Mark 14:10

The Plan to Betray Jesus

14:10 Then 1  Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus into their hands. 2 

Mark 14:20

14:20 He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, one who dips his hand 3  with me into the bowl. 4 

1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

2 tn Grk “betray him to them”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 tn Grk “one who dips with me.” The phrase “his hand” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

4 sn One who dips with me in the bowl. The point of Jesus’ comment here is not to identify the specific individual per se, but to indicate that it is one who was close to him – somebody whom no one would suspect. His comment serves to heighten the treachery of Judas’ betrayal.
