:''You know, we get up here as ministers, and we speak, and we're always giving out to the people everything that's in us. I preached a subject one time, where Jesus said, "Behold a lily, how they neither--neither toil nor spin, and yet I say unto you that Solomon in all of his glory was not arrayed like one." And I find out, the lily has to grow, day and night, spin, toil, and to make itself radiant.''<ref>65-0120 LEAN.NOT.UNTO.THY.OWN.UNDERSTANDING PHOENIX.AZ WEDNESDAY</ref>

William Branham completely contradicts what Jesus was saying.  Jesus said in both passages that the lilies '''do not work'''.  But William Branham turns right around and says that '''in order for a lily to grow, it has to toil both day and night... And I find out, the lily has to grow, day and night, spin, toil, and to make itself radiant.'''
