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.

22:4a

And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests

Then Judas went to the leaders of the priests
He went to talk with the leading priests

22:4a–c

And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests…how he might betray Jesus to them: This verse tells what Judas did when Satan entered him. Judas wentThe Greek word that the BSB translates as “went” is more literally “went out/away.” However, this context does not specify any place that Judas went out of. Many languages will have to specify that he went “to” the priests and officers. It is fine to translate it simply with “went.” to the chief priests to talk with them about betraying Jesus to them. Express the connection with 22:3 in a natural way in your language. In some languages a conjunction is not needed.

Some other ways to translate the clause are:

So Judas went off and spoke with the chief priests…about how he could betray Jesus to them. (GNT)

Judas went to the chief priests…and discussed with them how he could betray Jesus. (GW)

And he went to the leading priests…to discuss the best way to betray Jesus to them. (NLT)

chief priests: The term chief priests occurred in 22:2a and 19:47b–d. See the note there for more information.

22:4b

and temple officers

and the captains of the temple guards
and the leaders among the Levites who kept order in the temple area.

temple officers: The Greek word that the BSB translates as temple officers is more literally “captains” or “officers.” It refers here to officers who were responsible for keeping order in the temple area. These officers were Jews from the tribe of Levi. They supervised the other Levites who guarded the temple and the area around it. Here is another way to translate this:

captains of the Temple guard (NLT96)

22:4c

how he might betray Jesus to them.

and discussed with them how he could deliver Jesus into their power/hands.
He talked with them about how he could help them to arrest Jesus.

how he might betray Jesus to them: Judas talked with the chief priests and the officers about how and when he could betray Jesus so that they could arrest him secretly. Some other ways to translate this are:

to arrange-with them how he would hand-over Jesus to themKankanaey back translation on TW.

to tell them that he was willing to betray Jesus to them and discuss how to do that

betray: The Greek word that the BSB translates as betray refers to putting someone into the power of his enemies. In this account, Judas planned to betray Jesus by showing the Jewish leaders where to find him and pointing him out to them. The account of the betrayal is in 22:47–48. The word betray does not imply that Jesus had done something bad that the betrayer would expose. Jesus was an innocent person.

Use a natural way in your language to refer to betrayal. Do not imply that Judas would use spiritual power to cause Jesus’ enemies to gain control of him.

Another form of this word is translated as “delivered over” in 18:32a. See the note there for more information.

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.
