32 He will be delivered over to the Gentiles. They will mock him, insult him and spit on him;
32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
32 For he will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and shamefully treated and spit upon.
32 He will be handed over to the Romans, jeered at, made sport of, and spit on. Then, after giving him the third degree, they will kill him.
32 For He will be delivered to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon.
32 He will be handed over to the Romans, and he will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit upon.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 18:32
Commentary on Luke 18:31-34
(Read Luke 18:31-34)
The Spirit of Christ, in the Old Testament prophets, testified beforehand his sufferings, and the glory that should follow, 1 Peter 1:11. The disciples' prejudices were so strong, that they would not understand these things literally. They were so intent upon the prophecies which spake of Christ's glory, that they overlooked those which spake of his sufferings. People run into mistakes, because they read their Bibles by halves, and are only for the smooth things. We are as backward to learn the proper lessons from the sufferings, crucifixion, and resurrection of Christ, as the disciples were to what he told them as to those events; and for the same reason; self-love, and a desire of worldly objects, close our understandings.
