Context of Luke 22:5
3Then Satan entered Judas, the one called Iscariot, who was one of the twelve. 4He went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers of the temple guard how he might betray Jesus, handing him over to them. They were delighted and arranged to give him money. 6So Judas agreed and began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus when no crowd was present. 7Then the day for the feast of Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
