0:00.0	The Bible Study Podcast, episode 431. Today, the Bible Study podcast continues the study of the
0:05.7	gospel of Matthew with chapter 12.
0:17.4	Welcome to the Bible Study podcast. I'm your host, Chris Christensen.
0:21.5	Continuing on with chapter 12, Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath. At that time, Jesus went through the
0:27.8	grain fields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry and began to pick some heads of grain
0:32.5	and eat them. When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, look, your disciples are doing

1:54.1	And one of the things we have to understand, remember, is there's some history of where the Pharisees came from. Remember that the people of Israel
