Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Peter saith unto him, Those shalt never wash my feet. That is just like Peter. If John had not told us who it was that said this, we should have known that it was Peter. He was always in such a hurry, and he spoke so quickly, that he made many mistakes, yet he was always so honest and so true that his Master forgave his faults, and helped him to...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head. How that pendulum swings to and fro! It went this way just now: “Thou shalt never wash my feet.” Now it goes right away to the other extreme: “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.” Go more gently, Peter, be more quiet. Why do you go so far in one...

Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. They were all washed so far as their feet were concerned, but not all of them had been cleansed in the saved bath which removes the stains of sin.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to...

So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know, ye what I have done to you? Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. Sometimes, we think that we are a deal too great to wash anybody’s feet; we should like to see a person propose it to us, such big people as we are! If we talk like that, there is great need that we should be taken down....

But that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me. Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he. “That I am.” So, you see, even the great trouble of the early Church the betrayal by Judas, was used by Christ for the strengthening of his disciples’...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. That is the cure for heart trouble, and all other trouble, too, — believing in God, and believing in his Son, Jesus Christ.

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. There is no cure for heart-trouble but heart-trust. “Ye believe in God,” —you do trust in Divine Providence, now trust in the Saviour’s great atonement.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

Our Lord here...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. You will be troubled; that cannot be helped. But let not your heart be troubled.

In my Father’s house are many mansions: So there is room for many, there are homes for many, there is wealth for many; “In my Father’s house are many mansions:” Joh_14:2.

In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
