Luke 18:32

32 He will be handed over to the Gentiles. He will be ridiculed, mistreated, and spit on.

Luke 18:32 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 18:32

For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles
As he was by the chief priests, Scribes, and elders, to Pilate, the Roman governor, and by him to the soldiers:

and shall be mocked;
as he was by the latter, when they crowned him with thorns, arrayed him in a purple robe, and put a reed into his hand, and bowed the knee to him, saying, hail king of the Jews; and likewise by the Jews when he hung upon the cross:

and spitefully entreated.
The Syriac and Persic versions leave out this clause here, and read it the next verse. It may regard the injuries done him, the abuses and affronts he received, both by words and blows:

and spitted on;
as he was both by officers in the high priest's palace, and by the Roman soldiers in Pilate's hall; see ( Isaiah 50:6 ) .

Luke 18:32 In-Context

30 will receive many times more in this age and eternal life in the coming age."
31 Jesus took the Twelve aside and said, "Look, we're going up to Jerusalem, and everything written about the Human One by the prophets will be accomplished.
32 He will be handed over to the Gentiles. He will be ridiculed, mistreated, and spit on.
33 After torturing him, they will kill him. On the third day, he will rise up."
34 But the Twelve understood none of these words. The meaning of this message was hidden from them and they didn't grasp what he was saying.
