Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

φαγεῖν ἄρτον

/to/_eat bread

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ αὐτοὶ ἦσαν παρατηρούμενοι αὐτόν

and and they were watching_closely him

The implication is that other Pharisees were also present, as 14:3 indicates explicitly, and that they all wanted to find a way to accuse Jesus of saying or doing something wrong. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. It might be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: “Many other Pharisees were present, and they were all watching Jesus closely to try to catch him saying or doing something wrong”
