When the scribes and chief priests realized that Jesus had spoken this parable against them, they sought to arrest Him that very hour. But they were afraid of the people.

World English Bible (WEB)

The chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him that very hour, but they feared the people—for they knew he had spoken this parable against them.

Strong's King James

And{G2532} the chief priests{G749} and{G2532} the scribes{G1122} the same{G1722}{G846} hour{G5610} sought{G2212}{(G5656)} to lay{G1911}{(G5629)} hands{G5495} on{G1909} him{G846}; and{G2532} they feared{G5399}{(G5675)} the people{G2992}: for{G1063} they perceived{G1097}{(G5627)} that{G3754} he had spoken{G2036}{(G5627)} this{G5026} parable{G3850} against{G4314} them{G846}.

The F.O.G *

(19) The Torah-scribes and the leading priests tried to lay hands upon Him in His hour because they understood that He spoke this riddle against them but they feared the people.

The F.O.G Message *

[19] The religious scholars and chief priests realized He had exposed their hearts through this story. They wanted to arrest Him immediately but feared the people's reaction. They themselves were the wicked tenants in His parable.

Young's Literal Translation

And the chief priests and the scribes sought to lay hands on him in that hour, and they feared the people, for they knew that against them he spake this simile.
