"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.
I will now proceed with my
sermon on the sin of lying."
