Peter's Confession of Christ

World Messianic Bible (WMB)

Mat 16:13–20

13 Now when Yeshua came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”
14 They said, “Some say Yochanan the Immerser, some, Elijah, and others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
17 Yeshua answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
18 I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Sheol will not prevail against it.
19 I will give to you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven; and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven.”
20 Then he commanded the disciples that they should tell no one that he was Yeshua the Messiah.

27 Yeshua went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?”
28 They told him, “Yochanan the Immerser, and others say Elijah, but others, one of the prophets.”
29 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Messiah.”
30 He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.

18 As he was praying alone, the disciples were near him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”
19 They answered, “‘Yochanan the Immerser,’ but others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, that one of the old prophets has risen again.”
20 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “The Messiah of God.”
21 But he warned them and commanded them to tell this to no one,
