Luke18:31 He took the twelve aside, and said to them, "Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed. 18:32 For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on. 18:33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again."

We so often read within the God's written word the lack of understanding of Christ Jesus apostles many Christian's wonder how could they have been so dense on so many subjects. But instead of looking at them as uneducated, we should rather look at ourselves.
We should instead wonder how Christ could make such simple statements and it be hidden from their understanding?

The Jews were a legal nation, they had God's righteous laws. Moreover, they had compounded these laws in to thousand's of rule which allowed for no free choice of conscience on most matters. Such legal thinking can and does blinded us to simple spiritual understanding, what does this mean? It means simply, the human brain set upon law divorce itself from human emotion it must because if not it will not enforce law evenly. In other words, a judge cannot introduce his personal feeling and emotion into the law or he is biased, he must stay neutral and keep the rule of laws. Law is legal it not fair, fairness if it exist in the cold legal law is legislated by the creators of the law for punishment.

Hence, we find a nation dummy down into not thinking in spiritual terms which spiritual thoughts are contrary to legal understanding, legal understanding is material on paper not spiritual like the wind. So if a Christ Jesus performed a merical, not something physical, and/or from a physical doctrine on paper or stone, it was from the demons!

John 8:52 Then the Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.'

Christ apostles were stunned many times because they could not imagine putting to death some one not breaking the law, it simply was not in their thinking. The law was for punishment of the wicked and Christ their teacher and leader was not wicked, so they gave Christ words, though spoken often, any no credence.

1Tim.1:9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1:10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;

In other words, the law was given to affect the core of mankind his heart condition into repentance and humility before God, the Jews used it to declare themselves righteous as better than other sinners as superior too others not keeping it. Even the simplest parable of Christ would have been put into legal terms by his apostles blocking them from the Spirit teachings them the truth.

Subsequently, we find after the outpouring of Holy Spirit, Christ promised upon his death and resurrection, a transformed spiritually mature group of men known as Christ Jesus apostles. Where they once thought Christ words foolish by law, they now understood the depth of what they have overlooked as mundane.

John 6:63 It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
