The Jewish leaders challenged Jesus to say clearly that he was the Messiah if he was. Jesus told them that he had told them but they did not believe him because they were not his sheep. He said that he gives his sheep eternal life and no one can take them from him.
Jesus also said that he was one with God the Father, so the religious authorities wanted to kill him. They said that this was blasphemy (speaking against God). Jesus said that it was not blasphemy because he was the one God sent into the world. He also said that God was in him and he was in God. His opponents again tried to seize him, and he again escaped from them.
Jesus then went back to the east side of the Jordan River, away from Jerusalem. Many followed him and believed in him.
Here are other possible section headings:
Some Jewish leaders wrongly said that Jesus spoke against God
Jewish leaders became very angry with Jesus
Jewish leaders challenged Jesus
Jesus went back to the east side of the Jordan River, away from Jerusalem. This was a quieter and safer area, and he could continue to teach and heal the people.
And many in that place believed in Jesus.
And many people believed in Jesus in that place.
And in that place many people put their trust in Jesus.
And: The conjunction And here introduces a concluding statement.
many in that place believed in Jesus: These people trusted Jesus as the chosen Savior, the Messiah. They believed that he was who he said he was, and who John the Baptist had said he was. Here is another way to translate this clause:
in that place many believed in Jesus (NIV)
in that place: This word refers to the area at the Jordan River where John the Baptist first began his ministry.
believed in Jesus: This phrase includes the idea of believing the facts about who Jesus was and what he did. But it also includes the idea of trusting Jesus instead of trusting oneself or someone else. Both ideas are very closely related. If someone believes the facts about Jesus, it should result in trusting him. See how you translated similar phrases in 1:12b, 7:31a, and 7:38a. Here are other ways to translate this idea:
put their faith in Jesus (CEV)
became believers
