for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, “The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he is killed, after three days he will rise.”
Here, I. Christ foretels his own approaching sufferings. He passed through Galilee with more expedition than usual, and would not that any man should know of it (Mar 9:30); because he had done many mighty and good works among them in vain, they shall not be invited to see them and have the benefit of them, as they have been.
Commenting on Mark 9:30-40
For he taught his disciples, and said unto them,.... What he had some little time before suggested to them; see Mar 8:31. The son of man is delivered into the hands of men: in one of Beza's copies it is read, "sinful men", as in Luk 24:7 and so the Persic version reads here, and adds rebellious.
Verse 31. Is delivered. Is given to me to make atonement by his sufferings and death, and will in due time be taken and killed.
