Luke 22:48 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

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 had done the same evening at supper twice in a breath, in the sense here given; see Matthew 26:24 and it adds a great spirit to these words; which the reader will discern to be attended with much greater strength and beauty, than if our Lord had only said Dost thou betray ME with a kiss?
