And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

• Christ

He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

• Prudence

Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

• Concerning

From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

• Andrew
• Faith
• Messiah

He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.
