Mark 8:27-33
Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea
Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, ‘Who do people say that I am?’
And they answered him, ‘John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and still others,
one of the prophets.’ He asked them, ‘But who do you say that I am?’ Peter
answered him, ‘You are the Messiah.’ And he sternly ordered them not to tell
anyone about him.
Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo
great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the
scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. He said all this quite
openly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But turning and
looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, ‘Get behind me, Satan! For
you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.’
Reflection:
Who do I say that Jesus is?
Do I always set my mind on human things?
