Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

Study Note
The scribes and Pharisees are described as 'laying wait' for Jesus, seeking to 'catch something out of his mouth' that they might use as grounds for accusation. The Greek 'enedreuo' (to lie in ambush) draws on the language of hunting, portraying the religious authorities as predators stalking their prey. This verse contextualizes the entire hostile confrontation of Luke 11, where woes against Pharisees and scribes are met not with repentance but escalating opposition. Ironically, the one who is ambushed will himself declare at the cross 'it is finished' — every trap set for him becomes the occasion of his triumph.
