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 Cuando terminó de orar y volvió a los discípulos, los encontró dormidos, agotados por la tristeza.

46 «¿Por qué están durmiendo? —les exhortó—. Levántense y oren para que no caigan en tentación».

47 Todavía estaba hablando Jesús cuando se apareció una turba, y al frente iba uno de los doce, el que se llamaba Judas. Este se acercó a Jesús para besarlo,

48 pero Jesús le preguntó:—Judas, ¿con un beso traicionas al Hijo del hombre?

49 Los discípulos que lo rodeaban, al darse cuenta de lo que pasaba, dijeron:—Señor, ¿atacamos con la espada?
