Now

This word is used here to mark a shift in the story line as the author continues telling us about Jesus being put on trial.

they might put him to death

They were not the ones who would execute Jesus; rather, they would order someone else to do it. Alternate translation: "they might have Jesus executed" or "they might have someone execute Jesus" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)

But they did not find any

They did not find testimony against Jesus with which they could convict him and have him put to death. Alternate translation: "But they did not find any testimony with which to convict him" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
