Matthew 21:17
Douay-Rheims
And leaving them, he went out of the city into Bethania, and remained there.
John Chrysostom (attributed)
A bad man is better overcome by giving way to him than by replying to him; for wickedness is not instructed but stimulated by reproof. The Lord accordingly sought by withdrawing Himself to check those whom His words could not check; whence it is said, And He left them, and went out of the city into Bethany.
