And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.
All Commentaries on Mark 10:34 Go To Mark 10
Bede
AD 735
The disciples remembered the discourse in which the Lord had foretold that He was about to suffer many things from the chief priests and scribes, and therefore in going up to Jerusalem, they were amazed. And this is what is meant, when it is said, “And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus went before them.”.
Either lest they themselves should perish with Him, or at all events lest He, whose life and ministry was their joy, should fall under the hand of His enemies. But the Lord, foreseeing that the minds of His disciples would be troubled by His Passion, foretells to them both the pain of His Passion, and the glory of His Resurrection. Wherefore there follows: “And He took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto Him.”
