Matthew 17:11-12. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
How he comes back to that point! Evidently the chief thought in our Saviour’s mind was concerning his suffering. On another occasion, he said, "I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!" As the magnetic needle ever points to the pole, so did the heart of Jesus ever point to the cross.
