And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, trying him.

And there came unto him Pharisees, and asked him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife? trying him.

They were trying to arrest him but were afraid of the crowd. Realizing that he had spoken this parable against them, they left him alone and went away.

Two days before the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the chief priests and the experts in the law were trying to find a way to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him.

Now the chief priests and the whole Council kept trying to obtain testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, and they were not finding any.
