Jesus Predicts His Death And Resurrection A Second Time

He told them, “The Son of Man is to be betrayed and handed over to men [who are His enemies], and they will kill Him; and when He has been killed, He will rise [from the dead] three days later.” ³² But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him [what He meant]. ³³ They arrived at Capernaum; and when He was in the house, He asked them, “What were you discussing and arguing about on the road?”
