Footnotes

*Here “while” is supplied as a component of the temporal genitive absolute participle (“was … speaking”)
*Here the predicate nominative (“the one”) is implied
*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“came up”) has been translated as a finite verb
*The words “do that” are not in the Greek text but are implied
iThe meaning of this phrase is disputed: (1) some take it as a declarative (as in the translation); (2) others understand it as some form of a question, often with supplied words: (a) “Friend, are you misusing the kiss for that purpose for which you are here?” (b) “Friend, in connection with that for which you have appeared do you kiss me?” (c) “Friend, are you here for this purpose?” (d) “Friend, what are you here for?”; this last option, though often suggested, is doubtful because of lack of evidence for the relative pronoun used as an interrogative in direct questions
*Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“came up”) has been translated as a finite verb

The traitor, Judas, had given them a prearranged signal: “You will know which one to arrest when I greet him with a kiss.” So Judas came straight to Jesus. “Greetings, Rabbi!” he exclaimed and gave him the kiss.
