<TITLE>13. Par 50-53</TITLE>L-50 I wonder tonight if we really know what this is that comes down. If we could open our eyes, and see Angels in their positions, see the Holy Spirit (Glory to God.) ready to do something...
"If you only knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink, and I'd give you waters that you don't come here to draw." And she went ahead and told Him about the well. And you remember the conversation about the worship in Jerusalem? And He told her that God was a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth."
So we find out that the conversation went on. He said to her, "Go, get your husband and come here."
"Why," she said, "I don't have any husband."
"And oh, Mark, did I see the look on your face. You said, 'Here's one time there's a slip-up. Something wrong here, because that she's admitting to Him, or saying to Him, that she doesn't have a husband; and He said she did have a husband. Now, what's going to happen?'"

L-51 He said, "Go, get your husband and come here," singular (See?), husband. She didn't have one like that; that's true. That's right.
Said, "Go, get your husband and come here."
And she said--and she said, "I have no husband."
He said, "Thou hast said the truth. You... Well have you said it, because you've had five, and the one you're now living with is not yours. In that thou saidst the truth."
"And do you remember," said Andrew, "the expression on her face? She said, 'Sir,' not like those priests was down there when they saw it done. They said He's Beelzebub. She said, 'Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.' (Amen.) 'We know (we Samaritans), we know that when the Messiah cometh He will tell us these things. But Who are You?'"
She had--she had introduced Him as her--her--or, was known to her as a prophet. It had to be a prophet. He'd never seen her before. "How did You know this? Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet."

L-52 Now, watch what she, she was a Scripture reader. She was in the Word. She probably knowed more about it than a lot of other people does even now. She said, "I perceive that You are a prophet. And we know (Amen.) that when the Messiah cometh--when Messiah cometh He will tell us this kind of stuff. This will be what He will tell us."
He said, "I'm He that speaks to you."
How those big brown eyes changed, them pretty curls fell down across her shoulder. She left that old water pot, and took to the city as hard as she could go, saying, "Come, see a Man that's told me the things I've done. Isn't this the very Scriptural sign of the Messiah? If it is He, isn't that what we've been waiting for? Isn't that the very thing that we know will come?"
And you remember when we went down into the city when she... Now, absolutely she was... being... If you know the eastern customs, she--the men wouldn't listen to her, no sir, because she was a woman of ill fame. The men won't listen to her.

L-53 But you try, somebody that's really found out about Jesus, I don't care what they was, you try to keep them away from it then. Somebody's going to listen somewhere. If you're ever convinced that it's the Son of God, that something--somebody's going to listen. She was shaking the town with her testimony. "Come, see a Man..." She didn't care whether she was supposed to say it or not. It was burning in her soul.
She was convinced; said, "He's setting out there at the gate. I went out there, and He told me my life. This is the very Messiah." (Excuse me. I oughtn't to be yelling in that like that. You can turn it down. See?) "Oh," said, "He told me my life. Isn't that the very Messiah?" And the men, on the testimony of that ill-famed woman, without Him doing it one more time, was thoroughly convinced by the woman's testimony that that was the Son of God, that He was Jesus of Nazareth.
