Robertson: Mar 14:11 - And they, when they heard it, were glad

And they, when they heard it, were glad ( hoi de akousantes echarēsan ).

No doubt the rabbis looked on the treachery of Judas as a veritable dispensation of Providence amply justifying their plots against Jesus.

Robertson: Mar 14:11 - Conveniently

Conveniently ( eukairōs ).

This was the whole point of the offer of Judas. He claimed that he knew enough of the habits of Jesus to enable them to catch him "in the absence of the multitude"(Luk 22:6) without waiting for the passover to be over, when the crowds would leave. For discussion of the motives of Judas, see note on Mat 26:15. Mark merely notes the promise of "money"while Matthew mentions "thirty pieces of silver"(Zec 11:12), the price of a slave.

Vincent: Mar 14:11 - Money

See on Mat 26:15.

Vincent: Mar 14:11 - He sought

JFB: Mar 14:11 - And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money

Matthew alone records the precise sum, because a remarkable and complicated prophecy, which he was afterwards to refer to, was fulfilled by it.

JFB: Mar 14:11 - And he sought how he might conveniently betray him

Or, as more fully given in Luke (Luk 22:6), "And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray Him unto them in the absence of the multitude." That he should avoid an "uproar" or "riot" among the people, which probably was made an essential condition by the Jewish authorities, was thus assented to by the traitor; into whom, says Luke (Luk 22:3), "Satan entered," to put him upon this hellish deed.

Clarke: Mar 14:11 - They were glad

They were glad - The joy that arises from the opportunity of murdering an innocent person must be completely infernal.

Gill: Mar 14:11 - And when they heard it, they were glad // and promised to give him money // And he sought how he might conveniently betray him

And when they heard it, they were glad,.... That such an opportunity offered, and from such a quarter, by one of his own disciples; so that it might be done more secretly and effectually, and with less blame to themselves:

and promised to give him money; any sum he should ask; and what was agreed upon were thirty pieces, or shekels of silver; and so the Ethiopic version here, instead of money, reads, "thirty pieces of silver"; See Gill on Mat 26:15.

And he sought how he might conveniently betray him; after this promise, and upon this agreement: henceforward he sought the most fitting opportunity, and the best season of betraying his master into the hands of these men, when he was alone, and the multitude absent, and there was no danger of a tumult, or a rescue; See Gill on Mat 26:16.
