GOSPEL PEARLS
The Son of Man is to be handed over to men
"They were afraid to ask him about this saying." (Lk 9:45)
While they were all amazed at his every deed,
Jesus said to his disciples,
“Pay attention to what I am telling you.
The Son of Man is to be handed over to men.”
But they did not understand this saying;
its meaning was hidden from them
so that they should not understand it,
and they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
(Lk 9:43b-45)
