Contextual Overview

¹⁸On another occasion, the twelve cowboys came to Jesus as he prayed alone. When they walked up, he asked them, "Who does everyone think I am?" ¹⁹"Some say you are John the Baptizer," one of 'em said. "Others claim you are Elijah or one of the other great cowboys of God from long ago." ²⁰"What about y'all?" he asked them. "Who do you think I am?"Pete said, "You are God's Top Hand. The one who will gather us and save us from the coming brush fire." ²¹Jesus told all of 'em not to tell anyone what Pete had just said. ²²He then told 'em, "God's Top Hand will suffer terribly at the hands of the religious institution. They will kill him, but three days later he will come over the hill, riding back from the dead." ²³And then he spoke up for all to hear. "If you want to ride with me, you've got to quit riding for yourself, sacrifice your own desires, and follow me. ²⁴If you try to protect your own life, you'll lose it, but if you are willing to lose your life for me, you will find it. ²⁵What does a man gain if he has everything in the world, but loses himself in the process? ²⁶If you are ashamed of my brand, then God's Top Hand will shut the gate to God's outfit on you. ²⁷I'm telling you straight that there are some here now who will not die before they have seen God's outfit."

Teach the older cowboys how to control their temper, be respectable in all ways, and to live wisely. Their faith needs to be sound. A faith is lame without patience and love.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he strictly charged them, and commanded them,.... Though he highly approved of this their confession, and pronounced Peter blessed upon it; and signified that it was a discovery which flesh and blood could not make, but what was made to him his Father: yet he gave them a strict charge, and laid his commands on them,

to tell no man that thing; that he was the Messiah, and the eternal Son of God, and the true God, as well as the son of man, and really man: the reasons for this: :-.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
