Commentary

Commentary on Matthew 20:19

Theological / Devotional

Deliver him. For the first time Jesus specifically mentions the fact that the Gentiles, the Roman authorities, will be instrumental in His death.

To crucify. Three years before, Jesus had told Nicodemus that He must be “lifted up,” thus implying crucifixion (see on John 3:14). Now, for the first time, He clearly foretells the manner of His death.

Third day. See pp. 248-250.
