Judas' Kiss


Didacus

Recommended Posts

Is it in scripture that Judas' kiss to betray Jesus was on the nose? My mother always told me that a kiss on the nose was not a 'friendly kiss' since it was the kiss Judas gave Jesus in the garden to point him out to the guards.

Thy Geekdom Come

There is no indication from Scripture of where the kiss was. Since it was common Hebrew tradition to greet a friend with a kiss (and this is why Judas' act was so treacherous), one would be led to assume that the kiss was given in that tradition. I believe that would have been a kiss on the cheek.

God bless,
