Exegesis
The noun phrase to pascha kai ta azuma {τὸ πάσχα καὶ τὰ ἄζυμα | tò páscha kai tá ázyma} groups the two closely linked festivals, the Passover and the Unleavened Bread, as a single unit.
The imperfect ezetoun {ἐζήτουν | ezḗ-toun} portrays the religious leaders’ continuous search, and the coordinated subject hoi archiereis kai hoi grammateis {οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ γραμματεῖς | hoí archiereîs kai hoí grammateîs} highlights their joint action.
In context — Mark 14:1
Now the Passover and the Unleavened Bread were two days away, and the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how, by craft, they might seize Him and kill Him.
