  5. Jesus' References to his Impending Death Jesus' Three Predictions of his Death and Resurrection in the Synoptic Gospels Mark 8:31 He then began to teach them that the son of man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. Mark 9:30 They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were, 31 because he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, "The son of man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise." 32 But they did not understand what he meant and were afraid to ask him about it.

Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will." 41b The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. What does Jesus mean by his “hour”? What does this imply about Jesus’ self-understanding?

  8. Jesus' References to his Impending Death Jesus' Prediction of his Death in the Gospel of John John 2:19: Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."20 The Jews then said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?" 21 But he spoke of the temple of his body. 22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this; and they believed the scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken. John 3:14: Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up. John 7:6, 8, 30; 8:20; 12:23: Jesus’ “time” (kairos) and “hour” (hora) How does Jesus understand his death in these passages?

John 10:11: I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep….15 I lay down my life for the sheep. John 12:5, 7: Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to poor people?....Let her alone, in order that she may keep it for the day of my burial.
