Jesus Predicts His Death^(A)

²¹ From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem^(B) and suffer many things^(C) at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,^(D) and that he must be killed^(E) and on the third day^(F) be raised to life.^(G)

¹² When he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer.^(A)

²² And he said, “The Son of Man^(A) must suffer many things^(B) and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,^(C) and he must be killed^(D) and on the third day^(E) be raised to life.”^(F)

²³ But with loud shouts they insistently demanded that he be crucified, and their shouts prevailed.

³² The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about him. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest him.

³ So Judas came to the garden, guiding^(A) a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees.^(B) They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.

⁶ As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!”

But Pilate answered, “You take him and crucify him.^(A) As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him.”^(B)
