<TITLE>14. Par 50-53</TITLE>L-50 So up there, the Jews said to Him, said--questioned Him about it. (The 19th chapter of Saint John, now.) This man had been healed. What about the other multitudes? Now listen, Jesus own Words, so hurry. Jesus said, "Verily, verily (That's absolutely, absolutely.)--Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing." Is that right? Saint John 5:19, "What He sees the Father doing; that doeth the Son likewise. The Father worketh, and I worketh hitherto."
Then Jesus own Words... I--I'll... Through the week, when we get over to the other place, I'll quote to you, the Scriptures concerning it. All down through the Old Testament, no man at any time ever walked out boldly, without a vision, and done anything. 'Cause it was always God. See? Jesus said, "The Father shows Me (I see a vision on what to do), and what He shows me, that I go do. (See?) I can do nothing of Myself."

L-51 Look at the resurrection of Lazarus, when He left the home. They sent for Him, and He just went on. Sent for Him again, He just went on. Then after so many days, that God had showed Him in a vision that what was going to happen to Lazarus. Then He said, "Our friend, Lazarus, sleepeth. Now, for your sake, I'm glad I wasn't there. 'Cause you been trying to get Me to do something about it, and I couldn't. God's done told Me what to do. But I will go wake him."
And watch Him at the--watch Him at the grave of Lazarus. He said, "Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast already heard Me, but for these that stand by, I said it." See? He knew. God had showed Him what was going to do.

L-52 Now, in the beginning of His ministry... See, He did nothing except first... How many understands that? Jesus said Himself, that He didn't do anything until first the Father showed Him, is that right? And He seen it, now. Not just the revelation, but He seen it. "What the Son seeth the Father do, that doeth the Son likewise." What He... "What I see." a Seer. Always... He's the King of seers, the King of prophets. "But what the Father shows Me, that I do also. What the Father doeth, He shows..." He will show you greater than healing this here diabetic (ever what it was), that you may marvel. See?
Now in the beginning of His ministry, look at Him. He was standing out here... Let's take Him just a moment longer; I'm holding you long, but look. Just a moment longer, if you please.

L-53 A fellow by the name of Philip, got converted (Luke the 1st chapter). And he goes and finds Nathanael, a very good sign of conversion, isn't it, when he goes and hunts somebody to get him saved too? So He find Nathanael under a tree.
And he said, "Come, see Who I found, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph."
He said, "Could any good thing come out of Nazareth?" A very pious, religious man...
He said, "Come, see."
So let's say that Jesus was standing in the prayer line, praying for the sick. And up come Nathanael, walking up. "I want to see Who this Fellow is that knows so much." Walked up to Him like that.
Jesus looked at him and said, "Behold, an Israelite, in whom there is no guile." Kinda shocked him.
"How did he know me?" He said, "Whence knowest Thou me, Rabbi?"
He said, "Before Philip called you, when you was under the tree, I saw you."
You know what they say in Columbus tonight? "Mental telepathy, a witch." That's what they do say. That's right. "Oh, he's possessed of the devil. Don't fool with that person." If Nathanael would've said the same thing, he wouldn't have been immortal among men today. But he fell down and said, "Thou art the Son of God, the King of Israel."
