And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.
All Commentaries on Matthew 20:19 Go To Matthew 20
Jerome
AD 420
He had often told His disciples of His passion, but because it might have slipped out of their recollection by reason of the many things they had heard in the mean while, now when He is going to Jerusalem, and going to take His disciples with Him, He fortifies them against the trial, that they should notbe scandalized when the persecution and shame of the Cross should come.
