Mark 10:33

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.

Mark 10:33 In-Context

31 Many who have the highest place now will have the lowest place in the future. And many who have the lowest place now will have the highest place in the future."

32 As Jesus and the people with him were on the road to Jerusalem, he was leading the way. His followers were amazed, but others in the crowd who followed were afraid. Again Jesus took the twelve apostles aside and began to tell them what was about to happen in Jerusalem.

33 He said, "Look, we are going to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be turned over to the leading priests and the teachers of the law. They will say that he must die, and they will turn him over to the non-Jewish people,

34 who will laugh at him and spit on him. They will beat him with whips and crucify him. But on the third day, he will rise to life again."

35 Then James and John, sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus and said, "Teacher, we want to ask you to do something for us."
