Did Christ know beforehand the treatment He was to receive?

Answer

"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." Luke 18: 31-33.
