Exegesis
The clause autois paradō auton {αὐτοῖς παραδῷ αὐτόν | autoîs paradō̂ autón} further defines this “how” through a deliberative aorist subjunctive paradō, conveying purposeful planning rather than an accomplished fact. The pronoun auton, referring contextually to Jesus, is placed at the end for focus, highlighting the intended victim of the plot. In translation, the participle plus main verb sequence is rendered with a temporal subordinate idea (“after he went away”) followed by the main action (“he discussed/talked”), while the articular “how” is expressed as “how he might/could betray Him,” preserving the deliberative force of the subjunctive and the conspiratorial nuance of the original grammar.
In context — Luke 22:4
And after he went away, he discussed with the chief priests and the officers how he might hand Him over to them.
