Mark 8:27-30 (New International Version)

Peter's Confession of Christ

 ²⁷Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, "Who do people say I am?"

 ²⁸They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets."

 ²⁹"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"
      Peter answered, "You are the Christ.^[a]"

 ³⁰Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.
