Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 9:20
And he said unto them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answering said, The Christ of God.Thus, the Twelve had not been swayed by the savage denunciations of the people's priestly leaders. The apostle Peter, leading all the rest, firmly acknowledged him as the Christ of God. For full discussion of Peter, his primacy, his successor, the keys of the kingdom, the gates of Hades, and many other things suggested by this verse, see under the parallels in Matthew and Mark (my Commentary on Matthew... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:1-50
G. Jesus’ preparation of the Twelve 9:1-50In this last major section describing Jesus’ ministry in and around Galilee (Luke 4:14 to Luke 9:50), Luke stressed Jesus’ preparation of His disciples for the opposition that lay before them. This was the climax of Jesus’ ministry in Galilee, and these events formed a bridge to Luke’s unique major section on Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51 to Luke 19:10).Previously Luke recorded Jesus teaching and authenticating His teaching with miracles mainly... read more

IV. JESUS’ MINISTRY IN AND AROUND GALILEE 4:14-9:50Luke commenced his account of Jesus’ public ministry with His return to Galilee following His temptation. This section of his Gospel ends with Jesus’ decision to leave Galilee for Jerusalem and the Cross (Luke 9:51). Luke did not give as much information about Jesus’ Galilean ministry as the other synoptic writers did (cf. Matthew 4:12 to Matthew 16:12; Mark 1:14 to Mark 8:26). He chose, rather, to emphasize Jesus’ ministry as He traveled from... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:18-20
Jesus’ question and Peter’s reply 9:18-20 (cf. Matthew 16:13-16; Mark 8:27-29)Luke omitted several incidents here that the other evangelists included (Matthew 14:22 to Matthew 16:12; Mark 6:45 to Mark 8:26; John 6:16-66). By doing so, he tied the questions of Herod and the multitude about Jesus’ identity with Peter’s answer to that question. This selection of material helps the reader see that the question of Jesus’ identity was very important to Luke. It should be to every evangelist. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 9:20
Speaking for the other disciples Peter answered that Jesus was the Messiah whom God had sent (Psalms 2:2; Daniel 9:26; cf. Isaiah 9:6-7; Isaiah 11:1-16). In saying this Peter rejected the notion that Jesus was just a prophet, even one of the greatest prophets. This is how Moslems view Jesus today. Rather he believed that Jesus was the Messiah promised in the Old Testament.It is not difficult to know just what Peter’s concept of the Messiah was when he made this confession of faith. When Peter’s... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 9:18-22
73. Peter’s confession of the Messiah (Matthew 16:13-23; Mark 8:27-33; Luke 9:18-22)Jesus and the apostles travelled up to Caesarea Philippi, in the far north of Palestine. While there, Jesus asked the apostles who they believed him to be. Peter, probably speaking for the group, replied that he was the promised Messiah, the Son of God (Matthew 16:13-16).Delighted at this insight, Jesus told the group (through words addressed to their spokesman Peter) that they would be the foundation on which... read more
