Peter gets it wrong (Matthew 16) | Story

A massive part of understanding scripture comes from understanding the context that it’s played out in. In passages like this, where Peter challenges Jesus’ planned schedule as absurd, we have to see the wider picture to understand the actions of the characters. This shift in Jesus’ teaching is totally incompatible with the expectations and teachings of a coming Messiah, and Peter putting his foot in it is a very predictable response. It’s easy to make Peter look like a fool or a man of weak faith in this conversation, but neither is true. By understanding why he had trouble grasping this concept, we also shed light on why the religious leaders lead Jesus to his death.
