Mat 20:17. Ἀναβαίνων, as He was going up) A very memorable journey, in which great and various emotions were manifested.-παρέλαβε, κ.τ.λ., He took, etc.) He propounded the subject, not as in His daily conversation, but more solemnly.[884]
[884] Viz. in this His third announcement of His coming death, etc.-V. g. Of the preceding declarations as to His approaching Passion, the one had been made after the confession of the disciples, the other after the Transfiguration on the Mount (which was attended with an universal admiration of His works, Luk 9:43-44; Luk 9:35; Mar 9:15): a third is now added of His own accord, more solemn than the rest.-Harm., p. 432.
