<TITLE>19. Par 74-78</TITLE>L-74 The only thing He could do, when He passed by that gate where all them sick people and crippled and all, by the pool of Bethesda (lame, halt, blind, withered), He never healed any of them, went over to a sick man laying on a pallet, oh, maybe oh, prostate trouble, or something, or diabetes. He... It wasn't going to hurt him; it wasn't going to kill him; he'd had it thirty-eight years. And He healed him and went on about His business.
The Jews questioned Him. You remember that? Saint John 5. Now, watch what He said. Listen close. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing, that doeth the Son." Is that right? In other words, He said, "I do nothing until the Father shows Me. The Father worketh, I worketh hitherto." That's Saint John 5:19, 20, 21. See? "The Father worketh, and I worketh hitherto. I do nothing of Myself. Just what He shows Me, that I do."

L-75 As with the resurrection of Lazarus--all that. Read the Scriptures. Find out. It's exactly what... Before He knew what was going to take place... He said the grave; He said, "I thank Thee Father that Thou hast already done this," you know, "But I... just for these who stand by, I said it." You see.

L-76 So, it's all by vision. It's never by man. It's by God. Always. Now, to heal people, as far as I know... Where is the first patient? I can't see her. Oh, oh, excuse me. All right. There's a... I thought maybe you was one of the musicians here or something. Excuse me. There's--there's not no people that I know of in that line; I guess we're all strangers. And as far as I know, in the building, I don't know anyone. I just see my friend from Louisville, that's just come up. I didn't think he was coming. Mr. O'Bannon, a businessman, in Louisville, setting there. I was glad to see him.
And I think outside of that, as far as knowing now, is the only person in here that I know or remember at this time, you don't, Outside of Brother here, Brother Joseph. And that's all that I know. But now the Lord Jesus knows every one. Is that right?

L-77 Now, we have to... There might be some of you... I don't want to hurt your feelings when I said, I--maybe I might say, "Well, I've seen that person somewhere. But to know who they are or what they, I--I don't. I haven't never seen them, in that manner."

L-78 All right. Now, let's just be in prayer. Wait now and see what the Holy Spirit will say to us. Now, may He bless. I'm going to ask the lady to come here just a moment, and just talk to her just a moment.
Now, when our Lord and Saviour, talked to a woman at the... A Samaritan woman... Say, this would be a perfect contrast, just exactly the same thing, rather. Or the Samaritan woman, well, she was a--a lady, just like any other woman. But Jesus was a Jew, and she was a Samaritan. And they had kind of a--a racial affair in them days, that... She said to Him... He said, "Bring Me a drink."
And she said, "It's not custom for Jews to ask Samaritans such." See there was a thing there, just like, probably like, a little feeling like, between colored and white today. But Jesus let her know right quick that that didn't exist in the Presence of God. We're off of one tree; that's Adam. That's right. And by being born again, we're off of one Tree, Christ Jesus, Who makes us all the same. Just exactly.
