<TITLE>10. Par 24-25</TITLE>L-24 So Jairus, though was like many of today, had yoked hisself up in an organization, that he just simply couldn't wiggle away from, because he had a high name. Perhaps, let's call him, Dr. Jairus. See? He was a--had a great name of doctor, maybe, behind it. He was a priest. And he's a--he was a pastor of a great synagogue. But in his heart he'd followed Jesus of Nazareth, and he'd watched those miracles. He'd go home and study and look through the Scriptures. And he'd say, "That's just exactly..."
Let's think he was standing there that day when Simon come up. He went down to hear John preach, and he had heard about, he heard them announce Jesus, and seen this Light come down over Him there, and settle down upon Him. And we seen that same Light was on Him, tell that old fisherman, "Why, your name is Simon, and you're the son of Jonas." Maybe, you know, his father was a might've been a member of this man's synagogue.
He said, "I know that Man didn't know him." And I went home and searched that out in the Scripture, and I found out that that was the sign of the Messiah. And then while I was standing there, and I--I was standing over on the other side, course, with the priests, and my brethren, and listening to see what I could hear say. And the brethren, they said, "What are we going to do when we go back?"
When Philip come up and had Nathanael, and that... Jesus stood there and told Nathanael who he was, and where he found him, and so forth like that. And we seen Nathanael, he was maybe studying to be a preacher, and he said, "Why, Rabbi, You're the Son of God, the King of Israel."
He said, "You believe because I told you that?"

L-25 And maybe, He was setting out there also to hear the woman at the well, and--and stand at the gate that time when blind Bartimaeus was out there crying, "Jesus, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me." He couldn't have touched Him.
If you go to... If you was ever at the place, they marked where Bartimaeus was setting and where Jesus was when he called Him, oh, my. All that mob, howling, saying, "Say, they me you raise the dead. We got a graveyard full of them up here. Come up and raise some of them, we'll believe you." See? How could He ever heard all... But his faith touched Him.
Like little Zacchaeus, that I told the Christian Business Men, setting up in the tree like that, said, "Now, Rebekah told me that He--He knowed all things and could... God spoke through Him and He was Messiah. So I'll pull all these limbs around me, and--and He will never know I'm setting up here."
So when Jesus stopped there under the tree, a looked up, and said, "Zacchaeus, come down. Going home with you."...
