Mark 8:27-33

Christian Standard Bible

Peter’s Confession of the Messiah

²⁷ Jesus^(A) went out with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the road he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?”

²⁸ They answered him, “John the Baptist;^(B) others, Elijah; still others, one of the prophets.”^(C)

²⁹ “But you,” he asked them, “who do you say that I am?”

Peter^(D) answered him, “You are the Messiah.”^{(E) 30} And he strictly warned^(F) them to tell no one about him.

His Death and Resurrection Predicted

³¹ Then^(G) he began to teach them that it was necessary for the Son of Man^(H) to suffer many things and be rejected^(I) by the elders,^(J) chief priests, and scribes,^(K) be killed, and rise^(L) after three days.^{(M) 32} He spoke openly about this. Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. ³³ But turning around and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan!^(N) You are not thinking about God’s concerns^[a] but human concerns.”
