<TITLE>08. Par 33-38</TITLE>L-33 And she said, "It's not customary for you Jews to ask we Samaritans such. We have no dealings with one another. And You're a young man."
Now, the woman was of ill-fame. Said, "You're a young man, ask me such a question?"
Jesus said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me to give you a drink."
"Why," she said, "where... What are you going to draw it with? You haven't got no bucket, no rope. The well's deep. How could You give me any water?"
He said, "But the water that I give is waters of Life, springing up into the soul."
"Why," she said, "now... She seen He was religious then.

L-34 He said, "Well, now look," said, "our fathers worshipped in this mountain, but you say it's Jerusalem, and you're greater than this well that our father's dug and they... And so forth. And Jesus went on with the conversation.
Now, here's my interpretation. He was contacting her spirit. The Father sent Him up there, but there was the woman. Now, just a minute, and I'll prove that by the Scripture.
After He found what her trouble was, He said, "Go, get your husband and come here."
She said, "I don't have any husband."
He said, "That's right. You got five."

L-35 She turned and looked at Him. "Who is this young Fellow in the middle age here, this Jew setting here?" She said, "Rabb"... She said, "Sir, I perceive, or I understand, by this what You've told me, that You're a prophet."
Now, she never said, "He's Beelzebub." She said, "He was a prophet." She said, "I perceive that You're a prophet."
Now, listen what the Samaritans thought. Now, you see what the Jews thought. When the Jew come, and see Him do His sign... It's... He said, "Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God, the King of Israel."
Now, what's the Samaritans going to say? The Samaritan said, "I perceive that You're a prophet, and we know that when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things."

L-36 But she couldn't understand who He was. Said, "You must be a prophet, but we know that... We're looking for the coming of the Messiah. And when the Messiah comes, He's going to do this sign."
Jesus said, "I am He that speaks to you."
Oh, my. If that was the sign of the Messiah yesterday, it's the Messiahic sign today if He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Is that right?

L-37 A woman, a few days after that He was passing through a crowd going to heal a little sick girl, and a woman touched His garment. She said in herself, "If I can touch Him, I'll be well. He's a holy Man, and I believe Him to be just what He says He is." She touched His garment, and--and she ran back and hid herself in the crowd.
Jesus said, "Who touched Me? Who touched Me?"
And everybody... She and all of them... Nobody... "No, I never touched You."
And Peter, always, you know, with his boldness he stood out and said, "Lord, how could anybody tell? Everybody's touching You and why saith Thou, 'Who touched Me?' Why stop the--the procession as we're going on, standing here saying, 'Who touched Me, who touched Me?' when everybody's just a loving around You and every thing."
He said, "Yes, but I got weak. Somebody touched Me with faith."

L-38 That's the way today. We are lolling around the church and calling ourselves Christians, but I wonder where the faith is that brings the virtue. See, see? Calling ourselves Reverend, and Doctor, and Bishop, and... My, I just wonder where the faith touches that. "Holy Father" and so forth. Oh, my. We love great names and titles, don't we? Jesus said, "Your brethren."
But anyhow we--we don't we sing our anthems like we were the angelic choir and...?... an over-trained voice with their--that hold a note till you're blue in the face. That's not singing. I like this real good singing like I heard sung on the platform tonight, our Brother from Sweden and them singing "Down From His Glory." It's my favorite song. And to see people...
