"Judas in the New Testament, the Restoration, and the Gospel of Judas". In the Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom the Greek Orthodox Church uses the troparion Of thy Mystical Supper., in which the hymnist vows to Jesus that he will ".not kiss Thee as did Judas." («.οὐ φίλημά σοι δώσω,καθάπερ ὁ Ἰούδας.»): Luke 22:48 quotes Jesus saying "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?" Īccording to Matthew 26:50, Jesus responded by saying: "Friend, do what you are here to do". Lutheran theologian Johann Bengel suggests that Judas kissed Him repeatedly: "he kissed Him more than once in opposition to what he had said in the preceding verse: Greek: φιλήσω, philēsō, a single kiss ( Matthew 26:48), and did so as if from kindly feeling". The compound verb (κατα-) "has the force of an emphatic, ostentatious salute". The gospels of Matthew (26:47–50) and Mark (14:43–45) both use the Greek verb καταφιλέω ( kataphileó), which means to "kiss, caress distinct from φιλεῖν ( philein) especially of an amorous kiss" It is the same verb that Plutarch uses to describe a famous kiss that Alexander the Great gave to Bagoas. Most Apostles originated from Galilee but Judas came from Judea. Judas was not the only disciple of Jesus but one of twelve Apostles.
