³ Then Satan^(A) entered Judas, called Iscariot,^(B) one of the Twelve. ⁴ And Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard^(C) and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus. ⁵ They were delighted and agreed to give him money.^{(D) 6} He consented, and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present.

² The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.^(A)

²⁷ As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him.^(A)

So Jesus told him, “What you are about to do, do quickly.”

³⁰ As soon as Judas had taken the bread, he went out. And it was night.^(A)
