And they sought to lay hold on him; and they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spake the parable against them: and they left him, and went away.

And they made attempts to take him; but they were in fear of the people, because they saw that the story was against them; and they went away from him.

Και εζητουν να πιασωσιν αυτον και εφοβηθησαν τον οχλον· επειδη ενοησαν οτι προς αυτους ειπε την παραβολην· και αφησαντες αυτον ανεχωρησαν.

And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: and they left him, and went their way.
