SCRIPTURE

"And Judas Iscariot, he that was one of the twelve, went away unto the chief priests, that he might deliver him unto them. And they, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently deliver him [unto them]." — Mark 14:10-11 (ASV)

And Judas Iscariot.—See Notes on Matthew 26:14-15.

They were glad, and promised to give him money.—It may be noted:

  1. that the mention of the priests being “glad” is in common with St. Luke, and
  2. that St. Mark does not name the specific sum which was promised as the price of blood.
