18. And it came to pass, as he was in retirement praying, his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying, Who say the people that I am?
19. They answering, said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others say, that one of the ancient prophets is risen again.
20. He said to them, But who say ye that I am? Peter answering, said, Christ of God.
21. And he strictly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing,
22. Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be put to death, and be raised the third day.
23. And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
