A.T. Robertson Commentary
"And he went away, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might deliver him unto them." — Luke 22:4 (ASV)
Went away (απελθων). Second aorist active participle of απερχομα. He went off under the impulse of Satan and after the indignation over the rebuke of Jesus at the feast in Simon's house (John 12:4–6).
Captains (στρατηγοις). Leaders of the temple guards (Acts 4:1), the full title, "captains of the temple," occurs in verse 52.
How he might deliver him unto them (το πως αυτοις παραδω αυτον). The same construction as in verse 2, the article το with the indirect question and deliberative subjunctive second aorist active (παραδω).
