A Pastor told his congregation, "Next week I plan to preach about the sin of lying. To help you understand my sermon, I want you all to read Mark Chapter 17...." The following Sunday, as he prepared to deliver his sermon, the minister asked for a show of hands. He wanted to know how many had read Mark 17. Every hand went up. The Pastor smiled and said, "Mark has only sixteen chapters. I will now proceed with my sermon on the sin of lying.
Our preacher often jokes about a certain verse or two that comes from 1 Hezekiah, which usually prompts a chuckle from the congregation. He could use the same story as above, since there is no book of Hezekiah in the Bible.
