UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

καὶ

and

Luke uses the word And to introduce further background information that will help readers understand what happens next in the story. Alternate translation: “Now”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ πῶς ἀνέλωσιν αὐτόν

the_‹way› how ˱they˲_/may/_kill him

These leaders did not have the authority to kill Jesus themselves. Rather, they were hoping to get others to kill him. Alternate translation: “how they might cause Jesus to be put to death” or “how they could have Jesus killed”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐφοβοῦντο γὰρ τὸν λαόν

˱they˲_/were/_fearing for the people

These leaders were not trying to have Jesus killed because they were afraid of the people. Rather, they were seeking how to have him killed, by implication quietly, because they were afraid that the people would make a great disturbance if they did this publicly. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “quietly, because they were afraid that the people would riot if they did it publicly”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν λαόν

the people

This means specifically the great crowds of people who had been coming to hear Jesus teach, as Luke describes in 21:38. Alternate translation: “the many people who were coming to hear him teach”
