Luke 9:18-20

Expanded Bible

Jesus Is the Christ^(A)

¹⁸ One time when Jesus was praying alone, his ·followers [disciples] were with him, and he asked them, “Who do the ·people [crowds] say I am?”

¹⁹ They answered, “Some say you are John the Baptist. Others say you are Elijah [see 9:8; 1 Kin. 17]. And others say you are one of the prophets from long ago who has ·come back to life [risen/appeared again].”

²⁰ Then Jesus asked, “But who do you say I am?”

Peter answered, “You are ·the Christ from God [God’s Messiah; the Messiah sent from God].”
