[B-Greek] Mk 8:33 -- ANQRWPOI

Forgive me if this seems off topic. But it is concerned with how a Greek
word is used in a  Greek Biblical Writing.

At Mark 8:33 Mark has Jesus rebuke Peter and call him Satan because
Peter has shown himself with respect to his disdain for a Messiah who
suffers to be thinking the things of "men" (FRONEIS... TA TWN ANQRWPWN).

What if anything is there in Mark's Gospel or elsewhere that might
support the idea that for Mark the term ANQRWPOI is a reference to,  or
a cipher for, or in some way synonymous with, the Jewish leaders who,
according to Mark, oppose Jesus?

Thanks in advance.

Yours,

Jeffrey
