Die Passion
Judas negotiates to betray Jesus
Judas Iscariot goes to the chief priests and offers to hand Jesus over to them for thirty silver coins, then looks for an opportunity to do so. Matthew 26:14-16
Matthäus 26,14-16
14Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
Τότε πορευθεὶς εἷς τῶν δώδεκα, ὁ λεγόμενος Ἰούδας Ἰσκαριώτης, πρὸς τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς
15and said, "What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?" They paid him thirty pieces of silver.
εἶπεν· Τί θέλετέ μοι δοῦναι κἀγὼ ὑμῖν παραδώσω αὐτόν; οἱ δὲ ἔστησαν αὐτῷ τριάκοντα ἀργύρια.
16And from then on he watched for an opportunity to betray him.
καὶ ἀπὸ τότε ἐζήτει εὐκαιρίαν ἵνα αὐτὸν παραδῷ.
