Luke 9:18-22

Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ

18 ¹Now it happened that as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. And he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?"

19 And they answered, ²"John the Baptist. But others say, ³Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen."

20 Then he said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" And Peter answered, ⁴"The Christ of God."

Jesus Foretells His Death

21 ⁵And he strictly charged and commanded them to tell this to no one,

22 ⁶saying, ⁷"The Son of Man must ⁸suffer many things and ⁹be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on ¹⁰the third day be raised."
