On Day Three of Holy Week, the plot to kill Jesus develops:
Why did Satan not rather enter 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. (Cyril of Alexandria, Commentary on Luke, Homily 140)
