Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Matthew 14:31

Mr. Fearing Comforted April 3rd, 1859 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?" Matthew 14:31 .

Matthew 14:2 . This is John the baptist: he is risen from the dead. Mark indicates that Herod was a sadducee by those words of Christ, Beware of the leaven of the sadducees beware of the leaven of Herod. But how is this reconciled with Luke 9:9, where Herod desired to see Christ? Perhaps, like our Harry, he often changed his faith. Perhaps he doubted sometimes whether the Pythagorean doctrine of metempsychosis, or the transmigration of souls into new bodies, might not be true. The cabalists... read more

Matthew 14:24For the wind was contrary. The wind was contraryThe Sea of Galilee lies low, being, in fact, six hundred feet beneath the level of the Mediterranean, and the water-courses on its banks have cut out deep ravines which act like funnels to draw down the winds from the mountains, so that the storms are often both sudden and severe. On the present occasion the wind came down with such fury that even strong rowers like the fishermen apostles could make little way against it, and after... read more
