So from that time on, the Jewish leaders began to plot Jesus’ death. 54 As a result, Jesus stopped his public ministry among the people and left Jerusalem. He went to a place near the wilderness, to the village of Ephraim, and stayed there with his disciples.
Yes, they plotted His death but do you think they could have accomplished it if He did not let them? He could have said one word and a Legion of angels would have come to Him. The creation knew who He was. The sea obeyed Him. The wind obeyed His voice. No, He was not murdered. He gave His life willingly!
Two things can be true at the same time.
