SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:33
Y l, volvindose y mirando a sus discípulos, ri a Pedro, diciendo: Aprtate de mí, Satans; porque no sabes las cosas que son de Dios, sino las que son de los hombres.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 33. But when he had turned about , etc..] Upon Peter, and showed quick resentment at what he said: and looked on his disciples ; he cast his eye toward, them at the same time, and expressed to them the same displeasure in his countenance, they being of the same mind: he rebuked Peter, saying, get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God ; things which were according to the will of God, as the sufferings of Christ were: they were according to the determinate counsel of his will; what he had determined in his purposes and council should be; and what he had declared in the Scriptures of truth, the revelation of his will, would be; and in which, according to them, he should have a great concern himself, ( Isaiah 53:6,10), and whereby all his divine perfections would be glorified, and therefore may well be said to be the things of God; and which ought to be savoured, minded, and attended to, as things of the greatest moment and importance: and which, though the apostle had often read of in the books of the Old Testament; yet either had not a clear understanding of them, as being the will of God; or however, they were greatly out of his view at this time, his mind being possessed with notions of a temporal kingdom, and of worldly honour and grandeur: wherefore it follows, but the things that be of men ; as were the notions of Christ's being a temporal prince, that would set up a worldly kingdom, and deliver the Jews from the Roman yoke, and make his subjects happy, with an affluence of all worldly things; and particularly his favourites, as the disciples were: these were schemes of men's devising, and were suited to the corrupt nature, and carnal inclinations of men; and these things at present too much possessed Peter's mind: wherefore the Lord rebuked him in a very severe, though just manner; being touched in his most tender part, and dissuaded from that which his heart was set upon, and he came into the world for; whose keen resentment is seen by using a phrase he never did but to the devil himself, ( Matthew 4:10); (see Gill on Matthew 16:23).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 27-33 - These things are written, that we may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God. These miracles of our Lord assure us that he was no conquered, but a Conqueror. Now the disciples are convinced that Jesu is the Christ; they may bear to hear of his sufferings, of which Chris here begins to give them notice. He sees that amiss in what we say an do, of which we ourselves are not aware, and knows what manner of spirit we are of, when we ourselves do not. The wisdom of man is folly when it pretends to limit the Divine counsels. Peter did not rightl understand the nature of Christ's kingdom.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
8:33 {He turning about and seeing his disciples} (epistrafeis kai idwn tous maqetas autou). Peter had called Jesus off to himself (proskalesamenos), but Jesus quickly wheeled round on Peter (epistrafeis, only strafeis in Matthew). In doing that the other disciples were in plain view also ( this touch only in Mark). Hence Jesus rebukes Peter in the full presence of the whole group. Peter no doubt felt that it was his duty as a leader of the Twelve to remonstrate with the Master for this pessimistic utterance (Swete). It is even possible that the others shared Peter's views and were watching the effect of his daring rebuke of Jesus. It was more than mere officiousness on the part of Peter. He had not risen above the level of ordinary men and deserves the name of Satan whose role he was now acting. It was withering, but it was needed. The temptation of the devil on the mountain was here offered by Peter. It was Satan over again. See on Mt 16:23.
