<TITLE>20. Par 67-70</TITLE>L-67 Now, now, we find out... We take them two. We're just going to take... Now, we're going to leave... We'll come back tomorrow, and pick up some more Jews. But now tonight, we're going on to a Gentile, or to a Samaritan. There's another race looking for a Messiah. Now, when He's on earth, He's got to manifest Himself to who's looking for Him: got to.
Notice. Now, here He made Himself known to the Jews by what? Speaking the secrets of their hearts, telling them what they'd done, and so forth. We know that. Now, did that prove He was the Word? How many believes that?
Now, you're putting down Scriptures, put this down. Hebrews, the 4th chapter and about the 12th verse, it said, "The Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing even to the sunder of the bone and the marrow, and is a Discerner of the thoughts in the heart." Is that right, brethren? The Word of God discerns the thought that's in their heart. He looked upon them and perceived their thoughts. Is that right? What was it? It was the Word. The Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword, and a Discerner of the thoughts of the heart. That's the reason they knowed that He was the manifestation of God's Word. That was Jesus yesterday.

L-68 Now, He was on His road down to Jericho. Jerusalem sets on the hill; Jericho sits in a valley. He was going to Jericho, but He had need to go by Samaria. Now, that's a city of Sychar. He stopped. He sent His disciples in to get something to eat, must've been about noontime.
While they were gone, there was a pretty woman come out there. She was of a ill-fame. We know what you mean there, the red-light type. But she might've been a lovely girl. No doubt but what she was a lovely girl, but maybe she had something to cause that. Maybe her mother turned her on the street when she was a kid.
You know, we talk so much in America about juvenile delinquency. It ain't juvenile delinquent; it's parent delinquency. Sometimes a girl goes wrong because her mother don't make her do right. That's exactly right, so... Lot of times it's parents' fault, not children, a juvenile delinquency.

L-69 So here we find this young girl. She come out. She's a young woman, probably in her early twenties. She came out... Now, I've been in the orients. I know the customs. It never changes. Now, the reason she didn't go early with the virgins to the well to get water, she wasn't permitted to. They don't associate together. And so, she had to go out later. So here she come out along about noon.
And you ought to see the way they pack water. They got a great big... It isn't a bucket; it's a--it's a clay pot. It's a--holds about three gallons, I guess, and it's got handles on it. And then, they got a well with a windle. And they take these hooks and dip in these big jars, and let it down, and get it full of water, and windle it up.
And I've seen young girls... No, well, just young girls set and put one of those big pots of water on top of her head, one on each shoulder; and a whole bunch of them going along talking, shaking their heads, talking to one another, never spill a drop. How they do it, I don't know. They still do it: talk, just as ladies can, you know. So they go along there just really carrying a conversation and never spill a bit of water. And they still do it.

L-70 Now, she come out to get her pot of water, and she started to let it down. Now, that well (It still stands there.) it's just... It's the one that Jacob give Joseph his son. And so, it was a little panoramic about like this platform up here. And this... And there's a wall around, and then the public well there where the people drink. So she started to let down the bucket in, or the pot, and she heard Somebody say, "Woman, bring Me a drink." And she turned and looked.
