SEV Biblia, Chapter 24:26
¿No era necesario que el Cristo padeciera estas cosas, y que entrara (así) en su gloria?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 24:26
Verse 26. Ought not Christ to have suffered] ouci edei paqein ton criston, Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer. This was the way in which sin must be expiated, and, without this, no soul could have been saved. The suffering Messiah is he alone by whom Israel and the world can be saved.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 26. Ought not Christ to have suffered these things , etc.] Mentioned in ( Luke 24:20) as to be delivered by the chief priests, to be condemned to death, and to be crucified: Christ suffered many things in his personal character, being traduced as a sinful and wicked man, and a friend and encourager of sinners; as a man of immoral principles and practices; as an idolater, a blasphemer, an impostor, a seditious person; as one that had had familiarity with the devil, and did his miracles by his assistance, with a load of other reproaches; and these he endured, to answer to the loss of the divine honour and glory, sustained by the sin of man; and to teach his people patience, under the loss of their good names, characters, and reputations: and he suffered much in his body, in the infirmities of it; which he assumed with it, being in all things like to his brethren, excepting sin; and in the pains which he endured, through buffeting and scourging before his crucifixion, and when he hung upon the cross: and he suffered greatly in his soul, partly from the temptations of Satan; and partly from the treatment of his own disciples, through the frowardness of their spirits; and especially his being betrayed by one, denied by another, and forsaken by them all, must greatly afflict his mind; but chiefly from his bearing the loathsome sins of men, the strokes of justice, and the wrath of God; and particularly, through his being forsaken by him: and of all these there was a necessity; he ought to have suffered these things, as he did; the counsels and purposes of God, the covenant transactions and agreement he himself entered into with his Father, the prophecies of the Old Testament, and his own predictions concerning these things, together with the salvation of his people, in a way consistent with the justice of God, and the honour of his law, made them necessary: and to enter into his glory ; which began at his resurrection from the dead, and is seen in his exaltation and session at the right hand of God; upon his ascension he was received up to glory, entered into it, took possession of it, and is crowned with it; and which will still be more manifest, when he shall come to judge the world in righteousness; when his saints also shall appear in glory with him, and shall be everlasting spectators of his glory; and indeed, his entrance into glory is not merely for himself, but in the name and behalf of them. The Vulgate Latin version reads, and so, or thus to enter into his glory; that is, by the way of sufferings, which is the way through which his saints enter the kingdom, ( Acts 14:22). And by a view of the glory that was to follow them, and which he and his people were to enjoy together, was he animated to endure them cheerfully and patiently; and this he is entered into, possesses and enjoys, as the consequence and reward of his sufferings.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-27 - This appearance of Jesus to the two disciples going to Emmaus, happene the same day that he rose from the dead. It well becomes the disciple of Christ to talk together of his death and resurrection; thus they ma improve one another's knowledge, refresh one another's memory, and sti up each other's devout affections. And where but two together are wel employed in work of that kind, he will come to them, and make a third Those who seek Christ, shall find him: he will manifest himself to those that inquire after him; and give knowledge to those who use the helps for knowledge which they have. No matter how it was, but so it was, they did not know him; he so ordering it, that they might the mor freely discourse with him. Christ's disciples are often sad an sorrowful, even when they have reason to rejoice; but through the weakness of their faith, they cannot take the comfort offered to them Though Christ is entered into his state of exaltation, yet he notice the sorrows of his disciples, and is afflicted in their afflictions Those are strangers in Jerusalem, that know not of the death an sufferings of Jesus. Those who have the knowledge of Christ crucified should seek to spread that knowledge. Our Lord Jesus reproved them for the weakness of their faith in the Scriptures of the Old Testament. Di we know more of the Divine counsels as far as they are made known in the Scriptures, we should not be subject to the perplexities we ofte entangle ourselves in. He shows them that the sufferings of Christ wer really the appointed way to his glory; but the cross of Christ was tha to which they could not reconcile themselves. Beginning at Moses, the first inspired writer of the Old Testament, Jesus expounded to them the things concerning himself. There are many passages throughout all the Scriptures concerning Christ, which it is of great advantage to pu together. We cannot go far in any part, but we meet with something tha has reference to Christ, some prophecy, some promise, some prayer, some type or other. A golden thread of gospel grace runs through the whol web of the Old Testament. Christ is the best expositor of Scripture and even after his resurrection, he led people to know the myster concerning himself, not by advancing new notions, but by showing ho the Scripture was fulfilled, and turning them to the earnest study of it.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
26. Ought not (ouci edei). The A.V. does not convey the precise meaning, which is, that, in the eternal order of things, and in fulfilment of the eternal counsel of God as expressed in the prophecies, it was essentially fitting that Christ should suffer. Rev. is clumsy but correct: beloved it not the Christ to suffer?
Robertson's NT Word Studies
24:26 {Behooved it not?} (ouci edei;). Was it not necessary? The very things about the death of Jesus that disturbed them so were the strongest proof that he was the Messiah of the Old Testament.
