• 03:32 - Do we know anything about the families of Apostles other than Peter, who had a mother-in-law? Which ones were married, who had children, etc.? 
• 07:19 - I’m curious about John 10:18 where Jesus talks about having the power to lay down his life and take it up again. Does this mean he could have chosen to die right then, or could it suggest that he had the option to remain on the cross longer before choosing to die?
