Mark 10:33 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:33

[Saying], behold we go up to Jerusalem
They were now upon the road thither.

And the son of man;
meaning himself,

shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the Scribes;
by the determinate counsel, and foreknowledge of God, and by the means of a treacherous disciple of his, Judas. The Vulgate Latin version adds, "and to the elders"; but this is not in any of the copies, nor in other versions:

and they shall condemn him to death;
as they did in the palace of the high priest, "nemine contradicente"; see ( Mark 14:64 ) ,

and shall deliver him to the Gentiles;
the Romans, to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor; either because they had not then power to put him to death themselves, or because they were desirous he should die the death of the cross, a Roman punishment.

31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first."

32 They were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. They were astonished, but those who followed Him were afraid. Taking the Twelve aside again, He began to tell them the things that would happen to Him.

33 "Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes, and they will condemn Him to death. Then they will hand Him over to the Gentiles,

34 and they will mock Him, spit on Him, flog Him, and kill Him, and He will rise after three days."

35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, approached Him and said, "Teacher, we want You to do something for us if we ask You."
