<TITLE>13. Par 31-33</TITLE>L-31 Well, the tired fishermen as they landed in, great crowds was looking. I see a little woman setting upon the hill doing her knitting, you know; she'd had a issue of blood for many years, and spent, sold the farm, and everything else, and paid the doctors. They'd done everything they could, but she couldn't healed. And she said, "If that's Him, if I can only touch His garment, I'm going to be well." Here she comes. I can see her pressing her way through the crowd. Here stands these people saying, "Days of miracles has passed. Now, you'll be put out of the synagogue." She just pressed right on through them. See?
I can see these fellows standing there, saying, "Why, there hasn't been miracles since Moses was on the earth. All them things, we can explain it by the Scriptures."
She just crawls right between their feet, and goes right on. She's trying her best. Anyhow, don't make any difference, she's trying to get to Jesus. Why? Her faith told her if she could touch His garment, that's all she needed. That's all. And the poor, little, sick, weakly, frail woman had been bleeding like that for almost eighteen years; you know how weakly she was. And she'd have to crawl awhile and press awhile; and she'd raise up and see where she was, and take off again. And after while, all the people trying to hug Him and everything, you know, with their different ways. But she touched His garment.
Said, "Say, who touched Me?" He turned around. Why, He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. You can touch Him tonight. He turned around. He looked around over the audience, said, "Somebody's done something here." He said, "You, your faith has healed you." My, oh, my, that's my Lord. That's Him. That's Him here now. "Thy faith has healed you. You had a blood issue all these years, but your faith took care of that." Oh, my. She fell down trembling before Him. He goes on.

L-32 Here comes a man. The custom was in the old days to be ashes on your head when sorrow, a message of sorrow. He has ashes piled on his head, and here he comes running real fast like that. Said, "Jairus, Jairus [Brother Branham pants--Ed.], trouble not the Master. Your daughter's already dead; we've done laid her out."
And the poor, little fellow, I can just imagine his little heart skipped a beat. [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.] "She's dead."
I can see Jesus' eyes turn look at him, say, "Fear not. Just only believe. That's all."
When he heard that Word, he looked back; his little heart begin to beat right again. His lips turned back, ran again, shaking, looking long.
Jesus set looking at him, you know. "Just believe. That's all I ask you to do, only believe."

L-33 They kept walking along. They got to the house. The people... He said, "Now, what's all this carrying-on around here about," said, "all this screaming and crying, and going-on about?" Said, "She's not dead; she's sleepeth."
And they said, "Did you hear what that fanatic said? When we've got her embalmed and laying out in there, and she's not dead, but sleepeth. Oh, isn't that really... Oh, I tell you, they ought to run Him out of the country."
He walked in the house where all that was at. How could He do anything where that kind of unbelief was? He said, "Every one of you, get out," put them out of the house. "Get going, every one of you." He was wondering who had faith. He said, "Peter, James, and John, oh, hope, faith, and charity, come here." That's what He has to have. "Bring them in."
