Gill's Notes on the Bible
And while he yet spake,.... The above words to his disciples,
behold a multitude. The Persic version adds, "of Jews, with arrows, swords, and spears"; but the multitude consisted partly of Roman soldiers, and partly of the officers of the chief priests:
and he that was called Judas: and sometimes Iscariot, to distinguish him from another Judas, who also was of the number of the apostles:
one of the twelve; disciples of Christ, whom he had chosen, called, and ordained:
went before them; as their guide, to show them where Jesus was, and to point him out unto them; see Acts 1:16
and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him; that being the signal he had given them, by which they should know him. The Syriac version here adds, "for this sign he had given to them, whomsoever I shall kiss, the same is he": and so likewise the Persic and Ethiopic versions, adding also this, "lay hold upon him"; but the whole seems to be transcribed from Matthew 26:48.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See this explained in Matthew 26:48-56.
Luke 22:48
Betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss? - By the âSon of manâ was evidently meant âthe Messiah.â Judas had had the most satisfactory evidence of that, and did not doubt it. A kiss was the sign of affection. By that slight artifice Judas thought to conceal his base purpose. Jesus with severity reproaches him for it. Every word is emphatic. âBetrayestâ thou - dost thou violate all thy obligations of fidelity, and deliver thy Master up to death? Betrayest âthouâ - thou, so long with him, so much favored, so sure that this is the Messiah? Betrayest thou âthe Son of manâ - the Messiah, the hope of the nations, the desire of all people, the worldâs Redeemer? Betrayest thou the Son of man âwith a kissâ - the sign of friendship and affection employed in a base and wicked purpose, intending to add deceit, disguise, and the prostitution of a mark of affection to the âcrime of treason?â Every word of this must have gone to the very soul of Judas. Perhaps few reproofs of crime more resemble the awful searchings of the souls of the wicked in the day of judgment.
