| 0:00.0 | This week on The Word of the Lord Endures Forever, we dig further into St. Luke's Gospel with Peter, |
| 0:05.7 | Denys, mockery, and the council, Jesus before Pilate, Jesus before Herod, and not this man but |
| 0:13.6 | Barabbas. Join me, Pastor Will Whedon, for The Word of the Lord Endures Forever, your daily 15 |
