But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
All Commentaries on Matthew 21:46 Go To Matthew 21
Theophylact of Ochrid
AD 1107
. See once again that the multitude, which is simple and guileless, follows the truth, while the teachers of the law work evil. But even today there are Jews who seek to lay hands on Christ, but they neither grasp nor understand Him. For they shall grasp the Antichrist and shall bow down and worship him, while Christ will not be grasped, that is, understood, by them.
