<p>20:18&nbsp;<em>Listen, we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man shall be</em>- This was stating the obvious, but He wanted them to perceive their part in the journey to the cross which He was making; for His path to death and resurrection was to be theirs, as it is ours too.</p><p><em>Delivered to the chief priests and scribes; and they shall</em>- The Greek means literally &lsquo;to hand over&rsquo;; the idea of betrayal was maybe implicit, but not as explicit as in the English word &lsquo;betrayed&rsquo;. It&rsquo;s the same Greek word as in :19, translated &ldquo;deliver&rdquo;. The word is very common on the lips of the Lord, as if He saw the moment of &lsquo;handing over&rsquo; as the quintessence of all His sufferings- the hand over from God&rsquo;s Providential protection to the powers of darkness.</p><p>&nbsp;<br /><em>Condemn Him to death</em>- Exactly fulfilled, using the same Greek words, in Mk. 14:64.&nbsp;</p>
