Luke 22:3
1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching,
2 and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death; for they feared the people.
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.
5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.
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.
