    31 For He was teaching His disciples and telling them, “The Son of Man is to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and when He has been killed, He will rise three days later.” 32 But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him.

    Mark 9:31

    32 They were on the road going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking on ahead of them; and they were amazed, and those who followed were fearful. And again He took the twelve aside and began to tell them what was going to happen to Him, 33 saying, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and will hand Him over to the Gentiles. 34 They will mock Him and spit on Him, and scourge Him and kill Him, and three days later He will rise again.”

    Mark 10:32-34

    For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

    The word ransom there, when translated into Arabic and Farsi, is the same root as in the Qur’an 37:107
    فدا ، فدیه

    The Qur’an, in affirming the story of Abraham and offering his unique son, could not get away from the concept of substitutionary atonement.
