Luke 22:48

New Living Translation

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

See the chapter Copy

His words are as smooth as butter, but in his heart is war. His words are as soothing as lotion, but underneath are daggers!

Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy.

But even as Jesus said this, a crowd approached, led by Judas, one of the twelve disciples. Judas walked over to Jesus to greet him with a kiss.

When the other disciples saw what was about to happen, they exclaimed, “Lord, should we fight? We brought the swords!”
