Luke 18:31-34 Part 2 of 2

Taking the twelve disciples aside, Jesus said, "Listen, we're going up to Jerusalem, where all the predictions of the prophets concerning the Son of Man will come true. He will be handed over to the Romans, and he will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit upon. They will flog him with a whip and kill him, but on the third day he will rise again." But they didn't understand any of this. The significance of his words was hidden from them, and they failed to grasp what he was talking about.

"He will be handed over to the Romans,"

Mark 10:33  "Listen," he said, "we're going up to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man will be betrayed to the leading priests and the teachers of religious law. They will sentence him to die and hand him over to the Romans." (see also Matthew 27:1-2, John 18:28, Acts 3:13)

"and he will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spitted upon."

Matthew 26:67-68  Then they began to spit in Jesus' face and beat him with their fists. And some slapped him, jeering, "Prophesy to us, you Messiah! Who hit you that time?" (see also Mark 14:65, 15:16-20, John 18:22, 19:2-3, Isaiah 53:3, 5)

 

"They will flog him with a whip and kill him, but on the third day he will rise again." 

Matthew 20:19  "Then they will hand him over to the Romans to be mocked, flogged with a whip and crucified. But on the third day he will be raised from the dead." (see also Matthew 12:40, 16:21, 17:22-23, Mark 8:31, 9:30-31, 10:34, Luke 9:22) 

 

But they didn't understand any of this. The significance of his words was hidden from them, and they failed to grasp what he was talking about. 

Mark 9:32  They didn't understand what he was saying, however, and they were afraid to ask him what he meant. (see verses 30-32) 

Luke 2:49-50  "Why did you need to search?" he (Jesus) asked. "Didn't you know that I must be in my Father's house?" But they didn't understand what he meant. (see verses 41-52)

Luke 9:44-45  "Listen to me and remember what I say. The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of his enemies." But they (his disciples) didn't know what he meant. Its significance was hidden from them, so they couldn't understand it. And they were afraid to ask him about it.

John 12:14-16  Jesus found a young donkey and rode on it, fulfilling the prophecy that said: "Don't be afraid, people of Jerusalem. Look, your King is coming, riding on a donkey's colt." (Zechariah 9:9) His disciples didn't understand at the time that this was a fulfillment of prophecy. But after Jesus entered into his glory, they remembered what had happened and realized that these things had been written about him.
