Judas Goes to the Chief Priests
1 Now the Feast 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.
Luke 22:1-6
