Mark 14:45 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:45

And as soon as he was come
To the place where Jesus was:

he goeth straightway to him;
alone; as if he had nothing to do with the company behind, and as if he was his friend, and concerned for his safety:

and saith, Master, Master;
expressing great affection for him, and respect to him, by repeating this word. The Ethiopic version has it but once, and so two exemplars of Beza's; and the Vulgate Latin reads, "hail, Master", as in ( Matthew 26:49 ) .

and kissed him; (See Gill on Matthew 26:49).

Mark 14:45 In-Context

43 While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, scribes, and elders.

44 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him and lead Him away securely.”

45 Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

46 Then the men seized Jesus and arrested Him.

47 And one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
