Truth 4: The pre-disclosure of his plans …
*Truth #04: JESUS PRE-DISCLOSED HIS PLAN … Jesus informed his disciples of his crucifixion arrangements many times beforehand (see Matthew 16:21, 17:22, 20:18-19, 20:22, 23:34-36, 26:2, 26:6-12, 26:21, 26:24, 26:32, 26:45-46, Mark 8:31-32, 9:31-32, 10:33-34, 14:21, 14:28, Luke 9:22, 9:44, 11:30, 11:49-51, 13:33, 18:31-33, 22:15, John 2:21-22, 3:14, 6:51, 7:33, 8:21, 8:28, 10:11+15, 10:17-18, 12:8, 12:23-25, 12:27, 12:32-33, 14:30, 16:7, 16:16 & 18:11b).
Indeed, Jesus even not-so-subtly implicated himself as the originator of his own “betrayal” (see Matthew 26:23 + Isaiah 53:12, Matthew 26:39-42 + Matthew 27:48, Mark 14:20, Luke 22:21-22, Luke 22:42 & John 13:18), and even his intense weeping in the Garden of Gethsemane evidences that he knew exactly what lay in store; that he new very well the immensely painful crucifixion that was waiting for him – a most torturous event that could very well have (& admittedly might actually have) ended with his own demise (see Matthew 26:36-56, Mark 14:32-52, Luke 22:39-46 & John 26:39-44).
