Hi Apollos, Remember that as well as a particular designation for the devil, "satan" is also a word from the Hebrew meaning "adversary", and is used as such in specific contexts that are clearly not the devil. So when Jesus said this to Peter, He could have simply been refering to Peters adversarial stance to Jesus' mission, and not, in fact, calling Peter "Satan", as in "the devil". If we translate the entire verse instead of leaving just one word transliterated, we would read, "get thee behind me, adversary!" I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |

Thanks Mark for a helpful suggestion. I still puzzle over the fact that on the one hand there are passages that seem to suggest that Satan tried to persuade Jesus not to be obedient to the Father's will and go to the cross (e.g.the temptation to worship Satan and be given all the kingdoms of the world- Matthew 4:8-10), and on the other hand there are passages which suggest that the cross was a Satanic attack on Jesus (e.g. John 13:2,27; 14:30 | ||||||

Hi Apollos, Was Satan's offer of the kingdoms of the world and their glory in return for worship actually an attempt to thwart Jesus from going to the cross? Did that figure in at all? Or is that something that is commonly taught, but that doesn't have actual Scriptural foundation? Certainly Satan was trying to get Jesus to act independantly, but I don't see where the devil actually suggests that this is to try to get Jesus to avoid the cross. What do you think? Love in Christ, Mark |
