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.
The pronoun auton {αὐτόν | autón} is placed immediately after the verb, keeping the focus on the lethal intent while assuming the reader knows the referent from context.
In context — Luke 22:2
And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might kill Him , for they feared the people .
