New International Reader's Version

Mark 8:29-33 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

29. "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ."

30. Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.

31. Jesus then began to teach his disciples. He taught them that the Son of Man must suffer many things. He taught them that the elders would not accept him. The chief priests and the teachers of the law would not accept him either. He must be killed and after three days rise again.

32. He spoke clearly about this. Peter took Jesus to one side and began to scold him.

33. Jesus turned and looked at his disciples. He scolded Peter. "Get behind me, Satan!" he said. "You are not thinking about the things of God. Instead, you are thinking about human things."
