For my NT reading today, I read Matthew chapters 16 and 17 using the American Standard Version.
Both chapters 16 and 17 of the Gospel of Matthew contain accounts of our Lord telling his disciples that he would go to Jerusalem, to suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and scribes, then to be killed and eventually to be raised by God from the dead.
- Matthew 16:20 - 21 ASV
-
20 Then charged he the disciples that they should tell no man that he was
the Christ.
21 From that time began Jesus to show unto his disciples, that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and the third day be raised up - Matthew 17:22 - 23 ASV
-
22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man
shall be delivered up into the hands of men;
23 and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were exceeding sorry.
The disciples were told again by our Lord of his impending suffering, death and resurrection in Matthew chapter 20, while they were on the way to Jerusalem.
- Matthew 20:18 - 19 JND
-
18 Behold we go up to Jerusalem, and the Son of man will be delivered up to
the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death;
19 and they will deliver him up to the nations to mock and to scourge and to crucify, and the third day he shall rise again.
