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 creáis

38 Mas si las hago, y aunque a mí no me creáis, creed a las obras; para que conozcáis y creáis que el Padre es en mí, y yo en él

39 Por eso procuraban otra vez prenderle; mas él se salió de sus manos

40 Y se volvió al otro lado del Jordán, a aquel lugar donde primero había estado bautizando Juan; y permaneció allí

41 Y muchos venían a él, y decían que Juan, a la verdad, ninguna señal hizo; mas todo lo que Juan dijo de éste, era verdad
