Peter’s Declaration about Jesus

¹³ Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”

Peter’s Declaration about Jesus

¹⁸ Once when Jesus^[a] was praying alone, with only the disciples near him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”^{(A) 19} They answered, “John the Baptist; but others, Elijah; and still others, that one of the ancient prophets has arisen.”^{(B) 20} Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Messiah^[b] of God.”^(C)

Peter’s Declaration about Jesus

²⁷ Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and on the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?”^{(A) 28} And they answered him, “John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.”^{(B) 29} He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Messiah.”^[a](C)

¹³ As I watched in the night visions,

⁶ But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he then said to the paralytic—“Stand up, take your bed, and go to your home.”

²⁰ And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.”

²⁷ and he has given him authority to execute judgment because he is the Son of Man.^(A)

³⁷ He answered, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man;

⁸ For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”

¹⁴ Since, therefore, the children share flesh and blood, he himself likewise shared the same things, so that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,^{(A) 15} and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by the fear of death.^{(B) 16} For it is clear that he did not come to help angels but the descendants of Abraham. ¹⁷ Therefore he had to become like his brothers and sisters in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make a sacrifice of atonement for the sins of the people.^{(C) 18} Because he himself was tested by what he suffered, he is able to help those who are being tested.^(D)
