Mark 10:34They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. On the third day he will rise again."
The setting
Still on the Jerusalem road. Jesus describes Roman torture methods in graphic detail, then adds the hope of resurrection...
The emotion here: unflinching honesty mixed with unshakeable hope
The original word
anastēsetai (ἀναστήσεται) — will stand up again, rise from the dead
Why it matters
Roman scourging used leather whips embedded with bone and metal that often killed before crucifixion
Read with care
What most readers miss in Mark 10:34
