Exegesis
The main verb eipon {εἶπον | eîpon} ‘they said’ introduces direct speech, with the prepositional phrase en heautois {ἐν ἑαυτοῖς | heautoîs} ‘among themselves’ indicating private deliberation.
The pair of exhortations—the aorist imperative deute {δεῦτε | dêute} ‘come’ followed by the subjunctives apokteinomen {ἀποκτείνωμεν | apokteinốmen} ‘let us kill’ and skhomen {σχῶμεν | skhốmen} ‘let us seize’—express the conspirators’ urgent collective resolve, linked by the conjunction kai {καὶ | kaì}.
In context — Matthew 21:38
But the farmers, upon seeing the son, said among themselves, “This is the heir . Come, let us kill him and seize the inheritance .”
