Luke 22:48

Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you using the kiss of friendship to hand over the Son of Man to his enemies?”

See the chapter Copy

You can trust what your friend says, even when it hurts. But your enemies want to hurt you, even when they act nice.

His words about peace are as smooth as butter, but he has only war on his mind. His words are as slick as oil, but they cut like a knife.

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

The followers of Jesus were standing there too. They saw what was happening and said to Jesus, “Lord, should we use our swords?”
