Context of Matthew 20:18

16“So the last will be first, and the first last.” 17Now as Yeshua was going up to Jerusalem, He took the Twelve aside privately; and on the way he told them, “Look, we’re going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be handed over to the ruling kohanim and Torah scholars. They will condemn Him to death 19and hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify. Yet on the third day, He will be raised up.” 20Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came with her sons to Yeshua, and she was kneeling down and asking something from Him.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 17-19Verses 17-19 Christ is more particular here in foretelling his sufferings than before.
