Luke 22:1-6

Modern English Version

The Plot to Kill Jesus^(A)

22 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, drew near. ² And the chief priests and scribes were seeking how to kill Jesus, for they feared the people. ³ Then Satan entered into Judas, called Iscariot, who was one of the twelve. ⁴ He went and discussed with the chief priests and captains how he might betray Him to them. ⁵ They were glad and agreed to give him money. ⁶ He fully consented and searched for an opportunity to betray Him to them apart from the crowds.
