Peter’s Declaration about Jesus
Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. While they were away from the crowds Jesus took the opportunity to talk privately with his disciples.

Jesus:
Peter, who do you think I am?

Peter:
Sorry?

Jesus:
Who am I?

Peter:
Well, you’re... you know... you’re Jesus aren’t you?

Jesus:
And?

Peter:
And I’m Peter. Look are you feeling all right?

Jesus:
No, no, I mean what else d’you think I am?

Peter:
Oh! I see. Well, you’re a good friend.

Jesus: And?

Peter:
All right then you’re my best friend.

Jesus:
And?

Peter: And er... well, a lot of people say that your other things like, a really good person. Or…

Jesus: Or what?

Peter:
Or a really good teacher. They say you’ve got some really good ideas... although a lot of them seem to think that your good ideas are bad.
