Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. They did not understand him to preach Unitarianism; they understood him to proclaim his own true and proper Godhead, and he never contradicted them, for he was God.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. Christ’s work runs parallel with that of the Father. The Father and the Son ever work in perfect harmony with one another.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth; and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: The Son as well as the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. As the universal Judge, the Lord Jesus is to be honoured by all men, “even as they honour the Father.” Whatever others may do, or not do, we will honour the Father, we will honour the Son, and we will...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, — If we truly believe the word of Christ, and trust in him who sent his Son into the world, we have at this moment everlasting life. Joh_5:24. And shalt not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. What a grand...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; and hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Marvel not at this:...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. He did bear witness to himself by his miracles, but that was not the witness upon which he relied, nor was it the only witness to the truth of his mission.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth. But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved. He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light. But...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
I receive not honour from men. But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you. I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only? Some men find it difficult to believe...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased. And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. When Jesus then lifted up his eyes,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased. Many of them curiosity-mongers wanting to see more wonders wrought, others of them sick themselves, and anxious to be healed. Wherever Jesus went, a throng...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. That was his frequent posture when his disciples were gathered around him. He sat at his ease, and talked to his hearers. He was not very demonstrative in his oratory, but spoke calmly and quietly, and left the truth to find its own way into the minds and hearts of men.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? They were in a lonely place out in the wilderness, where the people had no means of obtaining food, and Jesus knew that they would soon be faint with...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. Men’s calculations concerning divine things generally terminate in a deficit. Two...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. Observe the complex character of Christ; as man, he consulted with Philip; as God, he knows beforehand what he will do.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. That is our way. When our faith is little, we begin calculating the pennyworths that are wanted, and we make them out to be so much more than we possess or can possibly scrape together. That is not faith, it is reason, — poor,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. Two hundred pennyworth must have seemed an enormous amount to poor Philip, for all Christ disciples had made themselves poor by following him. The bag that Judas carried probably scarcely ever had as much as that in it. If it...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him, There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. When Christ bids men sit down, he has a...

One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him, There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? These small fishes were commonly cured and dried by that lake, little fish very much resembling sardines or anchovies, and they were eaten dry as a relish with bread. This...
