Luke 18:32

32 For he will be delivered to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and shamefully treated and spit upon;

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 who will not receive manifold more in this time, and in the age to come eternal life."
31 And taking the twelve, he said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written of the Son of man by the prophets will be accomplished.
32 For he will be delivered to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and shamefully treated and spit upon;
33 they will scourge him and kill him, and on the third day he will rise."
34 But they understood none of these things; this saying was hid from them, and they did not grasp what was said.
