MATTHEW 17:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:”
As they were gathering in Galilee, Jesus said to them: the Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men. The second passion prediction in Matthew's Gospel: the Son of Man will be delivered (paradidomi — the word used for Judas's betrayal) into the hands of men. The passive will be delivered communicates the divine necessity of the passion alongside the human agency of the betrayal.
