Luke 22:1-6

Judas Agrees to Hand Jesus Over

1 The Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was near.

2 The chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for a way to get rid of Jesus. They were afraid of the people.

3 Then Satan entered Judas, who was called Iscariot. Judas was one of the Twelve.

4 He went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard. He talked with them about how he could hand Jesus over to them.

5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.

6 Judas accepted their offer. He watched for the right time to hand Jesus over to them. He wanted to do it when no crowd was around.
