| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone. Welcome to Logical Bible Study. Welcome, particularly if you're new to this podcast, |
| 0:18.9 | you've only just started listening recently. |
| 0:26.7 | I hope you're learning a lot from diving into scriptures in an in-depth academic way that we have been doing in this podcast. I know so many of you have been blessed by this podcast, and that was |
| 0:33.4 | always the goal. We wanted to give you something a bit different that's that no other ministry |
| 0:38.2 | is really doing every day, diving into the text of today's gospel in a really academic, rigorous |
| 0:45.7 | way, but also in a way that's accessible, in short, 20 or 30 minute chunks every day. We |
| 0:52.0 | give you the tools to help you understand the meaning of today's |

| 1:47.7 | and leave the inside full of extortion and intemperance. |

| 2:04.4 | So, so that the outside may become clean as well. So we're in Matthew chapter 23 and this is, I think, the most important chapter in understanding |
| 2:11.6 | Jesus' relationship with the Pharisees and the role of the Pharisees in society. |
| 2:17.0 | So often you'll hear these really simplistic explanations like the Pharisees and the role of the Pharisees in society. So often you'll hear these really simplistic |
| 2:19.0 | explanations like the Pharisees placed too much emphasis on tradition or Jesus didn't like the Pharisees |
| 2:26.1 | because they had given themselves too much power that God didn't want them to have. All of those |
