Mateus 16

Jesus commented on the implications of Peter’s recognition of Jesus being the Messiah.

13 When Jesus came with us disciples to the region near Caesarea Philippi town, he asked us, "Who do people say that I, the one who came from heaven, really am?" 14 We answered, "Some people say that you are John the Baptizer, who has come back to life again. Others say that you are the prophet Elijah, who has returned from heaven as God promised. Still others say that you are the prophet Jeremiah or one of the other prophets who lived long ago, who has come back to life again." 15 Jesus said to us, "What about you? Who do you say that I am?" 16 Simon Peter said to him, "You are the Messiah! You are the Son of the all-powerful God."
