“Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.”
The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again — the repetition of the passion-resurrection prediction: delivered over, crucified, raised on the third day. The must (dei, divine necessity) that governed the predictions now governs the interpretation of the empty tomb — this is not an accident but the fulfillment of the divine plan.
