3 Then Satan entered into Judas, the one surnamed Iscariot, who was counted among the Twelve,
4 and he went to the chief priests and temple guards to discuss a plan for handing him over to them.
5 They were pleased and agreed to pay him money.
6 He accepted their offer and sought a favorable opportunity to hand him over to them in the absence of a crowd.
7 When the day of the feast of Unleavened Bread arrived, the day for sacrificing the Passover lamb,
8 he sent out Peter and John, instructing them, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”
