| Now he lied as the very beg inn In &
of his prayer. Mind you. Jesus had
two purposes In view: First, to show
some who think they are righteous
that they are not: second, to show
why the prayers OF some arc answered
and others are not
This man lied at the beginning OF
his prayer. II you will read the first
seventeen chapters OF Luke BY the
way. you ought to know the contents
OF the first seventeen chapters before
you attempt 20 find out what's in the
e trhtecnth---that's the way you do
with novel. I suppose, but that's the
way ron don't do with the Bible and
II you read the novel in the same slip
Is o d, happy go-lucky, e o o d-L o r d.
good devil, milk. cider. chalk and vim
egar way you do the Bible. you'd know
no more about the novel than you do
about tire Bible
So II you will read the FIRST seven
teen chapters of Lake you win And
that she pharisees hated everybody.
On. they despfsed the Greeks: they
hated the Romans: they deSpfeed John
the Baptist, and above everybody they
despfsed Jesus Christ He told that

Jesus eaid to them, Look here. You
arc teaching these people traditions
instead of commandments
And when Jesus came into the
world. He did not fuinli their tradi-
ticns: He did fulnll the command
weren't expecting him to fulhll their
traditions and 10 they were teaching
traditions instead Of commandments
and made the commandments OF God
Of non-effect because Of their trAdi-
lions. and Jesus had . quarrel with
them because they Aw a departure
from their daily. civic. and social fife.
why yesss onarr~IeA.
Ha went on to show them that re-
fsgion diint consist in doing = lot OF
special things. although branded as
religion, bat religion consisted IN do
ing everything that God wanted dome
so he had n quarrel with them
Jesus was \ pfous patriot: they were
pious churchmsn. They hooked horns
right from the beginning and that was
the crowd that kfYled Him. There
were about 1000 pharisees in round
numbers They were the eccle siastical
power; they ran thingr; they dictated
the policies. n . man didn't preach the
way they wanted him to- they put him
out Of business That was the erowt
