NT.filter - rwp Mark:9:31:

rwp@Luke:9:44 @{Sink into your ears} (\Thesthe humeis eis ta ta humn\). Second aorist imperative middle of \tithmi\, common verb. "Do you (note emphatic position) yourselves (whatever others do) put into your ears." No word like "sink" here. The same prediction here as in strkjv@Mark:9:31; strkjv@Matthew:17:22| about the Son of man only without mention of death and resurrection as there, which see for discussion.

rwp@Mark:9:31 @{For he taught} (\edidasken gar\). Imperfect tense, and the reason given for secrecy. He was renewing again definitely the prediction of his death in Jerusalem some six months ahead as he had done before (Mark:8:31; strkjv@Matthew:16:21; strkjv@Luke:9:22|). Now as then Jesus foretells his resurrection "after three days" ("the third day," strkjv@Matthew:17:23|).
