<TITLE>10. Par 32-34</TITLE>L-32 Just a few days before that a woman had touched His garment and was made whole. Here He comes, garments full of virtue, walking, passed by the mother with the water-head baby, passed by the blind man.
And if you'd ever taken the history of it, the Angel come down and troubled the water. You know what troubled waters are: current going one way and winds blowing another way. It's a dangerous water, and they believed it was an Angel. And ever who stepping into the water, had enough faith, stopped that moving of the water, and they got well of what disease they had. And they laid there by the multitudes. Many of them didn't believe that. But those who believed it, it was healing for them. God's always had a way of healing His people.
So those stepping in first and I've read books on it where they said that they'd even stab one another, trying to rush in and to get in there first, 'cause as soon as the first one stepped in with enough faith to pull the virtue of the Angel away, then He didn't come back maybe for a month or two, another season. And they laid there constantly waiting: what patience.

L-33 And Jesus walked right around them blind, deaf, lame, halt, withered; never said a thing, till He come to a man laying on a pallet.
How many of you Californians know what a pallet is? Well, what part of Kentucky did you come from? I was raised on one. Just lay something down on the floor and lay down.
Laying on a pallet... He might've had a prostate trouble. He might've had--he might've had TB; whatever it was, he'd had it thirty-eight years. It was retarded. It wasn't going to kill him. He could walk. And Jesus knowing... Watch, Jesus knowing that he'd been in this condition all this time, He said, "Wilt thou be made whole?" Why not the blind man? Why not the crippled man? But see He was directed.
Now, watch his answer. And he said, "I have no one to put me in the water. While I'm coming, somebody's in better shape than me outruns me and gets in there (See?), gets in ahead of me." He could walk. He could go, but there's some there couldn't walk. See? And we'd say He had compassion? Human sympathy is not compassion. Know the will of God is compassion. That's right.
So He said, "Wilt thou be made whole?"
He said, "I have no one to put me in the water; when I'm coming. Someone steps ahead of me."
He said, "Take up thy bed and go into thy house."
He never questioned one more thing. For Jesus knowed he wouldn't question. Picked it up and put it on his back and went on. Jesus was questioned about it. Let Him do the same thing today, and He will be questioned about it.

L-34 Someone say, "Here's old Brother So-and-so. He's a good old man, belonged to church all of his life, selling pencils on the corner, make him whole. Why did you pass him by?"
Watch Jesus put the answer to them the same day when they caught Him. Asked Him the question. Saint John 5:19: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing in himself, but what He sees the Father doing." How many knows that's the Scripture--the Scripture? The Scriptures can't fail.
So Jesus could only do what God showed Him in a vision to do, and that made Him a prophet; more than a prophet, He was the God Prophet. He was the God of the prophets.
