Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 6:64

"But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who it was that should betray him." — John 6:64 (ASV)

But there are some of you that believe not.

And if they do not believe, then they miss the whole soul of the thing.

But there are some of you that believe not.

Some of Christ's own disciples, some who had kept him company, did not believe. This was a very sad statement for Jesus to be obliged to make; but it must be made today about many professed Christians: There are some of you that believe not.

For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

He is not deceived by hypocrites; if we have crept into the church unworthily, he knows all about us, he knows us better than we know ourselves. Oh, that we might be very careful, watchful, jealous! May we abhor hypocrisy of every sort! It is impossible to continue in it without being detected; if it were possible we ought not to practice it; but with such an eye as that which is in the Head of the Church, even Christ, we cannot deceive; therefore, let us not attempt it.
