Mark 8:24-32

²⁴The man looked around, and said, “I can see people, but they look like trees walking.”

²⁵So Jesus touched the man's eyes again. He could see properly—he was cured and his sight was clear.

²⁶Jesus sent the man home, and told him, “Don't go back through the village.”

²⁷Jesus and his disciples left to go to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say I am?”

²⁸“Some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, others say one of the prophets,” they replied.

²⁹“But who do you say I am?” he asked them. “You are the Messiah!” Peter answered.

³⁰Jesus warned them not to tell anybody about him.

³¹Then Jesus began to explain to them that the Son of man would suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and religious teachers. He would be killed, but three days later would rise again.

³²Jesus explained this to them very clearly. But Peter took Jesus aside and started to reprimand him for what he said.
