# For the Son of Man will go as it is written about him
Here Jesus refers to the scriptures prophesying about his death. If you have a polite way to talk about death in your language, use it here. Alternate translation: "For the Son of Man will die in the way that the scriptures say"
# it is written
"the scripture says" or "as they wrote in the scripture"
# through whom the Son of Man is betrayed
This can be stated more directly. Alternate translation: "who betrays the Son of Man" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])
