Luke 18:33

"For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on."

Key Reflection

This passage foreshadows Jesus' impending suffering, highlighting his voluntary submission to persecution and humiliation as part of his mission to fulfill God's plan for redemption. It underscores the extent of rejection he would face, even from non-Israelites, setting the stage for the crucifixion and its redemptive significance.
