Jesus redefines greatness in His second prediction of the Passion. After His transfiguration, He pulls the Twelve aside to teach them an unexpected truth—true greatness comes through humility and the cross. Diving deep into our Gospel, we’ll explore the loaded Greek word "paradidomi," which reveals Jesus' active rather than passive choice to give Himself up. We’ll take a closer look at the first century background and symbolism of Our Lord’s gentle gesture towards children and we’ll uncover the dual meaning of one Aramaic word that reinforces our Gospel message.
