What Does Mark 14:10 Mean in the King James?
And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.
The analysis reads the King James wording.
King James Version The King James Version, first published in 1611. Selah Verse shows the standard text.
THE KEY
The Greek verb behind “betray” means “hand over”: the word names the transfer, while Judas’s chosen recipients make it treachery.
THE MEANING
The verse speaks into the present: closeness to a trusted circle does not remove the capacity to hand someone over. Judas, one of the twelve, goes to the chief priests with Jesus as the person he will transfer into their hands.
WHAT THIS UNDOES
Belonging among the twelve guarantees loyalty.
THE ROOT
παραδοῦναι
paradounai
GROWS FROM
δίδωμι
didōmi
To give or place something into another’s hands; with παρά (para), the compound παραδίδωμι means to hand over or deliver.
English “betray” foregrounds the breach of trust; the Greek also makes the transfer visible: Jesus is handed over to the chief priests. The same give-root can describe a gift, a sharing, or a handover, while the recipient and purpose reveal what the act means here.
ALSO GROWS
didōmi: To give or grant.
δίδωμι
This is the verb’s underlying seed: Judas gives Jesus over to another party.
dosis: Giving; a gift.
δόσις
The same give-family can name a gift, showing that the root describes transfer while the context reveals its character.
paradosis: A handing down; a tradition.
παράδοσις
This related word pictures what is passed from one hand to another, echoing the handover at the center of the verse.
THE PATTERN
To hand someone over is a transfer whose meaning is disclosed by its recipient and purpose.
But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?THE THREAD
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?Romans uses the same Greek verb for the Son being handed over “for us all.” The verb names the transfer in both verses; Judas’s purpose and the purpose stated in Romans make the difference visible.
