In biblical times, the act of listening was not just about hearing but understanding and internalizing the message. Jesus often used similar expressions to stress the significance of His teachings (e.g., <a href="/matthew/11-15.htm">Matthew 11:15</a>, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear"). This call to attention suggests that what follows is crucial for the disciples' understanding of His mission and the unfolding of God's plan.The Son of Man: This title, "Son of Man," is one Jesus frequently used for Himself, drawing from <a href="/daniel/7-13.htm">Daniel 7:13-14</a>, where it describes a messianic figure endowed with authority and glory.

This foreshadows His betrayal and arrest, which are central to the Passion narrative.

This aligns with prophecies such as <a href="/isaiah/53.htm">Isaiah 53</a>, which speaks of the suffering servant who is "despised and rejected by men."into the hands of men: This phrase highlights the human agency involved in Jesus' impending suffering and death. It reflects the reality of His betrayal by Judas, His trial by Jewish and Roman authorities, and His crucifixion. The "hands of men" signifies the earthly powers and authorities that will play a role in His Passion. This also contrasts with His divine nature, emphasizing the humility and submission of Jesus to the Father's will, as seen in <a href="/philippians/2-7.htm">Philippians 2:7-8</a>, where He "humbled Himself by becoming obedient to death."<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a> The central figure in this passage, referred to as the "Son of Man," a title emphasizing both His humanity and His divine mission. 2. <a href="/topical/t/the_disciples.htm">The Disciples</a> The immediate audience of Jesus' words, tasked with understanding and later spreading His teachings. 3. <a href="/topical/t/the_son_of_man.htm">The Son of Man</a> A Messianic title used by Jesus, rooted in <a href="/daniel/7-13.htm">Daniel 7:13-14</a>, indicating His role in God's redemptive plan. 4. <a href="/topical/t/the_event_of_betrayal.htm">The Event of Betrayal</a> Jesus predicts His betrayal, a pivotal moment leading to His crucifixion and resurrection. 5. <a href="/topical/t/the_hands_of_men.htm">The Hands of Men</a> Symbolic of human authority and the impending suffering Jesus would endure at the hands of sinful humanity.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/u/understanding_prophecy.htm">Understanding Prophecy</a> Jesus' prediction of His betrayal is a reminder of the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies.
