Matthew 12:16
Compare all
14 Then athe Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him.  

Behold, My Servant

15 But when Jesus knew it, aHe withdrew from there. bAnd great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all.  
16 Yet He awarned them not to make Him known,  
17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:
18 “Behold! aMy Servant whom I have chosen,
My Beloved bin whom My soul is well pleased!
I will put My Spirit upon Him,
And He will declare justice to the Gentiles.

Matthew 12:14-16

Is it possible that He was playing it safe? Yes it is! Verse 14 sets you up for that. He withdrew from the area. It was not notoriety that He was after. The opposition of some of the Pharisees drove Jesus into semi-retirement for a little while. He was not about to deliberately provoke the Pharisees into a fight and so discretion was the better part of valor. The best thing to do was to get out of the area, and not challenge these people.
