Jesus didn't intervene, that suggest He stepped in without being asked, the scribes and Pharisees were trying to cause Him to do something they could condemn, He turned their actions upon them.
So he did it to save himself because he wasn't ready to be crucified yet?

What a wonderful way of avoiding the problem of God saving one child while allowing millions of other children to die of starvation, wars and disease. Then there's the other problem of why he saves some atheists.
Rebecca Vitsmun, Atheist Oklahoma Tornado Survivor, Sees Thousands In Indiegogo Campaign Donations
Quote:After a vicious tornado ripped through her Moore, Okla. home on Tuesday, Rebecca Vitsmun was lucky to be alive.
In a Tuesday interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Vitsmun was asked if she was thanking "the Lord" for deciding to escape home with her 19-month-old son. She hesitated for a moment, before telling Blitzer that she was actually an atheist.
People of all religions have survived things against all odds. If God saves Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists and NeoPagans etc. for mysterious reasons of his own it suggests that he isn't fussy about someone'e religion or lack of it. After all, a Hindu who thinks he/she lived through divine intervention will thank a Hindu deity, not the Christian God.
