1 It was almost time for the Jewish Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover.
2 The leading priests and teachers of the law wanted to kill Jesus. But they were trying to find a quiet way to do it, because they were afraid of what the people would do.
3 One of Jesus’ twelve apostles was named Judas Iscariot. Satan entered him,
4 and he went and talked with the leading priests and some of the soldiers who guarded the Temple. He talked to them about a way to hand Jesus over to them.
