οὐχὶ … ἔδει παθεῖν τὸν Χριστόν; ‘Behoved it not the Messiah to suffer?’ It was a divine necessity, Matthew 26:54; John 12:24; John 12:32; John 11:49-52; Acts 17:3; 1 Peter 1:10-11. Thus St Luke mainly dwells on the Resurrection as a spiritual necessity; St Mark as a great fact; St Matthew as a glorious and majestic manifestation; and St John in its effects on the minds of the members of the Church.
