Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But the people who knoweth not the law are cursed. Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of those,) Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? Nicodemus asked a simple question, but they could not answer it without convicting themselves of disobeying that very law of which they pretended...

Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) Being a member of the council,—
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? He only asked a question, that was all; and, timid Christian, if you are placed where you cannot say much for Christ, if you have too great a fear upon you to vindicate your Master at any considerable length, yet say what you can; and, perhaps, the simple asking of a question...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. Which was a lie, for prophets had come out of Galilee. Still, they denied it; and they were indignant at having such a question put to them by Nicodemus.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And every man went unto his own house. It was like a bombshell exploding in the midst of them; and often, a few brave words dropped into the midst of an assembly of bad men will explode among them, and scatter them hither and thither. Nicodemus had accomplished what, perhaps, he thought he should never do. He was indeed like his name on that...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. The Pharisees — These wasps were always stinging him; when he drove them away once, they quickly returned to attack him again: “The Pharisees” —
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. Jesus answered and said unto them; Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither go. Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. He did not come for that purpose the first...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. You see, brethren, how our Lord Jesus claimed to be God, for he put himself here in such a connection with God as would be quite inconsistent for any mere man. This is what Paul meant when he said that Christ “thought it not robbery to be equal with...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. He did that by the miracles which Christ wrought; and they proved that he was indeed sent of God.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. They thought they knew his reputed father Joseph; they thought they also knew all about Christ, the carpenter’s Son; but there is more in Christ, than carnal eyes can ever see. There is more in...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come. Like our Lord, every child of God is immortal till his work is done. This ought to divest us of every kind of fear. The enemy cannot lay hands upon a Christian until his Lord wills it: and when his hour has come, then...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come. Oh, what a terrible sentence is that! I pray that the Lord may never say that to any of us, “Whither I go, ye cannot come.” That would be the death —knell of all our hopes, and would make our life one long banishment....
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: You are of a groveling nature; your thoughts rise out of the abyss where every evil dwells.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Ye are of this world; I am not of this world. I said therefore, of you, that ye shall die in year sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. If ye have no faith in Christ as the Son of God, “ye shall die in your sins.” What an awful thing it will be to die in your sins! What cerements for your eternal burial! What a robe...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith, unto them, Even the same that I said unto, you from the beginning. I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. Then said Jesus unto them,...

Then said Jesus unto them; — That is, to the Jews who were questioning and opposing him,- Joh_8:28. When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. Blessed be God, there were many, after the crucifixion of Christ, who did. believe in...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he that sent me is with me: I commend that short sentence to all my Master’s servants, for there is great comfort in it, Your Lord could say this, and so can you if you are truly employed in his service: “He that sent me is with me? Joh_8:29. The Father hath not left me alone; There is another precious motto for you. Jesus could truly say,...
