Jesus Talks Again About His Death

(Mt. 20:17‑19; Lk. 18:31‑34)

32Jesus and those with him were on their

way to Jerusalem. He was at the front of the

group. His followers were wondering what

was happening, and the people who followed

behind them were feeling afraid. Jesus gathered

the twelve apostles* again and talked

with them alone. He told them what would

happen in Jerusalem. 33He said, “We are

going to Jerusalem. The Son of Man* will be

handed over to the leading priests and teachers

of the law. They will say that he must

die and will hand him over to the foreigners,

34who will laugh at him and spit on him.

They will beat him with whips and kill him.

But on the third day after his death, he will

rise to life again.”
