Mk 11:18b ... And they sought how him they might destroy, ...

The second sentence has these 5 narrator words ... kai ēzetoun pōs auton apolesōsin (And they sought how him they might destroy).

The 5 narrator words are bottom up. The words are 1480 size because the plural "ēzetoun" (they were seeking, they sought) is tangent to the chief priests and scribes which shows the focus of this sentence is on them. The 2 words "auton apolesōsin" (him they might destroy) is tangent to Jesus. The verb apolesōsin (they might destroy or kill) comes from the preposition apo (away from) and the noun olethros (destruction, death).
