Their delight indicates their eagerness to eliminate Jesus, who was seen as a threat to their authority and influence. This reaction fulfills the prophecy of <a href="/psalms/2.htm">Psalm 2:1-2</a>, where the rulers plot against the Lord and His Anointed. The delight also underscores the deep-seated animosity and spiritual blindness of the leaders, who failed to recognize Jesus as the Messiah.and they promised to give him money The promise of money to Judas Iscariot highlights the fulfillment of <a href="/zechariah/11-12.htm">Zechariah 11:12-13</a>, where thirty pieces of silver are mentioned as the price for the shepherd. This transaction reflects the leaders' willingness to use bribery to achieve their ends, a common practice in the corrupt systems of the time. The amount, thirty pieces of silver, was the price of a slave (<a href="/exodus/21-32.htm">Exodus 21:32</a>), symbolizing the undervaluation of Jesus' worth by both Judas and the religious leaders.So Judas began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus Judas Iscariot's decision to betray Jesus marks a pivotal moment in the Passion narrative. His actions are foreshadowed in <a href="/psalms/41-9.htm">Psalm 41:9</a>, where a close friend lifts his heel against the psalmist, a type of Christ. Judas's betrayal is not only a personal failure but also part of the divine plan for redemption, as Jesus Himself acknowledges in <a href="/john/13-18.htm">John 13:18</a>. The phrase indicates Judas's active role in seeking the right moment, reflecting his internal conflict and the influence of Satan, as noted in <a href="/luke/22-3.htm">Luke 22:3</a>.

And he sought (ἐζήτει) - he was seeking; he made it his business to arrange how the infamous plot might be managed - how he might conveniently deliver him unto them (πῶς εὐκαίρως αὐτὸν παραδῷ); literally, how at a convenient season he might betray him. And they,when they heard it, were glad; glad, because they saw the prospect of the accomplishment of their wishes; glad, because it was "one of the twelve" who covenanted to betray him. They promised to give him money. St. Matthew (<a href="/matthew/26-15.htm">Matthew 26:15</a>) tells us the amount, namely, thirty pieces of silver, according to the prophecy of Zechariah (<a href="/zechariah/11-12.htm">Zechariah 11:12</a>), to which St. Matthew evidently refers. These pieces of silver were shekels of the sanctuary, worth about three shillings each. This would make the whole amount about £4 10s. of our money; less than half the value of the precious ointment with which Mary had anointed him. Some commentators, however, think that this was only an instalment of what they promised him if he completed his treasonable design. How he might conveniently deliver him unto them. St. Luke (<a href="/luke/22-6.htm">Luke 22:6</a>) explains this by saying, "in the absence of the multitude;" that is, when the people were not about him, and when he was in private with his disciples. And so he betrayed him at night, when he was alone with his disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane. <a href="/commentaries/mark/14-11.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>They were delighted ἐχάρησαν (echarēsan) Verb - Aorist Indicative Passive - 3rd Person Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_5463.htm">Strong's 5463: </a> A primary verb; to be 'cheer'ful, i.e. Calmly happy or well-off; impersonally, especially as salutation, be well. to hear [this], ἀκούσαντες (akousantes) Verb - Aorist Participle Active - Nominative Masculine Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_191.htm">Strong's 191: </a> To hear, listen, comprehend by hearing; pass: is heard, reported.
