Exegesis
The prepositional genitive phrase apo tēs geneas tautēs {ἀπὸ τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης | apó tês ge-ne-âs taú-tês} specifies the source or agent of the rejection in a collective sense, “from/by this generation,” highlighting corporate opposition. In translation, the impersonal construction is expressed with “it is necessary for Him” in a more formal style and “He must” in a more dynamic style, while parallel English verb phrases (“to suffer… and to be rejected” / “endure… and be turned away”) preserve the coordinated infinitival structure and the close link between suffering and rejection.
