Jesus's Courageous Leadership
Multiple commentators emphasize that Jesus wasn't just walking with the disciples; He was striding out ahead of them as a fearless leader. He knew exactly what awaited Him in Jerusalem—betrayal, mockery, and death—yet He went forward with solemn determination. Scholars note this act of courage was meant to inspire His followers, serving as a timeless example for believers that Jesus goes before them in their own trials.
