And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
The disciples didn't get any of what Jesus was saying. It was like the meaning was completely hidden from them, they had no clue what he was talking about.

📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus is traveling toward Jerusalem and has just foretold his death and resurrection to his disciples for the third time, as part of his teachings on the path to the cross. The disciples, influenced by the prevailing Jewish expectations of a Messiah who would deliver them from Roman oppression, failed to grasp these prophecies because they were rooted in a worldly view of power and victory. This moment highlights the spiritual blindness that even Jesus' closest followers experienced amid the cultural and political tensions of first-century Judea.
