SCRIPTURE

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

But he, passing through the midst of them When Luke says that Jesus passed through the middle of the crowd, and so escaped out of their hands, he means that God rescued him, by an extraordinary miracle, from immediate death.

This example teaches us that, though our adversaries may prevail so far, that our life may seem to be placed at their disposal, yet the power of God will always be victorious to preserve us, so long as he is pleased to keep us in the world, either by tying their hands, blinding their eyes, or stupefying their minds and hearts.
