Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

See the chapter Copy

And all spoke well of him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth; and they said, “Is not this Joseph's son?”

and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

And here he is, speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Christ?

The Pharisees heard the crowd thus muttering about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
