1.4 KiB
behold, a crowd appeared
The word "behold" alerts us to a new group in the story. Your language may have a way of doing this. AT: "there was a crowd that appeared" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-participants)
leading them
Judas was showing the people where Jesus was. He was not telling the crowd what to do. AT: "leading them to Jesus"
to kiss him
"to greet him with a kiss" or "to greet him by kissing him." When men greeted other men who were family or friends, they would kiss them on one cheek or both cheeks. If your readers would find it embarrassing to say that a man would kiss another man, you could translate it in a more general way: "to give him a friendly greeting." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-unknown)
are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?
Jesus uses a question to rebuke Judas for betraying him with a kiss. Normally a kiss is a sign of love. AT: "it is a kiss you are using to betray the Son of Man!" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
the Son of Man
Jesus is using this term to refer to himself. AT: "me, the Son of Man," (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-123person)
