<TITLE>25. Par 62-63</TITLE>L-62 Now, when He was here on earth, He did not claim to be a healer, friend. He did not claim that. He claimed very vice versa. Now, I know strangers, perhaps, here tonight, you might go away, say, "Brother Branham, the Divine healer." Now, that's an error. I am not a Divine healer. And there's no other man on this earth a Divine healer. That's contrary to the Scripture. The Scripture don't allow any of us to be Divine healers, not even Christ Himself. Christ said, "It's not Me that doeth the works, it's My Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works."
He passed by great multitudes of people (Saint John 5), crippled, lame, blind, halt, and withered. He went right through that pool, after a woman stood out in the crowd and touched His garment. He turned around, looked over in the crowd, and said, "I felt virtue go out of me." Looked out in the crowd, and said, "You, your faith has made you whole." The blood issue had stopped. See? Now, that was Jesus Christ of yesterday. That's Jesus today.
And He went through that bunch of people, which was crippled, and blind, and halt, and withered, went right through them, and found a man laying on the pallet. And He said, "Will thou be made whole?"
Watch. Jesus said, He knew he'd been there, and knew he had been in that condition for so many years. When they found him packing his bed, they got Jesus and questioned Him. Sure, He'd be questioned. He'd be questioned in Macon tonight.

L-63 Here not long ago, a woman that stays with us down there (Sister Wood, I believe it was), said that someone went out here and went into a store and ask the people would they come to the meeting. The fellow said, "I don't believe no such nonsense." Said, "If the man could do that, why, don't he go down here to the hospital and raise all the sick?" See?
Now, it just goes to show that it's a mental deficiency; that's all. Well, the man that even knows the Bible, Jesus Christ didn't even do that. He didn't claim to do that. He passed right by and worst than a hospital, about four or five thousand people laying at the pool of Bethesda, just crippled, and lame, and halt and blind, and walked right through and never healed a one of them. Walked out there to a little man laying on a pallet, and knew he was laying there, and made him well, and walked away. And the Jews questioned Him. Now, listen what He said.
He said, Saint John 5:19. He said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you..." That word "verily" means "absolutely." "Absolutely, absolutely, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing: that doeth the Son likewise. The Father shows Me what to do, and I go do it. The Father worketh, and I worketh hitherto." See? "I don't do nothing in Myself. I do just as He tells Me to do."
Now, that is the Word of God. How many's ever read that, say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Saint John 5:19. Then Jesus, when He was here on earth, He could perceive their thoughts of the people. He--He done just... The Father showed Him a vision, He'd go do it just as the Father told Him; but didn't do nothing except the Father told Him. He can't lie. He was God.
He said, "I do nothing except the Father shows Me."
