John 10:40

JohnJordan

38 But if I am doing them, even though you do not believe Me, believe the works themselves, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father.”

39 At this, they tried again to seize Him, but He escaped their grasp.

Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had first been baptizing, and He stayed there.

41 Many came to Him and said, “Although John never performed a sign, everything he said about this man was true.”

42 And many in that place believed in Jesus.
