When we get to Jerusalem, the Son of Man will be betrayed to the leading priests and the teachers of religious law. They will sentence him to die. Then they will hand him over to the Romans to be mocked, flogged with a whip, and crucified. But on the third day he will be raised from the dead.
Jesus is speaking to His disciples, predicting His own suffering, death, and resurrection as they are on their way to Jerusalem.
