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

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

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

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.

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

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].
