"betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?” This appeal should have aroused the conscience of the betrayer, and touched his stubborn heart; but honor, fidelity, and human tenderness had forsaken him. He stood bold and defiant, showing no disposition to relent. He had given himself up to Satan, and he had no power to resist him. Jesus did not refuse the traitor's kiss. DA 696.1"

"And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly."
Both passages refer to Satan's influence on Judas during the betrayal, although the EGW passage focuses on Judas's inability to resist Satan, while John 13:27 describes Satan entering into him.
"The mob grew bold as they saw Judas touch the person of Him who had so recently been glorified before their eyes. They now laid hold of Jesus, and proceeded to bind those precious hands that had ever been employed in doing good. DA 696.2"

"Then the band and the captain and officers of the Jews took Jesus, and bound him,"
Both passages describe Jesus being bound by the arresting party.
The disciples had thought that their Master would not suffer Himself to be taken. For the same power that had caused the mob to fall as dead men could keep them helpless, until Jesus and His companions should escape. They were disappointed and indignant as they saw the cords brought forward to bind the hands of Him whom they loved. Peter in his anger rashly drew his sword and tried to defend his Master, but he only cut off an ear of the high priest's servant. When Jesus saw what was done, He released His hands, though held firmly by the Roman soldiers, and saying, “Suffer ye thus far,” He touched the wounded ear, and it was instantly made whole. He then said to Peter, “Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He shall presently give Me more than twelve legions of angels?”—a legion in place of each one of the disciples. Oh, why, the disciples thought, does He not save Himse…

"But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled."
Both passages refer to the disciples' reaction to Jesus' arrest, specifically their abandonment of him. The EGW passage provides more detail about their initial expectations and Peter's actions, but the underlying theme of their desertion is present in both.
