A pastor finished the service one morning by saying, "Next Sunday, I am going to preach on the subject of lying. As preparation for my sermon, I would like you all to read Mark Chapter 17."

On the following Sunday, the pastor rose to begin. Looking out at the congregation he said, "Last week I asked you all to read Mark 17. If you have read the chapter, please raise your hand." Nearly every hand in the congregation went up. Smiling, the pastor said, "There is no chapter 17 in Mark. I will now begin my sermon on lying."

Funny! I've also heard the same thing about a pastor instructing his parishioners to read the Bible book “Hezekiah”.
