A minister 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 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 minister smiled
and said, “Mark has only sixteen chapters. Now let’s take a look at the sin of lying.”
