Summary
Because what is it that we hear several times in Holy Scripture, we hear the great commission that we are to go there for and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son of the Holy Spirit. We hear that how our people's supposed to come to faith if they don't hear the message, for it is the gospel that the Spirit uses to change the heart of people. Right after he says, and he sternly ordered them not to tell anyone about him, that's why it says, then he began to teach them that the Son of man must undergo great suffering and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the scribes and be killed and after three days rise again. And Jesus turns to Peter in front of all of the disciples and says, get behind me, Satan, for you are setting your mind not on divine things, but on human things. And it reminds us that it reminds us of that divine must, that Jesus taught his disciples, that he must go to the cross, that he must be raised from the dead. When Jesus taught, when He taught those disciples that knew He was God, but didn't get the mission yet, when He began to teach about the mission, and Peter cried out, mercy on you, mercy on you.
