C

. But Jesus was filled with the Holy Ghost while he was still in

his mother’s womb.

M

. The same was true with John the Baptist (

Luke 1:13, 15

): “But

the angel said unto him, fear not Zacharias, for thy prayer is

heard; and thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou

shalt call his name John. For he shall be great in the sight of the

Lord, and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost even from his

mother’s womb.”

C.

But Jesus could do miracles. He fed five thousand people with

only five loaves and two fishes.

M.

Elisha and Elijah did the same miracle. Elisha fed hundreds

of people with twenty barley loaves and a few ears of corn (

II

Kings 4:44

): “So he set it before them and they did eat, and left

thereof, according to the word of the Lord.” Elisha secured the

increase of a widow’s oil and he said to her

(II Kings 4:7)

: “Go,

sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children on

the rest.” See also

I Kings 17:16

: “And the barrel of meal wasted

not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the

Lord, which He spake by Elijah.” Also

I Kings. 17:6

: “And the

ravens brought him (Elijah) bread and flesh in the morning,

bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.”

C.

But Jesus could heal leprosy.

M

. Elisha told Naaman who was a leper to wash in the Jordan

river

(II Kings 5:14):

“Then went he (Naaman) down, and dipped

himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man

of God (Elisha) and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a

little child, and he was clean.”

C

. But Jesus could cause a blind man to see again.
