20:19 they realized he was telling the story against them: The story provoked the religious leaders to act it out by arresting and killing Jesus.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐζήτησαν & ἐπιβαλεῖν ἐπ’ αὐτὸν τὰς χεῖρας
sought & /to/_lay_on on him their hands
The expression to lay hands on means to arrest a person by association with the way that arresting officers might physically take hold of the person with their hands. Alternate translation: “looked for a way to arrest Jesus”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ
in /the/_same ¬the hour
Here Luke uses the term hour to refer to a specific time. Alternate translation: “right at that time” or “immediately”
Note 3 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν λαόν
and and and ˱they˲_/were/_afraid the people
Luke uses the word and to introduce a contrast between what the Jewish leaders wanted to do and this reason why they were not able to do. Alternate translation: “but they were afraid of what the people might do”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐφοβήθησαν τὸν λαόν
˱they˲_/were/_afraid the people
If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state explicitly that the religious leaders did not arrest Jesus, even though they wanted to, and why they did not. Alternate translation: “but they knew that the people respected Jesus and they were afraid of what the people might do if they did arrest him, so they did not arrest him right then”
Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
ἔγνωσαν γὰρ ὅτι πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἶπεν τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην
˱they˲_knew for that against them ˱he˲_spoke ¬the parable this
If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this the first clause in the verse, since it gives the reason why the religious leaders wanted to arrest Jesus. That is what UST does, making the clause a separate sentence.
