Matthew 21:46

But when they sought to lay hands on him—which Luke (Luke 20:19) says they did "the same hour," hardly able to restrain their rage.

they feared the multitude—rather, "the multitudes."

because they took him for a prophet—just as they feared to say John's baptism was of men, because the masses took him for a prophet (Matthew 21:26). Miserable creatures! So, for this time, "they left Him and went their way" (Mark 12:12).
