Context of Luke 22:5

3Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve apostles. 4Judas went to the chief priests and the temple guards and discussed with them how he could betray Jesus. They were pleased and agreed to give him some money. 6So Judas promised to do it. He kept looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them when there was no crowd. 7The day came during the Festival of Unleavened Bread when the Passover lamb had to be killed.
