Questions Jesus asks

Who do you say I am?

27Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?”

28They told him, “John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others, one of the prophets.”

29He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”

30He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.

31He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

32He spoke to them openly. Peter took him and began to rebuke him.

33But he, turning around and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men.”

He then teaches that the Son of Man must suffer, be rejected, be killed and rise after three days. Peter begins to rebuke him. Jesus turns, looks at the disciples and rebukes Peter. What does Peter do after hearing the account of suffering and death?
