SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 22:1–6: Judas told the Jewish leaders that he would betray Jesus to them

The Jewish leaders wanted to get rid of Jesus in a private way so that the crowds would not oppose them. Before Passover began, they learned that Judas was willing to help them. Judas offered to lead them to Jesus at a time when the crowds were not with him so they could arrest him without causing trouble for themselves.

The first verse of this section mentions the terms “Feast of Unleavened Bread” and “Passover.” These terms are names for a festival that the Jews celebrated each year. At one time, these terms referred to two different festivals. The festival of Passover lasted one day, and on the next day, the Feast of Unleavened Bread began and was celebrated for seven days. However, in Jesus’ lifetime, the two festivals were often considered to be one eight-day festival. Either term could be used for both festivals. See the notes at 22:1a–b for more information. During the festival time the Jews remembered how God delivered their ancestors from slavery in Egypt. See the notes on the “Passover” in 22:1a–b and 22:7a–b for more details.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it. Other examples of headings for this section are:

The Plot to Kill Jesus (NRSV)

Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus (NLT)

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 26:1–5, Mark 14:1–2, and John 11:45–53.

22:2a–c

In this verse, the clause in 22:2c is the reason for 22:2a–b. In some language it may be more natural to reverse the order of clauses so that the reason comes before the resulting action. See the General Comment on 22:2a–c at the end of 22:2c for examples.

22:2a

and the chief priests and scribes

the chief priests and scribes: The terms chief priests and scribes refer to the Jewish religious leaders who were mentioned in 9:22, 19:47, 20:1, and 20:19. Translate the terms in the same way here. See the notes on chief priests and scribes at 19:47b–d for translation advice. See also priest and teacher of the law in the Glossary for more information.

22:2b

were looking for a way to put Jesus to death;

were looking for a way to put Jesus to death: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as were looking for a way to put Jesus to death is more literally “were seeking how they could destroy/kill him.” It implies that they wanted to cause Jesus to be arrested and executed. Other ways to translate this are:

were seeking how they might put Him to death (NASB)

were trying to find some way to execute Jesus (NET)

The next clause (22:2c) implies that they wanted to get rid of Jesus privately and secretly without causing trouble for themselves. The Jewish leaders could not execute Jesus, but they wanted to cause the Roman authorities to do that. In some languages it may be necessary to add this implied information here in 22:2b. For example:

were looking for a private way to cause Jesus to be executed

were trying to find a way of putting Jesus to death secretly (GNT)

wanted to discover how to cause the rulers to execute Jesus

It may be helpful to refer to the notes on the similar phrases “were intent on killing him” and “killing him” in 19:47b–d.

22:2c

for they feared the people.

for they feared the people: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as for introduces the reason that the Jewish leaders tried to find a private way to kill Jesus. They feared that the people who usually listened to him might fight for him if they knew that he was in danger.

In some languages it may be necessary to make the connection with 22:2a–b more explicit. For example:

They did not want to arrest him publicly, for they were afraid of what the people would do to them.

Here is a different way to make the connection explicit:

…they wanted to kill him without starting a riot, a possibility they greatly feared. (NLT96)

See the note on 20:19d for a similar example.

General Comment on 22:2a–c

In some languages it may be necessary to change the order of clauses in this verse and place the reason before the result. For example:

2aThe chief priests and the scribes 2cwere afraid of the people, 2band so they were trying to find a way of putting Jesus to death secretly. (GNT)

Because 2athe chief priests and the scribes 2cfeared the people would attack them if they arrested Jesus in public, 2bthey looked for a secret way to kill Jesus.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

καὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐζήτουν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καί οἱ γραμματεῖς τό πῶς ἀνέλωσιν αὐτόν ἐφοβοῦντο γάρ τόν λαόν)

Luke uses the word And to introduce further background information that will help readers understand what happens next in the story. Alternate translation: [Now]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ πῶς ἀνέλωσιν αὐτόν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐζήτουν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καί οἱ γραμματεῖς τό πῶς ἀνέλωσιν αὐτόν ἐφοβοῦντο γάρ τόν λαόν)

These leaders did not have the authority to kill Jesus themselves. Rather, they were hoping to get others to kill him. Alternate translation: [how they might cause Jesus to be put to death] or [how they could have Jesus killed]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐφοβοῦντο γὰρ τὸν λαόν

˱they˲_˓were˒_fearing (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐζήτουν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καί οἱ γραμματεῖς τό πῶς ἀνέλωσιν αὐτόν ἐφοβοῦντο γάρ τόν λαόν)

These leaders were not trying to have Jesus killed because they were afraid of the people. Rather, they were seeking how to have him killed, by implication quietly, because they were afraid that the people would make a great disturbance if they did this publicly. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [quietly, because they were afraid that the people would riot if they did it publicly]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν λαόν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐζήτουν οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καί οἱ γραμματεῖς τό πῶς ἀνέλωσιν αὐτόν ἐφοβοῦντο γάρ τόν λαόν)

This means specifically the great crowds of people who had been coming to hear Jesus teach, as Luke describes in [21:38](../21/38.md). Alternate translation: [the many people who were coming to hear him teach]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

22:1-6 The religious leaders who had been plotting against Jesus (see 19:47) found their opportunity when Judas Iscariot approached them with an offer to betray Jesus.
