Exegesis
The imperfect ezētoun {ἐζήτουν | e-zḗ-toun} ‘were seeking’, combined with the interrogative pōs {πῶς | pôs} ‘how’ and the aorist subjunctive apolesōsin {ἀπολέσωσιν | a-po-lé-sō-sin} ‘to destroy’, conveys their ongoing plotting.
In context — Mark 11:18
The chief priests and the scribes heard this and deliberated how to destroy Him , for they were filled with dread of Him, since the whole crowd was astonished at His teaching .
