# lying in wait for him

The writer speaks of the Pharisees as if they were thieves hiding by the side of a road waiting for someone to come by whom they could overpower and rob. In this case, they were waiting for him to say something for which they could accuse him. Alternate translation: "plotting against him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
