"And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again."
In this quote, Jesus told His apostles that he had, in essence, come to Jerusalem to be crucified and sacrificed for all the sins of mankind.
What a horrible thing for Jesus, the man, but what a glorious and wonderful thing for those of us whom have placed our faith in Him.~
