Was this before or after Jesus ......called .......Peter SATAN?

You do love your deflection.... lol.... but it was before of course !
Are you suggesting Christ was just being sarcastic guy with the “get behind me”?

Really? After earlier in Matthew having the devil follow Christ for 40 days tempting Jesus in the desert- You think there was just no way the devil would work on “Blessed Kepha....? -“flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee Kepha, but my Father who is in heaven.- Impossible you say....? “The devil is not capable of that sort of thing”
Casting out demons is just more Catholic superstition...
You also probably think satan did not enter Judas either.... just more imagery I suppose..... You probably don’t even believe satan was trying to kill Christ ever since Christ’s birth.

Actually, ThankYou, your deflection got me to think more about the get behind me meaning....while also making my point, with a deeper meaning.
OF COURSE satan would move on Peter- AND Christ would know it! (3 cock crows stuff) I never saw this before.... why wouldn’t satan not try to stop Christ’s Church from growing and getting on for 2000 years and counting? satan would FOR SURE go after Peter at the very moment Christ was handing over to him earthly authority... and Christ rebukes the devil... It would not make scriptural headlines otherwise....

It makes perfect sense... forgot all about the get behind me....
Luke 4:13
”And all the temptation being ended, the devil departed from him for a time.“

Imagine if satan succeeded in stopping the Church from starting, from rising out of the demise of the Roman Empire? Heck 20,000 Protestant sects today would be 20 million by now.... and Christ would have been thoroughly diluted by now....

I leave you with this....
