The Plot to Kill Jesus(A)

22 Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was near. So the high priests and the scribes were looking for a way to put him to death, because they were afraid of the crowd.

But Satan went into Judas called Iscariot, who belonged to the circle[a] of the Twelve. So he went off and discussed with the high priests and the Temple police how he could betray Jesus[b] to them. They were delighted, and agreed to give him money. Judas[c] accepted their offer and began to look for a good opportunity to betray Jesus[d] to them when no crowd was present.
