Jesus Again Predicts His Death and Resurrection

30 Then they departed from there and passed through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know it.
31 aFor He taught His disciples and said to them, “The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will bkill Him. And after He is killed, He will crise the third day.”  
32 aBut they did not understand this saying, and were afraid to ask Him.  

Who Is the Greatest?

33 aThen He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house He asked them, “What was it you1 disputed among yourselves on the road?”  
34 But they kept silent, for on the road they had adisputed among themselves who would be the bgreatest.

Mark 9:32

But they understood not - This whole verse is wanting in two MSS., in the first edition of Erasmus, and in that of Aldus. Mill approves of the omission. It does not appear likely, from Matthew' s account, that three of the disciples, Peter, James, and John, could be ignorant of the reasons of Christ' s death and resurrection, after the transfiguration; on the contrary, from the circumstances there related, it is very probable that from that time they must have had at least a general understanding of this important subject; but the other nine might have been ignorant of this matter, who were not present at the transfiguration; probably it is of these that the evangelist speaks here. See the observations on the transfiguration, Matthew 17:9 (note), etc., and Matthew 18:1 (note).
