How is that an absurdity? This was a response Jesus gave after telling the disciples how he must suffer and be killed in Jerusalem, and Peter says, "No, this must never happen to you". Jesus reponse was:
"Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men"
The things of men, here being, Peters desire for his friend, Jesus, not to suffer and die - even though doing so mean salvation for all mankind. Satan was tempting Christ, through Peter, to consider not fulfilling the aduous task he was sent for.
Get behing me meaning, don't block the path ahead of me (the cross).
