Commentary
Commentary on Luke 9:45
Theological / DevotionalIt was hid. Not because Jesus willed that it should be, for upon repeated occasions He endeavored to make the matter clear. It was hid, rather, because of their own refusal to understand (see on Mark 9:32). They did not desire to understand, and as a result they could not (see on Matt. 13:13).
That they perceived it not. “That,” Gr. hina, as used here, indicates result rather than purpose: “as a result of which” rather than “in order that.” A good illustration of the use of hina to indicate result rather than purpose occurs in 1 Thess. 5:4 (cf. Rom. 11:11; Gal. 5:17; Luke 1:43; John 6:7).
