Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: — “I have made thee, Simon, a special object of thy prayer. All the brotherhood will be tried, but for thee I have especially prayed, for thou, who seemest to be the strongest, art the weakest of them all, so I have prayed specially for thee, that thy faith fail not.” Luk_22:32. And when thou...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Strengthen thy brethren. And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye anything? And they said,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren; And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. Though Peter did not really...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. That is bravely spoken, Peter; and yet it is very foolishly said, too. He spoke out of his very heart, and he meant what he said; but Peter did not know what a poor weak body Peter really was. His Master understood him far better.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. And I have no doubt that he thought he was ready to do all this; he spoke out of the fullness of his heart, but he did not know the weakness of his flesh. We are all too apt to promise great things, and to fail in the fulfillment of them.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. And so it came to pass. Let us read a part of the sad story, beginning at the fifty-fourth verse.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said Nothing. Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. “They are drawing to their close. I am about to be put to death as a transgressor, and you will be treated as though you were the off-scouring of all things, and were not fit to live,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. A smile must have passed over the Saviour’s face as he saw how egregiously they had misunderstood him. He did not mean that they should literally carry swords, but that they should now have to go through an alien world, and to meet with no friends or helpers. He...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. “There is a peculiar temptation coming upon you. I have taught you to pray every day, ‘Lead us not into temptation;’ but, tonight, make very special use of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Jesus came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. The garden of Gethsemane had often been the place of our Lord’s private prayer, and it was therefore well selected as the scene of his fierce struggle with the foe. Where we get strength from God in private, it may often happen that we shall...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. He knew what sore temptation meant, and he was about to feel it at its utmost, and he therefore exhorted his disciples to pray even as he had formerly taught them in the model prayer, “Lead us not into temptation.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. We can read these words in a calm, quiet tone; but they were uttered by our Lord with an intensity of agony which we can scarcely call up before our mind’s...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. This is so plain a proof of Christ’s condescension as a man that it has overwhelmed some...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: More and more intense was that brief prayer as his supplication was continued.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. Luke was a physician, you know, so he was the most likely one to record this phenomenon. It has happened-so we have been told,-to some other persons in intense fright or agony, that their sweat has been tinged with blood; but we never remember reading or hearing of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. The Greek has the idea of the stretching of the sinews; Christ prayed to the very stretching of his nerves and sinews. As when men wrestle for their lives, so did Christ in prayer strain every power of mind and body that he...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. There must have been some very peculiar temptation about that night, that Christ’s disciples should have needed to be again and again commanded to pray this prayer.
