Gospel from St. Mark 8:27-33
Jesus and his disciples now left for the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and on the way he began questioning his disciples, saying to them: " Who are men saying that I am?" They said to him: "John the Baptist, and others, Elijah, still others, One of the prophets." And he put the question to them: " You, though, who do you say I am?" In answer Peter said to him: "You are the Christ." At that he strictly charged them not to tell anyone about him. Also, he started teaching them that the Son of man must undergo many sufferings and be rejected by the older men and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and rise three days later. Indeed, without outspokenness he was making that statement. But Peter took him aside and started rebuking him. He turned, looked at his disciples and rebuked Peter, and said: "Get behind me, Satan, because you think, not God's thoughts, but those of men."
