26:47 說話之間，那十二個門徒裡的猶大來了，並有許多人帶著刀棒，從祭司長和民間的長老那裡與他同來。
26:48 那賣耶穌的給了他們一個暗號，說：「我與誰親嘴，誰就是他。你們可以拿住他。」
26:49 猶大隨即到耶穌跟前，說：「請拉比安」，就與他親嘴。
26:50 耶穌對他說：「朋友，你來要做的事，就做吧。」於是那些人上前，下手拿住耶穌。
26:51 有跟隨耶穌的一個人伸手拔出刀來，將大祭司的僕人砍了一刀，削掉了他一個耳朵。
26:52 耶穌對他說：「收刀入鞘吧！凡動刀的，必死在刀下。
26:53 你想，我不能求我父現在為我差遣十二營多天使來嗎？
26:54 若是這樣，經上所說，事情必須如此的話怎麼應驗呢？」
26:55 當時，耶穌對眾人說：「你們帶著刀棒出來拿我，如同拿強盜嗎？我天天坐在殿裡教訓人，你們並沒有拿我。
26:56 但這一切的事成就了，為要應驗先知書上的話。」當下，門徒都離開他逃走了。
47 While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people. 48 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.” 49 Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.
50 Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”[d]
Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. 51 With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
52 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. 53 Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? 54 But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?”
55 In that hour Jesus said to the crowd, “Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me. 56 But this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.

猶大主賣主耶穌的記號是：親嘴！
親嘴對於當時是一個打招呼的行動，正如今天我們握手問安一般。保羅在他的書信中常常說：「你們親嘴問安，彼此務要聖潔。」（哥林多後書13:12）
保羅說到「親嘴…務要聖潔」，讓我們感受到猶大的親嘴是不合乎這個要求，因為主耶穌是何等的愛屬祂的人，然而猶大卻是另有用心，不珍惜主耶穌與他之間的關係，另用這樣的關係來出賣主耶穌，讓人覺得很可惡！
但是，我們若想想我們的信仰是利用主耶穌來得賜福，使自己有豐盛的財物，得著人的尊敬與看重，而不是真心要榮耀主耶穌和愛我們的上帝！那我們也是在出賣主耶穌和天父上帝，和猶大的親嘴支出賣主耶穌沒有兩樣！因為我們做的是相同的一件事，就是為了使自己得利益，而捨棄了愛我們且賜救恩給我們的主！
求主赦免我們，我們常常把意念放在得福澤的超過榮耀上帝！求聖靈更新我們，讓我愛主勝過得利益！
