When did Jesus tell Peter he would understand what Jesus was doing?
Jesus told Peter he did not yet know what Jesus was doing, but he would understand at a future day when God would reveal it. The context contrasts Peter's present inability to understand with a later revelation from God, pointing to a future revealing rather than immediate comprehension.
Les explains that Peter was not in a position to understand all this as yet. Jesus plainly told him, “Peter, you don't know what I'm doing, but you will at a future day when God would reveal it.” Les then connects this future understanding to Romans 16:25, where Paul writes about the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery, the secret that had been kept hidden. This shows the timing was not immediate but awaited God's later revealing.
