<TITLE>17. Par 72-75</TITLE>L-72 Now, as we notice Him. And as she picks up this pot to set on her head, this Hebrew said to her, "Bring Me a drink." Well now, there was a segregation in the land, just like in the south today, the segregation between white and colored.
And Jesus let her know right quick that there was no difference in human beings. See? Said, "You... We Samaritans, or you Jews have nothing to do--no dealings with we Samaritans. And we have no dealings with you," in other wise.
Now, what was Jesus doing? Now, you have to take my word for this. The Father had sent Him up there, but He was contacting her spirit. See? There was something wrong. So He looked at her. And He said, "Bring Me a drink."
She said, "Not custom for you to ask that."
He said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to you'd ask Me for a drink. I bring you water you don't come here to draw."
She said, "This well's great. Our father Jacob dug it." See, a Samaritan is a half Jew and Gentile. And said, kind of, oh, we would call it today, kind of a (I don't know) renegade or something. So anyhow, when she said, "Our father Jacob dug the well. His cattle drank from it," and so forth, "and he drank from it. And You're... got water greater than this water."

L-73 Jesus kept on with His conversation 'cause the Father hadn't told Him nothing yet. And she said, "You... We worship in this mountain, you say at Jerusalem."
And Jesus said, "Yes. We Jews know salvation, where it so, and all..." The conversation went on at length, till after while the vision struck. And He know where her trouble was. And you want to know what it was? Sure. Said, "Go, get your husband."
She said, "I don't have any."
Watch. Here's a Samaritan. What was Nathanael? A Jew. Here's a Samaritan. He said... "I have no husband, Sir."
He said, "That's right. You've got five." Now, listen, closely. Watch what Samaria's going to say.
What did the Jew say? "Thou art the Son of God," because He did it.
What did the intellectual, religious class believe? "You're Beelzebub, the devil. That's your mental telepathy or fortune-telling. You're the chief of all of it. You cast out devils by Beelzebub."
And there's where Jesus settled the question once for... If Satan can cast out Satan, his kingdom's divided and can't stand. So Satan can't cast out Satan. Healing don't come from the devil.

L-74 Notice. What did He say? She said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet." A prophet is a seer. Said, "I perceive that You are a prophet. We know, we Samaritans, we know that when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things." But she couldn't understand Who He was. She said, "Now, we're taught to believe that when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things. He will tell--tell us all things, when Messiah cometh. But by You telling me where my trouble was, You must be a prophet. But when Messiah cometh He will tell us all thing."
Jesus said, "I am He that speaks to you."
That was Jesus yesterday. If He's the same, He's the same today. So she ran into the city and said, "Come, see a Man Who told me the things that I've did. Isn't this the very Messiah?" In other words, it was the sign of the Messiah.

L-75 In their cold, intellectual theologies, they had got away from the true teaching of the Bible, to look for those things. And history repeats itself. And prophecy is usually compound meanings. You know what I'm speaking of.
Notice now as they move. We could take Him on and on. Down in the pool of Bethesda, the next chapter, the 5th, just keep Him through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. It's every time the same.
Let's take just one statement here before we call the prayer line, pray for the people. He went down into the pool of Bethesda. Tomorrow night we'll take it on somewhere else, Lord willing.
