SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:39
¶ Por eso procuraban otra vez prenderle; mas l se sali de sus manos;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 10:39
Verse 39. They sought again to take him] They could not reply to his arguments but by stones. The evidence of the truth could not be resisted; and they endeavoured to destroy the person who spoke it. Truth may confound the obstinately wicked, but it does not convert them; and it is a just judgment of God, to leave those to perish in their gainsayings who obstinately continue to gainsay and disbelieve. But he escaped] In such a way as we know not, for the evangelist has not specified the manner of it.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 39. Therefore they sought again to take him , etc.] 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 39-42 - No weapon formed against our Lord Jesus shall prosper. He escaped, no because he was afraid to suffer, but because his hour was not come. An He who knew how to deliver himself, knows how to deliver the godly ou of their temptations, and to make a way for them to escape. Persecutor may drive Christ and his gospel our of their own city or country, but they cannot drive him or it out of the world. When we know Christ by faith in our hearts, we find all that the Scripture saith of him is true __________________________________________________________________
