Luke 22:3
Satan entered into Judas ( εισηλθεν εις Ιουδαν ). Ingressive aorist active indicative. Satan was now renewing his attack on Jesus suspended temporarily (Lu 4:13) "until a good chance." He had come back by the use of Simon Peter (Mr 8:33; Mt 16:23). The conflict went on and Jesus won ultimate victory (Lu 10:18). Now Satan uses Judas and has success with him for Judas allowed him to come again and again (Joh 13:27). Judas evidently opened the door to his heart and let Satan in. Then Satan took charge and he became a devil as Jesus said (Joh 6:70). This surrender to Satan in no way relieves Judas of his moral responsibility.
