The Key Word — συνέθεντο, suntithēmigenerated
The verb συντίθημι is a second aorist middle form meaning 'to agree' or 'to covenant.' It is built from the prefix συν-, meaning 'together,' and τίθημι, meaning 'to place.' This construction suggests a mutual agreement or consent, as seen in contexts like Acts 23:20.
The middle voice indicates that the subject is acting in their own interest, which in this case is Judas agreeing to the terms set by the chief priests. This word choice emphasizes the collaborative nature of the betrayal, highlighting that both parties are actively involved in reaching this agreement.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The primary wording in the Berean Standard Bible is reflected in several translations. The BSB states, agreed to give him money, which is echoed in the KJV and ASV with covenanted to give him money.
However, the BBE opts for undertook to give, indicating a slight variation in the interpretation of the agreement. The YLT maintains a similar structure to the BSB, while the WEB uses agreed to give, aligning closely with the BSB.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The verse contains two main verbs: ἐχάρησαν (they rejoiced) and συνέθεντο (they agreed), which govern the overall meaning of the sentence. The first verb expresses the leaders' joy, while the second indicates their agreement to pay Judas.
The structure can be broken down into two clauses, both of which are coordinated by the conjunction καὶ (and), linking the actions of rejoicing and agreeing. The object of their agreement is ἀργύριον (money), which is specified as the payment to Judas.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
ἀργύριον refers to money or silver coins in the New Testament and is often associated with specific monetary transactions. In the Septuagint, it translates the Hebrew word כֶּ֫סֶף (keseph), which means silver or money, as seen in various contexts throughout the Old Testament.
The use of συντίθημι does not have a direct equivalent in the Septuagint but aligns with the broader themes of agreements and covenants found in the Old Testament.

The early church on this verse — how the Fathers read it
Bede comments on this verse, discussing the implications of Judas's actions and the reactions of the chief priests.
And he went and spoke with the chief priests and magistrates about how he might betray him to them, and they were glad. His saying: He went and spoke, shows that he was invited by the chiefs, not constrained by any necessity,
Bede notes that Judas was not forced but willingly approached the leaders, highlighting the premeditated nature of the betrayal.
Early Church Fathers on Luke 22 →And they agreed to give him money. And he promised. And he sought an opportunity to betray him without a crowd. Many today shudder at the crime of Judas, who sold his Lord, Master, and God for money, as something monstrous and nefarious,
Bede reflects on the moral implications of Judas's choice to betray Jesus for money, emphasizing the gravity of his actions.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3-6) Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot.—See Notes on Matthew 26:14-16; Mark 14:10-11. St. Luke stands alone in the first three Gospels as thus describing the origin of the Traitor’s guilt. John 13:27 shows, however, that such a way of speaking had become common, though he places the “entrance” at a later stage. The use of the name Satan for the devil, as the author of the many forms of human evil, is, it need hardly be said, a prominent feature in St. Paul’s writings (1 Corinthians 7:5; 2 Corinthians 2:11; 2 Corinthians 12:7. et al.). Compare also St. Peter’s speech in Acts 5:3, where Satan appears as instigating the sin of Ananias and Sapphira.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

Counted over the 33 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.
καί, a conj., and; the most freq. by far of all the particles in the N. T. [On its uses see W. § 53, 3sqq.; B. 361 (310) sqq., and ef.

It serves as a copulative i.e. to connect (Lat. et, atque, Germ. und) ; 1. it connects single words or terms: a. univ., as of Φαρισαῖοι καὶ Σαδδουκαῖοι, Mt. xvi. 1; ὁ θεὸς καὶ πατήρ, he who is God and Father (see θεός, 3); ἐν καρδίᾳ καλῇ καὶ ἀγαθῇ, Lk. viii. 15; πολυμερῶς καὶ πολυτρόπως, ΗΘ}. 1. 1; it is repeated before single terms, to each of which its own force and weight is thus given: ἡ υἱοθεσία καὶ ἡ δόξα καὶ ai διαθῆκαι καὶ ἡ νομοθεσία καὶ ἡ λατρεία καὶ αἱ ἐπαγγελίαι, Ro. ix. 4 ; ἁγία καὶ δικαία καὶ ἀγαθή, Ro. vii. 12; add, Mt. xxiii. 23; Lk. xiv. 21; Jn. xvi. 8; Acts xv. 20, 29; xxi. 25; Heb. ix. 10; Rey. v. 12; xviii. 12 sq.; ef.

συντίθημι is built from the prefix συν- meaning 'together' and the root τίθημι meaning 'to place.' It covers a range of meanings related to agreement, consent, and putting things together, both literally and figuratively. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts of making agreements or covenants, such as in Luke 22:5 and Acts 23:20. The lexicons generally agree on its meanings, focusing on the aspects of agreement and construction.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

It is used by the bibl. writ. both of the O. T. and of the N.

In the marriage contract P Eleph 11 (Β.6. 311-10) (= Selections, p. 3) provision is made that in certain circumstances the bridegroom shall repay the bride ἀργυρίου ᾿Αλεξανδρείου (δραχμὰς) A, ‘1000 drachmas of Alexander’s coinage.” According to the editor, this is ‘‘perhaps the earliest documentary mention of Alexander’s coinage,” unless Syll 176 is about two years older. In P Amh II. 405 (ii/B.c.) mention is made of a bribe consisting of ἀργυρίου σταί(τῆρας) ἢ», ‘eight staters of silver,” by means of which a certain Epiodorus secured a fresh division of land in the interests of the temple: of Socnopaeus.

mun'-i: Various terms are used for money in the Bible, but the most common are the Hebrew keceph, and Greek argurion, both meaning silver. We find also qesiTah, rendered by Septuagint "lambs," probably referring to money in a particular form; chalkos, is used for money in Mt 10:9; Mr 6:8; 12:41. It was the name of a small coin of Agrippa II (Madden, Coins of the Jews); chrema, "price," is rendered money in Ac 4:37; 8:18,20; 24:26; kerma, "piece," i.e. piece of money (Joh 2:15); didrachmon, "tribute money" (Mt 17:24 the King James Version, the Revised Version (British and American) "half-shekel"); kensos, "census,"…
Money
Of uncoined money the first notice we have is in the history of Abraham (Gen. 13:2; 20:16; 24:35). Next, this word is used in connection with the purchase of the cave of Machpelah (23:16), and again in connection with Jacob’s purchase of a field at Shalem (Gen. 33:18, 19) for “an hundred pieces of money”=an hundred Hebrew kesitahs (q.v.), i.e., probably pieces of money, as is supposed, bearing the figure of a lamb.
The history of Joseph affords evidence of the constant use of money, silver of a fixed weight. This appears also in all the subsequent history of the Jewish people, in all their internal as well as foreign transactions. There were in common use in trade silver pieces of a definite weight, shekels, half-shekels, and quarter-shekels. But these were not properly…
Uncointed money. --It is well known that ancient nations that were without a coinage weighed the precious metals, a practice represented on the Egyptian monuments, on which gold and silver are shown to have been kept in the form of rings. We have no evidence of the use of coined money before the return from the Babylonian captivity; but silver was used for money, in quantities determined by weight, at least as early as the time of Abraham; and its earliest mention is in the generic sense of the price paid for a slave. (Genesis 17:13) The 1000 pieces of silver paid by Abimelech to Abraham, (Genesis 20:16) and the 20 pieces of silver for which Joseph was sold to the Ishmaelites, (Genesis 37:28) were probably rings such as we…
Was anciently weighed, and did not at first exist in the form of coins. The most ancient commerce was conducted by barter, or exchanging one sort of merchandise for another. One man gave what he could spare to another, who gave him in return part of his superabundance. Afterwards, the more precious metals were used in traffic, as a value more generally known and stated, and the amount agreed upon was paid over by weight, Ge 23:16 43:21 Ex 30:24. Lastly they gave this metal, a certain weight, and a certain degree of alloy, to fix its value, and to save buyers and sellers the trouble of weighing and examining the coins. The first regular coinage among the Jews is supposed to have been in the time of Simon Maccabaeus, less than a century and a half before Christ. The coins were the…
