(Editor’s note<\/strong>: The verses below appear in order of biblical reference, not as they appear in Jim Jones\u2019 address. For a complete scriptural index to the sermons of Jim Jones, click here<\/a>.)<\/i><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n
      \u201cI just put [my glasses] down so that I can let my eye be single and concentrate upon your need. Said if your eye be single, then it\u2019ll be filled with light..\u201d (Matthew 6:22, \u201cThe light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.\u201d See also Luke 11:34)<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u201cFaith does not come by reading, as much as we love the truths that are in the Bible. The truths must be brought out by a prophet. How can we hear without a preacher, how can he preach \u2018lest he be sent? Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God.\u201d (Romans 10:14-17, \u201cHow then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.\u201d)<\/p>\n

      \u201cSpirit! Who, he said, the word would discern the thoughts. God would discern the thoughts of the mind and know the intents of the heart\u2026 Hebrews 4:12 tells us what the word is. Says it will discern the thoughts, and it will know the intents of the heart. It\u2019s sharper than a two-edged sword.\u201d (Hebrews 4:12, \u201cFor the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.\u201d)<\/p>\n

      Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      (Note:<\/strong> This tape was transcribed by Vicki Perry. The editors gratefully acknowledge her invaluable assistance.)<\/em><\/p>\n

      This tape consists of ten faith-healings performed by Jim Jones during a Peoples Temple service in Los Angeles. As with the healings on other tapes, there is a general pattern to each one: Jones speaks to the person who has come forward for his touch, he reveals to them things about their lives that only they would know (or at least, that he himself would have no way of knowing except through revelation), he describes their conditions or illness (whether or not they know they have the condition or illness), and then he cures the malady. The congregation usually responds with cheers and applause, especially if the person being healed has been crippled or incapacitated.<\/p>\n

      While Jones is the faith-healer in this service, his invocations of God are ambiguous \u2013 \u201cGood<\/em> you came to the house of God today,\u201d he says at one point \u2013 and could refer either to himself or the biblical God. This is likely due to the presence of first-timers in the service.<\/p>\n

      The last two healings include commentary by an unknown announcer, who describes what he sees as the healing takes place. He joins with Jones and the congregation in celebrating each successful healing. It is unknown whether these healings were recorded for radio broadcast, but the fact that the announcer has a well-trained voice suggests that the tape would be used elsewhere beyond the immediate Temple service.<\/p>\n

      FBI Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Date of transcription: 6\/27\/79<\/p>\n

      In connection with the Federal Bureau of Investigation\u2019s investigation into the assassination of U.S. Congressman LEO J. RYAN at Port Kaituma, Guyana, South America, on November 18, 1978, a tape recording was obtained. This tape recording was located in Jonestown, Guyana, South America, and was turned over to U.S. Officials in Guyana and subsequently transported to the United States.<\/p>\n

      On June 14, 1979, Special Agent (name deleted) reviewed the tape numbered 1B107-12. This tape was found to contain the following:<\/p>\n
