Commentary on Luke 9:20
Jesus asks: 'But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.' This confession marks a turning point. The Greek 'Christos' (Χριστός, Christ/Messiah) and 'tou theou' (τοῦ θεοῦ, of God) identify Jesus as God's anointed one—the long-awaited Messiah. Peter's confession, representing the twelve, shows their growing faith and understanding. Jesus immediately begins teaching about His suffering, death, and resurrection (v. 22), showing that true messianic understanding requires embracing the cross, not just the crown. Confessing Jesus as Christ demands following Him to suffering.
