:''And some of them said, "Well, didn't you say that you seen a vision of this?" You know how people get things mixed up.

:''I said, "I got the tapes on it. See? Come, listen. I never said it was Joseph." I said, "The Lord has put in my heart that I'm going to have a son by the name of Joseph." See? I said, "I don't know how, when, or what, but it's going to be." So I didn't know. "I may have--may have six girls before we have him, but he will be here." Well, that just never left my heart. And we went on.

:''You all know about little Joseph. Six years before he come I saw him in a vision. The doctor said my wife could never have another child. I said, "Oh, yes."

:''So when the next child was borned, it was a girl. They said, "Uh-huh. You meant, Josephine."

:''I said, "I meant Joseph. God never tells lies."

:''And so about four years later, she... We knowed she was going to be mother again. They said, "Is this Joseph?"

:''I said, "I don't know."

:''The doctor said, "She can't have it, Brother Branham."

:''I said, "She'll have that one."

:''So when the nurse came down, I was walking the carpet off on the floor, you know. And come down, and said, "Reverend Branham?"

:''I said, "Yes, ma'am?"

:''He said, "You have a fine boy, seven pounds and three ounces."

:''And I said, "Joseph, you've been a long time getting here. Daddy's glad to see you."

:''And so, she said, "You called him Joseph."

:''Wife was with me at this meeting and little Joseph. That's been about three years ago. And all of you know the story, or perhaps have read about Joseph. I was taking the life of Joseph... And the doctor had told us we could have no more children after Rebekah was born, because she was a caesarean, and the wife could not have another child.

:''And I went into a little closet at Minneapolis, and was weeping there before the Lord. And a vision come down and said, "You will have a son, and you shall call his name Joseph." And so, I begin to announce it to all the people. And so, then waited four years.

:''Everybody said, "What about that prophecy about Joseph?"

:''I said, "He will be along. Don't worry."

:''And then we knew wife was going to be mother again. And so when it was born, it was a girl, Sarah, and everybody got to laughing at me. Said, "I... You meant Josephine, didn't you?"

:''I said, "No, I meant Joseph."

:''The doctors said, "Mr. Branham," said, "we had better do a little operation here, because your wife cannot, no wise, stand another child."

:''I said, "Doctor, don't you dare to touch her. We're going to have a son, and his name's Joseph." :''He just scratched his head, and done like that, and walked away.

:''And four more years passed. And one day we found out that she was to be mother again. Some of them said, "Is this Joseph?"

:''I said, "I don't know." But I said, "I don't know. But Joseph's coming, 'cause God never told me nothing but what was true."

:''And so, I went out to the hospital and kissed her as she went up into the room, the delivery room.

:''A few minutes, the nurse came down. She said, "Who is Reverend Branham?"

:''And I said, "Me."

:''And she said, "You have a fine seven-pound boy."

:''I said, "Joseph, honey, you've been a long time getting here. Daddy's kind of glad to see you."

:''And she said, "You called him Joseph."

:''I said, "That's his name."
