The Son – Day 76

₁₈One day when Jesus was praying alone, the disciples came to him. “Who do the crowds say I am?” he asked them.

₁₉“Some say that you are John the Baptist,” they answered. “Others say that you are Elijah, while others say that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life.”

₂₀“What about you?” he asked them. “Who do you say I am?”

Peter answered, “You are God's Messiah.”

₂₁Then Jesus gave them strict orders not to tell this to anyone. ₂₂He also said to them, “The Son of Man must suffer much and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the teachers of the Law. He will be put to death, but three days later he will be raised to life.”
