<TITLE>10. Par 15-16</TITLE>L-15 Jesus walked away and left every one of them people laying there. That was Jesus nineteen hundred years ago. They found this man packing his--his pallet on his back. He'd got up and went on. Jesus told him he was healed. He believed it. If he'd have doubted Him, he'd have just stayed laid there.
And then, when the Jews caught this man, they questioned, and they questioned Jesus. Now here it is; get it close so you'll never forget it, 19th verse of the 5th chapter of Saint John. Read it all when you go home. They questioned Jesus.
"Why," He said, "verily, verily, I say unto you..." Listen. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing." Well, whatever the Father doeth He showeth the Son. Is that right? "The Father worketh and I worketh hitherto."
In other words, "I can do nothing as the Son of God." And men claiming to be Divine healers, when even the Son of God didn't claim to be a Divine healer. He said, "I can do nothing." He didn't claim to be a healer. Said, "It isn't Me that does the work. It's My Father that dwelleth in Me; He doeth the works."
Then if we're sons of God today with the Father's Spirit in us, what about it? The same Spirit, the same mind, the same works, the same power...
Now, He said, "I can do nothing except My Father shows Me." And when... In other words... Listen close now. This may shock just a little. But Jesus Christ, the Son of God, never performed one miracle without first seeing a vision of it, or He told something wrong there. He said, "The Son can do nothing in Himself, but what I see the Father doing." Is that true? That was Jesus nineteen hundred years ago.
Our time will get away soon. We must give some time for prayer. See, people what the Scripture means?
Now, Jesus said that He did nothing. You say, "Well, what about some blind man followed Him one day on the street; He had no vision about him?" They... He was hollering, "Having mercy. Have mercy." And the disciples put him back. And He went into the house and set down. After while the blind man got in some way, somebody brought him in. He come up to him, He touched their eyes, and said, "According to your faith, be it unto you." Is that right?

L-16 One day, He was passing by Jericho. And there in the crowd, the great masses a calling and screaming, and some making fun of Him and everything... His face was set towards Calvary. He was moving on to Calvary. And way back in the shadows, in the dark cold, a poor old blind beggar, ragged as he could be, begin to cry, "Thou Son of David, have mercy on me." 'Course, He couldn't hear him with all that screaming and carrying on they had. And Him walking on His... knowing He was going... the burdens of the ever living thing that ever lived, or ever would live on the earth, was upon His shoulders. He'd set His face towards Calvary. But the faith of that blind beggar stopped Him. And He turned around.
A woman, one time, pressed through the crowd. She touched the hem of His garment, for she said... Her faith said within her heart, "If I can only touch His garment, I'll be made well." And she crawled under the feet of people, perhaps, and slipped over and touched His garment, went right back and stood out in the audience like that. Jesus begin to feel weak. He turned around, He looked over the audience until He found her, said, "Thy faith has saved thee. I never healed you. Your faith has saved you." Father never give Him any vision, but her faith pulled Jesus around to her in all that multitude. Is that right?
That was Jesus nineteen hundred years ago. Wouldn't that be Jesus tonight? Is it possible, now watch. Jesus said, "The things that I do, shall you also. And greater (which the right interpretation is more), more than this will you do, for I go unto My Father." Is that true?
