Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
But no one dared speak out boldly about Him for fear of [the leaders of] the Jews.
Yet no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
No one spoke about him publicly, though, for fear of the Jewish authorities.
Yet no one was speaking openly about him, out of fear of the Jews.
Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
