Parallels
- Mark 10:32 (verbal): Nearly identical wording—Jesus and the twelve travel toward Jerusalem, and he takes them aside to speak, showing a close Markan parallel to Matthew's account.
- Luke 18:31 (verbal): Luke preserves the same action of Jesus taking the twelve aside to forecast what will happen to him in Jerusalem; parallels Matthew's prediction-setting scene.
- Matthew 16:21 (thematic): Earlier Matthean prediction of Jesus' suffering, death, and resurrection addressed to the disciples—themewise precursor to the more detailed passion prediction that begins in 20:17–19.
- Mark 8:31 (thematic): Mark's earlier passion prediction to the disciples (he began to teach that the Son of Man must suffer) echoes the theme of Jesus preparing his followers for his impending suffering en route to Jerusalem.
- Luke 9:51 (structural): Luke's note that Jesus 'set his face to go to Jerusalem' provides structural context for the journey motif—both passages mark a decisive movement toward Jerusalem as the setting for his passion.
