This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Took unto him (paralabōn). Second aorist active participle of paralambanō. Taking along with himself. So Mar 10:32. Mat 20:17 adds kat' idian (apart). Jesus is making a special point of explaining his death to the Twelve.
We go up (anabainomen). Present active indicative, we are going up.
Unto the Son of man (tōi huiōi tou anthrōpou). Dative case of personal interest. The position is amphibolous and the construction makes sense either with “shall be accomplished” (telesthēsetai) or “that are written” (ta gegrammena), probably the former. Compare these minute details of the prophecy here (Luk 18:32.) with the words in Mar 10:33.; Mat 20:18., which see.
