Luke 22:1-6

Evangelical Heritage Version

The Plot to Kill Jesus

22 The Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching. ² The chief priests and the experts in the law were trying to find some way to put Jesus to death, because they were afraid of the people. ³ Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve. ⁴ He went away and spoke with the chief priests and officers of the temple guard about how he could betray Jesus to them. ⁵ They were glad and agreed to give him money. ⁶ He promised to do it and was looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them away from the crowd.
