    DefinitionShort: to be inevitable, with respect to future developments
    Glosses: ['must be', 'has to be']
    Comments: In a number of languages there is a problem involved in speaking of what is necessary or inevitable in the future, for a distinction is made between that which is purely impersonal or physical and that which is the result of some person’s purpose, intent, or activity. As in the case of {L:δεῖ} in {S:04101300700020} ({D:71.34}), it is impossible in the case of μέλλω in {S:04001701200048} to determine whether the reference is merely to an inevitable future event (‘bound to happen’) or whether this is part of the plan and purpose of God. In order to avoid a wrong interpretation of {S:04001701200048}, it may therefore be useful to translate as ‘in the same way the Son of Man will most certainly be mistreated by them.’
