Counsels on Health - Ellen G. White

the gospel was keenly felt by the Son of God, and
it was most painful to Him in His home; for His
own heart was full of kindness and love, and He
appreciated tender regard in the family relation.
But with their short measuring line His brothers
could not fathom the mission that He came to
fulfill and therefore could not sympathize with Him
in His trials.
Enmity of the Pharisees
Some of those whom Christ healed He charged
to tell no man. He knew that the more the Pharisees
and Sadducees and rulers heard of His miracles, the
more they would try to hedge up His way. But
notwithstanding His precautions, “so much the
more went there a fame abroad of Him: and great
multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed
by Him of their infirmities.” Luke 5:15. Again and
again He was followed by the priests, who
expressed their violent sentiments against Him in
order to stir up the enmity of the people. But when
He could no longer safely remain in one place He
went to another.
