Exegesis
The verse opens with kai {καὶ | kaí} linking this scene to the preceding narrative, marking a continued sequence of hostile action.
The imperfect ezetoun {ἐζήτουν | ezḗtoun} portrays an ongoing, deliberate search, not a single moment, and governs a compound subject, hoi archiereis kai hoi grammateis {οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς | hoi archiereîs kaí hoi grammateîs}, with the repeated article and conjunction underscoring two distinct but allied leadership groups.
In context — Luke 22:2
And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might kill Him , for they feared the people .
