Luke 22:48

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Jesus asked Judas, “Are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

See the chapter Copy

His words were smoother than butter, and softer than olive oil. But hatred filled his heart, and he was ready to attack with a sword.

You can trust a friend who corrects you, but kisses from an enemy are nothing but lies.

While Jesus was still speaking, a crowd came up. It was led by Judas, one of the twelve apostles. He went over to Jesus and greeted him with a kiss.

When Jesus' disciples saw what was about to happen, they asked, “Lord, should we attack them with a sword?”
