Yochanan 10:40 Meaning and Commentary

John 10:40

And went away again beyond Jordan
Where he had been before; and whither he went; not merely for the security of his person, much less to indulge himself in ease, but to preach the Gospel, work miracles, and bring many souls to believe on him, as did: and he went

into the place where John at first baptized;
that is, Bethabara, where he baptized before he was at Aenon, near Salim, ( John 1:28 ) ( 3:23 ) , and was the place where Christ himself was baptized, and where John bore such a testimony of him:

and there he abode;
how long is not certain, perhaps till he went to Bethany, on account of raising Lazarus from the dead.

Yochanan 10:40 In-Context

38 But if I do, even if you do not have emunah in me, chotsh have emunah in the pe’ulot, so that you may continue to have da’as and binah that HaAv is in me and I am in HaAv.

39 They were seeking, therefore, again to seize him, and he eluded their hand.

40 And he went away again beyond the Yarden to the place where Yochanan was in the beginning giving the mikveh mayim’s tevilah of teshuvah, and he remained there.

41 And many came to him and were saying, Yochanan indeed did no ot (miraculous sign), but everything Yochanan said about this man was HaEmes.

42 And many put their emunah (faith) in him [as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach] there.
