Matthew 21:26
21:26 But if we say, ‘From people,’ we fear the crowd, for they all consider John to be a prophet.”
Matthew 21:46
21:46 They wanted to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowds, because the crowds 1 regarded him as a prophet.
1 tn Grk “they”; the referent (the crowds) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Both previous occurrences of “they” in this verse refer to the chief priests and the Pharisees.
