Luke 9:44

“Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men.”

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — Jesus addresses His disciples immediately after they marvel at His works, warning them of His impending arrest.

The words — θέσθε (thesthe) = “do implant in yourself” and λόγους (logous) = “words” command the listeners to internalize the coming event.

The thread — This prediction aligns with Luke 9:22’s declaration that the Son of Man must suffer, and finds its fulfillment in Acts 2:23’s account of His delivery by God’s plan through human hands.

Why it lands — The text states the Son of Man will be handed over to men, demanding recognition of His impending arrest rather than immediate theological comprehension.
