"For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day. But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him." Mark 9:31-32 KJV
"Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on: And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken." Luke 18:31-34 KJV
Jesus preached it, they heard it, but could not face it.

You made this "could not face it" up, fool; no, it was hid from them. They denied, initially, the resurrection.
They did not preach the good news of 1 Cor. 15:1-4 KJV, lost one, and yet, they did preach the good news of the kingdom, for almost 3 years-that is my point, i.e., the good news/gospel of 1 Cor. 15:1-4 KJV, which had as its foundation, the dbr, is not equivalent to the good news/gospel of the kingdom.
Thanks for, as usual, weighing in, and contributing nothing.
