But passing through their midst, he went away. (Luke 4:30 ESV)
Jesus had chosen to come home to Nazareth, to attend the Sabbath service at the synagogue, to stand up and share from God's work, and to speak the truth. The response of the crowd was all over the place - from agreement, to wonder, to doubt, and ultimately, out-of-control anger. Through it all, Jesus remained in control, so when they arrive at the edge of the cliff, they are empty-handed, empty-headed, and hard-hearted. Even when we get out of control, He is still in control. There is no better Solid Rock.
