SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:41
Y muchos venían a l, y decían que Juan, a la verdad, ninguna seal hizo; mas todo lo que Juan dijo de ste, era verdad.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 41. And many resorted to him , etc.] From all the parts adjacent, having heard of his being there, and of the fame of him; and many of them doubtless personally knew him; these came to him, some very likely to be healed by him, others to see his person and miracles, and others to hear him preach: and said, John did no miracle ; though it was now three years ago, yet the name, ministry, and baptism of John, were fresh in the memory of men in those parts; and what they say one to another, was not to lessen the character of John, but to exalt Jesus Christ, and to give a reason why they should receive and embrace him; for if John, who did no miracle, who only taught and baptized, and directed men to the Messiah, was justly reckoned a very great person, and his doctrine was received, and his baptism was submitted to, then much more should this illustrious person be attended to; who, besides his divine doctrine, did such great and amazing miracles; to which they add, though John did no miracle to confirm his mission, ministry, and baptism, but all things that John spake of this man, were true ; as that he was greater than he, was the Lamb of God, yea, the Son of God, the Saviour of the world, and true Messiah, who should baptize men with the Holy Ghost and with fire.
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 __________________________________________________________________
