SPEAKER_00: So Jesus says in the gospel, you know, these two disciples want all these things, right?
SPEAKER_00: And it's not necessarily bad, that they're not necessarily bad things unless we use them for bad things.
SPEAKER_00: But he says that there's something even more important than all those things.
