MATTHEW 20:17-19, MARK 10:32-34, LUKE 18:31-34

They were off now to Jerusalem, but we see Jesus apart and alone, busy with thoughts, setting himself ready to do his great work. It says, ‘and going before them was Jesus; and they were amazed and those who were following were afraid.’ It was then that Jesus took the Apostles apart and in language more precise than ever before, told them how all things that were ‘written by the prophets shall be accomplished on the Son of Man’. The Lord gave them full details of his betrayal, crucifixion, and resurrection. Luke reports, ‘they understood none of these things’. This explains how the events of Passion week were going to take them by surprise!
