Commentaries on Luke 22:3

A minister of the Gospel, who is a lover of money, is constantly betraying the interests of Christ. He…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 3Then entered Satan into Judas - It is not necessary to suppose that Satan entered personally into the body of Judas, but only that he brought him under his influence; he filled his mind with an evil passion, and led him on to betray his Master.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 3Satan entered Judas Iscariot: See John 13:2; Acts 5:3. Earlier, Satan had tempted Jesus and had been waiting for this opportunity (Luke 4:2, 13).Read the comment

(2) In the discharge of that most sacred trust he became "a thief," appropriating its contents from time to time to his own use. Satan, seeing this door into his heart standing wide…Read the comment
