And he said to them, Why do they say that the Christ is the son of David?

For on this day, in the town of David, a Saviour has come to birth, who is Christ the Lord.

And he had knowledge, through the Holy Spirit, that he would not see death till he had seen the Lord's Christ.

And while the people were waiting, and all men were questioning in their hearts about John, if he was the Christ or not,

And evil spirits came out of a number of them, crying out and saying, You are the Son of God. But he gave them sharp orders not to say a word, because they had knowledge that he was the Christ.

And he said, But who do you say that I am? And Peter, answering, said, The Christ of God.
