“The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise” (v6-7). Three times in this chapter, the perplexed (v4), unbelieving (v11), marveling (v12), sad (v17), and hopeless (v21) disciples were reminded that Jesus had said he would suffer, die, and rise on the third day. No one had truly expected the Messiah to die, let alone be resurrected. The disciples thought that Jesus had failed. 

“Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” (v26). Jesus calls us to share his glory by walking the same path. The way of the cross opposes the world; like our Savior, our victory is in sacrifice for the sake of others.
