Luke 9:18-20 - Peter's Confession

¹⁸ One day while He was praying in solitude, His disciples were nearby, and He asked them, "Who do people say that I am?"

¹⁹ They answered, "John the Baptist; though others say Elijah, and still others that one of the ancient prophets has come back to life."

²⁰ So He said to them, "But who do you, yourselves, say that I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God!"

⁶⁶ As a result of this many of His disciples turned their backs on Him and stopped accompanying Him. ⁶⁷ So Jesus said to the Twelve, "You too do not want to go back, do you?"

⁶⁸ Simon Peter answered Him, "To whom can we go, Lord? You have the message that gives eternal life, ⁶⁹ and we have come to believe, yes more, we know by experience, that you are the Holy One of God."

⁷⁰ Jesus answered them, "Did I not myself select you as the Twelve? And yet one of you is a devil." ⁷¹ He was referring to Judas, Simon Iscariot's son, for he was going to betray Him, although he was one of the Twelve.
