An old sea captain up on the sea, and he’d pretty near lived his life out in sin. But once he had heard of the Bible and God. And he lay dying, and he said, “Is there one person that could talk to me about the Bible, or is there one Bible on my ship?” See, he’d waited a long time to think about that, but God’s full of mercy, grace.And they found a boy, that they’d picked up on the ship, and he had a Bible. And he told him, he said, “Come in, son, and set down by my bed, and read me that Bible.”And the young lad turned to Isaiah 53:5, and it reads Like this: “He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquity; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we were healed.”The little boy turned, and he said, “Captain, sir?”He said, “Yes, lad?”He said, “Let me read it the way my mama used to read it to me.” Said, “I read to you the way it’s wrote in the Bible. But here’s the way that mama used to read it to me.”Said, “Go ahead, son. Read it the way your mother read it.”Said, “Mama used to set me up on her knee and read, ‘He was wounded for Willie Pruitt’s… He was bruised for Willie Pruitt’s iniquity; the chastisement of Willie Pruitt’s peace was upon him; and with His stripes Willie Pruitt was healed.”Old captain said, “I wished I’d have had a mama like that.” Said, “Maybe my name could be read into it.”The little boy said, “Just a minute, captain.” He said, “Let me read your name in it.” Said, “He was wounded for John Quartz’ salvation (Amen.); He was bruised for John Quartz’ iniquity; the chastisement of John Quartz’ peace was upon Him; and with His stripes John Quartz was healed.”Light flashed over the old captain’s face. He said, “Close the Book, son. I see it.”When you can read your name in there, “He was wounded for William Branham’s transgressions; He was bruised for William Branham’s iniquity,” that’s when peace comes. Not just that it was just a wholesale affair; it was for me. It’s an individual. I was included in that. “With His stripes William Branham was healed.” Then it’s different.
