Lucas 22:47 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 22:47

And while he yet spake
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 ) .

Lucas 22:47 In-Context

45 Depois, levantando-se da oração, veio para os seus discípulos, e achou-os dormindo de tristeza;

46 e disse-lhes: Por que estais dormindo? Lenvantai-vos, e orai, para que não entreis em tentação.

47 E estando ele ainda a falar, eis que surgiu uma multidão; e aquele que se chamava Judas, um dos doze, ia adiante dela, e chegou-se a Jesus para o beijar.

48 Jesus, porém, lhe disse: Judas, com um beijo trais o Filho do homem?

49 Quando os que estavam com ele viram o que ia suceder, disseram: Senhor, feri-los-emos a espada?
