As they gathered together in Galilee
This phrase sets the geographical and communal context for the events that follow. Galilee, a region in northern Israel, was a significant area in Jesus' ministry. It was a place where Jesus performed many miracles and taught extensively. The gathering of Jesus and His disciples here signifies a moment of intimacy and instruction. The Greek word for "gathered" (συναθροίζω) implies a purposeful coming together, suggesting that Jesus was preparing His disciples for an important revelation.

Jesus said to them
This phrase introduces the speaker and the authority of the message. Jesus, the central figure of the New Testament, is about to impart crucial information to His disciples. The act of speaking here is not just casual conversation; it is a deliberate teaching moment. The Greek verb "said" (εἶπεν) is often used in the Gospels to denote authoritative teaching or prophecy.

The Son of Man
This title, "Son of Man," is one of Jesus' favorite self-designations, used frequently in the Gospels. It has roots in the Old Testament, particularly in the book of Daniel (Daniel 7:13-14), where it refers to a messianic figure endowed with authority and glory. In the New Testament, it emphasizes both Jesus' humanity and His divine mission. The use of this title here underscores the prophetic nature of what Jesus is about to reveal.

is about to be delivered
The phrase "is about to be delivered" indicates an impending event. The Greek word "παραδίδοται" (paradidotai) can mean to be handed over or betrayed. This foreshadows the betrayal by Judas Iscariot and the subsequent handing over of Jesus to the authorities. It highlights the divine foreknowledge and the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan through Jesus' suffering.

into the hands of men
This phrase signifies the human agents involved in the forthcoming events. "Into the hands of men" suggests a transfer of control, where Jesus will be subjected to human judgment and cruelty. The phrase emphasizes the contrast between divine sovereignty and human agency. It also reflects the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies regarding the suffering servant (Isaiah 53), who would be oppressed and afflicted by men.

(22) While they abode in Galilee.--Better, as they went to and fro. The journeyings were apparently, like that to the coasts of Tyre and Sidon (Matthew 15:21), unconnected with the work of His ministry. Our Lord was still, as before, taking His disciples apart by themselves, and training them by fuller disclosures of His coming passion. "He would not that any man should know" of their presence (Mark 9:30), for at that crisis, as was shown only too plainly by what followed, their minds were in a state of feverish excitement, which needed to be controlled and calmed. St. Luke adds (Luke 9:44) the solemn words with which this second announcement of His death was impressed on their thoughts, "Let these sayings sink down into your ears" (literally, place these things). The substance of what they heard was the same as before, but its repetition gave it a new force, as showing that it was not a mere foreboding of disaster, passing away with the mood of sadness in which it might have seemed to originate.

Verses 22, 23. - Second official announcement of the Passion and Resurrection. (Mark 9:30-32; Luke 9:43-45.) Verse 22. - While they abode (ἀναστρεφομένων, went to and fro; conversantibus, Vulgate) in Galilee. After some weeks spent in the extreme north, Jesus and his disciples had returned secretly to Galilee (Mark 9:30), and were approaching the neighborhood of Capernaum. The privacy was connected with the special instruction which he was now giving to his disciples. The Son of man shall be betrayed... men. There is a reference to the preparation thus mercifully afforded to the twelve in the angel's address to the women at the sepulchre, "Remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee" (Luke 24:6). Jesus reiterates the prediction continually in order to familiarize his followers with the unwelcome, the incredible, reality. But the Messiah's Passion, death, and resurrection were ideas that they could not at once receive; so impossible they seemed in the very nature of things, so contrary to all their hopes and expectations. Shall be betrayed (μέλλει παραδιδοσθαι). Is ordained, in the counsels of God, to be betrayed. Tradendus est (Vulgate). Men. He had before named the chief priests (Matthew 16:21), afterwards he mentions the Gentiles (Matthew 20:19), as the agents in his death. So St. Peter, in his great sermon (Acts 2), says to the Jews, "Ye have taken him, and by wicked hands ['by the hand of lawless men,' Revised Version] have crucified and slain."
