Matthew records that after John's execution by Herod Jesus left to go to a desert place with His disciples.
13When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities. Mark and Luke add the additional detail that the disciples had just returned from their 'preaching assignment' and do not mention that the going off to a place alone was a direct reaction to John's death. In fact the suggestion is that there was so much going on that the opportunity for a private 'debriefing' necessitated them getting away from the crowd and so not necessarily as a direct reaction to John's death. Matthew does not necessarily imply that the departure was a direct consequence of John's execution either or that Jesus was fleeing for His life in fear and trembling. There were a number of occasions when Jesus, due to the crowds that followed Him, sought for some 'peace and quiet' either for His own sake or for the disciples (that they could be taught in peace) or both.
29And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb. 30And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. 31And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 9And Herod said, John have I beheaded: but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him. 10And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
