Luke 22:1-7

1 The time was near for the Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover. ¹

2 The chief priests and the teachers of the Law were afraid of the people, and so they were trying to find a way of putting Jesus to death secretly.

3 Then Satan entered into Judas, called Iscariot, who was one of the twelve disciples.

4 So Judas went off and spoke with the chief priests and the officers of the Temple guard about how he could betray Jesus to them.

5 They were pleased and offered to pay him money.

6 Judas agreed to it and started looking for a good chance to hand Jesus over to them without the people knowing about it.

7 The day came during the Festival of Unleavened Bread when the lambs for the Passover meal were to be killed.
