Mark 9:30-32
New Catholic Bible
30 Jesus Predicts His Passion a Second Time.[a] They proceeded from there and began to journey through Galilee, but Jesus did not want anyone to know about it 31 because he was teaching his disciples. He told them, “The Son of Man[b] will be handed over into the power of men. They will kill him, and three days after being killed he will rise.” 32 But they did not understand what he was saying, and they were afraid to ask him about it.

- Mark 9:30 Mark very effectively alternates the glorious and suffering aspects of the Messiah, following up the most spectacular exorcism in the Gospel with Jesus’ second prediction of his Passion. He also implies that the initiative for the death of the Servant (see Isa 53) belongs to God.
- Mark 9:31 Son of Man: see note on Mt 8:20.
