Jesus rebukes Peter in Mark 8:33, saying to him, "Get behind me Satan, for thou savourest not the things of God, but the things of men." Peter had just rebuked Jesus for speaking of his impending death, and this is Jesus' response. These rebukes form part of a chiastic structure, an ancient literary device in which an opening set of events is mirrored by a second set to create emphasis and develop themes not otherwise apparent:
a. Peter affirms that Jesus is the Messiah
.. b Jesus refers to his death and resurrection
.... c Peter rebukes Jesus
.... c' Jesus rebukes Peter
.. b' Jesus refers to death, the cross and life after death
a'. "Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me ..."
Here we see that the two rebukes (events c and c') link Peter's affirmation of Jesus with Jesus' warning not to be ashamed of him. We know that later in the gospel, Peter indeed denies his affirmation of Jesus and seems ashamed to have known him.

Explain the significance of Peter throughout Jesus’ ministry and in the development of the early Church?
The Apostle Peter depicted several things in the Ministry of Jesus. He showed how close one can be with God. He was one of the closest to Jesus was free to express himself, ask or answer questions. Through his responses to Jesus we learnt with faith we can walk on water. He did when Jesus asked him to come to him on water but began to drown when he took his attention off Jesus. The significance of this is that our faith should be stable. Through Peter we see that God can speak through a man and the devil can too. If we are yielded to God, we hear his voice, if we are to the devil, same happens. When Jesus asked His disciples who people said He was, Peter answered correctly and Jesus said God revealed it to him, so Peter heard from God. When Peter reprimanded Jesus when He spoke about His death, Jesus rebuked Satan yet he was talking to Peter, so Peter yielded himself to the devel at that time. It was through Peter the early Church got to know that the Gentiles also were included in God's salvation plan.
