Affected Teaching

The King James states that as Jesus was saying these things, that is when the Scribes and Pharisees began to provoke Him to start speaking about many matters. Some of the modern versions state that after Jesus left, that is when they started to question Him. Now I have a question. How do you question someone that has left the scene? If you look at the continuation of this scene in Luke 12, Jesus began to teach the people. If he left, then how did He teach an innumerable amount of people. (Luke 11:54 KJV) Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him. (Luke 12:1 KJV) In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. This is just another terrible mutilation of the New Testament.
