And He healed them all.
Matthew 12:14-16, But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how to destroy him. Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. And many followed him, and he healed them all and ordered them not to make him known.
How amazing is it that the religious leaders were so threatened by Jesus that they would accuse him of violating the law by healing a man on the Sabbath? They only wanted to justify their own position no matter how foolish it was, and swept aside the miraculous healing. He withdrew and went on healing, seeking no recognition for Himself, as part of His walk to the cross. John writes that he did so many other things that Jesus did that “Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.”
Give us Your strength to do the right thing even when there is unfair and evil opposition.
