Luke 11:54

54 insidiantes et quaerentes capere aliquid ex ore eius ut accusarent eum

Luke 11:54 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:54

Laying wait for him
To ensnare and entangle him, watching his words, observing what he said, and laying hold thereon:

and seeking to catch something out of his mouth;
like beasts of prey, or hunters, that were watching for their prey; or lay ambush, diligently looking out, and greedily catching at every thing they thought for their purpose:

that they might accuse him;
either of heresy or sedition, to the Jewish sanhedrim, or the Roman governor.

Luke 11:54 In-Context

52 vae vobis legis peritis quia tulistis clavem scientiae ipsi non introistis et eos qui introibant prohibuistis

53 cum haec ad illos diceret coeperunt Pharisaei et legis periti graviter insistere et os eius opprimere de multis

54 insidiantes et quaerentes capere aliquid ex ore eius ut accusarent eum
