Luke 22:3

22:3 Then 1  Satan 2  entered Judas, the one called Iscariot, who was one of the twelve. 3 

Luke 22:47

Betrayal and Arrest

22:47 While he was still speaking, suddenly a crowd appeared, 4  and the man named Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He walked up 5  to Jesus to kiss him. 6 

1 tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

2 sn The cross is portrayed as part of the cosmic battle between Satan and God; see Luke 4:1-13; 11:14-23.

3 tn Grk “Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.”

4 tn Grk “While he was still speaking, behold, a crowd, and the one called Judas…was leading them.” The abrupt appearance of the crowd on the scene is indicated in the translation by “suddenly” and “appeared.”

5 tn Grk “drew near.”

6 tc Many mss (D Θ Ë13 700 pm as well as several versional mss) add here, “for this is the sign he gave to them: Whoever I kiss is [the one].” This addition is almost certainly not original, since most of the important mss lack it. It may be a copyist’s attempt to clarify the text, or the accidental inclusion of a marginal gloss.
