In Luke 22:6, the accusative singular feminine form occurs in the clause about continuing to seek an opening to deliver him to them without a crowd. In Matthew 26:16, the same form stands in the parallel pursuit of an opening so that he might deliver him; the APB renders both clauses with “an opportunity.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the clause in both Luke 22:6 and Matthew 26:16 as seeking “an opportunity.” This wording confirms the clause-level presentation rather than isolating the term by itself.
