‏ Matthew 20:17-19

 Apart ( κατ' ιδιαν ). This is the prediction in Matthew of the cross (16:21; 17:22; 20:17). "Aside by themselves" (Moffatt). The verb is  παρελαβεν. Jesus is having his inward struggle (Mr 10:32) and makes one more effort to get the Twelve to understand him.

 And to crucify ( κα σταυρωσα ). The very word now. The details fall on deaf ears, even the point of the resurrection on the third day.
