Peter’s Confession of the Messiah
27 Jesus 8:27–30 Mt 16:13–20; Lk 9:18–20 went out with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the road he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that I am? "
28 They answered him, "John the Baptist; 8:28 Mk 1:4; Lk 7:20 others, Elijah; still others, one of the prophets." 8:28 Mt 2:23; Ac 7:52
29 "But you," he asked them, "who do you say that I am? "
Peter 8:29 Lk 6:14 answered him, "You are the Messiah." 8:29 Mt 1:17; Eph 5:230 And he strictly warned 8:30 2Tm 4:2 them to tell no one about him.
