Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 26:19

"And the disciples did as Jesus appointed them; and they made ready the passover." — Matthew 26:19 (ASV)

And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the Passover.

If Christ's disciples always loyally did as Jesus appointed them, they would always fare well on his errands. There are many more people in the world ready to yield to Christ than some of us think. If we would only go to them as Peter and John went to this man in Jerusalem, and say to them what the Master saith, we should find that their hearts would be opened to receive Christ even as this man's house was willingly yielded up at our Lord's request.

If Christ’s disciples always loyally did as Jesus appointed them, they would always prosper in His service. There are many more people in the world ready to yield to Christ than some of us think.

If we would only go to them as Peter and John went to this man in Jerusalem and say to them what the Master saith, we should find that their hearts would be opened to receive Christ, even as this man’s house was willingly yielded at our Lord’s request.

And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover.

They went to this man, delivered Christ's message, and he showed them a large upper room, furnished and prepared. If Christ's disciples always loyally did as Jesus appointed them, they would always succeed on his errands.

There are many more people in the world ready to yield to Christ than some of us think. The person sitting or standing by your side is quite unknown to you, but if you will speak to him about the Saviour, he will probably respond to your word. At any rate, try him, and see if it is not so. Whether standing or sitting, there must be someone here not yet a disciple, who only needs you to speak a kind word, and the deciding work will be done.
