Judas Agrees to Betray Jesus^(A)

¹⁴ Then one of the Twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the high priests ¹⁵ and inquired, “What are you willing to give me if I betray Jesus^[a] to you?” They offered him 30 pieces of silver, ¹⁶ and from then on he began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus.^[b]

³ But Satan went into Judas called Iscariot, who belonged to the circle^[a] of the Twelve. ⁴ So he went off and discussed with the high priests and the Temple police how he could betray Jesus^[b] to them. ⁵ They were delighted, and agreed to give him money. ⁶ Judas^[c] accepted their offer and began to look for a good opportunity to betray Jesus^[d] to them when no crowd was present.
