Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. What expressions of fervent gratitude, what notes of glad exultation came from that woman’s joyful lips! Surely, even cherubim and seraphim could not more heartily and earnestly praise God than she did when “she was made straight and glorified God.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he laid his hands on her: and immediately he was made straight, and glorified God. I should think she did. We have no record of what she said; she may have merely cried out, “Hallelujah”; but the very look of her, her streaming eyes filled with gratitude, her face beaming with delight, all tended to glorify God. Even if she had said nothing,...

Because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men, ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, — It served him right. This is just the word that would naturally come to the lips of the Saviour....
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. He did not dare to speak to Christ. I suppose the majesty of Christ’s manner overawed him, so he struck at the people directly, and at Christ through them. Now our Lord did not go sideways to work when he replied to him.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed front this bond on the sabbath day? A very conclusive argument. You may do deeds like this on the Sabbath; and you may come...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him. Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it.? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great...

Then said he Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree: and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it. A little grace grows and becomes great grace. If thou hast at present but little faith, be...

Unto what is the kingdom of God like, and whereunto shall I resemble it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it, and again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman took and...

Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it? For men learn much by resemblances, and the things which are seen are frequently helpful to us in seeking to set forth the things which are not seen. Knowing that God is one in all that he has done, we are often able to learn from one part of his works to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
It is like a grain of mustard seed,— You can hardly see it; you can, however, taste it. Try it, and you shall find it pungent enough; but it is so small that you may easily pass it by: “It is like a grain of mustard seed,” Luk_13:19. Which a man took, and cast into his garden; It must be sown in prepared soil; and there is “a man” who knows how to...

And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God? It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. Some read this as a parable to set forth the power of evil, and I do not doubt that it does set it forth. At the same time it sets forth the power of good, too, for it is put side by...

And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God ? It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. Some expositors think that this is a picture of the kingdom of the devil, but it does not say so. If our Lord had meant to represent the power of evil, he would have given us some...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. That woman of Rome has hidden her leaven in the church, and it has leavened the whole; and now the woman of intellect has put her leaven into the church. Conceited self-invention of new doctrines, perversion of the simplicity of the gospel, that...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. His face was toward the cross, he was working his passage to his sacrifice, and preaching his way to that place where he should complete our redemption.
