Then how do you explain Jesus’ rebuke to Peter? “What is that to you” does not seem like something one would say in answer to a brotherly or fatherly statement.

I don’t know.

It could be a warm and reassuring “That’s in My hands, not yours.”

When Julian of Norwich (14th century English mystic) asked Our Lord if her friend Margery Kempe was saved, Jesus told her, “Don’t ask. It’s not for you to know.”
