Luke 17:25

17:25 But first he must ¹  suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.

Luke 24:26

24:26 Wasn’t ²  it necessary ³  for the Christ ⁴  to suffer these things and enter into his glory?”

Luke 22:15

22:15 And he said to them, “I have earnestly desired ⁵  to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.

Luke 24:46

24:46 and said to them, “Thus it stands written that the Christ ⁶  would suffer ⁷  and would rise from the dead on the third day,

Luke 13:2

13:2 He ⁸  answered them, “Do you think these Galileans were worse sinners ⁹  than all the other Galileans, because they suffered these things?

Luke 9:22

9:22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer ¹⁰  many things and be rejected by the elders, ¹¹  chief priests, and experts in the law, ¹²  and be killed, and on the third day be raised.” ¹³ 

[17:25]  ¹ sn The Son of Man’s suffering and rejection by this generation is another “it is necessary” type of event in God’s plan (Luke 4:43; 24:7, 26, 44) and the fifth passion prediction in Luke’s account (9:22, 44; 12:50; 13:32-33; for the last, see 18:32-33).

[24:26]  ² tn This Greek particle (οὐχί, ouci) expects a positive reply.

[24:26]  ³ sn The statement Wasn’t it necessary is a reference to the design of God’s plan (see Luke 24:7). Suffering must precede glory (see Luke 17:25).

[24:26]  ⁴ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[22:15]  ³ tn This phrase parallels a Hebrew infinitive absolute and serves to underline Jesus’ enthusiasm for holding this meal (BDF §198.6).

[24:46]  ⁴ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

[24:46]  ⁵ tn Three Greek infinitives are the key to this summary: (1) to suffer, (2) to rise, and (3) to be preached. The Christ (Messiah) would be slain, would be raised, and a message about repentance would go out into all the world as a result. All of this was recorded in the scripture. The remark shows the continuity between Jesus’ ministry, the scripture, and what disciples would be doing as they declared the Lord risen.

[13:2]  ⁵ tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

[13:2]  ⁶ sn Jesus did not want his hearers to think that tragedy was necessarily a judgment on these people because they were worse sinners.

[9:22]  ⁶ 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.

[9:22]  ⁷ sn Rejection in Luke is especially by the Jewish leadership (here elders, chief priests, and experts in the law), though in Luke 23 almost all will join in.

[9:22]  ⁸ tn Or “and scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

[9:22]  ⁹ sn The description of the Son of Man being rejected…killed, and…raised is the first of six passion summaries in Luke: 9:44; 17:25; 18:31-33; 24:7; 24:46-47.
