What must the Twelve have thought?

Jesus repeatedly told them that death awaited Him

In these passages He lays it out in detail:
  • going to Jerusalem
  • Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes
  • they will condemn Him to death
  • they will hand Him over to the Gentiles
  • He would be mocked, scourged and crucified
  • on the third day He would rise again.

Jesus told them.
Yet, did they believe?
Their actions betray unbelief, confusion and disbelief.
They were amazed.
They were fearful.
They did not understand these things.
It was hidden from them.
They would eventually understand.

But, on the third day…
The things written through the prophets…
The Son of Man would accomplish.
