Christ showeth that he must suffer many things by the Elders, chief Priests, and Scribes, Matth. 16.21. true, yet he doth not there show that he must not suffer the wrath of God. God fulfilled those things which he had before showed by the mouth of all his Prophets, that Christ should suffer, Act. 3.18.1 according to this sense the Greek Text is to be read, and not as you seem to mistake it; this may include, but certainly excludes not the suffering of the wrath of God, Luke 24.25, 26. concludes that Christ was to suffer: the word All ver. 26. includes the suffering of divine justice: the word All Act. 13.27, 28, 29. is to be taken in a limited sense, for all things that were written of him to be fulfilled by the Romans, and the Jews, as the instruments thereof; not absolutely for all things whatsoever he was to suffer from any.
