John Gill - Exposition

John Gill

Let not your heart be troubled,.... In some copies this verse begins thus, and he said to his disciples; and certain it is, that these words are addressed to them in general, Peter being only the person our Lord was discoursing with in the latter part of the preceding chapter; but turning, as it were, from him, he directs his speech to them all. There were many things which must needs lie heavy...

Matthew Henry - Complete Commentary

Matthew Henry

This chapter is a continuation of Christ's discourse with his disciples after supper. When he had convicted and discarded Judas, he set himself to comfort the rest, who were full of sorrow upon what he had said of leaving them, and a great many good words and comfortable words he here speaks to them. The discourse in interlocutory; as Peter in the foregoing chapter, so Thomas, and Philip, and...

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. Faith is the double cure of trouble, for it delivers us altogether from the trouble, and, at the same time, it helps us to find sweetness in it as long as we have to endure it. Notice that our Saviour...

Charles H. Spurgeon

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.

Charles H. Spurgeon

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. Here is a troubled company of disciples, very much cast down, so their Divine Master, full of infinite tenderness, talks to them in this gentle manner, “Let not your heart be troubled.” He does not like to see them troubled; and when they are, he is troubled also. Our Lord here prescribes faith as the only remedy for heart...

Charles H. Spurgeon

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. I think our Saviour meant to say, and really did say. “If ye believe in God, ye are believing in me; and if ye believe in me, ye are believing in God; for there is such a perfect unity between us that you need not, when I die make any distinction between me and God, but still believe in me as ye believe in the Father.”

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. You are like a ship, and all the water in the sea cannot hurt a ship, if it is kept outside of her. Let not your heart be troubled. How are you to prevent it? Faith is the remedy. Ye believe already; believe more. “Ye believe in God; believe also...
