1 It was almost time for the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover Feast.
2 The leading priests and teachers of the law were trying to find a way to kill Jesus, because they were afraid of the people.
3 Satan entered Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ twelve apostles.
4 Judas went to the leading priests and some of the soldiers who guarded the Temple and talked to them about a way to hand Jesus over to them.
5 They were pleased and agreed to give Judas money.
