We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles — the third passion prediction adds specific details absent from the first two: the Jerusalem destination, the specific agents (chief priests, teachers of law), the Jewish condemnation, the handover to the Gentiles. The specificity of the prediction, confirmed by the passion narrative of chapters 14–15, communicates divine foreknowledge and voluntary acceptance.
