Luke 22:2

1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,

and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death; for they feared the people.

3 Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.

4 And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
