Matthew 26:46-50
Excerpted from: Judas Iscariot

You see, he is still saying rabbi. He still just sees Him as a teacher. He does not see Him as God.

Why a kiss? Jesus was betrayed with a sign of affection, with a sign of love, with a sign of compassion. You see, at that time a kiss on the cheek was a common greeting, but it was a sign of respect, honor, and brotherly love.
