A Miraculous Escape?
Commentators are divided on how Jesus escaped. Some, like John Calvin, argue for a clear miracle where God supernaturally protected Jesus. Others suggest that the sheer force of Christ's divine calm and 'self-possessed righteousness' disarmed the angry mob without an overt miracle. The text itself focuses on the result, not the method.
