Matthew 26:48

26:48 (Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I kiss is the man. Arrest him!”)

Matthew 24:3

Signs of the End of the Age

24:3 As he was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”


tn Grk “the one who betrays him.”

tn Grk “The one I kiss is he.”

sn This remark is parenthetical within the narrative and has thus been placed in parentheses.

tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

sn Because the phrase these things is plural, more than the temple’s destruction is in view. The question may presuppose that such a catastrophe signals the end.
