Luke 22:3

“Then entered Satan into Judas, etc.] At the same time that the sanhedrim were sitting, and consulting about the death of Christ, Satan, or the adversary, as the word signifies, the devil, who is the enemy of the Messiah, the woman's seed, entered into Judas; not corporeally, as he did into those that were possessed by him; but he entered “into his heart”, as the Ethiopic version renders it; he put it into his heart to betray him, as it is said in (<431302>John 13:2) he stirred up, and worked upon the corruptions of his heart; suggested evil things to his mind, and baited his temptations agreeable to his malice and covetousness: and this man was surnamed Iscariot; to distinguish him from…”

The particular passion of which Satan made use was “avarice” - probably the besetting sin of Judas. To show its exceeding evil and baseness, it is only necessary to say that when it produced its “appropriate” effect in this case, it led to the betraying and crucifixion of the Son of God. We may learn, also, that when Satan “tempts” people, he commonly does it by exciting and raising to the highest pitch their native passions. He does not make them act…”

“Then entered Satan - Who is never wanting to assist those whose heart is bent upon mischief. Luke 22:4”

“22:3 Satan entered into Judas Iscariot: See John 13:2; Acts 5:3. Satan had previously tempted Jesus (Luke 4:2) and had been waiting for this opportunity (4:13).”

“entered: Mat 26:14; Mar 14:10, Mar 14:11; Joh 6:70, Joh 6:71, Joh 12:6, Joh 13:2, Joh 13:27; Act 5:3 being: Luk 22:21, Luk 6:16; Psa 41:9, Psa 55:12-14; Mat 26:23; Mar 14:18-20; Joh 13:18, Joh 13:26 Luke 22:4”
