Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They said unto him, Rabbi, (which is to say, being interpreted, Master), where dwellest thou? He saith unto them, Come and see, Which is often his answer to enquirers — “Come and see.” “Oh! taste and see that the Lord is good.” Learn by experience. Do not merely hear what I say, but come and see.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
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. He gave them a full invitation to come to the place where he tarried, and see for themselves. That is what Jesus still says, “Come and see.” If...

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 followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. And he brought him to Jesus, This...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
They came and saw where he dwelt, and abode with him that day: for it was about the tenth hour. The best part of that day was the portion which they spent with Jesus it was the best day they had ever enjoyed, for they lived with Jesus. It was also the beginning of better days for these two disciples; for, having once lived with Jesus, they learnt...

One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. Where should missionary work begin? A brother should begin with his brother. It is all very well to have a desire to go to the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone, There was a meaning in the change of names, for there was about to be a change of character — the timid son of a dove soon to become a very rock for the Church. This exposition consisted of readings from...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: “Simon, son of a dove, thy name may point thee out as being timid; mind where thou dost wing thy flight.” Joh_1:42. Thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, a stone. Something more solid than the son of a pigeon; something more stable...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me. Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. “The day following.” See, friends, what a wonderful chapter this is. There is a book called, The Book of Days; I call this chapter the chapter of days. Every day seems memorable for some...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. True faith may make blunders. Jesus was not the son of Joseph, except by reputation, and he was Jesus of Bethlehem quite as much as he was Jesus of Nazareth; but true faith is accepted of God...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see. Christ had said, “Come and see.” Now Philip used the same words, “Come and see.” It is always right to follow the example that the Lord Jesus has set us.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! “There is no craft or deception in this man, as there was in Jacob; he is a true Israelite, like Israel at his best.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile! Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? You may remember that, a short time ago, I preached a sermon upon Nathanael. He was a kind of Jewish John Blunt, a man who always spoke his mind. He had a mind, and he had a mind to speak it, and...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me ? Jesus answered and said unto Him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. What Nathanael had been doing there, we do not know; probably he had been meditating, or he may have been engaged in prayer. But this announcement was a proof to Nathanael that Jesus...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee. What was he doing under the fig tree? Jesus knew, and Nathanael knew, but nobody else knew, and perhaps nobody else ever will know. That was a secret between Christ and Nathanael. He was doing something there that he regarded as quite...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. “Thou sawest what I was doing in secret; and by that token I perceive that thou art God’s own Son.”

Nathanael answered and saith unto him: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the king of Israel. Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou!’ thou shalt see greater things than these. Those who are ready to believe Christ, on what may be thought to be slender evidence, shall “see greater things than these.” “Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” They shall...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man. “Thou art a true Israelite, and thou shalt have Israel’s vision.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; “The third day.” John keeps a kind of diary for Christ. In those first days there was something for every day, and they were a specimen of the whole life of the Saviour. He could never say, like Titus, “I have lost a day.” Every day had its deed, glorifying to God, and blessed to men. Let...
