SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:11

Y ellos oy�ndolo se alegraron, y prometieron que le darían dinero. Y buscaba oportunidad de c�mo le entregaría.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Mark 14:11

Verse 11. They were glad] The joy that arises from the opportunity of murdering an innocent person must be completely infernal.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 11. And when they heard it, they were glad , etc..] 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 � Matthew 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 � Matthew 26:16�).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-11 - Did Christ pour out his soul unto death for us, and shall we think an thing too precious for him? Do we give him the precious ointment of ou best affections? Let us love him with all the heart, though it is common for zeal and affection to be misunderstood and blamed; an remember that charity to the poor will not excuse any from particula acts of piety to the Lord Jesus. Christ commended this woman's piou attention to the notice of believers in all ages. Those who honou Christ he will honour. Covetousness was Judas' master lust, and tha betrayed him to the sin of betraying his Master; the devil suited his temptation to that, and so conquered him. And see what wicke contrivances many have in their sinful pursuits; but what appears to forward their plans, will prove curses in the end.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

11. Money. See on Matt. xxvi. 15. He sought (ezhtei). Imperfect tense. He kept seeking: busied himself continuously from that time.

Conveniently (eukairwv). Might find a good opportunity (kairov).

Robertson's NT Word Studies

14:11 {And they, when they heard it, were glad} (hoi de akousantes ecaresan). No doubt the rabbis looked on the treachery of Judas as a veritable dispensation of Providence amply justifying their plots against Jesus. {Conveniently} (eukairws). 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" (#Lu 22:6) without waiting for the passover to be over, when the crowds would leave. For discussion of the motives of Judas, see on �Mt 26:15. Mark merely notes the promise of "money" while Matthew mentions "thirty pieces of silver" (#Zec 11:12), the price of a slave.
