And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, ‘Get behind me, Satan! For you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.’ (Mark 8: 32-33)

Matthew's gospel says Peter took aside Jesus to say, "God forbid it, Lord. This must never happen to you." The common perception is that faith protects. The deeper the faithfulness, the greater the protection.

Jesus warns Peter and his disciples that this is thinking in human terms not as God thinks. Holy wisdom can be very far from common sense.

In the Eastern Church the Sophia - Wisdom - of God is especially exalted. Holy Wisdom is usually female in character and leans toward a transcendent rationality.

For in her is the spirit of understanding: holy, one, manifold, subtle, eloquent, active, undefiled, sure, sweet, loving that which is good, quick, which nothing hindereth, beneficent, Gentle, kind, steadfast, assured, secure, having all power, overseeing all things, and containing all spirits, intelligible, pure, subtle. For wisdom is more active than all active things: and reacheth everywhere by reason of her purity. For she is a breath of the power of God, and a certain pure emanation of the glory of the almighty God: and therefore no defiled thing cometh into her. For she is the brightness of eternal light, and the unspotted mirror of God's majesty, and the image of his goodness. And being but one, she can do all things: and remaining in herself the same, she reneweth all things, and through nations conveyeth herself into holy souls, she maketh the friends of God and prophets. For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom. For she is more beautiful than the sun, and above all the order of the stars: being compared with the light, she is found before it. For after this cometh night, but no evil can overcome wisdom. (The Wisdom of Solomon 7: 22-30)
