Luke 22:2-6 ▼

2 So the high priests and the scribes were looking for a way to put him to death, because they were afraid of the crowd.

3 But Satan went into Judas called Iscariot, who belonged to the circle of the Twelve.

4 So he went off and discussed with the high priests and the Temple police how he could betray Jesus to them.

5 They were delighted, and agreed to give him money.

6 Judas accepted their offer and began to look for a good opportunity to betray Jesus to them when no crowd was present.
