Judas Plans to Betray Jesus^(A)

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve apostles, the one named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests. ¹⁵ He asked, “What will you pay me if I hand him over to you?”

They offered him 30 silver coins. ¹⁶ From then on, he looked for a chance to betray Jesus.

³ Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve apostles. ⁴ Judas went to the chief priests and the temple guards and discussed with them how he could betray Jesus. ⁵ They were pleased and agreed to give him some money. ⁶ So Judas promised to do it. He kept looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them when there was no crowd.
