JC - Chapter 29

As the Savior journeyed to Jerusalem for the last time, He said to His apostles -

"...Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again."  (New Testament | Luke 18:31 - 33)

Knowing many of the prophecies of ancient prophets, these words seem very clear to most of us, but Luke notes of Hs apostles -

"...they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken."  (New Testament | Luke 18:34)

It seems strange that these things seem to be "hid" from these apostles, but the Savior knew exactly what was coming up.  These days must have been very solemn and somewhat sad to the Savior.
