Satan Spoke Through Peter—When Christ revealed to Peter the time of trial and suffering that was just before Him, and Peter replied, “Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee,” the Saviour commanded, “Get thee behind me, Satan.” Satan was speaking through Peter, making him act the part of the tempter. Satan’s presence was unsuspected by Peter, but Christ could detect the presence of the deceiver, and in His rebuke to Peter He addressed the real foe (Letter 244, 1907).{5BC 1095.5}

Satan talte igennem Peter. - Da Kristus åbenbarede Peter den trængselstid og de lidelser der stod lige foran Ham, og Peter svarede: “Lad det ikke gå så vidt, Herre, dette skal ikke gå dig sådan”, befalede frelseren: “Vig bag mig, Satan.” Satan talte igennem Peter, og fik ham til at handle på fristerens side. Peter anede intet om Satans nærværelse, men Kristus kunne gennemskue bedragerens nærværelse, og i Hans irettesættelse over for Peter, henvendte han sig til den virkelige fjende (Brev 244, 1907).
