<TITLE>06. Par 20-23</TITLE>L-20 What if it would be in America like that tonight? You know what they'd say? "That's mental telepathy. That man's a mind reader." They said the same thing in that day.
But Nathanael said, "Rabbi, how did You know me? How do You know who I am? You've never seen me before. How do You know me?"
He said, "Before Philip called you, when you was under the tree I saw you." He never questioned it any longer.
He said, "Thou art the Son of God. Thou art the King of Israel."
Jesus turned him about and said, "Because I told you where you were at before you come to the meeting, you believe Me now? You'll see greater things than this, if you can believe that." That was Jesus of yesterday. It should be Jesus of today. If He is risen from the dead He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-21 Philip went and found Andrew. Andrew went and got Peter. Peter came up to where Jesus was; He turned around and looked at him and He told him who he was. He said, "I'm going to change your name: going to call you 'little stone' now." Knowed who he was.
I can imagine how Peter would say, "Well, how did He know who I was? Well, He never saw me in His life, so how would He know me?" Kindly strange...

L-22 There was a woman one day who was going through a crowd. Jesus, the crowds was all putting their arms around Him and trying to get near Him. And as the woman pressed through the crowd, having a blood issue for many years... Spent all she had with the doctors; they could do her no good. And she touched His garment, went on all about in the crowd and hid herself.
Jesus stopped... Listen; here it is. Jesus stopped, and turned Him about, and said, "Who touched Me?"
While the apostle said, "Why, Lord, why ask a question like that? The whole crowd is touching You."
He said, "But I got weak. Virtue went from... Somebody touched Me." And He looked around over the crowd till He looked till He found her. And He settled down; He said, "Thy faith hath healed thee. That old blood issue has stanched right now." That was Jesus yesterday. That's Jesus today. "Thy faith has saved thee."

L-23 Up along... One day He had to go by the way of Samaria. I wonder why from Jerusalem He's going to Jericho, straight path, but He went up around hilly country, up to Samaria. And when He went up there, He was setting on the well, and He sent His disciples away. And a woman of Samaria come out. I don't know why she come at this time of day around noon, between eleven and twelve o'clock? Whether she'd been out all night and just getting up or whether her--the better class of people wouldn't let her come while they were getting water from the well, that I couldn't say.
But when she came out, Jesus setting over against the wall, He said, "Woman, bring Me a drink." Watch it, the conversation now. Wonder why? Now, listen.
She said, "Why, it's not customary for You a Jew to ask me a Samaritan such a thing."
Then He, in the course, He said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask me for a drink, and I'd bring you waters you wouldn't come here to draw."
Why, she said, "The well's deep."
