00:00:00.030 --> 00:00:02.870
Henry: Welcome To Immerse: The
Daily Bible Reading Experience.

00:00:02.988 --> 00:00:03.498
Day three.

00:00:03.683 --> 00:00:07.493
Then Jesus returned to Galilee,
filled with the Holy Spirit's power.

00:00:08.723 --> 00:00:11.663
Reports about him spread quickly
through the whole region.

00:00:12.383 --> 00:00:16.223
He taught regularly in their
synagogues and was praised by everyone.

00:00:17.393 --> 00:00:21.563
When he came to the village of Nazareth,
his boyhood home, he went as usual

00:00:21.568 --> 00:00:25.193
to the synagogue on the Sabbath and
stood up to read the scriptures.

00:00:26.363 --> 00:00:29.033
The scroll of Isaiah, the
prophet was handed to him.

00:00:29.753 --> 00:00:32.663
He unrolled the scroll and found
the place where this was written.

00:00:33.683 --> 00:00:37.493
The spirit of the Lord is upon
me for he has anointed me to

00:00:37.493 --> 00:00:39.173
bring good news to the poor.

00:00:39.893 --> 00:00:44.723
He has sent me to proclaim that captives
will be released, that the blind will see,

00:00:45.233 --> 00:00:50.543
that the oppressed will be set free, and
at the time of the Lord's favor has come.

00:00:51.713 --> 00:00:56.873
He rolled up the scroll, handed it back
to the attendant, and sat down all eyes

00:00:56.873 --> 00:01:00.863
in the synagogue, looked at him intently,
and then he began to speak to them.

00:01:01.553 --> 00:01:06.053
The scripture you've just heard
has been fulfilled this very day.

00:01:07.283 --> 00:01:10.223
Everyone spoke well of him
and was amazed by the gracious

00:01:10.223 --> 00:01:11.723
words that came from his lips.

00:01:12.143 --> 00:01:13.283
How can this be?

00:01:13.643 --> 00:01:16.133
They asked, isn't this Joseph's son?

00:01:16.703 --> 00:01:22.028
Then he said, You will undoubtedly
quote me this proverb, physician heal

00:01:22.028 --> 00:01:27.638
yourself, meaning do miracles here in your
hometown, like those you did in Capernaum.

00:01:28.478 --> 00:01:32.768
But I tell you the truth, no prophet
is accepted in his own hometown.

00:01:32.768 --> 00:01:37.178
The, certainly there were many
needy widows in Israel and Elijah's

00:01:37.178 --> 00:01:41.408
time when the heavens were closed
for three and a half years, and a

00:01:41.408 --> 00:01:43.508
severe famine devastated the land.

00:01:44.108 --> 00:01:46.058
Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them.

00:01:46.823 --> 00:01:51.713
He was sent instead to a foreigner, a
widow of Zarephath in the land of Saan,

00:01:52.403 --> 00:01:56.573
and many in Israel had leprosy in the
time of the prophet Elisha, but the

00:01:56.573 --> 00:01:59.063
only one healed was Neiman Assyrian.

00:02:00.323 --> 00:02:04.733
When they heard this, the people in
the synagogue were furious, jumping up.

00:02:04.913 --> 00:02:08.723
They mobbed him and forced him to the edge
of the hill on which the town was built.

00:02:09.383 --> 00:02:13.133
They intended to push him over the
cliff, but he passed right through

00:02:13.133 --> 00:02:15.173
the crowd and went on his way.

00:02:16.823 --> 00:02:20.963
Then Jesus went to Capernaum, a town
in Galilee and taught there in the

00:02:20.963 --> 00:02:23.753
synagogue every Sabbath day there too.

00:02:23.783 --> 00:02:27.473
The people were amazed at his
teaching for he spoke with authority

00:02:28.283 --> 00:02:29.783
once when he was in the synagogue.

00:02:29.963 --> 00:02:35.153
A man possessed by a demon, an evil
spirit, cried out, shouting, go away.

00:02:35.453 --> 00:02:37.253
Why are you interfering with us?

00:02:37.253 --> 00:02:40.583
Jesus of Nazareth, have
you come to destroy us?

00:02:41.153 --> 00:02:44.543
I know who you are, the holy one of God.

00:02:45.293 --> 00:02:46.733
But Jesus reprimanded him.

00:02:47.333 --> 00:02:48.113
Be quiet.

00:02:48.413 --> 00:02:49.673
Come out of the man.

00:02:49.913 --> 00:02:55.763
He ordered at that the demon threw the man
to the floor as the crowd watched, then

00:02:55.763 --> 00:02:57.323
it came out of him without hurting him.

00:02:57.323 --> 00:03:01.913
Further amazed the people
exclaimed what authority and

00:03:01.918 --> 00:03:03.983
power this man's words possess.

00:03:04.433 --> 00:03:08.273
Even evil spirits obey him
and they flee at his command.

00:03:09.203 --> 00:03:12.953
The news about Jesus spread through
every village in the entire region.

00:03:14.183 --> 00:03:18.053
After leaving the synagogue that
day, Jesus went to Simon's home

00:03:18.413 --> 00:03:21.503
where he found Simon's mother-in-law,
very sick with a high fever.

00:03:22.163 --> 00:03:23.093
Please heal her.

00:03:23.093 --> 00:03:26.183
Everyone begged standing at her bedside.

00:03:26.273 --> 00:03:30.563
He rebuked the fever and had
left her and she'd got up at once

00:03:30.713 --> 00:03:31.973
and prepared a meal for them.

00:03:32.943 --> 00:03:34.733
As the son went down that evening.

00:03:35.093 --> 00:03:38.183
People throughout the village
brought sick family members to Jesus.

00:03:38.888 --> 00:03:43.358
No matter what their diseases were,
the touch of his hand healed everyone.

00:03:44.288 --> 00:03:48.128
Many were possessed by demons, and
the demons came out at his command

00:03:48.188 --> 00:03:50.858
shouting, you are the son of God.

00:03:51.758 --> 00:03:55.778
But because they knew he was
the Messiah, he rebuked them and

00:03:55.778 --> 00:03:59.258
refused to let them speak early.

00:03:59.318 --> 00:04:01.868
The next morning, Jesus went
out to an isolated place.

00:04:02.573 --> 00:04:06.713
The crowd searched everywhere for him,
and when they finally found him, they

00:04:06.713 --> 00:04:11.933
begged him not to leave them, but he
replied, I must preach the good news

00:04:11.933 --> 00:04:16.373
of the Kingdom of God and other towns
too, because that is why I was sent.

00:04:17.183 --> 00:04:21.683
So he continued to travel around
preaching in synagogues throughout Judea.

00:04:23.693 --> 00:04:26.963
One day, as Jesus was preaching on
the shore of the Sea of Galilee,

00:04:27.323 --> 00:04:30.383
great crowds pressed in on him
to listen to the word of God.

00:04:31.178 --> 00:04:34.658
He noticed two empty boats at the
water's edge for the fishermen had

00:04:34.658 --> 00:04:38.678
left them and were washing their
nets, stepping into one of the boats.

00:04:38.888 --> 00:04:43.628
Jesus asked Simon its owner to push
it out into the water, so he sat

00:04:43.628 --> 00:04:45.368
in the boat and taught the crowds.

00:04:45.373 --> 00:04:50.108
From there the, when he had finished
speaking, he said to Simon, no,

00:04:50.108 --> 00:04:53.858
go out where it is deeper and let
down your nets to catch some fish.

00:04:54.908 --> 00:05:00.038
Master Simon replied, we worked hard
all last night and didn't catch a thing.

00:05:00.638 --> 00:05:03.518
But if you say so, I'll
let the nets down again.

00:05:04.418 --> 00:05:08.588
And this time, their nets were so full
of fish, they began to tear a shout for

00:05:08.588 --> 00:05:12.398
help, brought their partners in the other
boat, and soon both boats were filled

00:05:12.398 --> 00:05:14.588
with fish and on the verge of sinking.

00:05:15.428 --> 00:05:19.358
When Simon Peter realized what had
happened, he fell to his knees before

00:05:19.358 --> 00:05:22.838
Jesus and said, oh Lord, please leave me.

00:05:23.018 --> 00:05:24.398
I'm such a sinful man.

00:05:25.088 --> 00:05:27.758
For he was awestruck by the
number of fish they had caught,

00:05:28.178 --> 00:05:29.438
as were the others with him.

00:05:29.948 --> 00:05:34.838
His partners, James and John, the
sons of Zedi, were also amazed.

00:05:35.948 --> 00:05:39.248
Jesus replied to Simon, don't be afraid.

00:05:39.668 --> 00:05:44.048
From now on you'll be fishing for
people that as soon as they landed,

00:05:44.228 --> 00:05:46.448
they left everything and followed Jesus.

00:05:46.828 --> 00:05:52.208
In one of the villages, Jesus met a
man with an advanced case of leprosy.

00:05:52.958 --> 00:05:58.208
When the man saw Jesus, he bowed with his
face to the ground begging to be healed.

00:05:58.748 --> 00:05:59.288
Lord.

00:05:59.288 --> 00:06:03.758
He said, if you are willing, you
can heal me and make me clean.

00:06:04.628 --> 00:06:06.668
Jesus reached out and touched him.

00:06:07.298 --> 00:06:08.318
I am willing.

00:06:08.348 --> 00:06:14.018
He said, be healed, and instantly
the leprosy disappeared.

00:06:14.768 --> 00:06:17.738
Then Jesus instructed him not to
tell anyone what had happened.

00:06:18.308 --> 00:06:21.638
He said, go to the priest
and let him examine you.

00:06:22.568 --> 00:06:25.868
Take along the offering required
in the law of Moses for those

00:06:25.873 --> 00:06:27.368
who have been healed of leprosy.

00:06:27.968 --> 00:06:31.088
This will be a public testimony
that you have been cleansed.

00:06:32.108 --> 00:06:36.518
But despite Jesus' instructions, the
report of his power spread even faster.

00:06:37.028 --> 00:06:41.408
And vast crowds came to hear him preach
and to be healed of their diseases.

00:06:42.278 --> 00:06:45.338
But Jesus often withdrew to
the wilderness for prayer.

00:06:46.538 --> 00:06:50.138
One day while Jesus was teaching,
some Pharisees and teachers of

00:06:50.138 --> 00:06:51.668
religious law were sitting nearby.

00:06:52.493 --> 00:06:55.613
It seemed that these men showed up
from every village in all Galilee

00:06:55.613 --> 00:06:57.833
and Judea, as well as from Jerusalem.

00:06:58.703 --> 00:07:02.123
And the Lord's healing power
was strongly with Jesus.

00:07:03.143 --> 00:07:06.293
Some men came carrying a
paralyzed man on a sleeping mat.

00:07:06.803 --> 00:07:10.613
They tried to take him inside to Jesus,
but they couldn't reach him because of

00:07:10.643 --> 00:07:15.443
the crowd, so they went up to the roof
and took off some tiles, and then they

00:07:15.443 --> 00:07:19.943
lowered the sick man on his mat down
into the crowd right in front of Jesus.

00:07:20.633 --> 00:07:26.573
Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the
man, young man, your sins are forgiven.

00:07:27.623 --> 00:07:31.193
But the Pharisees and teachers of
religious law said to themselves,

00:07:31.433 --> 00:07:33.083
who does he think he is?

00:07:33.593 --> 00:07:34.823
That's blasphemy.

00:07:35.153 --> 00:07:37.253
Only God can forgive sins.

00:07:38.273 --> 00:07:42.203
Jesus knew what they were thinking,
so he asked them, why do you

00:07:42.203 --> 00:07:43.793
question this in your hearts?

00:07:44.393 --> 00:07:49.013
Is it easier to say your sins are
forgiven or stand up and walk?

00:07:49.883 --> 00:07:52.733
So I will prove to you that the
son of man has the authority

00:07:52.733 --> 00:07:54.473
on earth to forgive sins.

00:07:55.403 --> 00:07:59.123
Then Jesus turned to the
paralyzed man and said, stand up.

00:07:59.423 --> 00:08:01.433
Pick up your mat, and go home.

00:08:02.483 --> 00:08:06.473
And immediately as everyone watched,
the man jumped up, picked up his

00:08:06.478 --> 00:08:08.873
mat, and went home praising God.

00:08:09.473 --> 00:08:15.083
Everyone was gripped with great wonder
and awe, and they praised God exclaiming.

00:08:15.623 --> 00:08:18.023
We have seen amazing things today.

00:08:19.628 --> 00:08:19.988
Later.

00:08:19.988 --> 00:08:24.188
As Jesus left the town, he saw a
tax collector named Levi sitting

00:08:24.188 --> 00:08:25.538
at his tax collector's booth.

00:08:26.348 --> 00:08:28.148
Follow me and be my disciple.

00:08:28.508 --> 00:08:33.098
Jesus said to him, so Levi got up,
left everything and followed him.

00:08:33.998 --> 00:08:37.748
Later, Levi held a banquet in his
home with Jesus as a guest of honor.

00:08:38.618 --> 00:08:42.938
Many of Levi's fellow tax collectors
and other guests also ate with them.

00:08:43.583 --> 00:08:47.393
But the Pharisees and their teachers
of religious law complained bitterly

00:08:47.393 --> 00:08:52.013
to Jesus disciples, why do you
eat and drink with such scum?

00:08:52.703 --> 00:08:53.603
Jesus answered them.

00:08:54.443 --> 00:08:56.363
Healthy people don't need a doctor.

00:08:56.903 --> 00:09:00.803
Sick people do I have come to
call, not those who think they are

00:09:00.803 --> 00:09:05.003
righteous, but those who know they
are sinners and need to repent.

00:09:06.863 --> 00:09:11.273
One day some people said to Jesus,
John the Baptists disciples fast

00:09:11.273 --> 00:09:14.693
and pray regularly, and so do
the disciples of the Pharisees.

00:09:15.113 --> 00:09:17.963
Why are your disciples
always eating and drinking?

00:09:18.863 --> 00:09:19.973
Jesus responded.

00:09:20.543 --> 00:09:23.603
Do wedding guests fast while
celebrating with the groom?

00:09:24.143 --> 00:09:27.983
Of course not, but someday the
groom will be taken away from

00:09:27.983 --> 00:09:30.293
them and then they will fast.

00:09:31.073 --> 00:09:32.993
Then Jesus gave them this illustration.

00:09:33.863 --> 00:09:37.253
No one tears a piece of cloth
from a new garment and uses

00:09:37.253 --> 00:09:38.483
it to patch an old garment.

00:09:39.203 --> 00:09:42.803
For then the new garment would be
ruined and the new patch wouldn't

00:09:42.803 --> 00:09:44.243
even match the old garment.

00:09:45.203 --> 00:09:49.943
And no one puts new wine into old
wine skins for the new wine would

00:09:49.943 --> 00:09:53.813
burst the wine skins spilling
the wine and ruining the skins.

00:09:54.653 --> 00:09:59.453
New wine must be stored in new wine
skins, but no one who drinks the

00:09:59.453 --> 00:10:01.913
old wine seems to want the new wine.

00:10:02.633 --> 00:10:04.223
The old is just fine.

00:10:04.283 --> 00:10:09.203
They say One Sabbath day, as Jesus
was walking through some grain

00:10:09.203 --> 00:10:13.403
fields, his disciples broke off,
heads of grain, rubbed off the husks

00:10:13.408 --> 00:10:15.443
in their hands and ate the grain.

00:10:16.013 --> 00:10:19.493
But some Pharisees said, why
are you breaking the law by

00:10:19.493 --> 00:10:21.173
harvesting grain on the Sabbath?

00:10:21.503 --> 00:10:26.003
Jesus replied, haven't you read in
the scriptures what David did when

00:10:26.003 --> 00:10:27.593
he and his companions were hungry?

00:10:28.358 --> 00:10:32.888
He went into the house of God and broke
the law by eating the sacred loaves of

00:10:32.888 --> 00:10:35.108
bread that only the priests can eat.

00:10:35.648 --> 00:10:41.498
He also gave some to his companions
and Jesus added the son of man is Lord.

00:10:41.858 --> 00:10:48.428
Even over the Sabbath, a another Sabbath
day, a man with a deformed right hand

00:10:48.428 --> 00:10:53.348
was in the synagogue while Jesus was
teaching the teachers of religious law

00:10:53.408 --> 00:10:55.898
and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely.

00:10:56.603 --> 00:11:01.013
If he healed the man's hand, they plan
to accuse him of working on the Sabbath.

00:11:02.123 --> 00:11:03.623
But Jesus knew their thoughts.

00:11:04.013 --> 00:11:08.543
He said to the man with a deformed hand
come and stand in front of everyone.

00:11:09.233 --> 00:11:10.493
So the man came forward.

00:11:11.033 --> 00:11:14.453
Then Jesus said to his critics,
I have a question for you.

00:11:14.933 --> 00:11:17.273
Does the law permit good
deeds on the Sabbath?

00:11:17.693 --> 00:11:19.463
Or is it a day for doing evil?

00:11:20.003 --> 00:11:22.703
Is this a day to save
life or to destroy it?

00:11:23.903 --> 00:11:28.553
He looked around at them one by one and
then said to the man, hold out your hand.

00:11:29.333 --> 00:11:34.733
So the man held out his hand and it
was restored that this, the enemies

00:11:34.733 --> 00:11:39.233
of Jesus were wild with rage and
began to discuss what to do with him

00:11:41.663 --> 00:11:45.623
one day soon afterward, Jesus went
up on a mountain to pray and he

00:11:45.623 --> 00:11:48.443
prayed to God all night at Daybreak.

00:11:48.443 --> 00:11:52.823
He called together all of his disciples
and chose 12 of them to be apostles.

00:11:53.603 --> 00:11:59.633
Here are their names Simon whom he
named Peter Andrew Peter's brother

00:12:00.293 --> 00:12:08.063
James John Philip Bartholomew,
Matthew Thomas James son of Alphi

00:12:08.603 --> 00:12:10.343
Simon, who was called the zealot.

00:12:11.003 --> 00:12:13.133
Judas son of James Ju.

00:12:13.133 --> 00:12:15.683
Judas Iscariot, who later betrayed him.

00:12:17.468 --> 00:12:21.518
When they came down from the mountain,
the disciples stood with Jesus on a

00:12:21.518 --> 00:12:26.198
large level area, surrounded by many
of his followers and by the crowds.

00:12:27.008 --> 00:12:31.208
There were people from all over Judea
and from Jerusalem, and from as far

00:12:31.208 --> 00:12:34.088
north as the Seacoast of Tyre and sadden.

00:12:34.408 --> 00:12:38.528
They had come to hear him and to be
healed of their diseases, and those

00:12:38.528 --> 00:12:40.478
troubled by evil spirits were healed.

00:12:41.303 --> 00:12:44.303
Everyone tried to touch him
because healing power went out

00:12:44.303 --> 00:12:46.253
from him and he healed everyone.

00:12:47.303 --> 00:12:52.853
Then Jesus turned to his disciples and
said, God blesses you who are poor.

00:12:53.363 --> 00:12:55.343
For the kingdom of God is yours.

00:12:56.033 --> 00:13:00.173
God blesses you who are hungry
now for you will be satisfied.

00:13:00.923 --> 00:13:02.513
God blesses you who weep.

00:13:02.513 --> 00:13:05.453
Now for in due time you will laugh.

00:13:06.773 --> 00:13:10.103
What blessings await you when
people hate you and exclude you

00:13:10.373 --> 00:13:14.393
and mock you and curse you as evil
because you follow the son of man.

00:13:14.933 --> 00:13:16.943
When that happens, be happy.

00:13:17.483 --> 00:13:17.903
Yes.

00:13:17.903 --> 00:13:21.923
Leap for joy, for a great
reward, awaits you in heaven.

00:13:22.463 --> 00:13:26.543
And remember their ancestors treated
the ancient prophets that same way.

00:13:27.593 --> 00:13:32.483
What sorrow awaits you, who are rich
for you, have your only happiness now.

00:13:33.488 --> 00:13:37.718
What sorrow awaits you who are
fat and prosperous now for a

00:13:37.718 --> 00:13:39.758
time of awful hunger awaits you.

00:13:40.448 --> 00:13:43.898
What sorrow awaits you who
laugh now for your laughing will

00:13:43.898 --> 00:13:45.638
turn to mourning and sorrow.

00:13:46.568 --> 00:13:50.618
What sorrow awaits you, who are
praised by the crowds for their

00:13:50.618 --> 00:13:53.438
ancestors also praised false prophets.

00:13:54.668 --> 00:13:58.958
But to you who are willing to
listen, I say love your enemies.

00:13:59.468 --> 00:14:01.178
Do good to those who hate you.

00:14:01.748 --> 00:14:03.248
Bless those who curse you.

00:14:03.728 --> 00:14:05.258
Pray for those who hurt you.

00:14:05.948 --> 00:14:08.978
If someone slaps you on one
cheek, offer the other cheek.

00:14:08.978 --> 00:14:12.638
Also, if someone demands
your coat, offer your shirt.

00:14:12.728 --> 00:14:17.588
Also give to anyone who asks and when
things are taken away from you, don't

00:14:17.588 --> 00:14:22.268
try to get them back due to others
as you would like them to do to you.

00:14:23.258 --> 00:14:27.008
If you love only those who love you,
why should you get credit for that?

00:14:27.518 --> 00:14:29.558
Even sinners love those who love them.

00:14:30.473 --> 00:14:35.153
And if you do good only to those who do
good to you, why should you get credit?

00:14:35.723 --> 00:14:37.343
Even sinners do that much.

00:14:38.063 --> 00:14:42.323
And if you lend money only to those who
can repay you, why should you get credit?

00:14:42.953 --> 00:14:46.163
Even sinners will lend to other
sinners for a full return.

00:14:47.063 --> 00:14:48.353
Love your enemies.

00:14:48.623 --> 00:14:52.673
Do good to them, lend to them
without expecting to be repaid.

00:14:53.558 --> 00:14:58.028
Then your reward from heaven will be very
great, and you will truly be acting as

00:14:58.033 --> 00:15:02.858
children of the most high for he's kind
to those who are unthankful and wicked.

00:15:03.758 --> 00:15:05.318
You must be compassionate.

00:15:05.648 --> 00:15:07.658
Just as your father is compassionate.

00:15:08.528 --> 00:15:11.408
Do not judge others and
you will not be judged.

00:15:11.858 --> 00:15:16.118
Do not condemn others, or it'll
all come back against you, forgive

00:15:16.118 --> 00:15:18.188
others, and you will be forgiven.

00:15:18.878 --> 00:15:21.128
Give and you will receive.

00:15:21.683 --> 00:15:27.413
Your gift will return to you in full press
down shaken together to make room for more

00:15:27.713 --> 00:15:30.083
running over and poured into your lap.

00:15:30.713 --> 00:15:33.803
The amount you give will
determine the amount you get back.

00:15:34.973 --> 00:15:37.193
Then Jesus gave the
following illustration.

00:15:37.853 --> 00:15:39.833
Can one blind person lead another?

00:15:40.253 --> 00:15:42.023
Won't they both fall into a ditch?

00:15:42.623 --> 00:15:46.703
Students are not greater than their
teacher, but the student who is fully

00:15:46.703 --> 00:15:48.863
trained will become like the teacher.

00:15:49.883 --> 00:15:52.973
And why worry about a speck
in your friend's eye when

00:15:52.973 --> 00:15:54.413
you have a log in your own?

00:15:55.013 --> 00:15:58.313
How can you think of saying,
friend, let me help you.

00:15:58.318 --> 00:16:00.173
Get rid of that speck in your eye.

00:16:00.593 --> 00:16:04.343
When you can't see past the
log in your own eye hypocrite.

00:16:05.063 --> 00:16:07.133
First, get rid of a log in your own eye.

00:16:07.673 --> 00:16:11.123
Then you will see well enough to deal
with the speck in your friend's eye.

00:16:12.773 --> 00:16:17.783
A good tree can't produce bad fruit and
a bad tree can't produce good fruit.

00:16:18.413 --> 00:16:20.753
A tree is identified by its fruit.

00:16:21.443 --> 00:16:24.563
Figs are never gathered from
thorn bushes and grapes are

00:16:24.563 --> 00:16:26.123
not picked from bramble bushes.

00:16:26.993 --> 00:16:31.223
A good person produces good things
from the treasury of a good heart, and

00:16:31.223 --> 00:16:35.243
an evil person produces evil things
from the treasury of an evil heart.

00:16:36.143 --> 00:16:38.633
What you say flows from
what is in your heart.

00:16:40.193 --> 00:16:45.143
So why do you keep calling me, Lord,
Lord, when you don't do what I say?

00:16:45.953 --> 00:16:49.403
I'll show you what it's like when
someone comes to me, listens to

00:16:49.403 --> 00:16:51.413
my teaching, and then follows it.

00:16:52.133 --> 00:16:55.823
It is like a person building
a house who digs deep and lays

00:16:55.828 --> 00:16:57.563
the foundation on solid rock.

00:16:58.373 --> 00:17:02.003
When the floodwaters rise and
break against that house, it stands

00:17:02.008 --> 00:17:03.893
firm because it is well-built.

00:17:04.523 --> 00:17:09.473
But anyone who hears and doesn't obey is
like a person who builds a house right

00:17:09.473 --> 00:17:11.633
on the ground without a foundation.

00:17:12.293 --> 00:17:15.383
When the floods sweep down
against that house, it will

00:17:15.383 --> 00:17:17.333
collapse into a heap of ruins.

00:17:19.073 --> 00:17:21.923
This concludes today's
Immer reading experience.

00:17:22.043 --> 00:17:23.063
