<p>10:33 <i>We will go up to Jerusalem- </i>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. Or perhaps we are to conclude that like Abraham, they were following their Lord not knowing where they were going.</p><p><i>And the Son of Man shall be delivered- </i>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;. 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><i>To the chief priests and the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death- </i>Exactly fulfilled, using the same Greek words, in Mk. 14:64.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p><i>And shall deliver him to the Gentiles</i>- The Lord foresaw that the Jews would have to deliver Him to the Romans if their death sentence was going to be legally inflicted.</p>
