SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:40
Y se volvi al otro lado del Jordn, a aquel lugar donde primero había estado bautizando Juan; y permaneci allí.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 10:40
Verse 40. Beyond Jordan] Rather, to the side of Jordan, not beyond it. See the note on chap. vi. 22, and Matt. xix. 1. Where John at first baptized] That is, at Bethabara: see chap. i. 28.
Afterwards, John baptized at AEnon: chap. iii. 23.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 40. And went away again beyond Jordan , etc.] Where he had been before; and whither he went; not merely for the security of his person, much less to indulge himself in ease, but to preach the Gospel, work miracles, and bring many souls to believe on him, as did: and he went into the place where John at first baptized ; that is, Bethabara, where he baptized before he was at Aenon, near Salim, ( John 1:28 3:23), and was the place where Christ himself was baptized, and where John bore such a testimony of him: and there he abode ; how long is not certain, perhaps till he went to Bethany, on account of raising Lazarus from the dead.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 39-42 - No weapon formed against our Lord Jesus shall prosper. He escaped, no because he was afraid to suffer, but because his hour was not come. An He who knew how to deliver himself, knows how to deliver the godly ou of their temptations, and to make a way for them to escape. Persecutor may drive Christ and his gospel our of their own city or country, but they cannot drive him or it out of the world. When we know Christ by faith in our hearts, we find all that the Scripture saith of him is true __________________________________________________________________

40. Beyond Jordan (peran tou Iordanou). Into the region called Peroea, from peran, beyond. It was on the east side of the river, and was the ancient possession of Gad and Reuben. It corresponds, in an enlarged sense, to the region round about Jordan (Matt. iii. 5; Luke iii. 3). Compare Matt. xix. 1; Mark x. 1.
