<TITLE>05. Par 20-23</TITLE>L-20 Now, he said, "I'll tell you what we'll do. Now, He claims to be a prophet. And He claims that He sees things and foreknows things, but we know that He's a faker. We know there's nothing to Him. We church people, we who's got the education, we who are smart and know all the degree, we know there's nothing to that guy. He's nothing in the world but a Beelzebub. And did... You ought to have heard Rabbi Jones when this Galilean told him what he was. Oh, did he blow up. And now, will he have fun to know that I've got Him right down here, and we'll pin Him down good, right here, and prove that He's nothing but a faker. So we'll get Him here. So I'll just send my favorite runner, flunky, up there. He will get Him. Oh, I ought to have thought of this a long time ago. Well, I better get busy now and get my invitations out." 'Cause you couldn't attend a Palestinian banquet without having an invitation.

L-21 So, then I hear him say, "I tell you what I believe I'll do. You know, instead of having out here so that people can see what I'm doing, and I'll send and have the very best of cooks to come. And I'll get me a lamb and I'll--I'll barbecue it and roast it in spices, and oh, I'll make everybody lick their lips and--and I'll have a great big dinner for everybody. And... That I want... Or not everybody, not the poor, but them that I select. And then, after the dinner is all over, will we have some fun out of this here Jesus of Nazareth. We'll prove that He's no prophet. And will Jones and them laugh. Oh, that'll be wonderful."
"You know what, I believe I just won't have it inside the houses here, and the corridors of the house. You know, I've got a nice big front yard there, and those delicious grapes, white grapes, oh, they're just now coming in ripe. And won't that be wonderful just to set my table out there?"

L-22 And can they put on, what we call, "the dog," they sure can. And they really fix things up in a big way. You ought to see the way they do it. My. But that's just about the way we try to entertain Jesus, cooking up a big soup supper somewhere and selling it for fifty cents a plate to pay the preacher. That's right. We're not much different. That's right.
I told you I was going to talk to you tonight on the worst sinner in the city.
Now, so he had everything. He said, "I'll fix that up out there and what a time I'll have. And we'll be right on the outside, right back under the--where these great big grapes are hanging down. It'll be beautiful. The odor is fine. And I'll cook up my lambs. And..."

L-23 Could they really... They got those Indian servants over there. And many times, they're so trained, the Indians are, till they wear little bells on their shoes. And when they walk, they just almost can play a tune with that, as they're walking. And they're so polite how they handle the platter, you know, just with all the--the dignity that you could think of.
Said, "Oh, I'll have it really fixed up." And in that day, poor people all over the country... Well, he was going to get it all fixed up. So he gets everything groomed and everything together.
And after while, the final time is just about to draw near at hand. So he goes in and he decorates his room. He fixes it all up beautiful, and how they can decorate too with their interior. You know, how they put on that, fix everything looking so nice.
