Knowing The Word in Matthew 20:17-19

Jesus Foretells His Death a Third Time

17 And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them, 18 “See, we are going up to Jerusalem. And the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death [the formal rejection of the Messiah by Israel] 19 and deliver him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified [“not a glorious martyrdom but an ugly, sordid butchery”], and he will be raised on the third day.”
