<TITLE>06. Par 17-19</TITLE>L-17 However, eight days, they had... The eighth day, that would be every day would be a--a circumcision line. And this morning, and everybody was busy about their business.
And look back, and see here stands a line of about hundred women standing together down along there. And here's some of them standing with a little lamb on a leash here, waiting with their little baby wrapped in fine linen, and so forth. And--and the other Jewish mothers a tipping, you know, and how happy they are.
Let's come down the line. I see Mrs... Look and see standing down there, and her, and how she's got her baby. And all the... She's one of the up-and-up's, you know. And my, they've just such a lovely child, garments with that child, and so forth. And come on down...
But standing down a little, I see a little girl about eighteen years old, a veil down over her face, with a baby, with swaddling's cloth wrapped around it.
If I understand right, that's what's took off the yoke of an ox, where it plows, you know, to keep from rubbing it.

L-18 And there was no room for them in the inn. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him. And just reached up there and took this cloths off of the yoke and wrapped it around His body.
And she has It in her hand. Not a little lamb, a beautiful lamb washed and all fixed for... pretty for the high priest or for the sacrifice, but poor, and a little turtledove in her hand. A peasant's offering.
I can hear them say, "Do you know who that is standing there? That's that woman who had a baby with a... out--out of holy wedlock. Don't stand near her. Stand back." Holding their mouth, you know. "Stand back. Don't stand around where she is. She's--she's just a girl. She's a prostitute."
But down in little Mary's heart, she knew what she was.
And you might say, "Look at that fanaticism. Look at that--that..." But remember, down in their heart, they know were they stand.

L-19 All right. Then I can see her standing there, watching her baby. And she counted it all in her heart. And while she's standing there, watching her little baby, holding the dove, waiting for the purification... The... One dove would be killed, and so forth. And the both of them would have to...?... And then she's holding the dove, and not paying any attention to them. She's tending to her own business.
But about that time, way back over in the building, piled full of thousands of Jews, and the trumpets were sounding, and the sacrifice was being offered, prayers being made, and the jubilee is falling, and so forth. But way back in a prayer room, I can see an old man setting back there that's got the promise by the Holy Spirit. He's setting there reading an old parchment along about... maybe in Isaiah, or some there. "All we like sheep have gone astray. The Lord has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all."
