Exegesis

The object of their searching is expressed as a nominalized clause, to pos anelosin auton {τὸ πῶς ἀνέλωσιν αὐτόν | tó pṓs anélōsin autón}, literally “the how they might kill Him,” where the article to {τὸ | tó} turns the interrogative adverb pos {πῶς | pṓs} plus the subjunctive verb anelosin {ἀνέλωσιν | anélōsin} into the content of their plotting. The aorist subjunctive indicates a contemplated decisive act.

In contextLuke 22:2

And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might kill Him , for they feared the people .
