Jesus is simply telling Peter that he should not concern himself with what He was doing. It was enough that Peter be about the business that the Lord had given him to do. So it is for every Christian today. Just a daily faithful walk should keep us on the straight and narrow. We do not have time to mind someone else's business. Simply put - trust and obey!
