53 When He left there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be very hostile and to question Him closely on many subjects,
53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
53 When He left there,(ag) the scribes and the Pharisees began to oppose(CO) Him fiercely and to cross-examine Him about many things;
53 As Jesus was leaving, the scribes and the Pharisees began to oppose him fiercely, interrogating him about many things.
