Did they understand the full picture of Christ dying on a cross for their sins? Late in His ministry, “Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life” (Matthew 16:21-22).
Sa huling bahagi ng Kanyang ministeryo, "Magmula noon, ipinaalam ni Hesus ang mga bagay na ito sa Kaniyang mga alagad. Sinabi Niya: Kailangan kong pumunta sa Jerusalem. Doon ay magbabata Ako ng maraming pahirap sa kamay ng mga matanda, mga pinunong-saserdote at mga guro ng kautusan. Papatayin nila Ako at muli Akong mabubuhay sa ikatlong araw" (Mateo 16:21).
