SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:45
Mas ellos no entendían esta palabra, y les era encubierta para que no la entendiesen; y temían preguntarle sobre ella.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 9:45
Verse 45. But they understood not] See the note on Mark ix. 32.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 43-50 - This prediction of Christ's sufferings was plain enough, but the disciples would not understand it, because it agreed not with their notions. A little child is the emblem by which Christ teaches u simplicity and humility. What greater honour can any man attain to in this world, than to be received by men as a messenger of God an Christ; and to have God and Christ own themselves received and welcome in him! If ever any society of Christians in this world, had reason to silence those not of their own communion, the twelve disciples at thi time had; yet Christ warned them not to do the like again. Those may be found faithful followers of Christ, and may be accepted of him, who d not follow with us.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
9:45 {It was concealed from them} (en parakekalummenon ap' autwn). Periphrastic past perfect of parakaluptw, a common verb, but only here in the N.T., to cover up, to hide from. this item only in Luke. {That they should not perceive it} (hina me aisqwntai auto). Second aorist middle subjunctive of the common verb aisqanomai used with hina me, negative purpose. this explanation at least relieves the disciples to some extent of full responsibility for their ignorance about the death of Jesus as #Mr 9:32 observes, as does Luke here that they were afraid to ask him. Plummer says, "They were not allowed to understand the saying qen, in order that they might remember it afterwards, and see that Jesus had met His sufferings with full knowledge and free will." Perhaps also, if they had fully understood, they might have lacked courage to hold on to the end. But it is a hard problem.
