<TITLE>06. Par 17-18</TITLE>L-17 What do you think His disciples thought of Him that day? Jesus was a Seer, not only a seer, but He was the King of the seers. And they... He--He had power. He could discern the thoughts of the people. He could foretell things that would be. And He said, "I do nothing till the Father shows Me."
And then to see a Man that had that power, that could say to a man coming up in His audience, "Behold, an Israelite, in whom there's no guile."...
He said, "When did You know me, Rabbi."
Said, "'Fore Philip called you, around four or five miles behind the hill here, I saw you when you was under that tree."
How could a Man Who set by a well one day, and a woman come out of the city, a prostitute, and came out of the city to get some water... And He said, "Bring Me a drink."
She said, "You have nothing to draw with. And it's not customary for the Jews to ask Samaritans such."
And carry a conversation with the woman, said, "Go get your husband."
She said, "I have none."
Said, "That's right. You got five, the one you have now..."
How could a Man that could see the future and things like that, the power that He had...
"How could a Man," thought Peter, "that when we was there and broke and didn't have any money, and He lifted up His eyes for a few minutes and prayed, said, 'Peter, go cast a hook down into the lake, and pick up that fish, and look in his mouth and get a coin, give it to them.'" My.

L-18 How could a Man that could take five little pieces of fish and five biscuits and two pieces of fish, and break them, and feed five thousand? Not just wiggling fish, but cooked fish. What did He... How'd He do it? What kind of an atom did He turn loose there? What kind of a power did He have?
Remember, five thousand people out of two fish, took these little fellows, and broke it off, and handed it out, broke off another piece. And every time He'd break it off another piece would be growed on, cooked fish, already cooked, and fried in Crisco, ready to go, ready growed it all. What a Person. Not break off, raise up some wheat and go cook it and things like that, the regular procedure, but could bypass all of that. Just break off cooked bread and hand it out to them with brown crust on it. Said, "Take it and eat it." Oh, my.
How could that Man stand with a rag around His face and a cruel mocking infidel soldier, smack Him on top of the head with a reed, and saying, "Now, if you're a prophesier tell us who hit you." How could a man like that do that? How could it ever be? How could that Man be screaming for mercy on the cross, Who had showed mercy? How could a Man Who could raise the dead, die like a--between thieves, like a malefactor on the cross? How could a Man with all that power at His disposal, hang to the cross like that, and look up into the heavens, and hear them railing Jews say, "If Thou art the Christ, come down off the cross and we'll believe You. If You are a prophet, tell us who hit You on the head with this stick, and we'll believe You." All the powers to do it, and watch.
