Chapter 12 of Saint John, we are reminded that JESUS has the power to raise the dead. Then, once again, a "man" (Judas Iscariot) used an excuse to stop Mary from anointing JESUS, in preparation for HIS burial. however, the highlight for me is the testimony of JESUS raising Lazarus from the dead.

Lazarus is definitely a character who stands out amongst the rest of JESUS' friend. For it is recorded in the 11th chapter that JESUS wept for Lazarus (John 11:35.)

The 13th chapter focuses on Peter being fully accepted onto the ministry of JESUS. Then on the other hand, Satan entered into Judas Iscariot (13:27) -- the betrayal. Then Peter is rebuked about his courage, without courage, because he was due to deny JESUS.

The 14th chapter is probably the most used scripture used at funeral around the world. Also, one of JESUS most famous quotes; "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (14:6.)

Always keeping it real with himself, DR. FERMAN, painfully speaks on the hurt from the realization that he came from a long line of devils and a long line of "bastards."

Deuteronomy 23:2: "A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even unto his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD" (KJV).

Deuteronomy 23:2, in some cases, is referred to as the "bastard verse." The "bastard" and his or her offspring was not allowed to really be true members of the family union. Completely, all second hand and third-hand treatment. The "bastard" treatment comes with a feeling of being an un-loved orphan.

Hebrews 12:8: "But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons" (KJV).

This is another key scripture concerning "bastard-hood," which uses "bastards" as illegitimate children of GOD.

FATHERLESS -- not experiencing God's discipline . . . not just lacking earthly fatherly correction.

• Judges 11:1: Introduces Jephthah as a "mighty warrior" but also "the son of a prostitute," highlighting a prominent figure of potentially illegitimate birth.
