<TITLE>13. Par 48-51</TITLE>L-48 Now, while they're lining up, let me ask you something just a little bit. What if Jesus was standing here tonight, standing on the platform? "Well," you say, "Brother Branham, He'd come down and heal this one and heal that one."
Would He? He can't do what He has already done. He would only say to you, "Why, I healed you when I died, was stripes in your--on My back for your healing at Calvary. Believest thou this?"
You'd say, "Yes, Lord, I believe it."
He'd say, "Then according to your faith, be it unto you."
Now, how many knows this, that Jesus never did heal anybody, Hisself? Did you know that? Let me tell you. He said, "It's not Me that doeth the work; it's My Father that dwelleth in Me; He doeth the work." Is that right? "Not Me..."

L-49 And watch when the Jews questioned Him, when He went through all that big pool of people there that was lame, blind, halt, and withered, and all kind of conditions. And He--He said to the person, went to a man laying on a pallet. Just look, Saint John 5, how they was withered. Wouldn't the critics today say, "Why didn't he heal all of those?" That's what they say, "If He's a Divine Healer, let Him heal this. If there is such a thing as Divine healing, let Him heal that one."
That's what they said to Him. He passed right through all those cripples and things, Emmanuel, anointed, the very God of heaven, represented here in flesh. You believe in the Deity of Christ, all of you, don't you? He was God. He wasn't a man. The people today try to lower Him down to be a prophet. He was--He was either God or the biggest deceiver the world ever had. A prophet's blood wouldn't do you no good. A prophet's a man. But Jesus was God. The Bible said that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. Is that right?

L-50 Watch Jesus here when they questioned Him about all these things, and the man packing his bed and so forth, that'd been healed. He said, now listen, Saint John 5:19:
Verily, verily, (that's absolutely, absolutely,) I say unto you, The Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing: that doeth the Son likewise.
For the Father showeth the Son all things that Himself doeth. The Father worketh and I worketh hitherto.
Is that right? Saint John 5:19 and 20. Now, Jesus is truthful. In other words He said, "He could do nothing at all until the Father showed Him by a vision first, what to do." All that believes that Scripture, raise up your hand, Saint John 5:19. That's exactly right. Then Jesus did not do one thing until the Father showed Him first in a vision what to do.

L-51 He showed Him where Philip had been under a tree, praying, before Nathanael found him. Is that right? You remember that? He showed the woman at the well where she had five husbands. Is that right? But the woman who touched the hem of His garment, He didn't heal her; He said, "Thy faith has made thee whole."
Look, one time two blind men followed Him. They were blind, saying, "Have mercy on us, Thou Son of David, have mercy." He went on into the room, never paid any attention to them; He hadn't had no vision about them. So He went into the room. And while in the room, they brought the blind men. He touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith, be it unto you." And their eyes were opened. Is that right?
