“Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.”
Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve — then Satan entered Judas: Luke's theological explanation of the betrayal. Satan entered communicates the spiritual agency behind the human decision — the same Satan who left Jesus after the wilderness temptation at an opportune time (4:13) has found his moment through Judas. One of the Twelve: the identification that makes the betrayal most painful.
