Context26:14 Then one of the twelve, the one named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 26:15 and said, “What will you give me to betray him into your hands?” 1 So they set out thirty silver coins for him. 26:16 From that time 2 on, Judas 3 began looking for an opportunity to betray him.
Matthew 26:47-50
Context26:47 While he was still speaking, Judas, 4 one of the twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and elders of the people. 26:48 (Now the betrayer 5 had given them a sign, saying, “The one I kiss is the man. 6 Arrest him!”) 7 26:49 Immediately 8 he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi,” and kissed him. 9 26:50 Jesus 10 said to him, “Friend, do what you are here to do.” Then they came and took hold 11 of Jesus and arrested him.

5 tn Grk “the one who betrays him.”
6 tn Grk “The one I kiss is he.”

10 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
