Prophesy retold, again
Prophesy retold, again
As a parent have you had to tell, tell and tell again? Of course you did, so don’t be surprised that Jesus does the same thing with His apostles. The importance of His passion is necessary, should be stressed. As should we when we share Jesus fulfillment of the prophesy that is being retold here.
Jesus has predicted His passion and His resurrection previously
In area of Caesarea Philippi, stressing the necessity of it (Mk8:27, 31)
27 Jesus went out, along with His disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He questioned His disciples, saying to them, “Who do people say that I am?”
31 And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
While travelling through Galilee, stressing the certainty of it (Mk9:30-31)
30 From there they went out and began to go through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know about it.
While travelling through Galilee, stressing the certainty of it (Mk9:31)
31 For He was teaching His disciples and telling them, “The Son of Man is to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and when He has been killed, He will rise three days later.”
Is to be, They will kill, He will rise! Now that is certainty!
Now on the road up to Jerusalem, stressing more details of it (Mk10:32-34) which we will get to in just a few minutes
May we remember that Jesus is fully man, He feels, has cares, concerns, and He knows what is coming, what is pending and what He must do so that we can have salvation free! -
Have you ever been scheduled for a surgery in advance and do you remember feeling a little stress or anxiety before the procedure or leading up to the procedure? Jesus in the flesh had to have, had to face stress, anxiety of some sort, to some extent as He heads to the cross.
This morning we are going to look at
The setting
The prediction and the fulfillment of the prophesy
The remembrance and the reaction
Mk10:32
32 They were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking on ahead of them; and they were amazed, and those who followed were fearful. And again He took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him, 33 saying, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and will hand Him over to the Gentiles.
34 “They will mock Him and spit on Him, and scourge Him and kill Him, and three days later He will rise again.”
What do you see, what do you notice, what sticks out to you?
The Setting
The Setting
If you want to describe something, you normally need to set up for it, to give the setting of it, so there are things we can get regarding the setting of passage from the passage to the passion that we can learn from, remember and grow from.
They were on the road to Jerusalem (Mk10:32; Mk10:1; Mk10:46)
They were beyond the Jordon
1 Getting up, He went from there to the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan; crowds gathered around Him again, and, according to His custom, He once more began to teach them.
They came via Jericho
46 Then they came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road.
This is Jesus last trip to Jerusalem.
Notice the order in which they walked (Mk10:32 from NASB, NLT)
32 They were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking on ahead of them; and they were amazed, and those who followed were fearful. And again He took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him,
what was the order?
what was the order?
Look what more is said in the NLT
32 They were now on the way up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. The disciples were filled with awe, and the people following behind were overwhelmed with fear. Taking the twelve disciples aside, Jesus once more began to describe everything that was about to happen to him.
Notice the attitudes as they walked (Mk10:32; Lk9:51, Jn9:22; Jn11:8)
Jesus had steadfast determination
51 When the days were approaching for His ascension, He was determined to go to Jerusalem;
Disciples were filled with awe
The people filled with fear
22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ, he was to be put out of the synagogue.
8 The disciples said to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now seeking to stone You, and are You going there again?”
Fear knowing what was waiting for Jesus, what was waiting for the disciples. Are you one who is ready to walk into danger? Jesus was they knew it and they also knew what could come of them and yet they went. May we be willing to do that too, walk into danger of being rejected, being ostracized, being alienated or even shunned because of your belief.
From there in looking at (v.32) we see that Jesus takes the Apostles off privately, which is common at this time since time is short and teaching, reminding is important so they can carry off after He is gone. This brings us to the next point.
The Prediction & touch on fulfillment
The Prediction & touch on fulfillment
The prediction is the prophesy being foretold. A reminder of what was to come so they were not taken off guard, even though He has told them previously.
33 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and deliver Him to the Gentiles; 34 and they will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again.”
Now, without looking at your outline, only looking at your bible or the screen, what things can we know that is being told?
They were going to Jerusalem (Mk10:33); fulfillment (Mk14:53)
There was no doubt they were going to get there, and all the things following were going to happen.
He will be betrayed (Mk10:33); fulfillment (Mk14:41-46)
Side note, not on your outline, only the Romans had the authority to condemn to death (Jn18:31)
31 So Pilate said to them, “Take Him yourselves, and judge Him according to your law.” The Jews said to him, “We are not permitted to put anyone to death,”
and the fulfillment
41 And He came the third time, and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough; the hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 “Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!”
43 Immediately while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came up accompanied by a crowd with swords and clubs, who were from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44 Now he who was betraying Him had given them a signal, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him and lead Him away under guard.”
45 After coming, Judas immediately went to Him, saying, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him. 46 They laid hands on Him and seized Him.
Mk14:45-46
He will be condemned (Mk10:33); fulfillment (Mk14:55-64)
As Jesus stood before the whole council heard the lies and said nothing except answering one question which if He did not because of the authority the question was asked under would be sin, here look.
61 But He kept silent and did not answer. Again the high priest was questioning Him, and saying to Him, “Are You the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?”
And Jesus answer
Mk15:
62 And Jesus said, “I am; and you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
He will be mocked (Mk10:34); fulfillment (Mk15:16-20 Mk15:29-32)
He will be mocked (Mk10:34); fulfillment (Mk15:16-20 Mk15:29-32)
The mocking him dressing him, crowning him and beating of him found in the Mk15 passages
He will be whipped (Mk10:34); fulfillment (Mk15:15)
15 Wishing to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas for them, and after having Jesus scourged, he handed Him over to be crucified.
A scourge was made of leather thongs, weighted with sharp pieces of bone or lead, which tore the flesh of both the back and the breast- Vines Bible Encyclopedia
He will be spit on (Mk10:34); fulfillment (Mk14:65; Mk15:19)
65 Some began to spit at Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists, and to say to Him, “Prophesy!” And the officers received Him with slaps in the face.
and add to that
19 They kept beating His head with a reed, and spitting on Him, and kneeling and bowing before Him.
Have you ever been mocked before? It is not fun, and Jesus said nothing.
He will be killed (Mk10:34; Mt20:19); fulfillment (Mk15:24; Mk15:37)
24 And they crucified Him, and divided up His garments among themselves, casting lots for them to decide what each man should take.
and after 6 hours, which is hours less than a normal crucifixion
37 And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed His last.
He will rise on third day (Mk10:34; Jn2:29-22); fulfillment (Mk16:1-7)
He will rise on third day (Mk10:34; Jn2:29-22); fulfillment (Mk16:1-7)
Oh what a glorious fulfillment, have to read it all
1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might come and anoint Him. 2 Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.
3 They were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” 4 Looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, although it was extremely large.
5 Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at the right, wearing a white robe; and they were amazed. 6 And he said to them, “Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; behold, here is the place where they laid Him.
7 “But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see Him, just as He told you.’ ”
Mk16:5-6
The Remembrance and the Reaction
The Remembrance and the Reaction
It is good for us to remember the passion of the Christ, Paul says it is of first importance (1Cor15:3-4); His passion we celebrate (1Cor11:26) each week. And as Jesus told, again the prophesy to be fulfilled there was reaction from the disciples, let’s take a minute here.
3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
1COr
and the celebration, the remembrance until He comes
26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.
In the first prediction look at the reaction (Mk8:31-33)
31 And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32 And He was stating the matter plainly. And Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.
33 But turning around and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind Me, Satan; for you are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but man’s.”
What do you notice about reaction in second prediction (Mk9:31-32)
What do you notice about reaction in second prediction (Mk9:31-32)
31 For He was teaching His disciples and telling them, “The Son of Man is to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and when He has been killed, He will rise three days later.” 32 But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him.
While we see the differences in the first and the second there is no rebuke, there is no dispute and there is no questions in the third one, but what is common is Jesus knew what was to come and willingly was doing to do exactly what He said He would do (Jn10:11) and did it willingly (Jn10:18)

11 “I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
18 “No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.”
Closing thought: How did Jesus go, willingly, knowing what was going to happen? Consider this
2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
It was for His joy!
3 For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
It was for His joy, so we may not grow weary and lose heart.
(Christ on Cross picture here)
Thomas Erdman said this, consider this:
“Let us pause to gaze on that face and form, the Son of God, going with unfaltering step toward the cross! Does it not awaken us to new heroism, as we follow; does it not awaken new love as we see how voluntary was His death for us; yet do we not wonder at the meaning and the mystery of that death?”
