“And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.”
King James Version (KJV)
8:27 #Mt 16:13|; Lu 9:18.
8:30 He enjoined them silence for the present, That he might not encourage the people to set him up for a temporal king; That he might not provoke the scribes and Pharisees to destroy him before the time and, That he might not forestall the bright evidence which was to be given of his Divine character after his resurrection.
8:31 #Mt 16:21|; Lu 9:22.
