<TITLE>11. Par 32-34</TITLE>L-32 That was Jesus yesterday, manifesting Himself to the Jews. If that's the way He manifests Himself to the Jews He's obligated to the same thing. If a decision is to be made, and He makes it in a certain way, He's got to make the next time the same, because God's infinite and can't change. Got to do it. Now remember, never was that done to a Gentile, a Jew.
And now, this man who the miracle was performed on... You say, "That was a miracle?" A lot greater than it would healing a man in a wheelchair. A man under emotion could jump up out of a wheelchair, but never could that take place outside of a spiritual power.
He said, "Rabbi, You are the Son of God."
How did he know He was the Son of God? He was a theologian; he was waiting for Him. He said, "You are the Son of God; You are the King of Israel."
Jesus said, "Because I told you I saw you under the tree, you believe Me? Then you can see greater things than this; come, follow Me."

L-33 He was a believer. But of course, there stood the Orthodox alone, those great, big Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, and Pentecostals, who had all the degrees, you know, standing there. Well, they had to pacify their congregation some way. They said, "This man is Beelzebub; he's a fortuneteller." They have to pin it on something; they can't figure it out. They have to place it on something. And they said, "This man has mental telepathy. He's a fortuneteller. And he does this by the spirit of the devil."
Jesus turned, and He said, "You say that against Me; I'll forgive you. But when the Holy Ghost is come and does the same thing, one word against It will never be forgiven in this world, neither in the world to come." Now, what about it? Prophesying that the Holy Ghost would come and would do the same thing, and one word against It... No wonder we're ready for judgment. When the Holy Ghost is come to do the same thing, one word will never be forgiven in this world nor the world to come.

L-34 Then I want to take one more person. There was another nationality of people; they were Samaritans. And anyone know the Samaritan hung on to the Jewish religion, did you know that? Certainly. Saint John, I'm now in Saint John the 3rd chapter; I'm going to Saint John 4. In Saint John 4 He had need to go by Samaria. He was tired in His way; He set down by a wall, a little panoramic like this. If any of you have ever been there at Samaria and seen the well; it's a public pump or well where the people comes from the city to draw their water. He set down. It was about eleven o'clock in the day, or twelve. He sent His disciples into the city to get some food.
While He was setting there resting, 'cause He was weary and tired. Now notice, He had need to go by. And in Saint John 4 He was setting at this well, and a woman come out. Let's just say she was a pretty woman, young, in her twenties, very pretty, and her--a lovely looking person, and she came out. She'd took a road that was wrong; she would've been living in adultery, as we call it today, a prostitute. And she came out to the well to get water. Maybe it was because that she'd slept all morning, been up all night. Or maybe, the real fact of it is, she couldn't come there where decent women was; she was an outcast. In them days they marked them. What if they marked them today? You certainly see a great segregation.
