Luke 18:32

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 18:31-34

Here is, I. The notice Christ gave to his disciples of his sufferings and death approaching, and of the glorious issue of them, which he himself had a perfect sight and foreknowledge of, and thought it necessary to give them warning of, that it might be the less surprise and terror to them. Two things here are which we had not in the other evangelists:?1. The sufferings of Christ are here spoken of as the fulfilling of the scriptures, with which consideration Christ reconciled himself to them,... read more

18:31-34 Jesus took the Twelve and said to them, "Look you--we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that was written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled. He will be handed over to the gentiles; and he will be mocked and cruelly treated; and spat upon; and they will scourge him and kin him; and on the third day he will rise again." But they did not understand these things; this word was hidden from them; and they did not grasp what was being said. There are two... read more

The Syriac and Persic versions leave out this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 18:31-34

God's concealing kindness, etc. The clear prevision which the Lord Jesus Christ had of the future which was before him may suggest to us the thought— I. GOD 'S KINDNESS IS CONCEALMENT . We often try to forecast the future, and sometimes wish that we could do so less imperfectly than we can. But our very inability to do this is to us a valuable shield that saves us from great unhappiness. For who of us would care to proceed at all if he knew all the sorrowful experiences through... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 18:31-43

Blindness, mental and physical. Having spoken to the disciples about recompense, he balances his consolation by giving them fair warning of his own approaching humiliation and death. But they were so infatuated about the honours that they were totally blind to the humiliation. Christ's words were no better than idle tales to them. It suggests— I.

For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: and they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again . The outlines of the Passion he had sketched for the disciples before on two occasions, But never so clearly as now.

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 18:31-34

Luke 18:31-34. Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, &c. See notes on Matthew 22:17-19; Mark 10:32-34. They understood none of these things They could not but understand the literal meaning of what our Lord said. But as they could not reconcile this to their preconceived opinion of the Messiah’s kingdom, they were utterly at a loss in what parabolical, or figurative sense to take what he said concerning his sufferings; having their thoughts still taken up with the temporal kingdom. read more

Jesus, by using the words ‘cup’ and... read more
