<TITLE>13. Par 46-49</TITLE>L-46 Now, multitudes, it takes two thousand to make one multitude. And there were great multitudes. God willing, I aim to go through that place in the next few months. Now notice, here come Jesus walking right through there. He was Emmanuel. God was with Him. God was in Him. He was full of mercy, full of compassion. A woman had just touched the hem of His garment and was made whole of a blood plague (blood issue).
And now, here... Let us... Closely. Now just, keep this now so that when we get into the campaign, the big campaign over here, the Coliseum or wherever it's going to be... When we get in there, you can tell others.

L-47 Now, when He went through there, He passed by... Let's give a little drama here, maybe you'd get it better. Here's a poor old daddy with arthritis, drawed up, hollering, "Somebody have mercy. Somebody have mercy." Here is a mother with a water-head baby, "Please, somebody, let me in the water first." An old blind mother walking around, "I've been blind for forty years; somebody let me in first." Such a mass of humanity: lame, halt, blind, withered, and here come Emmanuel walking right among them. Why didn't He have compassion? If He was so full of love, why didn't He have compassion on them? People, that's...
Let me say this, not as a rebuke. Let me say this with kind, tenderly, Christian love. People get sympathy mixed up with love: not His sympathy, His love. That--that may speak in riddles, but you'll see after a bit. See? Sympathy and love is contrary one to the other. Love is one thing. Sympathy is another.

L-48 But He walked right through that crowd of people, all them lame, halt, blind, and withered, and never said a word to them. Now, if He is full of love and compassion and loved the sick people, why didn't He heal them? Because He wasn't a Healer. He said He wasn't a Healer.
Now, He walked over to a man laying on a pallet. That's what we'd call it down South, or a bed laying there, a pallet. And He could walk; he said, "When I'm coming to the waters, somebody steps in ahead of me." He might've had prostate trouble or something or another, or retarded sugar diabetes, or... Why, he'd had it thirty-eight years.
And He said, "Will thou be made whole?"
He said, "I have no man to put me in the water. When I'm coming, someone steps ahead of me."
He said, "Take up your bed and go to your house." Healed that one man, and walked away, and left a whole multitude of people, is that the truth? And look at the lovely, compassionate Lord Jesus.

L-49 Now, if you'll watch reading the Scriptures, Jesus knew that fellow, where he was at, knowed all about him. Now, to save time, just read on down, the 19th verse. The Jews caught this man; they questioned Jesus. Perhaps today, "Let me see Him heal this. I'll believe it. Let me see this woman that's been crippled all this time; let me see her get up and walk. Let me see this blind man... I'll believe it."
That's the same old devil that said to Jesus, "Turn these stones in to bread and let me see you... And I'll... Let--let... Do a miracle and let me look at it." See, see? "Let me look at it, and I'll believe You then." It's the same devil that said to Jesus, "Come off the... (religious devil too, you see?) Come off the cross; now we will believe you." Put a rag around His head and said, "You said you saw visions." Put a rag around His head, and hit Him on the head with a stick, and said, "Who hit you? Prophesy now, and tell us who hit you." He don't clown for people, never opened His mouth. He stood there. God didn't show Him nothing; He didn't do nothing.
