Jesus actually calls Peter Satan • How can Peter declare Jesus as Messiah and then be called Satan? • Let us discover the original meaning of this passage Church Interpretation
Today’s interpretation of the narrative is based on an incorrect translation • שָׂטָן • This word meant “to mislead, miss the mark, slip, slide, or to deviate from one’s course” • Today in modern Hebrew it means Satan also. • Peter was trying to change Jesus’ path to our salvation without realizing it Mistranslation

We listen to medical doctors and Lawyers. Why not preachers of the Gospel? • Jesus message is brought to us via preachers • Is there a stumbling block in you to follow Jesus’ words? • Prayer can remove the blocks For us Today
