Peter's Confession and Christ's Answer.

The confession of Peter and the Twelve:

Luke 9:18-22

18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying,Whom say the people that I am?

19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.

20 He said unto them,But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;

22 Saying,The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.
