He will be handed over
This phrase signifies the deliberate act of betrayal and surrender. In the Greek, "παραδοθήσεται" (paradothēsetai) implies a handing over with intent, often used in legal or judicial contexts. This foreshadows the betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot, highlighting the fulfillment of prophecy and the divine plan. It underscores the gravity of Jesus' mission, willingly subjected to human authorities, emphasizing His submission to the Father's will.

to the Gentiles
The term "Gentiles" (Greek: ἔθνη, ethnē) refers to non-Jewish people, specifically the Roman authorities in this context. This is significant as it marks the transition of Jesus' trial from a Jewish religious context to a Roman political one. Historically, this reflects the Roman occupation of Judea and the complex socio-political dynamics of the time. It also symbolizes the universal scope of Jesus' mission, as His sacrifice would extend beyond the Jewish people to all nations.

and will be mocked
The Greek word "ἐμπαίξεται" (empaixetai) conveys a sense of derision and scorn. Mockery was a common form of humiliation in ancient times, often used to demean and dehumanize. This fulfills the prophetic imagery found in Isaiah 53:3, where the suffering servant is "despised and rejected." It highlights the depth of Jesus' humiliation and the extent of His suffering for humanity's redemption.

and insulted
The word "ὑβρισθήσεται" (hybristhēsetai) in Greek suggests acts of violence and abuse, both verbal and physical. This reflects the brutal treatment Jesus endured, as recorded in the Gospels. Historically, such treatment was typical for those condemned by Roman authorities, intended to break the spirit of the accused. This phrase emphasizes the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the extent of Jesus' endurance for the sake of mankind.

and spit upon
Spitting was a profound act of contempt and dishonor in ancient cultures, symbolizing utter rejection. The Greek "ἐμπτυσθήσεται" (emptysthēsetai) indicates a deliberate act of scorn. This act of spitting upon Jesus is a vivid demonstration of the world's rejection of Him, fulfilling the prophecy in Isaiah 50:6. It serves as a poignant reminder of the humility and love of Christ, who endured such disgrace to bring salvation to all.

(32) He shall be delivered unto the Gentiles.--The words are nearly the same as in the other Gospels, but the "spitefully entreated" is peculiar to St. Luke.

Verses 32, 33. - For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: and they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. The outlines of the Passion he had sketched for the disciples before on two occasions, But never so clearly as now. He even tells them the manner of his end, and how his own countrymen would give him up to the Romans, and how these Gentiles, amidst every conceivable circumstance of horror, would do him to death. And the Master closed his dread revelation by predicting his speedy resurrection.
