The immediately following verse (45) seems to suggest the same thing is going on here that we found in the other passages. Christ goes on to say: but they did not understand this statement, and it was concealed from them so that would not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this statement. In Mk 4:9 ff Christ spoke in parables so that those who are outside would not hear and understand, "otherwise they might return and be forgiven" (Mk 4:12). In Luke 9 it is the disciples who had ears but from whom the understanding was kept hidden, but not for long. It was not until after the death and resurrection of Christ that they understood these words. This is suggested not only by Lk 9:44 (for the Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men), but spelled most explicitly in passages such as Jn 2:22, "So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken (the word regarding the temple being destroyed and His raising it in 3 days, Jn 2:19)."
