Peter’s Confession of Christ

27 Then Jesus and His disciples went out to the villages of (a)Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that I am?”(A) 28 They answered Him, “John the Baptist; and others say Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.” 29 And He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter replied to Him, “You [in contrast to the others] are the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed).”
