43 And they were all astonished at the greatness of God. 9:43 2Pt 1:16
The Second Prediction of His Death
While everyone was amazed at all the things he was doing, 9:43–45 Mt 17:22–23; Mk 9:30–32 he told his disciples, 44 "Let these words sink in: 9:44 Lit "Put these words in your earsThe Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men." 9:44 Lk 9:22
45 But they did not understand this statement; 9:45 Mk 6:52; Lk 2:50; 18:34; 24:25; Jn 10:6; 12:16; 16:17–19 it was concealed from them so that they could not grasp it, 9:45 Lk 18:34; 24:16 and they were afraid to ask him about it.
