Matthew 20:17-19

New Testament for Everyone

The cup he had to drink

¹⁷ Jesus was on his way up to Jerusalem. He took the twelve disciples aside in private, while they were on the road, and said to them, ¹⁸ “Look here. We’re going up to Jerusalem. The son of man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they’re going to condemn him to death. ¹⁹ They will hand him over to the pagans, and they’re going to mock him, flog him and crucify him. And on the third day he will be raised.”
