Luke 22:1-6

New American Standard Bible 1995

Preparing the Passover

22 ^(A)Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the ^(B)Passover, was approaching. ² The chief priests and the scribes ^(C)were seeking how they might put Him to death; for they were afraid of the people.

^3 (D)And ^(E)Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, ^[a]belonging to the number of the twelve. ⁴ And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and ^(F)officers how he might betray Him to them. ⁵ They were glad and agreed to give him money. ⁶ So he consented, and began seeking a good opportunity to betray Him to them ^[b]apart from the crowd.
