John 13:27 - Additional Comments

Judas had so opened himself up to sin and refusal to accept Jesus as Lord, that Satan was able to enter him. "Enter" is not demon possession, as seen in vs 13:2 - it is a prompting by Satan. This is similar to what we see in Acts 5:3 with Ananias. In possibly the same way, Jesus was tempted by Satan, but did not give in (Matt 4:1, James 1:13-15). We are warned not to give the devil a foothold (Ephesians 4:26-27).
"Satan entered into Judas" doesn't refer to some kind of irresistible demon possession, but a deliberate courting of sinful thoughts and beliefs that make Judas vulnerable to be manipulated by Satan, yet fully responsible for his actions. This is why you must run from temptation (Prov 4:14-15), so Satan does not get the foothold.
