But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way — the passing through the crowd is the first of Jesus' escapes in Luke that depend on divine protection rather than human effort. He walked right through (dielthōn dia mesou autōn) — the crowd that had driven him to the cliff cannot stop him. The time for his death has not yet come; he goes on his way (eporeueto) — the journey continues.
