Commentary

Commentary on Mark 9:31

Theological / Devotional

He taught. Literally, “He was teaching,” that is, He kept on teaching. This is the second of at least three specific occasions on which Jesus told the disciples plainly of His coming sufferings and death (cf. on Matt. 16:21; 20:17-19). There were no doubt other times when Jesus gave them similar instruction, as implied by Matt. 16:21. The desire to be alone with His disciples in order that He might impart this information to them apparently accounts for the secrecy with which Jesus now went about Galilee (see on Mark 9:30; cf. DA 432).

Son of man. See on Matt. 1:1; Mark 2:10.

The third day. See on pp. 248-250.
