"Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude."
Today's quote relates the beginning of the plot to kill Jesus as it was initiated by Judas and the Jewish leadership. Judas agreed to take money in exchange for betraying Jesus.
As sad as this sounds, it was a necessary step in the process that led to a divine sacrifice which would, and still does, save countless eternal souls from the torment of an everlasting hell.~
