Luke 18:31-34

Persistent Faith, Humble Mercy, and the King on the Road to Jerusalem

Jesus teaches disciples to persist in prayer, contrasts self-righteousness with humble mercy-seeking, welcomes childlike kingdom receivers, exposes wealth as a rival master, foretells his suffering and resurrection, and gives sight to a blind beggar who recognizes him as Son of David.

31Then Jesus took the Twelve aside and said to them, “Look, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything the prophets have written about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.

32He will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.

33They will flog Him and kill Him, and on the third day He will rise again.”

34But the disciples did not understand any of these things. The meaning was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what He was saying.
