Luke 9:44 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:44

Let these sayings sink down into your ears
The Vulgate Latin, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions read, "in your hearts": Christ's sense is, that they would, diligently attend to them, seriously consider them, and carefully lay them up in their memories; and what he refers to are not the words he had spoken, but what he was about to say; namely, as follow:

for the son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men;
by whom he should be killed, though he should rise again the third day; (See Gill on Matthew 17:22) (See Gill on Matthew 17:23)

44 "Don't forget what I am about to tell you! The Son of Man is going to be handed over to the power of human beings."

45 But the disciples did not know what this meant. It had been hidden from them so that they could not understand it, and they were afraid to ask him about the matter.

46 An argument broke out among the disciples as to which one of them was the greatest.
