Luke 9:18-22

New King James Version

Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ^(A)

^18 (B)And it happened, as He was alone praying, that His disciples joined Him, and He asked them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”

¹⁹ So they answered and said, ^(C)“John the Baptist, but some say Elijah; and others say that one of the old prophets has risen again.”

²⁰ He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

^(D)Peter answered and said, “The Christ of God.”

Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection^(E)

^21 (F)And He strictly warned and commanded them to tell this to no one, ²² saying, ^(G)“The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.”
