“It cannot be,” said Jesus in Luke 13:33, “that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.”
Members of his family knew that the authorities in Jerusalem were plotting Jesus’ death, so they encouraged him to “go up” to the city.
He told them that he wouldn’t, yet. And then, after they had left, he did so secretly. Plainly, Jesus was capable of stratagem. He knew that he had to die, but there were other things that he still wanted to do first.
