Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus’ feet, and besought him that he would come into his house: For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him. Notice the word “behold,” for this was a wonder that a man so...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any, Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched. This disease laughs at the physicians, and whenever a cure has been effected it has always been a slow one. Hence the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? What impudence on their part! Doubtless there are many things we say of our Lord, and even to him in prayer, that are very far from such words as he should have from his...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort:...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately. Here is a second confessor. First, there was a man healed; now, here is a woman healed. Both sexes may now hear from them what Christ can...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. While he yet spoke, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. As if such a suppliant really did trouble him! Still, if you have been praying long, and your case appears to be...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruder of the synagogues, house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master. Be resigned, and say, “The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away,” and expect not the blessing back again. Do as David did, who, while the child was yet alive, fasted and played, saying, “Peradventure, God...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. “If she is actually dead, she shall be raised to life again.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole. “Believe only.” What a depth lies in those two words! Believe only! Ah! Lord, it ought to be the easiest thing in the world to believe thee, for thou art so truthful; thou keepest every promise to us, and yet sometimes when we are in the dark,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. For Christ does not make a parade of his miracles. He loves to do his work quietly; and they that make a great noise must mind that they do not get put out when Christ is about to work a cure.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden. And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. They were so sure she was dead that they had actually hired the minstrels for her funeral — so Mark tells us — and the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not, she is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. Young saints want feeding as...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead. And he put them out, and took her by the hand, and called saying, Maid, arise. But Christ put them all out. They laughed him to scorn, and, therefore, he would not work the miracle in their presence. It is not meet to cast pearls before swine.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. Do note here the word “straightway.” Just now we had the word immediately, and now we have straightway. It is one of the distinguishing features of the gospel, both of Mark and of Luke, that both evangelists use the word “eutheos,” “straightway.” Christ’s...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And her parents were astonished.’ but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done. For Jesus did not wish, at least at that time, to have the story of his miracles blazed abroad. Of him the prophet had long before written: “He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. A bruised reed shall he not...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done. But we know from another evangelist that the fame thereof went abroad everywhere, and, indeed, the healing of a soul is not a thing to be kept secret, but when any are raised from the dead the world must know it.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And it came to pass, that on the next day, when they were come down from the hill, much people met him. And, behold, a man of the company cried out saying, Master, I beseech thee, look upon my son: for he is mine only child. And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he suddenly crieth out; and it teareth him that he foameth again, and bruising him hardly...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Jesus answering said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you, and suffer you. Bring thy son hither. If you have been praying for some dear one, and the devil is not cast out, but the one for whom you have pleaded seems to be worse rather than better, notwithstanding all your prayers and all your efforts, hear the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tare him. This is Satan’s usual way. Whenever he is about to be cast out of anyone, he grows angry; and if he cannot destroy, he will worry, just as a bad tenant will do injury to the house if he cannot any longer keep possession of it. “As he was yet a-coming, the devil threw him down, and...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they were amazed, many of them did not believe. It is one thing to be astonished, it is another thing to be humbled, and to be led to simple faith in Christ. Never be content with any emotion but that which leads you to believe in Jesus for yourself.
