Jesus Predicts His Death
31 He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again.
32 He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
33 But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter.
“Get behind me, Satan!” he said.
“You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
Jesus tells us that there are two concerns: the concerns of God and the concerns of man. I guess the concerns of God is related to the spiritual salvation of his creation - man - while the concern of man is his own physical salvation.
