What does Luke 9:18-20 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Luke omitted several incidents here that the other evangelists included ( Matthew 14:22 to Matthew 16:12; Mark 6:45 to Mark 8:26; John 6:16-66). By doing Song of Solomon , he tied the questions of Herod and the multitude about Jesus" identity with Peter"s answer to that question. This selection of material helps the reader see that the question of Jesus" identity was very important to Luke. It should be to every evangelist.
