47 And (D)He was teaching daily in the temple, but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people (E)were trying to destroy Him, 48 and they could not find [b]anything that they might do, for all the people hung upon [c]every word He said.

47 Every day he was teaching(D) in the temple. The chief priests, the scribes, and the leaders of the people were looking for a way to kill(E) him, 48 but they could not find a way to do it, because all the people(F) were captivated by what they heard.
