Mark 8:31

The cross and atonement Suffering The resurrection

²⁹ “But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”

³⁰ And Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about Him.

Then 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.

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

³³ But 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.”

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
