Exegesis
The genitive plural tôn presbyterōn kai archierēōn kai grammateōn {τῶν πρεσβυτέρων καὶ ἀρχιερέων καὶ γραμματέων | tôn presbyterōn kai archierēōn kai grammateōn} denotes the Israelite leadership as the agents of suffering, while the dative temporal trítē hēmérā {τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ | tē̂ trítē hēmérā} ‘on the third day’ fixes the resurrection in a precise timeframe. In English, the infinitival series is rendered as a sequence of finite verbs to preserve both the structure and the theological weight of Jesus’ forecast.
In context — Matthew 16:21
From that time Jesus began to make it clear to His disciples that it was necessary for Him to go to Jerusalem, to suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, to be killed, and to be raised on the third day.
