Matthew 16:13-16

Peter’s Confession at Caesarea Philippi

13 Now [when] Jesus came to the region of Caesarea {Philippi}, he began asking his disciples, saying, "Who do people say [that] the Son of Man is?"

14 And they said, {Some} [say] John the Baptist, but others Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

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

16 And Simon Peter answered [and] said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God!"
