10 Knock, Knock, Knockin' On Temple's Door

Hey, there. Welcome to the Investigators Guide to the Bible, the blogpod for people who read the Bible and say...What?...what does THAT mean? I am super excited to get started and share something with you today. As I was prepping for this week’s blogpod, I reread the first chapters of Matthew and Luke. But this time, I saw something different. We’ll talk about that and so much more. I even managed to find an appropriate Princess Bride reference. Stick around! Like and subscribe for new episodes.Notes and References to make it look like I’m earning my pay:1. Any Bible you use will be fine for all of the Biblical references. The one I used most for this episode is New American Bible, Revised Edition. Washington, DC: Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, 20102. Again, use your Bible for the Gospel passages or, for this example, you can go back to Episode #6, Horizonal Statements, where it is laid out for you.3.
