Matthew 20:17-19

Jesus predicts his death the third time Matthew 20:17-19; Mark 10:32-34; Luke 18:31-34; Matthew 20:17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, Mark 10:32 And they were in the way going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and began to tell them what things should happen unto him, Luke 18:31 Then he took [unto him] the twelve, and said unto them, Matthew 20:18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, Mark 10:33 [Saying], Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. Matthew 20:19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, Mark 10:34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, Luke 18:32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: and to crucify [him] : and the third day he shall rise again. and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again. Luke 18:33 And they shall scourge [him], and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. Luke 18:34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
