SCRIPTURE

"But he passing through the midst of them went his way." — Luke 4:30 (ASV)

He passing through the midst of them.—The words do not necessarily involve a directly supernatural deliverance, as though the multitude had been struck with blindness, or our Lord had become invisible. We have no right to insert miracles in the Gospel records. Calmness, silence, the moral power of self-possessed righteousness have in themselves a power, often proved, to baffle the fury of an angry mob.
