With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and elders of the people. 48 (Now the betrayer[b] had given them a sign, saying, “The one I kiss is the man.[c] Arrest him!”)[d] 49 Immediately[e] he went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi,” and kissed him.[f]

  2. Matthew 26:48 tn Grk “the one who betrays him.”
  3. Matthew 26:48 tn Grk “The one I kiss is he.”
  4. Matthew 26:48 sn This remark is parenthetical within the narrative and has thus been placed in parentheses.
  5. Matthew 26:49 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
  6. Matthew 26:49 sn Judas’ act of betrayal when he kissed Jesus is especially sinister when it is realized that it was common in the culture of the times for a disciple to kiss his master when greeting him.
