Exegesis
The purpose clause is introduced by hopos {ὅπως | hópōs} “in order that,” followed by the aorist subjunctive pagideusōsin {παγιδεύσωσιν | pagideúsōsin}, which expresses intended outcome rather than accomplished fact.
In context — Matthew 22:15
Then the Pharisees went and took counsel together, in order that they might trap Him in His words.
