<TITLE>13. Par 46-47</TITLE>L-46 Matthew said, "Yes, I remember. (He's the one that wrote it, you know.) Oh, yes. I--I remember it. My heart failed. I thought, 'My, my. Uh-huh. There's our Master one time wrong,' (See?), because He told her she had a husband, go get her husband, and she said, 'I have no husband.' And then He turns around and said, 'You've told the truth.' Then we all were puzzled. Here He says, 'Go, get your husband,' she said, 'I have no husband,' He said, 'That's right.'"
Look. "Go get your husband."
"I have no husband."
"You're right."
Now. "Oh, we were all astonished, and our hearts beat, and we raised up over the bushes behind Him to see what He was going to say next. Oh, He was wrong. She said, 'I have no husband,' and yet we believed Him to be the Messiah. How could that great Messiahic sign be wrong? And we knowed He was Messiah, because He did the sign of Messiah. Therefore we... (Messiah is God, the anointed. And the anointed is the Word. And the Word was manifested. See?) We knowed that He was Messiah. And here He was. Every time it hit but this time. But now it had missed, for He said to the young woman, 'Go, get your husband,' she said, 'I have none.' He said, 'Thou hast said the truth. You said well, for you've had five, and the one you're now living with is not yours.' Oh."
"And we noticed what that woman said. She turned with startled eyes, and she said, 'Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.'" Now, that... Really, in the King James is mistranslated. It's all right. It's okay like that. But if you'll take your margin reading on that, and run it back in the original Greek (and many of the scholars here read it), it said, "Thou art That prophet." See? That's the margin reading. "Thou art That prophet. I perceive that Thou art That prophet." "Now, we know that when Messiah cometh, is called the Christ (That prophet, Messiah, Christ, all the same Person), when He comes He will tell us all these things."
"And Jesus said, 'I'm He that speaks with you.'"
"And that woman run into the city and begin to tell all the men, 'Come see a Man that told me the things that I've done (Now, watch.), told me the things that I have done. Isn't that the very Messiah?' And you know, we all went into the city to find out what happened. And all the men in that city believed the woman's testimony. Oh, it was a great time."

L-47 About that time Matthew said, "Wait..." or said, "Wait a minute. I want--I got something I want to say. Let me testify right quick. (It was kind of getting a little late, you know.) Let me testify." Said, "You remember that time that our sister, Rebekah... She lived in Jericho. And our Lord went down to--to have dinner down in Jericho, and we went into the city."
"And you remember Rebekah testifying? Oh, you remember she'd request in every meeting, 'Pray that my husband will get saved. Pray, my husband will get saved. His name was Zacchaeus, the little fellow.'" He was a businessman. Let's believe he run a restaurant, and he had a lot of stiff composition--competition, rather, and he was real upset because that Jesus was going to eat at another place, like his place wasn't well enough.
