Jesus Talks About His Own Death^(A)

¹⁷ While Jesus was going [^Lup] to Jerusalem [^Ctravelers go “up” to Jerusalem because it is built on a hill and because it is God’s holy city], he took his twelve followers aside privately and [as they walked; ^Lon the way] said to them, ¹⁸ “Look, we are going [^Lup] to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be ·turned over [betrayed; delivered over; see 17:22] to the ·leading [^Tchief] priests and the ·teachers of the law [scribes], and they will ·say that he must die [condemn him to death]. ¹⁹ They will turn the Son of Man over to the Gentiles [^Cthe Roman authorities] to ·laugh at [mock] him and ·beat him with whips [scourge/flog him] and crucify him. But on the third day, he will be raised to life again.”
