Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth? *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Jesus predicts his second coming and suggests that true faith may be scarce at that time. *Historical context*: This is widely considered an eschatological prophecy concerning the end of the age and the return of Christ (Parousia) which remains unfulfilled in the present day. *Related to*: ### Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: Jesus declares that his journey to Jerusalem will fulfill the ancient prophecies regarding the Messiah's mission and suffering. *Historical context*: This refers to a wide range of Old Testament prophecies including [[Isa|Isaiah 53]], [[Ps|Psalm 22]], and [[Dan|Daniel 7]], which described the rejection and eventual exaltation of God's servant. *Related to*: Old Testament Messianic prophecies ([[Isa|Isaiah 53]], [[Ps|Psalm 22]], [[Dan-07#v13|Daniel 7:13]]) ### For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on. They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Jesus provides a specific prediction of his own betrayal to Roman authorities, his public humiliation, execution, and resurrection. *Historical context*: These events were fulfilled during the Passion of Christ under the governorship of Pontius Pilate, as documented in the subsequent chapters of Luke and other Gospel accounts. *Related to*: ### Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me! *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The blind man acknowledges Jesus as the 'Son of David,' identifying him as the fulfillment of the Messianic lineage. *Historical context*: This fulfills the Davidic Covenant which promised that a descendant of King David would establish an eternal kingdom, as noted in [[2 Sam|2 Samuel 7]] and [[Jer|Jeremiah 23]]. *Related to*: The Davidic Covenant ([[2 Sam-07#v12|2 Samuel 7:12]]-16, [[Jer-23#v5|Jeremiah 23:5]]) ### there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God's Kingdom's sake, who will not receive many times more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Jesus predicts that self-sacrifice for the Kingdom will lead to abundant spiritual blessings in the present life and eternal life in the future. *Historical context*: Theologians point to the growth of the early Church as the fulfillment of receiving 'many times more' through the new community of believers, while the promise of eternal life remains a future hope. *Related to*: --- #ai_prophecy
