on Mark 10:32-34

Our Redeemer, foreseeing that the souls of the disciples would be troubled by His passion, foretold to them long beforehand both the suffering of that same passion and the glory of His resurrection, so that when they saw Him dying, as had been predicted, they would not doubt that He would also rise again. But because the disciples, still carnal, were by no means able to grasp the words of the mystery, a miracle is performed.

This site's exposition

they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid

on Mark 10:32-34

They were amazed, and as they followed, they were afraid captures the whole company's mood on the road, Jesus going before them with a resolve toward Jerusalem the disciples can sense even before he speaks again, and the bench reads the fear as itself evidence they understood more this time than after the first two predictions. The third passion prediction is also the most detailed the book records, the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles, naming a Jewish trial followed by a Gentile execution with a precision the earlier two lacked. They shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him foretells the specific abuses the coming chapters will narrate one by one, and the third day he shall rise again closes the prediction exactly as the first two had, hope stated in the same breath as horror.

Or, He went before them, and therefore they were amazed; they admired to see with what cheerfulness and alacrity he went on, though he knew he was going to suffer and die. Note, Christ's courage and constancy in going on with his undertaking for our salvation, are, and will be, the wonder of all his disciples.

And he took again the twelve - Or thus: For having again taken the twelve, etc. I translate και for, which signification it often bears; see Luk 1:22; Joh 12:35, and elsewhere. This gives the reason of the wonder and fear of the disciples, For he began to tell them on the way, what was to befall him. This sense of και, I find, is also noticed by Rosenmuller. See on Mat 20:17-19 (note).

These artless, lifelike touches--not only from an eye-witness, but one whom the noble carriage of the Master struck with wonder and awe--are peculiar to Mark, and give the second Gospel a charm all its own; making us feel as if we ourselves were in the midst of the scenes it describes.
