People's New Testament

16:21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew to his disciples. They were not strong enough to bear this teaching until they were convinced of his divinity.

And suffer many things. In this strange way carrying out the true idea of the Messiah (Isa 53:1-12).

Of the elders and chief priests and scribes. The three constituents of the Sanhedrin.

Wesley's Notes

16:21 From that time Jesus began to tell his disciples, that he must suffer many things - Perhaps this expression, began, always implied his entering on a set and solemn discourse. Hitherto he had mainly taught them only one point, That he was the Christ. From this time he taught them another, That Christ must through sufferings and death enter into his glory. From the elders - The most honourable and experienced men; the chief priests - Accounted the most religious; and the scribes - The most learned body of men in the nation. Would not one have expected, that these should have been the very first to receive him? But not many wise, not many noble were called. Favour thyself - The advice of the world, the flesh, and the devil, to every one of our Lord's followers. Mark 8:31; Luke 9:22.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

21. From that time forth began Jesus to show unto his disciples-that is, with an explicitness and frequency He had never observed before.

how that he must go unto Jerusalem and suffer many things-"and be rejected," (Mr 8:31; Lu 9:22).

of the elders and chief priests and scribes-not as before, merely by not receiving Him, but by formal deeds.

and be killed, and be raised again the third day-Mark (Mr 8:32) adds, that "He spake that saying openly"-"explicitly," or "without disguise."

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

16:21-23 Christ reveals his mind to his people gradually. From that time, when the apostles had made the full confession of Christ, that he was the Son of God, he began to show them of his sufferings. He spake this to set right the mistakes of his disciples about the outward pomp and power of his kingdom. Those that follow Christ, must not expect great or high things in this world. Peter would have Christ to dread suffering as much as he did; but we mistake, if we measure Christ's love and patience by our own. We do not read of any thing said or done by any of his disciples, at any time, that Christ resented so much as this. Whoever takes us from that which is good, and would make us fear to do too much for God, speaks Satan's language. Whatever appears to be a temptation to sin, must be resisted with abhorrence, and not be parleyed with. Those that decline suffering for Christ, savour more of the things of man than of the things of God.
