And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.

People's New Testament

10:40 And went away again beyond Jordan. He had been nearly three months in Jerusalem, a very stormy ministry. Twice efforts were made to mob him (Joh 8:59 10:31); twice, to arrest him (Joh 7:32,45 10:39). His time would not come yet for three months, till the next passover, and he retired from the storm for a season. In the other gospels there are recorded a number of the incidents of his ministry beyond the Jordan.

Wesley's Notes

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

40-42. went away again beyond Jordan . the place where John at first baptized-(See on [1827]Joh 1:28).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

10:39-42 No weapon formed against our Lord Jesus shall prosper. He escaped, not because he was afraid to suffer, but because his hour was not come. And He who knew how to deliver himself, knows how to deliver the godly our of their temptations, and to make a way for them to escape. Persecutors 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.
