Luke 9:43-44

Luke 9:43-44

[43] And  all  amazed  at  the mighty power  of God.  But  while they wondered  every one  at  all things  which  did,  he said  unto  his  disciples,  [44] sayings  sink down  into  ears:  for  the Son  of man  shall be  delivered  into  the hands  of men. 

What does Luke 9:43-44 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The reaction of the crowd to Jesus" exorcism ( Luke 9:43 a) was typical of the reaction of the multitudes as He continued to minister ( Luke 9:43 b). In the context of this popular approval, Jesus revealed again to His disciples that it would not continue. He prefaced His announcement with a demand for attention that sets their incomprehension off more strikingly. This announcement contained new information about His passion, namely, that someone-a human being, but ultimately God-would hand Jesus over to His enemies (cf. Romans 4:25; Romans 8:31-32). Jesus" use of the title "Son of Man" ( Luke 9:44) intensified the horror of such a prospect.
