<TITLE>11. Par 36-40</TITLE>L-36 And when on the road around, I can just hear them talking. And he said, "You remember what... We went, got some fish that time, and the old fisherman could not sign his name to it, that fellow called Simon?"
"Yes, I remember."
"When he walked up into the Presence of this Messiah, He told him his name was Simon. And do you remember his daddy?"
"Sure."
"What was his name?"
"Jonas."
"All right. He said, 'You are the son of Jonas.' Now, Nathanael, you are a Scriptural student. What will the Messiah be when He comes?"
"He will be a prophet."
"Well, does that fulfill it?"
"Oh, yes, if He could do it, but I don't believe He'd do it."
I can hear Philip say, "It wouldn't surprise me but what He tells who you are when you come up."

L-37 Walked up then, and they got into the Presence of the Lord Jesus, and Jesus looked around and seen him. He said, "Behold, an Israelite in whom there's no guile." Now, you say, 'cause he was dressed... No, all easterners dress the same. They have beards, turbans, and ever--dark complected. Said, "Behold, an Israelite in whom there's no guile."
He said, "Rabbi ('Rabbi' means 'Teacher.'), when did You ever see me? I'm a total stranger to You. When did You ever see me?"
He said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree (fifteen miles around the mountain), I saw you."
He said, "Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God; You are the King of Israel."
You remember what the Pharisees and the teachers said, standing there? Said, "This man's Beelzebub. He's a fortuneteller."
Jesus said, "I forgive you for that, but someday the Holy Spirit's coming to do the same thing. And you speak one word against it, it'll never be forgiven." That's today.

L-38 Now... what a testimony. Then it must've been Andrew (as I draw a little closer to my testimony); Andrew said, "Could I testify just a minute, brethren? You remember the day that...?"
Now, it's getting darker and darker. The evening star had come out. And so said, "Could I have a little testimony?"
(Is the lady just going out, she has to...? Is going out, she'll be back in a few moments? All right. Just I was going to say, if she... Don't let her leave without being prayed for. We want everybody prayed for.)

L-39 So now said, "Do you remember that day that Jesus, our Lord, said that He had to go down to Jericho?" Now, from Jerusalem to Jericho, if you've ever been there, it's right down the mountain. But He had need go by Samaria. Why? The Jews had heard it, and the Samaritans hadn't heard it.
Now, the Gentiles wasn't looking for no Christ. And let me say something right here to you, you sick people. He only comes to those who are looking for Him. True. When you talk of Him, like on the road from Emmaus... And He only comes to those who believe Him. He will never have nothing to do with an unbeliever. He only comes... And Gentiles, we worshipped idols in them days.

L-40 And there's only three races of people--that's Ham, Shem, and Japheth's people. That's where the whole human race sprang from; and that's Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritans. Look at Peter with the keys: opened it at Pentecost, opened it to the Samaritans, opened it at the Gentiles, and then she's free to the world. See?
Now, and so now we notice, said, "He sent us down into the city of Sychar there to get something to eat, some vittles. And you remember when we come up we was surprised. A woman with a mark of prostitution upon her was on her road to the well, and there was no one there. So we thought we'd just see what she said to our master, and see what He did when He met a woman. So we hid in the bushes. (Now, listen close to the cont--and the testimony.) And the first thing happened when He walked up--she walked up to let down the kettle, the pot, for some water, started to raise up the--the pot like that, why, He said, 'Woman, bring Me a drink.'"
