Jesus Again Predicts His Death And Resurrection



As Jesus and his disciples were passing through Galilee, Jesus said to them:

“The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men; and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again.”

The disciples were very sorrowful and did not understand, but they were afraid to ask Jesus to explain the meaning.

Previous Matthew 15:1-20; Mark 7:1-23 Jesus Defends His Disciples for Eating with Unwashed Hands Certain Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem came to Jesus, finding fault that his disciples ate bread with unwashed hands. For, according to tradition long handed down, the Pharisees and Jews could not eat without first washing their hands. There were many other old laws concerning the washing of cups, pots, brass vessels, and tables. The Pharisees and scribes asked Jesus: “Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? They wash not their hands when they eat bread.” Jesus replied: “Well hath Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, “This people honoreth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.’ For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups; and many other such like things ye do.

Previous Matthew 18:1-35; Mark 9:33-50; Luke 9:46-50 Jesus Discusses The Need For Humility Who Is The Greatest In The Kingdom? On their way to Capernaum the disciples argued among themselves. When he was in the house, Jesus asked them: “What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?” The disciples were silent for they had disputed about who was the greatest. Jesus sat down with them and said: “If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.” Then he set a child in the midst of the disciples and, holding him in his arms, he said: “Verily I say unto you, ‘Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of Heaven.’ Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of Heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.” Tolerance Urged John said to Jesus: “Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he f
