"This shall never happen to you!" 23 Jesus turned and said to Peter,"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."
Jesus was addressing Peter's mindset, and pointing out that he had in mind not the things of god, but rather the things of [sinful] man. He was not calling Peter himself the devil, but rather his line of thought as ungodly.

25Now large crowds were going along with Him; and He turned and said to them, 26"If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.
Again, Jesus addresses the mindset of mankind. In our [sinful] nature as man[kind], we think of worldly things as being more important than the things that matter most to god, like obedience and fraternity.
