¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, Judas Iscariot by name, went to the chief priests, ¹⁵ and said, what will ye give me, and I will deliver him to you? and they promised him thirty pieces of silver. ¹⁶ from which time he watched a favourable opportunity to deliver him.

¹⁰ Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests, in order to betray him to them. ¹¹ they were glad to hear him, and promis'd to give him money. upon which he contriv'd the most favourable occasion to betray him.

³ now satan had inspired Judas surnam'd Iscariot, one of the twelve, what to do. ⁴ accordingly he went and conferr'd with the chief priests and officers of the temple, about the method of seizing him. ⁵ they were pleas'd with his proposal, and agreed to give him a certain sum. ⁶ Judas accepted the bargain, and sought an opportunity to secure him, without alarming the people.
