The disciples’ lack of understanding
The article explores differences in the disciples' understanding of Jesus' words according to Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It argues that Matthew shows their sadness arising from a partial understanding of his death, while Mark and Luke indicate their lack of understanding of the resurrection. These complementary accounts enrich understanding of this event.
Luke 9.43-45 (King James Version) :And they were all amazed at the mighty power of God. But while they wondered every one at all things which Jesus did, he said unto his disciples,Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of men.But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask him of that saying.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
