SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #398And he went again beyond the Jordan, into that place where John was baptizing first. And there he abode. And many resorted to him: and they said: "John indeed did no sign. But all things whatsoever John said of this man were true." And many believed in him. (John 10:40-42)
OUR LORD'S DIVINITY is proved in several ways in this chapter. It is proved: 1. by His own distinct testimony, 2. by His miracles, 3. by the holiness of His life.
3. THE TESTIMONY OF OUR LORD'S HOLINESS, which was a further proof of the truth of His words, and therefore of His divine nature. Even His enemies, who hated Him, could not reproach Him with any evil deed, but admitted by their silence, when He appealed to them, that He had never done anything but good.
