48 Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.

48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

48 But they could think of nothing, because all the people hung on every word he said.

48 and were unable to do anything; for all the people were very attentive to hear Him.

48 But they did not know how they could do it, because all the people were listening closely to him.

48 and they could not find what they might do; for the people all hung upon him, listening.

48 and did not find what they could do, for all the people hung on him to hear.

48 But they could not find a way to do it, because all the people were eager to hear him. 

48 but they could not find a way to do it, because all the people were captivated by what they heard.

48 but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were spellbound by what they heard.

48 And they did not find anything they could do, because all the people were paying close attention to what they were hearing from him.

48 But they couldn’t find any way to do it. All the people were paying close attention to his words.

48 and they could not find anything that they might do, for all the people were hanging on to every word He said.
