Exegesis
The nominative subject thorybos {θόρυβος | THÓ-ry-bos} ‘uproar’ is further defined by the genitive tou laou {τοῦ λαοῦ | toû la-oû} ‘of the people’, indicating that the disturbance would arise from the crowd. In translation, the imperfect is rendered with a past progressive or simple past that still implies deliberation, gar is represented as “for” or left implicit in natural English flow, and the mēpote clause is expressed with “lest” in the formal reconstruction and “or there could be” in the dynamic reconstruction to capture the sense of anxious avoidance.
In context — Mark 14:2
For they were saying, “Not during the feast , lest there will be an uproar of the people.”
