Matthew Poole and continuators on Mark 9:32

32 But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him.

Our Saviour, as the time of his suffering approached more nearly, did more frequently inculcate it to his Disciples, that being forewarned, they might also be fore-armed against the Temptation of it, and we learn from Luke 24.21. That all was too little, for when they saw these things come to pass, they began to Flag as to their Faith. They said, v. 21. But we trusted it had been he, who should have Redeemed Israel. Our Saviour, the Son of Man is delivered, which is expounded by Matthew 17.22, 23. The Son of Man shall be betrayed. He was already delivered in the sure Counsel of God, and what God hath revealed, shall be done, because of the certainty of the effect, is often in Scripture spoken of as a thing already done, that Phrase, v. 31. the third Day [non-Latin text not transcribed] expounds that other Phrase which we meet with, Ch. 8.31. [non-Latin text not transcribed] which we Translate after three Days, and makes the meaning of the Evangelist plain to have been, as we determined it.
