³⁷ He answered and said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

Watering, Working, Warning

⁵ Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ^(A)ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? ^6 (B)I planted, ^(C)Apollos watered, ^(D)but God gave the increase. ⁷ So then ^(E)neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

^8 (A)But you shall receive power ^(B)when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and ^(C)you shall be ^[a]witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and ^(D)Samaria, and to the ^(E)end of the earth.”

^16 (A)He who hears you hears Me, ^(B)he who rejects you rejects Me, and ^(C)he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.”

⁴¹ The Son of Man will send out His angels, ^(A)and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness,

¹⁸ For I will not dare to speak of any of those things ^(A)which Christ has not accomplished through me, in word and deed, ^(B)to make the Gentiles obedient—

²¹ So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! ^(A)As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”

^20 (A)Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ^(A)

¹³ When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, ^(B)“Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”

¹⁴ So they said, ^(C)“Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or ^(D)one of the prophets.”

¹⁵ He said to them, “But who do ^(E)you say that I am?”

¹⁶ Simon Peter answered and said, ^(F)“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
