19 aAnd I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth1 will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”  
20 aThen He commanded His disciples that they should tell no one that He was Jesus the Christ.  

Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection

21 From that time Jesus began ato show to His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.  
22 Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying,1 “Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!”  
23 But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, aSatan! bYou are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”  

Take Up the Cross and Follow Him

24 aThen Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and bfollow Me.  
25 For awhoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.

Matthew 16:21-23

Now offense here can also be rendered as a snare or basically a trap. I think that Peter meant well but Jesus likens his comments to the temptations that Satan had previously put Him through. "Far be it from you, Lord." This is essentially saying that God should not lay down His life because He is God. However, that went opposite of what Christ came to do, to sacrifice His sinless and perfect life for all of us. Peter's comment was offensive because it suggested something that was against God's ultimate will.
