What is that to you Peter? This was a very kind, clear and strong correction that Jesus gave to Peter because Peter's jealous and controlling mind had caused him to talk wrongly about the life of another Disciple. This correction helped Peter, he became one of the Leaders of the New Testament Church that we read of in the Book of Acts. If we have a jealous and controlling mind we need to ask God to change and correct us.
