John 10:39

An Understandable Version (2005 edition)

[Then] the Jews again tried to arrest Him, but He escaped from their hands.

See the chapter Copy

Then they [i.e., the authorities] tried to arrest Jesus, but no one laid a hand on Him because His time had not yet come.

So, they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus hid Himself [or “was hidden,” suggesting a miraculous departure] and left the Temple [area].

Some of them wanted to arrest Him, but no one [attempted to] lay a hand on Him.

Then the Jews again picked up stones [intending] to stone Him.

But the Pharisees left and began discussing together how they could arrange to kill Him.
