Luke 18:31 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 18:31

Then he took unto him the twelve
His twelve disciples, as the Ethiopic version expresses it; he took them aside from the rest of the company, as they were travelling on the road, and privately delivered to them, what follows; see ( Matthew 20:17 )

and said unto them, behold, we go up to Jerusalem;
to the feast of the passover, which was drawing near, and the last Christ was to eat with his disciples, the time of his sufferings, and death, being now at hand; and of which he thought fit to give his disciples notice: and therefore he called them aside, and in a private manner, told them,

that all things that are written by the prophets, concerning the
son of man, shall be accomplished;
particularly, ( Psalms 2:1 Psalms 2:2 ) ( Psalms 22:6-8 ) ( Isaiah 1:6 ) ( Micah 5:1 ) ( Isaiah 53:5 Isaiah 53:6 Isaiah 53:12 ) ( Psalms 22:15 ) ( 26:10 ) ( Hosea 6:2 ) for to these the following things have respect.

Luke 18:31 In-Context

29 And he said to them, "Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,

30 who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life."

31 And taking the twelve, he said to them, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished.

32 For he will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and shamefully treated and spit upon.

33 And after flogging him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise."
