Hey kids, it's time for Sabbath School. Grab your Bibles and 00:00:01.36\00:00:03.03 let's go. 00:00:03.06\00:00:04.67 ¤ ¤ 00:00:04.70\00:00:07.70 (Miss Ruthie)Hello boys and girls. Welcome back to Starting 00:00:29.52\00:00:32.09 with Jesus. We have some pretty fun things planned for you today 00:00:32.13\00:00:36.23 and we've been learning a new theme song haven't we? I'm 00:00:36.26\00:00:40.20 really enjoying this one. We also have an exciting Bible 00:00:40.24\00:00:44.84 story with Miss Michelle. So make sure to down load week's 00:00:44.87\00:00:49.41 coloring picture at startingwithjesus.com/color 00:00:49.44\00:00:52.41 and you'll be able to color along while Miss Michelle is 00:00:52.45\00:00:56.18 telling her story. Now before we get to that, what is the first 00:00:56.22\00:01:02.42 thing we do? That's right. We sing. So let's get to 00:01:02.46\00:01:05.73 some singing. 00:01:05.76\00:01:07.10 ¤ ¤ 00:01:07.13\00:01:13.23 ¤ ¤ 00:02:14.86\00:02:18.63 ¤ ¤ 00:03:40.82\00:03:49.89 ¤ ¤ 00:06:25.91\00:06:30.19 (Miss Gloria) Hi boys and girls. Welcome to another page in God's 00:06:30.22\00:06:32.42 great book of nature. Today we're going to learn about a 00:06:32.45\00:06:37.66 I'm sorry, a what? 00:06:37.69\00:06:39.93 A Holz Hausen. 00:06:39.96\00:06:43.03 What's a Holz Hausen 00:06:43.06\00:06:45.60 Well a Holz Hausen is a wood pile that has been stacked 00:06:45.63\00:06:51.21 in a circular shape like the one behind me. It's also called a 00:06:51.24\00:06:55.78 bee hive stack or a round stack because of the shape that it has 00:06:55.81\00:07:00.08 This kind of wood pile is stacked very carefully and you 00:07:00.12\00:07:04.69 don't need a shed or a rack or anything to hold the wood in 00:07:04.72\00:07:08.49 place. You simply start by sticking a branch in the ground 00:07:08.52\00:07:10.99 and then you lay wood logs all around it. You keep piling and 00:07:11.03\00:07:16.10 stacking up from there. Once you have a good little round wall 00:07:16.13\00:07:19.83 you start filling in the center with more logs. You can store a 00:07:19.87\00:07:23.87 lot of firewood in a small space this way. The whole thing is 00:07:23.91\00:07:27.68 really strong and secure. It can stand against tough winds and 00:07:27.71\00:07:32.95 rain. Do you know what happens to a piece of wood if it's left 00:07:32.98\00:07:36.15 on the ground by itself? When it gets rained on, soggy and eaten 00:07:36.18\00:07:41.19 by worms. It also starts rotting away. Yikes! But if this piece 00:07:41.22\00:07:47.03 of wood gets stacked in a pile with other wood with time the 00:07:47.06\00:07:51.43 sun and fresh air will dry it out and it'll be ready to be 00:07:51.47\00:07:54.80 used as firewood. Now that's more like it. God didn't make us 00:07:54.84\00:08:00.34 to be alone like that rotting log left to deal with the 00:08:00.38\00:08:03.65 struggles of life by ourselves. We would rot away in our sins. 00:08:03.68\00:08:07.52 Instead He made us to be in a relationship like families and 00:08:07.55\00:08:11.39 church families. If we unite in a circle of truth in Jesus we'll 00:08:11.42\00:08:16.52 find that God's sunshine, which is His love, will evaporate all 00:08:16.56\00:08:20.10 our sins and back characters. His fresh air, which is the Holy 00:08:20.13\00:08:24.63 Spirit, will prepare us to light a spiritual fire as we share 00:08:24.67\00:08:28.57 God's love and do God's will. 00:08:28.60\00:08:31.31 So remember, just like this wood is piled together in a circle 00:08:38.01\00:08:42.68 making it strong and dry so it can be used as firewood, let's 00:08:42.72\00:08:47.06 stand together in truth so Jesus can work on us and make us who 00:08:47.09\00:08:50.59 He wants us to be. 00:08:50.63\00:08:51.96 ¤ ¤ 00:08:51.99\00:09:16.62 (Miss Michelle) Have you ever heard your mom complain because 00:09:16.65\00:09:19.62 every day she has to clean the kitchen. No matter how many days 00:09:19.65\00:09:24.59 she cleans the kitchen the kitchen gets dirty the next day 00:09:24.63\00:09:27.53 again. And I'm sure maybe your dad helps to the clean it up. 00:09:27.56\00:09:31.23 Maybe he even complains about it There are some things in life 00:09:31.27\00:09:34.84 that seen to happen again and again and again. Today we're 00:09:34.87\00:09:38.24 going to hear another story about Jesus and how he cleaned 00:09:38.27\00:09:41.98 something that He'd already cleaned before. Let's listen and 00:09:42.01\00:09:45.65 find out what that was, after we have prayer. 00:09:45.68\00:09:48.48 Dear heavenly Father, we thank you so very much for your love 00:09:48.52\00:09:51.85 for us. Thank you for coming down to this earth and spending 00:09:51.89\00:09:56.22 your life with us, actually living amongst us. I pray that 00:09:56.26\00:10:00.03 you'll be with us now as we continue to learn about your 00:10:00.06\00:10:03.16 last week here on earth. In your name we pray, Amen. 00:10:03.20\00:10:06.57 Well today's lesson, as you may know, is called Cleaning the 00:10:06.60\00:10:12.67 Temple Again. That's right. You see. It's Passover time and 00:10:12.71\00:10:17.55 people from all over the world have come to Jerusalem to 00:10:17.58\00:10:20.18 celebrate this special Jewish event. And I think it's a really 00:10:20.22\00:10:24.22 cool event to celebrate in general because it's a 00:10:24.25\00:10:27.26 historical event in the lives of all Christians as well. Right 00:10:27.29\00:10:29.76 Jesus knew that he was going to die soon and usually, he stayed 00:10:29.79\00:10:34.33 away from Jerusalem throughout His ministry, if you've noticed. 00:10:34.36\00:10:37.23 But during the last week of His life He spent an extra amount of 00:10:37.27\00:10:40.70 time there. He knew that people would need to be paying 00:10:40.74\00:10:44.31 attention to the events that were coming up for their 00:10:44.34\00:10:46.81 salvation. Right? So Jesus went to the temple and talked just 00:10:46.84\00:10:52.08 like He did when He was really young. Right? Three years 00:10:52.11\00:10:55.72 earlier, you see, He'd come to this very same temple and He had 00:10:55.75\00:10:58.99 found it not in a good place. Do you remember what was 00:10:59.02\00:11:03.26 happening? That's right. There were money changers there and 00:11:03.29\00:11:05.56 they were trying to sell people animals and the animals were so 00:11:05.59\00:11:08.36 loud. They were trying to sell to people for prices that were 00:11:08.40\00:11:11.37 ridiculously high and they were making a very big profit. And do 00:11:11.40\00:11:16.57 you remember what happened? He drove them out and He said this 00:11:16.60\00:11:19.41 house should be a house of prayer. Right? And you have made 00:11:19.44\00:11:22.24 it a crazy place. Now when he came back this time, three years 00:11:22.28\00:11:27.18 later, it was even worse than before. Can you hear it now? 00:11:27.22\00:11:32.12 Can you imagine if you came to your church and it sounded more 00:11:32.15\00:11:35.09 like a barn than a church? That's what it was like. 00:11:35.12\00:11:38.09 Wasn't it? And Jesus just looked around the temple and his gaze 00:11:38.13\00:11:42.56 just stopped everyone. Maybe your mom or dad or teacher has a 00:11:42.60\00:11:47.47 gaze that works kind of like that but I don't think anyone 00:11:47.50\00:11:50.11 has the Jesus gaze. We're going to pick up the story in Mark 00:11:50.14\00:11:54.58 chapter 11 verse 15, 11 verse 15 says:... 00:11:54.61\00:11:58.31 So they came to Jerusalem and when Jesus went into the temple 00:11:58.35\00:12:01.55 He began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple 00:12:01.58\00:12:05.85 and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of 00:12:05.89\00:12:09.09 those who sold doves. He would not allow anyone to carry wares 00:12:09.12\00:12:12.76 through the temple. [That's right] And then He taught saying 00:12:12.79\00:12:18.63 to them, Is it not written my house shall be called a house of 00:12:18.67\00:12:22.10 prayer for all nations. But you have made it a den of thieves. 00:12:22.14\00:12:27.04 Because these people were selling the animals for 00:12:27.08\00:12:29.98 ridiculously high prices. 00:12:30.01\00:12:32.21 And the scribes and chief priest heard of it and they sought how 00:12:32.25\00:12:34.12 they might destroy Him. 00:12:34.15\00:12:35.48 This made them very upset that He was disrupting their temple 00:12:35.52\00:12:39.15 services. 00:12:39.19\00:12:40.52 For they feared Him because all the people were astonished at 00:12:40.56\00:12:43.46 His teaching. And when evening had come He went out of the 00:12:43.49\00:12:47.26 city. So once again though, we know from the Bible and from 00:12:47.30\00:12:53.47 other books of the Bible, it says that when He drove them out 00:12:53.50\00:12:59.01 once again the priests and rulers left. The money changers 00:12:59.04\00:13:01.98 left, everybody ran away. You would think that they wouldn't 00:13:02.01\00:13:04.01 be scared of Him this time. He'd already done this once before. 00:13:04.05\00:13:06.38 Right? But they still were scared and people brought in 00:13:06.41\00:13:09.88 sick people once again, like the first time. And no longer could 00:13:09.92\00:13:15.19 you hear arguing, no longer could you hear noisy animals. 00:13:15.22\00:13:19.56 All you heard now is happy people headed to see Jesus. 00:13:19.59\00:13:22.36 And we know this because it talks about it in the book of 00:13:22.40\00:13:25.40 Matthew. So let's back up to the book of Matthew chapter 21. 00:13:25.43\00:13:29.40 I love that there's four gospels that tell the story of Jesus's 00:13:29.44\00:13:32.91 life on earth because they all add a super interesting 00:13:32.94\00:13:35.88 perspective and details that maybe somebody else forgot. 00:13:35.91\00:13:40.08 Matthew 21 verse 14 says:... 00:13:40.12\00:13:44.15 And then the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple and He 00:13:44.19\00:13:46.86 healed them. 00:13:46.89\00:13:48.22 But when the chief priest and scribes saw the wonderful things 00:13:48.26\00:13:51.03 that He did and the children crying out in the temple and 00:13:51.06\00:13:53.46 saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were indignant. 00:13:53.50\00:13:57.60 Do you know what the word indignant means? Maybe you've 00:13:57.63\00:14:00.77 heard the word furious, maybe you've heard the words roaring 00:14:00.80\00:14:04.97 mad. Those would all be synonyms for the word indignant. 00:14:05.01\00:14:07.94 They were not just a little bit upset. They were super angry. 00:14:07.98\00:14:10.91 And said to Him, Do you hear these things they are saying? 00:14:10.95\00:14:14.88 And Jesus said to them. Yes. Have you not read, Out of the 00:14:14.92\00:14:18.95 mouths of babes and nursing infants you have perfected 00:14:18.99\00:14:22.66 praise. 00:14:22.69\00:14:24.03 Now you see this was actually from the book of Isaiah. I'm 00:14:24.06\00:14:29.83 sorry, Psalms, it was from the book of Psalms so He was 00:14:29.86\00:14:32.00 actually quoting a prophecy in relation to Him. Oh, they got so 00:14:32.03\00:14:39.07 upset that that He would say that to them. Oh! So frustrated 00:14:39.11\00:14:44.48 they were. But you couldn't scare Jesus and they could see 00:14:44.51\00:14:48.65 that. They thought maybe they could intimidate Him. Right? And 00:14:48.68\00:14:52.29 it wasn't working. So they decided to try to trick Him. 00:14:52.32\00:14:55.16 And if you recall they've tried this before but apparently they 00:14:55.19\00:14:58.76 decided to try it again. So that night they all were trying to 00:14:58.79\00:15:02.13 think of a trick question, that no matter how He answered it 00:15:02.16\00:15:05.67 He'd get it wrong and they could show that He was wrong and they 00:15:05.70\00:15:08.80 were right. Right? So let's see how that goes for them. We're 00:15:08.84\00:15:12.37 to Tuesday now in that week that is going to take this whole 00:15:12.41\00:15:15.41 quarter to take about. The day of Tuesday. 00:15:15.44\00:15:19.01 On Tuesday morning Jesus headed back to the temple to spend time 00:15:19.05\00:15:22.68 there. And they were ready with their trick question for him. 00:15:22.72\00:15:26.25 Are you ready to hear what it is? Here it is:... 00:15:26.29\00:15:28.59 Matthew 21 verse 23:...[They were feeling pretty proud of 00:15:28.62\00:15:32.96 themselves here.] Now when He came to the temple the chief 00:15:32.99\00:15:36.80 priest and the elders of the people confronted Him as He was 00:15:36.83\00:15:38.90 teaching and said [Ah excuse me Jesus, ah] by what authority are 00:15:38.93\00:15:43.61 you doing these things and who gave you this authority? 00:15:43.64\00:15:48.38 Hmm. If He said God then they would say you know, No, 00:15:48.41\00:15:54.78 like you're wrong. 00:15:54.82\00:15:56.15 You cannot claim to be from God. And then of course He wasn't 00:15:56.18\00:15:58.62 going to say Satan which wouldn't make any sense 00:15:58.65\00:16:01.82 whatsoever, so any way that He answered, My own authority, Oh 00:16:01.86\00:16:05.96 my like that wouldn't give Him any credibility. Right? But 00:16:05.99\00:16:10.77 Jesus was very intelligent and He knew their tricks. And so 00:16:10.80\00:16:14.90 instead of answering the question either way, truthfully 00:16:14.94\00:16:18.87 He would have said, From God and they would have been upset. 00:16:18.91\00:16:21.08 He decided to switch it up on them. And so in verse 24 it says 00:16:21.11\00:16:26.45 Jesus answered and said to them: I also will tell you one thing, 00:16:26.48\00:16:31.82 which if you tell me I likewise will tell you of what authority 00:16:31.85\00:16:36.12 I do these things. 00:16:36.16\00:16:37.49 So he said, Well, how this? I'll ask you a question. If you 00:16:37.53\00:16:41.03 answer my question, I'll answer your question. Seems fair. 00:16:41.06\00:16:44.10 Verse 25: The baptism of John, Jesus said, Where was it from? 00:16:44.13\00:16:48.80 Was it from heaven or from men? And they reasoned among 00:16:48.84\00:16:53.64 themselves [Ooh well] If we say it's from heaven, He will say to 00:16:53.68\00:16:57.48 us then why did you not believe in him? But if we say it's from 00:16:57.51\00:17:01.85 men [mm, that won't work] for we fear what the multitude will say 00:17:01.88\00:17:05.29 for all count John as a prophet. 00:17:05.32\00:17:07.09 Like everybody thought he was really cool and they thought he 00:17:07.12\00:17:09.76 was a prophet. We can't... Ahh! A trick question with a trick 00:17:09.79\00:17:13.70 question. Right? 00:17:13.73\00:17:15.06 So they answered Jesus and said, [Well, well] We do not know. And 00:17:15.10\00:17:19.77 said to them, [Well] Neither will I tell you by what 00:17:19.80\00:17:22.90 authority I do these things. 00:17:22.94\00:17:24.44 That was the deal. A deal is a deal. You decide not to answer 00:17:24.47\00:17:27.88 my question, can't answer yours either. Right? He knew that 00:17:27.91\00:17:31.88 answering that question truthfully was not going 00:17:31.91\00:17:34.72 to bring people closer to God or to Him. It was just going to add 00:17:34.75\00:17:38.52 fuel to the fire of those religious leaders and He didn't 00:17:38.55\00:17:41.96 take the bait. He walked away. They were trying to get Him all 00:17:41.99\00:17:46.49 flustered and because of God's power that He had tanked up on 00:17:46.53\00:17:49.40 that last night of prayer He knew how to respond to them. 00:17:49.43\00:17:52.47 Jesus wasn't trying to embarrass these leaders and He wanted to 00:17:52.50\00:17:58.31 save them. But it was time for a parable. Time for a lesson 00:17:58.34\00:18:02.84 because people there needed to understand what was really 00:18:02.88\00:18:04.91 happening there. And it's called the Parable of the Two Sons. 00:18:04.95\00:18:07.78 Let's read it in verse 28 of Matthew 21:... 00:18:07.82\00:18:13.46 But what do you think? A man has two sons and he came to the 00:18:13.49\00:18:17.96 first one and said, Son go work today in my vineyard. And he 00:18:17.99\00:18:23.13 answered and said, I will not. 00:18:23.16\00:18:24.53 The son said to the father, I will not. Okay. 00:18:24.57\00:18:28.24 But afterwards he regretted it [felt bad] and he went 00:18:28.27\00:18:31.44 and worked 00:18:31.47\00:18:32.81 in the vineyard. Then he came to the second son and said 00:18:32.84\00:18:35.08 likewise and he answered and said, I go, sir. [Mm-hmm] But 00:18:35.11\00:18:40.45 he didn't actually go [Hmmm]. Which of the two did the will 00:18:40.48\00:18:46.59 of his father? Jesus asked. And they said, [Well] the first one 00:18:46.62\00:18:50.66 did. Jesus said to them, Assuredly I say to you, 00:18:50.69\00:18:53.50 [get ready for this] Assuredly I say to you, that tax collectors 00:18:53.53\00:18:59.47 and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you. For John came to 00:18:59.50\00:19:03.47 you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him. 00:19:03.51\00:19:05.87 But tax collectors and harlots believed him and when you saw it 00:19:05.91\00:19:09.51 you did not after relent and believe in him. 00:19:09.54\00:19:12.55 He's saying, You guys are the second son. You say that you 00:19:12.58\00:19:15.95 follow God but you don't really follow Him. And sinners, 00:19:15.98\00:19:19.35 Gentiles, people who you believe are low and not worthy, they 00:19:19.39\00:19:25.49 actually are following God's will. They're actually following 00:19:25.53\00:19:29.00 what He wants them to do even though they've messed up in the 00:19:29.03\00:19:31.27 past. Wow! Jesus didn't mince words did He there? The people 00:19:31.30\00:19:37.41 began to question the leaders didn't they. They couldn't like 00:19:37.44\00:19:40.64 understand. All these years they'd respected them and they'd 00:19:40.68\00:19:43.14 trusted what they'd said but they were seeing the 00:19:43.18\00:19:47.05 inconsistencies that Jesus was bringing out and they were 00:19:47.08\00:19:50.45 starting to doubt. That same day Jesus was observing people 00:19:50.49\00:19:53.86 there in the temple giving love gifts to God. And He'd watch the 00:19:53.89\00:19:57.13 rich and they'd come in there with their big bag of money and 00:19:57.16\00:19:59.79 make a big show of making sure the coins really clanked a lot 00:19:59.83\00:20:02.76 so everybody would pay attention Right You tell how prideful they 00:20:02.80\00:20:08.37 were, how proud they were of how much they were giving. Then 00:20:08.40\00:20:10.87 Jesus continued to watch and He saw a stooped widow, an older 00:20:10.91\00:20:16.38 lady there who quietly watched to make sure no one else was 00:20:16.41\00:20:21.18 watching and she quietly walked over to the you know the money 00:20:21.22\00:20:25.82 chest there where they were giving their gifts and she put 00:20:25.85\00:20:28.22 in two small coins. Then she started to turn away and Jesus 00:20:28.26\00:20:33.86 noticed this right away and it made him so, so happy. Really 00:20:33.90\00:20:39.90 Miss Michelle? A small gift of two coins made Jesus so, so 00:20:39.93\00:20:44.01 happy. That's right. Let's hop over to Mark and in Mark 12 00:20:44.04\00:20:49.41 we'll hear what Jesus said at that time. Verse 42:... 00:20:49.44\00:20:53.52 Then one poor widow came and threw in two mites which make a 00:20:53.55\00:20:57.25 quadrans. [Very small amount of money] So he called his 00:20:57.29\00:21:00.59 disciples to himself and said to them, Assuredly I say to you 00:21:00.62\00:21:03.53 that this poor widow has put in more than all those who have 00:21:03.56\00:21:07.16 given money to the treasury for they all put in out of their 00:21:07.20\00:21:11.73 abundance, [they had lots of money at home, they had lots of 00:21:11.77\00:21:14.04 money in their bank account] but she put in out of her poverty. 00:21:14.07\00:21:18.51 She put in all that she had, her whole livelihood. 00:21:18.54\00:21:22.58 Can you imagine the widow hearing what Jesus said to the 00:21:22.61\00:21:26.01 disciples? How glad that must have made her heart to know that 00:21:26.05\00:21:30.02 God noticed that gift. Now Jesus talked a lot about rich people 00:21:30.05\00:21:33.52 and poor people. For rich people they do have a lot of money at 00:21:33.56\00:21:36.62 home and sometimes that makes them trust themselves more than 00:21:36.66\00:21:39.13 they trust God. Whereas poor people often have to worry about 00:21:39.16\00:21:42.36 money and are forced to trust God to provide for them. God 00:21:42.40\00:21:46.97 knows how we use our money. He knows how much money we have 00:21:47.00\00:21:49.44 left over after we give to Him. Some people may ask, well Miss 00:21:49.47\00:21:52.61 Michelle is it okay for us to keep some money for ourselves 00:21:52.64\00:21:54.78 and of course. But I want you to think about a few principles 00:21:54.81\00:21:58.51 when you're giving. Okay? We should all remember that 00:21:58.55\00:22:02.72 everything that we have belongs to God. Whether you're rich or 00:22:02.75\00:22:05.32 poor everything that you have belongs to God. And we should be 00:22:05.35\00:22:08.89 humble when we give and love God the most of all. And always be 00:22:08.92\00:22:12.96 ready to help. Always be ready to help other people. Thanks 00:22:12.99\00:22:15.96 for listening today and we'll see you again next time for 00:22:16.00\00:22:19.17 more stories from the life of Jesus. 00:22:19.20\00:22:21.47 ¤ ¤ 00:22:21.50\00:22:34.88 Thank you Miss Michelle for that Bible story.

Now you 00:24:04.41\00:24:08.38 might be watching on a different platform but if you go to our 00:24:08.41\00:24:11.85 website at startingwithjesus.com you'll be able to find the 00:24:11.88\00:24:15.72 program with the shout outs in it. 00:24:15.75\00:24:18.32 ¤ ¤ 00:24:18.35\00:24:34.20 Our memory verse is found in 2 Corinthians 9 verse 7: 00:24:34.24\00:24:37.41 It says, God loves a cheerful giver. 00:24:37.44\00:24:41.41 ¤ ¤ 00:24:41.44\00:24:56.22 (Uncle Vince) Growing up as a little boy, as a Christian 00:24:56.26\00:24:59.89 little boy, my parents were very careful what friends we 00:24:59.93\00:25:04.40 were to spend our time with. As we were playing one day I 00:25:04.43\00:25:10.41 remember playing with a friend, I did something and he did not 00:25:10.44\00:25:15.21 like it and he was not a Christian little boy. And at 00:25:15.24\00:25:18.58 that point when I did something that offended him, he got so 00:25:18.61\00:25:21.55 angry and used a bad word. So I had never heard that word 00:25:21.58\00:25:27.12 before. I did not know what it meant. And I never got to find 00:25:27.16\00:25:30.26 out until many years later. But I remember what the word was. 00:25:30.29\00:25:34.16 A few months or so later as I was asking my Nanny to give me 00:25:34.20\00:25:40.90 some food and I was getting hungry and I was getting 00:25:40.94\00:25:43.71 impatient and she said, All right, you will need to wait. 00:25:43.74\00:25:48.64 I got angry and I used that same cuss word. And Oh Boy! It was 00:25:48.68\00:25:54.62 not good. I remember when my parents came home that evening 00:25:54.65\00:25:59.05 we had a talk and a lot more than a talk and I remember from 00:25:59.09\00:26:05.26 that day on the importance of making sure my words were good 00:26:05.29\00:26:10.33 Christian words that I used in my interaction with people. 00:26:10.37\00:26:13.84 I hope that's the same for you. Remember that God loves to hear 00:26:13.87\00:26:18.57 us use pure, kind words. Whatsoever is true, whatsoever 00:26:18.61\00:26:23.24 is honest, noble, lovely, think and speak on these things. 00:26:23.28\00:26:28.28 ¤ ¤ 00:26:28.32\00:26:30.19 Thank you so much for joining us.
