Joh 10:40 | MHM | STEP | v. 40 : Jesus escaped from their grasp and withdrew beyond the Jordan. This was not an act of fear, but a demonstration of God’s power and wisdom. Jesus avoided harm because his time to suffer had not yet come. He went to a quieter area where he could continue his work. This reminds us that no weapon formed against Jesus or his mission can succeed. He stayed in the place where John the Baptist had first baptized, a location that held spiritual significance (John 10:40 ).
