Les explains that Luke 18:31 occurs at the end of Jesus' earthly ministry, just shortly before they go up to Jerusalem. In that setting, Jesus took unto Him the Twelve and said, "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man shall be accomplished." The context also notes that God had kept things secret from the Twelve that they did not understand until He was ready to reveal it. This shows prophecy had to be fulfilled.
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.
