<TITLE>10. Par 35-38</TITLE>L-35 Well healing's in here also. And His promise is to you. That's right. By His stripes you were healed. It's all settled as far as God is concerned. See? Jesus has paid the price.
Now, in Saint John 1 we find a fellow by the name of Philip and Andrew. And Andrew was Simon Peter's brother so he went and got his brother, and his name was Simon. And he told him to come see Who he'd found. He took him in the Presence of Jesus. Let's watch the great Holy Spirit now.
And as soon as he came into the Presence of Jesus, Jesus said, "Your name is so-and-so: and you're going to be called Cephas, Peter, which is by interpretation, 'a little stone.' And your father's name is Jonas." Now, you see if that's the Scriptures. How many knows that's Scripture?
That was Jesus yesterday. As soon as this man met Him, He knowed who he was and who his father was. Peter later was given the keys to the Kingdom. That's right.

L-36 Then this fellow Philip, which was of the city of Andrew and Peter, he had a good friend which was a church member, very good man, was looking for something to take place. He goes thirty miles around the mountain (if you're ever in Palestine you could look it up) from where Jesus was having His revival, thirty miles around the mountain by foot and found a fellow by the--by the name of Nathanael, which was his buddy.
And when he came up, Nathanael was under a tree praying. And he said just, "Come, see Who we have found, Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph."
And we would call this without any feelings. Maybe Nathanael was a very good Presbyterian, or a Baptist, or some other denomination, Catholic. Well, he raised up and he said, "Now, just a moment. Could there be any good thing come out of Nazareth?"
And I think that he gave him the best answer that any man can give. He said, "Come, see."
That's the best way. Come, be convinced yourself. Don't just...?... yourself and run out. Set down; wait till it's over. Go back the next night. Test it out. Come and see. Don't stay at home and criticize, but come, see for yourself.

L-37 And he just made ready and started around the mountain with Philip. And on the road around, no doubt but what, Philip begin to tell him, "You know that old fisherman down there, old fellow Simon?"
"Yes."
"You know, as soon as he got into the Presence of this One from Galilee, from Nazareth, He told him what his name was, and what his father's name was. Well, it would be no mystery to me if He didn't tell you who you were when you come."
See, he'd seen something. He knowed what he was talking about. Oh, I can imagine Nathanael saying, "Now, just a moment. You probably went off on the deep end."
"Well, come on. You said you'd go and see."

L-38 And on the road when they come up into the place where Jesus was praying for the sick, he might've stood out in the audience. He might have come into the line. That I don't know. But when he come in the Presence of the Lord Jesus, Jesus said, "Behold, an Israelite in whom there is no guile."
Now, that was strange. Weigh that up a minute. Find out. All people dressed alike. He could've been a Greek. He could've been an Arab. And he could've been anything else. But Jesus said that, "You are of Israelite, a honest and just man."
It astonished the little fellow. And he said, "Rabbi, when did You know me? Why this is Your first time ever seeing me. When did You ever know me?"
And Jesus said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree I saw you." What eyes. Thirty miles around the mountain. "I saw you under the tree." That was Jesus yesterday. If He's the same today, He's got to be the same today, and will be forever.
