The Pharisees went out took council against Jesus to him to death. When Jesus realized this, he withdrew from that place. Many people followed him, and he cured them all, but he wanted them not to make him known. This was to fulfill what had been spoken through Isaiah the prophet. Behold, my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom I delight; I shall place my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles. He will not contend or cry out, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets. A bruised reed he will not break, a smoldering wick he will not quench, until he brings justice to victory. And in his name the Gentiles will hope.
Consideration: Jesus, knowing that the council conspiring to put him to death withdrew. Out of love and compassion he cured all that followed him out of that place; because his time had not yet come.
