Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 22:47
While he yet spake, behold, a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.THE BETRAYALTinsley's seeing this verse as "a suggestion that Judas did not actually kiss Jesus (Mark and Matthew both say that he did)"[32] is a perfect example of the type of irresponsible criticism so often indulged in by radical critics. There is no suggestion at all in this place that Judas did not kiss Jesus; but rather a statement that just... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 22:48
But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?There is no vocabulary sufficiently extensive to describe the dastardly act of Judas Iscariot. The rationalistic devices of some who would extenuate his treachery, the "explanations" of those who exhibit some diabolical affinity with the traitor himself, together with all the brilliant and clever imaginations set to work out some justification of the traitor's deed - all of these have utterly failed to redeem Judas in the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 22:49
And when they that were about him saw what would follow, they said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? And a certain one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his right ear.The apostles had misunderstood the Lord's mention of the sword, and that misunderstanding led to the incident here. The sword was a proper weapon of self-defense against brigands, but not against the lawful authority. Such was the Saviour's respect for the legal government that he willingly submitted... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 22:51
But Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye them thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.The servant who lost his ear was Malchus (John 18:10); and Luke, with a physician's characteristic observance, noted that it was his right ear.Suffer ye them thus far ... The word THEM is not in the Greek, and some question exists as to the exact meaning. Geldenhuys understood it as "Let events take their course, even to my arrest,"[33] thus seeing the remark as addressed to the Lord's disciples with... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 22:52
And Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, that were come out against him, Are ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and staves? When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth your hand against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.As Hobbs said, "swords and staves" indicate that "both Roman soldiers and temple police"[34] were used in the arrest. Only Luke, however, spelled out the presence of the chief priests who had... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 22:48
Luke 22:48. Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?— "Dost thou betray him, whom thou canst not but know to be the Son of man,—'the Messiah,' by that which all men use as the symbol either of love or homage,—making it a signal of thy treachery? And dost thou think that he can be imposed upon by this poor artifice, or that such baseness and cruelty will not be punished?"—There is great reason to believe that our Lord uses this phrase of the Son of man to Judas on this occasion, as he... read more
