Jesus Is the Christ

18One time when Jesus was praying alone, his followers were with him, and he asked them, “Who do the people say I am?”

19They answered, “Some say you are John the Baptist. Others say you are Elijah. n And others say you are one of the prophets from long ago who has come back to life.”

20Then Jesus asked, “But who do you say I am?”

Peter answered, “You are the Christ from God.”

21Jesus warned them not to tell anyone, saying, 22“The Son of Man must suffer many things. He will be rejected by the Jewish elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of the law. He will be killed and after three days will be raised from the dead.”

Peter replied, “You are the Messiah sent from God!”
