So it's a different Greek word for see.

And then the third one, the third one is that John sees and believes.

And that's in verse eight.

And that word is to understand something finally.

And it's funny because John says in his book, in the verse, in verse nine, he says,

They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.

And you read the text that Peter quotes in Acts 2 from Psalms where it talked about his body would not see decay.

That's a great point, Zach.

In fact, it reminded me of a text I read in my sermon yesterday,

from zechariah 6 when he says tell him what the lord almighty says here's the man whose name is the branch he will branch out from his place and build the temple of the lord it is he who will build the temple of lord and he will be clothed with majesty and will sit and rule on his throne and he will be a priest on the throne and there will be harmony between the two and it's another old testament picture which is quite a bit later of course with the minor prophets with zechariah

But he's painting the same picture you just described way back in Leviticus.

This idea that in Jesus you had both a king and a high priest, even in that moment, which is very powerful, which I said that was the coronation of Jesus as king was his resurrection.

And and then the rain is the ascension.

So, I mean, it's just right there.

You see the whole thing.

in that he can bring people out from under not only suffering but death itself all these signs of death can be gone oh yeah which is powerful i had never i had never thought about that pictures of the two angels on the end of that slab i mean yeah we talked about that earlier i thought about that i don't remember that that but that's a that's a beautiful i'll tell you what's interesting i it's so funny how how much of this really does go into the term we

Yeah, that guy was the embodiment of that verse nine.

He didn't understand from the scriptures.

Well, yeah.

Jace, we've all been through it at some point.
