Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he healed them all. Jesus' withdrawal is not retreat but strategic movement: aware of the conspiracy, he avoids the confrontation before the appointed time. The many who follow and the healing of all of them communicate the continued fruitfulness of his ministry despite the Pharisaic opposition. The withdrawal from danger is paired with the continued healing — the opposition cannot stop the kingdom's advance.
