Church Fathers on Matthew 12:14

The Pharisees are moved with jealousy at what had been done; because beholding the outward body of a man, they did not recognize the God in His works; 'The Pharisees sent out and sought counsel against him, how they ought destroy him.'

Hilary of Poitiers · 4th century

He says, 'went out' because their mind was alien from the Lord. They took counsel how they might destroy life, not how themselves might find life.

Rabanus Maurus · 9th century

Knowing, that is, their designs against Him withdrew Himself, that He might remove from the Pharisees all opportunity of sin.
