John 18:11-14

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

John 18:11-14. Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it? Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him, and led him away to Annas first; for he was father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high priest that same year. Now Caiaphas was he, which gave counsel to the Jews, that it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

Saying a great deal more than he thought he was saying, for he uttered a great Gospel truth when he said, "It was expedient that one man should die for the people."

This exposition consisted of readings from John 17:1-12; John 18:1-14.
