Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

So they grabbed stones to throw at him, but Jesus basically disappeared and walked right out of the temple, somehow slipping past all of them without being seen.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Jesus had perfect timing for his exit strategy — not even a crowd with stones could touch him before his time.
