SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:47
¶ Estando l an hablando, he aquí una multitud; y el que se llamaba Judas, uno de los doce, iba delante de ellos; y lleg a Jess para besarlo.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 47. And while he yet spake , etc.] The above words to his disciples, behold a multitude . The Persic version adds, of Jews, with arrows, swords, and spears; but the multitude consisted partly of Roman soldiers, and partly of the officers of the chief priests: and he that was called Judas : and sometimes Iscariot, to distinguish him from another Judas, who also was of the number of the apostles: one of the twelve ; disciples of Christ, whom he had chosen, called, and ordained: went before them ; as their guide, to show them where Jesus was, and to point him out unto them; (see Acts 1:16) and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him ; that being the signal he had given them, by which they should know him. The Syriac version here adds, for this sign he had given to them, whomsoever I shall kiss, the same is he: and so likewise the Persic and Ethiopic versions, adding also this, lay hold upon him; but the whole seems to be transcribed from ( Matthew 26:48).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 47-53 - Nothing can be a greater affront or grief to the Lord Jesus, than to be betrayed by those who profess to be his followers, and say that the love him. Many instances there are, of Christ's being betrayed by thos who, under the form of godliness, fight against the power of it. Jesu here gave an illustrious example of his own rule of doing good to thos that hate us, as afterwards he did of praying for those tha despitefully use us. Corrupt nature warps our conduct to extremes; we should seek for the Lord's direction before we act in difficul circumstances. Christ was willing to wait for his triumphs till his warfare was accomplished, and we must be so too. But the hour and the power of darkness were short, and such the triumphs of the wicke always will be.
