- The leading priests and teachers of religious law were plotting how to kill Jesus, but they were afraid of the people’s reaction.
- Then Satan entered into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve disciples.
- He went to the leading priests and captains of the Temple guard to discuss the best way to betray Jesus to them.
- They were delighted, and they promised to give him money.
- So he agreed and began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus so they could arrest him when the crowds weren’t around.
