Luke 22:1-6

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

The Plot to Kill Jesus

22 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was near.^{(A) 2} The chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus^[a] to death, for they were afraid of the people.^(B)

³ Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was one of the twelve;^{(C) 4} he went away and conferred with the chief priests and officers of the temple police about how he might betray him to them. ⁵ They were greatly pleased and agreed to give him money.^{(D) 6} So he consented and began to look for an opportunity to betray him to them when no crowd was present.
