Marco 8:30 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 8:30

And he charged them
His disciples, after he had declared his approbation of Peter's confession of faith, and signified he would build his church on that rock, and the gates of hell should not prevail against it: and promised Peter the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and that whatsoever was bound, or loosed by him on earth, should be bound and loosed in heaven; which are omitted by Mark, but related by Matthew, ( Matthew 16:17-19 ) : after this he gave a strict and severe charge,

that they should tell no man of him;
that he was the Messiah, and the Son of God; (See Gill on Matthew 16:20).

Marco 8:30 In-Context

28 Ed essi risposero: Gli uni, Giovanni Battista: altri, Elia; ed altri, uno de’ profeti.

29 Ed egli domandò loro: E voi, chi dite ch’io sia? E Pietro rispose: Tu sei il Cristo.

30 Ed egli vietò loro severamente di dir ciò di lui ad alcuno.

31 Poi cominciò ad insegnar loro ch’era necessario che il Figliuol dell’uomo soffrisse molte cose, e fosse reietto dagli anziani e dai capi sacerdoti e dagli scribi, e fosse ucciso, e in capo a tre giorni risuscitasse.

32 E diceva queste cose apertamente. E Pietro, trattolo da parte, prese a rimproverarlo.
