As Jesus was going up to Jerusalem The phrase "going up to Jerusalem" is significant both geographically and spiritually. Geographically, Jerusalem is situated on a hill, so one would literally go "up" to reach it. Spiritually, Jerusalem is the center of Jewish worship and the location of the Temple, making it a focal point for Jesus' mission. The Greek word for "going up" (ἀναβαίνω, anabainō) often implies an ascent, not just in physical terms but also in terms of purpose and destiny. Jesus' journey to Jerusalem is a deliberate move towards the fulfillment of His redemptive work, underscoring His obedience to the Father's will. He took the twelve disciples aside and said to them on the way Persons / Places / Events 1. JesusThe central figure of the New Testament, the Son of God, who is on His way to fulfill His mission of salvation through His death and resurrection. 2. The Twelve Disciples The close followers of Jesus, chosen by Him to learn from His teachings and to carry on His mission after His ascension. 3. Jerusalem The city that holds significant religious importance, being the center of Jewish worship and the location where Jesus would face His crucifixion and resurrection. 4. The Journey This event takes place as Jesus and His disciples are traveling to Jerusalem, a journey that signifies the approach of Jesus' passion and the fulfillment of prophecy. Teaching Points Understanding Jesus' MissionJesus' journey to Jerusalem was intentional and prophetic, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah's suffering and redemption. The Importance of Discipleship Jesus took His disciples aside to teach them privately, illustrating the importance of intimate teaching and preparation for future ministry. Courage and Obedience Jesus' determination to go to Jerusalem despite knowing the suffering that awaited Him serves as a model of courage and obedience to God's will. Prophecy and Fulfillment This passage highlights the fulfillment of prophecy, reinforcing the reliability of Scripture and God's sovereign plan. Preparation for Trials Just as Jesus prepared His disciples for the events to come, believers are called to be spiritually prepared for trials and challenges in their own lives.(17) And Jesus going up to Jerusalem.--The narrative is not continuous, and in the interval between Matthew 20:16-17 we may probably place our Lord's "abode beyond Jordan" (John 10:40), the raising of Lazarus, and the short sojourn in the city called Ephraim (John 11:54). This would seem to have been followed by a return to Persea, and then the journey to Jerusalem begins. The account in St. Mark adds some significant facts. "Jesus went" (literally, was going--implying continuance) "before them." It was as though the burden of the work on which He was entering pressed heavily on His soul. The shadow of the cross had fallen on Him. He felt something of the conflict which reached its full intensity in Gethsemane, and therefore He needed solitude that He might prepare Himself for the sacrifice by communing with His Father; and instead of journeying with the disciples and holding "sweet converse" with them, went on silently in advance. This departure from His usual custom, and, it may be, the look and manner that accompanied it, impressed the disciples, as was natural, very painfully. "They were amazed, and as they followed, were afraid." It was apparently as explaining what had thus perplexed them that He took the Twelve apart from the others that followed (including probably the Seventy and the company of devout women of Luke 8:2) and told them of the nearness of His passion.Verses 17-19 - Third and fuller prediction of Jesus sufferings and death. (Mark 10:32-34; Luke 18:31-34.) Verse 17. - Going up. This is the usual expression for travelling to the capital, and was particularly appropriate to a journey to Jerusalem, which was set among hills. This last journey of the Redeemer was indeed a steep ascent, the end of which was Calvary. Took (παρέλαβε, took to himself)... apart (κατ ἰδίαν). He was accompanied by many followers, but what he had now to impart was not intended to be divulged to all, but was reserved for the chosen twelve. The mass could not have heard it without offence. In the way. The Vulgate omits these words. The Revised Version, on good authority, alters the received order, reading, and in the way he said unto them. Thus Christ prepared the apostles for the coming time of trial, after they had shown fuller faith in his Godhead. Parallel Commentaries ...
