Context of Luke 18:35

33They will hit me with whips and then they will kill me. But after three days, I will become alive again.’ 34The 12 disciples did not understand any of these things. What Jesus said did not mean anything to them. So they did not know what Jesus was talking about. When Jesus was getting near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the side of the road. He was asking people to give him money. 36Then he heard a large crowd of people as they went along the road. So he asked the people near him what was happening. 37They told him, ‘Jesus from Nazareth is walking past.’
