<TITLE>07. Par 21-23</TITLE>L-21 And there was a--a--a pool there at the market. And ever so often, there was an Angel came down and troubled the water. Now, how many knows what troubled water is, living here at the river? A troubled water is when the current's going one way, and the waves another: choppy; makes a troubled water and a very dangerous water.
Then people believed that it was an Angel, which God testified that it was, that came down; because there was no current in the water, but it just chopped the water, made a choppy condition. And the people lay there, great multitudes. Now, listen what the Scripture says: lame, halt, blind, withered. What a sight of suffering humanity, waiting for the moving of the water. And then ever who got into the water first, when the water was troubled, was made whole of whatsoever disease he had, because the--all the virtue of the Angel on the water, went to the individual and healed him of its disease. Now, you believe that's the truth? I believe it is, because it's in the Scripture. And that's why I believe it's the truth. I believe that it was an Angel, not a superstition, not somebody's theology; it was an Angel that God sent down from heaven to minister to the sick and the needy.
Now, if God made a provision in the--every age, would it not be no more than just that God would make a provision in this age for the sick? Well, He has.

L-22 Notice. Now, Jesus went up to this pool, up to Jerusalem. And going through the market, He came to this great mass of humanity. How many of you believe He was the Son of God? He was full of love and compassion, wasn't He? Well now, doesn't it seem strange that our lovely Jesus would pass that great multitude of lame, halt, blind, and withered people, and just heal one man that maybe had a heart trouble, or diabetes, or something; and leave that great mass of crippled people lay there? I believe if He would've said to all of them...
Just think, this little audience tonight wouldn't be a handful up beside of what that great multitude was that laid there. A multitude consists of over two thousand people, and a great multitude. Hard tell how many thousand was there of lame, blind, withered; and He healed one man, and walked away, and left the rest of them there.
Now, that doesn't... If you would look at it in the right sense, now... Note, that was strange that the Son of God would just heal one person and leave all that multitude lay there. Doesn't it seem strange? Looked like He would've heal them all. And I believe that if He would've said, "All of you is healed," I believe they'd all been well. Do you believe that?

L-23 But now, when the Jews questioned Him, listen at what He said:
Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew greater works than this, that ye may marvel.
Now, Jesus said that in Himself He could do nothing; He could only do what the Father showed Him to do. That's the Scripture. Jesus said, "It's not Me that doeth the works; it's My Father that dwelleth in Me; He doeth the works." Is that right? God...
