Judas had been with Jesus for a number of years and so knew Him well. He probably gave the traditional middle-eastern 'kiss' still used today between males. Hence Jesus' comment 'do you betray the Son of man with a kiss?' This 'sign' was what he told those who had come with him to look out for, that they should arrest the one he kissed.
When Jesus asked the disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" Peter, the most outspoken one, answered, "You are the Christ, the son of the living God."
He kissed Jesus on the cheek, a common greeting in that day.
Judas betrayed Our Blessed Lord with a kiss.
You are the Christ!
Judas Iscariot kissed Jesus to identify him as the one the arresting mob should take into custody. (Matt. 26:48) Thus he was "betrayed by a kiss".
This was Judas Iscariot - he betrayed the whereabouts of Jesus so he could be arrested in secret - for 30 pieces of silver (about a month's wage).
Judas' kiss of betrayal was a sign to the mob who came to arrest Jesus that he was the one to arrest. A kiss was, and still is, a common greeting custom in the Middle East. Using it in this way was the ultimate hypocrisy.
after jesus had the last supper he took his disciples to the garden of Gethsemane to pray. he told them to watch for guard but they fell asleep. then judas told the soldiers "the one i will kiss is the one you will arrest." then judas went into the garden andkissed jesus thent he soldiers arrested jesus
Jesus had two disciples called Judas. One was Judas Iscariot, the other was just called Judas. Judas Iscariot is not known as Jesus brother, actually, he was the follower of Jesus that betrayed him to the Pharisees.
Judas Iscariot met Jesus when he was chosen by Jesus to be one of his twelve disciples. Judas was likely drawn to Jesus by his teachings and miracles, and ultimately became one of his closest followers.
Matthew and Mark have Jesus announced his betrayal at the Last Supper while they were eating. "Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me."Luke and John have Jesus announced his betrayer after they have eaten the Last Supper. Matthew and John have Jesus identify his betrayer. Mark and Luke have Jesus did not identify his betrayer. Matthew have Jesus disclose his betrayer by an implied affirmative answer to Judas'. Judas asked; "Master, is it I?" Jesus said unto him, Thou hast said" John have Jesus disclose his betrayer by giving Judas a sop. "Jesus answered, He it is to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot." Luke have Satan enter Judas before the Last Supper. John have Satan enter Judas after the Last Supper.
Judas Iscariot was the one who betrayed Jesus.

Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus's disciples, is the one who betrayed him to the high priest for thirty pieces of silver.
When Jesus was arrested,the most hard two things were: 1)that He will start a very long journey of pain and that will end with His Crucifiction. 2)that we was betrayed by one of His disciples,He knew that He will be betrayed by one of His disciples and He knew that this disciple is Judas but He also knew that His disciples will start to leave Him and that Saint Peter will start to deny Him... all these reasons were enough to make Jesus really sad when He was arrested...
Judas Iscariot was one of the original disciples of Jesus Christ, and the one who betrayed Him. He was not a blood brother of Jesus.
