This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Consented (exōmologēsen). 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 legō, 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 Mat 26:16.
In the absence of the multitude (ater ochlou). Ater is an old preposition, common in the poets, but rare in prose. Also in Luk 22:35. It means “without,” “apart from,” like chōris. 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 (Mat 26:5) because of the popularity of Jesus.
