<TITLE>13. Par 45-48</TITLE>L-45 Now, remember, there was those standing there who saw Jesus do that. You know what they said? They were great preachers, great teachers, orthodox--and their belief. But they said, "This man is Beelzebub. He's a fortuneteller."
What did Jesus say to them? They didn't say it out loud, but He perceived their thoughts. We all know that's Scripture. He perceived their thoughts, and He turned to them, and He said, "I'll forgive you for that," for those evil thoughts, calling the works of God an evil spirit doing it, a Beelzebub, a fortuneteller. Today, they'd call it something like that, or telepathy, but a evil name to the works of God. He said, "But someday the Holy Ghost will come to do the same thing. (Now, here's where it puts us). One word against It, will never be forgiven in this world, neither in the world that is to come." That's how sacred it is. "One word against It will never be forgiven in this world, nor in the world that is to come."
So you see, if He is doing this, what position it puts us in. It seals us on one side or the other. The separating time has come: the investigating judgment.

L-46 Now, we find many other places... We'll take the next chapter... Well, we... First, let's go... Now, there's a Jew, Gentile, and Samaritan. Now, not one time did He ever do that sign before a Gentile. You cannot find it in the Scriptures. Gentiles was we Anglo-Saxons, Gentiles... We weren't looking for any Messiah to come. We had clubs on our backs and worshipped idols (See?): heathens, Romans, and so forth.
Now, but He comes to those who are looking for Him. He did it in that day. If He's the same yesterday, today, and forever, He will do it again today. He comes for those who are looking for Him, those who are longing, like those Greeks were: "We would see Jesus."

L-47 Now, He was on His road down to Jericho, which was down below the mountain (where Jerusalem is on the mountain). But He said He had need to go by Samaria. Now, of the city of Sychar... Now, we noticed that Samaria sets up the road this way. Go up this way and then go down to Jericho, way out of His way. But He went up to this certain Samaritan city, of Samaria. And He set down and sent His disciples away to get some food.
And while they were gone, there was a woman of, well, ill-fame, we would call her in America, here... That she was a--a woman of ill-fame. How many knows what was wrong with her? She'd broke her marriage vows. She had five husbands. And maybe, let's say, she was a beautiful woman. And everyone was away.
And if you was ever there, the well still stands. It's a little panoramic, something like this.

L-48 And Jesus--He was only thirty years old, or not quite thirty-three, but yet, He must've looked older. When He was talking, in Saint John 6, to the Jews when they was having the feast, and they were drinking this water, representing the water from the rock smitten in the wilderness, He said, "I am that Rock that was in the wilderness."
Oh, they... Oh, that stirred up their righteous indignation. And they said, "You mean to tell me that you saw Abraham, and you're a man not over fifty years old?" He looked fifty, but He was only thirty. His work probably did it to Him, maybe graying a bit or so.
Well, what did He say to them? "Before Abraham was, I AM." He was Abraham's God. See? But there He was, just dressed in clothes like an ordinary man. So the man might've looked a little aged.
