[Lukongsimi]

the Bible depicts instances where Jesus walked away from the Pharisees. For example, after criticizing their hypocrisy, Jesus left and went to the area of Tyre and Sidon according to Matthew 15:21, a Bible Study Tool notes. In another instance, according to Luke 11:53, Bible Hub reports Jesus left the house of his Pharisee entertainers after uttering the last "woe". Jesus also withdrew from the Pharisees and instead ministered to the multitudes who wanted to hear his teaching, according to BruceAshford.net. These instances suggest that Jesus chose to prioritize his ministry and ministry effectiveness by not engaging with individuals who were unwilling to listen or were actively trying to harm him.
