Here we see the true fullness of evil that consumes the human heart both from within and without. As Jesus’ time came to die, there were 3 places that evil came from: the world, the flesh, and the Devil. They all worked together to try to stop Jesus, and in a special way the Devil was a key part in this, trying to keep power and control from Jesus.

[Luke 22.1-6]

1 Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called the Passover. 2 And the chief priests and the scribes were seeking how to put him to death, for they feared the people.

3 Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve. 4 He went away and conferred with the chief priests and officers how he might betray him to them. 5 And they were glad, and agreed to give him money. 6 So he consented and sought an opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of a crowd.
