Now the feast of unleavened bread drew near, which is called the Passover.
All Commentaries on Luke 22:1 Go To Luke 22
Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
What was this manyheaded serpent’s invention? It says, “He entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.” Why did he not rather enter blessed Peter, James, John, or some other of the rest of the apostles? Why Judas Iscariot? What did Satan find in him? Satan could not approach any of those we have mentioned here, because their heart was steadfast and their love to Christ immovable. There was a place for Satan in the traitor. The bitter disease of greed, which the blessed Paul says is the root of all evil, had overpowered him. Satan is crafty in working evil. Whenever he gains possession of anyone’s soul, he does not attack him by means of general vice. He rather searches for that particular passion that has power over him and by its means makes him his prey. Commentary on Luke, Homily
