SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:6

Y prometi�, y buscaba oportunidad para entregarle a ellos a espaldas del pueblo.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 22:6

Verse 6. And he promised] That is, to do it-exwmologhse: or, He accepted the proposal. See Wakefield.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 6. And he promised , etc.] He undertook to deliver him into their hands; he laid himself under obligation to do it; he faithfully promised he would. The Arabic version renders it, he gave thanks; for the money he received, being well pleased he had made such a bargain; and so the word here used sometimes signifies; and indeed commonly either to confess; or to give thanks, in which latter sense it is used, in ( Matthew 11:25) but here rather it is to be understood in the sense of promising: and sought opportunity ; the two days following before the passover: to betray him unto them in the absence of the people : when they were gone from him, and he was alone; but found no opportunity of doing it this way, which they had agreed upon with him, and he had promised, until the night of the passover, when he was alone in the garden with his disciples.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-6 - Christ knew all men, and had wise and holy ends in taking Judas to be disciple. How he who knew Christ so well, came to betray him, we ar here told; Satan entered into Judas. It is hard to say whether mor mischief is done to Christ's kingdom, by the power of its open enemies or by the treachery of its pretended friends; but without the latter its enemies could not do so much evil as they do.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

6. Promised (exwmologhsen). See on Matt. iii. 6; xi. 25. The idea is that of an open and fair consent or pledge.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

22:6 {Consented} (exwmologesen). Old verb, but the ancients usually used the simple form for promise or consent rather than the compound. this is the only instance of this sense in the N.T. It is from homologos (homos, same, and legw, to say), to say the same thing with another and so agree. {Opportunity} (eukarian). From eukairos (eu, kairos), a good chance. Old word, but in the N.T. only here and parallel passage #Mt 26:16. {In the absence of the multitude} (ater oclou). ater is an old preposition, common in the poets, but rare in prose. Also in verse #35. It means "without,"apart from," like cwris. The point of Judas was just this . He would get Jesus into the hands of the Sanhedrin during the feast in spite of the crowd. It was necessary to avoid tumult (#Mt 26:5) because of the popularity of Jesus.
