13 When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"*16:13 "Son of Man" is a title Jesus used for himself.

14 "Well," they replied, "some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets."

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

16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah,*16:16 Or the Christ. Messiah (a Hebrew term) and Christ (a Greek term) both mean "anointed one." the Son of the living God."
