Then, once more calling to Him the Twelve, He began to tell them what was about to happen to Him. "See," He said, "we are going up to Jerusalem, where the Son of Man will be betrayed to the High Priests and the Scribes. They will condemn Him to death, and will hand Him over to the Gentiles; they will insult Him in cruel sport, spit on Him, scourge Him, and put Him to death; but on the third day He will rise to life again."
Jesus was now going up to Jerusalem, and He took the twelve disciples aside by themselves, and on the way He said to them, "We are going up to Jerusalem, and there the Son of Man will be betrayed to the High Priests and Scribes. They will condemn Him to death, and hand Him over to the Gentiles to be made sport of and scourged and crucified; and on the third day He will be raised to life."
Then He drew the Twelve to Him and said, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything written in the Prophets which refers to the Son of Man will be fulfilled. For He will be given up to the Gentiles, and be mocked, outraged and spit upon. They will scourge Him and put Him to death, and on the third day He will rise to life again." read more.
