~ Again, Jesus Predicts His Death ~

They were on their way up to Jerusalem,
with Jesus leading the way,
and the disciples were astonished,
while those who followed were afraid.
Again He took the twelve aside
and told them what was going to happen to Him.
"We are going up to Jerusalem," He said,
"and the Son of Man will be betrayed
to the chief priests and teachers of the law.
They will condemn Him to death
and will hand Him over to the Gentiles,
who will mock Him and spit on Him,
flog Him and kill Him.
Three days later He will rise."

(Mark 10:32-34)
