1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: Let us pray, and he, casting away his garment, rose 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: and came to Jesus, Mark ten fifty. Jesus, when I 3 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: begin to doubt whether I am good enough to walk 4 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 1: with you, I thank you that you remind me that 5 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: you came to die for me. You remind me that 6 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: I have been bought with your blood. Therefore, my worth 7 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: doesn't come from what others think, but from what you 8 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 1: have declared over my life. As I begin to walk 9 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 1: in my confidence, when I begin to press towards your presence, 10 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:45,639 Speaker 1: give me the faith and boldness of blind Bartimaeus, who 11 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 1: would not allow the silencing and ridicule of the crowd 12 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: to stop him from receiving his blessing. Every time I 13 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: face rejection from others, I declare that I will shout 14 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: even louder. When one door closes on me, I will 15 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: boldly go to the next, because I trust that what 16 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: you've placed in me will be released through me. Give 17 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: me the power of persistence and the ability to know 18 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: that what is mine is mine, and nothing or no 19 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: one will be able to stop what you are doing 20 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: in my life. I am worth it, and I am 21 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: valuable enough to be entrusted with what you've placed in 22 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 1: me and over my life in Jesus name. Amen. Thank 23 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: you for making prayer a priority in your day. To 24 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: learn more about the Bible, stay tuned for today's story, 25 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: brought to you by Bible in a Year dot. 26 00:01:48,640 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 2: Com, Zechius and Bodimius. In our last story, worry the 27 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 2: sting of death was thwarted when Jesus rose Lazarus from 28 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: the dead with tears in his eyes and a booming voice. 29 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 2: Jesus called Lazarus out of the tomb and into life. 30 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 2: Now we learn about two men who followed Jesus, one 31 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 2: a rich tax collector with a checkered past, the other 32 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 2: a blind beggar with an inability to take no for 33 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,119 Speaker 2: an answer. Inspired by the Gospels. 34 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 3: Hello, I'm pastor Jack Graham with today's episode of the 35 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 3: Bible in a Year. In our last episode, we heard 36 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 3: of the miraculous resurrection of Lazarus, whom Jesus commanded to 37 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,640 Speaker 3: rise up and walk out of the tomb, despite the 38 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 3: fact that he had been dead for four days. It 39 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 3: was an amazing show of the power of God over 40 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 3: death that Jesus and Jesus only can raise the dead. Today, 41 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 3: we're going to see how Jesus encounters two different kinds 42 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 3: of men, but he opens each of their eyes. Both 43 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 3: men will be offered an opportunity for a new life 44 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 3: of purpose as they followed the Lord. So let's listen 45 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 3: to God's word. 46 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 2: Jesus was passing through the city of Jericho. A sea 47 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 2: of people thrashed him about, struggling to catch a glimpse 48 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 2: of Jesus. The crowds were becoming so many in number 49 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: that one could barely even point out Jesus and the masses. 50 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 2: Among the throng of people was a tax collector named Zachius. 51 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 2: Jesus entrigued him. He wanted to see what Jesus was doing. 52 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 2: He wanted to hear what Jesus was saying, and he 53 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 2: was willing to do so at all costs. He was 54 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 2: a small man, therefore had no way of seeing Jesus 55 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 2: unless he got creative. So as Jesus was walking, Zichius 56 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: ran ahead to climb a sycamore tree. He dangled below 57 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 2: the branches and lifted himself up. Then, just as he 58 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 2: was beginning to get a good glimpse of Jesus, he 59 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 2: fell to the ground. A few branches cracked underneath Zechius 60 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: He rolled his toes to me make sure there was 61 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 2: no damage. Then he sprung back up to his feet 62 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 2: and climbed the tree again. This time he lost track 63 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 2: of Jesus. The crowd was so large that Jesus seemed lost. 64 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: Then a voice came from the ground below Zychius. The 65 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 2: voice shouted. The tax collector darted his head in every direction, 66 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 2: trying to pinpoint who was calling his name. Zakias, The 67 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 2: voice yelled again, what are you doing up there? He 68 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 2: darted his eyes directly below him to see Jesus waving 69 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 2: up at him. Come down from there. I need to 70 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,119 Speaker 2: stay at your home today. How does he know my name? 71 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 2: Zakius thought to himself. How would Jesus know who I am? 72 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 2: Zakius's attempt to climb down was clumsy and over excited. 73 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: He got his leg caught in a branch, tore apart 74 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,239 Speaker 2: of his robe, and got leaves stuck in his beard. However, 75 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 2: he could not be more excited to host Jesus in 76 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 2: his home. The small tax collector grinned cheek to cheek 77 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: As they were walking. Jesus could hear a few people 78 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 2: grumbling and whispering. He is a guest in the house 79 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 2: of a sinner. They hissed to themselves. Zacchius could feel 80 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 2: the judgment of others as he led Jesus to his home. 81 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: Was he worthy to house Jesus? Was he a good 82 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 2: enough man? These questions raced through his mind. Doubt and 83 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 2: fear welled up within him. But then he remembered some 84 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 2: of the teachings he heard from Jesus. He remembered the 85 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 2: parabole of the pearl in a field. He remembered the 86 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 2: Sermon on the Mount. So Zacchius decided to take action. 87 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 2: He stood up before Jesus and raised his cup. My Lord, 88 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 2: Zachius declared, I have decided to give half of my 89 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: goods to the poor, and if there is anything I 90 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 2: took by greed or defrauding, I will restore it to 91 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 2: that person fourfold. Jesus raised his cup to Zechius. To day, 92 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 2: salvation has come to your household, Jesus said, for the 93 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 2: Son of God is come to seek and save those 94 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 2: that are lost. The next day, Jesus was walking into Jericho. 95 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 2: The gates were wide and filled with venders trying to 96 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 2: sell things for an approaching passover. Jesus spoke to some 97 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 2: of the people who were walking beside him. Begging. At 98 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 2: the side of the gate was a blind man named 99 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 2: Bardimieas he could hear a stirring in the crowds beside 100 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 2: the gate, and asked what the commotion was. It is 101 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 2: Jesus of Nazareth. The man replied. Baramias stood to his 102 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 2: feet and ran as fast as he could toward the crowd. 103 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 2: The blind man knocked down fruit carts and broke baskets 104 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: under his feet. Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me, 105 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 2: he shouted. Some men in the crowd shoved him to 106 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: the ground, but Baromius was determined. He burst through the 107 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 2: men and flailed through the crowds. Some others tried to 108 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 2: hold him by his robe, but he simply threw it off. Jesus, 109 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,799 Speaker 2: son of David, have mercy on me, Baramias roared. Jesus 110 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 2: nodded to his disciples, go and get him for me. 111 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 2: So the disciples brought him near. Barimias bruised from the 112 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 2: crowd trying to shut him up, but on his face 113 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 2: he wore the largest grin in all of Israel. Jesus 114 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 2: matched his grin and said, what can I do for you? 115 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 2: Bartomias fell to his knees. Please, Rabbi, I desire to 116 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 2: see the skies again. I desire to see the waters, 117 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 2: the trees, and the birds. Please restore my sight to me. 118 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 2: Jesus held the man to his feet. Go your way, Botomias. 119 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 2: Your faith has made you well, And in that instant 120 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 2: the beggar's sight was restored. Colors, shapes, and movements surrounded him. 121 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 2: Lights shone brightly, and the figure of Jesus's smiles slowly 122 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 2: came into focus. Bartimius did not return to his home. 123 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 2: He followed Jesus. There was no one else he would 124 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 2: rather see. 125 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 3: Today, in our story of Jesus, he is in the 126 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 3: city of Jericho. This town is known for the great 127 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,239 Speaker 3: Old Testament battle, in which God brought the walls down 128 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 3: to give his people victory. But today our reading tells 129 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 3: not of physical walls, but of spiritual walls that come down, 130 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 3: the walls that separate us from God and each other. 131 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 3: First we meet a man of small stature and even 132 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 3: smaller regard for his community. His name, this wee little man, 133 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 3: is Zachias, and he is a hated tax collector. All 134 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 3: tax collectors were disliked by the Jews in that day. 135 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 3: As they were working for the oppressive Roman government and 136 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 3: they were taking a cut for themselves. They used to 137 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 3: charge exorbitant taxes and skim off the top for their 138 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 3: own personal gain. They were considered traders and cheaters and thieves. 139 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,679 Speaker 3: Zachias was one such man. His dishonesty and deceit made 140 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 3: him very wealthy, but of course he was not respected. 141 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 3: In fact, he was hated. And yet we discovered that 142 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 3: he wanted to catch a glimpse of Jesus as he 143 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: was passing through his town. But he had a big problem, 144 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 3: and that was his little stature, and he had no 145 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 3: friends to help him get through the crowd or see 146 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 3: over the crowd. There was little hope that he could 147 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 3: ever catch a glimpse of Jesus. Among the throngs of 148 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 3: people who were lining the streets, it was like a 149 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 3: parade as Jesus came through. But Zachias has a plan. 150 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 3: He climbs up the branches of a sycamore tree to 151 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 3: get a vantage point where he can see Jesus going by, 152 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 3: And to his great surprise, when Jesus comes his way, 153 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 3: the Lord doesn't walk by, he looks up and calls 154 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 3: him by name, and says, Zachias, come down, for I'm 155 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 3: going to stay at your house today. What an amazing 156 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 3: turn of events for this man, and no doubt for 157 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 3: everyone in the crowd. Can't you just hear the grumblings 158 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 3: among the religious people and their followers and also all 159 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 3: the townspeople that Jesus would pay attention to this hated man. 160 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 3: How could this dishonest, deceiful man manage to get an 161 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 3: audience with Jesus, And why would Jesus a with a 162 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 3: man like this guy. Zachias excitedly came down the tree 163 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 3: and ran to prepare his home to receive the Lord. 164 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 3: It was an encounter that changed the rest of his life. 165 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 3: Zachiah stood and told the Lord that he was going 166 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 3: to make right what he had done to defraud people 167 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 3: of their money, and not just that, he was going 168 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 3: to give half of his great wealth to the poor. 169 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 3: Jesus said, Zachias, Salvation has come to your house, for 170 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 3: the son of man, Jesus has come to seek and 171 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 3: to save the loss. This is a very important statement 172 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 3: that Jesus made. In fact, it is his mission. It 173 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 3: is his mission statement. This is why Jesus came to 174 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 3: seek and to save the loss. So the meaning of 175 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 3: this man in Jesus was a personal encounter with the 176 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 3: Son of God that changed the heart of a very 177 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 3: broken man forever. When Jesus saw him, he called him 178 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 3: by name, and Zachias's spirit eyes were open to the need, 179 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 3: his need of a savior. His heart was changed, and 180 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 3: his life was changed, and he began to give to 181 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 3: others out of generous gratitude to God. Now remember this 182 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 3: about salvation, what it means to be saved from our sins. 183 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 3: We don't do this for ourselves. This is the gift 184 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 3: of God. But once we become believers and followers of 185 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 3: the Lord, our hearts and our lives are transformed. If 186 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 3: anyone is in Christ, the Bible says he is a 187 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 3: new creation. That's Second Corinthians five seventeen. And when we 188 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 3: come to faith in Jesus, we follow him and become 189 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 3: more like him by the power of the Holy Spirit. 190 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 3: Next we hear about a man named Bartimaeus who heard 191 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 3: Jesus was coming to his town. The man set by 192 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 3: the roadside in darkness. He was desperate for someone to help, 193 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 3: so he began to cry out again and again to Jesus. 194 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 3: Those all around him tried to shut him down, shut 195 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 3: him up, but he didn't listen. He kept saying, Jesus, 196 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 3: son of David, have mercy on me. Hearing his christ, 197 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 3: Jesus asked for the man to be brought to him, 198 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,559 Speaker 3: and then in Mark ten, verse fifty one, he asked 199 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 3: an unusual question, and Jesus said to him, what do 200 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 3: you want me to do for you? This man was blind, 201 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 3: so his need was obvious, but still Jesus asked, what 202 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 3: do you want? Why would he do that? Jesus wanted 203 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 3: to know if this man was believing in him, trusting 204 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 3: in him. God is pleased when we show faith by 205 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 3: asking for what we need. He of course knows what 206 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 3: we need before we ask. But when we ask, we 207 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 3: are showing faith. This is what happens when we pray, 208 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 3: we are trusting God. The blind man shows that he 209 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 3: had faith and asked for his sight to be restored, 210 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 3: and Jesus said, your faith has made you well, just 211 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 3: as it was with zacha Is. This man's response in 212 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 3: faith brought him restoration and the healing of his eyes 213 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 3: and the opening of his heart. His eyes were open 214 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 3: and so was his heart, and he began to follow 215 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 3: Jesus then and there and his life was transformed for 216 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 3: the glory of God. Let's pray thank you Lord that, 217 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 3: like Zachias, we were lost without you, but you found us. 218 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 3: You called our name and we came to you. And 219 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 3: like that blind man Bartimaeus, we could not see you, 220 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 3: but we believed in you. The world says seeing is believing, 221 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 3: but we know you say believing is seeing. So Lord, 222 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 3: we look to you and in faith we trust you 223 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 3: and follow you with all of our hearts.
