Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(54) Laying wait for him.--The better MSS. give the verse in a somewhat simpler form, laying wait to catch something out of His mouth. The words throw light on the subsequent question about paying tribute to Caesar (Matthew 22:15-22; Mark 12:13-17), and show it to have been the acting out of a pre-concerted policy.Parallel Commentaries ...Greekwaitingἐνεδρεύοντες (enedreuontes)Verb - Present Participle Active - Nominative Masculine PluralStrong's 1748: To lie in wait (ambush) for, seek to entrap (hence: I defraud, deceive).
