What the Bible says about Discretion as the Better Part of Valor
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Matthew 12:14-16 Could Jesus have been playing it safe? Yes! Verse 14 sets us up for that. The opposition of some of the Pharisees drove Jesus into semi-retirement for a little while. He was not seeking notoriety, and He was not about to provoke the Pharisees into a fight, so in this case, discretion was the better part of valor. The best thing to do was to leave the area and not challenge them. John W. Ritenbaugh A Place of Safety?
