LUKE 18:33 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.”
They will flog him and kill him. On the third day he will rise again — flogging and killing: the specific Roman execution procedures. On the third day he will rise again: the resurrection prediction is the constant conclusion to the passion predictions. The sequence of humiliation → death → resurrection is the redemptive logic.
Church Fathers on Luke 18:33
The Savior foreseeing that the hearts of His disciples would be troubled at His Passion, tells them long before-hand both the suffering of His Passion and the glory of His Resurrection.
And knowing that there would arise certain heretics, saying, that Christ taught things contrary to the Law and the Prophets, He shows already that the voices of the Prophets had proclaimed the accomplishment of His Passion, and the glory which should follow.
He speaks with His disciples apart, concerning His Passion. For it was not fitting to publish this word to the multitudes, lest they should be troubled, but to His disciples He foretold it, that being habituated by expectation, they might be the more able to bear it.
