John Gill Commentary Luke 22:5

"And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money." — Luke 22:5 (ASV)

And they were glad For nothing could be more opportune and agreeable to them, than that one of his disciples should meet them at this juncture, and offer to put him into their hands in the most private manner;

and covenanted to give him money . The Ethiopic version reads, "thirty pieces of silver"; which was the sum they agreed to give him, and he accepted of; see (Matthew 26:15) .
