3Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve. 4And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them.

5They were delighted and agreed to give him money.

6Judas consented, and began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of a crowd. 7Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed.

Luke 22:5 Summary

In Luke 22:5, we see that the chief priests and temple officers were delighted to have an opportunity to betray Jesus and were willing to pay Judas for his help. This shows how much they wanted to get rid of Jesus and how willing they were to do whatever it took to make that happen. As we reflect on this verse, we can see the dangers of allowing greed and selfishness to motivate our actions, as warned against in 1 Timothy 6:10. We are called to be faithful and loyal to God, even when it is difficult or costly, as seen in Matthew 16:24-25, and to trust in His sovereignty and provision, as promised in Philippians 4:19.

Frequently Asked Questions

The chief priests and temple officers were delighted to have an opportunity to betray Jesus, and they were willing to pay Judas for his help, as seen in Luke 22:5, indicating their strong desire to get rid of Jesus, similar to the plot against Him in Matthew 26:3-5.

How much money did Judas receive for betraying Jesus?

The Bible does not specify the exact amount of money Judas received, but it is mentioned in Luke 22:5 that they agreed to give him money, and in Matthew 26:15, it is stated that the chief priests paid him thirty pieces of silver, as prophesied in Zechariah 11:12-13.

Why were the chief priests and temple officers so eager to get rid of Jesus?

The chief priests and temple officers were threatened by Jesus' teachings and the attention He was receiving from the people, as seen in Luke 20:19, and they saw Him as a threat to their power and authority, similar to the reaction of the Pharisees in John 11:47-53.

What can we learn from Judas' decision to accept money for betraying Jesus?

Judas' decision to accept money for betraying Jesus serves as a warning about the dangers of greed and the love of money, as stated in 1 Timothy 6:10, and it highlights the importance of being motivated by a love for God and a desire to serve Him, rather than personal gain, as seen in Matthew 6:24.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Luke 22:5

Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. For the exposition see the notes at Mark 14:1-2; Mark 14:10-11, with the corresponding Remarks at the close of that section.

Trapp's Commentary on Luke 22:5

5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. Ver. 5. And covenanted] Judas sold his salvation, and they bought their damnation, saith one. He made a match with mischief, and soon had enough of it.

Ellicott's Commentary on Luke 22:5

(3-6) Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot.—See Notes on Matthew 26:14-16; Mark 14:10-11. St. Luke stands alone in the first three Gospels as thus describing the origin of the Traitor’s guilt. John 13:27 shows, however, that such a way of speaking had become common, though he places the “entrance” at a later stage. The use of the name Satan for the devil, as the author of the many forms of human evil, is, it need hardly be said, a prominent feature in St. Paul’s writings (1 Corinthians 7:5; 2 Corinthians 2:11; 2 Corinthians 12:7. et al.). Compare also St. Peter’s speech in Acts 5:3, where Satan appears as instigating the sin of Ananias and Sapphira.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Luke 22:5

Verse 5. They - covenanted to give him money.] Matthew says thirty pieces, or staters, of silver, about 4£. 10s. English, the common price of the meanest slave. See Clarke on Matthew 26:15.
