Lesson 3395

 (Lesson 3395)(04-20-21) Luke 9:19-22

    And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am? They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again. He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God. And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing; Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.”

    In today’s quote, unlike the Matthew account, when Jesus asked the apostles were asked who they thought He is, there is no mention of Peter being selected as the “rock” upon which Jesus would build His church.

    Also in today’s quote, Jesus told His apostles that He would soon be slain only to rise again on the third day freeing from sin those who will believe in Him.~
