Peter failed to reflect Jehovah’s thinking when he rebuked Jesus for predicting his own death. Despite Jesus explaining that he would need to suffer and die, Peter, unable to accept this, urged Jesus to prevent it. This showed that Peter was not aligned with Jehovah's purpose for Jesus.
How did Peter on one occasion fail to reflect Jehovah’s thinking?
Consider one occasion when Peter did not reflect Jehovah’s thinking on matters. Jesus had told his apostles that he would have to go to Jerusalem, be handed over to the religious leaders there, endure torture, and then be put to death. (Matt. 16:21) Peter may have found it hard to accept that Jehovah would allow Jesus—the hope of Israel and the promised Messiah—to be put to death. (Matt. 16:16) So Peter took Jesus aside and said: “Be kind to yourself, Lord; you will not have this happen to you at all.” (Matt. 16:22) Because Peter did not reflect Jehovah’s thinking on the matter, he was not thinking in agreement with Jesus
