Exegesis
Two imperatives, kratesate {κρατήσατε | kra-tḗ-sa-te} “seize” and apagete {ἀπάγετε | a-pá-ge-te} “lead away,” form a coordinated command sequence, while the adverb asphalos {ἀσφαλῶς | as-pha-lôs} “securely” modifies the manner of leading away, suggesting special caution. In translation, the Greek word order within the relative and main clauses is smoothed into standard English clause structure, while preserving the emphasis on Judas’s identifying kiss and the firmness of his directives.
In context — Mark 14:44
Now the one betraying Him had given them a sign , saying, “Whomever I shall kiss, He is the one; seize Him and lead Him away securely.”
