Notes

Matthew 16:22

began to rebuke Him: Peter realized that Jesus was God's Messiah. But he did not understand that the Messiah had to suffer.

Matthew 16:21–28

Jesus was now officially recognized by his disciples as the Messiah. He then began to reveal a surprising part of his mission. He must suffer before entering his glory (Matthew 16:21–23). Those who follow him will also face suffering (16:24–28).
