Osculation
Osculation is the act of kissing.
All three Synoptic Gospels report that Judas betrayed Jesus by osculation. (Matthew 26:47-50; Mark 14:44-45; Luke 22:47-48).
Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him." Immediately Judas went to Jesus and said, "Hail, Rabbi!" and kissed Him.
(Matthew 26:48-49, NASB)
In Matthew and Mark the kiss (Greek: kataphilein) is delivered while in Luke it is only referenced.
