AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ² And the leading priests and experts in the law of Moses were looking for a way to kill Jesus because they were afraid of the people [i.e., that people would riot if it were done during the Festival. See Matt. 26:5]. ³ Then Satan entered the heart of Judas, called Iscariot, who was one of the twelve apostles. ⁴ So, he left [probably the house of Simon, the man healed of an infectious skin disease. See Matt. 26:6-13] and went and discussed with the leading priests and captains [i.e., of the Temple guard] how he could turn Jesus over to them. ⁵ And they were very pleased, so agreed to give him money.
