Mark 10:32-34
32 Now they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was going before them; and they were amazed. And as they followed they were afraid. Then He took the twelve aside again and began to tell them the things that would happen to Him: 33 “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and to the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and deliver Him to the Gentiles; 34 and they will mock Him, and scourge Him, and spit on Him, and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again.”
Astounded and reverently in awe. After all Jesus did before His followers, they began to feel the presence of God among them. Then Jesus told what the divine plan had coming - He would be betrayed, beaten, killed, and rise again to life. After they witnessed supernatural strength and wisdom, they would see Him seemingly overcome and destroyed; but they did not grasp the hope and power of life from death yet. This is why the resurrection of the Son of God and Man is key, as well as he hope of our own resurrection.
