for they said, Not during the feast, lest haply there shall be a tumult of the people.

But they said, Not while the feast is going on, for fear there may be trouble among the people.

Ελεγον δε, Μη εν τη εορτη, μηποτε γεινη θορυβος του λαου.

But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.
