Context of Luke 22:5

3Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, who was numbered among the Twelve. 4He went away and discussed with the chief priests and temple police how he could hand him over to them. They were glad and agreed to give him silver. 6So he accepted the offer and started looking for a good opportunity to betray him to them when the crowd was not present. 7Then the Day of Unleavened Bread came when the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
