4:42 The next morning 1 Jesus 2 departed and went to a deserted place. Yet 3 the crowds were seeking him, and they came to him and tried to keep him from leaving them.
19:47 Jesus 4 was teaching daily in the temple courts. The chief priests and the experts in the law 5 and the prominent leaders among the people were seeking to assassinate 6 him,
1 tn Grk “When it became day.”
2 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate that the crowds still sought Jesus in spite of his withdrawal.
4 tn Grk “And he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
5 tn Grk “and the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.
6 tn Grk “to destroy.”
sn The action at the temple was the last straw. In their view, if Jesus could cause trouble in the holy place, then he must be stopped, so the leaders were seeking to assassinate him.
