Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
18:31-34 This was Jesus’ last prediction of his suffering and death before entering Jerusalem for his final week of ministry (see also 9:22, 44-45; 17:25). 18:31 Jesus’ death was in fulfillment of all the predictions of the prophets; it was God’s plan (24:25-26, 46; Acts 2:23; 3:18; 4:28). The primary prophecy about the suffering Messiah is Isa 52:13–53:12. Luke also refers to Ps 2 (Acts 4:25-26), Ps 16 (Acts 2:25-28), Ps 118:22 (Luke 20:17), and Isa 50:4-9 (Luke 18:32-33).
