Study note

Setting — Jesus addresses His disciples during the journey to Jerusalem, immediately after predicting His condemnation by the chief priests and scribes.

The words — The Greek παραδώσουσιν (paradōsousin) literally means "they will deliver over," and ἐμπαῖξαι (empaixai) translates to "to mock."

The thread — This prediction echoes Jesus' earlier teaching in Matthew 16:21 about suffering in Jerusalem and parallels the early church's proclamation of Christ's death and resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15:3.

Why it lands — The text records Jesus' explicit foreknowledge of His Gentile trial, physical abuse, and resurrection, requiring the reader to submit personal ambitions to God's predetermined redemptive sequence.
