I Asked You Not To Tell Me That

When Jesus told the disciples about His coming suffering and crucifixion, it would have be hard not to understand what He said. If they had any questions they knew they were free to ask Him about it just as they had on other occasions in the past. However, this time, as Mark points out, “They were afraid to ask Him about it.” A closer look at the context reveals why. It's the same temptation that faces us today.
