Luke 9:22 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:22

Saying, the son of man must suffer many things
In his person and character, in his soul and body, at the hands of God, and of men, and devils:

and be rejected of the elders, and chief priests, and Scribes;
who made up the grand sanhedrim of the nation: by these he was to be, and was rejected as the Messiah; and when put up with another which should be released, that other should be preferred, and he rejected; and which was done at the instigation of these men, who were the builders; of whom it was foretold that they should reject the head stone of the corner, ( Psalms 118:22 )

and be slain;
or put to death, with the death of the cross:

and be raised the third day;
according to the types and prophecies of the Old Testament. This he added for the comfort of his disciples.

Luke 9:22 In-Context

20 Then he said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" And Peter answered, "The Christ of God."
21 And he strictly charged and commanded them to tell this to no one,
22 saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised."
23 And he said to all, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
24 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
