Luke 9:44

44 "Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into human hands."

Luke 9:44 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 9:44

Let these sayings sink down into your ears
The Vulgate Latin, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions read, "in your hearts": Christ's sense is, that they would, diligently attend to them, seriously consider them, and carefully lay them up in their memories; and what he refers to are not the words he had spoken, but what he was about to say; namely, as follow:

for the son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men;
by whom he should be killed, though he should rise again the third day; (See Gill on Matthew 17:22) (See Gill on Matthew 17:23)

Luke 9:44 In-Context

42 While he was coming, the demon dashed him to the ground in convulsions. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the boy, and gave him back to his father.
43 And all were astounded at the greatness of God. While everyone was amazed at all that he was doing, he said to his disciples,
44 "Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into human hands."
45 But they did not understand this saying; its meaning was concealed from them, so that they could not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask him about this saying.
46 An argument arose among them as to which one of them was the greatest.
