<TITLE>11. Par 40-44</TITLE>L-40 But there was those standing by who down in their heart they said, "This man is that evil one, that fortuneteller, Beelzebub."
And Jesus perceived their thoughts, what they were thinking about. And He turned to them. Now, the Bible said they didn't say it out loud, but they said it in their heart. And Jesus, knowing their hearts, He turned to them and said, "You say that about Me, I'll forgive you. But the day will come when the Holy Ghost comes to do the same thing. One word against It will never be forgiven in this world or the world to come."

L-41 In the 4th chapter of Saint John, He had need to go by Samaria. And there was a woman of Samaria come out to get water. We believe her to be a woman of ill fame. Jesus sent His disciples into the town, because He had had a vision on what was going to happen, 'cause later He said so.
And the woman started to let down the bucket to get the water. And He said, "Woman, bring Me a drink."
And she, astonished, turned to look to see this Jew, and she said, "It's not customary for you Jews to ask us women of Samaria to such things as that, of Samaria." Said, "Because we have no dealings with each other, a segregation."
He said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink, and I'd give you water you don't come here to draw."
She said, "The well's deep, and You've got nothing to draw with."

L-42 What was He doing? Carrying her conversation. Finally, the Father revealed what was in her heart. How many knows what was in her heart? What she'd done? So, Jesus said, "Go get your husband and come here."
She said, "I have no husband." She said...
He said to her, "Thou has said well, 'I have no husband,' because you've had five husbands; and the one that you're now living with is not your husband. Wherefore, you've said right."
Now, what did she say? "You are Beelzebub?" No. She said, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. Now, we know, we Samaritans, we know when the Messiah cometh, He will tell us these things. But Who are You?"
He said, "I'm He."
And she run into the city. Listen to her message. "Come, see a Man Who's told me the things that I've done. Isn't this the Messiah?" And they went out and believed. Is that right?

L-43 Now, that was Jews and Gentiles, Ham and Shem's people. Japheth's people is next; that's us. The Gentiles wasn't looking for the coming of Christ then. The Jews and Samaritans was. Now the Jews and Samaritans are off to one side, because they rejected Him in whole. God took a remnant out of them. And now, it's the Gentiles, for two thousand years has waited for the coming of the Lord. God is a just God, and promised that these same things would take place just before the coming of the Messiah, because it's a pressing of His Spirit coming, getting His Church ready. The Balm is to return to Gilead.

L-44 Now, Jesus said in Saint John 5 (the next chapter), when He passed through the gate, and there was a man crippled there, and--and lots of crippled, impotent people, thousands of them. He went under the pool of Bethesda. And He looked all around; the Father had showed Him a vision, where a man was laying on a little pallet that had some kind of a retarded disease. He'd had it thirty-eight years. And He passed blind, crippled, halt, lame, went by them until He found this man laying on a pallet. And He said, "Will thou be made whole?"
He said, "But I have no one to put me in the water."
He said, "Take up thy bed and go into the house."
And the man never questioned. He picked up the bed and went into the house.
