Notes

Mark 10:33

  • The leading priests and the teachers of the law were the human means by which God’s plan was carried out through their hatred of Jesus.

  • The Jewish leaders did not have authority to carry out capital punishment (the death penalty) under Roman rule (John 18:31). So they handed Jesus over to the Romans, who carried out the execution.

Mark 10:32–34

The disciples’ amazement and the people’s fear made them worried about what would happen next. The religious leaders in Jerusalem were already hostile toward Jesus (see 3:22–30; 7:1–13).

Jesus took the disciples aside again and described the coming events in more detail than before (see also 8:31; 9:31). He knew what was about to happen. What awaited him in Jerusalem was not a tragedy or an accident, but part of God’s plan (see 8:31–33; Acts 4:27–28). As the Son of God, Jesus understood that he would die a unique death as the Savior of the world.
