Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me: And I knew him not: but that he should manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. And I knew him not: At first.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water. It was by baptism that the Christ was to be known. John knew more of Jesus Christ than anybody else, yet he did not know him to be the Lamb of God until he had baptized him.

But he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. And I saw and bare record, that this is the Son of God. Notice how very clear John is. There is no mistaking him. He repeated himself lest there should be any...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. Hear ye, then, the witness of John. The Christ, who came from Nazareth to be baptized of him in Jordan, he on whom the Holy Ghost descended like a dove, “this is the Son of God.” This is the sin-bearing Lamb. Oh, that you and I might fulfill John’s expectation, for he spoke that we might...

Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; and looking upon Jesus as he walked, With holy reverence, with loving awe, gazing upon this extraordinary Person “as he walked”, —
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; and looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! This was the same text from which he had preached the day before, and it was the same sermon, somewhat shortened. So should it be with us. His only righteousness I show, His saving truth proclaim; ‘Tis all my...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples: And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God? There is no objection to preaching the same sermon twice if it be on such a matter as this. “Behold the Lamb of God,” he said one day, and the next day he did not vary the phraseology. He had no new metaphor — no...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; and looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! “Again the next day.” See how the Evangelist goes by days in his record. John preached the same sermon two days running, and if you proclaim Christ and him crucified, you may preach him two hundred days running, but...

He saith, Behold the Lamb of God! And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. This is our one business tonight, to cry, “Behold the Lamb of God!
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. Thus John was losing his own disciples. By his testimony to the truth, he was sending them to follow the Lord Jesus Christ, and he did it well and gracefully. There are many who would find it a hard task to reduce the number of their disciples; but it was not so with John.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. They went beyond their teacher. And oh! what a mercy it is if our hearers can go Christward far beyond us. John was well content to be left behind if they followed Jesus; and so may any minister of Christ rejoice if his people will follow Jesus, even if they go far beyond his...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. It is hard preaching when you preach away your congregation, but John did this deliberately, He wished these two no longer to be his disciples, but to become the disciples of Jesus. He had mastered the meaning of his own words, “He must increase, but I must decrease,” and he was quite...

Then Jesus turned, and saw them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye ? They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master,) where dwellest thou ? He saith unto them, Come and see. They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. One of the two which heard John speak, and...
