Mark 8:31-33

Seeing Jesus Clearly: Bread, Blindness, Confession, Cross, and Discipleship

Mark 8 moves from Jesus' compassionate provision for a hungry multitude, to Pharisaic sign-demanding unbelief, to disciple dullness about bread, to a staged healing of blindness, to Peter's confession, to Jesus' first passion prediction, and finally to the call for cross-bearing discipleship.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

31Then He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and after three days rise again.

32He spoke this message quite frankly, and Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.

33But Jesus, turning and looking at His disciples, rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”
