<TITLE>21. Par 71-73</TITLE>L-71 Now, He wasn't but about thirty-three years old, but He looked over fifty. Do you know the Bible said that? In Saint John 6 when He said, "I am the Bread of Life that come from God out of heaven. Your fathers eat manna in the wilderness and are dead." He said, "But I'm the Bread of Life that come from God out of heaven. If a man eat this Bread he will never die." Oh, they went ahead discussing it a little while.
And so, then they--He said... He told them said that, "You say you're--seen Abraham, when you're not over fifty years old?" He was only thirty, but His work must have made Him look fifty. "You're not a man over fifty years old, and say that you saw Abraham?" Said, "Now, we know you got a devil, and you're mad." Crazy. See?
He said, "Before Abraham was, I am." That settled it.

L-72 And here He was now, about... a young Jew setting over there just watching. And so, He said, "Bring Me a drink."
And she said, "It's not customary." They had segregation then like we used to have in the south, you know, between the colored and white. Said, "It's not customary for you, being a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan woman to--for anything." Said, "We have no dealings with one another."
He said, "Woman, if you knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink, and I'd give you water you don't come here to draw."
She said, "The well's deep." See, still the carnal thinking. "The well's deep." And said, "You have nothing to draw with."
He said, "The water that I give is Everlasting Life, springing up."
They've got the...?... What was He doing? He was contacting her spirit (See?), contacting. When He caught what her trouble was... How many knows what her trouble was? She had five husbands. She was living with her sixth. He said, "Woman, go, get your husband, and come here."
She said, "I don't have any husband."
Said, "You told the truth." Said, "You've got five--had five, and the one you're living with now is not yours. In that you said the truth."

L-73 Now, look. When He did that before them Jews, them Jews said--them big high priests, and educators of them days, said, "Humph." They had to answer their church. It was being done, so they had to tell their congregation something. They couldn't bypass it, 'cause they had to meet the issue.
So he said, "Humph." Said, "This man is Beelzebub, the prince of the devils, a fortuneteller," in other words. Said, "He's a fortuneteller." And anybody knows a fortuneteller is of the devil. So said--said, "He's Beelzebub, the fortuneteller." All right.
And when he did that, He turned around and looked at them Jews. He said, "I'll forgive you. I, the Son of man, will forgive you for saying this, blaspheming the Word of God." But said, "Someday (in other words) the Holy Ghost is coming to do the same works. And one word against It will never be forgiven a man in this world, neither in the world that is to come."
So you see, where it puts us. One word against It will never be forgiven. That's blaspheming the Holy Spirit. When they saw Him standing there with the... He was the Word, and the Word was expressing Itself just like the Bible said. And they said, "He's a fortuneteller." And you know what happened to them. Every one of them was lost. Exactly.
