Exegesis
The hina {ἵνα | hína} clause with aorist subjunctive kategorēsōsin {κατηγορήσωσιν | katēgorḗsōsin} expresses intended purpose, ‘in order that they might accuse’, and the final autou {αὐτοῦ | autoû} marks the person against whom the legal accusations are to be directed. The English renderings preserve the durative aspect of the imperfect (“were watching,” “kept a close eye on”) and make explicit the adversarial, legal purpose conveyed by the hina-clause.
In context — Mark 3:2
And they were watching Him closely to see whether He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him.
