34:46 This is an extremely important piece of information for me! Every day, as I pray the Rosary and meditate on the Sorrowful Mysteries, I find myself wondering why there are discrepancies in what Fr. John Hardon, S.J. said about the scourging of Christ and the information about the wounds on Christ's body, obtained from the study of the Shroud of Turin, which I heard from Fr. Andrew Dalton. According to Fr. Hardon, S.J., the purpose of Roman scourging (in general) was to break the skin, tearing the flesh even down to the bones. And according to the data acquired from the study of the Shroud, the body of a person wrapped in it, had marks of scourging, but they were located under the skin - that is internal damage comparable to third degree burns, but the skin itself was not broken. And the number of blows inflicted was about 120. How could the skin remain unbroken?! And, I was really confused as to who and what to believe. It was hard to imagine that Fr. Hardon, S.J. was mistaken, and it was equally difficult for me to give up the belief that it was Christ who had been wrapped in the Shroud of Turin. Now this issue is clarified! I just love The Spiritual Masters series, I have not missed even one episode.
The KJV was not an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, but a translation from Greek in the tradition of Erasmus’ Greek / Latin Polyglot. Erasmus believed his Polyglot was correcting errors in the Vulgate.
Great Sunday listening!
