Who Is Jesus?

(Matthew 16.13-20; Luke 9.18-21)

²⁷ Jesus and his disciples went to the villages near the town of Caesarea Philippi. As they were walking along, he asked them, “What do people say about me?”

^28 (A) The disciples answered, “Some say you are John the Baptist or maybe Elijah.^[a] Others say you are one of the prophets.”

^29 (B) Then Jesus asked, “But who do you say I am?”

“You are the Messiah!” Peter replied.
