Luca 9:22 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:22

Saying, the son of man must suffer many things
In his person and character, in his soul and body, at the hands of God, and of men, and devils:

and be rejected of the elders, and chief priests, and Scribes;
who made up the grand sanhedrim of the nation: by these he was to be, and was rejected as the Messiah; and when put up with another which should be released, that other should be preferred, and he rejected; and which was done at the instigation of these men, who were the builders; of whom it was foretold that they should reject the head stone of the corner, ( Psalms 118:22 )

and be slain;
or put to death, with the death of the cross:

and be raised the third day;
according to the types and prophecies of the Old Testament. This he added for the comfort of his disciples.

Luca 9:22 In-Context

20 Ed egli disse loro: E voi, chi dite ch’io sono? E Pietro, rispondendo, disse: Il Cristo di Dio.

21 Ed egli divietò loro strettamente che nol dicessero ad alcuno;

22 dicendo: Ei conviene che il Figliuol dell’uomo patisca molte cose, e sia riprovato dagli anziani, e da’ principali sacerdoti, e dagli Scribi; e sia ucciso, e risusciti al terzo giorno.

23 DICEVA, oltre a ciò, a tutti: Se alcuno vuol venir dietro a me, rinunzii a sè stesso, e tolga ogni dì la sua croce in ispalla, e mi seguiti.

24 Perciocchè, chi avrà voluto salvar la vita sua la perderà; ma chi avrà perduta la vita sua, per me, la salverà.
