<TITLE>04. Par 13-15</TITLE>L-13 Now, I believe if we make this...?... so that you'll see that I'm not getting out of the Scripture. The Scriptures is what we believe in, and when God has made a promise, then God must stay with His promise. He cannot leave the promise and remain God.
Perhaps they rowed out a few hundred yards, and they'd make a stroke or two with the two-handed oar. And as they had to do then kinda on a teamwork, pulling the little ship off the... Sailing, along cutting the water in the quiet Galilee Sea as the calmly upon the sea at the sundown...
And on the shore the people were waving, asking them to come back again, visit them, and as the last one dimmed out, the last farewell, the disciples must've rowed pretty heavy then, knowing they had quite a question to cross that sea through the night to be over there on the other side.
After about, just about dark so they couldn't see the people any more, it must've been the young John that stopped oaring, and maybe not as used to the oaring as the rest of the hardened seamen was. Stopped and brushed the hair back from his face and had taken a little breath, a little time to breathe, to kindy catch their breath from oaring so hard, trying to get a--as much across as they could before it got dark.

L-14 And I imagine they started a testimony meeting, and young John must've said something like this: "My brethren, after today I don't believe there could be any of us ever think that we're a following a deceiver. I believe in my way of thinking, He proved Himself today to be exactly what we expected Him to be."
"Say, did you brethren notice today when that crowd of hungry people that had thronged around Him to hear the Word of God, and to see how they pressed, and pushed to get around, and some of them hadn't eaten all day, and those mothers how pale they looked with their little babies and nursing and so forth, and the sick pressing around..."

L-15 "But when He asked for that fishes, and I seen that little boy, and he brought that little--five little biscuits or two little pieces of fish up there, and He set them all down by fifty's upon the grassy hillside... And I, myself, wondered what He was going to do, when He just had one little lunch that some little boy perhaps, playing truant from school run off, and he heard the crowd, and he went upon the hill to see what was taking place, and so fascinating he just forgot about his lunch. He wanted to see what this great speaker was saying, watch what He was doing."
"And when I noticed Him take that bread, them little pieces of biscuits, hold them up and bless them... When I seen Him break that bread, and put it over into the hands of we brethren, and reach back off of that same biscuit, and get another piece of biscuit... And when He reached back again, there was another piece of biscuit already grown, and baked, and seasoned, and ready for eating."
