Context of Mark 8:31

29And he asked them, But ye, who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering says to him, Thou art the Christ. 30And he charged them straitly, in order that they should tell no man about him. And 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. 33But he, turning round and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, Get away behind me, Satan, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.
