When Judas arrives at Gethsemane, he tells the accompanying crowd, “The one I will kiss (φιλĪ®σω; philéso) is he; seize him”. Then, Judas “kissed him” (κατεφĪÆλησεν αį½τĻν; katephílesen autón ). The Greek word for “to kiss” (φιλį½³ω; philéo) also means “to love,” so it’s ironic that Judas chooses this gesture to mark his disloyalty to Jesus. Luke flags this irony when Yeshua asks, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss (φιλį½µματι; philémati)?”. While, in one sense, the betrayer’s behavior appears out of place, it is also appropriate insofar as the kiss recalls one of the rituals of royal coronation and foreshadows the references to Jesus as “King of the Jews” before his crucifixion!

When Samuel installs Saul as king of Israel, “Samuel kissed him (į¼φį½·λησεν αį½τį½øν; epílesen autòn) and said, ‘Has not the Lord anointed you to be prince over his people Israel?’”. In the context of Israel’s Scriptures, Samuel kisses Saul in an anointing ceremony, so it is fitting for Yeshua the “Messiah” (×ש×××; mashiach)—literally, the “Anointed One”—to receive a kiss from Judas. Samuel goes on to tell Saul, “You shall reign over the people of the Lord and you will save (σį½½σεις; sóseis) them from the hand of their surrounding enemies”. Just as Samuel kisses Saul to inaugurate his job to save his people from their enemies, Judas kisses Jesus before he goes to the cross to “save (σĻσει; sósei) his people from their sins”. In recapitulating Samuel’s act toward Saul, Judas’s kiss highlights Jesus’ kingship and precedes the messianic mission of salvation.

Of course, Judas's kiss for Jesus was meant to be an act of betrayal, not an affirmation of royal status. In this way, the defective disciple enacts a perversion of Samuel's positive gesture toward king Saul. Still, what Judas meant for evil, God used for good. The kiss in Gethsemane is a negative echo of Samuel's coronation, but Jesus' arrest will lead to his enthronement as a "King of the Jews" whose death will bring about salvation from sin.
