Context of Mark 8:30

28And they answered him, saying, John the baptist; and others, Elias; but others, One of the prophets. 29And he asked them, But ye, who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering says to him, Thou art the Christ. And he charged them straitly, in order that they should tell no man about him. 31And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and of the chief priests and of the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise [again]. 32And he spoke the thing openly. And Peter, taking him to [him], began to rebuke him.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 27-33Verses 27-33 These things are written, that we may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.
