Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
ἐζήτουν πῶς αὐτὸν ἀπολέσωσιν; ἐφοβοῦντο γὰρ αὐτόν, πᾶς γὰρ ὁ ὄχλος ἐξεπλήσσετο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ
˱they˲_/were/_seeking how him ˱they˲_/may/_destroy ˱they˲_/were/_fearing for him all for the crowd /was_being/_astonished at the teaching ˱of˲_him
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the last clause gives the reason for the result that the second clause describes, which in turn gives the reason for the result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: [because all the crowd were being amazed at this teaching, they were fearing him, and so they were seeking how they might destroy him]
ἐζήτουν πῶς
˱they˲_/were/_seeking how
Alternate translation: [they were looking for a way by which]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
πᾶς & ὁ ὄχλος ἐξεπλήσσετο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ
all & the crowd /was_being/_astonished at the teaching ˱of˲_him
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was what Jesus taught. Alternate translation: [his teaching was astonishing all the crowd]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
πᾶς & ὁ ὄχλος
all & the crowd
Mark says all here as an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [most people in the crowd] or [most of the crowd]
11:18 The leading priests and teachers of religious law plotted to kill Jesus because they feared him. His great influence among the people, the amazement created by his actions, and the influence of his teaching threatened their position (see 3:6; 12:12; 14:1-2, 10-11). Their response shows that reform was not enough: God’s judgment was necessary.
OET (OET-LV) And the chief_priests and the scribes heard it, and they_were_seeking how they_may_destroy him, because/for they_were_fearing him, because/for all the crowd was_being_astonished at the teaching of_him.
OET (OET-RV) When the chief priests and the religious teachers heard this, they started looking for a way that they could destroy him, because they were afraid of him and the way that the crowd marvelled at this teaching.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
