Luke 22:1-6
Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus
1
Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,
2
and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.
3
Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve.
4
And Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus.
5
They were delighted and agreed to give him money.
6
He consented, and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present.
