Jesus predicted his death just 3 days ahead but he himselves said that maximum 30 days in advanced very pure soul can predict . Therefore he was missing one link.

A:An answer to a question about when Jesus predicted his death and resurrection should be based on Mark's Gospel because this was the original New Testament gospel on which the others are based. It has Jesus predict his death and resurrection at verse 8:31. This fits into the gospel's parallel structure, a literary sequence in which an opening set of events is contrasted with another, parallel set of events that mirrors the first:

  • The opening set begins with John explaining the coming of Jesus (Mark 1:1-8), The baptism of Jesus (1:9), the voice of God from heaven (1:11), the forty days in the wilderness as an allusion to Elijah and Moses (1:13), the people were astonished at what Jesus taught (1:22), Jesus cast out an unclean spirit (1:23-26), and so on. It ends with Jesus predicting his death and resurrection (8:31).
  • The contrasting structure begins with the Transfiguration of Jesus (9:2-3), the voice of God from heaven (9:7), Jesus talking to Elijah and Moses then talking to the disciples about Elijah (9:4-13), a great multitude was amazed at Jesus (9:15), Jesus cast out a dumb spirit (9:17-27). It ends with the death and resurrection of Jesus (15:37, 16:6) and the young man explaining the departure of Jesus (16:6-8).

As can be seen, this prediction was important for the literary integrity of Mark's Gospel, as the parallel structure is anchored on it. It is therefore a matter of faith whether Jesus really prophesied his death and resurrection, or whether the author of Mark created the prophecy for literary purposes. Since the other gospels are now known to have been based substantially on Mark's Gospel, it is also a matter of faith whether any prophecies they introduce were really spoken by Jesus.

Elsewhere, such as (Mark 14:25) when Jesus says at the Last Supper that he will not drink wine again until he drinks in the kingdom of God, Jesus prophesies his death but not his resurrection. John's Gospel omits the first prophecy and has Jesus obliquely refer to his impending death in chapter 16. Again, this is at a meal on the evening before the crucifixion, but in different circumstances than the synoptic account.

On the other hand, Jesus also prophesied his second coming. At Mark 9:1 he told the disciples that some of them would not taste death until they saw the kingdom of God coming with power. This is repeated more fully at chapter 13 when Jesus described the end of the world and his second coming, on clouds of glory, within the lifetimes of some of those to whom he was speaking. The later gospels could not say this, because when they were written, the time had already passed, so they had Jesus saying that no one knows when he will return.

When a literary specialist looks at Mark's Gospel he can see an elegant parallel structure in the narrative. A parallel structure is a literary sequence in which an opening set of events is contrasted with another, parallel set of events that mirrors the first. In Mark's Gospel:

  • The opening set begins with John explaining the coming of Jesus, followed by the baptism and the voice of God from heaven, and ends with Jesus predicting his death - the first time.
  • The contrasting structure begins with the Transfiguration of Jesus and the voice of God from heaven, and ends with the crucifixion, followed by the young man explaining the departure of Jesus.

Within these major milestones we find other pairs such as 9:1 and chapter 13, where he predicts his second coming:
  • 9:1: Jesus told the disciples that some of them would not taste death until they saw the kingdom of God coming with power.
  • Chapter 13: Jesus described the end of the world and his second coming, on clouds of glory, within the lifetimes of some of those to whom he was speaking.

Mark 14:25 arguably tells us that Jesus expected to die soon, when he says that he will not drink wine again before he sees the Kingdom of God. Argument continues over whether this passage is inauthentic, as it appears somewhat unMarkan, but at this late stage Jesus should in any case have known that the religious authorities were about to arrest him. This is copied in Luke 14:25ff.

In 14:36, Jesus asks God if it was possible to take away the cup, but if not God's will be done. This might not have been written as a prophecy, but at least as a foreboding of things to come.

The other gospels are in part dependent on Mark's Gospel and include most of the above passages in some form. John's Gospel does away with the three hours of prayer in the Garden of Gethsemene before his arrest, but instead has Jesus (chapter 17) pray to God before going to the garden. His prayer acknowledges that his time has come and his mission is finished.

We should begin with Mark's Gospel, the original New Testament gospel on which the others are based. It has Jesus predict his death at verse 9:1. This fits into the gospel's framework structure, a parallel sequence in which an opening set of events is contrasted with another, parallel set of events that mirrors the first. In Mark's Gospel:

  • The opening set begins with John explaining the coming of Jesus, followed by the baptism and the voice of God from heaven, and ends with Jesus predicting his death (9:1).
  • The contrasting structure begins with the Transfiguration of Jesus and the voice of God from heaven, and ends with the crucifixion, followed by the young man explaining the departure of Jesus.

As can be seen, this prediction was important for the literary integrity of Mark's Gospel, as the paralle structure is anchored on it. There is another implied prophecy at Mark 14:25, when Jesus says at the Last Supper that he will not drink wine again until he drinks in the kingdom of God. In the Garden of Gethsemene, Jesus prayed that the cup (his destiny) be taken away from him.

John's Gospel omits the first prophecy and has Jesus obliquely refer to his impending death in chapter 16. Again, this is at a meal on the evening before the crucifixion, but in different circumstances than the synoptic account. In this gospel, Jesus does not pray in the Garden of Gethsemene and does not ask God to be spared from crucifixion, but does say a triumphant prayer to God before reaching the Garden, saying that his time had come.

He didn't predict it, He knew. Jesus knew right away and he was prepared to die when he arrived to the place where he ended up dieing. Plus, he was ready when he arrived.
