Notes

Mark 8:31

God thought it necessary for Jesus to suffer (see also 9:11; 13:7, 10). The elders, leading priests, and teachers of religious law caused his suffering. But it was ultimately God's will (see 10:33; 11:18, 27; 14:1, 43, 53).
The death of Jesus would not be the end. Three days later, he would rise from the dead.
after three days: This has the same meaning as "on the third day" and "will be three days and three nights" (Matthew 16:21; Luke 9:22; Matthew 12:40).

Mark 8:31–38

Then He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and after three days rise again: Jesus now clearly predicted what he had previously revealed in a hidden way (2:19–20). In response, Peter objected, so Jesus taught him and the other disciples the nature of his mission and what it really means to follow him.

Mark 8:27–38

Peter’s declaration that Jesus is the Christ (the Messiah, God’s chosen king) and the first prediction of his death mark a turning point in the Gospel of Mark. This begins a new stage in his ministry. The question, “Who is this?” asked by the disciples in 4:41, is now answered by Peter.

Mark 8:27–9:1

This section is the first cycle (a repeated pattern) that includes three parts:

Jesus predicts his suffering (8:31),
the disciples respond with misunderstanding (8:32–33), and
Jesus teaches about discipleship (what it means to follow him; 8:34–9:1).

Compare with 9:30–10:31.
