It indicates a shift in Jesus' ministry focus, from teaching and performing miracles to preparing His disciples for His impending passion. The Greek word "τότε" (tote) signifies a specific moment in time, underscoring the importance of this new phase in Jesus' mission. Historically, this moment is crucial as it sets the stage for the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah's suffering and resurrection.Jesus began to show His disciples The Greek verb "δείκνυμι" (deiknymi) means to show or make known. Jesus is not merely telling His disciples about future events; He is revealing profound truths that they must understand. This revelation is part of their spiritual formation, preparing them for the trials ahead. The use of "began" suggests a gradual process, indicating that the disciples needed time to grasp the full significance of what Jesus was teaching them.that He must go to Jerusalem The necessity of going to Jerusalem is emphasized by the Greek word "δεῖ" (dei), meaning "it is necessary." Jerusalem is not just a geographical location; it is the center of Jewish religious life and the place where prophets were often martyred. Jesus' journey to Jerusalem is a fulfillment of His divine mission, aligning with God's sovereign plan for redemption. Historically, Jerusalem is where the sacrificial system was centered, and Jesus' sacrifice would be the ultimate fulfillment of that system.and suffer many things The Greek word "πάσχω" (paschō) means to suffer or endure. Jesus' suffering is multifaceted, involving physical pain, emotional anguish, and spiritual burden. The phrase "many things" indicates the breadth and depth of His suffering, which would encompass betrayal, mockery, and crucifixion. This suffering is not incidental but is integral to His role as the Suffering Servant prophesied in <a href="/isaiah/53.htm">Isaiah 53</a>.at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and scribes These groups represent the religious leadership of Israel. The "elders" (πρεσβύτεροι, presbyteroi) were respected leaders, the "chief priests" (ἀρχιερεῖς, archiereis) were temple authorities, and the "scribes" (γραμματεῖς, grammateis) were experts in the Law. Their opposition to Jesus highlights the tragic irony of religious leaders rejecting the very Messiah they awaited. This opposition fulfills the scriptural pattern of prophets being rejected by their own people.and that He must be killed The necessity of Jesus' death is again emphasized by the word "must" (δεῖ, dei). His death is not a tragic accident but a divine appointment. The Greek word "ἀποκτείνω" (apokteinō) means to kill or put to death, signifying the violent nature of His death. This act is central to the Christian faith, as it is through His sacrificial death that atonement for sin is made.and on the third day be raised to life The phrase "on the third day" is significant, as it aligns with Jewish understanding of time and prophecy. The resurrection is the cornerstone of Christian belief, affirming Jesus' victory over sin and death. The Greek word "ἐγείρω" (egeirō) means to raise up, indicating a divine act of power. This event is not only a historical reality but also a promise of future resurrection for all who believe in Him.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/matthew/16.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(21) From that time forth began Jesus.--The prominence given to the prediction shows that it came upon the minds of the disciples as something altogether new. They had failed to understand the mysterious hints of the future which we find in, "Destroy this temple" (<a href="/john/2-19.htm" title="Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.">John 2:19</a>), in the Son of Man being "lifted up" (<a href="/john/3-14.htm" title="And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:">John 3:14</a>), in the sign of the prophet "Jonas" (<a href="/matthew/12-39.htm" title="But he answered and said to them, An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:">Matthew 12:39</a>; <a href="/matthew/16-4.htm" title="A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.">Matthew 16:4</a>). Now the veil is uplifted, and the order of events is plainly foretold--the entry into Jerusalem, the rejection, the condemnation, the death, the resurrection. It is obvious that if we accept the record as true the prediction is one which implies a foreknowledge that is at least supernatural, and is so far evidence of a divine mission, if not also of a divine nature in the speaker. And it may well be urged that in this case the incidents which surround the prediction--as, e.g., Peter's protest, and the rebuke addressed to him in such striking contrast with the previous promise--have a character of originality and unexpectedness which negatives the hypothesis of its being a prophecy after the event. On the other hand, the fact that the disciples did not take in the meaning of the prediction as to His rising from the dead may, in its turn, be pleaded in bar of the assumption that the prophecy lingered in men's minds, and suggested the belief in a mythical, in the absence of a real, fulfilment.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/matthew/16.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 21-ch. 25:46. - SUFFERING: JESUS ACCEPTS AND DOES NOT SHUN IT. Verses 21-28. - Jesus announces plainly his death and resurrection. Rebukes Peter. (<a href="/mark/8-31.htm">Mark 8:31-9:1</a>; <a href="/luke/9-22.htm">Luke 9:22-27</a>.) Verse 21. - From that time. Henceforward Christ changes his teaching and his behaviour. He tells of his sufferings, and of their necessity in the order of things, so that any one who opposes this design is fighting against God; and shows how self-denial and pain must be the lot of his followers. Began to show unto his disciples. No longer obscurely, but plainly and without reserve. He had already intimated his future sufferings, though his disciples had been slow to receive these dark hints, so opposed to all their preconceived opinions of Messiah's glory and victorious career. Such sayings as, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up" (<a href="/john/2-19.htm">John 2:19</a>); and, "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up" (<a href="/john/3-14.htm">John 3:14</a>), had fallen unheeded on the disciples' ears, and had not guided them to forecast the future. Even the allusions to their own trials, in the warnings about bearing the cross and following him (<a href="/matthew/10-38.htm">Matthew 10:38</a>), were not understood. The great point of his real nature had become clear to them; they had now to learn that the way to glory, both for him and them, led through suffering and death. Conscious of Christ's Divinity, they could now more patiently endure the mystery of his cross and Passion. Unto Jerusalem. The appointed scene of these events (see <a href="/matthew/20-17.htm">Matthew 20:17</a>). He must (δεῖ) go thither to meet and endure these sufferings, because it was so ordained in the counsels of God and announced by the prophets (comp. <a href="/matthew/26-54.htm">Matthew 26:54</a>; <a href="/luke/24-26.htm">Luke 24:26, 46</a>). Many things. These are detailed in <a href="/matthew/20-18.htm">Matthew 20:18, 19</a>; <a href="/luke/18-31.htm">Luke 18:31-33</a>. Elders, chief priests, and scribes. The various members of the Sanhedrin (see <a href="/matthew/2-4.htm">Matthew 2:4</a>). The three classes are, in Nosgen's opinion, intentionally named here - the elders, as the most aged and venerated members, or such as were distinguished by rank and character; the chief priests, heads of the twenty-four courses, as office bearers of the theocracy; and scribes, at that time occupying almost the position of the prophets. The whole religious world would thus be combined against Christ. Be killed. He does not here say "crucified," as he did afterwards (<a href="/matthew/20-19.htm">Matthew 20:19</a>), only gradually revealing the whole awful truth. Be raised again the third day. This announcement was intended to support the disciples in view of Christ's sufferings and death. And "the third day" is mentioned, not only for typical reasons, but to assure them that his death should be speedily followed by his return to life from the grave. It is obvious to us that Jesus prophesied plainly concerning his resurrection; but such an event, so unprecedented, so unexperienced, was not understood; and though the prediction was so far known as to cause his grave to be watched, it was only a vague kind of expectation, without form or definiteness, that was cherished, and the actual fact came as a surprise (see <a href="/mark/9-10.htm">Mark 9:10, 32</a>). <a href="/commentaries/matthew/16-21.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>From Ἀπὸ (Apo) Preposition <a href="/greek/strongs_575.htm">Strong's 575: </a> From, away from.
