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. Our Lord was himself so smarting under the pain of fierce temptation that he would have his disciples pray even unto an agony, that they might not be led into it. And oh!...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And said unto them, Why sleep ye! rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The great trial for them, as well as for their Lord, was close at hand then. It was late at night, and they were drowsy and sleepy; yet no time is amiss for supplication. Prayer is never out of season, and never unnecessary. We never know when temptation is near, so...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? And one of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. It is a remarkable fact that we do not read in Scripture that any other of our Lord’s apostles — not even John, — ever kissed the Saviour. It seems as if the most impudent familiarity was very near...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him, lord, shall we smite with the sword? There is always that tendency, even among Christian people, to get their hands on the sword-hilt, and a good man’s hand is never more out of place than there.

And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut of his right ear. And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear and healed him. There was no lasting mischief done; but, on the contrary, another instance given of the divine power of Christ.

Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves? When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness. Then took they him, and led him, and brought him...

Then took they him, and led him, and brought him into the high priests house. And Peter followed afar off.

That sword-cut of his upon the ear of Malchus had made him specially prominent amongst the...

And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. I do think that he was to be blamed for that action, for it brought him into dangerous company. Better be cold, than go and warm your hands in ungodly society.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the hall, and were set down together, Peter sat down among them. “Evil communications corrupt good manners.” Get up, Peter and run away; what business have you sitting there? Better be in the cold, far off from in company, than in the warm in the midst of sinners.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
