📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus had just healed a man on the Sabbath, which provoked the Pharisees to plot against him due to their strict interpretation of Jewish law. Aware of their intentions, Jesus wisely withdrew from the area to continue his ministry without escalating the conflict. Despite this, large crowds followed him, and he demonstrated his compassion by healing all who came to him, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah.
