Abstract
This chapter describes Jesus’ own anticipation of the messianic sufferings of Christ and his beatings. The section “A fool’s beating predicted” focuses on the conflict between wisdom and foolishness, which is apparent throughout Jesus’ interaction with his Jewish opponents. The section “A fool’s beating parabolized” focuses on Jesus’ description of his then future messianic sufferings. Jesus identifies himself in the pattern of beatings and deaths that the prophets in Israel suffered.
