Matthew 16:20
That he is Jesus Christ is shown through this. For he says the things of the economy that were about to be — which had to be proclaimed completely after this — *** so that Christ crucified, by those able to bear witness *** But since it was not accepted that a “prophet <perish> outside Jerusalem” (Luke 13:33) — a destruction that has an analogy to “the one who has lost his soul will find it” — for that reason he goes away into Jerusalem (Matthew 16:20–21).

–21 Ὅτι Ἰησοῦς Χριστός ἐστιν, δείκνυται διὰ τούτου· φησὶν γὰρ τὰ τῆς οἰκονομίας μέλλειν ἃ ἔδει κηρύττεσθαι τελείως μετὰ τούτου εἶναι *** ἵνα Χριστὸν ἐσταυρωμένον ὑπὸ τῶν μαρτυρεῖν δυναμέ νων *** ἐπεὶ δὲ οὐκ ἐδέχετο "προφήτην <ἀπολέσθαι> ἔξω Ἰερουσαλὴμ" ἀπώλειαν ἀναλογίαν ἔχουσαν πρὸς τὸ "ἀπολέσας τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ, εὑρήσει αὐτήν", διὰ τοῦτο εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα ἄπεισιν.
