Mateus 20:17 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 20:17

And Jesus going up to Jerusalem
Which was situated


FOOTNOTES:

F6 in the highest part of the land of Israel: the land of Israel, is said to be higher than any other land whatever; and the temple at Jerusalem, higher than any part of the land of Israel; wherefore Christ's going to Jerusalem, is expressed by going up to it. Whither he came either from the coasts of Judea, from beyond Jordan, ( Matthew 19:1 ) where he had been some time healing diseases, disputing with the Pharisees, discoursing with the young ruler, and instructing his disciples; or from a country near to the wilderness, from a city called Ephraim, ( John 11:54 ) where he continued some time with his disciples, after the sanhedrim had took counsel to put him to death; for this was his last journey to Jerusalem.

Took the twelve disciples apart in the way:
into some private place, which lay near the road; for it seems that there were others that followed him, besides the twelve; when he was not willing they should hear what he had to say to them, concerning the issue of this, journey; lest either they should be discouraged and desert him, or it should be made public, and methods be used to prevent it: and said unto them; the disciples, whom he thought fit once more to remind of his sufferings and death, and to prepare them for the same; and though they would not so thoroughly understand all that he should say, yet when it was come to pass, they would remember it, and which would be of service to confirm their faith in him, as the true Messiah. (See Gill on 10:32).

Mateus 20:17 In-Context

15 Não me é lícito fazer o que quero do que é meu? Ou é mau o teu olho porque eu sou bom?
16 Assim os últimos serão primeiros, e os primeiros serão últimos.
17 Estando Jesus para subir a Jerusalém, chamou � parte os doze e no caminho lhes disse:
18 Eis que subimos a Jerusalém, e o Filho do homem será entregue aos principais sacerdotes e aos escribas, e eles o condenarão � morte,
19 e o entregarão aos gentios para que dele escarneçam, e o açoitem e crucifiquem; e ao terceiro dia ressuscitará.
