Judas to Betray Jesus

3 ⁴Then ⁵Satan entered into ⁶Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve.

4 He went away and conferred with the chief priests and ⁷officers how he might betray him to them.

5 And they were glad, and agreed to give him money.

6 So he consented and sought an opportunity to ⁸betray him to them in the absence of a crowd.
