<TITLE>11. Par 42-45</TITLE>L-42 I can hear John say, "I stood and looked at Him. Did you notice Him, how calmly and quiet. He wasn't scared. He said, 'How many of the... How much bread have you got?'"
"Said, 'We got five loaves and two fishes.'"
"He said, 'Bring them to Me, and cause the companies to set down by fifties.'" Oh, my. Not excited. He knowed exactly what He was going to do.
And he said, "Brethren, didn't He look like Jehovah? Did you notice His eyes, how strong, how they looked? He looked just like Jehovah." And He was Jehovah, standing there breaking this bread, multiplying these fishes and things, and feeding five thousand people."
"Therefore, brethren, we are not following a false prophet, because if Jehovah ever was Jehovah, He has to still be Jehovah. And if this Man is what He claims to be, the Son of Jehovah, He will do the works of Jehovah." Amen. How sensible that testimony was. Must have really thrilled them.

L-43 And it must've been Simon (You know, he always had to put in his part anyhow.), he said, "Wonderful, John. I appreciate that testimony. Let me put mine in right now. Andrew, now you just keep still a minute (his brother setting next to him). Andrew went to stay all night with Him. The next morning, here he come back telling me, 'We found the Messiah.'"
"Now, I'm a Bible reader. I know what Messiah's supposed to be, and I know there's been lots of them coming around saying, 'Messiah,' but, and this was the Christ, and the time was at hand, and so forth."
As it predicted to be in the last days again... "Many will come, false prophets, saying the time's at hand, and I... The Messiah's out in the wilderness; the Messiah's here." Said, "Don't you believe it. See? Don't you listen to that."

L-44 Now, notice. But he said, "My father told Andrew and I one time, that when the Messiah cometh, He'd have to come according to the Scripture: the Scriptural Messiah. And when I walked up into His Presence that day with my brother Andrew (setting here), and He looked at me in the face and said, 'Your name is Simon. You are the son of Jonas,' I knowed that that was Messiah."
"I knowed that we hadn't had a prophet for four hundred years. And my father showed me in the Scripture, according to the Scroll of Deuteronomy that Moses wrote, that Moses, our prophet, that we've lived all these hundreds of years faithful to his teaching, that he said, 'The Lord your God shall raise up among you a prophet liken unto me. And it'll come to pass that whosoever shall not hear this prophet will be cut off from the people.'"
"Now, I knowed, and my father taught me by the Scriptures, that that Messiah would be a prophet. And when I saw Him do the sign of the prophet, I knowed that was the Messiah." Oh, how that must have done something to them. Yes.

L-45 And Philip said, "I'd like to testify. Is it all right, Nathanael?"
He said, "Well, go ahead. Give your testimony." And Nathanael said, "May I say a word first?"
And everybody, you know, and--and Nathanael jumped up. And--and he said, "Set down. You're rocking the boat." You know how it'd get in a testimony meeting. Everybody's just got to say something, you know, right quick. And said, "You--you can get your turn. But set down; wait a minute. Stand still. You're rocking the boat." And said, "Now, set down and tell us your testimony."
