“And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.”
But they were furious and began to discuss with one another what they might do to Jesus — the fury (eplēsthēsan anoias, filled with senselessness/madness) is the response to the healing that should have produced wonder. What they might do to Jesus: the conspiracy to harm Jesus begins explicitly in Luke at this point, following the pattern of Mark 3:6. The miracle that should have opened eyes has hardened hearts.
