Luke 9:51. And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem,
It is a very remarkable expression that is here used: "when the time was come that he should be received up." It does not say "that he should depart," or "that he should die." It overleaps that, and speaks only of his glorious ascension into heaven. When that time was drawing near,-and, of course, his death would come before it,-Christ "stedfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem," where he knew that he should die upon the cross.
