Answer Details
The reason for this sharp rebuke was that the addressee wanted to dissuade Jesus from dying on the cross. The statement 'Get behind me, Satan!' was directed at Peter, who had just rebuked Jesus for saying that he would have to suffer and die. Peter wanted Jesus to avoid the suffering and death on the cross, but Jesus knew that it was necessary for the salvation of humanity. Jesus recognized that Peter's advice was not from God, but from his own human understanding, which is why he rebuked him so sharply.
