Mark Seventeen

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