Matthew 26:14-16

The Plan to Betray Jesus

26:14 Then one of the twelve, the one named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 26:15 and said, “What will you give me to betray him into your hands?” ¹  So they set out thirty silver coins for him. 26:16 From that time ²  on, Judas ³  began looking for an opportunity to betray him.

Matthew 26:47

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.

[26:15]  ¹ tn Grk “What will you give to me, and I will betray him to you?”

[26:16]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

[26:16]  ³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Judas) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[26:47]  ⁴ tn 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).
