<TITLE>12. Par 34-36</TITLE>L-34 How could He do any miracles with such as that around? Why, one time He had to take a man and lead him plumb out of the city so He could heal him, on account of so much unbelief. He came to His own country where He was raised up at; He couldn't do nothing, no work. They said, "We heard he's done miracles over there. Let me see him do him now." And all the people that knew Him when he raised up as a boy, "This is the carpenter's son; we knowed his dad. And we knowed them all. We know his brothers and sisters. We know they're a bunch of poor people down there. That... Where'd he get this wisdom? What school did he come out of?" And Jesus marveled at their unbelief. He didn't stay there but a little bit; He traveled on.
Then He said, "A prophet is not without honour, except among his own people and his own county." That's right. And it's been that way ever since. Now... 'Cause that's the Word of God. It'd have to be.

L-35 But they--He... They laughed at Him. And what He said was the Word of God. And so then He said them words, and He put them all out of the house. And look who he took with Him: Peter, and James, and John: love, faith, and charity. I mean, ch--faith, and--and hope, and charity: Peter, James, and John, those three. That's what you want to take along with you: hope, faith, and charity, walk into the sick room.
And you notice, He taken the father and mother, put all the rest of them out. Now, He's alone with the brokenhearted, the little Jairus' wife, who believed Him with all of their heart. He said, "I told you, just not to fear: you shall see the glory of God." All right. Then as He walks on down into the house, looks on the couch, there laid the poor little girl laying there dead--laying out on the couch, about 12 years old. And Jesus walked over to where she was, took ahold of her hand, and spoke in an unknown tongue, "Tabitha," called out out there.

L-36 And all around, you look on the outside, all doubting, said, "Well, the very idea, that man putting us out of that house. Oh, wait till we get ahold of that Jairus. Hmmm, just wait till we get him. Oh, my, the doctor said the child was going to die and it done just what the doctor said. The child is dead and here he is now bringing disgrace on our church. Hmmm. Just wait till he comes out of that house. We'll 'church' him right now. Wait till the general council meeting; we'll sure show him what to do. We'll fix him up. Just wait till they have the next conference. We sure won't have that guy around here no more."
Jesus, with all that bank of unbelief outside, He was empowered with a Spirit that could speak out into another land, out into another language. And he called the spirit of the dead from out of the land, yonder, and said, "Return back." And the girl that was laying dead, by the touch of His hand, rose again. Said, "Now, give her something to eat; she's weak. She's going to get all right." Said, "Don't tell nobody about this now." It don't have to be put in all kinds of papers and advertised all around. All right. He was the man of the hour. He was, but He knew it Himself. God knew it and that was sufficient. All right.
