Luke 9:22

9:22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and experts in the law, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.”

tn The imperfect verb looks back to the view that they held during Jesus’ past ministry.

sn Their messianic hope concerning Jesus is expressed by the phrase who was going to redeem Israel.
