Spying out Jesus.

So they watched him and sent spies who pretended to be honest, in order to trap him by what he said, so as to hand him over to the jurisdiction and authority of the governor. (Luke 20:20)

They were on to him; he was being watched; his group was being infiltrated.  They weren’t an uncivilized mob – yet – they needed evidence, they had laws and it was important that they kept to the law.  So they sent in the spies, pretending to be honest, pretending to be sincere, but listening for the word with which they could bring him down.
