Peter's confession
See them side by side
Luke 9:18-21
18And it happened while he was praying alone, that the disciples were with him, and he asked them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” 19And they answered and said, “John the Immerser; but others, Elijah; and others, that one of the ancient prophets has risen.” 20And he said to them, “But you, who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered and said, “The Messiah of God.” 21But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
13Now when Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, he was asking his disciples, saying, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” 14And they said, “Some say John the Immerser, others Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15He says to them, “But you, who do you say that I am?” 16And Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” 17And Jesus answered and said to him, “Happy are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18And I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it. 19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will have been loosed in heaven.” 20Then he ordered the disciples to tell no one that he was the Messiah.
27And Jesus went out, and his disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he was asking his disciples, saying to them, “Who do people say that I am?” 28And they said to him, saying, “John the Immerser; and others, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.” 29And he was asking them, “But you, who do you say that I am?” Peter answers him, “You are the Messiah.” 30And he warned them to tell no one about him.

1. What it says
When Jesus asks, “Who do you say that I am?”, what do the crowds say, and what does Peter answer? (vv. 18-20)
2. What it means
Jesus says anyone who wants to follow him must deny themselves and take up their cross daily. What reason does he give? (vv. 23-25)
3. How I live it
The disciples argued about who was greatest, and Jesus stood a child beside him (vv. 46-48). Whom could you give more attention to today?
