From BibleWiki
54: ενεδρευοντες αυτον και ζητουντες θηρευσαι τι εκ του στοματος αυτου ινα κατηγορησωσιν αυτου

mouth, that they might accuse him.
54: Lying in wait for him and seeking to catch something from his
mouth, that they might accuse him.
Laying wait for him. Or, rather, laying snares for him. It means
that they endeavoured to entangle him in his talk; that they did as
men do who catch birds -- who lay snares, and deceive them, and take
them unawares.
That they might accuse him. Before the Sanhedrim, or great council of the nation, and thus secure his being put to death.
