Luke 9:43-45

Luke 9:43-45

[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.  [45] But  they understood not  saying,  and  hid  from  them,  they perceived  it  and  they feared  to ask  him  of  saying. 

What does Luke 9:43-45 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Luke"s narrative joins this event with the preceding one thematically. However the other Synoptics indicate that this conversation took place sometime later ( Matthew 17:22; Mark 9:31). Luke"s construction has the effect of contrasting the wonder of the people with their rejection that resulted in Jesus" sufferings and death. Luke also stressed the fulfillment of divine purpose in Jesus" passion.
