But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
Ver. 48. Judas, betrayest thou, &c.] Sic Iudaei, sub praetextu pietatis maxime delinquebant; et Deo osculum sine amore praebebant. (Bucholcer.) Julian the Apostate was no friend to Basil, though he wrote to him, φιλος φιλω και αδελφος αδελοω. Nor was Libanius the more to be believed for saying (in Epist. ad Basilium), βασιλειου με επαινησαντος κατα παντων εχω τα νικητηρια. If Basil commend me, I despise other men's worse censures.
