Context of Mark 14:43

41And he comes the third time and says to them, Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough; the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners. 42Arise, let us go; behold, he that delivers me up has drawn nigh. And immediately, while he was yet speaking, Judas comes up, [being] one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44Now he that delivered him up had given them a sign between them, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; seize him, and lead [him] away safely. 45And being come, straightway coming up to him, he says, Rabbi, Rabbi; and he covered him with kisses.

The latter rashly and without thought call Christ Master…Read the comment
