Matthew 20:17
Douay-Rheims
And Jesus going up to Jerusalem, took the twelve disciples apart, and said to them:
John Chrysostom (attributed)
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.
