Overview & Insights
"But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God." (Luke 9:20)
Jesus asks his disciples who people say he is, then presses Peter for his own answer. Peter's confession is followed immediately by Jesus' first prediction of his suffering and his call for every disciple to take up the cross daily.
