Luke 9:18-20 - Peter's Confession

¹⁸ One day, while Jesus was praying privately and the disciples were with him, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say I am?"

¹⁹ They answered, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others one of the ancient prophets who has come back to life."

²⁰ He asked them, "But who do you say I am?" "God's Messiah," Peter replied.

⁶⁶ As a result, many of his disciples turned back and no longer associated with him. ⁶⁷ So Jesus asked the Twelve, "You don't want to leave, too, do you?"

⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. ⁶⁹ Besides, we have believed and remain convinced that you are the Holy One of God."

⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, "I chose you, the Twelve, didn't I? Yet one of you is a devil." ⁷¹ Now he was speaking about Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, because this man was going to betray him, even though he was one of the Twelve.
