Study note
Setting — Jesus addresses His disciples on the day of His resurrection, following His appearance to them and preceding His detailed explanation of the Scriptures.
The words — ἔδει (edei) = it was necessary; παθεῖν (pathein) = to suffer.
The thread — The necessity of the Messiah's suffering and subsequent glory runs through Isaiah 53:1, Zechariah 13:7, and 1 Peter 1:11.
Why it lands — It requires the reader to accept that the Christ's suffering and entry into glory were divinely mandated events, not historical accidents.
