Juan 10:39 Meaning and Commentary

John 10:39

Therefore they sought again to take him
Not to take away his life by stoning him, as before, in the manner the furious zealots did, and was the part they were about to act just now; but to lay hold upon him and bring him before the sanhedrim, as they had done in ( John 5:18 ) : he being so far from clearing himself from the charge of blasphemy, they had brought against him, that in their opinion he had greatly strengthened it; and they thought they had now sufficient proof and evidence to convict him as a blasphemer, in their high court of judicature; and therefore attempted to lay hands on him, and bring him thither:

but he escaped out of their hands;
either by withdrawing from them in some private way; or by open force, exerting his power, and obliging them on every side to fall back, and give way to him; or by rendering himself invisible to them; and this he did, not through fear of death, but because his time was not yet come, and he had other work to do, before he suffered and died.

Juan 10:39 In-Context

37 Si no hago las obras de mi Padre, no me crean.

38 Pero si las hago, aunque no me crean a mí, crean a mis obras, para que sepan y entiendan que el Padre está en mí, y que yo estoy en el Padre.

39 Nuevamente intentaron arrestarlo, pero él se les escapó de las manos.

40 Volvió Jesús al otro lado del Jordán, al lugar donde Juan había estado bautizando antes; y allí se quedó.

41 Mucha gente acudía a él, y decía: «Aunque Juan nunca hizo ninguna señal milagrosa, todo lo que dijo acerca de este hombre era verdad».
