Peter's Confession of the Messiah
27 Jesus went out with His disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the road He asked His disciples, "Who do people say that I am?"

They answered Him, "John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, one of the prophets."
29
"But you," He asked them again, "who do you say that I am?" Peter answered Him, "You are the Messiah!"
30
And He strictly warned them to tell no one about Him.
