Expositor's Bible Commentary Commentary Luke 22:3

"And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve." — Luke 22:3 (ASV)

Luke mentions the presence of the “officers of the temple guard,” whose soldiers probably captured Jesus . Municipalities had their own officers and so did the Jerusalem religious establishment. Luke also mentions that, in betraying Jesus, Judas sought to avoid the crowds.
