Luke 9:18-22
Chapter 9
18
One day, while Jesus was praying alone, not far from his disciples, he asked them:
“What do people say about me?”
19
And they answered:
“Some say that you are John the Baptist; others say that you are Elijah, and still others, that you are one of the prophets of old, risen from the dead.”
Again, Jesus asked them:
20
“But who do you say that I am?”
Peter answered:
“The Messiah of God.”
21
Then Jesus spoke to them, giving them strict orders not to tell this to anyone.
22
And he added:
“The Son of Man must suffer many things. He will be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and teachers of the law, and he will be put to death. Then, after three days, he will be raised to life.”
