From that time Jesus began telling his followers that he must go to Jerusalem. Jesus explained that the older Jewish leaders, the leading priests, and the teachers of the law would make him suffer many things. And Jesus told his followers that he must be killed. Then, on the third day, he would be raised from death.
Those men will kill the Son of Man. But on the third day the Son of Man will be raised from death.” The followers were very sad \{to hear that Jesus would be killed\}.
They will give the Son of Man to the non-Jewish people. Those people will laugh at him and beat him with whips, and then they will kill him on a cross. But on the third day after his death, he will be raised to life again.”
So give the order for the tomb to be guarded well until after three days. His followers might come and try to steal the body. Then they could tell the people that he has risen from death. That lie will be even worse than what they said about him before.”
Those people will laugh at him and spit on him. They will beat him with whips and kill him. But on the third day after his death, he will rise to life again.”
Then Jesus began to teach his followers that the Son of Man {\cf2\super [101]} must suffer many things. Jesus taught that the Son of Man would not be accepted by the older Jewish leaders, the leading priests, and the teachers of the law. Jesus taught that the Son of Man must be killed and then rise from death after three days.
Jesus wanted to teach his followers alone. Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man {\cf2\super [112]} will be given to people that will kill him. After three days, he will rise from death.”
Then Jesus talked to the twelve apostles {\cf2\super [292]} alone. Jesus said to them, “Listen! We are going to Jerusalem. Everything that God told the prophets {\cf2\super [293]} to write about the Son of Man {\cf2\super [294]} will happen!
They began to accuse Jesus. They told Pilate, “We caught this man trying to change the thinking of our people. He says we should not pay taxes to Caesar. {\cf2\super [369]} He calls himself the Christ, {\cf2\super [370]} a king.”
Then Jesus said, “The Son of Man {\cf2\super [170]} must suffer many things. He will be rejected by the older Jewish leaders, the leading priests, and teachers of the law. The Son of Man will be killed. But after three days he will be raised from death.”
There was a large group of people there. Many of these people were talking secretly to each other about Jesus. Some people said, “He is a good man.” But other people said, “No, he fools the people.”
Some people honor us, but other people shame us. Some people say good things about us, but other people say bad things. Some people say we are liars, but we speak the truth.
