But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.' Jesus has just announced his mission in his hometown synagogue. They're offended and want to kill him. And he simply walks through them and leaves.
No confrontation. No appeal. No negotiation. Just: it's not your time yet. I have places to go. That calmness in the face of hostile intent suggests Jesus knows who he is and what he's about. The crowd can't determine his path because he's not looking to them for validation.
