1 Estava próxima a Festa dos Pães sem Fermento, chamada Páscoa. 2 Os principais sacerdotes e os escribas procuravam uma forma de matar Jesus; porque temiam o povo.

3 Ora, Satanás entrou em Judas, chamado Iscariotes, que era um dos doze. 4 Judas foi entender-se com os principais sacerdotes e os capitães sobre como lhes entregaria Jesus. 5 Eles se alegraram e combinaram em lhe dar dinheiro. 6 Judas concordou e buscava uma boa ocasião para lhes entregar Jesus, longe da multidão.

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

2 and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.

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

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

5 They were delighted and agreed to give him money.

6 He consented, and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present.
