Jesus Again Talks About His Death^(A)

³⁰ Then Jesus and his ·followers [disciples] left that place and went through Galilee. He didn’t want anyone to know where he was, ³¹ because he was teaching his ·followers [disciples]. He said to them, “The Son of Man will be ·handed over [delivered over; betrayed] to ·people [^Lhuman hands], and they will kill him [^Cthe “handing over” may be Judas’ betrayal or God’s actions in “giving up” his Son to accomplish salvation; Rom. 4:25]. After three days, he will rise from the dead.”
