SCRIPTURE
"And they sought to lay hold on him; and they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spake the parable against them: and they left him, and went away." — Mark 12:12 (ASV)
They sought to lay hold on him.—The pronoun carries us back to the "chief priests and scribes and elders" of Mark 11:27.
