Context of Mark 8:30
28They answered him, “Some say you are John the Baptizer, others Elijah, still others one of the prophets.” 29He asked them, “But who do you say I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Messiah!” He ordered them not to tell anyone about him. 31Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man would have to suffer a lot. He taught them that he would be rejected by the leaders, the chief priests, and the experts in Moses’ Teachings. He would be killed, but after three days he would come back to life. 32He told them very clearly what he meant. Peter took him aside and objected to this.

- 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. These miracles of our Lord assure us that he was not conquered, but a Conqueror. Now the disciples are convinced that Jesus is the Christ; they may bear to hear of his sufferings, of which Christ here begins to give them notice. He sees that amiss in what we say and do, of which we ourselves are not aware, and knows what manner of spirit we are of, when we…Read the comment
