Context of Luke 22:5

3Then Satan began to live inside Judas Iscariot. Judas was one of Jesus' 12 apostles. 4He went to the leaders of the priests and he talked with them. The police that worked at the temple were also there. Judas told them how he could give Jesus to them secretly. They were very happy and they promised to give him some money to do this. 6So Judas said that he would do it. Then he waited for the right moment to help them to take hold of Jesus. He wanted to do it when the crowd was not there with Jesus. 7The day came for Jewish people to eat the meal of flat bread which has no yeast in it. They had to kill a young sheep for the Passover meal on that day.
