Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come. Our Lord Jesus Christ did everything, as it were, by the clock. His...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee. But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people. Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews. There was a general fear of violence that would come upon any who professed themselves...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. “I am not the inventor of what I say; I am but a messenger, delivering the message of him that sent me.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. Any man, who is seeking after that which is right, and labouring to do that which is right, is a good judge of the truth. A practical life of godliness makes a man a far better critic as to what truth is than all the learning of the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. If you ever hear a man speaking about the priesthood, meaning himself and his brethren; and about the Church, again meaning himself and his brethren; and about the sacraments, meaning certain...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me? “Did not Moses say, ‘Thou shalt not kill’? Then, you do not keep his law, though you profess such reverence for him, for, if you did, you would not go about to kill me.”

Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? Surely, there was never a more...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? Perhaps some of the same people who had asked Christ, “Who goeth about to kill thee?” now enquired, “Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? Howbeit we know this man whence he is but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. They had a notion—perhaps derived from that passage in Isaiah, “who shall declare his generation? “—that the birth of Christ would be hidden...

And I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me. Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. Something seemed to hold them back. Enraged as they were against him, a mysterious and mighty awe was upon them, so that...

Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done? Well might they ask that question, for Jesus had wrought such marvellous miracles that they could not imagine anything...

Then said Jesus unto them, — As they came to take him;—perhaps to the very...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; — Whispered these things, afraid to speak out boldly because of the Pharisees, and therefore they quietly said it among themselves, and, after all, there is no fire more to be dreaded than a smouldering fire.

And the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
