“For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:”
King James Version (KJV)
18:31 #Mt 20:17|; Mr 10:32.
18:34 They understood none of these things - The literal meaning they could not but understand. But as they could not reconcile this to their preconceived opinion of the Messiah, 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.
