Gospel
30They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were, 31because he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise." 32But they did not understand what he meant and were afraid to ask him about it.
33They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, "What were you arguing about on the road?" 34But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest. 35Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all."
36He took a little child and had him stand among them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them, 37"Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me."
Reaction
Even before Jesus was captured there were already so many predictions about his death. However Jesus told in this gospel to be unafraid. I think that even before he was captured Jesus knew that his death will be an answer to our sins. This gospel told me that he's also saying something to all who despise him. For those who welcome him shall also be welcomed and those who oppose him will not be favored by the Lord.
