Why did Jesus react so strongly on these and other occasions? Because he saw clearly that more than his personal safety or advantage was involved.
فَلَمَّا شَعَرَ أَنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ ٱلَّذِينَ رَأَوْا عَجَائِبَهُ كَانُوا « عَلَى وَشْكِ أَنْ يَأْتُوا وَيَأْخُذُوهُ عَنْوَةً لِيَجْعَلُوهُ مَلِكًا » ،‏ ٱنْصَرَفَ عَلَى ٱلْفَوْرِ .‏ —‏ يوحنا ٦ :‏ ١٥‏ .‏
