εὐκαιρίαν ἵνα αὐτὸν παραδῷ
/an/_opportunity in_order_that him ˱he˲_/may/_give_over
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of opportunity, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “when it might be easy to hand him over” or “an opportune moment in which to hand him over”
26:14-16 Judas sold himself to the authorities (see also John 11:57), concealed it (Matt 26:25), and then took them to Jesus at the appropriate time so they could carry out their plans (26:47-56; see John 18:2). Later, Judas was overcome by guilt and committed suicide (Matt 27:3-10; see Acts 1:15-22). Judas was apparently known for his greed (Matt 26:14-15; John 12:4-6; 13:29). It is also possible that he was motivated by disappointment over the nature of Jesus’ reign as Messiah, his own humiliation over the anointing of Jesus (see John 12:1-8), or resentment over the leadership of the Galilean apostles, Peter, James, and John. Whatever his motivation, Judas’s betrayal was a part of God’s sovereign plan (Acts 1:16-17).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
