0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:07.0 | Yesterday we met Saul a powerful half-Roman half-Jewish Pharise in Jerusalem. |
0:17.5 | Due in part to his violent acts against the disciples, most of them leave the city. |
0:22.1 | Today he decides to hunt down anyone who |

1:11.0 | I want to keep getting to know him more and more all the time. But there's also |
1:15.0 | something interesting in the question Jesus asks. Jesus is in heaven at the right hand of the |
1:20.0 | Father, so how can Saul be persecuting Him? In this question, Jesus makes it clear that he has |
1:26.1 | united himself with the Church. One of the images we see in Scripture is that He is the head |
