"[saying], Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles:" — Mark 10:33 (ASV)
[Saying], behold we go up to Jerusalem
They were now upon the road thither.
And the son of man ;
meaning himself,
shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the Scribes ;
by the determinate counsel, and foreknowledge of God, and by the means of a treacherous disciple of his, Judas. The Vulgate Latin version adds, "and to the elders"; but this is not in any of the copies, nor in other versions:
and they shall condemn him to death ;
as they did in the palace of the high priest, "nemine contradicente"; see (Mark 14:64) ,
and shall deliver him to the Gentiles ;
the Romans, to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor; either because they had not then power to put him to death themselves, or because they were desirous he should die the death of the cross, a Roman punishment.
