Luke 22:48

Modern English Version

But Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”

See the chapter Copy

His speech was smoother than butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.

Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.

While He was yet speaking, a crowd came. And he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss Him.

When those who were around Him saw what would follow, they said, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”
