Jesus Predicts His Death a Second Time
43 While everyone was marveling at all that Jesus did, he said to his disciples,
45
But they did not understand what this meant. It was hidden from them, so that they did not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask him about it.
46

49
“Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.”

And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him;
53
but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem.
