At Mark 8:33 Mark has Jesus rebuke Peter and call him Satan because
Peter has shown himself with respect to his disdain for a Messiah who
suffers to be thinking the things of "men" (FRONEIS... TA TWN ANQRWPWN).

I am toying with an idea that that there is a link in Mark between
"thinking the things of men" and "thinking as do the Markan enemies of
Jesus" especially the Temple Aristocracy.

But is there?

What if anything is there in Mark's Gospel that might
support the idea that for Mark the term ANQRWPOI is a reference to, or
a cipher for, or in some way synonymous with, the Jewish leaders who,
according to Mark, oppose Jesus?

Thanks in advance.

Yours,

Jeffrey
