Summary

In Mark 8:32, Jesus predicts His own suffering, death, and resurrection to His disciples. This revelation was difficult for them to accept, as they did not fully understand the purpose of Jesus' mission at that time. It serves as a pivotal moment in Jesus' ministry, highlighting the sacrificial nature of His mission on earth. Despite the disciples' initial confusion and resistance to this prophecy, it ultimately foreshadows the redemptive work that Jesus would accomplish through His crucifixion and resurrection.

Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

And he spake that saying - Concerning the certainty and necessity of his sufferings - openly: with great plainness, παρῥησια, confidence, or emphasis, so that the disciples now began fully to understand him. This is an additional observation of St. Mark. For Peter's reproof, see on Mat 16:22 (note), etc.
