Marcos 8:31

31 Y comenzó á enseñarles, que convenía que el Hijo del hombre padeciese mucho, y ser reprobado de los ancianos, y de los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y de los escribas, y ser muerto, y resucitar después de tres días.

Marcos 8:31 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 8:31

And he began to teach them
For as yet he had said nothing to them about his sufferings and death, at least in express terms; but now they being firmly established in the faith of him, as the Messiah, he thought it proper to inform them,

that the son of man must suffer many things;
meaning himself, as that he should be betrayed, apprehended, and bound, should be smitten, spit upon, buffeted, and scourged; and which things must be done, and he suffer them, because it was so determined by God, and foretold in the Scriptures:

and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests and Scribes;
which composed the grand sanhedrim of the nation, and are the builders that were prophesied of by whom he should be rejected, ( Psalms 118:22 ) ,

and be killed;
in a violent manner; his life be taken away by force, without law, or justice:

and after three days rise again:
not after three days were ended, and on the fourth day, but after the third day was come; that is, "on the third day", as the Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions read; and even the Pharisees themselves thus understood Christ, ( Matthew 27:63 Matthew 27:64 ) , so the phrase, "after eight days", is used for the eighth day, being come, or that same day a week later; see ( Luke 9:28 ) compared with ( Matthew 17:1 ) ( John 20:26 ) .

Marcos 8:31 In-Context

29 Entonces él les dice: Y vosotros, ¿quién decís que soy yo? Y respondiendo Pedro, le dice: Tú eres el Cristo.

30 Y les apercibió que no hablasen de él á ninguno.

31 Y comenzó á enseñarles, que convenía que el Hijo del hombre padeciese mucho, y ser reprobado de los ancianos, y de los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y de los escribas, y ser muerto, y resucitar después de tres días.

32 Y claramente decía esta palabra. Entonces Pedro le tomó, y le comenzó á reprender.

33 Y él, volviéndose y mirando á sus discípulos, riñó á Pedro, diciendo: Apártate de mí, Satanás; porque no sabes las cosas que son de Dios, sino las que son de los hombres.
