SOTN 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.

22:1a–b

Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread…was approaching: This clause is background information for the events that will happen in this section. It indicates that people would soon celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread. In Greek the clause is introduced by a common conjunction that the BSB translates as Now. This conjunction does not function as a time word here, and many English versions do not translate it.

Translate the background information in a natural way in your language. Some other ways to translate it in English are:

As the Feast of Unleavened Bread came near

It was almost time for the feast of unleavened bread

At that time, it was not long before the Feast of Unleavened Bread would happen

the Feast of Unleavened Bread: The phrase the Feast of Unleavened Bread refers to a festival that the Jewish people celebrated each year for seven days. During those days they did not eat any bread made with yeast.

The purpose of the festival was to remind them of the time when God had delivered their ancestors from slavery in Egypt. At that time they ate unleavened bread because they needed to eat quickly before they left on their journey out of Egypt. They did not have time to wait for their bread dough to rise before they baked it.

Feast: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Feast means “festival, celebration.” It refers to a special time when people celebrate and follow special customs or rituals. During the festival of Unleavened Bread, people ate a special meal, so some versions, such as the NIV, translate the word as “feast.” Use a natural way in your language to refer to it.

Unleavened Bread: The phrase Unleavened Bread refers to bread cooked without yeast. This bread was thin and flat because it contained nothing to “leaven” it (make it rise). In some areas people do not use yeast and there is no word for it. If this is true in your language, you may be able to use a descriptive phrase for this type of bread. For example:

Thin Bread (CEV)

bread without the thing that makes it rise/swell

bread that people make without any rising/swelling substance

called the Passover: The word Passover refers to a festival that the Jews celebrated each year on the day before the Feast of Unleavened Bread began. The word Passover was often used to refer to the whole eight days that included the day of Passover and the seven days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. People ate only unleavened bread on the day of Passover, as well as during the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

In some languages it may be helpful to translate the phrase called the Passover as a separate sentence. For example:

This was the feast that people also call the Passover.

You may want to include a footnote and cross reference about the feasts/festivals of Unleavened Bread and Passover. For example:

During the time period that Luke wrote about, the festivals of Unleavened Bread and Passover were often considered to be one festival. These festivals reminded the Jews of the time when God freed their ancestors from slavery in Egypt. See Exodus 12:1–27.

Passover: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Passover means “pass by” or “pass over.”The Greek word is actually a transliteration of an Aramaic word that means “to pass by” or “to pass over.” During the Passover festival the people of Israel remember how the angel of the Lord “passed over” the houses of their ancestors. (This account is found in Exodus 12:1–27.) The term “pass over” implies that he showed mercy to them and did not kill them.

However, the angel killed the firstborn sons of the Egyptians. He did this to force the Egyptian king to free the Jews from slavery and allow them to leave Egypt. The angel passed over the Jewish houses because they did what the Lord told them to do. Each family sacrificed a lamb and put some of its blood over their doors. When the angel saw the blood, he passed by their houses without harming them.

Some ways to translate Passover are:

Translate the meaning of the phrase “pass over.” For example:
“Death passed us by” Festival
“Death did not harm us” Feast
Passed-by/Mercy Feast
Focus on the result of the angel “passing over”: the Jews were delivered from slavery and became free. For example:
the Festival of Freedom
Deliverance Day/Feast

The term Passover also occurred in 2:41. See how you translated it there.

Jesus’ Arrest, Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial

Matthew 26-27; Mark 14-15; Luke 22-23; John 13-19

On the Thursday before he was crucified, Jesus had arranged to share the Passover meal with his disciples in an upper room, traditionally thought to be located in the Essene Quarter of Jerusalem. After they finished the meal, they went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples. There Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ own disciples, betrayed him to soldiers sent from the High Priest, and they took Jesus to the High Priest’s residence. In the morning the leading priests and teachers of the law put Jesus on trial and found him guilty of blasphemy. The council sent Jesus to stand trial for treason before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who resided at the Praetorium while in Jerusalem. The Praetorium was likely located at the former residence of Herod the Great, who had died over 30 years earlier. When Pilate learned that Jesus was from Galilee, he sent him to Herod Antipas, who had jurisdiction over Galilee. But when Jesus gave no answer to Herod’s many questions, Herod and his soldiers sent him back to Pilate, who conceded to the people’s demands that Jesus be crucified. Jesus was forced to carry his cross out of the city gate to Golgotha, meaning Skull Hill, referring to what may have been a small unquarried hill in the middle of an old quarry just outside the gate. After Jesus was unable to carry his cross any further, a man named Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry it for him. There at Golgotha they crucified Jesus. After Jesus died, his body was hurriedly taken down before nightfall and placed in a newly cut, rock tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish high council. This tomb was likely located at the perimeter of the old quarry.
