Gill adds on cannot be broken “This is a Jewish way of speaking, much used in the Talmud. When one doctor has produced an argument, another says, ‘It may be broken,’ or objected to, or refuted. But the Scripture cannot be broken.” (Quoted by J C Ryle) John
João 10
Gill concluded that Jesus could not have tricked people into believing they had witnessed a miracle. But many who actually saw Jesus’ miracles refused to believe that He was the Messiah. They were ready to execute Him for claiming to be God (John 10:30-31). Jesus told them, “If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the [miracles], that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him” (vv.37-38). The miracles of Jesus identified Him as the Son of God, the Savior who had come to give His life for the sins of the world. His works and resurrection were not magic tricks, but miracles of love and grace. By: David C. McCasland John 10:39 Therefore they were seeking again to seize Him, and He eluded their grasp. BGT John 10:39 Ἐζήτουν [οὖν] αὐτὸν πάλιν πιάσαι, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῶν. KJV John 10:39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, NET John 10:39 Then they attempted again to seize him, but he escaped their clutches. CSB John 10:39 Then they were trying again to seize Him, yet He eluded their grasp. ESV John 10:39 Again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands. NIV John 10:39 Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp. NLT John 10:39 Once again they tried to arrest him, but he got away and left them. NRS John 10:39 Then they tried to arrest him again, but he escaped from their hands. NJB John 10:39 They again wanted to arrest him then, but he eluded their clutches. NAB John 10:39 (Then) they tried again to arrest him; but he escaped from their power. YLT John 10:39 Therefore were they seeking again to seize him, and he went forth out of their hand, MIT John 10:39 Again they sought to arrest him, but he slipped out of their control. John 10:31 7:30,44 8:59 Lu 4:29,30 John 10 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries THE JEWS MAKE ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO SEIZE JESUS Therefore - Term of conclusion. This is quite amazing! Recall that this hostile group had encircled Him making escape virtually impossible! And then ponder the truth that Jesus has just offered them the way they could receive eternal life, and what is their conclusion? They realize that instead of denying His claim to the the Son of God, He in effect only strengthened that claim. They were seeking (zeteo, imperfect tense) again to seize (piazo) Him - Since they failed to grasp His message, they sought to grasp the Messenger! Note the "again" which recalls their seeking to stone Him in Jn 10:31! Their hearts were recalcitrant and hard and their necks were stiff and they were continuing to resist the work of the Holy Spirit just like their ancestors (read Acts 7:51+ which in part resulted in Stephen's stoning!). Augustine wrote "They failed to apprehend Him, because they lacked the hand of faith." And He eluded (exerchomai - got away from) their grasp (hand) - It was not Jesus' time to die. John 10:29 had spoken of the Father's protection of the sheep, so how much greater the Father's protection for the Son, the Good Shepherd! Trench -“He went forth out of that closing circle – the power that emanated from Him preventing their laying hands on Him: it was the same power that he allowed to issue from Him on the night of His arrest.” John
