Hello James, Just as I thought my first and second response was to long therefore it did not get printed. So I am going to break it up into four parts. This is the first part When you read the passages of scriptures from verse 21 to 23 then you get the clear understanding of why Jesus rebuked Peter. In verse number 21 Jesus was predicting his sufferings and his coming glory. VERSE 21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day . Her Jesus was talking about his crucifixion, his death and that he would raise his body up on the third day. VERSE 22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him saying, Be it far from thee, Lord this shall not be unto thee . Here Peter having walked with him, seen what he had done, knowing the good in him, did not want to accept this fate that Jesus spoke about. Peter did not want to believe that this was to happen to Jesus. He forgot himself and took Jesus laid hands on him .
