"Get behind me, Satan", or "Go away, Satan", and in older translations such as the King James Version "Get thee behind me, Satan", is a saying of Jesus in the New Testament. It is first attested in Mark 8:33, where Jesus is addressing Peter; this is retold in Matthew 16:23 (Greek: Ὕπαγε ὀπίσω μου, Σατανᾶ, Hypage opisō mou, Satana). In the temptation of Jesus, in Matthew 4 and Luke 4:8, Jesus rebukes "the tempter" (Greek: ὁ πειραζῶν, ho peirazōn) or "the devil" (Greek: ὁ διάβολος, ho diabolos) with the same phrase.[1][2]

    Rev. Walter Balfour (1776–1852) An inquiry into the Scriptural doctrine concerning the devil and Satan 1826 "The expression "get thee behind me satan," is the same that our Lord used, Luke iv. 8. when he was tempted of the devil and satan. There is nothing at all remarkable in calling Peter satan, as David and the angel of the Lord were called so in the Old Testament. " Get thee behind me, adversary " was highly proper language, for Peter was our Lord's adversary, not from design, but from ignorance"
