This includes not only the suffering but also the subsequent entry into glory, a theme that underscores the necessity of Christ’s redemptive work. The verse highlights how Jesus' suffering is integral to his mission and ultimate triumph, weaving together historical expectation with divine purpose.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 27. Beginning at Moses. At the writings of Moses, or at the beginning of the Old Testament; or rather the word beginning should be separated from what follows, denoting simply that he commenced his discourse, and not that he began at the prophets as well as at Moses; thus, "And commencing his discourse, or replying to them, he expounded from Moses and the prophets," &c. All the prophets. The books of the Old Testament generally. He expounded. He explained or interpreted it to them. Probably he showed them that their notions of the Messiah were not according to the Scriptures.
