Matthew 20:17 Douay-Rheims

And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart, and said to them:

John Chrysostom (attributed)

Patristic

That word Behold, is a word of stress, to bid them lay up in their hearts the memory of this present. He says, We go up; as much as to say, Ye see that I go of My free-will to death. “When then ye shall see Me hang upon the cross, deem not that I am no more than man; for though to be able to die is human; yet to be willing to die is more than human.
