‏ John 11:57

 The chief priests and the Pharisees ( ο αρχιερεις κα ο Φαρισαιο ). The Sanhedrin.

 Had given commandment ( δεδωκεισαν εντολας ). Past perfect active of  διδωμ.

 That he should shew it ( ινα μηνυση ). Sub-final  ινα with first aorist active subjunctive of  μηνυω, old verb to disclose, to report formally (Ac 23:30).

 If any man knew ( εαν τις γνω ). Third-class condition with  εαν and second aorist active subjunctive of  γινωσκω.

 Where he was ( που εστιν ). Indirect question with interrogative adverb and present indicative  εστιν retained like  γνω and  μηνυση after the secondary tense  δεδωκεισαν.

 That they might take him ( οπως πιασωσιν αυτον ). Purpose clause with  οπως instead of  ινα and first aorist active subjunctive of  πιαζω so often used before (7:44, etc.).
