Mark 8
1. Jesus feeds the people miraculously;
10. refuses to give a sign to the Pharisees;
14. admonishes his disciples to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Herod;
22. gives a blind man his sight;
27. acknowledges that he is the Jesus who should suffer and rise again;
34. and exhorts to patience in persecution for the profession of the gospel.














He spoke this message quite frankly
The phrase "He spoke this message quite frankly" indicates Jesus' openness and directness in communicating with His disciples. The Greek word used here is "παρρησίᾳ" (parrēsia), which means to speak openly, boldly, or with confidence. This reflects Jesus' intention to prepare His disciples for the reality of His mission, which included suffering and death. In the historical context, such frankness was necessary to counteract any misconceptions about the nature of the Messiah, who was expected by many to be a political liberator rather than a suffering servant.

and Peter took Him aside
The action of Peter taking Jesus aside is significant. The Greek word "προσλαβόμενος" (proslabomenos) suggests a personal and perhaps protective gesture. Peter, likely motivated by love and concern, seeks to privately address what he perceives as a troubling statement from Jesus. This reflects a common human tendency to resist difficult truths, especially when they challenge deeply held expectations or hopes. Archaeologically, this moment underscores the intimate teacher-disciple relationship that was common in Jewish rabbinic traditions of the time.

and began to rebuke Him
The word "rebuke" comes from the Greek "ἐπιτιμᾶν" (epitiman), which means to admonish or charge sharply. Peter's rebuke of Jesus is a bold and audacious move, reflecting his misunderstanding of Jesus' mission. In the scriptural context, this moment highlights the tension between human expectations and divine purpose. Peter's reaction is emblematic of the struggle to accept a Messiah who would suffer and die, a concept that was countercultural and counterintuitive to Jewish messianic hopes. This passage serves as a reminder of the importance of aligning our understanding with God's revealed truth, even when it challenges our preconceived notions.

Verse 32. - And he spake the saying openly (παῥῤησία); literally, without reserve. This sudden announcement excited St. Peter. It was a new and startling communication. Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. The word προσλαβόμενος indicates that he "took hold of him," to lead him apart, as though to have the opportunity of warning him with the greater familiarity and secrecy. So say St. Chrysostom and others. Peter would not have his own confession of Christ thus evacuated, as it were; nor does he think it possible that the Son of God could be slain. So he takes him apart, lest he should seem to reprove him in the presence of the other disciples; and then he says (Matthew 16:22), "Mercy on thee, Lord (ἵλεώς σοι Κύριε): this shall never be unto thee."
