Charles Spurgeon Commentary John 7:53

"And they went every man unto his own house:" — John 7:53 (ASV)

And every man went unto his own house.

It was like a bombshell exploding among them; and often, a few brave words dropped into the midst of an assembly of bad men will explode among them, and scatter them here and there. Nicodemus had accomplished what, perhaps, he thought he would never do. He was indeed like his name on that occasion—one of the conquering people—for every man went unto his own house. Nicodemus had scattered them all by his startling question.

May each of us as bravely witness for Christ as we have opportunity!
