MATTHEW 26:48 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.”
Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying: the one I will kiss is the man; seize him. The sign of the kiss: the agreed signal that Judas has arranged communicates the practical necessity of identifying Jesus in the darkness of Gethsemane. The kiss — the greeting of a disciple for his rabbi — is the sign of intimate relationship turned into the instrument of betrayal.
