但尋不出法子來，因為百姓都側耳聽他。

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。

可是他們不知道怎樣下手，因為民眾都傾心聽他。

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.

文士和祭司長看出這比喻是指着他們說的，當時就想要下手拿他，只是懼怕百姓。於是窺探耶穌，打發奸細裝作好人，要在他的話上得把柄，好將他交在巡撫的政權之下。

有一個賣紫色布疋的婦人，名叫呂底亞，是推雅推喇城的人，素來敬拜神。她聽見了，主就開導她的心，叫她留心聽保羅所講的話。

差役回答說：「從來沒有像他這樣說話的！」法利賽人說：「你們也受了迷惑嗎？官長或是法利賽人豈有信他的呢？但這些不明白律法的百姓是被咒詛的！」

當時，法利賽人出去商議，怎樣就着耶穌的話陷害他，就打發他們的門徒同希律黨的人去見耶穌，說：「夫子，我們知道你是誠實人，並且誠誠實實傳神的道，甚麼人你都不徇情面，因為你不看人的外貌。

在水門前的寬闊處，從清早到晌午，在眾男女、一切聽了能明白的人面前讀這律法書。眾民側耳而聽。

祭司長和文士想法子怎麼才能殺害耶穌，是因他們懼怕百姓。這時，撒但入了那稱為加略人猶大的心；他本是十二門徒裏的一個。他去和祭司長並守殿官商量，怎麼可以把耶穌交給他們。
