Luke 24:7

‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — The two men at the tomb address the women who came to anoint Jesus’ body, reminding them of His prior teaching while He was still in Galilee.

The words — The Greek δεῖ (dei) translates literally as “it must” or “it behooves,” establishing divine necessity, while παραδοθῆναι (paradothēnai) means “to be delivered up.”

The thread — This theme of necessary suffering and delivery appears in Matthew 16:21, where Jesus begins showing His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things.

Why it lands — The text states that Jesus’ death and resurrection were predetermined events requiring remembrance, asking readers to align their understanding with His foretold mission rather than expecting a different outcome.
