Jesus Again Tells about His Death

(Mark 10.32-34; Luke 18.31-34)

¹⁷ As Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, he took his twelve disciples aside and told them in private:

¹⁸ We are now on our way to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the teachers of the Law of Moses. They will sentence him to death, ¹⁹ and then they will hand him over to foreigners^[a] who will make fun of him. They will beat him and nail him to a cross. But on the third day he will rise from death.
