Matthew 16:21

First Prediction of Jesus’ Death and Resurrection

16:21 From that time on ¹  Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem ²  and suffer ³  many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and experts in the law, ⁴  and be killed, and on the third day be raised.

Matthew 17:12

17:12 And I tell you that Elijah has already come. Yet they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted. In ⁵  the same way, the Son of Man will suffer at their hands.”

Matthew 27:19

27:19 As ⁶  he was sitting on the judgment seat, ⁷  his wife sent a message ⁸  to him: ⁹  “Have nothing to do with that innocent man; ¹⁰  I have suffered greatly as a result of a dream ¹¹  about him today.”

¹ tn Grk “From then.”

³ sn The necessity that the Son of Man suffer is the particular point that needed emphasis since for many 1st century Jews the Messiah was a glorious and powerful figure, not a suffering one.

⁴ tn Or “and scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.

⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

⁹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

¹⁰ tn Or “the judge’s seat.”

¹¹ tn The word “message” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

¹² tn Grk “saying.” The participle λέγουσα (legousa) is redundant here in contemporary English and has not been translated.

¹³ tn The Greek particle γάρ (gar, “for”) has not been translated here.

¹⁴ tn Or “suffered greatly in a dream.” See the discussion on the construction κατ᾿ ὄναρ (kat’ onar) in BDAG 710 s.v. ὄναρ.
