Exegesis
The impersonal clause dei genesthai {δεῖ γενέσθαι | deî ge-nés-thai} ‘it is necessary to happen’ conveys theological necessity without naming the agent, a characteristic feature of eschatological discourse.
In context — Mark 13:7
But whenever you hear of wars and reports of wars, do not be alarmed ; it is necessary for these things to take place, but the end is not yet.
