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.
