Matthew 26:47

Context

Betrayal and Arrest

26:47 While he was still speaking, Judas,⁴ one of the twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and elders of the people.

[21:23] ¹tn Grk “he.”

[21:23] ²tn Grk “the temple.”

[21:23] ³tn On this phrase, see BDAG 844 s.v. ποῖος 2.a.γ.1

[26:47] ⁴tn Grk “behold, Judas.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).
