Why Did Judas Kiss Jesus in Luke 22:47–48?
The kiss was betrayal dressed as affection. Jesus did not meet it with force but with a question that exposed what the gesture really was.
Judas Iscariot's Father: Simon Iscariot in John 13
John's account of the Last Supper names Judas Iscariot's father plainly: Jesus calls him the son of Simon Iscariot. The detail arrives at the moment of the betrayal announcement, not as a footnote.
Who Was Judas Iscariot's Father?
John 6:70–71 names Judas Iscariot's father as Simon Iscariot and places the betrayer among the twelve Jesus chose. The verse's weight falls not on the father but on betrayal arising inside the chosen circle.
