18 Once when Jesus was praying by himself, the disciples joined him, and he asked them, " Who do the crowds say that I am?"
19
They answered, "John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others that one of the ancient prophets has come back to life."
20
He asked them, " And what about you? Who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ sent from God."
21
Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell this to anyone.
22
He said, " The Human One must suffer many things and be rejected—by the elders, chief priests, and the legal experts—and be killed and be raised on the third day."
