This paper deals with the pericope of Mk 8:27-33 as an example of reading
from a contextual methodology, from the resource of its historical situation.
In the framework of the Jewish War, the identity of the followers of Jesus was questioned, especially in those who came from Palestinian Judaism. The indicated pericope presents a “third position” that seeks not to ally itself with the Roman power,
represented by the references to the Herodian family, nor to the armed resistance, represented by the “messianic” confession of Peter and the reprimand directed by Jesus. This reading is possible if the story is understood as a response to the trauma experienced by its first readers.
