First Prediction of Jesus’ Death and Resurrection

16:21 From that time on ⁵  Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem ⁶  and suffer ⁷  many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and experts in the law, ⁸  and be killed, and on the third day be raised.

Matthew 27:64

[20:3]  ¹ tn Grk “about the third hour.”

[20:19]  ¹ tn Traditionally, “scourged” (the term means to beat severely with a whip, L&N 19.9). BDAG 620 s.v. μαστιγόω 1.a states, “The ‘verberatio’ is denoted in the passion predictions and explicitly as action by non-Israelites Mt 20:19; Mk 10:34; Lk 18:33”; the verberatio was the beating given to those condemned to death in the Roman judicial system. Here the term μαστιγόω (mastigow) has been translated “flog…severely” to distinguish it from the term φραγελλόω (fragellow) used in Matt 27:26; Mark 15:15.

[20:19]  ² sn Crucifixion was the cruelest form of punishment practiced by the Romans. Roman citizens could not normally undergo it. It was reserved for the worst crimes, like treason and evasion of due process in a capital case. The Roman historian Cicero called it “a cruel and disgusting penalty” (Against Verres 2.5.63-66 §§163-70); Josephus (J. W. 7.6.4 [7.203]) called it the worst of deaths.

[20:19]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “yet” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[16:21]  ¹ tn Grk “From then.”

[16:21]  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.

[16:21]  ⁴ tn Or “and scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 2:4.

[27:64]  ¹ tn Grk “him.”
