<TITLE>19. Par 62-64</TITLE>L-62 Now, are you the lady? You're supposed to come here just a moment...?... Now, be real reverent. You can walk just a little closer if you will, lady. Here stands a lady, and she's, of course, wearing glasses. We know there's something wrong with her eyes, except they be reading glasses. A person past thirty-five, forty years old, they're actually their eyeballs get flat, and just use reading glasses for close reading. That's the regular procedure, like your hair turning gray or anything else.
But she looks healthy to me, and she's a stranger to me. I never saw her in my life. I suppose that's it. We're strangers to each other? If we are, so the people would understand, raise up your hand?
Now, here is a picture again, of a Bible picture. This is...?... Our Lord Jesus, in Saint John 4, was talking to a woman that came out to get some water at a well. He'd never seen her. And she came to get some water, and when she got the water and started to put it on her head to walk away, our Lord Jesus said to her, "Woman, bring Me a drink."
And she being a Samaritan, and Him a Jew, there was a law of segregation, so she said, "It's not customary for You to ask such. We have no dealings, the Samaritans and Jews." He packed the conversation a bit till He caught her spirit.
And when He did, He said to her... He found out some trouble she had. And we believe in America, I know the eastern idea is different, but we believe in America that she had five husbands. The Bible said she did. And Jesus said, "The husband you got now is not yours, and you're living with him." So there must have been something wrong.

L-63 And when the disciples found them, it wasn't no disgrace for a man to talk to a woman in public, but they was astonished that--that Jesus talking to such a person. The Bible said they was. So if the eastern idea is different from that, why, it's all right. Whatever it was, it was a woman talking.
And the woman... He said... He contacted her spirit, and He found where her trouble was. And He said, "Go, get your husband."
She said, "I don't have no husband."
Now, watch. She witnessed she didn't have a husband. But Jesus said, "You've had five, and the one you have now is not yours." The lady said the truth.
What did she say? "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet." Is that right? Now, watch what she went on to talk. Then she said, "We know that when the Messiah cometh..." How many believe Jesus was the Messiah of God? Certainly. She said, "We, the Samaritans..." She was a religious person that went to the church and knowed the laws anyhow.
She said, "We know that when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us this, or all things." But she couldn't make out Who He was.
He said, "I'm He that talks to you, that speaketh to you."
And she run into the city and said, "Come, see a Man that told me these things. Isn't this the Messiah?"

L-64 Now, if that was the sign of the Messiah then, and He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, it's the sign of the Messiah now. That is to the believer. But what was that sign to the big high orthodox church men? A devil, a fortuneteller, a Beelzebub, a mental telepathy. It's the same sign to them now.
"Little while and the world sees Me no more, yet ye will see Me. I'll continue. I'm not going to die and just stay dead. I'm going to raise again, and I'll be with you, even in you, to the end of the world. I'll be doing the same thing right on down to the end of the world."
Why, if that sister is...?... then Christ Spirit come down, if she is a believer, and He produce Himself again, and find out what she's standing here for. Is that right? And if He does do it... The woman could be an infidel; she could be an agnostic; she could be here for a frame up. Watch what happens.
