“When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem” (v51). Jesus warned his disciples that he was “about to be delivered into the hands of men” (v44), but they were “afraid” to ask him what he meant. They knew their Lord could heal and raise the dead, but they were disturbed by the possibility of his suffering. Jesus told them the truth about following him: it might require homelessness (v58), or the loss of family comforts, or suffering (v59-62). 

“I will follow you wherever you go” (v57). Jesus is the Messiah, the Anointed King who turned the world upside down. He came to serve, not to be served (Mt 20:28), and we follow where he leads.
