"In other words, Jesus retreats in the face of danger,
-
he doesn't go toward it,but instead of retreating and hiding,
-
he goes to another place and then he starts giving the message out.
-
This is when He really starts his own preaching ministry,
-
after John the Baptist is arrested.
-
Notice what happens there,look again at--now look at
-
12:15, Matthew 12:15.
-
Reading just a little bit above that,
-
Jesus is disputing with the Pharisees and verse 14 says,
-
"But the Pharisees went out and
-
conspired against him how to destroy him,"
-
another threat this time from the Pharisees against Jesus.
