Mark 8:27-29

J.B. Phillips New Testament

Jesus’ question: Peter’s inspired answer

²⁷ Jesus then went away with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, “Who are men saying that I am?”

²⁸ “John the Baptist,” they answered. “But others say that you are Elijah or, some say, one of the prophets.”

²⁹ Then he asked them, “But what about you—who do you say that I am?” “You are Christ!” answered Peter.
