What do historical commentaries say?

John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“[Saying], behold we go up to Jerusalem, etc..] They were now upon the road thither. And the son of man; meaning himself, shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the Scribes; by the determinate counsel, and foreknowledge of God, and by the means of a treacherous disciple of his, Judas. The Vulgate Latin version adds, “and to the elders”; but this is not in any of the copies, nor in other versions: and they shall condemn him to death; as they did in the palace of the high priest, “nemine contradicente”; (see <411464>Mark 14:64), and shall deliver him to the Gentiles; the Romans, to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor; either because they had not then power to put him to death…”

Barnes' Notes
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · Notes on the Whole Bible · 19th-century historical commentary
“See the notes at Matthew 20:17-19. Mark 10:32 Jesus went before him - In the manner of an intrepid, fearless leader and guide, exposing “himself” to danger and death rather than his followers. And they rather amazed ... - They were afraid that evil would befall him in the city; that the scribes and Pharisees, who had so often sought to kill him, would then do it. Their fear and amazement were increased when he told them what would befall him there. They were amazed that, when he knew so well what would happen, he should still persevere in going up to the city. return to 'Top of Page'”

“10:33 The leading priests and the teachers of religious law were the human agents who fulfilled God’s purpose through their hatred of Jesus. • They did not have the right of capital punishment (John 18:31), so they had to hand Jesus over to the Romans to carry out the actual execution.”
