<TITLE>11. Par 37-40</TITLE>L-37 But if somebody is trying to do something and yet making blunders, and you're doing nothing, then keep still of that thing. They're getting souls saved anyhow. So what they doing? Working against it. I'd rather be found making a mistake, than crying on the sideline criticizing those who are trying to do something anyhow: certainly would.
All right. Philip said, "Come and see." That's a good thing. Come find out, then pass your opinion.
And as he come up into the line where Jesus was praying for the sick, as He always was. Or wherever He went the people brought to Him the sick and afflicted. And Jesus turns and looks that staunch Jew in the face, and said, "Behold, an Israelite..." Now, he could've been a Greek or anything. They all dressed alike, beards and turbans. Said, "Behold, an Israelite in whom there's no guile." It astonished him.
Said, "Rabbi, when did You know me?"
And Jesus looked straight into his face, and said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I saw you." Thirty miles around the mountain, what eyes.

L-38 That was Jesus yesterday. If He is the same today, He does the same today. Is that right? Now, notice, what did this man say, upon whom the miracle was performed. You'll say, "A miracle?" Certainly, was a miracle. Anything that's supernatural's a miracle.
He said, "Rabbi..." Now, this is a Jew now. "Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God. Thou art the King of Israel."
And He said, "Because I said this to you, thou believest? Thou shall see greater things than this."
But now the Jew turned and said, "He's Beelzebub, the chief fortuneteller." And He told them if they spoke that against Him, it would be forgiven, but when the Holy Ghost come to do the same thing, to speak against that would never be forgiven.

L-39 Now, let's follow Him along. Peter came to Him. And you know what? He knowed that man's name, and knowed who his daddy was. He said, "Your name's Simon. You're the son of Jonas." That kindly of startled him. That was Jesus yesterday.
Now, we find out that a little woman had a blood issue, and she pressed through the crowd to touch the border of His garment. And now the Palestinian garment has an underneath garment, because of dust getting on the legs, and then a robe that went over that.
And Jesus, thronged with the people pressing Him, and that little woman touching His garment, if she'd touch your coat you'd never feeled it, physically. And she turned and went out into the audience, and Jesus stopped them all and said, "Who touched Me? Someone touched Me."
And Peter withstood Him and said, "Why, all--everybody's touching you, and why sayest Thou, "Who touched Me?'"
He said, "But I perceive that I have gotten weak. Virtue's went from Me." It was a different kind of touch.

L-40 Now, there is... Oh, don't miss this. That's where this educated, high-headed world today is a missing it. They're putting their name on church books, but failing to touch with the feeling. See?
And he turned, and he said, "The whole multitude's touched You." And He looked, and every one of them denied it. But He was endued with a power. God was in Him.
And if all that God was, was poured out into Christ, and all that Christ was, was poured into the Church by the Holy Ghost, then the Bible said (New Testament, Hebrews) that He's still tonight... Here it is. He is a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities. You can still touch Him.
