John 10:39

37 ^aIf I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;

38 but if I do, though you do not believe Me, ^abelieve the works, that you may know and¹ believe ^bthat the Father is in Me, and I in Him.”

39 ^aTherefore they sought again to seize Him, but He escaped out of their hand.

The Believers Beyond Jordan

40 And He went away again beyond the Jordan to the place ^awhere John was baptizing at first, and there He stayed.

41 Then many came to Him and said, “John performed no sign, ^abut all the things that John spoke about this Man were true.”

42 And many believed in Him there.

Sought again to take him - They evidently understood him as still claiming equality with God, and under this impression Jesus left them. Nor can it be doubted that he intended to leave them with this impression; and if so, then he is divine.

He escaped - See John 8:59.
