Luca 9:22

22 Bisogna che il Figliuol dell’uomo soffra molte cose, e sia reietto dagli anziani e dai capi sacerdoti e dagli scribi, e sia ucciso, e risusciti il terzo giorno.

Luca 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.

Luca 9:22 In-Context

20 Ed egli disse loro: E voi, chi dite ch’io sia? E Pietro, rispondendo, disse: Il Cristo di Dio.

21 Ed egli vietò loro severamente di dirlo ad alcuno, e aggiunse:

22 Bisogna che il Figliuol dell’uomo soffra molte cose, e sia reietto dagli anziani e dai capi sacerdoti e dagli scribi, e sia ucciso, e risusciti il terzo giorno.

23 Diceva poi a tutti: Se uno vuol venire dietro a me, rinunzi a se stesso, prenda ogni giorno la sua croce e mi seguiti.

24 Perché chi vorrà salvare la sua vita, la perderà; ma chi avrà perduto la propria vita per me, esso la salverà.
