Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could search for every time that an attempt to take Jesus' life took place?

A quick suggestion is <Person Jesus>  NEAR death, plot, kill, condemn.  Ensure Match all word forms is selected in the Search menu.

There will be some false positives to sort out.

More elaborate search includes Blasphemy:

(<Person Pierced Servant> OR <Person Anointed Prince> OR <Person Jesus> OR <Person God>) INTERSECTS  ({Section <Culture Blasphemy>} OR {Section <PreachingTheme Jesus: Death>})

Keep Smiling [:)]

 A clause search for verb-sense:to kill patient:Jesus will give you lots of results.

But I don't think any search is going to return Luke 4:29, for example, so you'll never get perfect results.
