<TITLE>16. Par 74-78</TITLE>L-74 He said, "The waters that I give is not in that well." All... Went on, the conversation went awhile (See?), till... What He was trying to do was contact her spirit. Then He found out where her trouble was. He said, "Go, get your husband and come here." (wanted to know who He was) Said, "Go, get your husband and come here."
She said, "I have no husband."
Said, "That's right. You've had five, and the one that you're living with now is not your husband."
She said, "Sir, I perceive that You're a prophet." Said, "We know when Messiah cometh He will do that."
He said, "I'm He that talks to you."
She come into the city. It was confirmed to her. She went into the city and said, "Come see a Man Who's told me the things that I've done. Isn't this the very Messiah? Isn't that a confirmation that He is?"
Jesus said, "The very works that I do confirm My commission." That's right. God sent Him. He was to be that prophet.

L-75 You know, they said to John, "Art thou Elias? Art--art thou one of the prophets? Art thou that prophet was to come?"
John said, "I'm not. But He's standing amongst you somewhere. He will prove Hisself when He comes 'cause God will a vindicate Him." That's exactly right. If a man's sent of God, God's obligated to vindicate that person (That's exactly right.) that he's been sent. Oh, yes, a confirmation...

L-76 The man that was born blind had a very convincing testimony that He was the Messiah. Now, the poor man, he didn't--he didn't... It was on of them theologians all caught him up in a crowd up there and said, "Say, we know that you were born blind." Said, "We know that--that--that you had no eyeballs, even in the sockets." Said, "We know you were born blind." He said, "Who healed you?"
And he said, "The--the--the Man told me that I was healed." Said, "I know He healed me." Said, "I--I--I know it."
Said, "Well, now, that man's a sinner. We know he's a sinner because he didn't join our organization. He didn't come our way. He doesn't teach our doctrine. He's against us." Said, "We--we know that he can't be of God. We know that there's something wrong with him, because he didn't agree with us." Said, "The man's a sinner."
Now, this poor blind man couldn't argue the point. He wasn't a theologian; he--he couldn't argue the point. He said, "Now..." But he had a very convincing argument too. He said, "Whether He's a sinner or not I don't know, but this is one thing I do know (Amen.): where I was once blind I now see."

L-77 I've heard people say this was a bunch of crazy people. I had people tell me when I received the Holy Ghost that I lost my mind. Well, whether that's right or not, I don't know. But there's one thing I do know: wherein I was once a sinner, I'm now saved. That's right. Wherein I was once lost, I'm now found. You can call it fanaticism, whatever you want to; but it's a confirmation to me that He's still Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. That's right.

L-78 Yes, he--he--he had the evidence. He had a very convincing speech that He was--He--He--that was the Son of God because He had made eyeballs in a man that had no eyeballs. Yes, sir. In other words the blind man could say, "I've been coming to your church all this time. I don't see nothing like that taking place around here. Then if He created eyeballs, there's no Creator but God. Where could it come from? Let's see you do it. Let's see the way you do it."
They had to shut up, them talking about a supernatural God, the great Creator of heavens and earth, and couldn't create a good life. (See?) There you are, couldn't create nothing. But here come Jesus and put eyeballs in a man that had no eyeballs, was born blind. I tell you; that's convincing. The proof of the pudding is the eating thereof. That's exactly right. So he had the evidence that He was. That's right.
