| 0:00.0 | Welcome. |
| 0:13.0 | Welcome to the for Life where today we're starting a series to help us prepare our hearts for Easter by focusing on the account of Jesus' crucifixion in the Gospels. |
| 0:33.7 | We'll begin as Jesus is being betrayed and is abandoned by his disciples in the shadows of the Garden of Gatsimony. |
| 0:41.6 | It's a well-known story for many, but Alastair Begg warns us not to let the familiarity dull its impact. |
| 0:53.6 | I invite you to turn with me to the Gospel of Mark and to Chapter 14, and we'll read from |
| 1:00.5 | verse 41. And in a moment of two or two, as we turn to this study, I actually want us to begin |
| 1:09.9 | just by looking in Acts chapter 8. We're going to |
| 1:13.5 | read Mark 14. We're going to begin in Acts 8. We're going to turn back quickly to Mark 14 again. |
| 1:18.8 | And if that's too much information, just don't worry about it at all. Mark chapter 14. |
| 1:26.2 | Verse 41, and he came, that is Jesus came the third time and said to them, |
| 1:30.9 | are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough. The hour has come. The son of man is |
| 1:37.9 | betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going. See, my betrayer is at hand. And immediately, while he was still speaking, |
| 1:49.3 | Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs from the chief priests |
| 1:55.3 | and the scribes and the elders. Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, |
| 2:07.1 | The one I will kiss is the man, seize him, and lead him away under guard. |
| 2:12.6 | And when he came, he went up to him at once and said rabbi, and he kissed him. |
| 2:15.7 | And they laid hands on him and seized him. |
| 2:19.1 | But one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear. And Jesus said to them, |
| 2:24.4 | Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to capture me? |
| 2:30.4 | Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But let the scriptures |
| 2:37.1 | be fulfilled, and they all left him and fled. And a young man followed him with nothing but a |
| 2:43.9 | linen cloth about his body, and they seized him. But he left the linen cloth and ran away naked. Amen. A brief prayer as we turn to the Bible. |
