可是他們不知道怎樣下手，因為民眾都傾心聽他。

但寻不出法子来，因为百姓都侧耳听他。

但找不出方法来，因为百姓都侧耳听他。

但找不出方法来，因为百姓都侧耳听他。

只是无从下手，因为百姓都十分喜爱听祂讲道。

但他们不知道要怎样下手，因为众人都围着他，听他的教训。

可是他们不知道怎样下手，因为民众都倾心听他。

但尋不出法子來，因為百姓都側耳聽他。

但找不出方法來，因為百姓都側耳聽他。

但找不出方法來，因為百姓都側耳聽他。

只是無從下手，因為百姓都十分喜愛聽祂講道。

但他們不知道要怎樣下手，因為眾人都圍著他，聽他的教訓。

卻尋不出所可行的；因為眾民都緊纏着耶穌來聽他。

但未得所為、因民皆傾聽之也、

惟不知所為、因眾傾聽之也、

惟無計可施、因民皆傾聽之也、

Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.

But they couldn’t find any way to do it. All the people were paying close attention to his words.

but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were hanging on his words.

But they could think of nothing, because all the people hung on every word he said.

but they could not find a way to do it, because all the people were captivated by what they heard.

and yet they could not find anything that they might do, for all the people were hanging on to every word He said.

and were unable to do anything; for all the people were very attentive to hear Him.

and they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung upon him, listening.

but they could not find a way to do it, because all the people were captivated by what they heard.

And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

but they could not find a way to do it, for all the people hung on his words.

They couldn’t find what they might do, for all the people hung on to every word that he said.

經文士和祭司長們知道這個比喻是針對他們而說的，當時就想下手捉拿耶穌，可是又怕民眾。於是，他們密切注意，派了一些奸細裝做好人，要抓耶穌的話柄，好把他交在總督的管理和權柄之下。

有一個敬拜神的婦人，名叫莉迪婭，是錫亞蒂拉城賣紫色布的商人。她一直在聽，主開啟她的心竅，使她留心保羅所講的話。

差役們回答：「從來沒有人像這個人那樣講話！」法利賽人說：「難道你們也被迷惑了嗎？難道首領或法利賽人中有信他的嗎？這不懂律法的民眾是被詛咒的！」

法利賽人就去商議，怎樣找耶穌的話柄來陷害他。他們派了自己的門徒們與希律黨的人一同去見耶穌，說：「老師，我們知道你是真誠的，並且按真理教導神的道。你不顧忌任何人，因為你不看人的情面。

祭司長們和經文士們在圖謀怎樣能殺掉耶穌，因為他們怕民眾。那時，撒旦進入了那稱為加略人的猶大裡面。猶大算是十二使徒中的一個。他去跟祭司長們和守衛長們商量怎樣把耶穌交給他們。
