Luke 24:26Didn't the Christ have to suffer these things and to enter into his glory?"
The setting
Still walking toward Emmaus, Israel. Jesus begins revealing why the cross wasn't a mistake but God's plan all along.
The emotion here: gentle revelation of divine mystery
The original word
dei (δεῖ) — divine necessity, not possibility but absolute requirement
Why it matters
Jewish expectation was a conquering Messiah, making a suffering Messiah incomprehensible
