saying, master, we would that thou shouldst do for us whatsoever we

33 "We are now going up to Yerushalayim, where the Son of Man will be handed over to the head cohanim and the Torah-teachers. They will sentence him to death and turn him over to the Goyim,

34 who will jeer at him, spit on him, beat him and kill him; but after three days, he will rise."
