Mark 14:11

14:11 When they heard this, they were delighted ¹  and promised to give him money. ²  So ³  Judas ⁴  began looking for an opportunity to betray him.

Mark 14:18

14:18 While they were at the table ⁵  eating, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, ⁶  one of you eating with me will betray me.” ⁷ 

Mark 14:21

14:21 For the Son of Man will go as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had never been born.”

Mark 14:41

14:41 He came a third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? ⁸  Enough of that! ⁹  The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

[14:11]  ¹ sn The leaders were delighted when Judas contacted them about betraying Jesus, because it gave them the opportunity they had been looking for, and they could later claim that Jesus had been betrayed by one of his own disciples.

[14:11]  ² sn Matt 26:15 states the amount of money they gave Judas was thirty pieces of silver (see also Matt 27:3-4; Zech 11:12-13).

[14:11]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of previous action(s) in the narrative.

[14:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Judas) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:18]  ⁵ tn Grk “while they were reclined at the table.”

[14:18]  ⁶ tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

[14:18]  ⁷ tn Or “will hand me over”; Grk “one of you will betray me, the one who eats with me.”

[14:41]  ⁹ tn Or “Sleep on, and get your rest.” This sentence can be taken either as a question or a sarcastic command.

[14:41]  ¹⁰ tc Codex D (with some support with minor variation from W Θ Ë¹³ 565 2542 pc it) reads, “Enough of that! It is the end and the hour has come.” Evidently, this addition highlights Jesus’ assertion that what he had predicted about his own death was now coming true (cf. Luke 22:37). Even though the addition highlights the accuracy of Jesus’ prediction, it should not be regarded as part of the text of Mark, since it receives little support from the rest of the witnesses and because D especially is prone to expand the wording of a text.
