Context of Luke 22:1

Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching. 2The chief priests and the scribes were looking for a way to put Him to death; for they were afraid of the people [who listened devotedly to His teaching, and who respected His spiritual wisdom]. 3Then Satan entered Judas, the one called Iscariot, who was one of the twelve [disciples].
