SCRIPTURE

"They sought again to take him: and he went forth out of their hand." — John 10:39 (ASV)

Sought again to take him. They evidently understood him as still claiming equality with God, and under this impression Jesus left them. Nor can it be doubted that he intended to leave them with this impression; and if so, then he is divine.

He escaped. See John 8:59.
