<TITLE>16. Par 51-53</TITLE>L-51 Now, and there when He went over to this little old man laying on a pallet, and said, "Will thou be made whole?" Why? Watch what the Scripture said, "For Jesus knew that he had been a long..." Thirty-eight years... That man had been sick in the same amount of years since I was a little baby down here on the hillside, a few miles below here. Thirty-eight years he'd had this infirmity. Maybe a prostate--prostate gland, or TB. It was retarded; it wasn't going to kill him. Why would Jesus pass by the cripple, lame, halt, blind, and withered, and go over there?
Notice, He said, "Will thou be made whole?"
And he said, "Sir, I have no one to put me in the water. I can walk and everything, but while I'm coming down somebody outruns me and gets in there ahead of me."
He said, "Take up thy bed and go into thy house."

L-52 And when the Jews found him... Read the whole chapter, 5th chapter. Let's take the 19th verse; listen what He said, 19th verse. The Jews questioning. If Jesus was in CAMPBELLSVILLE tonight, He would be questioned too, if He passed. And of such a scene as that, He passed by there and left them people laying there. Watch what he said. They said, "Rabbi," about the man.
And He said, listen now, 19th verse, "Verily, verily..." that's a Hebrew word, is not used here, it means "Absolutely, absolutely." "Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing in Himself, but what He sees the Father doing: that doeth the Son likewise."
Now, listen close. Jesus did never claim to be a healer. Jesus said, "It's not Me that doeth the works: it's My Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works. He shows Me what to do by vision, and I go do it."

L-53 Now, to save time... We could go on through the Bible. Jesus, when He went to leave the earth, He said this: "A little while, and the world will see Me no more." Is that right? All Scripture readers know that, Bible readers. "A little while and the world will see Me no more." That's the worldly people, the worldly crowd, the unbelievers. He was a fanatic to them then; He's a fanatic to them now. "A little while, and the world will see Me no more; yet ye shall see Me." There's going to be some ye's. "Yet ye shall see me, for I (personal pronoun), I will be with you, even to the end of the world." Is that correct? That the Scripture?
Jesus said in Saint John 14:7, "The things that I do shall you do also. The same kind of ministry I'm doing, this is the faith that I'm presenting to you saints. The things that I do shall you do also; greater," the right translation, any of you translators in here of the Bible, the right translation is not greater by quantity, because you couldn't do greater by... He stopped nature, raised the dead, healed the sick, done everything. But He said, "More than this shall you do; for I go to the Father," Jesus the same yesterday, today, and forever.
