1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching.
2 The chief priests and the experts in the law were trying to find some way to execute Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.
3 Then Satan entered Judas, the one called Iscariot, who was one of the twelve.
4 He went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers of the temple guard how he might betray Jesus, handing him over to them.
5 They were delighted and arranged to give him money.
6 So Judas agreed and began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus when no crowd was present.
7 Then the day for the feast of Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
