Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 23:49

"And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed with him from Galilee, stood afar off, seeing these things." — Luke 23:49 (ASV)

And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

Let these things be before your mind's eye this evening, and think much of your crucified Lord, all you who are of his acquaintance, and who are numbered amongst his followers.

And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

In these events on Calvary, you and I have a share—in their guilt or in their merit. Oh, that we may not be condemned with those who were guilty of his death, but may we be cleansed by that precious blood which puts away the sin of all who believe on him!
