What does Matthew 20:19 mean?

Jesus is telling the disciples, clearly and plainly and for the third time in this gospel, exactly what will happen to Him when they reach Jerusalem (Matthew 16:21; 17:22–23). He has said that He will be delivered over to the Jewish religious leaders (with the word "delivered" perhaps referring to Judas' betrayal). They will condemn Him to death.

Now He adds that, once condemned, the Jewish leadership will hand Him over to the Gentiles: the Romans. This is because the Jewish religious leaders do not have the authority to execute one of their own prisoners. The Romans will mock, flog, and then crucify Jesus on a cross. Finally, Jesus insists that He will be raised on the third day.

Once again, Jesus shows that nothing that happened to Him in Jerusalem was a surprise. He embraced it as the central part of His mission on earth. His refusal to turn back or to thwart what was coming is enormous evidence of His commitment to demonstrate God's love to the world and God's power over sin and death.
