Luke 18:31-34

Contemporary English Version

Jesus Again Tells about His Death

(Matthew 20.17-19; Mark 10.32-34)

³¹ Jesus took the twelve apostles aside and said:

We are now on our way to Jerusalem. Everything that the prophets wrote about the Son of Man will happen there. ³² He will be handed over to foreigners,^[a] who will make fun of him, mistreat him, and spit on him. ³³ They will beat him and kill him, but three days later he will rise to life.

³⁴ The apostles did not understand what Jesus was talking about. They could not understand, because the meaning of what he said was hidden from them.
