Exegesis
The following hoti-clause, hoti dei auton ek nekrōn anastēnai {ὅτι δεῖ αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῆναι | hó-ti deî au-tón ek ne-krō̂n a-na-stē̂-nai}, functions epexegetically, spelling out the specific content of Scripture that they had not grasped. Dei is an impersonal verb expressing divine necessity, with the infinitive anastēnai as its complement and auton as the logical subject of the infinitive. The prepositional phrase ek nekrōn specifies the sphere out of which the rising occurs, a standard New Testament way to describe resurrection. In translation, the formal rendering maintains the pluperfect “had not yet understood” to mirror the Greek aspect and discourse connection, while the dynamic rendering uses “still did not understand” for contemporary clarity. Both translations preserve the clause structure in which the missed comprehension concerns the divinely necessary resurrection of Jesus from among the dead.
In context — John 20:9
For they had not yet understood the Scripture, that it was necessary for Him to rise from among the dead.
