Luk 22:48. [Εἶπεν αὐτῷ, said unto him) In the confused din of the multitude (comp. Luk 22:51-52), the exceedingly wise course of proceeding which Jesus adopted is well worthy of observation.-V. g.]-φιλήματι, with a kiss) The traitor abuses the highest token of love with the highest degree of daring presumption. Comp. the note on Luk 7:45. [None of His most intimate disciples and friends had ever kissed the Lord. The traitor alone dared to profane with impure lips the face of the Lord. This unprecedented act matched well with his unprecedented treachery.]
