Luke 18:31-34

New International Reader's Version

Jesus Speaks a Third Time About His Coming Death

³¹ Jesus took the 12 disciples to one side. He told them, “We are going up to Jerusalem. Everything that the prophets wrote about the Son of Man will come true. ³² He will be handed over to the Gentiles. They will make fun of him. They will laugh at him and spit on him. ³³ They will whip him and kill him. On the third day, he will rise from the dead!”

³⁴ The disciples did not understand any of this. Its meaning was hidden from them. So they didn’t know what Jesus was talking about.
