Luke 9:22
Compare all
20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” aPeter answered and said, “The Christ of God.”  

Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection

21 aAnd He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one,  
22 saying, a“The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.”  

Take Up the Cross and Follow Him

23 aThen He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross1 daily, and follow Me.  
24 aFor whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.  
25 aFor what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?  
26 aFor whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him the Son of Man will be bashamed when He comes in His own glory, and in His Father’s, and of the holy angels.  
27 aBut I tell you truly, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God.”  

Jesus Transfigured on the Mount

28 aNow it came to pass, about eight days after these sayings, that He took Peter, John, and James and went up on the mountain to pray.

Luke 9:22

Rejected (apodokimasqhnai). First aorist passive infinitive of apodokimazw, to reject after trial.

The third day (th trith hmerai). Locative case of time as in Matthew 16:21. Here in the parallel passage Mark 8:31 has "after three days" (meta treiv hmerav) in precisely the same sense. That is to say, "after three days" is just a free way of saying "on the third day" and cannot mean "on the fourth day" if taken too literally. For discussion of this plain prediction of the death of Christ with various details see discussion on Matthew 16:21; Mark 8:31. It was a melancholy outlook that depressed the disciples as Mark and Matthew show in the protest of Peter and his rebuke.
