Wednesday night, we're going to continue our through the Bible, verse by verse, chapter by chapter study through the Bible.

And we're in the gospel of Mark.

So at this time, why don't you turn to Mark Chapter 13?

It's where we are in our study, Mark 13.

Last Sunday, we saw the cynics and the critics trying to fire questions at Jesus to try to

trap him and trick him and make him say something wrong.

But they ended their question in, the Herodians, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the chief priests and the scribes.

They all came with their questions, but Jesus silenced them all.

And so he soundly defeated them in sort of debate form.

again, he is the truth, so he knows the truth. But all that to say, after a hard day of

debating with these guys, if you would, he would then leave the Mount of Olives, go down the Keydron Valley up to the Mount of Olives.

And then once he crossed over the Mount of Olives, they'd have over to a little town of Bethany, where he would spend the night.

We don't see Jesus spending the night in Jerusalem. He always left in the evening and went over to Mary Martha

Lazarus's house, crashed there, and then he'd go back in Jerusalem the next day. So after all the,

you know, debate there, he was making his way down and the disciples seemed to be like, Jesus,

did you get a chance to look at how beautiful and glorious the temple

was there in Jerusalem? Like, did you see? And Jesus said to them, well, not one of these stones of

the temple are going to stay on another. This place is going to be crushed. Have you ever had somebody

sort of minimize something you're trying to say, did you see how wonderful that was?
