Luke 9:18-20

The Christ Revealed, the Cross Announced, and the Jerusalem Road Begun

Luke moves from delegated mission to growing public confusion, from wilderness provision to messianic confession, from glory on the mountain to failure below, and from Galilean ministry toward the determined road to Jerusalem.

18One day as Jesus was praying in private and the disciples were with Him, He questioned them: “Who do the crowds say I am?”

19They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, that a prophet of old has arisen.”

20“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”
