Peter Confesses Jesus Is the Christ

27aAnd Jesus went out, along with His disciples, to the villages of bCaesarea Philippi; and on the way He was asking His disciples, saying to them, “Who do people say that I am?” 28aAnd they told Him, saying, “John the Baptist; and others say Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.” 29And He continued asking them, “But who do you say that I am?” aPeter *answered and *said to Him, “You are the 1Christ.” 30And aHe 1warned them to tell no one about Him.
31aAnd He began to teach them that bthe Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32And He was stating the matter aopenly. And Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. 33But turning around and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter and *said, “Get behind Me, aSatan! For you are not setting your mind on 1God’s interests, but man’s.”
