Matthew 16:13-16

Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ

13 ¹Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"

14 And they said, "Some say ²John the Baptist, others say ³Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"

16 Simon Peter replied, ⁴"You are ⁵the Christ, ⁶the Son of ⁷the living God."
