This interaction occurs in the Garden of Gethsemane, a place Jesus often visited with His disciples. The question posed by Jesus is not for His own understanding, as He is fully aware of Judas's intentions, but rather to confront Judas with the gravity of his actions. This reflects Jesus' omniscience and His role as a teacher, even in moments of personal betrayal.Judas Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, is the one who betrays Jesus. His name has become synonymous with betrayal. Historically, Judas was the treasurer for the disciples, and his motivations for betrayal are often linked to greed, as he was paid thirty pieces of silver by the chief priests. Judas's actions fulfill the prophecy found in <a href="/psalms/41-9.htm">Psalm 41:9</a>, which speaks of a close friend lifting his heel against the psalmist, a foreshadowing of the betrayal of Jesus.are you betraying The act of betrayal is significant in biblical terms, as it involves a breach of trust and loyalty. Judas's betrayal is particularly heinous because it is against Jesus, who had shown him love and trust. This act sets in motion the events leading to the crucifixion, which is central to the Christian understanding of salvation. The betrayal is a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, such as <a href="/zechariah/11-12.htm">Zechariah 11:12-13</a>, which speaks of the thirty pieces of silver.the Son of Man The title "Son of Man" is one Jesus frequently uses for Himself, emphasizing both His humanity and His divine authority. It is a messianic title rooted in <a href="/daniel/7-13.htm">Daniel 7:13-14</a>, where the Son of Man is given dominion and glory. By using this title, Jesus underscores His identity and mission, even in the face of betrayal. This title also connects to the suffering servant motif found in Isaiah, highlighting Jesus' role in God's redemptive plan.with a kiss? A kiss, in the cultural context of the time, was a common greeting among friends and a sign of respect and affection. Judas's use of a kiss to betray Jesus is particularly poignant and ironic, as it turns a symbol of love into one of treachery. This act of betrayal with a kiss is a stark contrast to the love and loyalty expected among Jesus' followers. It serves as a powerful reminder of the deceitfulness of sin and the depth of human betrayal.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a> The central figure of the New Testament, the Son of God, who is about to be betrayed and arrested.

It was the name which was specially connected with His office as Judge and King (<a href="/daniel/7-13.htm" title="I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.">Daniel 7:13</a>), and so it came as a warning of the terrible retribution which the Traitor was preparing for himself. <a href="/commentaries/luke/22-48.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>But δὲ (de) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1161.htm">Strong's 1161: </a> A primary particle; but, and, etc. Jesus Ἰησοῦς (Iēsous) Noun - Nominative Masculine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_2424.htm">Strong's 2424: </a> Of Hebrew origin; Jesus, the name of our Lord and two other Israelites. asked εἶπεν (eipen) Verb - Aorist Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_2036.htm">Strong's 2036: </a> Answer, bid, bring word, command.
