SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 14:10–11: Judas told the chief priests that he would betray Jesus to them

This section continues the story from 14:1–2 about how the Jewish leaders wanted to arrest Jesus. In this section, one of Jesus’ own disciples, Judas, agreed to betray Jesus and help the leaders arrest him.

Section 14:1–2 and Section 14:10–11 are similar in the theme of plotting to kill Jesus and in vocabulary. The chief priests and scribes were seeking to arrest Jesus in a sly and secret way. In the same way, Judas was seeking an opportunity to hand him over when not many people were around.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Judas agreed to betray Jesus to his enemies

Judas’ agreement to betray Jesus

Judas Iscariot went and arranged to give Jesus to those who wanted to arrest him

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 26:14–16 and Luke 22:3–6.

14:11a

They were delighted to hear this,

They were delighted to hear Judas’s offer to betray Jesus,
What he told them made them very happy.
When they heard what he said, they were very pleased.

They were delighted to hear this: In some languages it may be necessary to say explicitly why the Jewish leaders were delighted. For example:

They were delighted to hear that he was willing to betray Jesus

In Greek the phrase that the BSB translates as to hear this comes at the beginning of the verse. In some languages it may be more natural to follow this order. For example:

Having heard his words, they were delighted

When they heard what he had to say, they rejoiced

14:11b

and they promised to give him money.

and they promised that when he did that, they would give him money.
They assured/promised Judas that they would pay him for his help in arresting Jesus.

and they promised to give him money: The Jewish leaders told Judas that they would give him money if he betrayed Jesus. In this context their statement implies that they would give him the money if/when he was successful in helping them arrest Jesus. You may need to make some of this information explicit. For example:

They told him that if he enabled them to arrest Jesus, they would give him money.

They promised that they would give him money for doing that.

14:11c

So Judas began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus.

So Judas went away and began to look for a good way to give/betray Jesus to them.
Then Judas agreed, and as a result, he began to look for a chance to hand Jesus over to them.

So: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as So here is the simple connector that is often translated as “and.” It introduces what happened as a result of the events in the previous verse part. Express this connection in a natural way in your language.

Judas began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus: The phrase began to look for an opportunity indicates that Judas began to look for the right time and manner to betray Jesus as he had agreed to do. In some languages there may be an idiom to express this idea.

to betray Jesus: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as betray is the same verb that is translated as “betray” in 14:10b. Consider whether in your language it would be more natural to use the same word here.
