13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi,  *,* he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is? "*

14 They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets."  *

15 "But you," he asked them, "who do you say that I am? "

16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."  *
