"Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, "You are the Messiah." 30 Then Jesus ordered them, "Do not tell anyone about me." 31 Then Jesus began to teach his disciples: "The Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the teachers of the Law. He will be put to death, but three days later he will rise to life." 32 He made this very clear to them. So Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 But Jesus turned around, looked at his disciples, and rebuked Peter. "Get away from me, Satan," he said.

8. This is the first time we see Jesus called Christ. When Peter says, ‘You are the Christ’, Jesus does not deny it, but ordered his disciples to keep it a secret. Discuss with the person sitting next to you why you think Jesus said this. Understanding

9. Jewish expectations of the Messiah. Not wanting to demand obedience or respect Political issues – puts Jesus at risk. Wanting to focus on his teaching The fact that Jesus often told people not to tell others who he was is called the Messianic Secret. Now answer the question in your book: Why did Jesus want to keep the Messianic secret? Understanding

10. Remember: Jesus’ disciples have given up everything to follow Jesus. They have left their families, homes, jobs to follow him. Here, he tells them he’s going to die. How would you feel if you were Peter? Understanding

11. "Get away from me, Satan," he said. "Your thoughts don't come from God but from human nature!" Why? How might they have been feeling? Understanding

12. I have given up everything for Jesus, my family, my home, my possessions – all to follow him! Of course I am not happy he is going to die on me now! Pete’s forgotten God’s purpose for me! He’s trying to tempt me with an easier path! I got enough temptation in the desert thank you! I think he still has a lot to learn if he is to follow me! “Peter was right to rebuke Jesus” Do you agree? Give both sides of the argument. Refer to Mark’s Gospel in your answer.
