And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, They were at first very pleased to have a promising young Preacher out of their own town, and they said one to another, “Did not he speak well?” Now they have changed their note; be has been too faithful for them. He has exalted God instead of man; and now they...

And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down, headlong.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. That is an old trick of the devil, to acknowledge the excellence of the Preacher that he may avoid the personal application of the sermon; and there are many people, who are quite satisfied when they have said concerning the Word which they have heard, “Yes, it was all...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Now when the sun was setting, Ah, it is setting with some of you! Those gray hairs are like the streaks of light upon the horizon as the sun goes down; but blessed be God, he who heals the spiritually sick in the early morning, by bringing children to himself, does not cease to work until the sun goes down. Luk_4:40. All they that had any sick...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And devils also came out of many, crying out, and, saying, Thou art Christ, the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ. Perhaps they thought that their testimony would tend to blacken his character. We are, in a sense, pleased when bad men find fault with us, for that is really the best...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, and saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets. Before folding them up, as if they intended to do no more with them just then, as they had been working all night in...

It is very difficult to speak effectively when the people come too close to the speaker; and, sometimes, a little inconvenience like that may interfere with the flow of the speaker’s thoughts and words. Even the Saviour seems to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. Whenever he borrows a pulpit, or anything else, he pays good interest for the loan. Christ will not be in even a boatman’s debt. For every cup of cold water given to his disciples in his name the Master will take care to pay.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net. Out of personal respect and obedience to Christ, having perhaps but a slender hope of any good coming of it, yet, nevertheless, he will let down the net.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake. And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. We can have too much of a good thing, aye, too much even of the best things, for our poor frail vessel cannot hold all that God would be willing to put into it.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. Not knowing what he said, though he knew what he meant; feeling as if he, so sinful, had come too close to the Lord who was so gracious, so he must not dare to keep near to him. Have you never felt the same as that? If not, methinks you...
