Thank you for every one of these moments that we get and every one of these clips, I guess, images we have of Jesus here in Mark's gospel. Thank you for Mark. Thank you for Peter who taught Mark this. And thank you for you, Lord God, because you are deserving of all thanks and all praise and everything. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen. Okay, a couple things to... highlight, we just have two chapters today. Obviously we have chapters three and chapter four, but one of the things I want to just kind of go through and maybe make a couple of quick points. The first is here is the story of the man with the withered hand. This is in chapter three, right? Right.

And it says, Jesus asks them, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to kill? Now, you know this because you've been journeying through the Bible for the last 155 days. And so you know that in the old covenant, you can save life on the Sabbath. This is a real thing. It says then this, it says, but they were silent and he looked around at them with anger and
