<TITLE>15. Par 213-221</TITLE>L-213 Jairus said, "Now wait a minute." The daughter got real sick. The only hope there was, to ever get her, was to go to Jesus. She... They took off for Jesus.
While he was on the road... I see him come up there. And the woman just got healed with the blood issue. Here he goes on, he said, "My daughter is laying now... I don't care what the priest says, what anybody says. Will You come, lay Your hands on her? I believe You're God's provided Way for her healing. Will you come, lay Your hands on her, she'd get well?"
Said, "I will go."
Here he starts, going on. The first thing you know, here run a man from their house, saying, "Jairus, don't weary the Master, because she's already dead." Oh, oh, my. I can see his little heart jump in him, like that.
I can see those lovely, tender eyes of Jesus roll over to him, say, "Didn't I say, 'Fear not, and thou shall see the glory of God'?" He's God's provided Way.

L-217 There was an old man by the name of blind Bartimaeus, set at the gates one day, begging for alms. It was getting cold weather, about October. He heard a noise coming down the street. "What is that?"
"Why," he said, "that's Jesus of Nazareth."
He never watched... He pulled off His robe. He never laid it down, and fold it up so, you know, he could blindly find his way back to it. He threw his robe aside. God had provided a Way, and he was after it. He had run down here.
Some...?... say, "Set down. Set down. He ain't got no time to fool with you."
He screamed the much the louder, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me. Have mercy on me." He was pressing through. "Have mercy on me. I know You're God's provided Way for my eyes. O Lord, have mercy on me." That's right.

L-221 I read the history of blind Bartimaeus one day, a little story. They said that he had been blind for years. He had a little daughter he'd never seen. One night... And he used to go up there and set at the street. He had a little lamb. The lambs used to lead the blind people like the dogs does today; the dogs lead the blind man. They had a lamb trained to lead the blind. And then one said, one day, that...
He had two little turtledoves, and they would do little tumbles, like that, to attract the tourists' attention, going into Jerusalem, or into the--the city, and they would drop coins in his cup. He was blind.
So one night his wife got real sick, so he went to the Lord. He said, "Lord, I haven't got nothing. I'm a poor man. I'm a blind man. I haven't got nothing to give You. But I believe You, Lord. And if You'll just have mercy and let my poor wife live, tomorrow I will give You my turtledove for a sacrifice." The Lord healed his wife that night.
The next day he went back to the priest, offered up the two turtledoves for a sacrifice. Then he had nothing but the lamb.
