Matthew 16:21

First Prediction of Jesus’ Death and Resurrection

16:21 From that time on¹ Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem² and suffer³ 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 22:16

Context
22:16 They sent to him their disciples along with the Herodians,⁵ saying, “Teacher, we know that you are truthful, and teach the way of God in accordance with the truth.⁶ You do not court anyone’s favor because you show no partiality.⁷

¹tn Grk “From then.”

³sn 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.

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

⁵sn The Herodians are mentioned in the NT only once in Matt (22:16 = Mark 12:13) and twice in Mark (3:6; 12:13; some mss also read “Herodians” instead of “Herod” in Mark 8:15). It is generally assumed that as a group the Herodians were Jewish supporters of the Herodian dynasty (or of Herod Antipas in particular). In every instance they are linked with the Pharisees. This probably reflects agreement regarding political objectives (nationalism as opposed to submission to the yoke of Roman oppression) rather than philosophy or religious beliefs.

⁶sn Teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Very few comments are as deceitful as this one; they did not really believe this at all. The question of the Pharisees and Herodians was specifically designed to trap Jesus.

⁷tn Grk “And it is not a concern to you about anyone because you do not see the face of men.”
