Philip Schaff's Popular Commentary (4 vols)

Luke 9:44

Luke 9:44. Let these sayings, etc. The original gives an emphasis brought out by rendering as follows: ‘As for you, let,' etc. The disciples are meant. From Mark 9:31 we infer that, during the journey, our Lord gave repeated and extended intimations of His death, to prepare His disciples for the journey towards Jerusalem. ‘These sayings' refers to these intimations.

For the Son of man shall be, ‘is about to be,' etc. They should take heed, because the time of fulfilment was approaching. Others refer ‘these sayings' to the eulogies of the people (Luke 9:43). ‘The disciples are to bear in memory these admiring speeches on account of the contrast in which His own fate would now appear with the same. These are therefore to build no hopes upon them.' Meyer. But the very next paragraph shows that they already overestimated worldly applause, and the contrast is far from being obvious.
