Most Christians pretty much believe it that during the ministry of Jesus on earth, everyone believed that Jesus came to earth to die on the cross. Yet, a closer examination of the synoptic gospels: Matthew, Mark, and Luke, reveals a very different perspective. In fact, Scripture teaches that even the 12 disciples did not understand the need for the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ until the very last day Jesus was on the earth. This is a fact!
