Passage
And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
John 10:39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand,
John 10:40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode.
John 10:41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true.
John 10:42 And many believed on him there.
The verse centers on "all things", "resorted", "said", "john", "miracle", "spake", and "true". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "all things" and "resorted", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 40's "And went away again beyond Jordan into..." into verse 42's "And many believed on him there...", so "all things" and "resorted" belong inside that flow. In John context, the local focus is the identity of Jesus, new birth, eternal life, and belief and unbelief.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "all things" and "resorted" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
