:09:27.60
of that Light.
00:09:27.63\00:09:28.61
That was the true Light, which
lighteth every man that cometh
00:09:28.64\00:09:33.29
into the world.
00:09:33.32\00:09:34.29
He was in the world, and
the world was made by him,
00:09:34.30\00:09:37.86
and the world knew him not.
00:09:37.89\00:09:40.07
He came unto his own,
and his own received him not.
00:09:40.10\00:09:45.54
But as many as received him, to
them gave he power to become the
00:09:45.57\00:09:50.89
sons of God, even to them that
believe on his name: which were
00:09:50.92\00:09:56.40
born, not of blood, nor
of the will of the flesh,
00:09:56.43\00:09:59.45
nor of the will
of man, but of God.
00:09:59.48\00:10:02.83
And the Word was made
flesh, and dwelt among us,
00:10:02.86\00:10:06.49
(and we beheld his glory, the
glory as of the only begotten
00:10:06.52\00:10:11.10
of the Father,)
full of grace and truth.
00:10:11.13\00:10:14.62
John bare witness of him,
and cried, saying, This was he
00:10:14.65\00:10:18.73
of whom I spake, He that cometh
after me is preferred before me;
00:10:18.76\00:10:22.53
for he was before me.
00:10:22.56\00:10:24.51
And of his fullness have all we
received, and grace for grace.
00:10:24.54\00:10:30.46
For the law was given by Moses,
but grace and truth came by
00:10:30.49\00:10:35.40
Jesus Christ.
00:10:35.43\00:10:36.58
No man hath seen God at any
time; the only begotten Son,
00:10:36.61\00:10:41.83
which is in the bosom of the
Father, he hath declared him.
00:10:41.86\00:10:45.34
And this is the record of John,
when the Jews sent priests and
00:10:45.37\00:10:50.18
Levites from Jerusalem
to ask him, Who art thou?
00:10:50.21\00:10:53.20
And he confessed, and
denied not; but confessed,
00:10:53.23\00:10:56.86
I am not the Christ.
00:10:56.89\00:10:59.11
And they asked him, What then?
00:10:59.14\00:11:01.09
Art thou Elias?
00:11:01.12\00:11:02.76
And he saith, I am not.
00:11:02.79\00:11:04.68
Art thou that Prophet?
00:11:04.71\00:11:06.81
And he answered, No.
00:11:06.84\00:11:08.86
Then said they unto him, Who
art thou? that we may give an
00:11:08.89\00:11:12.87
answer to them that sent us.
00:11:12.90\00:11:14.29
What sayest thou of thyself?
00:11:14.32\00:11:15.91
He said, I am the voice of
one crying in the wilderness,
00:11:15.94\00:11:20.48
Make straight the way
of the Lord, as said the
00:11:20.51\00:11:23.82
prophet Isaiah.
00:11:23.85\00:11:24.82
And they which were
sent were of the Pharisees.
00:11:24.83\00:11:27.95
And they asked him, and said
unto him, Why baptizest thou
00:11:27.98\00:11:31.75
then, if thou be not
that Christ, nor Elias,
00:11:31.78\00:11:34.68
neither that Prophet?
00:11:34.71\00:11:35.81
John answered them, saying,
I baptize with water: but there
00:11:35.84\00:11:41.25
standeth one among you,
whom ye know not; he it is,
00:11:41.28\00:11:45.39
who coming after me is preferred
before me, whose shoe's latchet
00:11:45.42\00:11:49.80
I am not worthy to unloose.
00:11:49.83\00:11:51.88
These things were done
in Bethabara beyond Jordan,
00:11:51.91\00:11:55.57
where John was baptizing.
00:11:55.60\00:11:57.13
The next day John seeth Jesus
coming unto him, and saith,
00:11:57.16\00:12:02.02
Behold the Lamb of God,
which taketh away the sin
00:12:02.05\00:12:06.47
of the world.
00:12:06.50\00:12:07.57
This is he of whom I said,
After me cometh a man which is
00:12:07.60\00:12:11.90
preferred before me;
for he was before me.
00:12:11.93\00:12:15.03
And I knew him not: but that
he should be made manifest to
00:12:15.06\00:12:19.45
Israel, therefore am I
come baptizing with water.
00:12:19.48\00:12:24.14
And John bare record, saying,
I saw the Spirit descending from
00:12:24.17\00:12:28.64
heaven like a dove,
and it abode upon him.
00:12:28.67\00:12:31.78
And I knew him not: but he that
sent me to baptize with water,
00:12:31.81\00:12:36.02
the same said unto me, Upon
whom thou shalt see the Spirit
00:12:36.05\00:12:41.16
descending, and remaining
on him, the same is he which
00:12:41.19\00:12:45.20
baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
00:12:45.23\00:12:47.13
And I saw, and bare record
that this is the Son of God.
00:12:47.16\00:12:52.53
Again the next day after, John
stood, and two of his disciples;
00:12:52.56\00:12:57.29
and looking upon Jesus as
he walked, he saith, Behold the
00:12:57.32\00:13:00.91
Lamb of God!
00:13:00.94\00:13:02.19
And the two disciples heard him
speak, and they followed Jesus.
00:13:02.22\00:13:06.53
Then Jesus turned, and saw them
following, and saith unto them,
00:13:06.56\00:13:11.13
What seek ye?
00:13:11.16\00:13:12.72
They said unto him,
Rabbi, (which is to say,
00:13:12.75\00:13:17.62
being interpreted,
Master,) where dwellest thou?
00:13:17.65\00:13:21.23
He saith unto
them, Come and see.
00:13:21.26\00:13:24.39
They came and saw where he
dwelt, and abode with him that
00:13:24.42\00:13:28.67
day: for it was
about the tenth hour.
00:13:28.70\00:13:30.55
One of the two which heard
John speak, and followed him,
00:13:30.58\00:13:34.59
was Andrew,
Simon Peter's brother.
00:13:34.62\00:13:37.14
He first findeth his own brother
Simon, and said unto him,
00:13:37.17\00:13:41.31
We have found the Messiah,
which is, being interpreted,
00:13:41.34\00:13:44.76
the Christ.
00:13:44.79\00:13:45.97
And he brought him to Jesus.
00:13:46.00\00:13:47.73
And when Jesus beheld him, he
said, Thou art Simon the son of
00:13:47.76\00:13:52.22
Jonah: thou shalt be
called Cephas, which is by
00:13:52.25\00:13:56.00
interpretation, A stone.
00:13:56.03\00:13:57.56
The day following Jesus would go
forth into Galilee, and findeth
00:13:57.59\00:14:01.53
Philip, and saith
unto him, Follow me.
00:14:01.56\00:14:04.00
Now Philip was of Bethsaida,
the city of Andrew and Peter.
00:14:04.03\00:14:08.71
Philip findeth Nathanael, and
saith unto him, We have found
00:14:08.74\00:14:12.81
him, of whom Moses in the law,
and the prophets, did write,
00:14:12.84\00:14:15.95
Jesus of
Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
00:14:15.98\00:14:19.32
And Nathanael said unto
him, Can there any good thing
00:14:19.35\00:14:22.37
come out of Nazareth?
00:14:22.40\00:14:23.47
Philip saith unto
him, Come and see.
00:14:23.50\00:14:26.53
Jesus saw Nathanael
coming to him, and saith of him,
00:14:26.56\00:14:30.22
Behold an Israelite
indeed, in whom is no guile!
00:14:30.25\00:14:35.62
