¶ Y subiendo Jess a Jerusaln, tom sus doce discípulos aparte en el camino, y les dijo:
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 20:17
Verse 17. And Jesus going up] From Jericho to Jerusalem, See "chap. xix. 15".
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. And Jesus going up to Jerusalem , etc.] Which was situated in the highest part of the land of Israel: the land of Israel, is said to be higher than any other land whatever; and the temple at Jerusalem, higher than any part of the land of Israel; wherefore Christs going to Jerusalem, is expressed by going up to it. Whither he came either from the coasts of Judea, from beyond Jordan, ( Matthew 19:1) where he had been some time healing diseases, disputing with the Pharisees, discoursing with the young ruler, and instructing his disciples; or from a country near to the wilderness, from a city called Ephraim, ( John 11:54) where he continued some time with his disciples, after the sanhedrim had took counsel to put him to death; for this was his last journey to Jerusalem. Took the twelve disciples apart in the way : into some private place, which lay near the road; for it seems that there were others that followed him, besides the twelve; when he was not willing they should hear what he had to say to them, concerning the issue of this, journey; lest either they should be discouraged and desert him, or it should be made public, and methods be used to prevent it: and said unto them; the disciples, whom he thought fit once more to remind of his sufferings and death, and to prepare them for the same; and though they would not so thoroughly understand all that he should say, yet when it was come to pass, they would remember it, and which would be of service to confirm their faith in him, as the true Messiah. See Gill Mark 10:32 .
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-19 - Christ is more particular here in foretelling his sufferings tha before. And here, as before, he adds the mention of his resurrectio and his glory, to that of his death and sufferings, to encourage his disciples, and comfort them. A believing view of our once crucified an now glorified Redeemer, is good to humble a proud, self-justifyin disposition. When we consider the need of the humiliation an sufferings of the Son of God, in order to the salvation of perishin sinners, surely we must be aware of the freeness and richness of Divin grace in our salvation.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
20:17 {Apart} (kat' idian). this is the prediction in Matthew of the cross (#16:21; 17:22; 20:17). "Aside by themselves" (Moffatt). The verb is parelaben. Jesus is having his inward struggle (#Mr 10:32) and makes one more effort to get the Twelve to understand him.
